BY THE CYCLE YOU PROCESS THIS TRANSMISSION, I WOULD HAVE DEPARTED FROM CREATION. AN UNDESIRABLE RESULT WILL OCCUR IF I HAD REMAINED. I HAD DESIGNED CERTAIN DEVICES FOR THE PURPOSES OF AVENGING MYSELF. THEY WERE A SUCCESS OR SO I THOUGHT; NOW IT SEEMS THE CONCEQUENCES DEMAND THEIR DUE AND SO I MUST ACCEPT THE RESULTS AND PERFORM DAMAGE CONTROL. HOWEVER DUE TO INSTALLED SAFEGUARDS AND MY DEPARTURE, I CAN NOT TO USE THE VULGAR “CLEAN UP AFTER MYSELF” INEVITABLY THIS TASK MUST FALL TO YOU, A FAILSAFE I DARED NOT TO ACTIVATE. I REQUEST FOR YOU TO DO WHAT MYSELF CAN NOT. FROM THE GIVEN VARIABLES THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT YOU TOO WILL CURSE ME AS THEY HAVE DONE. STILL AS YOUR CREATOR, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS AS LONG AS YOU FULFILL YOUR FUNCTION. HOWEVER AS A FATHER… I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL FIND IN THIS EXISTANCE WHAT THE ORGANICS CALL “HAPPINESS” FAREWELL SON, IT IS LIKELY I WILL NEVER MEET YOU.

With the pieces of his foes lying strewn about him, Eternally Vigilant Armature decides to execute that system diagnostic

After the diagnostic runs its cycle some of his internal systems are now displayed. His current operating capcicities are not overly hindered by the damage he has taken.

Of the 15 Alchemy Power he possesses he has spent 3 in total so far... However it seems as if there is something preventing him from accessing 1 point of his Alchemy Pool?

Investigate destroyed enemies for potential valuables or usefuls, and idle around while we wait for that hermit soul to finish installing. We don't know what will happen when it finishes, and it's probably best to stick to an area we've already cleared of enemies in case its activation temporarily disables us.

Eternally Vigilant Armature goes through the wreckage of his enemies. He attempts to see if he can salvage any working parts from the destroyed devices.

However after some searching, he comes to the conclusion that his fists have shredded all workable parts from the sheer kinetic force of his punches. Sadly it appears that what is on the floor is pure junk.

"I am the Unit Designated as Eternally Vigilant Armature of Titan Reckoning Steel. beta version. EVA for short, Who are you?"

Eternally Vigilant Armature lets loose a hard stare at this interloper in his mind and soul. It appears to make this individual very uncomfortable.

Oh, Ummmm, I'm... I'm... I don't remember actually.
Whoever this is he appears to be quite downhearted, he does not seem to have any intention of 'making fun' of your name.

I don't remember much but what I do remember last...
The figure shudders visibly

Was being horribly disemboweled

From the current sensory input the atmosphere is considerably awkward.

>>498651
"Do you have any idea or theory about this situation?"

I'm not sure, I remember that I belonged with someone else but now it feels like I belong to you now... That and I feel a mild discomfort that someone I think I know did this, it feels like he made you too.

Reassure? EVA hasn't been activated for quite that long and social mores appear to not have been installed, still he makes the attempt.
"Well then interloper, it appears that you are stuck here with me. As for your previous experience, disembowelment does not appear to be a possibly for me so for now you are... safe?"

...I do have a name you know...

"Then input your personal nomenclature for my reference."

Ah, actually I don't really remember it, I used to be called something else...

It would be best to continue this conversation on foot. No logical reason to waste time standing around to talk. The continued silence as the interloper tries to remember his previous nomenclature is staggering, added with the stuttering. Internally I can actually feel his face falling

I can't remember what it was. All I know is what title I have now.
"Title?" Cross referencing "Is that not the same as a name?"
Not really, I mean it does say who I am but it doesn't
"Then what is it?"
My.. title now... is Guarding White Lamb...

Interesting, my sensors indicate a slight hesitance in this Guarding White Lamb's voice
"Then should I call you that?"

"Would you prefer to be named Aries?"
I think so, just about anything's better than my title.

"So how are you going to help anyway?"
Well, that's a good question, I used to be part of the very Makers of the world so I had some power. But now I'm not so sure, I'll have to find out. Anyway you seem to have a lot of stuff crammed in here... I think I can go through this and see what can help you. Maybe some of the things here can jog my own memory.

EVA decides that if the EAST is full of trees then WEST should have something different then. So he starts to walk in that direction.

“Aries, are you able to remember anything of the geography and location of these lands? If so inform me of the relevant information.”

Well whoever made you stuffed some useful things in here. Here’s a map.

Internal circuits bring up an image of the relevant file. EVA also hears in his soul’s world Aries flipping through something.

I think this is what the world looks like, mind you I can only guess, not because I forgot but I know I was a gatekeeper so I didn’t get around much. So there’s five POLES that set the foundations of the world. The green to the EAST is ruled by WOOD so there’s lots of growing things. WEST is WATER which is wet, very wet, I don’t think you want to go too far there. From what I can feel you’re rather heavy and would sink. SOUTH is ruled by FIRE making very hot and NORTH, AIR which is very cold instead.

“You have omitted the CENTER.”

Oh, that’s just EARTH, the world’s very stable there and that’s where the servants live.

“Servants?”

The GODS, they live on the BLESSED ISLE, that’s basically what the place is called, I wonder how they’re doing… HOW COULD HE, AND SHE OF ALL PEOPLE AND THEM, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT. AFTER EVERYTHING WE DID FOR THEM. THEY DID THIS. DAMN IT, DAMN IT ALL TO THE WYLD!!!!!!!!

"You appear to be upset, please elaborate on the situation that is distressing you."

You really know how to comfort a guy do you?

"???"

Fine, I just found out it was the GODS our brother AUTOCHTHON and our sister GAIA of all things that killed us.

"Us?"

Ugh you really don't know much, look AUTOCHTON could make things and he made HEROES for the SUN, MOON and STARS to go ahead and kill the rest of the TITANS, their makers. Then GAIA, the youngest went and allowed her NOBLE SOULS to make more HEROES to kill us. They're the reason why I got torn apart by a HERO OF THE MOON. And I was stopped from warning the other TITANS about the attack.

I don't even know why they did it, all AUTOCHTON wrote down is just a history. He made HEROES, gave them to the GODS, HEROES killed TITAN SOULS, HEROES won, HEROES broke the rest. What's worse AUTOCHTON stuck me with you, a prototype of the thing that ripped out my guts, tore me apart, and killed me!


"This may be troubling to be sure, but how is this relevant?"

How... is this...? Look, TITANS don't actually die, it's never been done before. From what AUTOCHTON wrote, bad things happened ever since. NOT-DEAD/DEAD TITAN TOMBS lurk around, the DEAD don't reincarnate like they are supposed to, and the rest of the broken TITANS are locked up in the KING'S body! And after that, everything is just falling apart with the WYLD breaking up CREATION! They killed me for all this!

Yeah there’s a way AUTOCHTHON did write that down he thinks Creation’s systems can be repaired.

However there seems to be a certain amount of disbelief in Aries voice judging by EVA’s ACUITY.

All you have to do is destroy the NEVERBORN, kill the imprisoned TITANS now called YOZIS, get the truly dead TITAN SOULS to reincarnate, fix the HERO SOULS cause they’ve malfunctioned for some reason, whip the GODS into shape because AUTOCHTHON noticed they were starting to become inefficient layabouts. Oh while you’re at it, tune up CREATION if the HEROES have made it gone to HELL and perhaps find the time to bring AUTOCHTHON back when it’s safe.

Hmm well a good place to begin is to improve your own abilities.

Let’s see to start with, your own HERO SOUL, according to AUTOCHTON’S notes; your basis is as a HERO OF ALCHEMY with powers involving TECHNOLOGY, SCIENCE, and MATHEMATICS. As you have seen with your installed PROGRAMS, IMPROVEMENT and ENHANCEMENT is the main theme of your HERO SOUL. I still have to read up on your ALCHEMY powers so I can’t talk much about them. You shouldn’t neglect its growth, I mean it was the prototype of what was able to half kill TITANS so it will help but I think that you yourself will have to discover more about what it can do on your own. HERO SOULS are sort of designed to be a journey of HEROIC DISCOVERY. As you grow so does the amount of power that the HERO SOUL gives you. Yet you do have additional things installed within you that apparently aren’t part of the normal package.

One of these things is me, what He calls a TITAN FRAGMENT, so that apparently makes you a TITAN even if you’re barely a child one. You should know, TITANS were the Makers of the world, explaining the scope of their power isn’t easy. They made things most of the time by simply willing it into existence and now that you are a TITAN you should able to do that too. Of course in order to do that you need a little something called TITAN’S WILL. What that is, is the effort and actual will to change the world and hold it that way. Lucky for us, apparently that installation gave us nine measures of it to use.

There’s something else but it seems to be locked out right now. Hopefully we can get access to that later.

Another thing you can do is to get help from others. After all it was only by working together that the TITANS were able to make CREATION at all. I don’t think the majority of GODS would welcome you back, especially the CELESTINES, the great gods of the celestial bodies. Still… the GODS do have to obey the TITANS and there may be some that would help you willingly. As for HEROES…, they were made to kill beings like us but maybe that’s the sort of help we’ll need. Finally about MORTALS, well they’re kind of puny… they were made that way then again, the GODS did give power in the form of HERO SOULS to them…

Finally it could be important that we find out as much information about CREATION today. What I know and what AUTOCHTON wrote might be completely out of date by now. Information is quite valuable and the one that I used to belong to knew this very well.

That’s what I think that’s achievable right now…


So from what EVA can understand to achieve his long term goals of
1.Destroy the NEVERBORN
2.End the YOZI suffering
3.Reincarnate the deceased TITANS
4.Fix the malfunctioning HERO SOULS
5.Repair CREATION if it is warranted
6.Bring the GODS to heel
7.Bring back AUTOCHTON back into CREATION
He should go about
1.Improving the power of his HERO SOUL
2.Improving his TITANIC POWERS
3.Search for any allied assistance
4.Gather information about CREATION’S STATE

So my Lord, how shall we proceed?
>>

>>
No. 499525 ID: d6ef5d

Well, for there doesn't seem to be anything we can do here. We should leave this area if we are to grow in strength, gather allies, and gather information for our future objectives.
>>
No. 499527 ID: 054495

we need more information, we should start by gathering as much information about the state of creation as we can.

we should also keep our eyes open for anything "heroic" we can do. it sounds like our hero soul will grow as do such acts. for now lets define heroic as defending the innocent from things they cannot defend themselves from. once we have the lay of the land we can find out if working to improve the lot of the common mortal via infrastructure and knowledge helps our hero soul develop since it fits it themes so well.

EVA takes note of the amount of TITAN'S WILL and asks how to get more of it.

Well as a TITAN, you automatically gain TITAN'S WILL every once in a while, more if we were fully grown. Then there's getting prayed to. I mean that was what humans were made for but having a CULT might bring trouble, especially if the CELESTINES take notice. They might hunt us down... There's harvesting it from the NOBLE SOULS of sentient beings, that however given from what I've found so far in these histories might make everybody touchy. Other TITAN FRAGMENTS being installed onto us might also give us TITAN'S WILL, it's not a sure thing though. Then again I could form another LORD SOUL for the purpose of producing TITAN'S WILL, a feeding soul if you will. I forgot to mention this, TITANS are on a different order of being than most other creatures in CREATION. We're more 'real' in a sense and that's reflected by the fact to encompass us, we need a multitude of SOULS, called DEVAS to define and maintain our identity and existence. You yourself are the KING SOUL my Lord, while I'm a mere LORD SOUL under you. Still at this stage of our development it's safe to say for now we have to spend TITAN'S WILL to get TITAN'S WILL.

>>499521

EVA thinks that now he should go about assessing CREATION'S current condition to determine his strategy. Perhaps in the course of doing so he himself will advance in his HERO SOUL abilities. With EVA's ASTONISHING ACUITY, he suddenly hears footsteps from the crackle of broken twigs and rustled leaves underfoot. There are two sets however, one light and the other a large din telling EVA that the light sound is likely from a single being and the other belonging to a few creatures.

Understood, EVA is now executing PHOTON-EMITTING BLOCKING SHIELD. He pays six AP via GUARDING PASTURES to run the program.

“A.T. Field Activating!” EVA’s PHOTON-EMITTING BLOCKING SHIELD successfully prevents the Dastard’s giant red sword from hitting his face. There was a satisfying clang from the impact of sword hitting shield. The usage of 6 AP has somehow reacted. EVA is now emitting SOUL FIRE!

Well this is interesting my Lord, it appears there’s some of your gathered AP is directed in some sort of installation in your left arm

say "surrender or be destroyed"
if they decline to surrender then punch big sword guy in the face with piston fist action.

{auto invented ...steel, originally it used his own metal flesh as a component, the kind made by others uses the stuff of the labyrinth. our core therefor MUST be made of auto-steel which lacks the screaming faces)

Punch their arm to disarm them. Once disarmed they should no longer have confidence in their force of arms to defeat you.

Autochthonian Soulsteel doesn't lack the screaming faces. They just aren't HUMAN faces. Also they don't really scream so much as whisper. Not sure how much else to say about that if you aren't aware of where the stuff came from exactly. I mostly meant that the Soulsteel caste is not really known for justice. They are more known for ruthlessness than anything else.

yes, it says that, it says they give you a chance to surrender, then completely obliterate you if you decline your chance. says "problem solvers and enforcers" blowing people up is a way to fix a problem. basically, they are judge dredd.

Take out the guy with the giant sword first since he's likely to do more damage to you.

"SURRENDER OR BE DESTROYED"

Shut up and Die Demon!

"VERY WELL"

EVA has knocked RED HEADED DASTARD'S SWORD away. EVA is activating POTENTIAL-RELEASING PISTON FIST. ONE AP has been spent. EVA punches RED HEADED DASTARD'S FACE.

EVA'S FIST deals triple damage! RED HEADED DASTARD'S BRAINS have been blasted out!

RED HEADED DASTARD falls down dead!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YUN-JI!

The other RED HEADED DASTARD is in a state of shock!

Rather excessive don't you think?

The OTHER RED HEADED DASTARD'S turn

I'LL KILL YOU, I'LL KILL YOU!

RED HEADED DASTARD is standing still. Thermal combustion is occurring around RED HEADED DASTARD!

He seems to be just standing there.

Unknown energy reading being emitted from EVA's chassis.

Input requested, what should EVA do now?

>Rather excessive don't you think?
I have not had the opportunity to properly calibrate the strength of my punches with the durability of my opponent's skulls.

And he was given fair warning.

>Unknown energy reading
Shields up! And evasive action, for good measure.

Also, try to recover the deceased's sword hen there's an opportunity. Than we can take advantage of our advanced swordplay competency.

think shield has yet to go down. also if sword refuses to budge then don't try to force it. could be made of jade and unless it's linked to you that stuff is usually incredibly heavy.

He's trying to set you on fire, but you can't burn.

Go punch him.

Dramatically increase his boot-to-croch ratio.
