With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Steelplaza]

Not that Paul is under any formal requirement to issue explanations for calling upon the Ophidian, but I am sure even Dox would understand "preventing the destruction of three inhabited planets". Even at the scale of the Reach War, that is a serious disaster.

 

[Ardy]

I would like to take this moment to call back to the earlier visit to Thanagar in Wing and Dagger, where he specifically told Thanagar that HE DID NOT WANT TO FIGHT THE SEVEN DEVILS, the fact that cultists were able to to start feeding a sun to one of them is pretty high on the list of things Paul should be pissed with Thanagar about, making it (along with Zoat's comments) more likely Hyathis is going to end up in charge of Thanagar soon, or at least the new agreement will be heavily in her favor.

 

[Signaller]

Outside the limits of Thanagar's thaumosphere, how much of a problem do the Devils actually pose? Where do they fit on the spectrum Reach-Apokolips-Dominion-Spiders?

Oh, and how's Vulcan doing?

Their cults are relatively small, and they have no significant fleet. Of the Seven Devils, Onimar Synn is the strongest, and he's sub-Darkseid dangerous. By which I mean that he has to rip your soul out and eat it rather than just look at you in order to kill you.

His workshop's about ready and he's looking forwards to a full and productive work schedule.

does the citizenry know of Vulcan's true nature? i'm just wondering if, once he's into full production, the masses may start putting enough faith into Vulcan that he may get powered up enough to take on the Seven Devils himself. or, at the very least, establish himself as a verified alternative and start really sinking his thaumic roots into Thanagar.

 

[NightmareWarden]

It sounds like this system's star has been shaken out of its passivity, and might become a major spirit for all of the worlds in its orbit. I'm not sure if the quantity of the energy it received is significant.

The regular citizens don't know there's a Vulcan.

Oh, he's not on Thanagar. Too risky. They put him on one of the colonies.

Now I regret not posting my original thought on the conclusion to all this many updates ago.

Organian Peace Treaty.

The original Star Trek series had an episode where the Federation and the Klingon Empire were on the verge of war. A powerful species of energy beings, the Organians, told them enough of this shit, we are not permitting a war.

The question is if Paragon can actually demonstrate sufficient power to enforce this and make it stick.

 

[Vaermina]

When you have the power of a cosmic being at your disposal, the previous rules of the universe start becoming suggestions.

Heck, the first time Paul merged with the Ophidian he actually created Nth Metal, so he does have previous history of being able to manipulate it.

Yeah, but that was merging with the Ophidian not jumping into the holden and doing the soul snake thing.
