"I tap my chaos land and generate 4 orbs of destruction. With these I destroy your castle's walls and sink your air ship."

>Alice: "... Fuck it. I can't play this with you."

Alice stands up and leaves.

"HA! You're just being a sore loser!"

Fluffy thinks she hears Alice say 'It was poker you blind idiot!' but she is not sure.
She's too busy celebrating her victory.

Oh helloooo
I was wondering when you guys would speak to me again.
Of course the Godslayer is nearby. It's my secret weapon of justice.
As for what happened...
Well...

Overlord put on some kind of super suit and it gave him amazing powers. He used those amazing powers to tear this power golem a new hole. Pretty intense fight. Man, I wish I could've seen it. Don't you?

Anyway he came back to the castle but he ended up exploding. He's still exploding now actually.
Right outside and a bit below us. Actually a hundred feet below us. It's kinda slowly tearing apart the castle.
Worst part is the only lady who knows how to stop it or even save him hasn't said a single word on how to do so.

>>508945
Please check the sword's pommel. I suspect that one of Overlord's "eyes" is in it now.

I mean, Overlord/we put ONE of his/our eyes in the suit. His other one should have some connection to him/us still, and last I remember it was still in his regular body. Uh. I'm not sure how to exactly describe our relationship with Overlord anymore.

Anyway, do you know where his old body is? Reactivating it and bringing it down to the exploding Overlord might restabilize things.
>>
No. 508964 ID: 76b151

Hmm, I wonder if revealing WHY Overlord cares for Emily would get Tinker to act. The entire reason she decided to destroy him is because of the whole Woman Scorned thing... well that and she is both insane and evil.

Another way would be to go to the Mimic and pay her to teleport the orb out of that body. Just a couple feet to the left would work.
>>
No. 508969 ID: d6ef5d

Huh. Can you do something about that? I mean, as a hero, you save people! You shouldn't let the people in this castle get killed by that. And even if the overlord is kind of a jerk, maybe you should save him too? That's something good guys do, saving bad guys from their own stupidity, right? (Although I guess he was sort of doing a good thing anyways sacrificing himself to stop the crazy power golem).

What happened to the power golem, anyways? Do we still have it's eye(s)? Or is it dead?

Couldn't we like... move the castle over or something? It does fly.

Obviously, you guys haven't got the crazy tinker to help, yet. What about her demon assistant? The one with the lisp? Maybe she knows something.

You guys should ask Abel how he was made, using a physical representation of pure unadultrated Order right at it.

Just throw Order right at it. Yes, just a big fat order bomb. If you can a golem out of order, you can make an explosive of order.

>What happened to the power golem, anyways? Do we still have it's eye(s)? Or is it dead?

It exploded into just nothingness. Eyes are gone, everything gone.

>Couldn't we like... move the castle over or something? It does fly.

As far as we can tell it's not able to move. It kinda just... Floats there.

>Obviously, you guys haven't got the crazy tinker to help, yet. What about her demon assistant? The one with the lisp? Maybe she knows something.

The who?
Bah, let me just see if I can beat the information out of that Tinker or something. I'm tired of her being all quiet and not helping.

She abandons her card game and goes downstairs into the dungeon. It's mostly empty and in the far end of the dungeon, in her own cell, is the Tinker Beatrice.

"Tinker."

>"..."

"I know you know how to stop the Overlord's explosions. Tell me now, or else!"

>"Or else?"

"I'll beat you up!"

>"You can try."

Well that didn't work...

>Hmm, I wonder if revealing WHY Overlord cares for Emily would get Tinker to act.

Huh? Why does he care for Emily? Wait, Overlord and Emily are a couple!? But he's a golem! And she's a golem! How does that even..?
>>
No. 511432 ID: f2c20c

>>511431
Okay look.

Overlord's mother died, and in an act of grief he took her body and tried to bring her back as a golem using the corpse for materials. Instead, he got Emily. So Emily is sortof his mother and sortof his daughter. That's why he cares about her.

Telling the Tinker that might get her to stop hating Overlord so much, because she's mainly been acting out of jealousy.
>>
No. 511435 ID: bf54a8

may be able to let us talk to her without letting go of the sword. just put the blade on her shoulder like you are knighting someone.


anyway yeah, emily was the corpse of overlord's mother with magic added in an attempt to bring hr back to life. it failed and he got emily and even when he was a crazy kill everyone overlord he never hurt emily, which is why the tinker got jealous, she thought overlord LOVED loved emily but it was something else.
>>
No. 511442 ID: d6ef5d

Beating her up isn't a very good threat if she expects to die anyways when the castle gets eaten up. If she's not afraid of getting herself killed, she won't be afraid of a beating.

Since she's not trying to save herself, that means she wants to die and/or she wants the Overlord dead so bad she's willing to sacrifice herself to get it done.

So you can't get through to her by appealing to her self preservation. You need to convince her that her reasons for wanting herself and/or the Overlord dead aren't worth it.

Wow... I didn't know the man had a backstory like that. Crazy.

"Can I tell you something Miss Tinker?"

"It's the reason why Overlord cares so much about Emily."

>"... I'm listening."

"Emily is actually his 'mother'. He was created by a girl named Emilia and when she passed away he used her body to create Emily. Didn't really work though. So he's not like.. In love with her romantically or anything. That'd be weird. No he loves her like a fater/son."

She looks up at Fluffy, her face still impossible to read.

>"Really?"

"Yep."

Ask her exactly how her powers would help here, before we unseal her.

This is... rather likely to be a trap. If we're going to be letting her powers out we'll need to keep her under guard by people her powers don't work against. Like, Emily, Nix, Golem, Lenion.

"Oh, and he doesn't feel that way about anybody since he wasn't made for it. You're probably the only one who can fix that."

Well, he'll probably end up destroying everything if he isn't stopped. So even if she wanted to she can't make things worse, just make things go terrible faster.

Waiting for the end is boring. Unseal her.

Pft, I'm a hero. I don't need backup, I got this.

Fluffy opens the cell and walks up to Beatrice. She takes the seal and rips it off.
The moment she does Beatrice jumps to her feet and laughs


>"I didn't think it would be that easy! Listen fool, even if I could help you I wouldn't! Now why don't you be a good girl and unbind my arms. Then, kill yourself."

Her eye glows bright. The Tinker smiles, knowing she's won.

Oh, pfff-haha. You're immune to her mind control power! Good for you. You're too much a hero to fall for her stupid cheap tricks.

Play on her sense of survival. Look, you were obviously counting on escaping. But you can't make me do anything, and I'm not going to let the others get the chance to fall for your tricks. So you can either help us, or sit in the cell until we all die.

Then stick the seal back on.

Ah good, you're immune to her abilities as well. I'm not exactly pleased about you rushing headlong into her trap, but it worked. Also, I guess she has just straight-up mind control powers, not just the ability to look into someone's past to see the right thing to say to shock them into inaction.

Re-seal her eye, then bring her to the problem site and unseal her again there so she can tell us what to do.

Tell her part of the Overlord's consciousness is right here and wants some goddamn help already. All the very close to human-like emotion parts, perverted parts, very many parts, etc. Geeze lady just give us what we want, we don't hate you or anything. You're a fun eccentric, kinda. Completely insane but we like insane, we're a chaotic consciousness after all. Overlord totally said that, a part of him. There are other parts that are like NOPE NOPE NOPE but well no one ever has 100% consensus in your mind except Fluffy. Not even you Tinker.

Then tell her that you're idealistic enough that mental trickery won't work. So idealistic and heroic you just power through all cynicism and self-doubt. No siree, you won't quit even when it makes sense, or stop ever when you have a goal in mind and never change it. So her eyeball couldn't possibly work on you. Ever.

Also, holy god if this is all we needed to do to make her powerless why didn't we lock her up like this before we fell, were we an idiot?

What, she was trying to trick me!? That jerk!

Fluffy slaps the seal back on her and gives the best glare she can. That is to say, none at all because she doesn't have eyes.

"It seems you don't really wanna die, huh? You wouldn't have wanted to escape otherwise. Can't blame ya. Listen, you help us all out the best you can and you don't die in an explosion. If you can't help us then I'll just lock you back into your cell until we all die. Deal?"

>"..."

"I'll assume you're nodding. Let's go!"

She takes her outside the castle and to the area below. There is what's left of the Overlord. The explosion isn't much of an explosion, rather it's just a constant warping of the space around him. It seems to be taking up bits of the ground below into it's mass. Fluffy takes off Beatrice's seal and has her look at the warped mass.

>"... It would appear that the armor he was wearing has forced him to return to a more primal form. Only way you'll get him back is to seal him up again. And I can't do that."

"Why not?"

Shit. Put the Tinker back in jail then bring Emily down to look at this.

Oh right. His mother. Who died. And was then turned into Emily, who is kind of a ditz. She's not gonna be able to fix this.

Reseal her, and let's go see the other tinker. The not-crazy one who wears a mask, and tell her what you've learned. The overlord has a magic watch that can be used to peek back into the past. Maybe we could watch how it was done the first time, to figure out how to fix him now?

Because the multiple personality thing worked out so well with O-lord. We don't know how stable Mother was in the first place either, nevermind waking up in a flesh golem. I mean she was crazy enough to make a chaos golem.

We should check with our friendly neighborhood mimic how much it'd cost to fix Overlord. If the collapse is fairly slow, we might be able to send out people to farm up enough funds to fix it before it reaches important stuff.

And lastly, Abel is a big nono. No talking to Abel or letting him in on this, even though he probably already knows from his spying. This is a chaos singularity that simultaneously destroyed Overlord and is going to slowly devour the demon world, it's basically Abel's dream come true.

yes, exactly, you can't just wish for things to go away like this. to everyone that said to do this, you picked wrong.

anyway, now we have to pick a REAL solution. for one we have a overlord eye still intact. have the tinker look at it. 2 we can use the watch to see how overlord was made the first time.

Alright, alternate plans time. Try showing the other overlord eye to the Lady, so see can do her magic tinker eye thing to see how it works. Maybe then she can figure out how to fix the other one.

If that doesn't work, visit Styx (the masked less crazy tinker). We can have her check how the chaos was sealed the first time with the goldeon watch.

>I don't think we should let the lady use her powers on anyone it could even possibly work on.

No to anything that has to do with using the evil tinker. She WILL twist it against us, somehow.
But Styx is ok, maybe show her the Godslayer, as it's our current vessel, and we're linked to Overlord. It might help her find a way to do something about his exploding.
I'll wager that she's already working on it, so we REALLY need a method to help her get it done...

Sounds like a plan. Now where's Styx...

First Fluffy secures Beatrice within the dungeon again then she gathers Styx. She says she knows exactly what room Overlord was made in and that she feels silly for not thinking of this before. Using the Watch the two of them go back in time...

Oh, it's this funny little dimple on the belly of some species. It's about the size of a finger. Perfect for poking! (Except for mimics. It's really mean to do it to them. Even the overlord wouldn't stoop that low).

You've kind of got more got a toothy belly-maw, though. And, uh, someone would have to be pretty silly to poke it.

Oh right. Since you don't have mucus membranes to smack together, how does your species make physical gestures of affection, then? Hold hands, entwine tails, rub ears? Gotta be something.

>Law essence
Oh no, does that mean we need to go back to Abel? He was kind of a jerk to you the last time you met, and he doesn't like the overlord either.

>spear guy
Hey, there was supposed to be a spear guy in the overlord's forces before he got his ass kicked, his castle crashed, lost his memory and decided this time round not to be such a jerk!

I agree with this sentiment. You're a hero, right? And you're supposed to be making sure the overlord doesn't do anything bad. So what was his mum doing trying to make a chaos golem anyways?

We rub the frilly parts of our cheeks against each other. Not that I've ever done something like that.
Ever.

>Oh, it's this funny little dimple on the belly of some species. It's about the size of a finger. Perfect for poking!

Huh, that's funny. People are weird.

Alright let's follow the spear guy!

The two of them float after the man with the spear. He makes his way through a significantly smaller version of Overlord's castle and leaves. As he continues forward the ground beneath him seems to crumble away

>"Ah... We can not follow him further. The powers of the watch only let us go so far. I do have an idea of where he's going though..."

"Where?"

Nothing much left to do but float back to Emilia and see if she does anything interesting before the watch-spell ends.

And maybe Styx is right about not going solo. I mean, these guys live here, so you suppose they might want to help it not get swallowed up in an explosion. And there's no rule that says heros can't have help, even if they don't need it. So who would you like to bring along for monster killing in the chaos spiral? You like any of the people around here more than the others?

>Not that I've ever done something like that. Ever.
Don't worry, there's plenty of time for that! And heros have pretty good success rates when it comes to getting the girl. Or guy.

I suggest Silva (she's a demon, so she can't die here, and she's strong and needs some more action), Rose (she's got strong moves, and could use a chance to prove herself, plus she's a demon), Emily (ability synergy with Rose, and can be rebuilt if destroyed), and Lun. Because Lun is a demon and poor Lun never gets used. You should give our eye to Rose for this mission.

The reason you can't go is because if you die here there's an itty bitty chance it could cause a paradox in the mechanics of reality and freeze/destroy the universe.

Yeah, but it's not heroic to put your pride before everyone's safety. Besides, it would probably be good for the others to think they're contributing. And they could probably use the xp, since they aren't as awesome as you.

Fluffy (you're the hero, duh), Kas (it wouldn't hurt to have a healer, and priests are good guys, right?), Alice (arrows are good for hunting, right?) and...

Obviously time and space accounted for it, and we were meant to change history like that. He did end up using two eyes remember? What if she never came up with it without our help? That might have blown up the universe with a paradox! If anything, we just saved the universe and are a great hero by doing what we were always supposed to do according to time and space.

So there. Everything we'll do is actually written in stone.

Fluffy goes into Meagan's room and sees her scribbling something down. Without turning to face her she says-

The part where her womb would be at is perfectly covered by flesh. The concern is how deep her stomach teeth's roots go...

Maybe that's what she's curious about. Just tell her how reproduction works for your people if you know it and save you and her some trouble because she's totally go to ask and poke and pry judging from what she said about the sex stuff. I don't actually think she's going to get you to have sex or impregnate you or anything like that, just be your gynecologist probably. At most ask for one or two of your ovary eggs and see what happens under certain conditions through a microscope. IF she must know more, you can probably sneak her into your home village and get some medical charts and logs on pregnancies. Maybe even pay a few of your people for interviews. If you do or offer that for her she probably won't do a single thing to you.

Let's go see Lilith and ask if she has any Demon Thieves. A Thief can maybe steal the Law Essence and run, and if they're a demon dying will just mean respawning. As long as they add the Law Essence to our abstract inventory instead of holding it, it shouldn't be lost when they die, right?

...nonchalantly suggest that you've got everything you need and can go home now.

Also, reflect to yourself that maybe Meagan may be too intimidated by you to cause much trouble later. After all, it's not as if she would have risked bothering the thing you just killed...

This is ridiculous. It's like we're in a dream. Fluffy, did the golem knock you out on the first round or something? Might wanna wake up.

Wow. Good job Fluffy. I'll need to ask you how you train some other time. You know, for the next hero we need to help.

Seriously though, are you feeling ok? I'm worried about the consequences of excessive rule breaking.

Guyssss. I'm sure nothing bad's gonna happen to me or anything. It's real simple. Like... Once you are aware of the rules around you, it's easy to break em. You know?
S'cool.

Now, let's get this thing to the Overlord.

Once Styx has the shard she quickly begins work at freeing the Overlord. As she approaches what's left of him another tremor shakes the land. It seems that they've retried the shard with little time to spare.
She tosses the shard at the Overlord...

There is a cracking sound. The explosions finally cease and instead the entire thing implodes and forms a solid ball of energy. cracks form on the ball and chunks of it fall away.

Finally, the Overlord appears.

Fluffy. That is seriously the smartest thing you have ever said. It's not just a succinct acknowledgement of the power of understanding the world around you- it's a casual justification for reality breaking.

...we have to give her the Rule Breaker. She can totally use it.

That is at once reasonable and insane. Congratulations Fluffy, you are now a Lovecraft.
