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

The first one most likely.

He could probably kill everyone in a week at most.

He probably left them alive to suffer knowing that their world is now a literal Hell.

 

Thank you, corrected.

Okay, I'll change that so she just starts with a regular magical metal lasso.

 

If he was possessed by Simon Culp, maybe they got to him that way; either Simon being more vulnerable or rendering Richard vulnerable?

 

Typo - replace “… Not is good health…” with “Not in good health…”

 

Indeed! That would be most dreadful.


Also, this from the archive:

The second link here is dead. I'm pretty sure that this is the image that used to be there. I'm not sure if you care about updating old dead links, but the option is there if you're interested.

Maybe there's a turn of phrase that I just don't know, but this doesn't parse right no matter how many times I try. I think it should be "make it look like it needed to look like".

 

Aww, for a second there I thought we were finally getting Raven…

 

Not in good health.

Edit: Ninja'd.

 

Thank you, corrected.

Thank you, updated.

I think it's fine.

 

Pissed off Shade would shift the balance against anything short of Darkseid so i imagine it's of the good to get him cured of demonic influence.

 

If Raven existed on this Earth I don't think there would be anyone left alive on it.

 

But what about pissed off, half dead Shade?

 

More potential corrections for old posts:

That should probably either be "that they did form a connection" or "that they formed a connection".

The Louvre's website has changed, so the link is dead. I think that you could use this one instead.

 

Zoat nerfed the character massively.

 

No, that's fine as it is.

Thank you, updated.

 

Should be ' fanatical '

 

There is a missing 'it' there, so it should say: 'and it did not'.

My guess is that they consider Earth a lost cause and have given up on it.

I wonder how Overman and Overgirl will feel about kicking the ass of someone who's an unrepentant Nazi? I bet he added his own Nazi spin to the Superman cult he leads.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

Maybe 'castle'

Welp, this should be quite the meeting.

Ohh boy, looks like Trigon may show up soon.

 

Not necessarily.

Zoat mentioned Job in a post of his, so the Angels may view the situation as being a good test of faith for their followers.

Overman may feel slightly grateful since he can actually fight someone that embodies the things he hates without being conflicted about it.

 

Maybe there's a Rachel Roth here hiding out and willing to jump worlds?

 

I was going to say Darkseid... But if it's Trigon they're fucked...

No... You don't bring Rachel Roth anywhere...

Her existence is a direct anchor for Trigon to enter whatever dimension she exists in...

 

Remind me, did Wolf Krieger get a Magic School Bus ride through the hounds of Odin, or was that honor reserved for Savage?

What do we think is more likely, readers: the local Swamp Thing or a Lord of Chaos aiding in a battle against demons/cultists/Nega-Superman?

 

Back with Karl and Angelika, then. And a royal audience with Morgaine le Fey. And I would not be surprised if she were remotely viewing the encounter, with a puppet decoy speaking her words. Only logical given the risk of a Kryptonian in her presence.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Hmm... Morgaine taking a moment to feel them out mystically before she greets them? Sensible.

The kind of teamwork that comes from long years of working together, I see. And Morgaine will have noticed that shift...

Given the lack of leering Superman cultists, she's got nothing to do with it, after all. Probably wondering why you've come to her.

And you'll keep hoping, I suspect. I don't see her being inclined to play nice...

Yeah, if they don't find a third option, neither of them will get what they want...

It's a nasty choice, isn't it? Condemn her people to a slow death, or let the daemons keep attacking his. Surely there's another way though...

Karma and Dharma, for the curious. Complex concepts for a complex situation. And they're concepts that made it to the West a long time before Nazis came about, so I'm not surprised Karl has some knowledge of them...

Necromancy, I see. Not the 'raising dead bodies' stuff, that's just something conflated with it. He has courage letting her do what she likes, though I expect he trusted Angelika to act if it seemed risky.

I expect works like that would be very interesting to Morgaine. Either as a personal defence, or as a threat to her ability to control people...

Or they have their own plans in motion. A test of faith... Shoring up the defences of the Silver City... Schematics for a new world...

Not in terms of blood on her hands, literal or figurative, but...

...Guilt is rarely a rational emotion.

That would be Mordred, and only in some versions of the myth of King Arthur... But it's definite in the DC version.

Well, it's not an outright denial. Probably the best they could have hoped for.

And there's that question answered. Probably forces she brought with her out of whatever fae realm she's been hidden in.

A large-scale ward bound to the walls of those castles, I expect. That can't be a lot of survivors...

Even travelling between realms would be risky, I bet. With every day that passes, the portals might grower less and less stable as demonic energies taint the earth...

A good analogy... Made especially harder since she's probably got limited sources for power to replace what's leeched out. Take too much, and they'd die, after all...

That would take considerable magical precautions, or an extremely strong will... Or someone already so corrupted the new taint is a drop in the water.

That god would be Trigon, If I remember right. Though depending on the timeline, he may already have been rebuffed by Raven and the Titans...

Given that their founder was a corrupted crusader, I'm not surprised.

I bet Karl recognises that name. After all, he was around during the war. And there's probably a bit of him looking forwards to killing him again.

That little revelation suddenly makes things just a little clearer. Wolf probably has enough skill to open portals to another world... And what better world to raid than one already aligned to National Socialism? I don't know if Wolf was a true believer or not, but I could see him wanting to take advantage of the people's ingrained submission to authority... I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

 

Is there a reason Paul suddenly stopped speaking with enlightened parentheses? Or did Zoat just not put them in yet?

 

The latest chapter was Overgirl, not Paul.

 

Gotcha, I was wondering why Paul mentioned his uniform not having a skirt.

 

This bit confused me at first because the 'return the favour' part is so far away in time "several seconds" from the bowing part.

Maybe move "Morgan does not return the favour." to before the sentence mentioning several seconds?

Also, was Paul speaking at all here? There's nothing with organge quote marks.

 

I'm not sure what you mean here.

I'm guessing the Krieger comment and Odin thing is him going to Valhalla when he dies, but the Savage thing doesn't make sense.

Savage hasn't shown any connection to the Norse gods in this story aside from briefly working with a worshipper of theirs, and he probably wouldn't worship them since he considers himself superior.

Krieger was killed by the Hitler clone.

 

Assuming Karl was the one that killed him back on his Earth.

The one on Earth 16 certainly was.
