"Still need to fuse with the Celestial Worthy?" Lumian asked in confusion.
Zhou Mingrui nodded. "Yes, both fusing and resisting; this is currently the only path."
"Doesn't that mean..." Lumian suddenly closed his mouth, remembering a certain mystical knowledge he knew.
The spiritual imprint of the original Creator within the Beyonder characteristics was indestructible, including those of the original God Almighty and The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings!
Zhou Mingrui smiled and said, "No matter how I clinch victory, no matter how much you help me, in the long run, the one who will ultimately win this confrontation will inevitably be the Celestial Worthy."

>>97490530
The key lies not in preventing fusion, but in making the fusion irrelevant. If destroying the imprints is not an option, then how about modifying them? If they are the same personality as you, then fusing or not makes no difference, right? If fully modifying everything is too difficult, you can do it bit by bit; the imprints can be split into tiny pieces. As the one in control, you will slowly gain ground until eventual complete victory.
>What about GOOs without mental authorities/symbols?
Hope you are good at making friends.

>>97490530
Just... don't be a GOO. Be an almost GOO. Then, you don't need to fuse. You can spend time finding alternative ways to become a GOO and whatnot. A lot of the problems that the characters in the novel face are due to a lack of time. Klein had like a few decades to become the Lord of Mysteries. How can he know of all the intricacies and verify everything? He can't, which is why he is in the miserable position of constantly making concessions in order to survive. He said those words after a pitiful amount of time for research. He even acknowledges it:

>>97490438
I just realized something. That other image anon posts with this mentions 2 Cosmos pages, and In Modern Day makes no mention of you being unable to take Boon Pathways, and it says that there are others with the exact same circumstances as you.

Does that mean Boon recipients are on the planet thousands of years before they should be? A Sequence 3 of Sublunary Eye could let 2 GOOs bypass the Barrier, who knows what shit they could get up to without proper Gods around to stop them.

>>97490882
Sefira can give boons.

>>97490892
I mean specifically Boon recipients of Outer Deity pathways. What stops someone from gaining the memories and Beyonder powers of one like you did? In Modern Day anons will have to deal with Outer Deity cults and corruption waaaay sooner than expected

>>97490882
Unless we speedrun to GOO, preferably LotM or Father of Devils to seal a certain Genie, only He will win in this scenario.

>>97490882
Then we team up and curbstomp em. They dont have any advantage we dont have.

That's probably because tank didn't plan on there being boons in the cyoa at the time of making that WIP page. It doesn't make sense that you can get outer god boons In Modern Day.

>>97490923
Perhaps, but my point is more that Outer Deities can start affecting the world below far before they were able to in canon. Powerful Boon Beyonders can sabotage us normal Beyonders from the shadows and work to bring the Barrier down before it naturally collapses. We'd need a global inquisition or something to root them all out before they fuck us all over.

>>97490914
His Black Emperor resurrection loophole is still viable so he's already won. I wonder if Tank is going to address that or not

Technically, we can "easily" beat him by throwing GA characteristics into the Chaos Sea (which is the easiest sefira to get to because it is massive and physical) to awaken GA. Just buy a bunch of high sequence characteristics with all our points and rely on convergence and maybe some fate option to get there. This is like stabbing someone while holding the blade, but hey, it's possible.

>>97491125
>tfw no Shadow of Forbidden Gods CYOA

>>97491125
No joke, I think aiming for it is viable, but not directly.

A God Almighty who has grazed every other GOO can probably defeat the Mirrored Original Creator. With it grazed, you can destroy the "indestructible" imprints in characteristics. You might even be able to remove the law of convergence. Then, you can face the Chaos Origin Fetus. If you graze it, you achieve true supremacy.

A Lord of Mysteries doesn't work for this because its marionettes are dead, which means it can't make unkillable beings like the Mother Goddess of Depravity into a marionette. Marionettes also can't center power on itself like grazing can.

Ah, yes, the instinct of convergence is truly strong here. Nothing will go wrong, sure.

>>97491331
Risk, reward, anon.

>>97491335
I honestly think trying to directly go Mirror Creator is a better idea with vastly better probability of success. And it's still really fucking stupid and unlikely to work.

I want to check the series put and play this when it releases, but the discussions about it are way too autistic to care a lot.
When most of the talks are about how x counters the counters of y for z while claiming that all of those are trap options then something is not right. But that's probably an issue here rather than the novel.

>>97490690
Eh, if you want potential max you need, at least:
1. Alchemy Legendary status. Without this you will eventually start reincarnating again and lose your memories. Unless you make a cult or something with people that know Lifegiving Immolation Blessing to give to you. Or rush to learn the status yourself.

2. All affinites at G3

3. A way to keep your body young/change body (I use the core legend status)

If you got all of these, you got the potential.

If you want martial arts, you are then looking for combat skills. Did you take Heavenly Instrument? Heavenly Instrument, even if for one weapon, makes you basically the Potential Man of weapon arts.

About another legend status vs legend training, I think legend statuses are harder to get. They are the pinnacle of the affinity (normally, we get to skip all the affinity) and just having them makes a Dynasty stronger. On the other hand, I personally prefer to grind for the statuses, beyond alchemy and core which I use to remain alive. I picked Vortex and Spirit Tomb instead of another legend status, for example. I would go for a good scalling technique to start grinding early

>>97491860

>>97492026
>When most of the talks are about how x counters the counters of y for z while claiming that all of those are trap options then something is not right. But that's probably an issue here rather than the novel.
That's because powers of gods and above end up so abstract, their fights revolve mostly about symbolical counters between vague concepts. It wasn't very interesting in the novel either, which is why these parts ended up so short.
Anons are hyperfocused on the endgame because it's the endgame - it's hard to blame them for it. But I can still do it, and I will.
Most of the novel is naturally spent on lower Sequences and smaller scale stuff, and that's where its best mysteries and atmosphere are. Anons are looking forward to the clouds above mount Tai while missing the slopes of the mountain itself, thinking themselves above it from all the knowledge they already got.

>>97490513
Because at this point I refuse to let the blood mages win out of spite, and the only way not to let the blood mages win is to not play the CYOA because now the world-destroying fuckhead is just an NPC and not me, specifically.

>>97492087
You can get the required mana without being friendly with Adversary. Hell, the entire presentation of the faction is a double agent telling you all their secrets and from that you can just fuck them even more. You still have to save the multiverse from your founder, but you don't need some dirty blood mages to do it and after that it's just a return to exmanafication of inhospitable demon worlds.

>>97492044
Perpetual lotus is better immortality than Spirit Sovereign when it comes to cost efficiency.

The problem is that this >>97490560 BITCH CUNT SHIT PISS of a page doesn't even let you kill off the bloodNIGGERS for good. Thoss and the Feather even evade you no matter what, even if you have sorceries that should theoretically make it impossible to evade you. The eternal struggle explicitly continues even if you go all-in on remilitarising the convention

Hell, everything about this page feels like writing it felt like pulling teeth for Tankista, seething at the implication of his precious blood children suffering even a sliver a defeat.

That's like saying that the cyoa sucks for not letting you kill the purists since the low reputation mentions that a civil war will break out or that as a blood mage you cannot kill those pesky conventional mages without dooming existence.

NTA but probably Mind Overwrite, because it's all about psychic machinery. Laboratorium would be stronger and more versatile, but it's closer to what a Blood Mage would do (see: "demons") so it's not thematic.

Hello, yesterday I was discussing about how a Paladin who swore not to harm the unarmed might struggle against a corruption that the justice system refuses to punish. I do not like the idea of having no recourse against evil outside of 'proper authorities'.

I have found a solution. My holy chains that bind can stop magic, and are hard as steel. Certainly not unbreakable, but if somebody is strong enough to break them then they would be considered armed (according to the Hand of God rules) and my Metamagic can ignite the holy fire.

If his goons try to break them, Metamagic will ignite the holy fire and they would be considered armed, the fire would leap at them and burn them, but not burn the unarmed man.

I will be chaining them in an elaborate way too, like maybe in the middle of the courtroom.

>>97493168
That is obviously retarded and you are a shitty paladin for trying to bend the rules

For my fantasy adventure CYOA I have tried to cover classic/generic magic types that tend to crop up both in actual games and derivative works, and decided on
>Light magic (healing/sun spells)
>Shadow (darkness/life drain)
>Elemental (fire/air/water/earth manipulation)
Is there some sort of cliche I that missed? Necromancy/Demonology is off the table for lore reasons.

>>97493168
stop acting retarded, if the "proper authorities" do nothing against evil then they aren't the proper authorities and you as a paladin have a moral OBLIGATION to replace them with your own choice of actually proper authorities

>>97493246
To me CYOAs present a neat challenge, because they require you to be really good at describing things as vividly as possible while being as concise as possible.
It's like
>Here's a picture of the dude
>You have space for about four sentences, describe his personality, skills and motivation
It's easy to just go full schizo and ramble on when you're writing a story, but in a cyoa you have to get creative.

>>97493289
>Anon kills himself
>Wakes up to Dawn slapping his face
>"Wake the fuck up, paladin, we've got evildoers to burn"
DESPITE ALL MY RAGE

It's not like she's bitchslapping you to assert dominance.

>>97493315
Yeah, I started writing a potential companion page for a cyoa that will never come out and I realized how massive the descriptions ended up being. And it was literally just backstory, current status, powers and personality.
Being concise is definitely an invaluable skill if you want the text to convey all you want without it getting too long for people to care.

>>97493390

>>97493361
Yes you should, you would filter at least 99% of entrospics that way. That's why whenever someone seethes at a JRPG or PCA cyoa I automatically they're ESLtards.

>>97493354
This is not being pedantic. So many authors keep making tiny fucking text boxes. Simply fix the boxes? Nooo, leave the descriptions shit or fuck with font sizes.

>>97493399

>"hehe, you can't harm me, palakek!"

>Paladin and Dawn are just wondering why you're cartoonishly stupid

>>97493426
Paladin can't harm me if I harm myself first.

>>97493200
How am I bending the rules?
I am not harming anybody, I am constraining them to protect others. You are allowed to apprehend. At no point will the chains harm them, the only people that will be harmed are those wielding weapons against the chains, in which case they will be struck back.
>>97493209
Sure, but if that isn't viable then this is a good solution.
>>97493233
I am not going to kill the guards! I swore to be proportional. But the flames will leap out at them and their weapons. They will get hurt if they attempt to knowingly free evil.
>>97493258
Yeah the martial arts perk says that you count as armed if you have the perk, so even if you technically do not possess a weapon on you, if you are capable of harm and fighting then you are armed. The issue is that I need to be unarmed to use the Holy Shroud, I need to find a workaround for that.

>>97493168
>I do not like the idea of having no recourse against evil outside of 'proper authorities'.
But... Your entire idea is to put a guy in a magical bondage and give him over to the authorities.

>>97493399
>>97493371
>lots of long words with latin stems
this isn't what having a strong vocabulary actually looks like. A better test is knowing lots of short words (with non-latin roots) and expressions, like "din" and "weft". And the best test of all is names of species. Native speakers of a language tend to know a huge number of words for species common in their lands, if they're not consciously aware of it, that non-native speakers normally never learn. All of us speak English here, but I bet half the ESLs here wouldn't know what a heron or bramble is.

>>97493500
actually it's not quite like that, what you develop if you use multiple languages heavily is entirely parallel vocabularies, so you might know what things like herons and brambles are in english, and also their roughly corresponding words in the other languages you speak, but you don't necessarily make the connection that those are the same things

this happens mostly in topics that use uncommon vocabulary, including species, but also technical terms, cooking terms, etc.

>>97493500
also, one thing that becomes apparent when you're multilingual is how difficult some translations are, sometimes a language will say in a one or two word phrase something that some other language needs a long sentence for

just be lazy and use metamagic: act to determine what is within the limits of the oath, if the spell kills them it means they deserved it if not it means they didn't, very simple really. You can apply that on pretty much everything and achieve total oath compliance.

>>97493578
the issue is that dawn is a woman and also your mom, shes just going to answer with "do you think you should do it?" or something with a slight smile or judgemental look and anon is going to get confused and angry

>>97493589
what aspect is this

>>97493315
I agree this can be a neat challenge but it's also mitigated by dividing everything well under sections. It's fine if there's a long rambling bio if it's separate enough that you can play the cyoa without reading it, at least on the initial skim of the cyoa. I think subsections (of the description of an option) are amazing and 90% of authors aren't subsectioning enough.

>>97493594
>anon is going to get confused and angry
Is anon literally just a brat?

>>97493617

Guys, how would you want death to be handled in your cyoas? (not aging or immortality)

Do you prefer permanent deaths? Or do you prefer it if the cyoa provides countermeasures against death? Do you want the author to straight up provide an "immortality" option? Or would you rather the author somehow leave the subject up to each player's discretion?

Because idiots like you can’t do the bare minimum of the required nuance.

Atheists and theists are indistinguishable to me. They’re both retarded and blind to the other side of the same damn coin they both stand on.

Atheists are retarded for thinking that science isn’t a form of cancer religious tier think and doesn’t involve faith+dogma that radically others and ostracizes. They will label you a witch by any other name.

Theists are retarded for thinking science can’t explain the divine (or that nature isn’t divine) — because apparently God is too stupid to understand himself (a form projection — “God sees himself the same way I do!”).

They’re both fucking retarded.

Lol different word anon, read a Bible. I would bet money Matterfag doesn't believe in a Christian Heaven but has the traditional view that we have to wait for a literal physical resurrection at the end of time and Earth is going to be restored into "paradise" (after the last judgement of course).

>>97494337
Wrong. Christians hate materialism. They argue God is above reality which means they’re arguing that God isn’t even real.

They’re just too stupid to see it. Or just too butthurt over semantic warfare.

They hate words like ‘alien’ or ‘material’ or ‘evolution’ simply because they don’t like the words. Kind of like how Tucker Carlson says crap like “I don’t believe in evolution I believe in adaptation!”. They are not satisfied with the terms.

Kind of like how morons think magic is a literal superficial thing. To someone who is unfamiliar a grenade is no different from a fireball. People are way too crazy obsessed over superficial labels to the detriment of acknowledging the shared or universal essences.

I absolutely can. I’m fucking old enough to be your father. I’ve seen the amount of Christians who will argue that someone really survived for a week inside a fish.

They’d truly waddle up to God (had he been present) and say with total glee and pride in their voices that they take everything in the Bible literally.

God would not be impressed.

He has never once said that. Jesus was just a fucking hippy. There is no true religion since it’s all just one big massive game of telephone across the ages.

Jesus is the equivalent of Rey Skywalker. “He can then water to wine and make bread and fish appear out of thin air! He is like soooo awesome!”. The Jews didn’t like this crap tier writing. I can see why. Before Jesus all the people who had cool magic powers were old sagely figures, not some dirty hippy.
