Unlikely, since Eden's unexpected lithobrake maneuver did not significantly shift that Earth's orbit.

He means every iteration of their planet across all realities.
1- We don't know that.Unlikely, since Eden's unexpected lithobrake maneuver did not significantly shift that Earth's orbit.
We know that Cauldron's flesh garden is in an impact crater on one Earth, and that their one Earth is still co-located with Earth Bet enough that Scrub + Labyrinth holes hit the surface rather than deep space. We saw the latter at the end of the Echinda fight.1- We don't know that.
2- She collided with multiple iterations simultaneously.
OK. So. Is anyone going to talk about Morood Nag's shadow shit? Holy. Crap. Honestly. If she was that powerful how did she not just win everything by herself? She could have just gone to every warlord outpost and eaten everything there, until she was literally unstopable. There has to be some sort of upper limit. Right?

Africa lacks the population density in this story to pull off true exponential growth. Parahuman warlords make city growth a huge problem as cities are valuable -> parahumans fight over value -> fighting destroys city. It would impose a fairly harsh cap on density. Also, she LIKES her home country and doesn't want to depopulate it. While she can and does wander into the camps of her enemies and depopulate them, it doesn't have the scale of Paris.

How dare you not bring Moord Nag to a satisfying climax!Also. Yes. The Moord Nag thing was intentionally anticlimactic. (Waits for bitching about THAT now, too.)
The bug monsters that controlled the infected were insect enough that her powers could see their senses. Not enough for her to control, just to watch.
Which seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to traumatize Kephri, honestly.
I'm reasonably certain that's not how Queen Administrator works. Either the organism has a simple enough nervous system to be controlled, or it doesn't. There's no gradient, it either works or it doesn't.
Unless the "bugs" have an organic nervous system that isn't actually connected to anything but senses, and the rest of the body "moves" through being manipulated by a telekinetic force like Shatterbird's power. Which seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to traumatize Kephri, honestly.

Correct. All possible iterations of their planet in all possible universes, which number more than the number of particles in any given universe(between 10^80 and 10^85), so probably enough to fill ONE universe if they so chose, which they didnt.They filled their planet. Not their universe.
At least, as far as I recall.

If those numbers are correct, surely they should fill multiple universes? Each entity is planet sized or larger according to SB, if there's enough entities to cover more planets than there are particles in the universe... entities are BIG.
Anyway, the upshot is that there are a LOT of them.
^What Zanfib said. They werent planet sized then. When ALL of them turned into TWO BIG ONES, then and only THEN did they become the size of Zion and Eden as they are before shedding shardsIf those numbers are correct, surely they should fill multiple universes?

You do realize they don't turn the entire planet into mass for their bodies. Chances are, the vast majority of that material gets consumed/fissioned/antimattered/exotic bullshitted into pure energy to supply themselves and their life cycle. These bastards use a LOT of power.If those numbers are correct, surely they should fill multiple universes?

Originally, they only blew up the planet in order to launch themselves into space. They didn't eat it.You do realize they don't turn the entire planet into mass for their bodies.

The thing that occurs is that they focus onto one world, pull as much/all of the energy of the world onto a single iteration then draw down the energy into themselves and their offspring.Originally, they only blew up the planet in order to launch themselves into space. They didn't eat it.
Not sure if that changed over the various cycles, but IMHO the idea that they never changed their launch procedure has a sort of brutal elegance.
Here's what they do:The thing that occurs is that they focus onto one world, pull as much/all of the energy of the world onto a single iteration then draw down the energy into themselves and their offspring.
The side effect of drawing untold amounts of energy onto only a single/few worlds generally results in melting/exploding of the planet.
1/ Blowing up the planet is not a side-effect, it's the whole point.Interlude 26 said:They spend time reorganizing themselves, shifting the sheer masses of shards they have acquired into forms useful for another task.
Once they are reformed, they leech all of the heat and energy from countless worlds and concentrate it in a single reality. The energy boils the oceans of silt-choked waters, disintegrates the landmasses.
Their bodies form into a large, complex shape, with only small fragments in this one world. The extensions of those same fragments extend into other realms, in concentrated, specific shapes, made for a purpose: to survive the next step.
The energy is released, and the planet shatters.
The shattering is so extreme that it extends into other worlds, through the same channels that the fragments used to extend into other realities. Every single one of the remaining habitable worlds is destroyed in the ensuing blast.
Oh good, someone did find the actual quote.
Removing emotional responses from the equation, giving Eidolon the Coil treatment (aka radical but non-life-treatening personality chirurgery) is probably one way that would preserve his powers while stopping the Endbringer-itis.Yeah, you know, up until this point, Pantheon may have been in the 'Get Eidolon some help' category when they find out he is the Endbringer.
Now? They will likely be in the 'We will remove the brain from your body and do science to it, while keeping you alive and able to feel everything. AKA: Give him to Riley."
Well, maybe. At the very least, a Death sentence.
That shit is just too fucked up.
And I see I am not the only one who considers it.Honestly if they can figure out it's actually Eidolon, the most merciful method of resolving the problem is to lobotomize him. Remove his ability to think freely, he does exactly what he is told but has no thoughts of his own. He might even suggest it himself because that would at least leave his meat-robot body behind to put his powers to good use while removing the creativity that brought about these horrors.

Nope.
Had this, have the next, and Scion all mapped out. Including the general outline of this speech Lisa just gave. Hehe. Yeah, you didn't actually think I was actually going to tell you what it was, did you?
Also. Yes. The Moord Nag thing was intentionally anticlimactic. (Waits for bitching about THAT now, too.)
Peanuckle has essentially voiced my opinion. Lisa was doing extreme trash talk at the Endmakers. No vision. No tricks for the last. No unexpected actions. No true power left. Annoyance, she calls them.Well that's very interesting. My guess is Lisa has figured out that the Endmaker has some means of perceiving them, so the speech is to intimidate them or ruin their inspiration. Alternatively it's just a morale booster.
My guess is "not very." Even in canon when Taylor was doing this with 5000+ parahumans, he wasn't giving a single fuck.Can all of you people even imagine just how pressed will Scion be, once all the Endslayer combinations are tested against him?
The problem with that is that Endbringers don't even come near Scion's level. He has a significant amount of ridiculously strong powers (though he prefers his single, OP power) that are only tempered by his inability to find fucks to give, and in canon his interest in making people suffer rather than actually killing them.Can all of you people even imagine just how pressed will Scion be, once all the Endslayer combinations are tested against him? Training mode for Scion battle, that is all the Endbringers amount to, nowadays.
