You play as Zou-Do-Shai, personal bodyguard to the 6th Princess of the Dershwa Clan, and a Teleship Lieutenant for the Dershwa State military. Last time you came back from your trip, to find work was being done to prepare for the attack by the Moon. You then found out the Mama of the orphanage died soon earlier. You were invited to the funeral, and upon request from Jiang, you invited her too. Soon after you got the Angel of Death God Tier Set, which utilises your Saint Element to buff your own or another's stats immensely. You saw a few people again and a day before the funeral the City was attacked by the Moon! Dershwa City managed to defend themselves and damage the Destruction Element cannon.
You attended the funeral, at which point more invaders, this time radical beastmen tried to invade, you, Jiang and the Hunters killed them all. You also encountered YianEyue, who awoke as a Heavenly Jewel Master after a botched attempt to perform a sacrificial ritual on the corpses of her brethren to become closer to her heritage. You have sent her away with the Alpha of the Dragon Tribe for training and safety. However, he killed you after you managed to insult him. Once you came back and he left with surprise, you were then met by Demon Hammer, who has allowed you a small Q&A with him.

>Writing for the questions from last thread, next post.

"When you gave me that energy, did you know I would awaken with the Saint Element?"

"No. Show me your Jewels boy."

You summon them. He doesn't recoil, however, you start to feel a slight burning sensation across your entire body.

"Heavenly Jewel Master? You must have a special bloodline. No matter. I will have to spend some time learning about this sensation. I feel incredibly uncomfortable."

You have to strain your neck to look up at him. If anything you feel uncomfortable.

"I was awakened as a Heavenly Jewel Master by a medicine, my Icy Jade Jewels came with that. Does everyone in power have Icy Jade?"

"No, but it is more common than one might think. I mean, Strength is the easiest to demonstrate, with Endurance or Stamina, you have to get hit, which for most people is just embarrassing. The ruler of Sunrise Island doesn't have Strength I don't think, the leaders of the beast tribes, well most of them, some other places...it's just how things work. Don't worry about it, none will stand up to me."

"Is it due to your Element? If Saint is going to turn me into an angelic embodiment does that mean you are a demonic embodiment?"

"I mean, it does make me strong. Basically I have an alternate, inhuman form which makes all of my Physical stats stronger, and I am a bit mean to people, but I only get bad when I have a good reason to. Long and I think that in a fight, I could beat anybody on this planet with that form. Later I think I will try and explain how different the Evil Element is. I don't know about your Saint Element, you're the first I've seen with more than one Jewel."

"I heard Demonic Element users have unique skills, including transformations? Can you transform into a Demon?"

"Fine. Curiosity is good. I have not chosen any of my Skills. They came already stored when I awakened my Jewels. They are all good, but I would like to have had some choice. The Skill in my 12th Jewel is called 'Gift', twelve stars. It cannot be used on me. It gives a gift to the person I used it on. I don't know what yours is, but it could be shit or be good. It varies."

"What were you doing in the woods anyway?"

"Out for a walk. I needed a break from politics and a nice calm walk was a good choice. You aren't complaining about being alive are you?"

"No. It's just it made no sense for a Heavenly Jewel Master to be wondering in a weak part of the Cursed Forest."

"Hah! Wind Wolves are not weak! They have some of the greatest potential of all beasts! You just ran into a baby! Those poor men didn't see what was coming! I killed the wolves with my hammer, and went on walking! Demon Hammer. Pretty fancy. I'll show you later."

"So are you my Master now or something? Are you going to teach me stuff?"

"Well, that could be a small problem. You are part of the Dershwa Clan's influence, and Long doesn't want to let you go. So. Yes I am your Master. I gave you life and that gift. However, legally, you are just a student until you decide to leave them. I am an expert in Heavenly Energy Control, and combat. I can also introduce a prude like you to hundreds of beauties! Consider taking a trip to Miller at some time. I want to know more about your Saint Element and how it interacts with my Evil Element."

"R-right. How much do you know about me again?"

"Next to nothing. I saw you yesterday and sensed your cultivation. I had no idea you had come up so high in the world. Tell me, what was your gift? I consider it to be one of three Skills that I regularly use. I don't mind if you don't tell me now, it's normally nothing that impressive, but do tell if you feel comfortable."

"My Stored Skills can evolve and grow, my only Lightning Skill is now twice as powerful, for example."

"Now that's a good one! I think I have some plans already, but I will think on it some more."

It is at this exact moment you get the same sensation of the Dao speaking to you.

"Just a tip, tier 2 Elements are made from a combination of tier 1 Elements, in fact, there are more tier 2 Elements you have yet to see. Following this process, you could mix Elements until you had one which could do the job of all of them."

The sensation ends.

"Well well kid! Do you have any plans for this afternoon?"

"I wanted to do some Heavenly Energy Control practice, you said you were good at it?"

"Yes. Go ahead, I'll give some advice."

You also think of the words in the Guard's book, you don't dare bring it out, but you can use it as a small guide in your head.

"Average Talent, no matter. Kid. I need to go back to Miller, war's a funny business. Last thing, do you have any Evil Element cores?"

"Yeah, 3. Do you want them?"

"Yep."

You hand over the 3 Zun Stage cores. Demon Hammer looks a bit disappointed, but he takes them anyway.

"We're up north. Come visit if you ever need anything."

He leaves in a hurry. What a strange man.

Sorry man you missed the 20 minute mark

>Help with the developing space related research

Welp. You need to do something productive. So you head over to the Elemental Research department and ask around for the latest projects.

"Well you have a choice. We've been working on things like battle suits, smaller mechs, special guns and a place where we have a think tank for countering that red energy, we have a bit of data from it through some stuff in the wall, but not much else to go on. etc etc."

You think this is the best course of action, so you find a small room with about three people. All of them are senior members of the Elemental Research department.

"Hello, sir. How may we help you?"

"I was wondering if you had any idea where I could help with figuring it all out?"

"Do you have any conclusive ideas? What we all know so far is that everything, except for the sands of the Wastelands was erased from existence. We have a sample of it here. However we think that it was due to a malfunctioning cannon that the sand wasn't erased. We had some reports from the brave few that went up there and they said it looked incomplete when they broke it a bit more."

"So what do we do now?"

"Try to replicate its effects, or, if such an...esteemed force such as yourself has any ideas, please contribute them, we are running out of threads to take from."

"Well, thinking in a different way, Nature can be said to be the union of Water and Earth, bringing plants to the world, right?"

"Sure..."

"So what if the Destruction Element is a combination of other Elements?"

"Well, we'll take it into consideration. Thank you for your time."

They kick you out. One of them is a normal person and still took part in kicking you out!

Maybe you need some sleep, dying once today was not fun.

"Zou? It's me Jiang, can I have some training? I think I've come to terms with...that."

Hehehehehe. Get ready for that mess. Maybe a fight later. I have to get ready to go to work now. I'll be back I think for 19:45 pm BST.

"Fei?"

"Yes deary? It's been ever so long since we-"

"Sun-Di is outside my door and asking for a fight, please come quickly."

"Oh dear. I knew she was holding a grudge since the trials, but this...give me a minute! I'll be there in a flash!"

She ends the call.

"WHAT WAS THAT *BANG BANG BANG*?! HOW ARE THESE DOORS SO FUCKING STRONG! I HAVE ICY JADE I AM STRONG ENOUGH TO-"

You then hear the loudest shriek and explosion you have ever heard.

You see both Fei and Jiang standing over an unconscious Sun-Di.

Jiang looks at you.

"What a bitch. Fei what do you suppose we do?"

"I don't know. Restrain her, then we need to ask her some questions, I can make time for that this afternoon if you want?"

"Of course, I'll take her to Jessica. Zou? We'll sort this out. Family matter you know?"

Didn't she want to fight you?

"What about training?"

"This is more important, find something else to do."

>Choice has been cancelled due to Shan-Bai event and Sun-Di event.
>Shan-Bai event now.

You get a call from Jessica.

"ZOU GET TO MY OFFICE NOW SHAN-BAI IS WAKING UP."

Huh. You head over to her office, where you see Jessica, who runs up to you.

"I have people monitoring her and keeping her under but it will not hold. The demon is forcibly breaking my psychic machinery and Shan-Bai's body is breaking. I need you to get in there, and do something to stop her."

"I don't think-"

"I don't care please do something to save my sister. The Saint Element generators are not doing much, the pattern you provided for us was for a Shi Stage Saint Element, so it is having a minimal effect."

You follow her, and are lead to a cryogenic container, tens of people are examining it and doing things to prevent the demon escaping."

"Sure. Running out of time here!"

"I can try and purify the Evil Element beast with a Skill, but this would not bring Shan-Bai back, not yet. It would have the personality of a Saint Element beast, but she would still be possessed. I would have direct control."

"Fine! Anything will do! We just need to make a really good container!"

You use the Skill, a hologram of a holy book appears mid air, then it permeates through the door of the cryogenic chamber.

"HHMMMPH! HHMMMMMPH!"

You hear muffling and screaming for a few minutes. Then, it is over.

"Open the chamber."

You hear the Water Element stop flowing, and the doors open.

The body of Shan-Bai steps out. However, her face is expressionless. Her eyes glow gold, with no sclera. A white ring of light, a halo sits over her head. You see her walk out, and kneel before you.

"I bow before the great one, your message is my light. Praise be to the Saint."

Jessica runs over. Hugging Shan-Bai.

"Sis! Are you OK?"

No response. Shan-Bai looks up at you. She wants orders.

"Jessica. That's not your sister. There is still something possessing her. We need something at the Heavenly King level or above to contain it somewhere else. Then we can...remove it."

You hear her crying.

"Dammit! We were so close. You were a Jewel off!" Where the hell are we going to find a Heavenly King thing like-?"

"I have a plan. We-"

"Wait until I evolve the Skill which allows me to desummon the beings I purify. My skills can grow, you have seen that with Resurrect. I just need maybe 50 Evil Element beasts. I don't know how many it would take. Shan-Bai. Please stay with Jessica until I contact you again."

"Yes Master Zou."

You see the young looking, short Princess stare at you, utter devotion in her entire body. This could be bad.

"Jessica, my work is done, look after her."

"I think I will, follow me."

Shan-Bai follows orders, and follows Jessica.

You think about what to do next.

After that mess, you need to meditate a bit, take a break. So you decide to think about the words spoken by the Dao to you. That many Elements are just mixtures of each other. If that is the case, then could you not mix yours? How far does it go? Can you only mix Elements of the same tier or is it more free? Can you do it?

You think that trying Elements of the same tier would be the best step. You know that the Dao said you had not seen all the stage 2 Elements. This makes things complicated, because they must exist somewhere in the world naturally, but where?

You could try Wind and Water first, but you have no idea what it could make, and you have never had the control to use two Elements at the same time, you have never done it before! You would need a Skill to make two brains exist at the same time. You can't multitask like that. Might as well try though, or ask Fei at a later date.

You need to be better at this, surely there is a way to gain talent in something. Hang on. Demon Hammer can gift people stuff right? If you found a Skill which allowed you to transfer more than just stats, you could help him evolve his Skills! Then he could provide more gifts!

Or you could ask Fei for some help. You don't think there is a limit on whose Elements it has to be.

we could always go rez civilians in the local graveyards if we wanted to grind out more points, btu for war footing we kinda need the mass rez
>>
>>3784855
You're gonna need two rounds for that, as that is two different evolutions. One for the AOE, one for the toggling back to the past single use. It basically means you have 2 Skills in one, so there has to be some difficulty.
>>
>>3784860
can we install the toggle and then the AOE?
>>
>>3784860
Question: do we need Evil Element creatures to train Enlightenment or can we train the skill without a target?
>>
>>3784862
Then you'd have a toggle that does... nothing?
>>
>>3784862
No? There is nothing to toggle to, so, no.
>>
>>3784864
You need a target, as it is the entire point of the Skill. Same with Resurrect.
>>
>>3784846
>>3784850
>>Train a Skill (Rain Arrows)
well seems we kinda screwed ont eh AOE rez toggle given how many points we need for a rez upgrade, so i guess we might as well train up one of our more important combat skills when facing Moon monsters

>Go train Jiang
>>
>>3784874
If you never use the Skill, it will never grow. You are not screwed out, it will just take a little longer. Of all the questions you asked, you never asked if you could just separate people, like, take one at a time out of the pile a far enough distance away to not be in range of Resurrect. It would mean you could only do about 50 per shot, but hey. It's better than nothing.

>Go train Jiang.

After that failure some training is in order. You ask around for Jiang, and they say she is cultivating.

You find her in the same place.

"Hi! Um. Sun-Di's still with Jessica. Apparently she also got another really big job this morning, so she's really busy. How's everything on your end been after...that?"

You realise that she hasn't been told about Shan-Bai and what you did to her.

"Well. This morning, after you and Fei were...dealing with Sun-Di. I was called by Jessica. Shan-Bai was waking up. Bit of a problem, possessed and everything."

"Huh?! Can I go see her?!"

"No. I had to use a Saint Element Skill on her. She is still possessed, but not by an Evil Element beast. A Saint Element one."

"Oh. Wait. What was that for? Why didn't you do anything important."

"I'm not done. The thing is. Said Saint Element beast...is under my direct control. I need a way to move it out of the vessel without damaging-"

Jiang gets up in a flash and punches you in the face.

>You have 100 STA

"Ow."

"So I leave you for a bit. To help you. To help you live instead of being killed by Sun-Di! All for you to brainwash Shan-Bai! Did she call you something special? Treat you like her master! Tell me!"

"Remem-*cough*ber what we said about your temper."

"I'LL CALM DOWN WHEN I WANT TO!"

Right, good point. You see a sphere of Fire forming around her body.

"Let me talk. I can fix this. It was that. Or. Her. Death."

"How do you suppose you fix this, oh great one?"

"I need a strong host. Then I can move the beast out of Shan-Bai-"

"Where is she."

"With Jessica."

"That bitch didn't even tell me! I can't trust you, my sister or my sister!"

"You can trust me dammit! I just need some other Evil Element monsters and I can fix this. I can try to desummon the beast entirely."

"Why can't you do it now?"

"Stored Skill limits. Give me some time."

"Whatever. I'm going to Jessica now."

She leaves.

"What, you have some other bogus excuse? Wanna die?"

"I've told you basically everything! My Skills can grow alright! Demon Hammer gave me the ability to do so!"

"Who?"

"He's kind of like my Master. Prime Minster of Miller City."

"Wow. That must be fun."

She picks up the pace. You try other ways to speak, but you can tell it is just making her more irritated. You both make it to the Elemental Research department.

"WHERE THE HELL IS MY SISTER?!"

"Oh shit! I mean. Princess. Which one?"

"Jessica, the smart one, the one with answers better than this bastards!"

"H-her office!"

He ducks out of the way, where Jiang walks on, you try to and are stopped by him.

"Dude what the hell? Jessica specifically didn't tell her to stop this from happening. Dammit, just go there and suck it up. Use a Life Skill or something."

He lets go, leaving you to face your doom.

You find Jessica and Jiang facing each other. The possessed body of Shan-Bai following Jessica. Papers in her hands. Halo glowing.

"JESSICA! What the hell did Zou do to our sister!"

She runs over and knocks the papers out of Shan-Bai's hands. They fall to the floor. Jessica sees you and looks royally pissed.

"An improvement. I think. Shan-Bai. Please step away. This is a bit dangerous."

"This was not ordered by the enlightened one."

"What?!"

Jiang turns around to you. Grabbing your collar.

"Enlightened one my ass!"

This time, Shan-Bai moves on her own accord. Letting go if the papers.

"Please step away from my Master."

"Oh you what? Master? I own him! He's mine! I am your double Master!"

You think now might be the time to intervene. You can sense something happening to the beast inside Shan-Bai. Something about prime directive. Time to give the beast a name.

There are two different types of Pixiu, a male and a female. The physical difference is seen by their antlers. The one with two antlers is the female of the species and is called a "Bìxié" and the one with one antler is the male of the species and is called a "Tiān lù".[3]

Nice

Not sure on the Etymology of this. Is it just a ploy to get Jiang on your side with an insulting name?

>>3784957
Could also mean "Wind/Air" rather than spirit, could link to your Elements.


My vote is for Arariel, or Angel of the Waters of the Earth. Fits with Shan-Bai's Water Element.

>Not sure on the Etymology of this. Is it just a ploy to get Jiang on your side with an insulting name?

What about Ahura? In Zoroastrianism, it's a class of deities of order opposite to the Daevas, divinities of chaos and disorder.

"Bixie, please back off for now. Just do what she says. She is my boss."

"Yes Master."

You can sense through the bond that the two of you share that the beast, who now thinks of themselves as female, you're not sure why, but you can tell she feels extraordinarily happy.

"Hmmph! What's your big idea? Shimmying up on my turf. Even Zou said I'm his boss."

"I apologise."

It's weird seeing the once demonic girl saying all of this, but you have a plan.

"Jessica. Where can I see some Evil Element beasts to fight?"

"Wastelands. Do not tell me you are going to-"

"I need to! Do you want your sister back or not?"

"She is a good porter...ah hell, I. As the Marshal of the Space Force. Give you one days leave, tomorrow. Use it wisely Lieutenant."

"Oh hang on a second! Somehow now you get to order him about? Why. No-one tells me anything!"

"Consider it punishment for leaving the Palace, a day after an attack. For a...what, a date?"

"A funeral!"

"Yeah right, special dress and everything."

You can see some of the surrounding research staff start fast-walking away, they do not want to be here for this.

"Damn you!"

"I mean, you'll also loose control over him as you become stronger, as the need for bodyguards becomes less and less."

Jiang has no comeback for that.

"Fine! Zou! I'm training with you right here and right now! I'm coming with you tomorrow as well! I want to see this Skill in action."

She summons her staff.

"Endurance training, you'll need it."

A fire needs time to run out of fuel. This seems like the best option.

"Bixie, stay out of the way, this is import-"

"No talking!"

Jessica sits down, Saint box on the wrist and watching it unfold.

She goes to town on you. You survive, but you feel terrible. Jiang looks a lot more calmed down though.

"Phew, that was some good training. Bye Zou! I'll be seeing you tomorrow."

Jiang walks off. Jessica gets up, and just puts her hand on your shoulder.

"That's rough, don't worry, give it some time and she'll be less angry. She's only 14 so I don't think she realises the brevity of the things at stake here. Could you tell Bixie she can trust me as well?"

"Bixie, if Jessica tells you to do something reasonable, treat it like an order."

"Yes Master."

You leave to go to bed. You need a rest.

>You have run out of time!
>Sleep
>Start of the 83rd day

You wake up to Jiang, in full gear, telling you to get up early.

You do so. Using Water to clean yourself. Wind to dry yourself, and Dimensional Swap to get changed.

>Cost Down 3/40

You are lead by Jiang to the top of the Wastelands wall.

"Well then. We will jump off her, or teleport you can probably do that, and get going!"

"You only have 2 sets of Jewels. Who approved this?"

"Keuhum!"

You see Jessica standing behind you, with Bixie in tow.

"If you can fix this today, I want it to be close to you."

Jiang doesn't look pleased.

"Can she even fight? Her body has been in a coma for weeks!"

"Bixie, summon your Jewels."

Ten pairs of Jewels are summoned.

"I will fight to protect you, Master, and Jiang."

"There you go, Heavenly King and a Saint beast, what could be better."

"Sis, why can't you come?"

"Busy with Moon stuff. Bye!"

She disappears in a flash of Light from her Jewels, must be a distraction or something.

You use the glove, but Bixie has to carry Jiang and jump down.

The three of you set out in search of Evil Element beasts.

>72, a bit stronger this time.

You manage to find evidence of weird markings in the sand. Bixie informs you that she can use these to find Evil. Then she starts to dig. Luckily nothing else finds you, but you find a cavern and see an absolutely horrifying sight. Your old cross keeps your mind safe, and Jiang has hers. You see a brood of Blood Red Monkeys, they specialise in convincing someone to drop their weapon. You need some way to get them out.

Why not just use Dimensional Swap?

You Swap the beast and a wet large clump of the grey sand. As soon as it sees your troop, it attacks you. Being the weakest Saint force it recognises.

"What the hell was that?!"

"I need to get in range to use the Skill. Sorry. Not dead."

You don't reset the contingencies, you are doing the maths and you need to conserve Heavenly Energy.

Let's try again.

"Bixie, are you able to use your Saint Element to weaken things?"

"No, Master."

Great.

You summon another one, at this rate, you have 9 shots left at this. You are using Heavenly Energy for both Dimensional Swap and Enlighten every time, with Heavenly Energy for Water. You could get 16 done at max at the moment.

"Jiang, hold him for me."

You can hear their screeching from below, they have realised what you've been doing to their family. Dao be dammed.

"Fuck this, all who want to go back home say Aye. Aye."

"Aye." Jiang responds.

"Master, I believe in you! The Holy Light will convert them if you believe."

You encounter a 5 Jewel Evil Element beast. You see it looks like a fish, but red and bleeding. It can apparently survive with no water.

You do the same trick, and attempt to get near it before it tries to swim away in the sand. It wants to run, sensing your Saint Element and the strength difference. You think it's main ability is for people fishing who will then try to catch it, leading it in much closer for an attack.

"Go on."

"You and Miss Jiang were talking about a way to 'desummon' me. I would like to know what will happen to me?"

"Well, you will be summoned to a special dimension, like the fish will now."

You think for a second, and the Saint Fish which were swimming in the sand below you disappear.

"Then, will I lose my body?"

"I assume so. You are merely in possession of Shan-Bai's body aren't you?"

"Master. This is mine? I do not want to be body-less. Please do not leave me alone with the fish."

"Well, maybe in the future, I can find a body for you, but for now. Please have patience."

"Y-yes Master."

Jiang speaks up.

"What if Shan-Bai's body disappears as well?"

"Then we will have a small problem, I don't think it will become one however."

"Alright."

You all walk home, Bixie's strength keeping the weaker monsters at bay.

When you arrive back to the wall, Jessica is waiting with a medical team, and some supplies.

"Sup. All done?"

"I think so, let's do this."

"Please Master don-!"

Bixie's voice disappears. You can sense 20 spirits, most are quite small, with one incredibly large one. You cannot talk or hear any of them. Perhaps you should give the Fish a collective name, as they will act as a school, not individually. For the first time, there was some emotion. You can care about that later.

Shan-Bai falls unconscious. Jiang and Jessica catch her. You see no evidence of the Halo or glowing eyes. You've done it. Jessica speaks up.

"Alright. I and some others will tend to her. Zou, as you are not a licensed doctor, and neither are you Jiang. Please leave. I happen to have a Doctorate in Medicine. So be off with the both of you. Come back tomorrow. I will assure you she won't die. There are some other problems though. Mainly. This will be the second time of using her body in her entire life of more than 90 years. So I think she's going to have some body coordination problems. Now be gone with you!"

Oh, and my submission for naming the fish is "Shijiu Lian Yu", meaning "Nineteen Silver Carp". if they cultivate enough will they become dragons?
>>
>>3789464
No. They will become serpents if anything. Dragons have wings. Think a glowing holy Leviathan, but 19 of them, and this is all determinate on whether you use them and let them grow. When I have the time I can do a crude drawing of what they might look like. I do want to get better at drawing. It would also give me something to do in the mornings....

New proposal I will try my best to adhere to! I will try and draw something related to the quest in the morning. They will not be the best, or any good, but it will help with giving life to this world.

Can be used to attack small, medium, large, wide, and super-wide areas,can be toggled to make an ice drop for armour piercing rounds, bullets now home, meaning you can hit targets from farther away.

Player Choice for the afternoon LOCKED for your job.

You get a call.

"Zou, buddy. I know you must have been busy with...that, in the past few days, but it would be great if you could turn up for work. Otherwise I'll have to take away some of your salary. We have a report from our acquaintances in Miller that another Pod has landed. I want you to provide air support. You and Shwei-Fa are our only Teleship Pilots. We want an opportunity to try some new tech out, it's a bit rudimentary, bit it can get the job done. Get yourself over here before I teleport you myself."

"Yes Sir."

You are wondering about Shan-Bai, but an attack from the Moon is quite serious. You get your gear on and run over to the hanger.

"Sir, get in quickly. I have everything prepared for take off, do you want to fly or shoot? We have a combined Spatial-Water armament which works by teleporting ice and water inside of the body of the target."

Player Choice
>Take control of the wheel and teleportation mechanisms, this will give you control of which enemies for Shwei-Fa to attack and the control of evacuation manoeuvres. You would roll/choose for the encounter.
>Take control of the weapon's systems, this would mean you would be responsible for attacking directly, however not for the encounter roll or evacuation, I would do that. The Cannon has the strength of a 6 Jewel Elemental Master, with a 1d7560 per attack. For the first 10 attacks the cost is free, but afterwards, it will cost 100 HE of your own HE to use. The same rule applies to Shwei-Fa, who has a Heavenly Energy level of 4 being an Elemental Jewel Master.

>Take control of the wheel and teleportation mechanisms
>For reference. Shwei-Fa has 140 HE.

The two of you get in your respective seats and get ready to go. The coordinates are set and you teleport the ship and put it into hover mode.

When you check your view. You see a massive battle happening to the east of the country, a force even larger than the one which attacked Dershwa.

You can see about 8 beasts which are very large, metal slimey behemoths, all walking on two legs. Then maybe 40 medium size humanoids, and a few hundred weaker ones. It's hard to tell which target to go for first at this height. You can tell You'll just have to shoot and hope you hit something.

Forget snipe you have homing abilities. However, to attack with them, you would need to stop piloting and expose the internals of the ship to the cold low pressure environment of this height. Whilst you are partially resistant to the cold, your copilot is not. If either of you die, then the ships isn't actually flyable. It needs separate Spatial Element to to different tasks, after all, who says the spare Heavenly Energy for fuel and attacking is on the ship itself?

I mean yeah, but they haven't been able to copy any stage 3 Elements yet, only stage 2 and below. Not only that thanks to the Destruction Element, if something like that were here, then your Skill use would be destroyed by it, rendering it ineffective.

>You shoot at the Chaos beast.

You see now that the vast majority of the troops have the Destruction Element on all their bodies, but not one of them. You see Shwei-Fa fire at this one, and it does minor damage. You see that parts of his body are phasing in and out each other, some parts disappear. The people he touches start to rip themselves apart. It's terrifying! You know that these things copy Elements, which one is he? He has the erratic nature and spread of Wind, but his body flows like Water. What on earth?

You see that the attack didn't really phase him. You feel like if you want to have a good impact, you need to kill one of the behemoths.

"Sir! Due to the presence of the Lightning and Wind giants I suggest we remain at this height, it will give us less choice of target, but we will be out of range of attack."

"Thank you Officer. I'll take your advice."

Just as Shwei-Fa is about to fire. You get that odd sensation again of the Dao0 However, it does not look like an old man, but a very young, and crazy looking one.

"HELLO. YOUR TIP IS THAT DESTRUCTION ENERGY IS UNIQUE TO ONE PERSON, YOU CAN'T MAKE IT BUCKO! BYBYE!"

You snap back to attention. You see that the massive pillar flame and metal is a lot smaller, and the other soldiers start to converge on it. However, you can see the other behemoths working. This is a pivotal part of the battle.

You see something happening. The destruction Element around almost all of the Behemoths starts to activate in a way you've never seen before! You see it start to eat at the metal. Erasing the flesh, until nothing remains of the beast. Even all the way up here. You can hear their almost human-like screams. What the hell.

The soldiers mainly ignore that. They keep attacking the Fire Behemoth until it dies.

"Sir! The-the wispy one's still alive and it's running away! After it!"

As you take control, you use a lot of Heavenly Energy to chase after it. You are now low down enough to attack with something of your own.

"Officer! Take the controls! I can do more damage to it by my own attacks at this range!"

You get out of your seat, open the doors, and consider your options as the massive glitch runs to his Pod as fast as he can. You do not know what he can do.

You are severely over-killing this thing if you do this. You have yourself a maximum attack in the Heavenly God range....this means the world will be permanently scarred by this, be warned, your Master may get a antsy with that fact.

also when i wrote leave 1000 HE in the tank i meant that after boosting lets down and we aint fighting we have at least 1000 HE left so we can TP home

>>3791615
Well. Tping back home takes a full third of your current HE total. So...yeah, think like 50 HE per mile? This place is roughly 300 miles away from Dershwa. Then there's some efficiency to lower the cost. All good stuff.

Rule of Wuxia #1: There is no such thing as a power range, there is only the top, and you.

>>3791613

>You win!

You start using the Skill, silver light emanating from you as thousands of ice drops form and shot out around you. You see the beast shatter, and a massive ravine starts forming in the desert surrounding the Country. It starts to fill up with Ice. Until a blue and white streak can be visible from space.

You get back in the seat.

"I'm taking us back home. Don't tell anyone that was me. the King is probably going to give me hell and back for that. I probably just changed the weather permanently back there."

"Yes Sir..can you tell me how I can do something like that?"

"Cultivate, and get 12 Star Spatial Skills. That's a good start."

"Can I have help with cultivating?"

"Sure. I need a break though. So nothing now."

You teleport the ship back home. You feel no Heavenly Energy in you until your technique helps you start to recover it. However. You can feel it is slightly slower, the Destruction Element used in the first attack and this one has actually lowered the Heavenly Energy in the atmosphere to cause an impact.

You get out. Change the normal way, and get think about you want to do in the evening. Shwei-Fa goes off somewhere else in the Elemental Research department.

"Yes! She's awake! She's mentally fine, but is having trouble learning how to use her body, she can't really speak properly either. It turns out with all the power of a Heavenly King, she can't use or control any of it. So see me first and I give you some safety Equipment. Go to medical."

You do as she says, and when you meet her. She gives you a Diamond charm.

"It will block one attack, just go in there and ask as many questions as you like."

You don't think you'll get very far by talking. You look around and see a huge amount of medical equipment built into the walls. You see a breathing mechanism, something for the intestinal track, something for the heart, something for almost every organ.

"Bad. No. Can. Move. No. Can. See. An. I. Mals."

It seems she can't hold a long conversation, as she stops to gather her breath and think.

"How's the rehab going?"

Jessica interrupts through a speaker in the wall.

"Ok. We might want your help though, not for you, but for your buffing and boosting. We would like you to support one of the doctors and sis. 'Bzzzrtk!'" The sound cuts off. You see Shan-Bai looking at you with a lot more hope in her eyes.

"Please. Help? Help? I. Want. To-*cough* See. My *cough*"

Then starts a coughing fit. You hear beeping galore from the machines behind her. Then she calms down.

"Next. Please."

"Has your Father visited?"

"No. Jess. Says. He. Is. Busy."

"Uhuh! Brzzzztk!"

Another voice over from Jessica. You suspect something is off.

"Any idea what you want to do after you are well enough to move?"

"Have. Fun. Pet. Wolf. Spend. Time. With. Family."

"Any plans with your Jewels?"

"Remove. Them. I. Can't. Use. A. Whip."

You see her pining in regret, you knew that demon had control, but she even made the choice about her Consolidated Equipment. Which is permanent."

"I don't think that's possible. Don't worry the rehab will help."

She just stays silent.

"So how aware were you while under Bixie's control?"

"I. Could. See. I. Could. Not. Move. I. Could. Not Speak. I. Heard. All."

"Well, with both of them gone. Do you know how long it might take you to get comfortable with your body again?"

You see tears in her eyes.

"No! NO! I. DON'T KNOW! *cough* *cough*"

You hear more beeping.

"Zou get out of there! Shang-Dwei put some sedatives in her her vitals are going mad! Get a team in there as soon as possible!"

You see Ice and Water forming where her limbs are, then shift back. You see a small storm forming, the Water ruining some of the electrics.

You get out of there and avoid a team of about 4 Life users and one Darkness user head in with Jessica.

"I'll call you when I need you. Get some rest."

You head back to your room. You try to imagine that. Being imobile for 90 years, then gaining the power of a Heavenly King in a moment. It must be excruciating.

Rolling 2d100 for Jessica, first for stuff with a DC of 50, second for Shan-Bai stuff.

You head on over. What you see is not nice. You see 2 doctors, both very old, and Shan-Bai, trying to pronounce words and sentences more consistently. She has calmed down from yesterday.

"Ah hello there Lieutenant. Our first exercise today is some speech therapy. The Princess is in a poor condition. This is the first step. We were told by the Marshal you could be able to assist us?"

"Yes. My Saint Element is good at healing, and can buff things sometimes."

"Well then. If you could increase her Coordination, that would be great. Not by much, just enough for her to get her bearings. Maybe 1.2 times her current Coordination. I also hear you are good with education? Some help would be appreciated."

You spend the next few minutes explaining how your tongue is supposed to move for sounds, and a way to let her words flow. She makes some good progress, and the doctors give her a pass for today, but they will do some more work tomorrow.

"Now then, we plan to get her off some of these machines this afternoon. You are welcome to stay, but I understand a Lieutenant like yourself could be busy. It could also be messy. The first one is getting her lungs to work, and that means giving her control over the diaphragm and Intercostal Muscles and her mucus production. It could get messy. Princess. Would you like to say anything to the Lieutenant?"

"Thank you. Zou. Bye Bye."

You might as well do your job. You head over to the hanger, your Co-Pilot is not there. Instead. The Vice-Marshal sits there with a bottle of whisky and a glass. He is staring at your ship.

"Sir?"

"Yeah?"

"Where is my Shwei-Fa?"

"Day off. Tell you what kid, how about you and I go on a small trip. Like the first time."

"Are you drunk?"

"No. Jewel Masters can't get drunk very easily. I just like the taste."

"Where would you like to go?"

"Well. I was thinking, a trip to Mars sounds nice. We finally have a good set of adaptive coordinates for it. You wanna come? It's a lot better than going for recon at Miller.

Image is the best I could come up for the Palace. It is showing the beastman tribes as is shown in the Moon-War time. The building to the side is the Consolidated Equipment Master's Palace. It has an underground of course. The main building is mainly a facade, the sides and back are both grey to mix in with the massive steel wall bordering the Wastelands. The front is Amethyst for electricity. It has a glass ceiling, a pentagon, meant to look good for the public. As this place is a dictatorship, the Palace is meant to look angular. The ovals are massive Cat's Eye Jade, containing the enormous amount of space this place really holds. It is like a second City in there.

>HE is now 2625

>Go to Mars

"Sure. What's one more alien race to get mad at us?"

"A shuddap you. I did some more tests, and I am 99 percent sure there are no aliens apart from maybe some bacterial life."

"Bacterial? What's that?"

"Wha? Bacteria. Like. Germs and shit. How much have you learnt from the Elemental Research department anyway?"

"Not much. I am 14 and I didn't have the money or opportunity for education."

"Well. Maybe getting you on an astrophysics course or a Life Element course would be a goodun. I am fairly sure there are no animals. Happy?"

"Sure. What about the 1 percent?"

"Minute evidence of an Element I have not seen before, mainly that the planet is cold on the surface, irradiate-sorry, toxic beyond belief, but the core? That could be a lot warmer, and not in the normal way. I'll explain later but we were using comparisons from the Moon and the slime that hatched from the egg, it's from that we got the cannon. Anyway. Get your suit on."

You get changed, apparently due to technological constraints, you can't swap this one on. To take people beyond the Moon requires a bit more Spatial support. You see inlays of liquid Cat's Eye Jade somehow and other small bits you have no idea of the function.

The Vice-Marshal gets in the main pilots seat, with you in observation and weaponry. You see that a standard cannon was fitted instead.

"What damage can that do?"

"8th Jewel, but requires a huge amount of power, hence why you are using it. Get your Consolidated Equipment on. I hate the stuff but I do like how it moulds to your clothes. Buff yourself just in case."

You do as he says. Concerned about any soul damage. Instead of sitting in parallel seats. Your seat is lowered below. The stronger cannon having different requirements.

You feel the ships gravity change, until some mechanisms fall in to place, meaning gravity centres again. You look and see a massive dirt red orb, meteor impacts and mountains and hills. It's not as pure coloured as the Moon, but it is still astonishing. You don't know how far away from home you are, but you look around, and can't see Earth clearly.

"Look at it boy! The bloody Earth! Only a small pocket of Ice at the north pole, the rest of it barren. What do you see?

You take a close look, anything concerning landmarks. All you see are frequent volcanoes, or perhaps inactive or dormant ones. One of the mountains looks more pyramid like? However, one thing is clear. You can see no life, no monsters. Nothing. There is evidence that life could have been here. The volcanoes could provide a source of heat, or acted as islands as any seas evaporated, but there is nothing now.

"It is dry, barren and empty. Do we have equipment to explore it on foot?"

"Back home we do. What do you think about it all?"

>Player Choice
>Write-in for what Zou feels about a barren Mars, not only for his own planet, but for all the life that could have been there. His feelings in discovering an empty planet, home to maybe some minute life.

"I say, as your Vice-Marshal, that we head home, not now of course, but in a few minutes. I need to take some pictures and ask you something."

"Go on?"

"During the mission to Miller. They found a new source of Ice I told you about. However, I can't help but get the feeling that you might have been responsible for that, after all. The data we received from the Skill training rooms suggest you started to use a powerful Water Skill using Ice, and on the day you visit, this happens. I simply can't fathom it, unless, of course. That was you. Now you won't be in any trouble, you'll just have to either clean up your mess and face the consequences of changing the environment of a trusted ally, or give a really good reason that wasn't you. Did you make that new Ice ravine?"

He is in the seat controls, you cannot teleport home from here no matter how much you like it.

"Well, yes I did make it, but I had no idea the Skill would do....that! It fires Water and sometimes Ice bullets, all I did was funnel all the Heavenly Energy I could spare to kill one of those behemoths. What was I supposed to do, let it run away?"

"Fine. I get ya. I think I need to explain something, what is the rank of the Skill?

You have a look at the colour wheel, 12 Stars what the hell."

"12 Stars. Why."

"I-huh. You have 3 Jewels don't you? How on earth did you do that? Anyway. Skills, like people have a domain, specifically, stronger Skills and those of higher ranks can override the effects of a lower one. This domain can also affect the material world, we think that the Earth has its own soul, believe it or not, and is cultivating at this very minute. In other words, Skills in the Heavenly King and above territory can effect the Earth, in your case, you made a new source of Heavenly Energy. It has a domain separate from Earth, and this can cause problems. So talk to someone about what Miller want to do with it."

"Sure. I guess the Ice will be good for drinks? They do live in a desert."

"There will also be monsters! Things starting from the Zun Stage! Just...be careful when you use 10 Star and above Skills, they have their own identities-whatever. If you want more science babble take a course in General Elemental Theory. We're going home."

"What about Mars? Does it have a soul? Is it cultivating?"

"I think so? As I said, I saw evidence of Elements, so...there must be something."

You teleport back home. You think back to the barren surface. Maybe someday humans could live there, if the Earth ends up like that, then, could you even revive it? Could this happen to us, too, in the future? What guarantees are there, unless one overcomes the Heavenly God Stage, to protect life?

You get out of the ship. It seems your effort back near Mars took a long time.

"Well Lieutenant, I can secure a set of Mars Walking gear for tomorrow, but not now. Unless you want to see something else, like...maybe what Miller is doing with their new feature, then go away. I need to print and file this data."

You decide to consult the King about the new Ice ravine you made. You head to the Library, where he sits. Reading.

"Hello? Why have you come? Have you found a solution to the Destruction Element?"

"No, I came to ask you something else. Nearby Miller there is an Ice ravine I made with a Skill after killing something else. What should I do about it?"

"What was the Skill's rank?"

"12."

"Get rid of it as soon as possible. It will continue to spew beasts until it has been destroyed. Miller may complain, but they will not have encountered the stronger beasts inside it."

"Yes, your Majesty."

You are about to leave the Library, when an alarm sounds.

"WARNING. WARNING. DEMONIC PRESENCE DETECTED, HEAVENLY KING LEVEL. PLEASE EVACUATE. I REPEAT. PLEASE EVACUATE."

The King puts his head in his hands.

"Oh what now! I thought Shan-Bai was free of that damn thing!"

You think back to Jessica, and when she said that the demon was trying to breed inside her. It may have just taken control, or something else. You need to go.

Adding to the paste. Back to demon hunting.

You know instantly where something like that would go. The Wastelands. You saw a school of small fish with the Evil Element there, so it would find friends.

You run as fast as you can manage, with the Wind and the buff aiding you you dash out to the Wastelands by kicking through the steel of the wall's edge. What you see is not good.

You see a human, with large black horns, a trident like black tail, and some very skimpy leather clothing. However, the human in question is Jessica herself. Turned into a demon? This is not the same as the demon Shan-Bai had. Bixie made some changes sure, but that could have been due to anything. This is different. You don't think anyone else wants to get close to it. You do not know why but you are about to find out. Most others must have evacuated.

You chase after her. She stops running after she can tell that she cannot outrun you.

Turning to face you. You see the epitome of desire staring back.

"Now then little boy. How about you just leave little me alone? I can make it worth your while..."

The beautiful body of Jessica is saying things like this? You do not see the box on her wrist. You keep staring at her, listening to her. It is hypnotic...you don't think you can think of anything else. With every word she draws closer. You can feel your mind slipping away.

>Write-in for how to deal with it. It can't run or dodge, it is at your mercy. If you kill it, Jessica will die, if you enlighten it, the Skill will not work as this technically just about doesn't qualify as a beast. 100s man. If you touch it, it will activate charm again. If you call someone and wait for them, it will activate charm again.

They are both pretty bad, but tomorrow I'll switch to pencil and paper, should be easier that way to draw what I want.


>Call Fei whilst your babies hold down her sister.

Well, she's at your mercy, time to contain her. You summon Shijiu Lian Yu, the Saint fish you enlightened. You see they have a pair of wings now, golden and blue, with patches of grey to blend into the Wastelands. You send all 19 at her.

"Guh! That hurts!"

You see them grab her by their mouths, her skin burning due to the Saint Element. They dig into the sands, holding her arms and tail down. She seems to be in considerable pain, and she starts shaking around, trying to break free by killing the weak fish.

You take this opportunity to call Fei, not a man, to help you contain her.

"Fei? I found Jessica, well, not her, but close enough."

"Where are you?"

"Wastelands, about 6 miles in."

"Got it I'll fly over."

You see her in the skies flying over, until she dips down when she sees you. Her expression says it all.

"Zou! Close your eyes! That is not proper dress siste-uh what? Zou explain?"

"She's been taken over by a demon, but not in the same way as Shan-Bai. I need some help in subduing her."

"Right..gosh she isn't wearing much is she...should I be worried about the fish?"

"No, they are mine. Just do something. Quick, she tried to charm me."

"She what?! Jessica I told you about doing bad things!"

"Not Jessica. Demon."

"Bad demon! Go back to hell!"

You see her shift her 11 Agility Jewels into an elaborate system, then her Tourmaline Jewels start funnelling a purple gas into her mouth. You see her start to fall asleep."

"Zou, please look away from my almost naked sister's body, I don't want to to get corrupted..."

You forgot she was like this...you start to look away and desummon your fish, safe in the knowledge that everything is fine, until you see a glint in her eyes. Her eyes, black and green, like a forest...wouldn't it be perfect if you could look at them, forever?"

You can't look away. You will stay with her. Nothing else matters.

You stand ready to attention.

"Hahahaha! Kill her!"

You have your orders. You see your Mistress fall asleep. Your target has used her Jewels to contain her. You have an opening.

"Shut up you notJessica! Zou help me with her-."

You summon your Angel of Death set, the Helment, Breastplate and Sword glowing. How to kill her. Wind would be weak to solid earth. However. Ice will do. Freeze your enemy. She has not suspected a thing. The idiot.

"Zou what are you doing?"

You fire the ice projectiles, covered in golden energy, at the enemy. You see her body ripped to shreds by the hundreds of ice attacks you launch at her. Her Jewels form back into spheres and drop to the floor. All that is left, is a fine red paste on the grey sand, dripping in until only the Jewels remain. You see your Master wake up. Her beautiful black and red hair cleaning off the blood and sand like a living entity.

"Good work...Zou? Was it? I don't really care. I'm gonna keep on running, follow me slave! Just unsummon that ghastly armour you have on, it feels so awful."

"Yes Mistress."

She picks up the 22 Jewels in the sand.

"I'll take these, could sell them, or, you will, for a pretty penny...somewhere. Follow me!"

She takes off, running away, you follow her, no Heavenly Energy left but you can keep up with her if your body burns!

You see a very dense...not forest, a very tangled forest...green, and humid.

"Slave! Where are we?"

"I do not know, Mistress. I have never been here before."

She slaps you.

"What the hell are you for then! Can you fly?"

"I can try, but no guarantees."

"Fucking I get a useless battle-head! Dammit, just follow me through this place. I'll use some illusion stuff to make myself look a bit more human, you have no idea what could be here."

"Beasts. I know that much."

"Really? Well I can charm them and make them leave us alone, primitive things. Even the beasts in the grey sands area ignored me because of my greatness!"

The two of you begin to walk through unfamiliar territory. You will give your life for her. You can feel your Heavenly Energy restoring. You must protect your Mistress.

Karma? Divine. (Divine has no Skills, sorry, it has a really overpowered ability, so that is its malus, it would use Heavenly Energy Control for it instead). Saint has a skill which can sense all the sins in a person, but not the good, like karma would unless you get an ability to sense the soul/see it.

"Ah! Kill it! Kill! It!"

You agree. Time to try something different. You draw Saint's Radiance, then buff your Strength. Even with your devotion to your Mistress. You hate Monkeys. There is no reason to hold back now.

It is dead.

You slice it in half. Your Saint Element purifying the annimalistic sin in it. You leave a Nature Element Core, which your Mistress takes.

"Oh fuck! That thing was strong, you know what? I need a break from this, can you make a shelter for us? Or something to protect us?"

You think of your Elements and Skills...you don't think you have something for this, this is mainly Earth's job. You could use your Heavenly Energy Control to make a Spatial barrier, but you would have to be awake for all of it, and it would take conceited effort to do. What ever, time to do this. You access your Spatial Element and channel it through Saint's Radiance, the greyish energy forming at the tip.

"I can make something to protect us. Feel free to sleep. Mistress."

She plops down, leaning on you. You can feel her breath on you. It is taking all you have to resist your Mistress, but you will manage. Anything for her.

Your Master wakes up feeling rested. You are not rested.

"Can you deal with the rings around your eyes? I can't have you looking like this."

You use your Life Element to heal your damage from no sleep.

After a few hours you see a wooden wall, a sign of civilisation! You can tell that the beasts avoid it.

She reveals her true form. You see his face daze over in lust. He slowly loosens the taught bowstring and puts the arrow of Heavenly Energy in to the ether.

"How could have I been so blind! Please come in to our city Mistress, where your beauty may be seen by all!"

He opens the gates, and turns into a parakeet, flying away somewhere.

"I can try. I normally only do stats."

Failure! Technically, you win!

You try, but again, to no avail, you don't succeed. Your Mistress doesn't know that though, and she decides to walk on anyway. You are left to your own devices apparently. What is there to do to make your Mistress happy? You hear sounds coming from inside, most from men, but the women? They start to scream, well most of them...you wonder how far she'll get. Hundreds of women will die by her hands, either from their partners killing them, or suicide from loosing a life partner to your Mistress. You revel in that knowledge. You will meet your fellow slave inside, as brothers. You must improve yourself for her. Her toned and alluring form drives you, you will live under her. This is your life.

>Listen to the souls again, in search of men to help you and your Mistress.

You think to rely on your speciality, outside the City walls, you plonk down and begin to focus. However, this time, things are more...hazy. You think moving into the City proper would be a good idea. What you see emboldens you.

Dozens of corpses, all bleeding on the ground. The majority are women, ugly women. You see the process of a few men taking hold of a women, examining her under her cooperation, then pushing her to another group for transport somewhere. Others suffer a different fate. Death. This must be your Mistresses idea of breeding. You see that all of the women have no complaints about their treatment. Can your Mistress charm the weak women too?

You sit down again, try to listen. You can sense strength and size of a soul. but not its identity. This could pose a problem. If your Mistress cannot charm strong women, then you could bring her end. This could be a massive problem. You want to stay with your Mistress.

You try to focus on their voices. Deeper or higher? No. Nothing! How could this be?

You feel everything stop. You see the visage of the Dao. this time a young bright green haired girl.

"Your Mistress is interrupting the connection. If you want to hear the listless and lazy dead souls better, then you must leave her control. She is part of the Dao, like anything. She has an influence over it."

The woman disappears. You still have a job to do.

You home in on a group of a few, which you think are quiet strong. Let's try this. You activate Resurrect, and hold it out to the source of the haziness.

In front of you, a young woman appears. You see 8 Physical Jewels on her, but that's it, a mixture of Stamina, Endurance and Flexibility.

"Ahhh! Ahh! griszhouwbweida! Ahhh!"

She starts speaking a language you can't understand. No matter, you cannot let her run away. So you attempt to hold her still.

You buff your Strength again, and attempt to keep her still. She tries to resist, summoning 6 pieces of Consolidated Equipment belonging to 2 pieces of three types. Next time you do this, it should be in the presence of your Mistress.

You see her struggle with all her might, trying to squeeze her way out of your hands, but against a Heavenly Jewel Master, nothing will work.

You knock her out, and begin to make your way to your Mistress. However, as you go deeper and deeper in. You start to see a change in the topography. Things become much higher and varied, plants and flowers grow on every corner. Eventually you see trademark signs of battle. Your Mistress is in battle!

You run as fast as you can, carrying the woman is easy, but you put her down somewhere you remember and run ready to protect your Mistress.

You find that the majority of the male population and your Mistress are doing battle with someone in the air. You look up and see a very large bird made of flowers greenery and tree branches. It is firing pods and other attacks at the ground. You see that your Mistress is being protected by your fellow slaves, but not fighting. Then the bird speaks.

"Vile beast! You have murdered dozens in your evil quest! However, you cannot charm me! Die!"

You see the bird change into the visage of a girl in the prime age of adulthood, dark green hair, brown eyes, and 11 pairs of Jewels. Flexibility and Nature. She summons her Consolidated Equipment, with a Bow as her main weapon.

You must protect your Mistress. She will not last a proper attack from a Heavenly Empress.

>>3798952

>Nope


You fire it, but you see her transform into vines, and wrangle out of the way.

You won't get anywhere like this. You need to bring her down to the ground. You look at see others are shooting Water Spheres and other attacks at her. You see 1 Heavenly King, a man, in the fray. You decide to buff him. but for what? You see him shooting out Metal projectiles, a sign of the Earth Element, but you can't see his Physical Jewels. He is the best chance you guys have. Your opponent is busy dodging attacks to make her own. You could buff his HE, ask your Mistress to order him to use it in one attack, and see where that gets you.

You see an attack from the Heavenly Empress shoot out in the carnage towards your Mistress. No one is able to reach it in time...

If you do such a thing, then the demon would also come back. Remember. You. Have. Access. To. Her. Jewels.


>If you got a higher roll than your opponent then the plan would have gone through first, alas. She dead.

You try to explain to her in time, but a small seed bursts through her chest, vines and flowers explode outwards. Caving in her body and acid pouring through her. When it is over. Some of her body is left.

You feel a clarity. What. What the hell have you done! Fei...you killed Fei! Jessica...you look down at Jessica's body. The dozens of corpses of the women and sometimes children.

You see the other men look around, confused, panicking remembering what they have done.

"Oh are you guys alright now?" The Heavenly Empress says. Dropping to the floor.

"Now then, can any of you tell me who let A FUCKING SUCCUBUS IN!"

Eh, not that bad.

You yourself collapse. You have failed the people who helped you, trained you, homed you! What the hell are you supposed to do now!

The other men are sort of quick to come back to their senses, but with some obvious sadness.

"We...I saw her in the main street."

"Me too!"

"It must have been one of the guards!"

"Found the bastard!"

Everyone turns to see a corpse, covered in vines like the Succubus.

"Ah shite. Well, lesson learned everybody. Divine protection is a must! Captain! Follow me!"

You see the Heavenly King follow her up to a much larger tree.

You guess...you are free now? You check your pockets. You have all the stuff your Mistress asked for you to carry. Fei's...Jewels.

You look in the vine wreckage and see Jessica's Jewels. You take them after people leave to ponder and sob, and for the proper authorities to get here.

You need to get out of here before people recognise that you are new and likely were partnered with what was Jessica. You need to make calls, or something!

Fei appears from them, fully clothed, but they have holes in them from when you shot her.

"Wha? Where am I-! Zou!"

She brings you in to a massive hug.

"You're back! I'm back! Oh it was horrible say sorry!"

"Sorry. Oh heavens I...I killed you. I don- I don-"

"It doesn't matter! I'm alive! It was that bi--uh that beasts fault! Where is she? That was my sister wasn't it?"

"Dead, along with Jessica's body."

"Can you bring her back like me?"

"I have her Jewels, but...If I revive her now...then I don't know if it will bring back the Succubus as well...I must be miles from home."

"Looks like it. It's really hot. What's that alarm for?"

Oh shit.

"We need to run. The people there think I was responsible for the Succubus, which I kind of was, but we need to go."

"Okay! I'll carry you! I'm really fast and I can get us home tomorrow morning! W-where are we?"

"Past the Wastelands into beastman territory."

Her face goes pale.

"I have to fly through....the Wastelands?"

"Yes. I need to sleep. Goodnight, Fei."

Fei picks you up and slings her on your back, summoning her Consolidated Equipment, she turns it into the Jet Type Consolidated Equipment.

You think back to Tsushiri...she's like her isn't she...a life destroyer.

"I'm going to call Jiang."

You call Jiang, her voice ringing in your mind.

"Zou is that you?!"

"Yes. I'am alive. I'm myself, all is not lost, well, most is not lost."

"You get back here right now so I can beat you up! You killed Fei!"

Different strokes of people you guess.

"Fei? Jiang's calling, she won't be able to hear you so do something to say it is you."

"Uhhhhhh Sonic Boom!"

"Jiang look for the sonic boom ring-"

*BOOOOOM*

"Ow. Fuck. Fei's back. Jessica isn't back yet."

"Where the hell did you go?! We tried contacting Shimuko for some help in rescuing you but she refused!"

Typical. As a Sunriser she is going to hate even being near mind control.

"Well I'm coming home now, shouldn't be long. I have Jessica's Jewels, but we need a way to contain the demon if it comes with."

"I don't care about that just don't dye on me like with the Monkeys!"

"Will do. I haven't died once. Bye for now."

You end the call. Without the brains of the operation the Elemental Research department is going to be a lot slower. Shian would be the best to take over, you think she is the smartest of the bunch. Anyway.

Fei lands on the outer pentagonal roof of the palace.

"Phew! You aren't heavy, but carrying someone for hours is....really...tiring."

You see her fall asleep right then and there. You catch her. Another trip to medical for you.

When you set her down for some sleep in a bed. You are not met by Jiang at the door, but by Shan-Bai. In a wheel chair, but she is alive, and talking, and breathing, and functioning. At least someone has had a good few days.

"H-hello. How are you?"

"I want to get to work, it's nice to see you again, but I need to talk to Shian and the Vice-Marshal."

"Um...Shian..she went out of the Palace to look for you...she isn't here....Zhang is testing a single pilot te-teleship, so, he's a bit busy, also called you an idiot...he wants you to attend some kind of official education I heard from the doctors....he said there was protocol for a Succubus and you didn't know it, so he want you to take a beast course."

Drat, what fucking timing is this!

"Fine. Jiang. I want to see Jiang."

"Can I talk with you instead?"

You sigh. Impatience is not a virtue.

Still doesn't excuse very poor army management. I understand not having us go through all that from a narrative standpoint, but the minimum that should have happened would have been a month-long hell training crash course. We are an important military asset and should probably be treated as such.

The King, in your previous timelines, has seen exemplary work and attitude from every one. He trusted you to do the right thing, he still does. Also, the power of one of the 4 Great Elements is not to be understated. 3 of the main powers in this world have them. As a Princesses bodyguard you were given a free pass because of your power. However, it seems some things are now more necessary than before. You will hopefully be seeing the Vice-Marshal soon for a small chat. He likes to lash out at bit, being a cranky 70 year old does that.

"Well, I might need some more Life Element Skills, but the most I can do now is use Saint to improve your learning ability, however, I am ready to help when you ask."

You see her face gain some colour, this must have been the main clincher for her.

"I use a Sword. I can spar with you, but I don't know how to use a whip. Fei might be a better option...or...just ask your Father for a teacher and get going, if the demon got to be so good using your body, then you should have the talent for it, even if you are wheelchair bound. I am not sure about the going out thing. The last time I did that I got in some major trouble, but I will try to help you any way I can. I can again, try and help Sun-Di break through, but I am nowhere good enough with my Heavenly Energy Control to make it consistent. I just have average talent with that. Jiang has outclassed me in weeks! "

"R-right. Thank you. I will take that all to mind. Do you have any questions?"

"What has happened during my not-so-pleasant vacation?"

"I'm sorry, but I have been bed bound for most of it...I know that Shian left without permission, but the King isn't overly concerned. We are still working on equipment...for...the Moon."

Saying this, she looks incredibly small, ashamed of her meagre condition and support.

"Honestly, if so much education is needed to work with the Palace, don't you feel like I've been thrust into the front lines a bit too fast?"

"Yes, but, the doctors told me the risks were worth it. You have been responsible for helping and saving the lives of hundreds of powerful and good people. The analysis of the Saint Element, resurrect. Me! Even now, you could bring back Jessica! I could see Fei on the bed! I don't know if the courses are mandatory. I've noticed that Zhang makes bad comments about the people he likes and trusts making mistakes, so it could be just him ranting..."

"How common are monsters like this that there is a standard protocol for Succubus?"

"We have a railgun Heavenly Emperor level beast in the basement. Squeaks is just something like that. I believe my Father ordered some protocol to be made for every book in the Library that had a monster in it...so...almost everything. Don't feel too bad about it. I have been alive..listening for 90 years! Hehe. So I know a lot even if my body doesn't work!"

"You're fine. Is there a known way to cleanse them or are we going to have to hope i can do something impossible again?"

"You mean things like the Succubus? Well, things can be..different for the Evil Element. They are really weak, but if you fall for them, there is no hope. The best advice is to avoid them, if not, then reach a cultivation higher than them, if you can't, then lead them to a church, or place of worship, and purify them. I suppose you could do that with your Saint Element?"

"No, I need my 4th Jewel for that., I have an idea to bring back Jessica, but I'll need the holding facility you were when Bixie was possessing you, mind leading the way?"

"I-I don't think--no-no. I don't want to hear, think, see, listen! Nothing! Nada! J-just ask someone else!"

Fine. She became a lot more angry, just leave it alone, you can ask someone else.

"Well, Fei is in Medical, do you want to stay with her for a bit?"

"Sure! See you later!"

You see she is unnaturally happy, time to go.

You leave to find Jiang, who must have very bad luck, because she's been searching for you all this time. She runs up to you, sobbing and crying all the way through.

"Zou! You're back! I am so glad you're alive!"

"Yes. Fei's in medical with Shan-Bai."

"W-where's Jessica?"

"Complicated. I need to know where the containment chamber is, the one we used for Shan-Bai."

"Wuh-, not a minute you come back and you want to do some work! I can't believe this! No! I am not telling you! Have some fun! Dance with me! Sing! Play games! have a break! Please, just don't work for a few days!"

You definitely disagree. You need to do more. Fun. Later. There is too much at stake to mess around with games and dancing.

"No. I need to do something! Every moment, everything I do has to help people. This entire situation could have been avoided if I were better! If I knew more! If I worked harder! The things I've done are going to haunt my dreams, for the rest of my life! Well, looking at things that won't last too long will it! I can do better, could have done better and I know it!

"Just do your best! That's all you can do! You have done so much already! Please, I just want to have fun with you for a bit."

The crying changes, from happy to sad.

"All this work is going to break you, just, this must be your Element talking, listen to reason. Jessica knew you could do miracles. If she gets angry about her resurrection being delayed, then let me take the blame! Shian went looking for you and I couldn't I just want to help you and I think that means no training, no work, just living, ok?"

You think of the corpses of the women you were responsible for. Their ghosts will be screaming for eternity if you don't do something. Then you look at Jiang, remember the times when you fought, danced, enjoyed each other's company.

"I--I think-I want a break."

"See? Doesn't that feel better?"

"But what about the Vice-Marshal? Jessica? Long? Wha-"

"Shhhhh. Don't worry about that, just follow me."

She leads you over quite a while to the dancing room you have used.

"Wait there. I'll make you human again!"

>Teaching is now +29
>Useful Dancing is now 9/100

You don't think stretching yourself is a good idea. So Jiang and you choose something slow, but according to her, makes you appreciate the sound, rather than the feeling.

It's nice, lots of strings and wind instruments. Supposedly trying to show the different seasons, but, you let it flow through you. You learnt a way to make sounds with the Wind Element from Fei, maybe this is one way you can use it, like she did when Jiang was young. You start to match the sound with one of your own, a light brass. You think it fits. Jiang leans in closer to you.

"See? Are you having fun now?"

"Yes. I needed this. Thank you, Jiang."

The two of you keep going with a few more songs, until it has been a few hours, and Jiang says she needs to go see Fei.

"What, work?"

"N-no! It's a hobby!"

"How about we do this once a week?"

"Yeah! Of course!"

She dashes off. You have some time. All these things to do, so little time, apparently Heavenly God's can live to 500. You have had your Jewels for nearly 3 months.

Yeah. He doesn't "know", but he's smart enough to figure it out. What could possibly go wrong?

OOC he'll set up the main stuff with you shadowing him to check a few bits. You are technically the most experienced person they have on board with this phenomenon and the Saint Element, so he wants a second opinion.
>>
>Talk to the King

You need some advice. You make your way to the Library. You find that the King is not there. So you walk to the throne room.

*Knock knock.*

"Enter."

You open the door. The King sits on the throne.

"So. What do you plan to do about YOUR MISTAKE?!"

A blast of wind pushes you to the ground, you feel time stopping again, then he stands above you, face, despite being chalk white, dark.

"2 of my daughters dead, one possessed by the one thing you are supposed to be good at. None of your predecessors had this level of failure. I want an explanation. Now!"

"The Succubus charmed me twice, it worked on the second try."

"Are my daughter's back?"

"Fei is. I need some preparation for Jessica. The demon could come back."

"Fine. At least there is something. Where did you end up going?"

"Bird Tribe, lead by a Nature Element Heavenly Jewel Master."

"Well, at least it is an enemy. Fine. Do you need anything from me?"

"I think I have a better idea on how to combat the Destruction Element."

"...go on."

"It is a unique Element, not made from any others. You cannot recreate it as such. Also, I think we need to contact Demon Hammer and Tsushuri, because combining the 4 Great Elements looks like the best way to make something to work against it."

"I'll see what I can do. Tsushuri is reclusive. Now be gone with you. I expect my daughter back as soon as possible."

"Yes, your Majesty!"

When you leave. You have to wonder. How much stress does he go through, with 2 daughters gone, our chances of winning a war are a lot less, he could have gone back in time now, but he didn't. Well, time to keep going.

You go to the Elemental Research department, and ask of the Vice-Marshal is around. He is. Working in the hanger.

You go to the hanger, and find a much larger Teleship, with one person working on it, tools strewn about. The sounds of metal clanging together are distinct.

"Sir?"

"Ahh! What the fuck?!"

You see Dr Xi-Tze fall out of the ship.

"Zou! You bastard! Call me or something first!"

He runs over, mallet in hand.

"How are you kid?"

"I could be better, but I am here. Fei is here. Jessica could be here. How about you? What is the ship?"

"Right so you know how your ship needs 2 people?"

"Yeah?"

"Well this only needs one, which can double our pilot strength! 30 whole pilots!"

"R-right. I need to ask you some questions. Firstly, I need some help, and some equipment for resurrecting Jessica."

"Ah--oh, I see, right to the point...it's been hell without her honestly. What do you need?"

"The containment chamber that Shan-Bai once used, with a set up for Saint and defensive measures."

"When? As soon as possible? Sure! That sounds great! Just stick with me and I'll get right on that!"

"Something else. Shan-Bai mentioned courses you wanted me to take?"

"W-well. I didn't really mean it like that-I mean, you aren't an idiot, sorry about that, but, I just get mad sometimes at people I work with. Jessica liked making bigger leaps in research than the less talented could keep up with, so I gave her a bit of hell for that. The courses are open-book and available any time, and as you a Teleship Lieutenant you could attend for free. Most of it is common sense, you know. Elemental strengths and weaknesses. How to deal with monsters...I mean, basic stuff people just normally learn in school...you never had the chance I guess. Is the Succubus dead?"

"Yes, along with Jessica. Which is why I need the chamber, so contain a Succubus if she comes back instead."

"Ah fuck. You know what kid. I have a request before all of that, I have a small pet project of mine. You know how I said that people at higher cultivations can't get drunk easily? Well, I have a small recipe, but I need your help. I need some Lightning and Life Element, but I don't have the control for the delicate structures I need, care to try?"

"Alcohol on the job? Really?"

"I have been worked to the bone here I need something."

He teleports in a small glass jar, filled with blues and purples, glittering.

"Go ahead, Lightning first, then Life."

You do as instructed, and you end up making a purple and yellow coloured drink. Zhang drinks it in one gulp.

"Now that's good! You wwaant some?"

"No thank you. Containment Chamber?"

"Ssure kiid. Follow me."

He wobbles away to the place. He shouts at some people to get the Saint generators ready and that Jessica could be coming back. That gets people moving quickly.

You end up with something you think is optimal. You put Jessica's Jewels in the chamber, activate Resurrect, then hope for the best.

>Cost Down 77/120

She is unconscious, unsurprisingly. So when they take her out it is straight to medical.

"Lieutenant! Would you like to join us as part of the recovery team? You would need some quarantine gear and medical stuff, but your Saint Element would be greatly appreciated if some of the demon remains in her."

>Read the Guard's book for some Heavenly Energy Control practice, but first, a call and Shan-Bai.

You wake up in your own bed. It feels familiar, warm, you are home. Then you get a call.

"Hello Disciple. I have a complaint to make. I hear you were the one who made the massive Ice thing. Please come to stop it soon. I don't mind it existing, as I can use it for training down the line. Others are not so lucky. It is nice for ice cubes, bad for monsters. The electoral parliament put it to vote and we want you, or someone from Dershwa to come deal with it within two weeks."

"Will I get paid?"

"No. You did this, and you will fix it. You can bring anyone you like, but you will be responsible for paying and supporting them. Goodbye."

He ends the call. Did he even know you were gone these past few days?

You get a knock on the door.

"H-hello? C-can I come in?"

It's Shan-Bai. You get some clothes on and open the door.

"It is very early, is there something you would like?"

"When y-you have the time, please come help with my recovery and body coordination training. Our main focus is to get me standing up today. My legs feel tired already, but the doctors tell me that I can get some rest when I can walk to the bed myself."

"I might be able to see you this afternoon Okay?"

"Okay! Thank you!"

She turns round her wheelchair with some effort, and moves away from the door, it is at this point you see that the wheelchair has been custom made for her, as it looks a lot smaller than a normal one.

You close the door, and take our the Guard's book, it has been well kept by you, so it looks as good as when you first got it...the Mutation of Life book on the other hand you haven't touched, mainly because it looks like it could break after 4 pages have been turned.

A small titbit, when I had the opportunity to work in a physiotherapy department with the NHS, one of the things I both saw and partly participated in was helping someone after post op trying to get out of bed after staying in it for 6 weeks with no exercise. They struggled but they managed in the end. So this scenario is something I have experience with, not the demon possession part, but the physio part.

>Go see Shan-Bai, this was mainly a choice for character building.
>Jessica will remember that

You head off to Medical after that. You have a long way to go, but you need to take it one day at a time.

You ask to see Shan-Bai, and they tell you to head to the Physiotherapy room. When you do, Shan-Bai is being assisted by a doctor and some nurses, she is still in her wheelchair. Breathing heavily and red faced, her body is taking a toll. The doctor speaks to you instead.

"Ah hello Lieutenant! Have you come to see the Princess' progress?"

"I've come to help with my boosting."

"Right, well firstly. Princess, so you want to show how you have been doing?"

"Hah. Hah. Yes. Please. I just. Need a minute."

"Certainly."

A little later. Shan-Bai attempts to stand up. Grabbing on to the wheelchair's arms, she pushes herself up, legs, although developed, shaking with every move. Her mind and body are not in alignment. This is trying to get them to work together after 90 years.

She gets about halfway, then she drops back in to the seat, breathing heavily.

"Well done! You are making fantastic progress Princess! Lieutenant, if you would increase her Stamina, she could use the muscle groups more often, which would increase the electrical strength of the motor neurons in her body after a bit of time, any increase will help, I leave it to your discretion."

You decide to buff her instead. You don't put on your Angel of Death set.

Over the time you spend here, she improves greatly. By the evening, you see her taking her first steps! However, she opts for the wheelchair in the end, as she is nowhere near healthy.

"Thank you Zou-Do-Shai. I am planning to continue in the evening, but I think seeing someone else might-be...a bit more important."

>Go see Jessica

Going to see her right now may not be the best idea, you have a duty of care to Shan-Bai. However, you also have a huge responsibility to Jessica.

You ask the doctors where you could find her, and apparently, she is a few wards down, they just put her in a bed and left her to rest. They don't know whether she has woken up, but she hasn't called for anyone.

You walk over, and knock on the door. No response. You decide to break the door open anyway.

You see Jessica awake, and she has curled up inside about 3 blankets on the bed. You can just see her eyes poking through.

"Ahhh.....fuck. Fuck. I'm sorry. I don't know. I didn't know what to do...I'm me. I think...just don't get any closer. My body feels all weird."

"Weird how? The Saint Element can help." You walk over to the bed.

"No. No! Don't get any closer! Back off!"

That sounds bad.

"Why? I didn't see anything wrong with you in the initial examination."

"It's not that! I mean, I can feel something on my back, but it's something else! Piss off! Get me Shian! Fei's dead but I need a Heavenly Empress! No men allowed!"

"I brought back Fei. I can get her if you like?"

"Yes! Wait no! She'll never get it the stupid virgin! Shit where the hell is Shian?"

"Probably travelling home right now. I don't understand the problem, please tell me what is wrong."

"No! Fuck off!"

A small opening appears in the duvets, and a laser beam shoots out at you.

"Alright, just don't complain if you starve or something."

You walk out and try and close the door, however your break-in earlier didn't do any favours, so you have to use the Spacial Element to shut it.

But that's not how the Life Element works. It manipulates life, it doesn't interfere with spiritual or inorganic matter. The best you could do would be boosting the body's recovery rate to treat the symptoms, but it's much better to rely on the Saint Element when dealing with spiritual afflictions. Aspirin does not cure possession by the devil, exorcism do.

As you train, you get the sense of the Dao creeping in. it looks like the form of a monstrosity. It looks like a man fused with a young girl.

"Well. You'll never get anywhere if you think like that! Jessica still has markings of the Evil Element, be very careful or you will break Jiang's poor heart if you get too close to Jessica, dear me, leave the assault on the Moon for too long and they'll get their cannon up and running again. Toodss!"

The Dao disappears, you aren't sure you can do much after that.

"Nothing, just keep going."

Right right. The main one you need would be best described as "Abstract Restoration". Which would mean it would work on the soul/spirit as well as the body. However I did say that because of the nat 100, some of the things that the demon did/was will stay forever. So you can't completely solve this one.

>Abstract Restoration
>Mental Restoration (my interpretation of esoteric illnessess
>AOE

Sound good to people?
>>
>>3803651
sounds good to me, and fo miller we should be able to fix it if they can provide a fire Jewel master witha strong skill, if we buff them they should be able to fix the iceberg
>>
WAIT! The reason the iceberg formed is because our skill caused a domain which injured and superseeded the spirit of the erth, if the earth can be seen as a giant cultivator andd our skill as an innjury to its Heavenly Energy then maybe the boosted greater restoration can heal it now that we got Abstract Restoration, we jsut need to heal the earths spirit in that area!
>>
>>3803652
Might as well bring Jiang along.
>>
>>3803656
not sure we can get away with taking a princess to a foreign nation like that, especially int eh middle of the war, we still in hot water with our bosses over all the recent clusterfucks
>>
>>3803655
That would take an ungodly amount of HE. Removing the "foreign body" and letting the area heal naturally would work better for now.
>>
>>3803658
i dont think it would work at all, we created a new source of Heavenly Energy and its producing monsters, we would need a fire attack wtih a domain to remove it. Besides with our buffing and set we kidna already ahve an ungodly amount of Heavenly Energy
>>
>>3803660
We have a pretty high amount of HE but nowhere enough to heal a part of a celestial body. Maybe at Heavenly God or Heavenly Jewel Change.
>>
>>3803651
This is fine.
>>3803655
>>3803660
Healing the world itself would take... a lot of heavenly energy.
Best to leave that for Heavenly God or Heavenly Jewel Change.
>>
>>3803651
Yes.
>>
well i guess our best bet if to suer buff a Fire jewel master, though i dont think Jiang, shes strong but miller should have someoen stronger, shes still only 2 jewels
>>
>>3803655
Nah. Fire Element. It isn't an injury per say, just a different domain, it just messes with the balance, the Earth can continue to operate and cultivate even with the other domain, it's like if a neighbour moves in. Also, it would work for about 3 minutes...before the Ice reforms. The only way you are doing this is with a Heavenly Emperor or above Skill that can reach similar heights. There is always the possibility of hiring someone with the Fire Element to come help and using the Saint Element on them.

.....................................................

You take to Medical, as ask if you can use your Saint Element their. The nurses see no reason why not to.

You find a lot of people from other countries, allied countries after the Moon-Pods devastated their homes. You use the Skill again and again, and you notice a change.

The wings which covered you gain a silver colour, you see them become much larger, enough to cover 3 beds at once, and when you use the Skill, you see people's minds become clearer, their expressions softening, people thank you as you leave, but you know they will just go back to war and get injured again.

With that done. You may want to call Fei to get Jessica out of that bed.

You think back to what Demon Hammer said, that any person you bring has to be brought by you, they would not provide any help. You do not think this is normal behaviour. Surely this wasn't a choice made by the parliamentarians in Miller? That would be counter intuitive.

>See Jessica, but bring Fei and your fish.

Alright. You head over to the same room as last time. The door has at least been fixed. You sense Jessica inside, she seems well.

You don't have a good medium for Shijiu Lian Yu to swim in, so you use your Water Element and contain them inside that. You see that some of them are very confused, they have never seen so much water in their lives! One of them doesn't want to move, instead he keeps prodding you. No matter, you have a job to do.

You call Fei.

"Hello! Who's speaking?"

"Zou, come to Jessica's temp room. I think that some of the demon remains in her and I don't want anything like last time to happen again."

"O-ok! Wait one minute!"

As you wait, you feel the prodding getting harder.

"What is it?"

You see it thrash about, it moves close to the ground, and start to move weirdly, however, you can see it trying to form letters in the pattern. Spelling Bixie.

"I don't have a body for her yet, it get's difficult sometimes. Tell her to be patient."

"It stops writing, but you can tell it is not happy."

Fei arrives, in night wear of all things, with a dressing gown to boot."

"Hi. I sleep like a corpse sometimes. What's all the fish for?"

"Protection. Cover me."

She takes that a little too literally and covers your eyes. It works anyway. Fei leads you in.

"Oh god you brought her why?! I just want to be left alone for a bit!"

"Sister! Zou believes some of that horrid obscene promiscuous thing is still left in you! He has come to fix that!"

"Don't get any closer! I don't want to fuck him!"

"Huh?!" Fei turns stock still, now's your chance! You activate the Skill, the silver wings stretching across her entire body. After the Skill ends. You use your superior strength to rip off Fei's hands to look at your handiwork.

Jessica sits there on the bed. Again, she looks normal, well, her one black eye has some...what looks like pink shades to it? Well, it's better than nothing.

"Wha? I. Well. I feel a lot better....uh...ignore that last bit okay?"

She gets out, smelling like she hasn't showered in two days and runs straight past you.

"I-I-I can't believe the nerve of her! Right that's it! Come back here! We agreed on this Jessica! He is J..."

You can't hear her after a while as she runs after Jessica, her voice fading, well, that was an experience.

"They say they only have pineapple!"

"For heaven's sake you can't even order pizza right! Ask for two larges with olives pepperoni red onion and mushroom!"

"Can you do two larges with pepperoni, olives, red onion and muchrooms p-please."

"Alright, I'll make it a special just for you, that will be 20 Gold, we accept payment on delivery. Where are you?"

"Dragon Lord's Palace, it's on top of a really big mountain past-."

"For the last time girl they know where we live I'm a regular!"

"O-okay Master. Please come soon!"

She ends the call. Huh. Pizza. Wait. That could have been a cry for help. She sounded quite scared there. At least the Dragon didn't hear you on the other end.

You buff your HE with your set on, boost your Agility, and run as fast as you can without crashing into any walls. You make it to the City streets when you look around a see a massive red beam shoot down from the sky, like last time.

Instead, you see it stop in mid air. You can feel it, time has stopped for it.

You see the King in full Consolidated Equipment holding the beam in place, however, he is straining. You see the remaining people, including the princesses, get out of the Palace, before he lets time flow again.

You see the entire Palace destroyed in front of you. Your room, the Elemental Research department. Then the King comes down to your level.

"Worry not. With your help. I might be able to reverse this, even if it is a Stage 4 Element. You can buff even the abstract yes? Well, I order you to buff my Heavenly Energy, then buff my very Element, so that I can over power the domain of the Destruction Element, you believe that the 4 Great Elements can counter it.

You try, you don your set, and buff his Heavenly Energy. Then to your surprise you actually complete his request. Though you don't feel any improvement from it. Like it is empty.

You see the Palace appear again, like it was never gone.

"Hahhahahahah! HAHHAHAHA! TAKE THAT KREYZAR! I CAN FINALLY DEFEAT YOU!"

The King is having a field day with this.

"My King! What about a second round?!"

"SEND THE SHIPS! WE NEED TO TAKE THAT CANNON DOWN AGAIN!"

"Of course Sir! I think it best if we fly the ship instead of teleport. We could blink right into enemy fire."

"Agreed. Lead the way."

The two of you get in. You sit in the cockpit, the same cannon attached as last time.

The two of you launch and fly up. You see other ships fly with you. You start to break into space, and you see the curve of the Earth. However. you can see the Moon to your left. You see a mass of red energy building in a massive tube coming out of the Moon. There's your target.

You spot something floating in the ether, a slime again, but this one has a Ruby armament on the front. You see a layer of Destruction Energy over it.

You fire at it. The energy of the blast pierces through the layer, and completely destroys the ship in a dazzling Water explosion. The water spreads out in thousands of droplets.

"Sir! More incoming!"

You see a tiny slime, possibly a support beast floating around, the main slime it was a part of defeated by something else. It dies with you ramming in to it.

You are getting very close, and thanks to your easy enemies, you are the closest.

The cannon looks like they carved a bunch of the dust and rock of the Moon, and forced it outwards in to space. You see the red light has almost gathered. Strange really, with how large it is, it should have snapped because of gravity, but it didn't.

Now then, how to take it down. Just from the sheer size of it you can tell your cannon will not make a scratch. You need a plan. You turn on the Radio.

"TO ALL UNITS, THIS IS THE COMMODORE. IGNORE THE CANNON AND ATTACK THE CITY. THE THING POWERING IT WILL COME OUT OF HIDING AND STOP THE CHARGE. ATTACK!"

Well then. You and a few others align as a group, you see that for the majority of the Moon, it looks normal,. but when you reach the dark side you see weapons of war and other military achievements. No houses or places of living. Makes sense, Shara said that they lived underground.

They are on different sides of the Moon, you can't see the cannon from here, so no. You can and will be using Dimensional Swap during this though as you shoot bits of the moon into the atmosphere.

>98 they fucked.

You see more of you join, and begin to fire. Your cannon doesn't actually shoot, but teleport. Other cannons do however shoot their ammunition.

Over the course of 10 minutes. The entire surface of the City is destroyed. Nothing is left.

"Dear Lord. What have we done?" Your co-pilot is in shock. No longer do their armaments sit there. No, instead, more craters."

You get a message over the Radio.

"THE SOURCE IS LEAVING THE CENTRE, I REPEAT, THE SOURCE IS LEAVING THE CENTRE, ALL UNITS EVACUATE TO THE LIGHT SIDE OF THE MOON."

You look down to see a red speck in the midst. You see red energy trailing off him. You can't tell what it looks like, but you see the energy very quickly rush out from him. Quite literally destroying the dust and debris the assault left behind.

You see your co pilot teleport the ship to the other side in time, but others are not so lucky, and their ships and souls are deleted. You can feel it.

You now face the cannon again.

"ONE LAST PUSH. WITH THE RED ENERGY GONE THE TWO TELESHIPS CAN WORK TO THEIR HEARTS CONTENT. VICE MARSHAL PLEASE TAKE OVER FROM HERE."

You hear Dr. Zhang Xi-Tze come through.

"Alright. I have Telekinesis. Shoot it first, then use Dimensional Swap to cause a chain reaction. We need to do this before that red fucker comes back. Shwei-Fa you can use anything you have."

>Roll 1d100 DC 70 to destroy the cannon. Best of three.

Picture of cannon included. Covered in things meant to represent destruction in some way.

>100 it gone, again

The 3 of you begin to work, you see it begin to be ripped apart by Zhang, with some help by Shwei-Fa. You complete the finishing touches by swapping the broken pieces with the rest of the cannon. Which is now just a broken mess of grey rock, with the Destruction Element nowhere to be seen.

>Due to the nat 100 Dimensional Swap is now 11 Stars, meaning some domain stuff, the skill itself doesn't change
>It now costs 35 HE
>You have one Special Evolution to use for it.

Player Choice
>Write-in for special evolution of Dimensional Swap.

"Alright we need to book it!"

The two of you have to switch controls, as Shwei-Fa doesn't have enough Heavenly Energy to make the teleport back home, but, as you are in a lower cock-pit, this takes some time. You manage to get back into the right seat and teleport as the red thing, now a lot more angry comes in to view, standing on the surface of the Moon, no breathing apparatus in sight.

You are back in the hanger. The cannon is destroyed again, but it may be a good idea to take up a position with the astro team to get a look at the Moon through the telescope they have, you could use Dimensional Swap without needing to get near!.

"ATTENSION ALL UNITS. THIS IS THE ALL-CLEAR, PLEASE STAY CALM."

Time to do something else then.

Btw, whenever I finish this quest, either by finishing the story and no post-game or just no activity, I have an idea for a new quest where I don't have to steal the ideas of one source, so it will be much more liberating.



>Swapping for unknown/unseen objects confirmed for Dimensional Swap.

You leave Shwei-Fa after completing general checks on the ship to do some cultivating, it has been a while...maybe your buffing can also help here? You summon your Angel of Death set, and get to work.

Rolling 1d2 for choice, 1 for yes, 2 for no.

This will make you a lot weaker than some characters by the end of the story, but, character-wise, it makes perfect sense. You are a child rushing towards any solution, you would take this easy option over the hard one because you need power as soon as possible. Good-luck in whatever happens.

Progress to the next Level:

You activate your buffing, but you realise very soon after that if you move forward, you will lose out on power later! You try and halt your progress, stop spinning the generators, something! Your Heavenly Energy tries to change the form of your first Generator, but you halt the process wit perfection! Dear Heaven on Earth, you must never try something like that again...

You are interrupted by Jessica slamming your door open, with no regard for a lock.

"Hey."

"Hello? I'm a bit busy here."

"Doesn't matter, come to the war room now. That's an order!"

"Yes Marshal!"

You stand and run with her, you notice that she is wearing different clothing, she always wore--questionable clothing, shorts, sleeveless stuff, but it looks like it shows a lot more skin now. You are not sure of the meaning of this.

In the War room, you see Dr.Zhang Xi-Tze, one man you don't recognise who is partially overweight and carrying a bruised briefcase, and one woman you also don't recognise who has distinctive tattoos on her arms and neck, showing the number "3" again and again.

"Lieutenant, I have brought you here as the second most powerful Teleship combatant. I and the Vice-Marshal have a plan."

Zhang picks up there.

"Yeah, we've noticed one big thing about the Slimes...they aren't all that strong, all things considered. I mean, even the big ones must only be around the 8th Jewel. So we are considering launching an assault, just like that. It would involve the entire fleet we have left bombarding the place, as it has no defences left, then dropping in forces on the ground to burrow within the Moon to kill the colonies with some special guns we have. Unfortunately. There are some problems with this. One, the only ground troops we have are those with the Life Element, we can like, link up two people as a unit for double the troops, but that can be tricky. Also. The red guy. We...don't know about that. He seems to be the source of the red energy. We have nothing for that and he'll be on guard. We are putting it to vote. Me, the Marshal, Head of Weapons Development and the Fleet Commodore and you. Raise your hands if you want to move forward with this plan, it will happen within two weeks at most."

You see Jesscia and Zhang raise their hands, the unknown man and woman don't.

>Don't

You don't raise you hand in the end. Jessica decides to end it there.

"I guess we're leaving it. Shang-Dua, Please explain why you voted to not take the initiative, do you not have confidence in your weapons?"

The overweight man responds. Quite deeply.

"Against the thing our people were talking about? Yeah. I am. Do you even remember what the energy stuff did to our Palace or has that Succubus made you so dumb that you can't even think back to a few hours ago? I may be ingenious, but I can't make a miracle. I will be developing better ships with the Vice-Marshal sure, but I have no confidence against an authority of the law that thing represents!"

With that comment he leaves in a huff. Jessica turns her attention to the woman. She has the same hair colour as Shwei-Fa, blackish at the top, but getting browner going down, all the way to the small of the back.

"What about you, Shwu-Fa? You scared?"

"Hmph. Concerned maybe. I lost nearly a third of my men to the initial blast wave of the Destruction Element. I am not going to risk it again. You may have toyed and controlled my life before, but you can't touch my fleet. Not with that brashness. Lieutenant. I am glad even a young man can have sense, pray tell. Why did you deny the Princess?"

"We do not yet possess a counter measure for the Destruction Element. I have something in the works for sure, but, it is not ready. I need the King, Demon Hammer and Her Highness to even begin. So, it could take a while."

Jessica looks pretty offended by this statement.

"Please! I can make something that works! A few days ago and you would have followed orders like a good boy but no! Not now! Even if we don't kill the main guy, we can knock out the pods and stop any future invasions or death! Isn't that what you want?"

"Not if it means we die in the process. I don't think I can revive people who die by the Destruction Element. It even cancels out the souls."

"Psh. You saw what my Father did! You can do it again!"

"Not reliably! Just..calm down. Think. We have time. I have time. We just need to think, prepare. There has been no other evidence of a tier 4 Element in our history! You may have lived far more of that than me, but you haven't seen anything have you?"

"Tch. Fine. If my Father hasn't been contacting the people you need I'll sort it out. I am not going to waste my life sitting here doing nothing whilst that thing gets stronger! Death is a lesson! I have learnt it! You have not!"

She leaves in harsh anger. Zhang leaves as well. He doesn't like awkward things like this. This leaves the Fleet Commodore and you together.

"Hey. Angel of Death. I have a question for you: What do you think your parents were like?"

>The truth... is that I don't know. I was an orphan for as long as I can remember; the only person I could call a parent was the Mama at the orphanage.
>...But I think they were normal people. They were probably killed by a beast.
>>
>>3805816
> Parents? I have no recollections of such a thing. In an orphanage, it's the whole staff that raises you, and even the older children play a part, so maybe they could be called my parents. Or maybe it's better to say I raised myself, after all. My biological parents? Probably too poor or too young or too stupid to raise a kid. I've seen it happen daily, back then.

I dont know why but that sounds really clunky to me, and kinda callous, we aint edgy we a good boi. Also we did not raise ourselves by any definition, the Mama from the orphanage did a shitton of work
>>
>>3805816 Oh boy, this could be fun.
"I don't actually know. I was raised in an orphanage, but I think they were either just normal people that died to some beasts, or were too stupid, poor or young to have a kid, like lots of kids in the orphanage. I was raised my the Matron of the orphanage, my elders, and the other staff. That was enough to get me where I am now. On your end. How did you come to work for the Dershwa Clan?"

"Hahaha! From one personal question to the next. My case is complicated. I won't bore you with the full story, but basically...it was my only choice, I asked you about your parents because you seem alright. I...never even had parents, not even biological ones, so I want to learn about what makes a good one. I want to have kids you know?"

"Ok. Uh. Can I ask you a few questions in turn?"

"Sure, fire away."

"Between you and me, did you feel like Jessica's plan had any chance to work?"

"For destroying the Slimes? Maybe, but not the red guy. Jessica h-has always been very quick to try stuff and worry about the consequences later. I am living proof of that. So I trust her with her brainy ideas and her research, but not with military. She got the role because of her position as the King's daughter, nothing else."

"For the war, right now my focus would be to raise my abilities, especially Heavenly Energy Control. Any tips?"

"No idea. My Jewels are Physical, even then they're weird. I can only say that you have to think about subjugating the world around you more. We call them Heavenly Gods for a reason. Even if I don't have the Elements of one, I can reach the same physical heights."

1/2
>>
"How much do you trust a collaboration with Demon Hammer and Her Highness?"

"Ehhh. I mean, I was worried about you and Zhong talking, because of your Elements messing with your mind, but you worked okay from what I hear. However, in terms of philosophy, they run completely different countries. Democracy vs Complete Control. Demon Hammer will probably let her do her own thing until she tries to take you over. Then I think you can expect trouble. I dodged a bullet with no Elements I think."

"Huh. Last question: Do you know where exactly the Dragon Palace is? A friend of mine lives there."

"Huh? I mean, that was not was I was expecting. You have been to the jungle before right? Go further in, then south-west and you should reach a section of huge mountains. Dragon Palace is on the peak of the tallest one. You can't fly near it. The only way to get there is by climbing it, for us at least. Dragons can fly there, so the strong Dragonmen live there for security. You can think of the beast tribes all living in and around that jungle. There's the mountains, the jungle, the ocean and some artificial flatland.

"Thank you."

"Thanks. See you later. 32 trusts you and that's good enough for me."

She leaves with that statement.

>Go see Shan-Bai for recovery help

You head to Medical to see Shan-Bai, who must have been terrified earlier. She can't run to evacuate, so someone must have carried her around.

You find her standing up, no wheelchair, and using two crutches, she is hobbling about, using her feet as support. The crutches themselves look like those for a child, but are reinforced. The doctor and the nurses are not here.

"Zou? Is that you? Hello!"

"Where are the doctors?"

"Ah, well, with me out of the wheelchair, they decided to give me a bit of independence. What do you think?"

"It's progress, but I can make it better."

You don your set, and buff her Stamina again.

"Guah! I...I feel...so off!"

It seems this has had a different effect than intended.

"It's okay. Just work with it, we both know your body can take it."

"Ok! Ok! I can do this! I killed a w-whole fleet of boats before. I can do this!"

Over the course of an hour or so, you see her lose the left crutch, until the buff wears out.

"Hah. Hah. Oh heavens. Oh heavens. I, I need a break."

She sits down on a wall. That's when you hear a knock.

"Hello? Is Zou here?"

It's Jiang.

"Can I have some training now please?"

"Okay. Shan-Bai, are you Ok to be left alone?"

"Y-yes! I can walk now and everything! Good luck!"

You head over with Jiang.

"Do you want to start with Heavenly Energy Control?"

"No, something physical. Endurance!"

"Ok." You wonder if your buff can apply here?

"Hey, do you want something to drink?"

"Yes please. I don't think any more training is going to have an effect."

"OK!"

She gives you a bottle of water, she has her own. You drink the whole thing in one gulp.

You can feel your Life Element trying to counteract something in the water.

"You know, with the attack today....everything else...the way things are looking, both of us won't be alive much longer, so I came up with a plan!"

"Where are we? Why am I bound? Why are you doing this?!"

"Shhshshshshsh. I had Fei put some special stuff she can make with her new Wind powers into a bottle, and hey presto! You're all ready and neat."

"Again. Explain!"

"That's enough complaining out of you."

She stuffs something in your mouth, and ties it behind your neck.

"Night night! You'll be awake and normal in the morning trust me!"

There's something in the cloth, you feel yourself slipping away, but not entirely. You see...

You see a lot, you can tell you don't have any of your stuff, just some simple clothes. Jiang needs light to see as well, so she puts some fire to the side. This allows you to see what is happening to you.

You didn't learn much in the orphanage, but, as a place to teach you the basics of how to act as an adult. It worked. You know how children are made. Jiang is forcing you through this. Thanks to the drugs pulsing through your system, you can't feel any part of your body. It has gone to sleep.

You stay awake for a good 3 hours, but, as someone specialising in Stamina, Jiang keeps going, you fall unconscious soon after. But you are aware of what she did to you. Trust is important, she ignored all of that. You two were close, but you are her are both too young to move forward like this...

>Sleep

"Ahhh! Now that was good! I can feel him all over me! I managed to get my third Jewel as well! Bye Zou!"

Jiang leaves the room, taking your gag with her, you are awake, you are aware. You are still very tired and don't bother with screaming at her. You are still bound as before.

You can't use any of your Skills, you can cultivate and move your Heavenly Energy about, but that's about it.

Given teh influence of Saint I would expect Zou to at a minimum feel very betrayed and upset, as in don't want to see her again betrayed and upset. Like Jiang is clearly insane, and we should hit her with the mental greater restoration as soon as we can, but at a minimum I doubt we will ever be ok with training with her again, or the dancing or any of that.
>>
>>3806171
> You feel... pissed. Angry. It wasn't the act, you'd have probably jumped at the occasion if she asked, like the hormonal teenager you are: no, it's the lack of choice, being bound. How was this different from what the Succubus did? Is this how everyone thinks? That so long that one has the ability, they can force anyone? Maybe it's me who's wrong -- Jiang, Her Highness and the Succubus, to them, it is natural. So, the world is divided into those who command and those that obey... After all, most of my decisions since I've left the orphanage were forced, like joining the palace, joining the military, dying three times, this continuous loop of training and failure... None of this was really a choice, wasn't it?

I think you're underestimating the mentality of the cultivation world -- such things and much worse are daily occurences, what more done by royalty on a commoner. I doubt Zou would fault Jiang much, maybe even come to respect her, since "survival of the fittest" is the paramount law. If we were stupid enough to fall for it, it's our own fault for being too powerless. Hell, most Xianxia protagonists would just take "revenge" over and over again.
>>
You try and think this through. If she had asked you, maybe you would have accepted. She looked nice, she, well, she tried to make you feel comfortable. Jiang is insane, by any measure, whether through her lack of confidence, or her nature. She did something unforgivable to you. Fei even helped by the sound of it! You knew she was an idiot, but callous as well? Some plot to get the two of you hitched? At least Jiang got what she wanted! But you had to suffer!

Well, with this. No more dancing, not with her, no more trusting! She's just like the Succubus! A controlling bitch! So what if she wasn't raised as a Jewel Master! She still acts like a possessive tyrant! Was any of this even your choice? No, you had to move to the Palace, it was only expected! Did you have to die? No! It was just because only you could do something! Everything! You are just at the whim of those around you!

Well no more! You know Miller is more free. Your Master is there. He hasn't forced you to do anything! His cabinet maybe, but not him, and what of Long! He controls everyone's destiny with his Element, whether they like it or not! It's your turn now!

"I'm going, and I'm never coming back!"

You are the god of your world, you don't have to listen to anyone again, not if they treat you like this!

btw i want to use Greater Restoraion on Jiang before we leave, cure her insanity so she understands what she did and why we are leaving. Also it should make her sane enough she doesnt try to declare war on Miller to get us back
>>
>>3806243
That's a bit too light, to just have her jump to guilt or whatever directly. Let her come to us if she wants to -- we shouldn't meddle anymore. After all, even curing others of their insanity robs people of their choice. Who are we to say she's wrong? If we want to really deny her way we shouldn't push our thoughts onto others.
>>
>>3806259
we dont control what greater restoration considers insanity, the technique does a conceptual healing of the mind and not to what we choose. If you consider Mental Restoration a denial of free will then all forms of mental care would be as well.
>>
>>3806259
I rather she go directly to guilt than have her raging around like an idiot in teh middle of this war, we still need to deal with Long in order to stop the moon people destruction plan
>>
>>3806264
Compulsive mental care without the patient's consent is a denial of free will. She has to understand that what she did is wrong by herself.
>>
>>3806264
Using the Skill on her would result in her realising what she has done, and driving her to suicide in grief in trying to get you back. She trusted you from the beginning. You remember the conversation where she said she couldn't feel her emotions changing? Well she interpreted your advice as to go with the flow, and let the Fire burn where it wants.

thing is i dont wanna leave for Miller, especially since shes likely now pregnant. This whole situation is fucked up, but shes like this cause her element drove her insane and the war has had everyone in such high alert that noone even noticed she would do something like this. We thought that by telling her to direct her passions we could help her and shit went south. But I dont wanna leave for Miller, I think maybe we can make the situation tennable, its gonna require healing her and getting her soe actual fucking mental care beyond super powers so she doesnt kill herself in grief at having raped Zou but still i think tis possible

You only finish, after someone bursts through the door. The light blinds you at first, but then you see Shian. Horrified.

"Ah god dammit! I knew I smelt something off. Wait their Zou. I'll get you out."

"You'll just betray me like the others! Fuck off you bestiality maniac!"

"Oh now you're just begging for it!"

You see her summoning her Consolidated Equipment, the tendrils and limbs forcing you down as others cut the ropes. She covers your mouth, not again!

"Now. I am going to keep you here, for a bit. I need to tell you something important, before you try and do something a bit too rash."

"MMMMPH! HMMMPH!"

"I. Was. Just. Like. You. Once. Why do you think I talk to monsters so much huh! People are broken sure, but look at me now! Forget the guy that did it to me, he's dead! I am a Heavenly Empress now! This moment does not define you and it never will. I will bring Jiang here, she can explain her side of the story! Whatever you do, do not tell our Father, he will kill someone, then disappear. Just let her have her chance, she is young and probably doesn't know any better!"

I drew the skyline of where the parliamentary building is, the rest of the City is hidden. People there have the philosophy of what's the point in not going all in? So they build neon things like that, hence the demonic inspired court. A big joke because of who the Prime Minister is, other buildings are available. It was fun making this, I could have some laughs in the absurd things you would never see in the concrete jungle that is London.


>>3807306
It quite honestly depends on one factor, which is: Can Tsushiri manage to establish dominance over Demon Hammer in time? If she can't, Demon Hammer will win through the death of all of his opponents. If she can't, then she will be killed first, followed by the Beast Tribes, who only have 2 Heavenly Gods belonging to the Dragon and Bird Tribes, it will then be the question of how long the King can last against Demon Hammer, after all, no matter how much he stops time/reverses time, Demon Hammer will over power him, the King's Heavenly Energy running dry, and his strength not being able to compete. To conclude, either Demon Hammer or Tsushiri, on a coin toss.

"Fine! What are you going to do with me while you are gone? Tie me up? Contain me like her?"

"For a bit, yes, you are volatile, wait here."

You feel a force to your pressure points, and you fall unconscious, you wake up again in full light. You see Shian, carrying Jiang in tow with her Consolidated Equipment limbs.

"See? I brought her."

"Hmmph! Leh mfe oh"

"Not until you promise to show him your face!"

You see the limbs slide off Jiang's face. You couldn't see them in the candle light earlier, but there is a chain of glowing red diamonds stretching vertically across her left forehead to her eye. Shian covers her mouth again. It gives you such sweet catharsis to see her like this, bound, in pain.

"Now, I'm no genius, but that does not look normal to me. Any ideas Saint?"

"I don't know, does it even matter?"

"I think so. Just throw some ideas at me."

"Evil Element?"

"Nah, then there would be blood."

"Something with her Fire?"

"No flames. How about the Destruction Element?"

"No, why do you think we destroyed the cannon?"

"Well, maybe he doesn't need it anymore-"

That's when you feel everything stop, almost like with the Dao, except your vision goes completely red. Jiang, Shian, the walls all have different shades of red. You hear a voice in your mind, it sounds artificial, metallic, like it is not the real source of the voice.

"Hello. My. Name. is Kreyzar. Consider. This. A. Warning. I. Can. Stop. Any. Plot. You. Have. To. Kill. Me....Not. Only. This. One. But. The. Stupid. One. Too. Her. Jewels. Are. Annoying. So. I. Destroyed. Them. Goodbye."

You take a look at Jiang again. He has done something to her? To you? To Fei?!

The red vision disappears.

>Try to stay calm, make sense of what Kreyzar said and figure out what to do next. Tell Shian what just happened.

Alright. Calmness, wrath is a sin. You must think!

You see Shian has broken out into a cold sweat.

"Wha-what was tha-did you see that?!"

"The red?"

"The red! Oh God! Fei!"

She runs off, with Jiang in tow. At least you have a target now, and yes, you may not be able to stop him, it, thing, but you can kill him, you are sure of that. You hear an alarm sound.

"WARNING. THAT WAS A DRILL. I REPEAT, THAT WAS A DRILL, PLEASE REMAIN CALM. THAT WAS A TEST FROM THE ELEMENTAL DEPARTMENT. PLEASE REMAIN CALM."

"Oh no it wasn't" Dear Dao did he talk to everyone?

"ANGEL OF DEATH. PLEASE REPORT TO MEDICAL, FOR AN EMERGENCY ASSIGNMENT."

That sounds like Fei. You run as fast as you can, ignoring most of the people in the department and running past, using anything people tell you to find her. You find Fei, awake, in bed, with a crowd of people surrounding her, checking her wrists. Shian is not here yet.

"Can you summon your Jewels?"

"No-I-I don't know what's wrong-I can't feel them. I can't feel my Heavenly Energy, oh, Dao. Father! Zou! Where are you?!"

"I'm here. I'm here."

You try to push the last few hours and the night past you, this is more important.

"P-please. Do something. They--they just shattered! Gone! I-I can't get them back!"

Success!

You funnel your Saint Attribute into her spiritual anatomy, you see all the usual bits, but also a solid core of Heavenly Energy where her heart would be. Oh, so that is what the chamber is for.

You start to heal it, you can see traces of the Destruction Element left behind, and you begin and succeed to purify those. When you finish, an extraordinary amount of Heavenly Energy rushes through her system, and to her wrists, where 11 pairs of Jewels form.

You can see Fei is still awake from this. You hear something approaching the door.

"Daughter!"

It is he King.

"Everyone apart from Zou, leave us!"

They do so.

"Fei, are you alright?"

"Y-yes, Zou got my Jewels back."

"Oh thank heavens! Zou, we need to talk. In private." He takes you outside.

"Tsushiri doesn't believe a word I am saying. She is refusing to come here to Dershwa. I am not sure who else has seen that red vision, but, it will not be everyone. I can see now why he did this. Trying to break our spirits by destroying my daughter's Jewels. Hmph! I will try and contact her again. In the meantime, I need you to get Zhong on board. He is telling me he can't leave until that ravine has gone for political reasons, so I need you to go there and get rid of it."

You think back to that night. This is that girl's daughter. Does he even know? Do you think he should know? It matters little, you have a job to do. You leave then, so that Fei and the King can talk together.

Kreyzar, the way I see it the dude basically druged Jiang into doing and drugged Fei into helping. I see it as the same as Evil Element influencing Jessica into a succubus.

You need the Creation Element if you want the job done properly. If you don't mind Jiang forgetting about what she did to you and becoming slightly weaker, i.e, loosing a Jewel pair temporarily. You need Long's help.

>Go see Jiang

You call Shian.

"Where is Jiang?"

"Prison. She still has her Jewels. Where is Fei?"

"Medical, with her Father. I got her Jewels back."

"Fuck. What if he destroys yours? We'll be pretty fucked."

"Yeah, but I don't think he has complete control over it, so there's that."

You end the call and run to the Prison. The guards know who you are here for at least, but not why. Doesn't matter.

You find Jiang bound, the red mark showing as it was before, but leaking energy. Jiang is unconscious, probably done by Shian.

You try to use your Saint Element through the bars, but, unlike last time, nothing happens. You don't know what to do. Unless. If Kreyzar only destroys stuff, then maybe with the mixture of the 4 Great Elements, you could create some way of making her not...do that, again. You don't know if her actions have made her pregnant or not, but you can't let him destroy another thing of yours. Not again!

You go back to your room, terrified at the implications of today, but you have a plan.

You wake up to the sensation of the Dao. A lanky, tall man with messy hair staring back. Blue hair no less.

"Hey man. You ever, like, wondered about Hell? Pretty fucked up right? Man. Imagine if you could go to it, like, right now, and it was a real place, like, physical...oh, wait. You can. Huhuhaha...."

You snap back. You have a lot to think about, but mainly, training. You think back to the moment you made an extensive leap in your domain, you feel like you can't harness much anger to do it again, but now you have the general principle, you can make some effort to replicate it.

You finish, not the happiest man. With a knock on the door. It couldn't be much worse than that...night, so you think just letting them in would be fine.

"Come in."

You see Sun-Di walk through.

"Hello. I have come not to fight you, but with a question."

"Go on." This could be interesting, the last you heard from her was her being in the Elemental Research department.

"I struggle to cultivate now. I want to be strong, yet I have only 9 Jewels. To move forward, I need my Heavenly Core. I would like your help in making it please."

"What do I get in return?"

"I can offer you anything you ask for, this means the world to me, and if you help me. I can one day give you the world."

You see the amazonsess kneel. Her 9 pairs of Jewels glittering. She is larger than most people, but not larger than Demon Hammer or the Dragon Lord.

Unless you have a way for me to train so that I'd get to Master Heavenly Energy Control in, let's say, a month, I fear I won't be of any use against Kreyzar.
>>
>>3807597
That's a big waste of a once-in-a-lifetime favor. You lack greed and ambition!
>>
>>3807601
you are askiing her for how to train Control, we got our buffing all we need is to succeed on it once aadn we will reach Master control. My think might be minor but at leats its something we actually need hekp with, your thing is something we can achieve in an afternoon if we get a bit lucky with the rolls
>>
>>3807601
also we need to fix the iceberg so demon hammer will get involved in making creation element
>>
>>3807594
>"Well... I really need to get strong, and fast, by which I mean I need to get to Master level in Heavenly Energy Control in a month's time. If you can arrange it I could really use a good trainer."
>>
>>3807604
If we need need a Fire Element User we can just find one on our own and have Bixie possess them. We can't depend on the gacha-like success of the buffing, we need power and we need it fast.
>>
>>3807607
PEOPLE WE CAN ACHIEVE MASTER IN A COUPLE DAYS NOT A MONTH
>>
>>3807609
bixie needs someone on the emperor level to posses them, anything else and the body wont be able to handle it, ffs this is fucking retarded we have a fucking nation willing to help with this and we can easily achieve master control on a couple days unless the dice fuck us i dont get what you dont understand
>>
>>3807609
if she helps us find the Fire Master then we dont have to do it ourselves and we can dedicate those actions to trianing control, for the love of god we dont need a trainer for HE control, all we need is one instance of the buff triggering and with a Bo3 thats good odds, the trainer wouldnt give that high a buff
>>
As a QM "hot take". Going for something with more permanent impact will be better, namely, not someone to help with HEC, which you have an OK chance of buffing youself. You could always ask for a favour.
>>
>>3807614
Even then we would still need help to reach Divine to fuse Elements, plus, again, just asking for a Fire Element User is a waste. Ask to borrow a battalion then. To be made 100-man commander. Something useful in the long run!
>>
>>3807617
would the Fire Master searching thing be a good use of the favour? especially since Miller has said we have to bring whatever helpers we need ourselves
>>
>>3807617
You know what? I'll change it to
> Ask her to aid you in your journey to the Dragon Palace.
>>
>>3807619
after we reach master we can buff ourselves more reliably and even then we outright hav QM word that the HEC trainer thing is not a decent use of this compared to soemthing with more impact the HEC trainer thing is a complete waste and would be the single dumbest decision we have made since making the iceberg
>>
>>3807620
No, I have a plan for that, no rolls needed. You have a quite high position in the military and you have friends in high places like Dr. Xi-Tze.
>>
>>3807622
we havent even called Yianyue to see if she actually needs help or jsut wanted to talk to us, what journey? Actually how about we compromise and jsut leave it as an unspecified favor int eh future? cause otherwise we gonna keep arguing non stop
>>
>>3807625
kk thx was legit getting worried about that cause every other action seems to be HEC training rather than dealing with the actual problems with time limits that surround us
>>
>>3807626
She definitely wants help.

Voting is going to last 5 mins more.

ok given that i want to ask for an unspecified favor that we can prob use for teh Dragon thing. I still wanna call her to see what she needs help with

"Do you know of the Dragon Palace, on top of a mountain?"

"Yes. Do you wish to go there?"

"Yes, but , not right now. I have a friend there who could be in trouble, but there is something closer to home that is more at stake."

"I understand. I will begin my condensation of my Liquid Heavenly Energy now."

She plonks down on the floor, the wood an metal creaking from the weight of her muscles.

like dont get me wrong am loving this quest, but it feels like we are on a constantle scramble to fix shit going wrong like we ar ethe only competent individual int he fucking world, its fun but jfc its starting to feel like even our wins get turned into more problems. Jiangs entire situation, Dragon sis aparently being in serious trouble, The fucking moon, now we try to help someone and FUCKING EVIL HAPPENS. Hell even healing Shan Bai has now resulted in a poor depressed saint beast stuck in our pocket dimension thing. I think the only thing we have done that ahsnt resulted in 2 or 3 more crisis for us to solve was giving our bro a consolidated equipment set

>>3807674
she was raped and now is into beasts cause shes unable to trust humans, kinda opened up to us about it after Jiang raped us

This is depressing to realize. Maybe some day when Zou has solved literally every problem in existence he can settle down for five minutes.

originally he was supposed to be able to settle down by dancing with Jiang and she was forcing him to at least relax for a coule hoours a week, but moon jackass ruined that and now the one relaxing thing he had in his life is tainted forever and jsut another crisis for him to solve
>>
>>3807679
I have been rushing, because I start University next week. I can't and probably won't run after that point. I want to finish this to as much of an extent as possible. I am sorry if this is rushed, that's because it is. by design, this was supposed to run for an in-game time of one year, but, unlike so many on this site. I am not a NEET. I will miss you all I am sure, but from next week, the quest either will stop running, or, will only run on Sunday, and even then, infrequently. Running through term time might have been possible if it weren't for a sleep condition, I get tired more easily, and I get less sleep. I could have had the energy to run, but I won't. I feel tired now. I will feel horrible then. You can consider this my good-bye for Sunday. This quest is unlikely to finish.

Please feel free to roll again if no-one else does in the next 5 minutes.

>>3807689
dang, gonna miss this a lot, though i guess that exlains the constant scramble that has been zhous life. then again this is the middle fo a war so the scrambling makes sense. I just wish some of Zhous victories got to at least remain victories rather than be twisted and broken into soemthing to hurt him with.

I mean, the philosophy of a Saint is like this.

"Charity and kindness is the way to lead your life, I must help those in need."

However, charity is not kind, especially in Wuxia/Xianxia.

"Give a man to fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for the rest of his life."

Zou is learning, through his own interpretation of the Dao, that whilst he wants good and charity to work, evil and the implications of that are also the Dao, and the world will keep the balance any way possible. You can see his trials as fighting back against 15000 years of reversed time the Dao wishes to pay comeuppance for, you have to deal with it, but those awful things still happen to the people you help. This all ties in to the conflict between Long and Kreyzar. You choosing Saint at the beginning allowed me to craft a world where you could do more than: collect big powers, go to moon, win, and allowed me to show you the consequence of going against the Dao, like Long has, but also the necessity of him doing so.

>Writing now for 92, sorry about the other stuff.
>>
>>3807707
so the reason everything Zou does goes to shit so often is because of the accumulated karma caused by constant time reversals caused by Long, and Zhou is effectively battling 15000 years of that karma every tiem he does good? And this is only happening in this timeline cause we got Saint, otherwise the karma wouldnt have been so concentrated on Zhou as an escape valve for all the evil accumulated in the Dao by the reversals? Worst part is that this is not gonna stop Zhou fom trying to do good cause due to being of the Saint element doing good is part of his Dao
>>
that sounds like the kind of truthbomb that Dao is gonna drop on Zhou after another trips of God
>>
how close are we to quads of fortune? is it a fishing time?

Success! Also, Shain and 666

You use your Element to funnel it into her Jewels and her chamber, you see a dense liquid begin to form, and a small dot of solid Heavenly Energy form in the chamber. You help this along by spinning it, the force bringing more Heavenly Energy together until a sphere the size of the heart forms, with engravings of mountains and fists on it.

"Hah HAH! HAHAHA! I did it! Thank you! Thank you!"

You see 10 pairs of Jewels on her wrists.

"I'm gonna go fight Jessica now! Collect your help later weak boy!"

She runs off without a word from you in edgewise. Then you see Shian at the door instead, looking a bit sheepish. As always, all of her body is covered in black. A black fabric coat, black skinny jeans. Black shirt. The only thing not black about her is her skin, which is chalk white. Ever since that night, you can't bear to look at her for too long. She is the most physically developed one, and all it can remind you off is that night, and it disgusts you.

"Uh. Hey. I wanted to talk to you about something. Can I come in?"

"Sure."

She closes the door, and plops down, checking for assistants.

"You know what I told you about, in Jiang's room? Well. I have to tell you. I was lying a bit. Ever since then, it haunts me."

She takes off her coat to reveal arms which are still injured, the marks look old, much older than the rest of her body.

"I can't share this kind of stuff, with anyone really, so I was wondering, as a comrade, a survivour, if you will, that I tell you what happened to me, a Princess, the second Princess of all things."

QM, if you have to stop, it's fine. You could also end with a "End of Book I" twist on Sunday and then pick up next summer. Unless I find a job (press "X" to doubt) I'll probably be there. And hey, maybe if half of my free time isn't completely sucked up by this quest I'll finally start that Quest I wanted to QM but was way too lazy and scaredy-cat to start.
>>
>>3807874
Oh. Well. I was scared too, then I realised that if I would enjoy reading it in any capacity, other people would too, even if only 3. My job is nothing spectacular, I have spent 2 years, since I was 16 working in an elderly people's home as part of the catering staff and other capacities, it is low paid, and intensive on body mind and soul, as every month or so, someone else would leave us, whichever way it happened, but I am the type of person who is lazy when I am not working, so I wanted to give myself something to do in my free time that if I stopped, I would feel guilty about, this was that, also, you can use your job, even lower class ones, as a building block, my experience in working with people with a high level of responsibility and duty of care gives me avenues with teaching and care home management. I wish you the very best of luck with your Quest.

>Hear the story.

"Please. I guess you know mine."

"Not all of it. So, there's a reason, more than one, why our Father was so protective of Jiang. When I was her age. I didn't have my Jewels, I got them at 15, a bit late, but it mattered little. So, I was out training, I was working as one of the Hunters in the Cursed Forest, no bodyguards and everything, when...I was attacked...they had 1 Physical Jewel, but it was enough...he tore through me. It hurt. I hated my dad for letting me go, I hated my sisters for not being there. I hated my bodyguards for not being there. When dad found out. He was furious, but, we never found out the culprits name, so, I never got to kill him. I am 240. Physical Jewel Masters live to maybe 200 at 9 Jewels, so he died of old age, but, I can't ever see myself getting married. The man would take one look at my wounds, and hate me. Whenever I try to think of my husband, I would only think of that day, so I can only see monsters as different to that, even female ones, they are further from him, from the real monster. Tell me, Saint, it has been only a few days since you were violated, since Jiang was violated by Kreyzar, how do you think you will cope with that I haven't, even after 226 years, I haven't. The proof of that is on me, but you? It is in your nature to forgive. Even now as we talk. I shunned you from taking more Spatial Skills, but you seem to have forgiven me, for whatever reason. How will you cope with that day?

>Write-in for Zou's feelings on what he thinks he will do, and what he will try to do to consolidate the feeling of his first time, and the 499 years of life he has ahead of him.
>>
>>3807905
>I blame the one responsible, Kreyzar destroyed part of Jiangs mind to make her do this, I can forgive Jiang by thinking of both of us as victims of Kreyzar, and I can deal with that because I know that I am doing everything that I can kill Kreyzar and help those I care about. I don't know if I can ever look at Jiang the same way, but at least I dont blame her for what happened. Also... you are right, it's in my nature to forgive, my element guides me to forgive and help. Elemental influence is truly terrifying, I think I have managed to modify one of my skills to heal mental traumas and maybe even mitigate influence, but I am scared of using it on myself, if I remove the Saint element influence on my mind, will I be crushed by trauma? By all the death and pain I have seen? Will I hate Jiang and wish her dead if my element doesn't affect me anymore? Will I even want to help people anymore? I have centuries of life ahead of me, and with Saint and Life there is a good chance that I will live even longer than that, I don't want to spend all that time filled with hate. I don't think I could stand it.
>>
>>3807905
> "I don't feel angry. Hell, right now, I'm only pissed at Kreyzar because of Fei and Jiang, not about me. I feel... Sad. This world, the nature of take or be taken, the nature of power... You're a Princess, and no offence, but what happened to you could have been easily prevented. It was an oversight on the King's side. But it happens everyday, every moment, to other girls and boys who do not have Jewels, do not have bodyguards. It's the larger world that is messed up, a world without retribution or control of the darkest feelings of an individual. As a Saint, I feel it. I felt Jiang's fear. I feel the sin all around unchecked, seemingly without order. Tell me, right now, how many people are going through misery? As a Saint, one with so much power and righteousness, what I can I do? How do I feel? Well, I feel tired."
>>
>>3807937
oh yeah i like that, can we combine your tired thing with my bit about being afraid of what will happen to Zhou if he ever loses the influence of Saint on his mind?
>>
>>3807940
Sure. I will try my best.
>>
>>3807940
I don't know. I feel like my Zou understand and is capable of hate: especially agaisnt Kreyzar he'd feel a very visceral disgust, wishing for his elimination. While yours totally buys in the "turn the other cheek" mentality. To be fair, my Zou would be in Miller getting drunk, flirting with bunny girls and betting by now, but hey, that's how life goes.
>>
>>3807956
My version is pretty much Zhou focused on killing Krey and not blaming Jiang, like i outright say hes functional right now cause he knows hes doing his best to try to secure a way to kill krey and protect those he cares about
>>
>>3807956
honestly i feel like you would have been much happier if we were playing Evil Element Zhou, that would be a murderhobo that flirts with anything with soemthing resembling a pulse

This man gets it, living the life in the endless party that is Miller night-life. The true successor to Demon Hammer! That's it. if I get some spare time, that's gonna be my next spin off thread, you begin as Zou when he awakens, the Strength and Evil Element Jewels to his name!

"I feel less angry at Jiang, just tired. I have a visceral hate for Kreyzar, he ended something special. and there is no telling what else he has done throughout time. I am doing everything in my power to kill him, once and for all. This world seems broken, there could be thousands of stories like ours all over the world, and I can't do a damn thing to stop them. I suppose it's more of my Element's influence, my Lightning makes me quick to react, Life makes me and others want to live, Spatial...well, one day I want to explore the stars, Wind and Water I am not sure about, but Saint? I have a way of...restoring mental and soul damage, and, if I try hard enough, I could wipe out my Elemental influence, but, this could mean I could hate Jiang, or Fei, or lose my mind thinking about all the things i have done, or other people have done, same for you I guess. I could remove that bad feeling from you, but you would lose who you are, and I don't think I can do that. As a Saint, I feel it. I felt Jiang's fear. I feel the sin all around unchecked, seemingly without order. Tell me, right now, how many people are going through misery? As a Saint, one with so much power and righteousness, what I can I do? How do I feel? Well, I feel tired. I don't want to spend all that time filled with hate. I don't think I could stand it"

You hear and see Shian force her fist down into the floor in rage.

"Dammit!"

She starts to sob.

"I can't just stop. I hate it so much, the distrust, the anger, the fear, but what can I do in the end? Nothing! Jiang and you were getting closer every day. Me? Well, my physical urges were met, but me as a person? I can't stand it either. Please, let us help each other, someday."

"Okay."

Which is weird, because I usually dislike the murderhobo mentality. I guess I just would have wanted something in the middle of Super Saint Zou and Kill 'Em All Zou. A bit less wimpy, maybe? Someone more willing to stand up and say "that's enough, I'm outta here" and "I'll do things MY way".

Evil is like Saint in only one respect, it is all about dominance. You would hate being under someone as you would be the embodiment of Sin, mainly Pride and Envy. Demon Hammer focused this into Wrath and Lust instead, for he treats the people of his country more like opportunities than people. Voting means conflict, conflict inspires growth, growth means stronger people to fight, which means he gets stronger, this inspires more voting. The situation is the same for the ravine, his country will end if it doesn't go, but the longer it remains, the stronger monsters come out of it and the more he can fight. There's also the bit that HE CAN TURN INTO A LITERAL DEMON WHENEVER HE WANTS. The Evil Element, like the other 4 Great Elements, has its downsides. Trust me, so does the Destruction Element. Physical Jewels are no exception to this, just in a weaker capacity. You'll find out more later.

You see the whole room turn red and dark red, like streaks of blood, you see eyes on the walls start to form.

"Z-zou? Are you there?"

"Here, just stay calm these things are normally weak."

"Wait, you've experienced this before?! You're 14!"

Then you see the eyes let out discharge, discharge which forms into Jiang, smiling.

"Hello! Last time felt sooooo good, why don't we try again? Like the lovers we are..teehee! Hopefully you won't die like the Mama or those Hunters...useless things in the end, they left you, whilst I am still here. You can trust me, tru-!"

You can't help but see Kreyzar in all of that, so you draw Saint's Radiance, and slice it in half vertically, a guttural scream forming from her as a body of worms falls to the ground and decomposes, leaving only a Core. You see Shian shouting to your right.

"AHHHHH!"

*Crushing sound*

You see a new hole in your floor as a mass of black tentacles now resides in it.

"S-sorry, I, I just, saw h-him. You know?!"

"Yeah, me too, I just figured out what my Water does."

"What?"

"I can accept absurd situations very quickly. Just leave for now, if they got in, it means the room is cursed. I need to purify it."

"OK! Thanks for listening to me!"

You see her run off, into safety. You focus your Jewels on your smaller domain, and look for the source, a weird plot in the air, like the very Dao had been deleted from it...oh god, this was him again wasn't it!?"

>Roll 1d100 best of three DC 91 to purify it, if you succeed, Heavenly Energy Control will increase by 50, due to your want to control everything Kreyzar has touched.

As I said, the abstract. We're talking: The need to breathe, or, the need to eat, or, the need to die, he can destroy all of those. He can delete specific parts of you, perhaps your anger, and then treat you like garbage and you won't care. The creation Element is just as absurd...but in your case, comes with a major drawback...you need 4 people to use it, and, and, you all have to agree on an action for the Element to complete. Fun times.

Failure!

You try, but you don't succeed. You can still feel its influence pushing on you.

Trips of Curiosity 2/5. Vote remains open for the 2 people we had earlier, who might have left because of all the arguing with the reward. Hopefully they show up again. Also wow. I need to make a new thread for tomorrow, I'll work on that. 970 posts. We will go beyond for today, but nothing stopping us from continuing.

Remember, MS Paint shitty thing is still open, give ideas pls.

Jiang as the red jewels take over her face in the corrupted form the moon jackass caused, might be easier for you to take another image and then use paint to add the jewels and deformities

>>3808113
Calling her is a bad idea. She called us in such a way that hints that she cannot communicate freely outside of the Palace. If she was free enough to answer a call, she would be to make a normal one. This is just putting her in needless danger. We have to go in person, presumably stealth into the palace and take her away.
>>
>>3808149
we can jsut call as a friend checking on her, theres always a chance she can talk, if she cant then we go. Like the dragon king spoke to us, he knows we care about her and us calling is not that much of a stretch

Actually wait, you can't do this one. She doesn't have a phone.

why are we staying in the cursed room we cant cleanse yet? Seems like hurting ourselves out of sheer stupid stubborness
>>
>>3808155
Exactly because he knows we care about her he will want to avoid us making contact if he really is abusing her. Keeping the victim as isolated and without contact with people willing to help is a tactic used by abusers.
I fear the Old Lizard has fallen to Kreyzar's touch, and things went from bad to worse.
>>
>>3808171
To stick it to The Man of course.
>>
>>3808176
There is no Man to Stick it to, we basically staying in a room that hass a cesspit in the middle cause we wana spite the guy that made the cesspit, who prob wont even know if we are in the room or not, its pointless, harms us and achieves nothing, seriously we aint the "I SHALL DEFY ALL FATE" xianxia protag, we aint got plot armor, and fate is not gonna bend over backwards to help us at a critical point, doing shit like this is jsut gonna make Zhou more miserable for no reason.
>>
>>3808186
There's always a Man to stick it to. In this case, it's Kreyzar. Sticking it to The Man is a philosophical stance, a way of self-expression. It doesn't have to actually bother The Man, it's all about feeling vindicated by going against something you don't like.
>>
>>3808186
Meh, let it go. This is your room! You live and breathe here. You aren't letting that go.

>>3808174
Nah, what he is doing is his Dragon mentality, this works for him, certainly, but not for YianEyue. No Kreyzar here, yet.

>>3808171
Exactly! Stubbornness! Angst be free! The angel is loose etc.

>Go to Dr. Xi about getting a fire user so we can go clear u the iceberg

You need to get this done. So you head over to Elemental Research. To see the Vice-Marshal.

"C-come in!"

He sounds almost deranged. You walk in, to see the shell of a man.

"Hello. What do you want? Please. Quickly."

"Strongest Fire Element Master you have, need for Ice Ravine."

"Take this, then go to Weapons, you k-know the big guy? Him. 10 Fire and Lightning Element Jewels. Go!"

He teleports you out of the room with a slip of paper in his hand. Wait, that's right. You have a new Spatial Skill! Well, could be time to use it soon.

You head over to the place, and show the paper. You are eventually lead to a large office room.

"Ceome in."

You see the man, gruff, and you can see small things you didn't notice before, namely, the number 17 on his left hand.

"I hear you need some help?"

"Yes please, what is the highest rank of Skill you have?"

"11 Stars. Prey tell, why a young man like you needs all that power."

"To destroy the Ice Ravine I made near Miller."

"You made that? That's a nice piece of work! Sure, but only if you pay me."

"How much?"

"One favour. That's it. As much as I love weapons. Humans are much more versatile. Deal?"

Anything to kill Kreyzar, that's what all this is about. Nothing else matters.

"Deal."

"Good, when can we go?"

Player Choice for the afternoon
>Go now
>Go some-when else (When?)


I will start a new thread tomorrow. I will end this one here. Thank you all for playing! Even if we lost some over time. The quest is due to start tomorrow at 14:00 pm, but I have Karate in the evening, so I will have to stop early, that's also when I get my grading result. Happy days. Please suggest something you would like for me to draw for tomorrow, and goodnight.

Quoting School of Rock doesnt make the decision any less moronic

This one, sorry.
>>
>>3809261
I'm making a fucking monstrosity. Ah well. looks like I'll be doing 2 versions, my shitty one and an edited one I steal from the internet. Let's just say that making characters with chalk white skin is making this a bit difficult. Jiang normally has a fringe, but this is proving to be difficult to make for my lacklustre skills, so, I will be taking some liberties.

link to new thread gonna drop here right?
