Bad Tom! No biscuit souls! Let us finish negotiating with the god of chaos before we try to eat him!

Er, before we decide whether or not to eat him, I mean.

>>354129

What? You wanna negotiate with this guy? No, fuck him.

Take his soul too!

KILL MAIM BURN KILL MAIM BURN!
aka use war god powers to help fight.

We don't know if him being the dreamer of all the souls we ate makes him more powerful than they were. We should at least see if he'll let us go peacefully before we attack.

>>354127
This guy is small time. Tom wants to eat him, I have half a mind to let him. Let's see how much damage we can do without killing the guy and see if that makes him change his mind about letting us out.

Oh, right, combat advice. Well, first thing you wanna do is get either Speed or Giant Strength on Tom so he doesn't get eaten.

Eh what the hell, we didn't come all this way just to wimp out when given the chance to take out a god. This guy is a dick anyway.

There's no compromising with a chaos god. Plus we need some footing if we are gonna take on the arch-gods, and he'll do fine. Don't settle for living in the erring thoughts of an underling. Give him the full fusilier.

>"Ah. No wonder you were able to take on weakened gods. I sucked most of the energy out of the souls in those play-gods you ate. You'd have trouble with a real one, 'godslayer'!"

>"He's tough alright, Chee!" Tom says.

That... didn't even ding him?!

You know how in stories the protagonist uses his most powerful attack as a last-ditch effort?

You don't have time for such theatrics. Explode some god souls in his face.

THE EYES DAMNIT. FUCK HIS EYE WITH A KNIFE-EDGED MAGIC BLOW. SHIV HIS GODDAMN SKULL WITH A FOCUSED OMNIPUNCH.

TAKE. NO. SHIT.

yes, use the special magic the earth god used but with a soul burst using the god soul.

Yeah, using a god's power is not going to be helpful. He already has most of their juice powering them. HOWEVER, we have shit tons of souls! Literal shit tons! Not just weak ones too! Paladins that dealt with Tom, wizards at their peak, warriors of all professions, heroes, villains, EVERYTHING!

One big blast isn't going to hurt him? How about every soul that ever existed in our world using a bit of their energy to punch him to bits? Let's go spirit bomb on his ass.

>>354160
yes, a soul burst using ALLLLL the souls

Want to try healing magic against the guy that looks a lot like an undead abomination?

Or do you think you can use Smite Evil? This guy seems pretty evil. I suppose we could use paladin soul bursts to cast it.

Anyway, it feels like this is going to be similar to the fight against that second lich. We need to get creative. Is there any metal nearby? Magnetomancy is nice for a solid physical punch. Or we could geomancy spikes everywhere onto him.

In the chance we can't out muscle him, we could try for a gambit. Summon some of Deerego's anti-illusion potions either chug it yourself of throw em into CG. Ride the fringe of reality to glory!

or make him fall. if you fall in a dream you wake up.

"Tom, how many souls can you explode at once?"
>"Why, all of them!"
"At full power?"
>"Yep, if you want to do that!"
"Didn't you say it damaged a soul even at half?"
>"Yep, but you can't really destroy one even at full! We just haven't done that because the soul would disperse to wherever souls go when they disperse from the world. In this case, right here! You would just need to fetch it again.

I have 2 gods, and all of the paladins and mages and everything. If I shoot at full power, the souls will disperse around this subconscious and I can gather them if I win. If I miss though, that would be quite bad!

do it. hit him with everything, if it doesn't work then there is nothing that will.

Well then don't miss.

Now, I repeat, give him the full fucking fusilier.

>>354167
He's still not attacking us, is he? Ask him how many souls he would want, if they weren't top quality or anything. Or what he defines as top quality. We need to know exactly what it would cost us to leave without a fight.

On the other hand, do we even WANT that? We're not a real god yet. Would we be able to defend our friends from the gods in the next world if they are less than pleasant? We might need this guy's power, and he's been put to sleep, so if we can kill him, then... I don't think any of the other gods will be angry with us.

Well, if we decide to do this, tell him you're going to give back the souls, then do so forcefully.

SHOOT WITH EVERYTHING

go big or go home, man, do it

>>354173
We're gonna eat him so that we can level the playing field between us and the Arch-Gods.

Oooh I have an idea! Shapeshift yourself and grapple him to hold him still so Tom can blast him. Teleport clear at the last possible moment. Or maybe Tom can grapple him?

TAKE THIS! THE LOVE , ANGER, AND ALL OF THE SORROW OF AN ENTIRE WORLD! SOULMAGEDDON!

Do it! I want to see what happens.
Also, would this soul blast thing use us too?

My soul isn't actually inside Tom, so no, it wouldn't be in the blast.

"Hey! How many souls would you want if they aren't top quality?!"
>"If I'm going to max out the souls I want to carry at a time, they've got to be the absolute best! You're really gonna try and fight me, huh? I'll just take the souls I want, who knows about the rest! I'm really looking forward to having fun with some of the souls I've accidentally made!"

I have no idea how to grapple that thing, even with shapeshifting! But...

"Tom, can you grapple him?!"

Damniiiiiit! 8 seconds left! All of the souls inside Tom are going to be exploded, and we're missing with the attack!

Can Tom grow another head and shoot the souls out of it?

>>354193
Giant Strength spell on Tom! Shapeshift yourself and help!

adjust your aim then! or use earth magic to slam his head into the beam! once you tag him with that it'll probably keep him too hurt to dodge.

yell "DO IT FOR MINCI!"
and have a big rock from the side of the tower fly into the back of CG's head to knock him back into the beam.

Also, wind power to blow him into the path of the beam. Geomancy some shit to hold him in place. Blind him with an illusion so he only THINKs he's dodging.

Run up to that bastard and use all your magic and muscle to punch him into the stream. Recall the teachings of Chop: cast SLEEP.

Hey! Don't forget about all those souls! I bet they would rather live in a new world than just give up. If they don't want to give up, then have all those souls help us CURVE THE BEAM INTO THAT JERK'S FACE.

We have worked hard to try and improve a world he didn't even care about! Let's show him what an entire planet of souls can do when they put their minds to it!

If he can shoot some of it out of his tail which is right at his face, that would be perfect.

Make sure he is dead. Push more of him into the beam. Get Tom suckin' his soul asap. Then grab all the souls we just dispersed with that attack... and... make our escape. Into the new world, as a new god, Chee. Are you excited?

all grown up and punching god. we should probably vacuum up the souls we just spent, this place might start to get a bit unstable since we just exploded an important part of chaos gods mind.

>"That was quite an unexpected twist of events, young one. Welcome to a reality you once thought yours was! I am sure you have many questions, but to begin, my voice is coming from the ball of light. You are in the divine land, and we have no need of physical forms here. I have brought you here the moment you broke through our resident God of Chaos. As you might guess, I am the Archgod of this realm."

Dude I'm actually almost emotional

We were a village kobold child and now we have broken the rules of reality and basically become a god.

The arch god better not ruin our day now.

"What happens now?"

>>354222
Divine land... is this true reality? Are we safe?

Well, first thing's first. Introduce yourself. Maybe tell him a bit about what happened in the dream? Then ask him if it's safe here. What is this place like? We need a place to bring back our friends, release the properly-dead souls, and to rebuild our world or settle amongst those already here.

but...but

ask him how you're going to hug him if he doesn't have a form.
We're just so happy to have a proper reality to exist in now.

>>354222
Hey Guy, wanna lightball brofist? Limited time offer from the hype of getting rid of a lot of bad guys and saving a lot of good ones! Well, getting rid of a lot of dicks anyway. And a totally lame chaos god.

Just please tell me all the hard work you've done won't go to waste because of a lot of celestial bureaucracy and dickery preventing you from allowing souls freedom of reality, no disrespect. Some of those souls are total bros.

actually, why not just bring everyone back? i really don't see the need for death. but we should probably ask the arch god some question first.

1. are there any rules I will have to follow?
2. was there a reason the chaos god made our world in his sleep? or was it just random chance?
3. how many other gods are there and what are they the gods of?

4 did the choas god have duties or some such that were in some way necessary?if so will we have to do them now? if not why didn't anyone explode him to death until now?

I am way too nervous to fist bump anymore!

"Hello.. I am Cheelop, but you can call me Chee! What happens now? I need a place to bring back all of my friends, and... well, to merge the reality I know with yours, if you can! Also, did the chaos god have duties or... and was there a reason his dream became a reality to us?"

>Let us address one thing at a time. First of all, the "why" of the Chaos God's dream. Our plan was to teach the God of Chaos a lesson. Controlling elements and concepts is no light task! One must take it in moderation and responsibility. This is no universe of absolutes, in order for one to make a judgement to say that something is orderly, one must be able to compare it to something chaotic, and vice versa. The God of Chaos had no such vision, and ran rampant. We put him to sleep, with the intention of showing him the error of his excessive displays of power without breaking our own reality. We had our effects on his dream.

>The first lesson was his decision to taint the God of Earth, whom would destroy an entire continent needlessly. Another lesson was providing a great artifact of chaos to just anyone, the one that made a being in the God's image, the one you know as Tom. There were other lessons of no consequence to you as well, until young Cheelop became the Lich King. We then silently helped the Lich Cheelop craft you haphazardly, recklessly and, of course, chaotically. We expected it to be another tragic disaster, and would patiently wait for the God of Chaos to realize that if he had his way all of the time, civilizations as we knew it would crumble down under his excessive use. I should stress, it was not until recently we realized his very godhood was flawed, and his dream was truly a reality. We are investigating the cause, as this is unheard of. We cannot apologize enough, that we made a reality to be toyed with even unintentionally.

>Of course, that was until you took to Lich Cheelop's magic far greater than anticipated. Not only were you able to break apart his dream, but to actually consume his soul! You may not be a true god, but enough gods, and myself, believe you to be worthy. You do not wish for chaos, but seem to do a fine job attracting it yourself. Will you accept that burden?

>Regardless of your choice, we will bring your reality into our own, but we will discuss the details after I hear your decision."


I still never truly wanted to be a god. I still wanted to be the kobold villager.

>>354234
There's another option. Have Tom be the god of chaos. Detach him from you and let him keep the chaos soul. He has shown himself to be a big fan of chaos, but not completely irresponsible. Besides, Minci can keep him grounded.

Hey, what about the gods that were in the dream? Are they going to be restored and brought back to sanity somehow, or just replaced? The God of War seemed like an okay guy, actually, and we don't know anything about the other gods we didn't meet.

and that is why you would make a very, very good god. chee i understand why you would yearn for a quite peaceful life, but would you really be happy knowing that there is suffering you could prevent?

>>354234
Unmerge with Lich Cheelop, give her the title of Chaos God, you just get to be a powerful wizard bold villager.

Or just give Tom the job because in the end, most of this was his work if not Lich Cheelop's, he seems to be pretty much like the chaos god and appreciates chaos, only he understands the concept of boundaries.

Plus, hey, he has an outlet succubus girlfriend. But I doubt the archgod wants him, a slightly better than the old chaos god; they want motherfucking Cheelop.

Screw being a god, tell him to hurry up and merge reality so you can have everyone back and we can go back to the party and being drunk as drunk can be.

Or even if you don't want that and just want everything to go back to normal.

Do what your heart desires. You earned it.

The more powerful you are, the more you can make the world a better place.

Hail, Cheelop, Goddess of magic, friendship, and benevolence.

You can still be whatever you want as a god. You just have to be careful to not abuse your powers. Just remember even though you might not want the responsibility giving up your power means you cant protect your friends as well as you might like.

>>354234
Well... the responsible thing to do would be to take on the mantle and do all the good you can with it.
But that's not what you want. And if its not what you want its not what WE want.

Hey. Crazy idea here.
Why don't WE do it? Us. The advice souls. Not all of us, I mean, if anyone wants to leave they have a right, but I think a lot of us would not mind staying together like this and being a god!

"Oh! What about the gods in the dream?"
>"We would like them back, in order to return them to their original well being."
"Alright!"

I can't unmerge with Lich Cheelop! That was permanent.

Tom, hm...

"What about Tom? He's already characteristic of this role, and he knows restraint now! Or the advice souls?"
>"Hm... it is true that Tom has shown restraint after some time, as though he learned the lessons instead. However, he resembles the predecessor far too much, not just in looks, but also personality, and I hope you understand that we are very skeptical about this. You wished for a normal life, yes? That is an easy task. If that is all you wish for, then we can have Tom be the God for the duration of a normal Kobold's lifespan, and you take over when your mortal time is up. As for advice souls, we prefer that a god be a single soul.

>Now, about the matter of merging worlds. Us gods work silently, yet with just enough evidence that we do indeed exist. As such, it would not do to have gods gallavanting around in your world, nor would it do to have you walking amongst them even as a god-to-be without proper amnesia for your stay.

>I propose that we set your world in ours, at the point in which your world began. In the blink of an eye it will be re-enacted, out of sight from the rest of our world with everyone's life as closely mimicked as possible, following the laws of our universe, yet with special treatment to those who have helped you. Fen and Lily for instance would get their happy ending. Tom and Minci I believe will be pulled out, and may live together in the divine realm, despite Minci being a succubi. Also, I do not wish to undermine your handiwork with, for instance, your portals across the land. They will be placed there as gifts from the Gods instead of by mortal hands. In a way, it is not a lie! It is such details as these that will vary to fit our universe, but time will resume to a normal pace when it is time for you to pick up your life again. Of course, as a true kobold, not as a construct. The Chee that became a lich will be a different Chee. You will be the original, in the merged world. There will be no necromancers hunting for you, and no souls to guide you for the duration of your mortal life.

>Do you find these conditions agreeable, or would you prefer a simpler alternative?"

>>354248
That sounds pretty good. I have no idea how they're avoiding the paradoxes inherent with not having the Earth God fuck things up. Or does that even matter, now that it's reality? I'm guessing that Fen will assist Kip in deposing the false king to prevent the eastern continent's fall as well. Or perhaps there won't be a false king at all.

I'm also kindof wondering uh... when are you gonna live? In the location you first met us? Or in the fort with Shabin? Will you still have talent as a mage?

Oh, I still want to meet Su. Also, may as well find out more about the three mage souls that have been helping us out. We can also sit Momo down now and ask her wtf.

Oh, did you find out who that necrobold was? Surely you sucked his soul in the last few minutes of the old reality.

>>354234
Do it, then loan the power out to others so they can do the job for you and you just need to make sure none of them screw things up.
We'd love to do that, just so you know.

>>354250
What, and go back to square one, with some hoity-toity floating glow-lamp taking all the credit?

No necromancers and no us. Chee's village was never attacked and she would have still lived there, or not, as in fact you'll have never been kicked out by Vox or even earlier than that that remembering that far hurts my head...

that means you might never meet all the people you've met up to this point...

Is that what you want?

Hey, wait a second, nobody will ever know what we did. We saved the whole world twice, and the eastern continent twice. We saved the world from the lich war and the end of the dream, while the eastern continent was saved from both the Earth God and the false king's bumbling.

Can't we get credit for that? Even a statue somewhere would be nice, or a secret shrine with our story. Just... something. Some record of our struggle in the dream, visible in the new mortal world.

The amnesia doesn't seem all that good, isn't it a bit like dying? Even if you come back to godhood remembering all that happened, that well earned retirement of a simple life wouldn't be appreciated the same way. Still if that's what you want...

Oh and don't forget you had a fist bump you still had to do. And if you could meet the rest of your friends again before any sort of merging goes on that would be nice. They might have their own opinions on how to go back as well, or if. Maybe have a little divine plane victory party?

I like to think we advice souls have a lot to do with your talent with chaos, what if by being merged you can't fill your role properly?

You know, Chee?

For the longest time, we've been helping you out. We've been there through thick and thin, guiding you, advising you.

Thanks, Chee. For listening to us, I mean.
Its been a hell of a crazy ride.

We got the good end, Chee.
You should too.

My last peice of advice?

Be yourself.

>>354259

Yeah, this. Pick what you want.

It's been fun helping you Chee, with the choices both big and small, but this decision is yours alone.

>>354259
...Stole the emotion right from my everything.

You know we'll miss you, Chee. It strikes me as amusing that if you take this on, it would make that the same as saying, "God knows we'll miss you."

totes dude. it's the last thing you need to decide.

Did you not promise lich chee to never stop hunting gods? Maybe these gods really aren't as fickle as our old ones but wrheres the proof we aren't trusting a deceived?

but what about meeeee

We did our job Chee. We gave you advice and you used it to give your world a happy end. Now it's time to give your own advice and follow what you believe is your happy end.

Okay. I have mixed feelings and it's hard, but I'll choose for myself, this time!

Both Momo and necrobold will have very different lives, I think, so it doesn't truly matter what they were thinking or who they were. Also, it's true I promised to keep slaying the gods, but.. I believe that Lich Chee would call this the limit.


I don't need recognition or people knowing what I've done. I'm happy knowing that I was able to do it. The gods here are aware of what I've done, anyway! If I go down there, I won't need to remember anything. In fact, it's better if I don't.

"I have a question! What about the earth god messing everything up? Also, I have a little bit of hesitation, because I won't meet a lot of my friends."
>"There will be no Earth God as you know him. No paintings, no boxes, or anything of the sort. Let us worry about the details, Fen and Lily will be happy together, and the strands of fate will still have Fen and Kip, whom will not be immortal, shall meet and bring down the false king. Lastly, when they, and everyone else, eventually dies, you will be able to meet everyone again and share your memories. As mentioned, Tom and Minci will remain here, with Tom being the god. The advice souls are free to guide him, as well."

That's good enough for me.

"I'll do it. I want to live in the fort, where I met Shabin. Then, after I die, I'll willingly take the duties of the Chaos God."
>"Excellent. You will be born in the village where you first met your advice souls. They will be attacked again while you are away, as that assault happened with or without you. But, the necromancer will not be around to raise them, and they may rest in peace. You will go to the kobold cavern, and from there, there will be no strands of fate guiding you. Is this what you want?"
"... yes, it is."

As long as I can meet everyone again after we're deceased, I'll be happy!
