>Final reconstruction - Hestia is loathe to leave a job half done, so she is finishing up rebuilding the city above to her standards. The strange lights and swarm of robots is more familiar now so excitement is spreading among the lower floors as people wait to see what is being built. 18.45% complete.


Hestia’s reports while she is busy constructing massive cities as usual are short and to the point. With the people moved out of the areas to be reconstructed and installation complete for the devices to alter the flow of time it shouldn’t take much longer now for the construction drones to finish their jobs.


“So are we going to fight more here or do you want to explore different places?” Ayla asks and flows of mana wrap around her body as she prepares to help however she can.

You mentioned we could do shit there now.

10000 mana Magic Missile.
because I want to see what over 1 million magic missiles look like.

>>43965029
Okay. Here's the plan.
Get a carnivorous plant seed. Use domain to modify it so that it can be planted in living enemies by the plants, and that doing so causes the plant to evolve with traits of theirs.
Then, modify the seed to be loyal to us and anyone aligned with us.
Then, modify them to have greater intelligence to at least be capable of using tactics.
Lastly, modify them to be far stronger than they normally are.

Good. Now plant this seed and watch as it reproduces rapidly with the dead bodies. For optimal results quickly, plant multiple seeds at once.

We get the souls, because they count as follower.

>>43965259
>he thinks the dragon won't steal all of the souls

>>43965261
He need placated anyways, we aren't nearly strong enough to gank him yet. Besides, he can't take what we already use up. Just give him a minor amount of the haul while we grow in power exponentially faster than him.

>>43965287
>feeding an evil dragon souls

>>43965304
Do you WANT him to get pissed off and murder everyone, including us?

>>43965029
Drain souls from everything around us.

Do you want him to grow exponentially stronger so we'll never match his strength?

>>43965355
Dragons have slow as fuck growth.
Proto dragons are only fearsome because of how long they've been around.

>>43965373
Are you honestly so arrogant as to think we can ever compare to the proto dragon, while we are literally feeding him souls?

I think just blowing things up is the slim favored action

“Well shall we start by clearing out these demons closest to us?” You offer to Ayla.

“Okay~” Ayla cheerfully generates a few Spheres of annihilation, targeted at the nearby scorpion demons, “I’ll go first then master!”

Then she replicates the spell, widening the scope of destruction to well over ten thousand spheres. The horror for the demons doesn’t end there though, the mana around Ayla shimmers for a moment as copies of the spheres wink into existence. Then entire battlefield is dead quiet as yet another surge of power emanates outward, this time from Ayla’s crown. The aetheric power of the crown causes Ayla’s spell to multiply again, the result is a swarm of well over a hundred thousand spheres of annihilation. Ayla seems shocked and looks to you for an explanation, but all you can do is shrug in confusion yourself.


Not letting the opportunity go to waste, Ayla rains the spheres down upon the demon armies. Explosions of magical might tear across the corpse strewn battlefield, ending the lives out countless demons.


>361


After Ayla’s devastating attack there isn’t much left for you to do at all, the few survivors from the explosions are so weak that as you walk through the battle field you feel like death incarnate as you tear souls from their crippled forms. A massive demon isn’t pleased with what just happened and launches a stream of foul green hellfire at Ayla directly.

The very nature of the foul hellfire burns away at your domain, but thankfully since you didn’t have much to do after Ayla’s attack you are able to focus on defending against the hellfire attack and successfully protect Ayla from it. You quickly reestablish the full strength of the domain but the demon is still a threat if it can make attacks of that level.


The demon’s gaze upon you is filled with killing intent and the three hell deeds you already own vibrate with anticipation, could this demon be the true lord here?


It raises it four arms up towards the sky and new armies of scorpion riders, massive golems, and winged demons tear free from the corpses. Each one of these new arrivals all have one target – you.

Test how strong he is then teleport to a room Hestia has prepared then use deific blast to kill the lord. I want to figure out just where these Hell Deeds pop up from.

Perhaps important meta information, feel free to ignore:

Ayla just maxed all her rolls out just like when you encountered the first lord. The lord of war here was not originally going to come out this fast. Also you just got 10166 soul charges thanks to Ayla’s attack and she killed the ambushes that were in place.

>>43965962
hahahahahaha

>>43965962
Reminder that ayla has the best luck ever

>>43966159
Seconding

It was suggested to use powers of 10 to test the demon lord’s strength, is that good or should we use more or less mana?

>>43966288
powers of ten should be fine. start at 1.

“Keep the armies of demons busy, I’ll engage the main threat,” you tell Ayla.


She nods and calls forth her own armies of elementals, before you’ve seen her playing around with this power of hers but now it’s on an entirely different level. Dancing lights, holy orbs and fire join the air itself in opposing the flying demons while on the ground puddles of poisonous ooze dissolve their way towards the enemy supported by quivering masses of sound and gravity.


As Ayla directs her elementals you craft a spell to link up with Hestia to give her a more complete picture of what happens when the lord dies and the hell deed appears. Then you use a minuscule amount of mana to activate your power to destroy the lord.


>374


The blast originates directly above the demon smiting it without mercy, you see flashes of light from the demon’s jewelry as pieces explode, their protective enchantments failing against the might of your power. The demon manages to get away unscathed by sacrificing two arms and all his protections and he looks furious.


Ayla’s battle is going much easier, her summoned light and holy elementals are unmatched against the demons in aerial combat. The demonic ground forces are forced to climb over the melting corpses of their allies as Ayla’s oozes advance unceasingly.


The mere moments it took to examine Ayla’s progress you see the demon lord’s arms regrowing. In its anger at your attack hurting it, it launches another even more massive gout of green hellfire at you. You counter by funneling ten times as much mana into your deific power and meet the attack head on. You can feel the hellfire burning away at your attack the foul green flames seem to hold some sort of anti-deific property, no doubt enough to scour away any unfortunate holy beings that were to encounter it.

Your strength is greater than the demon lord however and the hellfire and the other half of the demon lord is blasted apart. Not enough to kill the creature still you see as it rapidly regenerates from anything short of death.


You have to smite the demon one last time it seems and a burst of even stronger energy falls down from above on the demon lord. It tries to burn its way to safety with its foul hellfire to no avail. The demon is blasted with the might of your power destroying it once and for all.


“Fledgling meddler, your presence is no longer tolerated,” a dry raspy voice shakes reality itself as your kill the demon lord.


A unholy energy pulls the demon lord’s soul orb into the air as the sky itself is torn asunder. Reality itself rips as a fearsome visage of death incarnate peers through from another reality. Black light covers this circle of hell, you can feel your domain struggling under the weight of the evil power before you. It feels like the light itself is draining your power away, your bond with Ayla pulls your strength at an equal rate as your power protects her from the soul draining evil.


>Warning soul charges will be rapidly lost due to this environmental hazard


The demon lord’s soul orb shatters the energy within reforms into a new body, its pale skin and unholy aura makes it clear that it is some sort of horribly powerful undead creature. You can feel your spell is active, collecting data on not only the lord but also the strange oppressive aura originating from the massive evil being that has just arrived. You see that everything here in this hellish battlefield is now dead with the exception of you and Ayla, their lives extinguished in an instant under the unholy black light, even Ayla’s elements are unable to withstand the force.

It doesn't have to be temporary anon

>>43967085
Fuck everything up with massive blasts!

>>43967106
Speaking of luck I have been thinking about this, instead of a billion rerolls that just waste everyone’s time; how does this sound as a better replacement for the luck bonus –

First four rolls are taken, two loot rolls, two reroll per thread plus an additional one exclusively for loot and once per thread you can choose to take a critical success and receive the results as if rolling perfectly.

I think this effectively solves the issue and still allows you to skew things thin your favor now and then.

>>43967200
Sure!
Id like to use the crit now.

>>43967200
>depowering us while acting like its a good thing

cry some more faggot. I don't mind some balancing to not make us able to reroll over 100 times per thread.

>>43967305
>yes apop pls fuck me in the ass while still throwing exponentially harder encounters at me
Nigger did you forget we have to fight a proto dragon at somepoint?

>>43967305
Hmm...
What about using that tier system, but for amount of crits we can use?
100 is one, 1000 is two, 10000 is three, etc.

>>43967320
>waah waah I don't want things to be fair
we haven't even used those rerolls that much. switching them to guaranteed crit once per thread while still maintaining two rerolls is more than fine.

>>43967332
If you can think of something better that limits reroll insanity it works for me as well.

Or just stick with what we’ve got doesn’t bother me either way, since as your dice improves the chances of rolling high go way down.

>>43967390
>fair
>one crit per thread
also
>implying alq was ever fair

>>43967412
I like the crit amount tier system.

>>43967412
your idea works well enough.

>>43967412
I'm clearly outnumbered by the current system is objectively best suck my wing wang

>>43967425
I like the tiered idea too, but I’d need to make bonuses for all the stats if we want to do that
baka desu senpai


>>43967459
I'm in no rush to change things, we can digest suggestions and get back to the story for now.

>>43967482
Well, let's handle it one at a time, eh?

Ayla’s crown glows as it tries to shield her form the negative effects of the vile black light, but you can still feel your gathered power from the souls of the dead being passed into her due to your bond and then ripped out to feed this massive incarnation of death itself. Ayla looks like she is going to be sick, but she resolves to help by keeping the new undead hell lord busy while you think of a solution. Unfortunately right now the only solution you have is to use more firepower.


>368


You drawn on nearly an eighth of all the worship that you have remaining to create the largest energy attack you’ve ever tried to create. As the attack warps the fabric of hell you can feel Ayla wrap around you for safety, drawing on your radiant mana to recharge herself.


The aftershocks alone from the blast of power reflect the undead lord’s hellfire, now the foul green flames burn with an inner pitch black darkness that disintegrates all organic matter that it touches – including the undead lord who gets caught in the reflected flames.


(1/2)

>>43967847
I thought we wanted to do this while full deity form

The energy blast burns off considerably by the time is cuts through the evil light but when it connects it still has more than enough power to blow the massive undead creature’s head to bits. The tears in reality start to seal as the headless body recedes into its own reality. It doesn’t leave you alone however, a deathly scream resounds from the headless figure and portals are torn open all around you.


A cursed smoke rises into the sky from the portals as powerful undead creatures spill through to distract or hopefully kill you.


A bolt of green energy hits your chest, burning a hole effortlessly through Hestia’s enchantments and you feel a brief burning sensations as some unknown horrible poison enters your system. Your elemental nature absorbs the poison without issue but you can tell that whatever that spell was it was incredibly powerful.


>Your status: Unharmed – soul drain
>Ayla Status: Unharmed – soul drain


>Enemy status: Undead entity – retreating, Assorted powerful undead army – preparing spells


Hollow laughter cackles all around you.

“How long has it been since any living thing resisted your poison?” Someone asks in an unrecognizable language, “you’ve gone awfully soft to be called the plague lord.”

Lichs, vampires, spirits and even bone dragons have surrounded you and Ayla, while the sky slowly heals from the extra-planar intrusion.


>Chase the retreating undead entity
>Make sure the undead lord is destroyed
>Attack the new undead arrivals
>Try to control these undead

>>43967905

>Have ayla leave

>>43967905
I can’t read apparently, Do you really want a ‘life’ deific form? I don’t mind adjusting things because I messed that one up.

I thought people were just agreeing with the power usage.

>>43967980
I do, i feel that full deity form would drastically alter the damage we inflicted.

>>43967980
No to deific form.

>>43967909

>Attack the new undead arrivals

Also, reflect any other spells that come our way.

>>43967980
Yes.

>>43967980
I mean kinda, but I worry we'd have a huge weakness against him.

>>43967980
No deity form.

>>43967909
40k worship deific blast centered on plague lord.
Use a maxmana spell to try to control all of the undead.

>>43968059
we're at ~35k worship right now and we could just let Ayla take care of the mooks.

>>43968078
Ah.
35k then.

>>43968078
We permanently have haste, we can do two things effortlessly.

Alright it seems there is slight favor in going deific which I missed before, so I need to know what part of life do you like?
>Living
>Growth
>Change

>>43968148
>Change
You can kill the living and a plague can halt growth, but one cant stop change

>>43968148
>Growth
I still think turning into a "Life" type while fighting an undead arch-lich is incredibly stupid.

>>43968148
I like life's versatility, it's ability to adapt to absolutely anything in order to live on. In the same breath, I like how intimidating it can be - to live, you must kill. And things have become so much deadlier to deal with adapting orey.

>>43968148
change

>>43968204
this

>>43968204
>we become adapt-o-bot
COMPENSATING...

>>43968148
Don't forget to warn Ayla to look away.

>Versatile changing growth


As the undead surround you, you notice that you essentially don’t care they are lifeless husks of what the once were. The remnants of the energy blast you see now is an unbroken growth of plant life that holds open the tear to the undead entity’s reality, but more than that you see it connecting back to you.

No, the plant is you. Your Florakinetic powers resonated with your connection with life as you tried to assume a deific form, causing plant and animal to merge into a perfect union of life. Your roots dig into both the corpses that cover the battlefield and the undead surrounding Ayla. Your growth doesn’t seem to kill them just yet as the black light falls from tear in reality sustaining their unlife against your deific power, you can sense the undead entity weakening as it is forced to expend power to save them. Your growth clogs the undead’s portals blocking their means of pumping the foul smoke through or closing the way.


Your human body stays holding Ayla, your unity through the host bond keeping her save from harm as your power expands. Far more than half of the power you’ve gathered through her magic killing the demon armies was lost by the undead entity sucking away soul power from you and Ayla. So you resolve to chase down this creature and finish it off. Your leaves gain ominous purple swirls on them as you grow into the entity’s realm, you can feel that it is some sort of undead god.

It has been siphoning the power of lost souls in this section of hell to empower itself further, and here in its domain its will is absolute.


Or at least it would be if you were not currently an antithesis to its own power.

>New deific form

Kudzu of Evolution – Your unity with plant life and commitment to versatility and change as resulted in a plant based deific form that rapidly adapts to any environmental stresses. You can generate endless numbers of bodies adapted to fight for your cause. Your technological, psionic, and elemental powers have enabled any form of life to be generated from the main body. With time this form’s mass will increase without end, greatly improving its power. (Basically you are plant zerg)


The now headless entity struggles with vines growing into its reanimated mummified corpse, digestive fluids spray all over when the entity grasps at them in an attempt to pull them loose. But the vines are now separate from you, they are you and before the entity can know what is happening you’ve grown to reconnect the lost segment of your power, you can feel some worship remaining with the vines from your energy blast which you reassimilate.


>Recovered 2000 worship


This reality is foul with the stench of death, but you see that it is very small and you suspect mobile. It is as if the undead entity moves its realm from place to place to steal the souls of the living wherever it can find the most suffering.

Back in hell you can feel your body collecting a hell deed, it seemed to be created from nothing where the soulless undead remains of the lord lay burning from its own hellfire. The black and green hellfire burns your leaves at first but a few moments later not only have you adapted to its unique properties you feel that you can make it yourself.


>Unholy life destroying Anti-Deific hellfire obtained


With everything seemingly under control you can shift your expanding consciousness to check on Ayla, she seems worried that your body has plants growing from it but she is otherwise fine. In fact you feel that with all the possible changes you could make that this form could potentially even be rendered harmless for anyone to be near. There is a deeper yearning for adaptation when you gaze at Ayla, living mana is an aspect that you do not think that you have.

You feel three impulses in this new form - as though a far away voice has spoken your desires.


ADAPT

CONSUME

ASSIMILATE


“This is not going to cause you to lose time for an unknown period of time is it?” Hestia asks you as she interfaces with your mind directly.

“No controlling all these different parts of my body may improve my appreciation for you however,” you tell her as your mind tries to figure out just how operate everything at once.

“Very well, then I will compile the data I assume you sent me regarding the lord, try to stay safe.”


You can feel her real but very dictionary like love through the bond for a moment before Hestia disconnects, your mental state has settled her interest for now. So you return to Ayla.


“Ayla,” your body’s now glowing green eyes open to get her attention, “I feel that I can copy the nature of your being now, please tell me if I accidently hurt you.”

“What? Master why are you a plant?” Ayla seems to know that you are not exactly your body right now since she addressed the mass of plant life where your consciousness if focused.

“I am more than that I am all life,” you let your vines gently wrap around her body and your power feels her nature and adapts to mimic her without hurting her in any way. As you do so, your symbiotic nature with Ayla’s soul prompts your plants to form a new body, the vines and leaves twist into the shape of a horribly mutated goblin. The horror on Ayla’s face is palpable, no wait that is just her about to explode from cuteness overload.


The strange asexual goblin is some sort of three-way fusion between goblin, plant, and phoenix. It sort of reminds you of a green harpy. Ayla spins the poor thing around and entertains herself by petting the new creature since its hair and feathers are replaced by soft leaves this entertains Ayla greatly. You sense one the creature is also that it is made from mana as well, a living mana plant phoenix goblin.


(1/3)

Hopefully it survives Hestia studying what it is long enough to make more of itself because the green flames it emits seem interesting.


>Living mana bodies can now be generated


In the entity’s realm you feel that your worship fueled attack, plus the opposite nature you hold are quickly overwhelming the entity. Your vines bore holes into its desiccated form without issue, you sprout new growths and quickly fully entangle the creature.


Blasts of raw anti-life and thrown at you, but having already adapted to the soul devouring black light the anti-life just makes your leaves tingle. Powerful spells the entity tries to form are interrupted by you absorbing its mana and soon enough you’ve wormed your way into its body. A sickly looking soul orb pulses with deathly energy. You don’t really care however and your roots dig into the orb and start absorbing its power for your own.


Mysterious undead entity soul (Very Strong) choose two:
>Fate Stealer modification

(3/3)


Back with the Undead, with your roots in their bodies and the black light dimming slowly you can feel their power beginning to falter and their bodies breaking down. Their patron is dead so you give them a chance and unleash magical might against them, whatever resistances they had against being controlled don’t work with their bodies being invaded. You lose a few of the unimportant lesser undead as the severance of the connection with the undead entity renders their defenses against your deific might null. It only takes the loss of a few death knights before you manage to adapt to not needlessly radiate deific power into your surroundings. Applying the opposite principle should allow you to destroy those you want to later.


>Deific aura attack now available


Your roots slowly release the now controlled undead letting them wander about freely while you digest their former patron’s soul.

Using the same lazy set up as before here is an update, the three now look something like this. Absorbing the undead guy improved all the different form’s potential by quite a bit. The largest benefit is that cosmic dragon now has a strength score so you can interact physically and not gamble on unknowable effects happening.

Cosmic dragon
Strength: 5,000
Constitution: 50,000

Dexterity: 40,000
Intelligence: 10,000
Willpower: infinte
Ki: 100,000
Luck: 20,000
Aura of Nullification prevents all harmful effects
Aura of Cancelation removes spell and spell life effects
Aura of Hindrance prevents draining effects


Kudzu of Evolution

Willpower: 100,000
Ki: 150,000

>>43970223
Those will be shared with all the deific forms but the other two can’t generate bodies in the first place. I’m sure you’ll figure out a way to use it eventually.
Since you can already use hell fire, you can use the new special hellfire without being deific as well, similar to the blue freezing hellfire.

>>43970392

Does having a non-zero dexterity on Cosmic Dragon form help us not let weeks go by in a flash?

>>43970392
Is kudzu permanently adapted to things previously adapted to?

>>43970451

>>43970469
Yes, anything you absorb or adapt to will remain forever, unless you need to adapt to not have it for some reason.

Any of the Merfolk luck enough to be in the third layer while this all happened?

>>43970535
Most of them barring some scouts.

>Soul absorption effects


Fate Stealer modification
You have gained the ability to release Black light which absorbs the souls of all that it touches. Undead creatures are not affected by the soul draining but allies are, undead will be empowered by the light instead.

Deific domain modification
You are now able to move your realm and absorb other abandoned realms into.

Unlife connection: Rank MAX
By absorbing the undead entity’s soul you have assimilated its connection with the undead. This ability triples the effect of necromantic spells you cast. You can now passively sense unlife, including that which tries to hide its presence. Your connection to unlife protects you from draining effects. The effect of your own draining abilities are tripled.


Undeath worship improvement
Passive effect. Undead creatures will be more drawn to accepting you as a possible thing to worship. They will also generate more worship.


>Worship + 5,162,971


>>43970535
They are still in their frozen puddle and not being blasted by deific power.

With the undead entity's power absorbed into your power entirely you look into its tiny death stained realm and get the feeling that you could absorb it into your own realm if you so desired.

>Do it

Your roots spread deeper and deeper into the corpses and your plant body slowly grows to cover the battlefield. With more time you could envelop everything.

This realm still stinks with the scent of death, but it offers a free chance to absorb more territory without expending much power yourself. Your realm absorbs it without much fuss, but you feel that the stench of death is going to be all over your leaves for ages. You probably also have to organize whatever was in there later too. It looked like a normal enough empty sector of space with a planet, but you never know what some old undead thing made.


“How are you two doing?” You check back in on Ayla who is now taking pieces of your vines to make jewelry for the phoenix goblin.

“Wes good king!” the goblin tells you.

“Yup~” Ayla beams happily, “Do you need more help out there?”

“The big one was taken care of, now I just need to expand my influence a bit,” you tell her.

“Okay I’ll be waiting here,” Ayla tells you, she is distracted by the new goblin and doesn’t seem want to help right now.


Your body begins to grow, you quickly mark out the area that the merfolk froze as a place to envelop so that they can unfreeze and talk to you. Then you send vines into the portals that the undead came through.

“Is there anything on the other side of these portals that I should be cautious about?” You ask a lich lord at random.

“The living rot and die within our realm of death,” it tells you.

Not very helpful, but you make your body grow bone over it to protect it while it adapts to the oppressive nature of the realm of death. The landscape is barren, no life grows in this place at all. Towers rise here and there across the landscape and smoke billows from them. The sky is a dense cloud of evil smoke, blocking out whatever natural weather there once was. There are also skeletons everywhere, entire armies of skeletons trillions strong. They stand unmoving, magic binds the bones together but there is no unlife imparted to them.

“What is with the skeletons?” you ask another one of the undead you converted.

“They stand ready to invade, a simple mass reanimation and the endless armies of the dead will march,” it ominously tells you.


Seems like a lot of work to gather all the skeletons like this but you continue to explore, expanding in all directions. Eventually you find a small village of slightly living people, vampires drain their blood uncaring if any die. Corpses are thrown down a central pit where the sound of crunching bone can be heard rising from the darkness. Ghouls, and not the djinn kind, sit in the pit consuming flesh and cracking open bones to suck out the marrow.


Your vines infiltrate the village and quickly grasp and control all the undead, while the few living look on with surprise and a glimmer of hope. They are too sickly and terrified to do anything more than stare at your strange bone armored vines.


Back in hell the corpses are fertilizer to your new plant body, roots just dig in and away you grow. In a few hours you’ve reached some structures made from a paste of bone and saliva, the dig deep into the corpse strewn battlefield. You see the insectoid creatures that attacked your outpost in the second layer of hell moving between six of the seven hives.

You also stumble upon a strange bone machine that is collecting bones to attach to itself. It seems to be harvesting bones to improve itself, it operates without a will of its own as if it was a robot. You sense no unlife in the machine, someone just wanted to build a bone robot it seems.

Maybe we're more vulnerable to fire, or attacks that specifically affect plantlife, other than that no, this is pretty cool, do we want to start spreading this form to the other 3 layers of hell we've conquered? I imagine we can make a landmass in the 3rd layer with this form for the mer folk.

The terror in the nearly dead people’s eyes is self-evident as your vines release the undead and instead constrict them. The evil smoke the clouds the sky has done a number on them and they are all ready to succumb to death, you do however manage to save a few dozen of them. It takes just a moment to heal them and send them off to goblin city. Hestia will probably pick them up and handle things from here, she always does take good care of everything.


Then your boney vines slowly explore the barren landscape, encountering even more stationary skeletons. They are just left all over the place, truly massive armies. You also slowly thin the bone on your vines as the exploration goes on, the connection with unlife helps to adapt fairly quickly, and soon enough for the first time in an unknowable amount of time green plants grow everywhere. You follow the evil smoke in the air, looking for the densest part of the cloud where the intelligent undead should be congregating. As luck would have it you find a large fortified castle where undead march in their endless protective patrols.


The bone machine is quite interesting, it truly is a robot made from bone. It performs a set range of actions as it slowly builds itself larger and larger. You use some magic on the machine to make it move faster and watch as it quickly collects bones form the corpses surrounding it in the battle field of hell. It doesn’t do anything else however it just moves around collecting bones, more and more bones. Sometimes it finds a particular bone that it seems to like despite the fleshy corpse it is attached to and so it strips the flesh from the bone before collecting it. Fascinating, Hestia will probably like it so you teleport it to her too.

The insects in the meanwhile have noticed your approach, but are rather confused as to why there is a massive growth of plants here all of a sudden, in the history of the hives never has such a thing been seen before. You try to get closer to the demons but they don’t seem to like this and they attack your vines to no avail. As they start to panic from the invasion of indestructible plants you start to communicate with them, you try various pheromones, color patterns and even waving the vines around as an interpretive dance. It takes several hours to get the insect demons to figure out that you are talking to them then they bring out a smaller colorful insect with an enlarged cranium.


“The Hives greet the plants,” it communicates to you via a variety of signals, almost a mimicry of the means you were using to try to speak to them.


Then as you are about to talk to the insects, far away the ice from the merfolk’s puddle shatters and melts. Aquatic demons and creatures spill out from their watery home with great caution, they are unsure what to do with the massive plant body that has consumed everything.

While you let your fantastic plant body spread all across the barren landscape engulfing evermore skeletons you are careful to maintain just enough distance so that the undead patrols don’t notice that anything is amiss. The good news is that the undead on patrol are clearly mindless and to top it off you feel fully adapted to their horrible evil smoke so now whatever the smoke is, is helping you grow even faster than before.


“Ayla,” You return your focus to Ayla and the goblin, surely after hours alone she is bored. No, she is still just playing around the goblin and it looks like it may be traumatized for life soon though, “Would you like to come talk to the merfolk with me?”

“Fish people?” Ayla pretends to think for a second, “Yes I want to go!”


“I’ll meet you there,” you tell her as you open your vines to let Ayla go to the Merfolk.


“Okay?” Ayla seems puzzled but she goes along with you and floats away to meet them.


It is simple enough to sprout a new human body for the merfolk to interact with, you have to grow some plant based clothing to adorn it, but otherwise it works out just fine despite frightening the melfork.

“Hello I’m sure that you know that I am Gareth, I desire to speak with your king,” you tell the merfolk.

“You are the one who took our next leader,” the merfolk are angry with you and you soon have hundreds of spears and spells pointed in your direction.


“What? Master you can make a new body?” Ayla is surprised as she arrives at that moment, seemingly uncaring that the merfolk are hostile.


“ENOUGH!” A voice rages from the depths and merfolk scatter as they try to get out of the way of their massive leader.


“Wow big!” Ayla proclaims as he rises from the depths.

Simultaneously the insects get introduced to you, by you, as plants.

“I am Gareth the Goblin King,” you explain to the insect.

“We are the hives,” the insect tells you again.

“What can you tell me about the hives?” You ask.

“Hives were alone, but no longer,” the insect tells you.


It takes the insect a while to explain things to you, from their perspective there is, rather was, no other sapient life anywhere that the hives have traveled. The hives are most excited for first contact, they are currently in mourning over the loss of a hive queen, the seven hives are but six until a new queen matures. You manage to gather from both their information and psychicly probing around yourself that the hives are a hive mind or sorts but the individuals have some degree of autonomy and individuality. Their technology is behind Hestia’s but it is rather unique and interesting, so you suspect that even if you don’t learn much she would still be interested in it.


“What is that?” A powerful wraith rises from the ground in front of the undead castle and asks upon seeing you growing everywhere.

The undead patrols freeze and their heads rotate towards the nearest patch of you.


Looks like you are in for some trouble now.

Super Science: Rank MAX
This ability enables you to use science to use and manipulate technology in incredible ways. Each rank in this ability adds +10 to all 'science' rolls. Magical phenomena can now be easily quantified and reliably recreated. Seemingly ordinary objects can be combined to create supernaturally augmented things. At this rank you are able to break the laws of physics to receive the results you want, astounding!

Biokinesis: Rank MAX
This ability enables you to have control over all forms of life, free to modify or manipulate it in any way. Your commitment to plant life makes plants love you and enables plants below the threshold of sapience to worship you. You can now request plants to grow special items for you, if you raise your intimacy with the plants unique things may be able to be obtained. Manipulating you own body will never cause damage to you; this effect also renders you immune to addictions. Your connection to life makes this ability much stronger than it otherwise would be.


>Abilities absorbed by Ascendency
Unlife connection
Death howl


>Changes
Within realm and/or domain life and unlife are able to be freely manipulated, true resurrection remains beyond your grasp for now, however Lazarus serum effectiveness can be effectively brought to 100%.

Evangeline is blessing us here, 777.
Let's do it.

>>43976711
Supporting:
>>43976777

>>43976711

Supreme Badass to rank 10, and next form to rank 10 as well if possible
Bone Carapace to rank 10
Tentacle Generation to rank 10
Blessing (?) of Nathair Sgiathach to rank 10
Deific Blast to rank 30

3777 exp left.

>>43976711
What did death howl become in ascendency?

>>43976851
support, but add
Geo-spatial intuition: Rank 10 (200xp)
I don't think we want to convert any of our xp into stat points

>>43976882

I think all to max rank is reasonable, but we need that clause about maxing out supreme badass' next form if there is one.

It folds into the other half of manipulation of life you were missing, the taking of it. So instead of needing to drain the life from things you can just have them die.

Hey, so.
I would like to check to make sure (and if we haven't to immediately rectify it) that the following goblins are Converted to paladinship:
Zub
Japanese gobolin

I would also like to ask, How much worship would it take to convert
2 Psionic companies
6 monk companies
4 Druid companies

So guys, when we are done with 4th level of hell shenanigans, I say we work on getting Reggie an awesome artifact.

I think we should do this by entering a gestalt with the goblin shamans.

This is an excellent opportunity for such a plan, because we also have Phoenix Goblins and the Kingship Amulet to meditate over. If we contemplate the nature of our various abilities that generate items as well, we have a great chance at landing something rivaling what we have given Ayla and Nana.

It would also be a perfect chance to use that crit that apo mentioned is a possibility. Our dice are going up to 14d38 as well, so we are getting an insane boost to our rolls. Now is the time.

>>43977086

It would be roughly 90,000, which you have enough even after >>43974805

>>43977121
Well, I was actually going to suggest, next thread, that we gestalt with hestia to get all the research and the construction efforts done ultrafast.

Perhaps we should consider a massive gestalt, with the shamans, with the girls...maybe even all of our current worshippers? Who knows what glorious effects it could have.

We should play it safe, though. First, gestalt with just hestia. Then add one more. And one more. When the companions are gestalted, then we try multiples - all the shamans at once. Then we move on to greater and greater quantities to fully complete a massive, mega-gestalt.

>>43977168
Excellent, I support the anon's suggestion of converting those groups then.

>>43977187

I suggested the Shamans in particular because of the developments that are relevant to goblins. Those being the phoenix goblin, and to a lesser extent, the Kingship amulet.

I am all for Hestia joining into the gestalt, in particular, perhaps nana and ayla too.

Since my primary plan is to get Reggie a truly tremendous artifact, I think it would be best to keep our gestalt to just those that have relevant skills, principal among them being Hestia.

>>43977237
Aurora would be wise, then.
The lizard has innate gestalt skills that might solidify it a bit more.
Izulu has some mysterious titan powers...they might be of use, plus holy spirit beast man.
Evangeline's luck could be critical to really nailing it down to be absolutely perfect.
Tslah has some pretty valuable demonic knowledge, and that Lord's Empowerment shit.

So pretty much all the companions except the twins would be particularly useful here,

But leaving them out would be mean, and who knows, they could surprise us.

>>43977277

Keep in mind that every person you add makes the whole thing more difficult to organize.

Are you suggesting that faith would help the gestalt somehow?
Lizard does have gestalting skills... with lizards, but gestalting nonetheless.
I fail to see how Izulu's titan powers help craft artifacts
The point about Evangeline may be your best one, luck+probability manipulation are a powerful combination
Tslah... is OK I guess, definitely not up to the standards that Hestia/Ayla/Nana set for artifact help.

I would prefer to keep it a little more tight knit, but whatever gets the plan moving.

>>43977363
Her faith has guided us before, with the cube of protection.
It might guide our deific abilities into being more refined.

can we activate the oxygen in everyone's muscles now

I wonder if apophis is still around.
I suppose I could always look at the results tomorrow, but...
My curiosity is too massive.

>>43977597
Guess he'll post them tomorrow, then. Oh well!
