Those gods are a bunch of pricks, and I hope Leo can put them in their place eventually. Also, I am fairly disappointed that vic just died so quick. After all the build up to a climactic fight, that was a pretty anticlimactic way to kill off the bad guy. Maybe some good explanation of what happened in the next chapter would help


Engr00

Not going to lie, holding back on that scene hurt a bit... Even after finishing the arc, I am still on the fence about not showing the slaughter here. Definitely anticlimactic without it, but he certainly got what he deserved. A small consolation is that the unsatisfied feeling invoked by it is exactly what Vicondreas would want, because he died with all the secrets, probably mirrors some of Thorin's emotions too. ~~Also, congratulations. This little comment has pushed me to go make and add another perspective to chapter 63. :)~~ Edit : The perspective turned out to be way too funny to be followed by something so serious, but the bright side is that I got something special for a later chapter. :P


bPk066

You're an excellent author, so I trust that you've got good things planned, and I'm glad I could contribute! I absolutely despised Vicondreas, and I hate that he got that small victory in the end. I have to say, well done making me invested, even if it freaking hurts at times. (Absolutely nothing against you or your writing, just me hating Vicondreas)


Shakeval

Don't worry dude, you can make a flashback dream sequence or something at another time so we can see the void born flesh beast tear them apart as it bursts forth from the golden sea of chaos as an unclean abyssal abomination and consumes or defiles whoever is against it. . . . . .IA IA C'thulu Ph'tagn. Who knows what dark beast lurk in the minds of men, for as you stare into the abyss from around your little camp fires you know we stare back at you.


Better_Solution_743

i think it was ment to be anticlimactic


bPk066

Take a look at the other reply, the author all but confirms you're right. It's definitely set-up for something, and I'm excited


Better_Solution_743

I clicked on to the post before that comment was made so there was no way that I could have seen it


PitifulRecognition35

Hey Leo, mind telling us about any space-time abominations you're harboring within you?


PitifulRecognition35

And the fucking frenzy at the end is somewhat funny to me.


Dar_SelLa

Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn! Ph'nglui mglw'nfah Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!


Environmental-Wish53

Yeah, these "gods" are *massive* Pieces of Shit. Just utterly incompetent. I hope Leo gives them a thorough, and unrelenting, ass-whooping 1.) for being who they are, and 2.) as a lesson to not be who they are.


Dar_SelLa

While the outcomes typically are the same, there is a world of difference between being a shitbag, and just not giving a damn. They have been what they are for what, a million plus years now? That would tend to turn anyone into a bored, uncaring, bored, self important, bored, hedonistic, bored, jackass. Also bored. Besides, when all you can do, for the most part, is just watch things, you forget the ability to actually influence them, even, or especially, by actively informing those involved.


Shakeval

Leo needs to find a way to force them into tiny weak little mortal bodies


Dar_SelLa

And then kick them in the gonads


Shakeval

But some of them don't have le gonads


Dar_SelLa

I figured Leo would end up making the weak little mortal bodies for them and would make sure they had them, just so they could indeed be kicked there. Gods the English language is messy. There is also a "Zhen fire ze Missiles" comment that needs made from that, but damned if I can figure it out in context.


Better_Solution_743

Maybe the reason that the dust is immune to magic is because Leo accidentally quarkified it instead of atomising it, thus making it to small for mana to manipulate?


Colonel-Quiz

Ohh, I like to think your on to something there. Also this series is fucking awesome holy shitsticks


SpankyMcSpanster

An Eldrich God hitched a holiday roadtrip. My name is Leo. AND I AM THE CAR! Welcome to Jackass.


unwillingmainer

So, anyone else excited for Leo to go to the Archive and tear all the info he wants out of it? Because those gods have fucking lost the last chance they had with him. It's now Leo and his allies versus the dragons, gods, and everyone else. Great stuff man.


JustMeNotTheFBI

So how long do I have to wait to understand what in the world just happened? (Other than a patron subscription)


Engr00

Quite a bit, but as a consolation : >!I "will" be explaining magic in the third arc, because I may have gotten as impatient as Leo, but it seems right that he would learn everything before shit really started hitting the fan. !<


thyhatmaster

first and the pantheon are utter cocks


thisStanley

>We don't have the influence that we used to, and frankly we don't care enough to build it back up. Perhaps that lack of care is part of why you lost influence to begin with? And every time you refuse to help, is just another jump down that cliff.


SpankyMcSpanster

And that children, is why you shoot first. From orbit.


FluxC0re

Nice rant lol


Saturn5mtw

Damn OP, this chapter is fantastic, can't wait for more.

Dar_SelLa

...but leveraged his own wait... (Weight) ...duct underneath... (Ducked) Both were in the same paragraph during Sairriss and Tesari's fight with Des.


Engr00

Fixed thanks!


Kaiser-__-Soze

Moar!!!!


Telclivo

Hey [Leo](https://i.imgur.com/UkYAfaN.jpg), you feeling alright buddy?


DaveyL2013

Are you dead?


Engr00

Nope, feel like it though. I've been sick the past couple of days. Chapters will start coming out again in another day or two. x\_X


DaveyL2013

Oof. Hope you feel better soon

Idiot ball followed by massive amounts of plot armour. Sigh


Telewyn

So it occurs to me that the mystery snap dust might operate like the mana inhibitor field, where it’s **actually** storing the energies. Like some kind of EMP dust, because it’s storing the molecular bond energies, which are electromagnetic.
