Thank you, corrected.
You appear to have missed that yesterday's segment was from the viewpoint of Overgirl.A bit of oddness my OCD noticed with the Chapter Timestamps. A lot of things appear to be happening at once
Part 11: 2005 GMT+1 so, 19:05
Part 12: 19:16 GMT
Part 13: 19:21 GMT
Part 14: 19:26 GMT
Part 15: 19:29 GMT
Part 16: 19:46 GMT <-- The latest events of this sequence so far
Part 17: 19:59 GMT+1 so, 18:53 a step back?
Part 18: 19:04 GMT <-- Paul waiting to speak to the Queen
Part 19: 17:21 GMT-2 so, 19:21.
Paul managed to do his business with who ever is sitting on England's (Britain's?) throne, get back to Superman and do a lookie-loo at the remains of Atlantis in 17 minutes?
For that matter Part 13 and part 19 have the same timestamp, accounting for timezones.
Was this intentional or a flub with the times? Do we have a single Paul and company playing in this Hell-Earth dimension, or have multiple versions all decided to do the tour at the same time.
OCD is a terrible thing.
So Far we got Hell and The Shadowlands.
Yeah Good Luck with that, I imagine The Silver City sent reinforcements to lock down the gates of eden.
Wouldn't creating another immortal cave-man make a host of new problems? It's possible that this new cave-man does the exact same thing or worse to the world. Also since no one knows how the meteor works just exposing yourself to it could make you insane.
Going to the DC Atlantis when there is literally Hell on Earth?
Is Oh El going over a checklist of stupid things to do and then actually doing them?
They didn't survive, but checking to see if there's anyone there isn't exactly a stupid thing.
Yes it is because as pointed out the demon thing has been going by two years.
If the Silvanas didn't survive and let me remind you; they have a base on Venus, then everyone in Atlantis is dead or in the side of demons.
The smart thing to do us to deny Demon Superman the home advantage, lure him into another Earth were they have everything needed to take him down.
Don't go into a Tinker/Mad Scientist Lab and don't fight a demon in Hell.
And if Demon Superman won't leave his Earth then use hit and run tactics.

Trying to recruit locals is entirely pointless because if the locals had the means or will to fix their situation they would have done so ages ago... Asking for Intel IE what he did with Lantern Green Man is correct, but everything else has been stupid
So?
A few chapters ago we saw a place where the demons still haven't taken over, and Atlantis had access to powerful magic, so it's not that difficult for Paul to think that they may have survived.
They didn't check the base on Venus, only a base on Earth.
The Sivanas may have left the planet, or they could have been killed, but just because they have a base on Venus that doesn't mean they were somehow immune to being killed.
They tend to spend time on Earth and could have been killed then.
Not really.
Getting information from the locals would be extremely valuable.
True they may not have much of a way of undoing the damage but that doesn't mean that they weren't studying the situation, and that info would be valuable.
Intel value increases the more complex a situation is, there is little complexity here, there is no gray area in regards to who is the bad guy and who needs to be stopped.
Sorting out how the demons are invading Nazi earth is important in the same way disabling the Suez Canal was important during WW2... If you can decapitate your enemies swiftly then holding the Suez is irrelevant and can easily be done after your enemies are broken.
This is a filler arc that hopefully will tie to more important things later, but on its own I am not invested even more so with the hoops the narrative has taken to mitigate the resources/characters involved.
If Nabu had sent Paul to Demon earth as a fuck you during assimilation, that would have achieved a more interesting development with similar constraints to the characters involved in the episode (less characters from the large pool at Zoat disposal). Having Paul and his little strike team jumping half cooked with no plan feels stupid in comparison.

Have you missed the part where the superheroes are trying to save as many people as they can, including all the ones that were corrupted by demons? Because that's what they're trying to do, and that means figuring out how the hell to properly reverse what's happened. Which means understanding the situation.
They need to do scouting and intel gathering before they can have anything resembling an actual plan.
Hell, at the moment they have no proof that it's even this universe that's doing the invasions, just the word of Truggs of all people, so they need to find that out before they can tell how many resources to put into fixing this problem.
They already know how, it was literally done a few updates ago
All they need is to do is hold down Demon Superman long enough for any of their allies with angel magic to burn the demon shit out of him, if that kills him well who cares?
There is zero complexity to this problem beyond learning exactly what Truggs was doing and how the demons are jumping to Nazi earth, as far as the fic is concerned the stakes in this episode couldn't be lower.
Except not really.
They only have one example of a corrupted being, the Demon Supergirl, and when Loriel burned out the Hell magic from her it didn't get rid of it completely, some if it became a part of her very soul.
Their current method is a bit too brutal and does not fully work so it makes perfect sense that they'd want to find a better one that would get rid of all the Hell magic, as well as fixing the magic of the planet itself.
Finding info in Atlantis would be a good way to do that since it's not such a leap of logic to think that they'd study what happened and how it happened.
It's like how medical professionals study the development of disease in order to figure out a way to cure it.
And seeing as I'm using medical examples to describe the situation, Loriel's method can be viewed as something like an amputation and these guys may want a less severe method.
Amputations were once used pretty frequently to get rid of iinfectionsand disease but people still try to find ways to get rid of disease without cutting off a part of a person.
They may care since they want to cure the people of this world and if the method kills him then they may not be able to do that.
You forgot the complexity of how the people and planet is being changed by the Hell magic.

Hell earth doesn't matter, is the location of this weeks episode. It's filler. I don't give a fuck about anything that happens in it and the things that happen in it do not seem to be related to any of the larger plots in the fic at least the few remaining interesting ones, because what Truggs and the light have been doing isn't really interesting because there is no background build up to it.
Does anyone care if either Overman or Angelika die?
The answer to all of that is no
It's one where a demonic Superman rules America with his demonified superheroes as his lackeys. Of course it's unsettling. I just hope that Paul and the rest can get something useful from this trip to hellish Earth. Also, Mr Zoat, which is a more appropriate designation: Demon Earth or Hell Earth? Or will you give this one a number?

I'm a little surprised someone of his magnitude of power was also defeated and corrupted."Richard Swift. And he-."

That should say 'Angelica's'.One railgun round for that, one with a tiny piece of one of Angela's discarded feathers and hope that he was serious about that whole 'God wants nothing to do with me' line.
That should say 'His'.Hs skin burns and blisters as the demonic magic is -hopefully- purged from him.
If nothing else, they got at least one potential new ally against Demon Superman. I'm wondering how he would interact with the Shade from Earth 16. Would he know about Simon Culp and inform his counterpart about the dwarf's presence?"H-aa. H-aa. H-aaa."
Mr. Swift is… Not is good health, but there's no sign of demonic activity and his powers appear to be under control. He weakly opens his eyes, makes momentary eye contact with me, then loses consciousness.
