[NETWORK] Death of the old world, let the rule of strength begin!

[warped_ken_amada]

[Soon after a dead Falcon appears in the Velvet Room...]

I have observed this dimensional crossroads and I have been disappointed. So many of you have been blessed with great individual power, the ability to change the world, and you all squander it.

Wake up! The world you are living in is based on nothing but lies! The "rules" and "morality" are not necessary things to live in society, but cowardly artifices used by weak men to exploit others despite their lack of strength! The root of everything, what allows you to take action, what arbitrates conflicts, is power. Even the modern societies of lies are based upon it! They rely on the collective power of the masses to uphold their rotten structure! But we are beyond that.

A new age is beginning. The old world is dying, and a newer, fairer world dawns! The collective power of the masses which has allowed such perversion is weaker than our own individual, gifted power! Break the shackles of the old societies! Tear them apart! Rebuild them anew, under the rule of strength, as they were always meant to be! You who are gifted with strength, take your righftul places as rulers!

Or oppose me if you wish, but be aware that I am in a league of my own. Your robotic friend thought himself strong, and look what happened to him. In the end, you are my inferiors. Keep that in mind, and we should get along fine.

maruki lobotomizes ken? finally makes himself useful??
not the worst idea if he can pull it off

[cybermask]

i could manipulate Maruki sure.

[herewardbound]

I have tricks I can try but that's about it. If he's in 'one-shot one of our heaviest hitters' territory, this might be the kind of thing that requires all hands on deck.

Part of me hopes he doesn't have that kind of power outside of cognitive spaces, but that's honestly probably too much to hope for.

Just what I needed, really. Get rid of one apocalyptic threat, say hi to the new one.

[willowandoak]

the thing is ppl come back to life here
as amada just recently reminded us
even if we all get together in a big show of teamwork or whatever
whats the point

[willowandoak]

you can???
might be the play

[cybermask]

worth a shot, you know if we could unlock a new reality along the way then that's what we do.

[willowandoak]

ok but is it a fucked up reality where everyones souls have been scooped out
idk if im ok with that

[cybermask]

[takutomaruki]

I am afraid I don't have the means to "lobotomize" anyone.
Misunderstanding my intentions is one thing, making baseless assumptions is another

[willowandoak]

no one believes u

[takutomaruki]

Then don't expect any help from someone you don't believe.

[willowandoak]

i hope ur smug superiority comforts u when amada kills everyone else and comes for u

[takutomaruki]

I am being smug when you are being insulting, Ren?

[willowandoak]

ye
idk why the hostility surprises u dude when maruki is such a threat in so many worlds and like. fucks with people personally
i cant rly think of a persona world where maruki isnt a danger tbh?
and theres no evidence that ur any different except that u say so

[flightpen]

you fucking liar
you slimy piece of shit

[takutomaruki]

Again. Never met you.

[flightpen]

[ ...the fuck? ]

you have
always happy to meet again if you need a reminder

[takutomaruki]

[oh right. he needs to clarify what he meant]

I am not responsible for another Maruki's misjudgement, Ren.

[herewardbound]

Actualization isn't the answer. I can tell you from firsthand experience that it isn't unbreakable if you're inclined enough to reject it.

I have one sword that was explicitly made to destroy souls that constantly regenerate, so that's an option, but it'd necessitate me getting into melee range and striking a lethal blow, which we couldn't depend on, I think, if Ken's edgelord doppelganger is on the level I think he is.

That said, even without actualization Maruki's tremendously strong. I'm not comfortable with it either, but we're not in a position where we can afford to make enemies right now.

[willowandoak]

sorry you have a what

[herewardbound]

for obvious reasons this isn't something i like talking about but y'know hey, emergency situation, angelic exterminators carry weapons that destroy souls to cull the population of hell, sometimes those weapons get left behind, carmilla goddamn carmine stockpiles the fucking things to research them and make herself hell's most successful arms dealer, and it turns out you have to strongarm the bitch into parting with her stock because it turns out THE ENTIRE TIME THE SECRET TO FORCING ALL OF THIS SHIT TO STOP

WAS THAT ANGELS CAN ONLY BE KILLED BY ANGELIC WEAPONRY

so yes. renee and i both have them. had bullets too, but i ran out for some reason which may or may not be related to the fucking war

[willowandoak]

huh
feeling better

[herewardbound]

a bit. thank you.

it's all. so god damn stupid, ren

[willowandoak]

yeah.. its always gonna be stupid when a lot of power is involved
more power less sense
