I just want Weaver to take care of some final business in her home reality cluster like killing some terrible people, and taking care of both Eden & Scion corpses for good. And that all the reason I want her to return to this section of reality and nothing else.

Hey Planeshunter, what will Luz Lunar do when Weaver becomes a Vasto Lorde?

And why no Oblivion Pull events in the last... 2 chapters?
I'm fairly sure that's spoilers. Also, we're on the moon itself, obviously we're not approaching the void when we're right in her palm.

A tentative decision that isn't an outright yes or no for Earth-Bet, looking underneath the underneath, we keep nearly dying just from perceiving the Things through the five basic senses, there's no particular rush to recover all the past life memories since they don't impact anything anytime soon, and I wish for Moar answers.
 
Who or what is sadbat?
Sadbat is Ulquiorra Cifer, a fan favorite hollow. He is an arrancar in canon, but he looked vaguely like a Nightgaunt as a Vasto Lorde. As an arrancar, he wanted to find the human "heart" and understand emotions. He's pretty great. Someone else could probably do a better job of explaining him, though.

It's best not to invite trouble and even knowing about them seems to cause it. But if they are going to cause trouble anyways it will hurt more than help to bury our head into the sand.

We will learn the answer in time.

Options people we need more options, time for some write-ins.

Edit: Honestly with a bit of thought a little mystery might be a good thing. While getting the lay of the land would broaden Taylor's horizon, leaving it mysterious would give the author more wiggle room.

Be careful with how you react or you'll easily blow things out of proportion.
But escalation is half the fun! :V

Very few can move freely through the multiverse as a whole, through the Garganta has the potential to do it.
Does this mean we could eventually learn how to open a Garganta to someplace random (and hope we don't stumble upon eldritch horrors)?

And this time's winner is...

Now you just need to figure out if she's manipulating you or flirting. Social interactions are hard...

Yeah, let's not attract the attention of things that can kill you literally without trying. But that doesn't mean you have to remain ignorant and defenceless forever.

We should head back to earth soonish we've got a depressed strawberry's best friend to give birth to after all. Also the lesbian too I guess :p.

Speaking of which, as tatsuki's new, better, mom. fairy-godmother? Hollow-Godslayingmother. It's important that we actually care for her in the way her biological parents failed to do. We should make sure Ichigo is good enough for our daughter!

Not that we should be too hard on him. He'll eventually be our grandson after all... Wait.

While we are at it lets get to work repressing this line of thought immediately.

I hope in the far future Fortuna can be weird hat conspiracy buddies with a local candyshoppe vendor.

Okay then, I guess the most pressing questions have been answered already. Or maybe just asked. The pretty lady is a pro at giving non-answers if I've ever met one.

Why thank you. I do try my best, little godkiller.

… As I was going to think, I shouldn't be complaining though. I came here knowing nothing, expecting at most to find some clues I could use to figure out things by myself. Instead I found a gorgeous woman who maybe I'm crushing hard on OMG brain, just shut up! Anyway, she saved my life, it's cool with my species while most of the world, my kin included, only want to see us die, and has even tried to answer my questions on top of everything else.

Now you're just trying to make me blush.

… moving on, I don't think there's anything else of note I should be asking, so mayb— Hey, wait a minute! You were talking to someone else when I woke up, didn't you? Something about causing trouble?

More things you still can't remember, I'm afraid. But since it's not about me personally, I guess I can give you a hint? At this point I'll take anything, really. Too tired to argue. Then listen well and remember my words. The day will come when you meet the little queen again. Keep an open mind when you do, things have changed almost as much for her as they did for you.

Sure, another non-answer to put in the pile. Thanks, I guess. Now, I was going to ask ab—

Unfortunately, a sharp pain in my abdomen makes me abort that line of thought with a hiss. What the hell was that?

Oho? It sure looks like your children are in a hurry to be reborn, little godkiller.

What do you mean with that? I'm not ready to be a mom! I have dreams! A world to see! I can't be tied down by responsibility just yet!

The cycle of life waits for no one, little godkiller. She's having way too much fun at my expense. Though I guess you're already dead so… Would you like me to make the problem go away?

Go away as in…

They're still part of you, little godkiller. If you're so opposed to the idea of giving birth, I could meld them back into yourself. You'd even recover a vast amount of Essence from the process. Of course that would kill them or, well, make them deader.

… Don't you dare touch my children or I swear I'll find out how I earned that godkiller title you like so much and turn in on your perfectly shaped ass.

Yes, that's the little godkiller I know. It wasn't so hard, wasn't it?

Did you… just trick me into accepting motherhood?

It wasn't even that difficult. Your heart is in the right place, you just needed a little push to get past the jitters.

… Whatever, I get the feeling this is an argument I have no way of winning. So? What do I need to do?

The smile that answered my question makes me a little bit concerned about my immediate future…


Congratulations, little godkiller. You had two teenage girls!

That sentence is so wrong I dont even… No, not thinking about it. Let's focus on my chil— Ugh, not thinking about that either. Also, my abdomen is still on the generous side I was hoping to somehow get thinner after all this becoming mom business. This is a bit disappointing

Anyway, the kids are getting restless, and I've just realized they don't read minds like the moon lady. Maybe I should actually speak.
"So! Hello there, you two! How do you feel after dying, becoming part of a gestalt hungering spirit and then gestated back to non-life inside my body?" The two girls look at me with an expression hard to define. "Ugh, that sounded way better in my mind."

"I kind of remember that," The suicidal idiot answers. "In a blurry confusing way."

"I shared a body with Tatsuki-chan and can now die happy. I already did, actually." The glasses pervert unhelpfully pitches in. "Maybe next time I can do this with Hime."

Now that I think about it, if I'm the mom, who's the dad? Don't look at me, little godkiller, I'm the midwife at best.

"Shut up or I'll share my fist with your face!"

"Oh! How daring, Tatsuki-chan, I didn't know you cared!"

… Somehow, it has turned into an argument while I wasn't looking. Oh well.

Disparo Demora!

Twin sprays of silken thread turn the rowdy girls into children's wrap menus and, when they struggle, I poke them in the forehead. With my hair. No, I didn't use poison, no matter how tempting a healthy dose of tranquiliser would be around now. That would be bad parenting.

"Alright, that's enough you two." "Play nice with each other." Wish I could remember how mom kept me in line when I was being rebellious, guess it's winging it for me again. Turning towards the pervert, I do my best try at a mom voice. "Damegane, not taunting your sister into a frenzy."

"I have a name!" Damegane protests while I turn to her sister, who seems to be barely holding her laughter. I poke her again.

"And no braining your sister just because she's being annoying, Hagezaru." Now she's the one sputtering in indignation, but I cut off her rant before it can properly start. "You commited suicide by giant hungering spirit of mass destruction, if you want a real name you'll have to earn it. Unless you want to defend your actions?"

"You're not my real mom." The girl mutters while staring at her feet with a mullish expresion. I feel my eyebrows lower and vaguely register the other girls shrinking in her own cocoon. Oh, she didn't just go there.

"Wow, little godkiller, you can be savage when you get going"

I let out an inner sigh, watching my exceedingly well-mannered daughters sitting at the table Moon Lady summoned from somewhere to serve us tea. I might have overdone it. But! But it's for their own good! The sooner they stop acting out like attention-seeking teenagers the sooner I'll be able to pamper them and spoil them rotten!

This two girls deserve all the cuddles, but only if they behave.

Which reminds me. "Didn't you say something about being able to help the other two come along too? What would that involve?" The girls perk up at that, but the moon lady just grimaces.

"I'm still not sure I should involve you with my problems, little godkiller."

"Nonsense, you can't just keep piling goodwill on me and expect me to not return the favour. Now spill the beans."

At my words, the moon lady keeps quiet and peers into my eyes (eyeshockets, whatever) for a long time. It's only when I'm about to wave a leg in front of her face that she finally breaks the silence, apparently satisfied with whatever she's found in there.

"Within this moon." She starts slowly. "There's a place I cannot perceive. I know what it is, and where it is. But I have no idea what appearance it has, or how it works. Inside it lies the limiter that keeps me from interfering with the world."

"For me to help the lights still sleeping within you, I'd need more freedom to act."


"Sure, I'll release you from your bindings or whatever." Worse case, I'll Cero the entire place into a smoldering crater.

"Don't you even joke about it!" She yells, and it's the first time I see her turning completely serious. She's scary. Also looks a bit scared. "My kin is powerful beyond what you can imagine, and we grow stronger yet by observing conflict. I've spent nearly twenty millenia watching over a world in constant war."

"Yikes, that's a lot of conflict."

"It is, and I can't risk accidentally backhanding a whole dimension into smithereens just because I can't get a hold of my own power. You don't have to go into the place." She continues, apparently back in control of her emotions. "There are many other ways you can go about helping the lights."

"But I want to help you too!"

"Then you'll go in with utmost care, take the time to figure out how things work, and then lift the bare minimum of the restraints I set in place back then. Good-hearted as your offer is, if you can't promise me that I won't be able to accept it."

You now know how to help out the hollow moon, helping yourself in the process. But it's not without risks.

Help.
Well, of course you're going to help, a good turn deserves another, and she's done you enough to go full circle.
Maybe later. Thinking about it, you don't wanna think about what sort of defenses will be in the closest thing to the physical manifestation of a Goddess' subconscious limitations. Maybe later. Like, when you're the most powerful Vasto Lorde in the universe.
Too dangerous. You don't want to risk messing up and releasing too much. Something tells you that the comment about accidentally backhanding whole realities wasn't a joke.

[X][Help] Help.
[X][Help] May later.
[X][Help] Too dangerous.


You can't keep calling her 'the moon lady' and she's being uncooperative about her name, so you'll decide for her. From henceforth, she'll be known as…

Mons.
The name for the Moon Goddess in the Golden Sun games. Might be greek or something, no idea.
Elune. Some moon-worshipping tree-hugger elves somewhere used this name. Not sure about the elves, but the name sounds cool.
Seraph. The name of the virtual environment generated by the moon supercomputer in a distant reality across the multiverse. Moon related, yeah, if a bit too complex.
Selene. This one is actually greek, or roman or something. Don't look at me, I didn't pick a classics major. Goddess of the moon in any case.
Leosarb. An obscure name for the moon, in a multiverse the author created and wrote about, but never bothered publishing.
Akatsuki. Because it's a terribly popular name. I think it means Red Moon, so it also fits.
Write-in. Names are great things, and the possibilities too varied to cound. Give it your best try!

[X][Name] Mons.
[X][Name] Elune.
[X][Name] Seraph.
[X][Name] Selene.
[X][Name] Leosarb.


[X][Name] Akatsuki.
[X][Name] Write-in.


Damegane=No-Good Glasses. Title a certain pervert wore with pride (more like indifference) in a different reality.
Hagezaru=Hairless Monkey. I wanted to use something about suicidal recklessness, but got nothing. If you guys have a better idea to suggest, I'll retcon this chapter to change it.

Taylor is not amused with her children past feats.
