Technically true... But this also means now we can talk about the time Orange Lantern's stupidity doomed an entire universe.I think you guys are mainlining the Sailor Moon Universe and the events too deeply. What happens after the MC leaves doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the story, so the consequences of his actions don't either. Think back to MC from the Buffy universe in Sunnydale, or the variant in Fallout, or the variant in Stargate, how they immediately became irrelevant to the story after the chapter changed.
So long as the ability exists (and Zoat will not trap the MC in any of these places) we can largely forget they ever existed.
How long has it been since wwe touched on the variant using the Blue ring or the Red ring? Real life years.
Just my 5 cents.
The Sailor Scout transformation protects against Mind Control, Corruption, Environmental Effects, Transformation, Baleful Reality Alteration, and Damage as a standard.Well, I haven't watched Sailor Moon, but I did watch the Death Battle episode where she fought Beerus, so I'm well-aware that blowing up a planet with a finger is just a fraction of what she can do.
Still, Paul has fought plenty of enemies with equivalent power, and the Ophidian is a reality warper, so if it cuts completely loose, it should be able to match her without too much trouble. Also, you never answered my questions from earlier:
Does she have a defense against the following abilities?
* Getting branded.
* Getting assimilated.
* Having her desires shredded.
* Exotic non-magical weaponry (antimatter, crumbler rounds, x-ionised weaponry).
* The sword of 2nd and 3rd.
* Some kind of viral weapon, considering that she doesn't seem to be wearing a mask.
* Nth Metal
* That one attack where Paul kills you from the inside-out by spawning The Green from inside your body.

The only way to overcome that protection is by having more power then the Sailor Scout you're fighting.
Counts as Mind Control/Corruption
Counts as Damage/Environmental effects.* Exotic non-magical weaponry (antimatter, crumbler rounds, x-ionised weaponry).
Was destroyed, but would have counted as Transformation.
Counts as Damage.
Counts as Corruption/Damage.
You're comparing normal Sailor Scouts to Galaxia...Not conventional damage, though. They literally destroy you at the atomic/molecular level, which bypasses conventional physical or magical durability. Plus, there's plenty of times in Sailor Moon where we see that while Sailor Scouts are resistant to damage, they're not completely immune either.
Plus, if her bracelets' atoms get dissolved by crumbler rounds…
The First and Second were just powerful ancient demons, not nigh-omnipotent.No, it wouldn't have. It was a sword that could cut through literally any defense, and it had the power of two nigh-omnipotent beings within it.
Season 2 Episode 34 Filler episode Venus: Minako's Nurse Mayhem, the group get's infected by a magical virus in their normal forms, gets treated by Minako and then "magically" get better when they transform into their Sailor Scout forms to try and save Minako.I don't know the show all that well, but wasn't there an episode where Usagi got affected by a virus created by one of her villains? Doesn't that prove that diseases can affect them? Plus, if her Sailor Senshi powers could remove that, why didn't she just instantly cure herself by transforming and then use her powers on herself?
Magic Resistant not Magic Proof, this would be like expecting Tugstein to survive being tossed into the sun.Plus, Nth Metal is magic-proof, meaning that most, if not all of Galaxia's attacks would have been ineffective against it. So if anything, it'd be Galaxia who would have trouble damaging the Nth metal.
Which it does by projecting a magical force inside the enemies body...No, it does not. There is nothing corruptive about that ability, it just spawns plants that continuously grow inside of your enemy at ludicrous speed. That's it. And even if her internal organs can resist being torn to shreds by that (which I call BS on), the plants actually don't need to directly damage Galaxia to neutralize her. So even if her organs can't be directly damaged by the plants, there's several ways Paul can exploit them to kill her.
Think about it: Paul could make the plants instantly grow in her veins, arteries and airways to obstruct them and prevent the flow of blood throughout her body, and even stop her heart from beating altogether to give her a massive stroke. Or worse, he could make plants instantly grow to her brain and clog up the blood vessels to stop her brain from functioning correctly, making her lose control over her bodily motor functions and giving her seizures, aneurisms or even a cerebrovascular haemorrhagic stroke.
The First and Second were just powerful ancient demons, not nigh-omnipotent.
You're comparing normal Sailor Scouts to Galaxia...
Galaxia's base of operation exists within the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy... She is literally exposed to more exotic physics breaking effects just drinking a cup of tea...
Season 2 Episode 34 Filler episode Venus: Minako's Nurse Mayhem, the group get's infected by a magical virus in their normal forms, gets treated by Minako and then "magically" get better when they transform into their Sailor Scout forms to try and save Minako.
Which it does by projecting a magical force inside the enemies body...
Which it does by using the orange light to manipulate what little desires plants have to cause them to do things. It was why the dryad, who's name I can never remember told him to stop. He was 'making plants do things by making them want things like animals'.Which it does by projecting a magical force inside the enemies body...
Hellblazer lore has it failing to kill the only target it's ever used on...Hellblazer lore begs to disagree. And it can kill literally anything with a capital "A", even cosmic beings who can end the universe with a thought.
Eternal Sailor Moon defeated Galaxia, this is what happened when the two most powerful "normal" Sailor Scouts tried to fight her.Those so-called "normal Sailor Scouts" are the ones who ultimately defeated Galaxia, remember?
Also, that doesn't really mean much, considering that these weapons have been shown to work against enemies who break regular physics just by existing too, so it's questionable if Galaxia being tough enough to live in a supermassive black hole would be enough to protect her.
Again, it requires inserting a damaging force into her body... That would not work...The Green is not a magical force. It's classified as a separate force from magic in the DCU.
Also, even if it was magic, Galaxia's magic resistance wouldn't actually help her, because while it might prevent the plants from directly harming her internal organs, it wouldn't stop them from indirectly disrupting her bodily functions like I described in my last reply, because it would massively clog up and disrupt her insides, thus crippling and potentially killing her without actually directly injuring her.

Point in fact, we had a whole bit where after the First found out that the Second and Third were just powerful demons and not the same sort of being as him, he stomped their shit in and killed them.
...Even though he died by being cut by a sword made out of them? Literally stripped of all power despite being the second most powerful thing in existence??

Hellblazer lore very does not.

No they didn't.
Galaxia killed them and raised their corpses to fight Usagi and force her to destroy them. After which, Galaxia shrugged and tossed their souls into the Galaxy Cauldron.

Yes, it does. Otherwise, the knife wouldn't have been able to kill the First's original incarnation.
Regardless of what you believe, the fact of the matter is that it did kill the First, and that's undeniable.
First, it does not matter. OL does not have the Sword. It was destroyed.
Second, I literally posted the pages of the comic. The First straight up says that they were just demons. Strong, but still just demons, so he could slap them down with "a simple holding spell" and then gibbed them.
Prior to Usagi directly catching Galaxia's attention, Galaxia was systematically traveling from inhabited world to inhabited world. So think of what Usagi did as causing the Guardians in Earth's solar system to jump the line.
I really don't think you have a proper understanding of just how powerful Galaxia is...

Orange Lantern could mainline the Ophidian, and it would still be the equilivant of Yamcha trying to fight Perfect Cell.
Go to the three ... that are Insert, left click, and select select Media.How do you post Youtube videos in QQ? I've tried before but all I get are links to the youtube page in question.
Yup... Sure... Because Endymion would just automatically believe the random guy running around with demons..."And… Princess Serenity?"
"Reincarnated, but Guardian Moon doesn't remember anything from her past life. She's not the same girl."
"I see. Then.. there is little for me to do but wait for my mind to be reduced to an echo in the back of this boy's head."
"Or you could take part in one last epic quest with us." I turn to Sandro. "Can you open the portal?"
"I'm certain that I could in time, but it seems to resonate better with Mazikeen's magic than mine."
Mazikeen steps up to it, eyes blazing with eldritch fire as she raises her hands. "Yes. It feels a little like the Gate of Hell, and I know the spell which-"
The portal opens in a flare of fire.
"-unlocks it."
A desolate wasteland of grey sand greets us.
I nod, and turn back to Prince Endymion.
"Coming?"
I think the party just got it's first martial, leaving us with wizard, cleric, sorceress, and either fighter or paladin depending on the build.

Better than having them stacked about the walls like firewood. And this way you get them swanning about the edges of the space for some atmosphere. Wouldn't be a good, proper bit of necromancy without atmosphere.Terror Nova

I drop down into the… Ritual space, inside D-Point. Dead youma have been raised as… Zombies?
"Why zombies?"
But then you have to either wait for the fleshy bits to fall off first, peel them off yourself or endure the slapping of the bones moving about in stinky meat suits."Why?" Sandro turns towards me from the dais where he's studying the stone arch which appears to have been the focus of things. "None of them were powerful enough to become wights."
"I thought that skeletons were more useful. More agile, capable of using weapons…"
Right, that's going to be a critical part of their next jaunt, unless they plan to play 'Sliders'."Ah. Well, that's true, but I don't really have the time to prepare the bodies. I just wanted them to walk out of the way, really."
I nod as I land next to him. "Any clue where Angelica went?"
No doubt relieved to see her undamaged, if not emotionally unharmed."The world through this portal. They were using a link between your friend Mazikeen and something already on the far side in order to maintain it. I'm not certain how, but I'm hopeful that Mazikeen will be able to offer a little more-. Ah, here she is."
I turn as Mazikeen enters from the passage to the dungeons, the remaining parts of Death's Embrace in her arms. I-. I tether them with filaments and move them over to Sandro for him to don, and then transition up to her and wrap my arms around her.
Given the shit she probably went through here? You represent her best chance of getting back somewhere where reality makes sense."I'm very glad that you're safe."
She.. actually hugs me back, without hesitating. Huh. Thought that would be harder.
There are so many responses to that, especially considering his rushed resolution of things here..."You're surprised."
I let go and step back. "You've spent a lot of time in Hell. I imagine that a lot of people have tried to take advantage of your link to Lucifer, and they're not exactly the best people anyway. And I don't have the best reputation."
Well, sort of? I mean, she does have a lot of 'soft' power down there, even if she's not exactly exercising it. She does hold a throne, last I recall, but she's not exactly interesting in expanding her territory?"Compared to most of the Lords of Hell, you have an excellent reputation."
"You're a Lord of Hell?"
I noticed she barely blinked at 'Lushun's new appearance, but she's seen stranger demons and devils. An ersatz Grim Reaper cosplayer is hardly anything special in comparison.I turn towards Sandro, who's paused halfway through donning the Cloak of Death's Shadow. I look at-. Mazikeen and I both look at him for a moment.
"Her or me?" / "Which of us are you.. asking?"
And to some degree, the folks imprisoned there are the ones keeping themselves there, out of a belief they need to be punished.He fully dons the Cloak, then strokes his mandible with the fingers of his right hand. "I am now concerned regarding both of you. I am not a devout man, but I'm not blind to the connotations."
"Our Hell is different to Sheogh. It's a place where the souls of the damned go for punishment, but the demons who run it aren't constantly trying to break out and conquer the world. They're really more into tempting people into sin so they get their souls when they die. Avoiding going there is a simple matter."
Like the Hellenic afterlife OL is so fond of."Completely ignoring temptation may be a simple matter, but it's certainly not an easy one."
"No, you just need to pick a religion that sends your soul somewhere else and you're good. I mean, they'll probably have a different set of punishments, but you'll avoid Hell specifically."
Not entirely unsuccessful, either. It turns out doing it OL's way makes for more profit than the old way."And… Your involvement?"
"I was involved in trying to convince one of the senior demons that it was in his interest to moderate punishment in exchange for faithful service."
Sometimes by force, if need be? Some idiots just won't take 'no' for an answer without a little percussive persuasion, after all."And you, madam?"
"I used to be the personal assistant of the one who oversaw things. Theses days I mostly look to my own interests. Cultivating assets, increasing my own knowledge and power and encouraging those who think I should be their pawn to look elsewhere."
Putting it very simply indeed. Though it seems she kind of tolerates the attention now, at the minimum."And your relationship?"
Mazikeen glances at me, a faint smile on her lips. Alright, let's hear it. "To put it simply, he's my father's new partner, and wishes to be involved in my life out of a sense of paternal responsibility."
Oh-ho! Endymion did get revived, just like I thought. Surprised he's lingering here when the others have left, unless he's stuck without teleportation."I… See. I suppose that answers my concerns-."
"But not mine." A armoured man of oriental extraction appears from thin air, sword in hand. "Who are you, skeleton?"
When you live as long as he has, you tend to amass a lot of title and epithets. It's hardly his job to keep track of them."Lich and nethermancer, actually. A skeleton would not be able to hold a conversation." He pauses for a moment, then folds his left arm across his chest and makes a shallow bow. "Alejandro Dela Segadora of the Bull Duchy of the Holy… Oh, I forget what dynasty it was. The Holy Whatever Empire. Also called The Shadow of Death. The Netherlord. The Great Lich. Master of the Order of the Void." He shrugs. "But please, call me Sandro."
And since he's made the trip once, it'll be easier for him to return later. Especially now that he knows about the dangers like that essence-eating critter."And what do you want with my people?"
"Your people? I fear that you're making a false assumption, there. We are all leaving. Though I am not averse to returning, once my current commitments are at an end."
A kingdom that wasn't really elaborated on in any material, notably, beyond the fact Endymion was its prince and the 'four heavenly kings' were his bodyguard. All we can guess was a roughly late-medieval level of advancement based on their clothing...
Revived by the Senshi's casting, of course. Honestly surprised he didn't make himself known to them when they were still here. Then again, the mental unsettling of being brainwashed, killed then revived...Oh… Heck.
"I thought Metalia killed you."
"She did. I awoke here, in the traitor Beryl's pit, and took measures to conceal myself until I could discover would foulness was afoot."
Which may well be good news to him in some respects.I take a-. Ow. Okay, I try to take a look and get rebuffed by some sort of magic. But if he's like the Heavenly Kings, then his past life memories have overwritten his current life memories, which… Oh dear.
"Ah. Okay, I've got some very bad news. Ah. Though, on the plus side, Queen Beryl and the evil spirit sponsoring her are now dead."
Guess he wasn't conscious through most of the time between whatever went wrong here and his revival.His sword is lowered a little. "What is the bad news?"
"Everyone else died, thousands of years have passed, and the only reason why you're talking to me is that you got reincarnated and your reincarnation's memories of his current life have been suppressed."
Desperation and grief will do that. Especially when said desperate woman is a powerful sorceress in possession of spells capable of casually rewriting reality on small scales even without the Crystal.He frowns disbelievingly. "How?"
"Apparently, Queen Serenity did something with the Silver Crystal. I'm trying to be charitable to a dead woman, but it honestly sounds pretty messed up."
Sadly, the end of the battle that led to Queen Serenity's final spell didn't have a lot of survivors around. And then the Outer Senshi had Saturn blow up what was left, including themselves, I think?"You believe that Queen Serenity murdered… No. I had no love for her, but she would not do something so horrific."
"I have a suspicious mind, and all of my sources either don't remember, didn't see everything, have a good reason to lie or all three."
Especially if Endymion chooses to release control of their body or not."And… Will his memories return?"
"My knowledge of human neurophysiology suggests that they will… But… I don't know the magic involved well enough to say."
At least she's got a good-ish relationship with Mamoru Chiba. Even if he is a little older than her..."And… Princess Serenity?"
"Reincarnated, but Guardian Moon doesn't remember anything from her past life. She's not the same girl."
As long as you can promise Sandro can bring him back here afterwards, promptly. Otherwise this universe is double-plus fucked."I see. Then.. there is little for me to do but wait for my mind to be reduced to an echo in the back of this boy's head."
"Or you could take part in one last epic quest with us." I turn to Sandro. "Can you open the portal?"
Careful, who knows who's waiting past that portal?"I'm certain that I could in time, but it seems to resonate better with Mazikeen's magic than mine."
Mazikeen steps up to it, eyes blazing with eldritch fire as she raises her hands. "Yes. It feels a little like the Gate of Hell, and I know the spell which-"
...Okay, a bit calmer than some parts of DC Hell.The portal opens in a flare of fire.
"-unlocks it."
A desolate wasteland of grey sand greets us.
The alternative is OL giving him a teleport back to Japan and Mamoru Chiba walking home with a sore head and a confusing memory of the last while.
Following the TOC, the threadmark should say Terror Nova (supplementary, SI option).
He holds the Golden Crystal, the moment he leaves the universe everyone on Earth outside of the Sailor Scouts should drop over dead.As long as you can promise Sandro can bring him back here afterwards, promptly. Otherwise this universe is double-plus fucked.
