Chapter 1146 - Expansion Plans
🕑 Added 2025-05-28 11:21:27 +0000 UTCJake woke up with a killer headache, finding himself lying comfortably on a couch back at his palace residence. He took a moment to orient himself as a voice echoed from directly above him.
“You know, most people are able to pace themselves and not embarrassingly pass out,” Artemis said, her words sounding almost like a scolding, but her tone didn’t indicate she disapproved.
Opening his eyes, Jake stared directly up at Artemis, who looked down at him, which was also when he realized that the comfortable pillow he was lying on wasn’t a pillow at all.
Smiling, Jake looked at Artemis a bit teasingly. “I don’t know. I think it turned out quite well. At least I’m not complaining about the situation I currently find myself in.”
“Mighty cocky for someone who just knocked themselves out on accident,” Artemis chuckled.
“Hey, those small sprouts should be happy. They got quite the meal,” Jake commented casually. “Though I will admit, they consumed a lot more than I thought they would be able to. Did Nature’s Attendant starve the poor buggers or something?”
“No, you’re just too weak to provide them with proper nutrients,” Artemis said, not a hint of jest in her voice.
“Ow, that’s hurtful.”
“Sometimes, the truth hurts,” Artemis shrugged. “You should be happy. The fact that they could absorb that much energy means that the final result will be stronger, right? Nature’s Attendant isn’t holding anything back with this one, which means your input is essential. He can’t provide the energy himself, or his Records will inevitably turn the item into something only gods can use.”
“Sounds like I’ll have to knock myself out a few more times, eh?” Jake joked.
“Or, better yet, you could stop just before you pass out from exhaustion. That way I wouldn’t have to carry you home,” Artemis said with exasperation.
“And miss out on getting a lap pillow from a goddess? Never.”
“If it happens again, I’m gonna throw you off in the middle of the busiest market in the Pantheon of Life,” Artemis threatened. “And I’ll make sure that your only way back will be through asking strangers for directions.”
“You wouldn’t,” Jake said, a hint of actual fear in his voice.
“Oh, I would.”
“Evil truly knows no bounds,” Jake sighed. “Point taken. I should avoid passing out next time.”
“Good,” Artemis smiled triumphantly. “Now stop lazing around. You’ve already slept for five hours.”
“But I’m just-“
Artemis stood up with no regard for Jake lying on her legs, pushing him down toward the floor. Forced to react, Jake stopped his fall and pushed himself off the floor and into a standing position.
“See, not that hard,” Artemis smiled. “While I would love to laze around more, I sadly do have some obligations I need to attend to. Don’t miss me too much.”
“Hey, when my mind is in the alchemy mire, I miss or think about nothing else,” Jake shrugged.
“That’s only a good thing,” Artemis said. “Oh, and do say hi to the Warpsnatcher for me. It was hanging out in the living room when I returned and looked at me as if I’d killed you when it saw me carrying around your limp body.”
“Poor little guy,” Jake sighed as he checked using his sphere and saw the Warpsnatcher hide within one of its loot piles in the cellar. “I’ll go down and talk to him.”
“You do that. See you later,” Artemis said as she teleported away, presumably to do god stuff.
Jake did as he said he would and went down to the cellar right away to assure the Warpsnatcher that things were fine, and that Artemis hadn’t cruelly killed him and paraded his body around in some bizarre display of superiority. He wanted to say that Artemis wouldn’t do that kind of thing, but when he considered her earlier threat, she definitely did have the ability to display pure evil.
On the topic of deciding a name for the little guy... still a work in progress. Something very Jake-like, such as Snatchie or Warpie, was tempting, but he decided to take his time and think about a proper name that Miranda wouldn’t smack him over the head for. Hopefully, if the Warpsnatcher did successfully evolve to B-grade, the new race would give him a good idea.
After reassuring his little friend, Jake went straight back to his alchemy lab and continued working on making a rejuvenation potion. At least for a little while, but seeing as his resource pools were still rather barren, he soon switched to meditation and studying the tome left by the First Sage.
Like that, Jake got back into the grind as he worked on several projects at once. The only times he contacted the outside world were if he needed something, in which case Jake just had to send a message through his token, and a delivery would arrive shortly after. Everything ordered naturally was put on the tab of the Order of the Malefic Viper.
Days passed, and soon enough, Jake had his first success as he crafted a common rarity rejuvenation potion. However, Jake knew he could do better than that and kept pushing, and only a few days later, he finally got what he wanted.
You have successfully crafted [Rejuvenation Potion (Uncommon)] – A new kind of creation has been made. Bonus experience earned
As with other potions, the requirement for uncommon rarity was to consume at least a hundred thousand resources in total, and Jake barely passed that threshold as he bottled up the liquid and used Identity on the newly created potions.
[Rejuvenation Potion (Uncommon)] – Restores 34,432 health, stamina, and mana when consumed.
With the potion done, Jake didn’t need to think long about what to do with it. Jake chugged the entire thing down as he closed his eyes and focused on how the energy spread throughout his body to restore it. He observed how the liquid split off into different streams of energy as it was carried through his Soulshape before eventually being fully absorbed or dispersing.
Opening his eyes again, Jake took mental notes of how the energy had acted as he also felt the subtle effects of Palate doing its work. To better understand their restorative properties, Jake had already consumed an exorbitant quantity of herbs, but consuming a finished potion was also nice at times.
Seeing as he had an hour's cooldown time on the potion, Jake went back and worked on other matters for a while. When he felt like the time was right, Jake consumed another potion and felt its effects on his body as a plan slowly began to form. Not one necessarily made to upgrade Blood of the Malefic Viper, but it was part of it.
After another few days of alchemy, Artemis returned to the palace to fetch him, though Jake did notice something about this version of her. After a bit of probing, he learned she had just sent an avatar, as her true body was busy elsewhere. Jake tried to ask what she was up to, but the goddess remained mysterious as she brought Jake back to Nature’s Attendant’s garden.
This time around, Jake didn’t pass out. Nature’s Attendant was also there to facilitate the process just like last time, and after Jake returned home with at least a few resources in the tank, he went straight back to meditation as Artemis took her leave again.
During all this time passing, the Warpsnatcher had also finally finished fully setting up its own little territory, at which point Jake could confirm it did indeed function similarly to a formation. Simply being near all the loot, the Warpsnatcher would get experience, though it appeared that the little guy needed to occasionally update the hoard. Jake did ask the nearly peak C-grade if he needed to head out and procure some stuff elsewhere, but the Warpsnatcher assured Jake everything was fine.
It was only a day later that he realized that a lot of the shinier decorations of the palace had started to vanish, only to appear in the cellar hidden under piles of what to Jake were pure junk.
As Jake was working on all his own stuff, he couldn’t help but wonder how everyone else was doing. He knew that the Sword Saint and Sylphie were both up to their own stuff within the Pantheon of Life territory, and if anything surprising had happened with them, he would have heard, but there were also others to consider.
Such as what was going on back on his home planet.
--
Miranda was fairly sure she would evolve to B-grade before Jake did. Not because Jake was particularly slow at leveling or anything, but because of the absolute shitload of work she had been saddled with to manage all of his affairs.
Ever since the universe had opened up to the rest of the multiverse, Earth had a constant stream of people coming through. Some wanted to visit, others wanted to settle down there, and a scarce few even tried to see how they could gain influence over the planet.
Plenty of religious organizations also tried to make their play, which was where Miranda surprised many of them. As per discussions with Jake and many others, these organizations weren’t outright rejected but instead could apply to get their own small territory on the planet.
These territories were no larger than small villages, and they were still fully under the authority of the World Council. However, this gesture of allowing these factions to establish themselves went a long way toward gaining allies.
It also communicated to the multiverse that Earth was a mostly neutral territory. One that, as long as the laws were obeyed, anyone was free to visit. Of course, not everyone was allowed to visit, as Miranda had already predicted the shitshow they would be in for down the line with open borders. There was a relatively strict border control, but as the number of visitors remained limited for now, they didn’t have too much to do.
This policy also helped battle rumors that the Order of the Malefic Viper had sought to push out all other major factions from the galaxy. Or, at the very least, that any of the factions that were allowed had to make themselves subordinate to the Order. If only a few factions were around, this rumor would have some ground to stand on, but when it was only the Holy Church that was banned, it was clear to all who the problem was.
Sure, no one dared speak that the Holy Church had gotten thrown out deservedly, but based on what Miranda had gathered, a lot of people sure as hell were thinking it.
Miranda remained very careful to make the distinction between Earth and the Order, making it clear they remained two separate entities. Sure, the Order did fully back Earth, but they weren’t officially the rulers. Due to the Malefic Viper’s prior declarations that his Chosen was his own person who could make decisions without his Patron’s input, this claim was acknowledged.
Admittedly, Miranda was fairly certain the majority of influential factions just viewed this as the Viper allowing his Chosen to play around and have his own galaxy to rule autonomously, but as long as they didn’t cause trouble, Miranda didn’t care what flawed conclusions they reached. In due time, they would realize the truth.
Sitting in her office, Miranda was going over the most recent crime reports – a positive one as people were finally beginning to realize Earth was serious about its laws and applied them equally to everyone – but just then, she had a knock on the door.
Looking up from the report, she spoke. “Come on in.”
She had not been expecting any visitors, and Lillian was currently away supervising the establishment of another megacity outside of the territory humanity originally occupied. As a reminder, all the humans on Earth had been confined to just a small section after the Tutorial, but now, plans to reclaim the entire planet had already been set in motion.
“Excuse the intrusion,” a woman said as she opened the door.
Miranda was surprised when she saw who it was and instantly frowned. “Has anything happened with Arnold?”
The visitor was the personal assistant of Arnold, someone who usually didn’t even leave the huge metal dome. Wanting to know as much about one of the most powerful people on Earth as possible, Miranda had looked into Arnold as much as she could, and it hadn’t been difficult to learn about who he was before the system arrived.
Arnold had always been a genius. A genius, but also different, to the level where he had a hard time relating to normal humans. Despite his lack of interpersonal skills, Arnold’s genius had been enough to provide him with a lot of power and funds, some of which he had used to hire the woman who now stood in Miranda’s office. Her name was Nanna, and outside of her job working for Arnold, she didn’t appear that extraordinary.
She had originally been hired as his personal assistant, but had quickly become the manager of Arnold’s life outside of his work, showing that she was indeed competent. It was a role she had also adopted after the system arrived, and her Path was now essentially one with Arnold’s. In many ways, she was the reason why Arnold still had resources to continue working on all his products, even if Arnold had become better at handling matters by himself.
However, that didn’t answer why she was in Miranda’s office in the first place.
“No, he’s fine, but preoccupied with his current project,” Nanna answered. “Hence why I took the initiative to visit you by myself about a challenge we are currently facing.”
“What seems to be the problem?” Miranda asked curiously.
“In a single word... space. The underground factory continues to expand, but we will soon reach a limit where it’s no longer workable to continue expanding,” she explained. “At least not without risking causing issues for the city above. If we move closer to Haven, we also risk ruining the ecosystem and causing the forest problems.”
Miranda frowned, though she wasn’t surprised. Arnold had originally set up shop in the old Fort close to Haven and had stayed there ever since. He already owned a large area above ground with his metal dome, with the majority of Arnold’s factory and workshop beneath the ground. Constructing down there was bound to bring challenges, especially with the level of energy Arnold was working with. Also, Arnold was already a bit miffed that he had to do his weapon testing so far away from his metal dome, as Miranda banned him from testing high-powered explosives right beneath the city.
“I take it you’ve come here because you have some idea how to address this challenge?” Miranda asked. She had already offered for Arnold to get his own large territory far away from any other settlements, but he hadn’t seemed interested.
“I managed to get a sit-down with my boss, and after a lot of discussion and calculations on his part, we concluded that there is currently no place on Earth suitable when taking considerations for the future into account,” Nanna explained, making Miranda frown.
“Do you plan on leaving Earth, then?” she asked, considering the matter a bit. “There are a few unoccupied planets in our galaxy that could be used...”
“No, the boss wants to stay near enough to Earth to make visiting and short-range teleportation convenient. Oh, and the Records from just being near or on the planet are too good to miss out on.”
“What exactly are you proposing?” Miranda asked, quite unsure what Arnold’s assistant was getting at.
“Well... taking everything into account... we’ve been wondering if perhaps the moon is for sale?”

Thanks for the chapter the ending made me chuckle very unexpected

Thanks for the chapter

Reeeee! Tyftc

I'll call you Speak, because that's what you do.

So the personification of Factorio is going to be acquiring the moon? Tough luck for the B-Grade living there.
DrDankness
Kek. Time to unhaunt the moon
Carl Never
Is the moon for sale lol ok china
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.
Zogarth
Fix stuff

Ahahahaha
Seen Death
It just makes the most sense haha
Seen Death
That would actually be sick Jake plans with arnold that hes going to kill that b grade inside the moon, most likely shattering it to pieces But workig with arnold, plans to keep the fragments from going to far get adopted. In the end the moon would be pieces of the moon held together by metal Appearance wize having arnold basically hollow it out to have his stuff "underground" mostly would be cool but idk how practical it would be Maybe better? I doubt arnold needs oxygen anymore but... theres a lot of possibilities, even terraforming
jobe matula

ABTelford
Love the chapter!
Chris Godsey
Getting some doctor evil vibes. Lol
Gabe Stankiewicz
Oh man waking up while resting on Artemis’s thighs? God damn Jake. SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEEEEEEE
Psyck0
Jake's gonna blow up the moon and just have Arnold pull a moonfall
Jeryd Greer
Arnold is gonna go chair face on us.
Tom
I think Jake would mind, but only enough to make some passive-aggressive comments about it.
Hayley
Would still lose in a fight tho
Taylor
She's stuck with nature's attendant working on the bow
Andrew K
Given the time scale gods usually work on and how much they use avatars for, definitely seems interesting that Artemis has "obligations" requiring her real body right now. Would be amusing if it turns out its because of something like feeling obligated to give Villy a gift (e.g. as a sort of return gift for what she got, or due to general multiverse etiquette for getting involved with another god's chosen) and she's attempting to personally gather an assortment of rare/unusual mushrooms to show sincerity.
Hotep Saxis
Arnold needs to kill a B grade also to keep up with the rest of his generation. Since he's still on earth the moon is perfect. Jake won't mind. I'm sure Carmen is working on a B grade somewhere in Valhal territory too.
Tony Breckenridge
audio book 12 June 11th!
Andrew K
It's not out of the question, but I think a response like she got is more likely what she wanted. Keep some of the important factors we know in mind (they're trying to take things slowly, Jake's independent outlook seems to be a big factor in her interest, and gods in this setting generally operate on very long time scales), if his first response was about missing her, it could be viewed as concerningly clingy in a way that could lead to problems later.
WaxDinosaur
Yeah he’s mentioned blowing up the moon a couple times. Even had the forethought to ask (someone? Arnold maybe, or Villy) if suddenly not having a moon would cause any issues for Earth
WaxDinosaur
No no, that’s how you drive a price down. Arnold is mega rich, gotta milk him for it. yeah the moon is for sale, and it even has its very own power leveling grounds to help Arnold reach b grade even faster. Who knows what kind of rare materials he might find up there!
WaxDinosaur
Yeah it killed Sandy I think? He (they?) got better from that pesky status condition pretty quickly though
Phil Ritter
While you are at it include our little Warpsnatcher. I can just imagine him hiding in his pile of stuff from a god who clearly knows he’s there. That’s just too precious and adorable
Phil Ritter
Okay that would be kinda sick and considering there is no real distance limitation maybe it’s even possible. The only problem I see is the distance and time. No matter if it crosses the universes or the void there is a good chance something will be in between considering it has to travel 93 universes. Also just how long would it travel and if all that works out the moon will be gone. Now that I think about it. That monster fused with the core so killing it should ruin the moon too since the core is gone.
Nick Elliott
Wait... Jake can't leave PoL to kill a moon ghost. But he owes the moon ghost one for killing Sandy. Could we.... no surely we couldnt. New bow + mythical new event horiaon skill + damage scales with disparity and distance..... Could Jake be about to get a call from Miranda to ask if she can sell Arnold the moon only for Jake to test all those three from where he is and kill the moon ghost from pantheon of life....

Okay can we talk about how fuckin cute Artemis and Jake are? There's no right that two apex hunters should be so fuckin adorable together. Lil murder hobos
Blutako
Honestly true
HoresKnight
We will steal THE MOON!
William WIlson
I can see Miranda saying if he can get rid of the b grade there he can have it then Arnold getting rid of the b grade for Jake to show up and be kinda annoyed by Arnold killing it.
Xander
TFTC :) I'm glad Arnolds assistant finally got a name cuz i found myself wondering what it was as I was reading. I was sort of expecting Vesperia to set up a defensive wasp colony on the moon but arnolds moon base sounds awesome :) Suggested edits: "Restores 34.432 health" it varies with country i know, but in English its usually a comma not a fullstop in large numbers. "went a long way *to get* allies." i feel "towards getting" or perhaps "towards gaining" is better here.
ben anthony
Why is no one commenting on wtf Nanna is? The last time a “Nanna” was inserted this late into the narrative it ruined both Steve Carell, and Ryan Gosling‘s lives!
Shadowessence
Mad Scientist wanting a moon base..... I swear if he makes little yellow robots.....
Ty Cooper
It would have to be a Transcendent to copy a bloodline or Transcendent perfectly
Blutako
Jake will probably insist on fighting that b grade, didn't he set it as one of his goals, as long as its willing to fight back and feels like a strong enough opponent its not in his path to give up prey
Borakthrash
We are so far from this but in an eventual future I could see Arnold achieving godhood by replicating a transcendence skill or bloodline completely or in part through his understanding. A cool thing would be him replicating the perception boosting aspect of Jake’s bloodline.
Xien
The haunted moon? Howwwww does one go about selling the moon?!!! 9/10s possession is essentially ownership I guess
Blutako
Well Jake is probably going to try to take the opportunity to fight another B grade as well as help Arnold out because Arnold has helped him a ton
Stevean Bozek
Arnold should get a discount since that property is currently haunted as fuck
SmokeJam
Na, pretty sure he is plenty capable of doing it himself and aquire ownership that way
SmokeJam
Well the leasing amount will be getting rid of one b-grade ghost
Austin Barton
Jake is going to have to test his new mythical skill on one moon monster.
Sarianne
🤣
Hornbach
But he is not a Red Panda. I Like tho
That one, right there.
Wasn’t he building some sort of moon-destroying-inator.
Hayley
Warpsnatcher needs to be named Shifu 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Lawrence Dillon
So arnold wants to steal the moon? Despicable
Tom C
Not for long once Arnold gets up there! He isn’t one to mess about 😂
Tom C
Or hiding

TIME TO HUNT A MOON GHOST! If Arnold doesn't turn the moon into a pseudo-deathstar, I might be a liiiiittle disappointed
EmmericH.
What's up with mad scientists and their evil moon base really ? 😂
wyattmon
I really hope Miranda actually does evolve before Jake, mainly because she deserves it, but also because it'd be so fucking funny
SqrlyGrly
Fk will have some catching up to do
Stephen
Jake gonna finally have to clear the moon of the monster.
SqrlyGrly
I'm sure Arnold can figure out how to carve it.
dan dyfe
I wonder If arnold will use his favor make jake come back to earth too deal with the moon monster?
TwoMoreYears
Hmmmm. Is the moon a problem that Jake won’t have to fix himself? Interesting turn for sure.
Kaladin
Thought he was going to make a second moon, a deathstar instead. Guess we will see who handles the haunted problem.
kingofshibainu
So perhaps Arnold will take out that thing as his first b grade? Interesting!
Ty Cooper
One of the saddest things about Arnold having a moon base is that it won't be in the shape of his head. Sad times
Ty Cooper
You know the desire for a Moon base has been in Arnold's head his whole life.
nathan
Question really is does he have sharks with laser beams on their heads
J W
An evil genius moon base? Kinda cliché
Nano
Jake and the sword saint have been killing B grades for a few chapters now I’m calling a nevermore party reunion coming soon
Phasmatic7
Thankies for the chappie zogie
Elijah Belfer
Took long enough. Time for Jake to finally get revenge for Sandy
DirePants
I assumed it would be the moon as Nanna mentioned they were running out of space lol geez football head is definitely going to turn it into a giant lab that doubles a a planetary defense system
Owen Kaz
Yeh, Moon's haunted
Julian
I dunno, I think it might become a moondoggle.

Let Jake kill the abomination living there and then yes! Arnold will build the moon into a base!
Timothy Spradlin
Tftc, once they mentioned space issue, the moon was the obvious choice
RnR_ RnR
Maybe the feeling of aura?
RnR_ RnR
Arnold's gonna do it and be super bored with it.
Beef Wrench
I wonder if Jake or Arnold will kill the b grade on the moon 🤔
Mat
How is Jake able to distinguish avatars of gods from the real body? I mean when Villy first appeared as an avatar, he was not able to tell, so what changed?
Matt
Maybe not from where he's at in a completely different universe, but maybe from earth?
Corac
Wyatt Warp huh....I like
Victor Desantiago
There has to be some crazy records for Miranda for selling the moon.
Zach Newman
"You want the moon? I'll get you the moon, just throw a little lasso around it" come on my old peeps Ikyktikyk
skyler boyd
Moons haunted
Fyrtue
I like the thought of Jake trying out Event Horizon to take down the Ghostvine from where he's at now before Arnold can steal his prey.
Sushi
I’m curious about the first mana potion Jake made and kept for nostalgic purposes. Does he still have it? And if so, is it slowly soaking up his records to become some super potion like his boots did?
Fyrtue
IIRC Jake dropped that nugget of wisdom after the meeting had finished and Arnold was only there virtually. Maybe he didn't get the update or maybe he did and is just willing to deal with the Ghostvine anyways.
Thomas Faurbye Nielsen
"When he felt like the time was wrong, " I think the time should feel right, but thanks for the chapter! :D
Eric Shivak
TFTC... One correction. Seeing as he had an hour's cooldown time on the potion, Jake went back and worked on other matters for a while. When he felt like the time was (wrong) right, Jake consumed another potion and felt its effects on his body as a plan slowly began to form
InSomniaut
More like “yes there is a moon for sale. One minor problem though, it’s haunted. One major problem is that if you kill it without Jake’s ok he will get pisssed at you for stealing his kill
Rahsheem Reid
This should be a good test for the remaining folks on earth if Jake doesn’t just do it him self.
Leviathan
Arnold gonna ghost busters the moon
InSomniaut
I feel like Jake has laid claim to the monster and Miranda/Arnold will respect that
InSomniaut
I can see it now 😂
Tom C
Who is the moon guy again? Is it Mossy? TFTC!
Tom C
Oooooh I like Felix
Anthena Sales
You should name the Warpsnatcher, Wyatt.
ByLordMatsLuck
Would also be cool to see Arnold do some fighting
Fyrtue
He did. Zoe ended an earlier chapter around that time leaving Miranda on a cliffhanger by telling her that Sandy's died before explaining it in the next.
Bailey Lowe
Warpsnatchers name could be blinx after blinx the time cat
Randy Plaisance
Poor little guy,” Jake sighed as he checked using his sphere and saw the Warpsnatcher hide within one of its loot piles in the cellar. “I’ll go down and talk to him.” *should it not be HIDDEN within?*

Thank u for the story

No sylphie, you cant just "blow away" the moon
Littleme02
the requirement for uncommon rarity was to consume - restore
Cees Tollenaar
Time for Jake to finally adressen the Moon's inhabitant huh? Should be fun for his first testrun with his new bow and also killing his first proper B-rank before evolving! Talk about killing 2 birds with 1 stone!
Dallin S
Moons haunted
Alejandro Piña
Ooooohhhh that would be an interesting matchup for Arnold.
Tommy
Arnold probably has been monitoring the moon and knows about the entity. Casually beats it from the comfort of his lab with drones lol
Daniel Brian
*pauses for effect* THE MOOOOOON! 🌛
mpop
I can’t remember, but did Jake actually let anyone know that the moon’s haunted? Or did that slip his mind?
SinCinnamon
Jake wants to provide the weed killer. A combo kill!
Avi Singh
I cannot wait to see Arnold and Jake go whoop some Ghostvine butt! Although, if it’s only Arnold that’ll try taking it down that might be quite interesting in itself.
Ty Cooper
Awesome, MOON rematch incoming! Tftc! Plus Arnold having a moon base just makes since.
John Looney
So arnold is going to turn the moon into the Death Star isn’t he
Rodney
I'm looking forward to a jealous Jake when he sees the new moon compound for Arnold because I've been waiting for a planetary lab for Jake since he's going to be dealing with energies and poisons that could destroy the planet soon lol
John Looney
Probably hire Jake to clear the b-grade as it’s already on his to-do list depending on how impatient he is
Arieh Sochaczevski
Thanks for the chapter! … no blowing up the moon??? Sad….
Shaibene
You Got there first buddy
Corvid
Arnold vs. Ghost Moon. Arnold holds a finger up, writes a few notes, then squints and presses the button. Image on a tablet shows a salvo of missiles filled with custom weed killer hitting the planet followed by an automaton placing a mailbox.
Vega
He’s certainly giving off those op evil scientist vibes with the moon takeover
Ryan Ulrich
Arnold is going to build a Death Star!! Or if any of you have seen the War World from the show Young Justice!

Wonder what Artemis is up to to only send avatars and immediately take her leave each time...

Ha! Arnold and a moon base . This no surprise to any reader here. What we need to wonder is if Jake going to get involved in killing the moon monster.

Was geht sie dass an
Suggest eddit: When he felt like the time was wrong, Jake consumed another potion -> the time was right. Tytc 🫡
Phoenixdrop
Oh Arnold is willing to handle the haunted moon problem
Was geht sie dass an
Finally the moon problem is going to be solved and hopefully this carzy scientist will do it himself so we can see how op he is.
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth, moon going to get ghost busted
Tyler S.
I think hes gonna wanna take it himself after it hurt Sandy
Tyler S.
I bet he'd be upset with that, taking the controlling B grade will be a good challenge. Plus hes already called killing it after it hurt Sandy
Indevan Jones
DEATH Moon!! Arnold's gonna have to rebuild a moon after Jake destroys the haunted plant thingy.
Tyler S.
Its already been claimed by the Hunter after it hurt his travel wurm
CT
Arnold vs The Moon. Not a long battle chapter after chapter but few lines as Arnold already made all calculations needed, has been working on it since Jake said "moon is haunted" and just executed his plan :). Would be very on brand
Quinn
I’m actually so hyped if Arnold solo wipes the moon.

So nö blowing up the moon eh? xD

When he felt like the time was (right)wrong, Jake consumed another potion and felt its effects on his body as a plan slowly began to form.

Its going to be hilarious when Jake gets to B-grade and comes back to fight the moon entity only to realize that Arnold beat him to it and took the place over.
Kyle Stitt

Love the relationship between Jake and Artemis.

I feel like Artemis wanted Jace to say he would miss her a little. Does that make sense to any of you?

Wasn't Arnold told it was a B grade when Jake asked if there would be consequences for blowing up the moon

Edit suggestions "When he felt like the time was wrong," should be switched to When he felt like the time was right.

tftc ! Wasn't the moon in the list of potentially being destroy by Jake?
Kirivina
The moon is haunted. 🤣 🤣 🤣

So Arnold might take care of that creature in the moon for Jake, I wonder if Jake would be down for that or if he still slthinks if it as potential prey
Jordan Rogers
Yay, Death Star imminent!
Alexander C Hyde
As with other potions, the requirement for uncommon rarity was to (provide)consume at least a hundred thousand resources in total, and Jake barely passed that threshold as he bottled up the liquid and used Identity on the newly created potions.

Arnold best not be thinking about kill stealing Jake's moon b grade lol

Yes, it's for sale, it's just hella haunted
GeneralBlack
Who wants to bet Arnold will turn the moon into a death star.
Jabirttok
Arnold is gonna have to wait for Jake to take out that b grade. I too would pass out for an Artemis lap pillow.
Jon Hanson
The moon bahaha. Isn't there like some big nasty B grade living there too?
Unwillingmainer
Yes there is a moon for sale, one minor problem though. It's haunted by plant monsters. Take care of that and it's your's!
