[x] . . . go up. You will regenerate faster outside of the Earth's atmosphere. You can survive the vacuum of space. Can he?
Hey guys? lets not fire a C-impactor at the planet we live on.

I don't see why you'd think we would. Black Swan is all ready very careful about not causing collateral with her blasts, she's gonna apply that judgement to how she aims a light speed sprint.

it's amazing how consistently this quest reduces me to air punching and ecstatic glee.
I don't mean to knock your vote, but this reminded me of a scene from One Punch Man where Boros kicks Saitama hard enough to send him flying to the moon, only for Saitama to use the moon as a platform to jump right back to the earth seconds later.
Unlike OPM, this actually does pay lip service to physics. Even assuming (and it's one hell of an assumption) that SM can reach the moon's escape velocity by…. Jumping or something, that's not actually a guarantee he will be able to hit earth. The moon is very far away and both it and earth are moving. Trying to plot an interception (even without having to worry about circularization thanks to him being able to just ignore/regenerate from reentry heating) with only one impulse of thrust is really hard. Like, requires a supercomputer hard. SM does not have super cognition, he's not plotting that out in his head.
That's actually more of a concern.

Yeah.......... Don't Break the moon.I don't mean to knock your vote, but this reminded me of a scene from One Punch Man where Boros kicks Saitama hard enough to send him flying to the moon, only for Saitama to use the moon as a platform to jump right back to the earth seconds later.
This does remind me. When Leviathan first fell to the earth, isn't there a bunch of space debris made from its flesh orbiting the planet right now?
Yeah what damage did the Leviathan sustain t its body or do to space infrastructure? are there bits of Leviathan in Space making goldnine?
For that matter speaking of OPM..... organzed Named Behemoths anyone? The B Association

Hmm thinking about it another reason Flight should be the Pie, is that it came from a combo of Crimson Soprano and Novalight flight. Novalight flight in fact was strong and fast enough that she could go supersonic unlike Crimson soprano floating.
On the other hand while boosted by Potency and Solar absorption Black Swan regen is from Soldier X and it was only meant to keep the body in peak shape without need of maintenance, hell Soldier X didnt have a healing factor.
SO yeh I'm pretty confident that flight is the pie now, could still be wrong of course, but based on our Info Monas flight is definately a Secondary Power unlike regen thats basically just to create her energy body.

If anything this should make for an awesome scene.

[X] . . . go through. You have a hyper-dense core. You have enough juice for one light speed dash. Can he survive a direct hit at relativistic speeds? Let's find out.
Oh....oh FUCK.....does SM straight up have perfect molecular control of his own body down to the atoms as part of his powerset?!
And part of it involves him being able to adapt his molecules to whatever is harming him once he understands what is hitting him?
I would also point out for the "go through" option: the closer one comes to reaching lightspeed, their MASS increases at a drastic rate. Black Swan is already hyper-dense, and thus has a much higher mass than something her size would normally have, I think. Her going relativistic speeds would probably get her mass to the point it might momentarily rival an actual star. Which would also involve an ENORMOUS increase in the physical force hitting Scarlet Maturity.

I don't think he's adapting in the way say Berzerker Hercules from Fate or Mahoraga from JJK adapts to damage. We know he's smarter than he lets on, so I wouldn't be surprised if his adaptation is just him learning how exactly X type of damage with Y magnitude on Z location disassembles the molecules in his body, and then reattaching them the moment they break according to a preprepared pattern.
It's not a new power. Just extremely precise and clever use of his tactile kinesis.
It would explain how he won against Apiary who converts matter into more of herself, and possibly even survive getting hit with Goldnine during the Movement.

Specifically, I helped with Opale's flashback scenes. I'm really happy they turned out so well!

Relativistic-speed flight is such a BS power of absurd destructive potential. And on top of that, BS has an insanely dense core, too. So I really want to see an attack at Sufficent Velocity.

Yeah, there were some flaws with this plan such that I could give a bonus on the HIT check.
No traps! But in scene I desperately want to write and I'm not above rewarding the thread for letting me write it!
No, that's the weird part. Aside from its core that crashed, the rest of it burned completely.

I'll be back with my analysis later, but I can say that in all honesty, Opale is one of my new favorite characters, Seeing the "You are Ophale" thing really felt like seeing the end of a character arc.
...it's been three chapters. Am I that invested in this quest? Goddamn, pretty much everything about this Quest is telling me to step up my game. Nothing wrong with that, I just realized that I gotta get better at worldbuilding and teasing my readerbase.

Naw, the reentry heat vaporised it.

An odd question occurs to me. As much of an utter bastard as Scarlet Maturity is, his power is actually insanely useful. Judging from Ete and Printemps, he basically gives you a new Keyword on your power. If we ever face another Movement level catastrophe, he could use his ability to enhance Black Swan and other high power Heroes to oppose the threat. He even would get something out of it himself too, given he gets stronger every time he uses his original power. Course, the question is - how desperate would SM need to be to consider buffing other heroes who don't work for him? Apparently, the Movement wasn't enough, which is immensely concerning.
...wait 🤔. Is the scene you want to see the space fight or...?

Even ignoring the site name for a moment, even ignoring this theoretically having a chance to buy time for disengagement, or regeneration helping Black Swan take more missions easier.
The extra speed would make her harder to hit, could hit faster in a major way, etc. But those don't matter to me. I'm a simple person, I want to read Black Swan splitting the view of space like she's a fast moving star.
