Thank you, corrected.Unrelated, correction:
There's a excess quotation mark here. This is just inner monologue, not speech.

Quadruple space here, in the reply box. Shows normal in the post....any sort of precise cover-up. Certainly, he was never seen with a paramour or offspring afterwards. So I can't depict-.
It's interesting to see OL showing this kind of respect for the dead, though the reasoning is made clear later.Obviously I can't wash or anoint his body, and… I never thought to ask what the alternative was when a physical body wasn't available. A wreath I can do, though exposure to vacuum swiftly leaves it brittle. Two Themysciran coins-."
So he missed the whole.. debacle at Christmas. Good to know.
I expect if the word went public, there'd be celebrations in the streets."Dude, there's no body. You can't bury anything. And no way's anyone mourning that psycho."
Pragmatic.The coins and wreath go into the urn, the wreath crumbling to dust as it brushes the rim of the opening. And I add the handful of organic Tartarathian calls I found in the wreckage of the station. They might not be his, but… I mean… If.. the rest died here… This can be for them as well.
"Do you want this guy coming after you as a ghost? Because not doing this is how you get that.""Souls exist. Ghosts exist. The performance of proper funeral rites prevents the formation of angry ghosts by promptly sending souls to an afterlife."
There's a lot you don't know, kid. You make that clear every time you open your mouth..."Oh, you're making sure he goes to Hell." He shrugs, and I note that the damage to his face has mostly knitted itself back together. "I didn't think you did that sort of thing."
Amazing, he actually can think for himself!
Good plan.Assuming this works. I don't want Mother of Mercy coming near that… Device.
Heh, buddy-cop comedy spin-off hook. He's an Honourable Man with a power ring. He's a high-powered telekinetic with an attitude. Together, they fight Space Crime!"I will probably suggest to Lantern Xor that he remain on semi-independent anti-piracy duties. If you have made yourself useful, I would invite you to join him. Your heart appears to be in the right place, but your lack of basic training is going to impede your effectiveness."
Aw, Best Granny, you know him so well.
That's a lot of Fear, to show through the Avarice. Goes to show just how big a thing this is.Thirty metres in front of me space explodes in a surge of orange light as Hinon warps to my location, looking around in alarm. She raises her arms and the broken pieces of space station float away to give her a clear path to the device.
Okay, OL, there's playing dumb, and then there's this...
Remind me, she does know of his meta-knowledge? Is she realising the likelyhood that seeing it in a comic book is a lot less intense than living it?She wheels to scowl at me. "Do you not-?" She stops herself. "No, no, of course you don't."
Okay, that makes sense. He was underestimating the armour chunk's importance.. which is extremely high level."It's not the armour. None of him is supposed to exist any longer. I thought we were-." She takes a moment to calm herself. "We should destroy this fragment, before the Qwardians hear about it."

"That's right! He can be taught!"
Well, it might be worthwhile for Paul to bring up that he has run into Black Light, what would you call them, shamans I guess, on Earth. Might be slightly safer than one of the Maltusians getting it into their head to try to build a Black Ring as a stopgap measure.No, they need the help of a Black Lantern if they actually want to kill him since that's the only thing that ever has.
Not necessarily in Zoat's universe:
And I seem to remember a line that went something like "do you know how many of us died trying to stop it?!" but I'm not having any luck finding it.
I was expecting a bigger reaction, but honestly, kicking in the door through a few thousand light years and showing a non aligned emotion? That's bloody screaming for a Guardian or Controller.Thirty metres in front of me space explodes in a surge of orange light as Hinon warps to my location, looking around in alarm. She raises her arms and the broken pieces of space station float away to give her a clear path to the device.
She hesitantly lowers her hands. "No…"
"Hinon?"
"Do you know what this is?"
"No, I need other Malthusians. Go, go and.. check the other sites. I'll call you back to watch once we're ready."
I would assume so, if Hinon's quotes imply that all Malthusians remember fighting the Anti-Monitor. The question I have is if they are willing to drop everything and work together with no fuss, or of they'll use this as a excuse to politic.Is this enough of a problem to warrant cooperation between the Controllers, Guardians, and Zamarons?

In that one story Uchiha Sasuke and Power of Lies it was called I think, Sasuke thinks about how some people die so hard they never existed in the first place. Like people that betray Konoha since nobody ever betrays Konoha.Something to keep in mind-
If Anti-Monitor is alive, then a universe eating cosmic entity is a potential threat.
If the Anti-Monitor is dead, then Nekron can use him to make the Central Black Lantern Battery to start Blackest Night, so a zombie apocalypse out to snuff out the very concept of life from the universe is a potential threat.
So it's a pick your poison situation.

Did you mean "cells"?

Is this really worth commenting on? HTML is explicitly a whitespace-agnostic format, and QQ's stylesheet doesn't change that (unlike some sites), so that shouldn't cause any issues. Unless it causes problems for the epub conversions I don't see it being a good use of time to find these OR to fix these.Quadruple space here, in the reply box. Shows normal in the post.
Eh, I just call any wrong-looking spacing I see, same as spelling errors or off grammar. Since I'm going line-by-line, it's no hassle to mark them. Mr Zoat's free to fix them or not as he pleases.Is this really worth commenting on?

An Indigo Lantern channeling the Black Light of Death might also be able to accomplish it (we at least know that ILs can channel/emulate/whatever that light, because John managed it when he had an Indigo ring that time when the green rings were being possessed or something).No, they need the help of a Black Lantern if they actually want to kill him since that's the only thing that ever has.
Normally I'd say "not necessarily on Earth 16" but in this case the story FAQ actually explicitly says that indigo has some access to the other colors.An Indigo Lantern channeling the Black Light of Death might also be able to accomplish it (we at least know that ILs can channel/emulate/whatever that light, because John managed it when he had an Indigo ring that time when the green rings were being possessed or something).

Just glad others are catching things I miss. Seriously, how'd I miss those two you spotted...

No... I mean it required an actual Black Lantern imprisoning him inside the Black Central Power Battery.An Indigo Lantern channeling the Black Light of Death might also be able to accomplish it (we at least know that ILs can channel/emulate/whatever that light, because John managed it when he had an Indigo ring that time when the green rings were being possessed or something).
That's missing the point. OL did kill the guy Devlos Ungara I think the name was. Hinton was contacted for a consultation then freaked and came herself upon confirmation of Anti Monitor fuckery. The problem has been kicked upstairs like it should be.So confirmed then.
Once more OL runs into a threat that tanks everything he's got. Some other character is brought in who has just the (Far superior) ability for the job, with the added pip of the threat basically being forced to hurt himself.
Maybe Kid Flash IS some sort of future seer. He did state the belief that OL was the weakest person in the room.
No, the point was that OL hasn't been able to actually just WIN a fight (Unless it's against a fellow hero) for quite a long time now. The peak is when the Silver city bitch smacked him down like a small toddler, while the forces of Hell were actually able to do something.
I also made a crack about OL pounding on someone with everything he's got, only to end up calling some random character.
It was a jacked up Pidgeon of war, and by the end it was questionable whether the leadership above whoever Boss Smiley was impersonating even knew what was going on. Or cared for that matter.To be fair he was fighting effectively God 'capital G' and hell was getting ready up for a war with heaven anyway.
I barely understand why OL bothers with having a power ring any longer. Minus it's ease of use. I do take solace in his armor actually mattering.I'd look at it was Paul has entered the last game as a generalist so he's trying to solo late game bosses and needs to pick party members to hard-counter them.

OL has already poked the Greek and Norse Gods, and Gravyen took a Zeus bolt to the skull. I will not ascribe any more power or importance to the abrahamic deity then they get.
The fact remains that NOTHING OL did that entire arc mattered. Meanwhile, Harm, a guy he actually beat once, was flattening Silver City forces left and right.

I so loathe the "armor is useless" trope.
Magic has been shown to be the most powerful force in the universe, and even something as mundane as Telekinesis has consistently outperformed him. Being the thing that actually won the day in this very fight.
Lantern Chain [Jumpchain SI] This is a story, not a quest or some such.
While I wont disagree, I do consider "moving things with my mind with some...undefined force" to be far more mundane then Ring of Power, fueled by an universal emotional force.Eh...... TK with enough points put into it for FTL. That's a different beast.
