Chapter 1070 - Across the 93rd Universe
🕑 Added 2025-02-07 12:17:22 +0000 UTCAs things in the Milky Way Galaxy calmed down, the exact opposite was happening around it.
All across the ninety-third universe, the Prima Guardian event was only now starting to really pick up in pace. As the thousand-day deadline till all the Prima Guardians would be released grew closer, the more pressure the local leaders and fighters were under. They needed to kill as many Primas as possible to ensure the Guardians weren’t too powerful when released, and even then, there was a lot of uncertainty if they could even kill the boss.
A few galaxies got lucky and had certain planets where powerful elites emerged capable of slaying the Prima Guardian by manually having the World Leader release it prematurely. These elites could then help out other planets that had chosen to take part in the Prima Guardian Alliance. Often, this help came for a price, though.
These planets with actual power began to suppress and expand across their galaxies to gain more power, using the system event as nothing more than a vehicle to spread their influence. Often, several such forces appeared in the same galaxy, and with the event only lasting a measly thousand days, it was far from enough for one definitive leader to emerge in the majority of galaxies.
Of course, there were massive standouts. The Milky Way Galaxy barely needed to be mentioned, as everyone knew it was at the top of the list for anomalies. They were the first galaxy to slay every Prima Guardian, and by a fair margin, too. Again, not a surprise to anyone.
It had been the galaxy with the two top individuals on the Nevermore Leaderboards, after all. If they weren’t the first to clear the event, who else could be? The Milky Way was far from being the only galaxy to kill all the Prima Guardians before the event would naturally conclude, though. They were just the first ones to do so.
The second galaxy to kill every Prima Guardian was one of the smallest galaxies in the universe. It had only a couple of hundred planets with enlightened on it, and due to the appearance of a single warrior who killed every single Prima Guardian by himself, the entire galaxy was blessed with taking second place. What’s more, this warrior did it expecting nothing. He had an absolutely stellar reputation, which was also why everyone was willing to put their trust in him. The man was not even a World Leader himself or a contender for anything related to the system event.
No, he was merely a humble wanderer. At least that’s what he called himself, though many would recognize him as the Eastbound Monk, number seven on the Nevermore 93rd Universe Leaderboard.
Third place in the universe was taken not due to any individual but the combined efforts of a galaxy steeped in death energy that the Risen had quickly taken control of. The rest of the top ten spots for galaxies were also claimed by the major factions of the multiverse, and while they all had standout geniuses, the primary reasons for their victories were their unity and the absence of internal conflicts.
Nearly all of the top Nevermore contenders native to the ninety-third universe also had their galaxies rank in the top one hundred to clear the system event. Of course, there were some absent, and some who wouldn’t even appear on the list at all.
Facing the Prima Guardian was an event for the enlightened races of a galaxy, but that left out a lot of people. In fact, the majority weren’t even part of the enlightened races, so what happened to them?
Well, the monsters had their own event. This isn’t to say that monsters couldn’t also benefit from the event of the enlightened races if they were on a planet with enlightened natives, but what would happen if they were from planets with no enlightened presence at all?
That’s where they had their entirely separate event and competed against one another. Their objectives were a lot simpler than fighting a Prima Guardian or anything like that. They were simply given the task of being the first to claim the World Core.
This would, of course, be a bit too easy, so the system threw some challenges their way in the form of powerful monsters created to defend the core. Many of the subterranean monsters even got quests and objectives to defend the core, the system actively spurring competition and confrontation between the powerful wildlife of all these planets, intending to have one monster stand at the pinnacle.
In this event, known figures such as Wintermaul and Lopas both utterly dominated, the two of them having already fully conquered their planet in the first place. What’s more, once they had already claimed their own World Cores, the system allowed them to continue competing to increase their rewards by challenging other monsters in the galaxy that had also claimed their World Core, to not only find the pinnacle of each planet, but the pinnacle of the entire galaxy.
These events for monsters took place side-by-side in all the galaxies with enlightened races also in them, but also in many of the galaxies where no enlightened resided at all. There were unknown requirements for what made planets eligible, but in general, a certain size and solid diversity of monsters seemed to be required. The event naturally also only included those in C-grade and not the more powerful galaxies where it would be hard to find any creatures below B-grade.
This competition between monsters naturally also took place in the Milky Way Galaxy. Nobody really knew this, but even if they did, the competition between monsters was mostly inconsequential for them. In fact, the monsters of the Milky Way probably had to be happy that Jake wasn’t aware of their little event... because if he had been, he would have just viewed their leaderboards as a to-hunt list.
Luckily for them, there didn’t appear to be any plans from the system to force further confrontations as the months quickly passed. Soon, hundreds of galaxies completed the event every day, an incredibly slow pace considering the sheer size of the universe.
It was understandable once one factored in that the only way for a galaxy to fully clear the event was for every Prima Guardian to be dead. This meant just a single planet that hadn’t been part of the alliance could block the galaxy’s completion, assuming the others there didn’t construct a teleporter like the one Arnold had made.
Many planets also fell to the Prima Guardians or even just regular Primas during this time. This was only to be expected, and the majority of these weaker planets ended up seeking refuge under the banners of those more powerful, making the event have a pretty respectable clearance rate. Even if only a few percent of planets fell, that would still be billions of worlds lost.
Not that anyone focused on the losers.
As the end of the system event grew closer and closer, the many World Leaders who would soon find themselves being referred to as Galactic Leaders – or at least contenders for that title - began to consider what would come next.
To these leaders or future leaders of their galaxies, they were expected to receive some level of influence over their local Seat of the Exalted Prima. However, they also all knew this was only a prelude. The many Seats of the Exalted Prima that could be found in all the galaxies taking part in the event weren’t all World Wonders. They were all merely parts of one... and a ticket to compete for the real thing.
To claim a World Wonder was something no faction would give up on. A World Wonder was like an irreplaceable treasure, and while some of them weren’t that useful compared to others, all still held immense value simply on account of their uniqueness and rarity. From the looks of it, if the Trial of Myriad Paths was any indication, this World Wonder would likely hold immense value. If one could be sure of one thing, it was that if something in the multiverse held value, it would be fought for.
It wasn’t even that all the soon-to-be Galactic Leaders necessarily wanted to claim this World Wonder for themselves despite being named Administrators of their local Seats. They knew only the true peak factions had the power to control one, but if they should gain ownership, couldn’t they simply sell it or get offered some high position?
Considering all the qualifiers to be an Administrator of the Seat of the Exalted Prima, it shouldn’t be the kind of title that could be stolen simply by killing someone. That meant all the Administrators were valuable assets now, as they were the only ones who even had a chance to fight for the true World Wonder.
Of course, before the true battle for the World Wonder could begin, not only did the current system event have to end, but the Administrators also had to reach B-grade for their Administrator’s Seals to work, allowing them to teleport to their local Seats.
It was bound to be a tough competition when the time came... but there was no doubt that one galaxy was already ahead of the rest. With the Milky Way Seat of the Exalted Prima being the top-ranked Seat within the entire universe, no one could ignore it. Especially not when one considered who its primary Administrator was.
No one looked forward to competing with the Chosen of the Malefic Viper. He was the peak of the all-time Nevermore Leaderboards, after all. When news of Ell’Hakan’s and Yip of Yore’s deaths spread when the galaxies established contact with the rest of the multiverse, their hopes of victory only fell further. It didn’t help when many also learned that not only had Ell’Hakan been slain, but his entire world had met its end at the hands of the Malefic One’s Chosen.
With Yip’s death, the Malefic Viper had also shown he was truly worthy of his Primordial title. Perhaps more frightening was that the Viper wasn’t only known for his power but also his guile. In retrospect, many realized that the Viper had set Yip up from the beginning and manipulated the entire multiverse, only to reveal his true power when the time was right.
They could only begin to imagine what kind of elaborate schemes and plots they would encounter when battling his Chosen. After all, wasn’t it only natural to expect that the Chosen of one of the greatest schemers of the multiverse would also be a mastermind of machinations himself?
--
“Did you at least learn anything?” Hank asked as he directed the earth mage to properly stuff the hole and make it look like it had never been there.
“That I shouldn’t play with explosives when living in a glass bubble,” Jake said, a bit embarrassed.
“I really hope you didn’t just learn that today,” Hank said in a deadpan tone as Haven’s chief of construction probably wondered why he even had to be called for this kind of repair job.
“Well, I certainly learned what NOT to do today,” Jake said a bit sheepishly as he waited for his underground alchemy lab to be fixed. While it was a bit embarrassing, sometimes sacrifices had to be made in the name of science.
Jake had made a lot of progress over the last many months, which had led to this situation. Skipping back a bit, after he finished dealing with the Holy Church, Jake had pretty much retreated to his alchemy lab, only coming out occasionally whenever he had visitors or had to deal with anything that couldn’t wait. He did have to attend quite a few things with Miranda as she and all the politically savvy folk were hard at work, but truthfully, he tried to hide away in his underground lab as much as possible.
The vast majority of his time was spent either doing alchemy or meditating and reading the meditation tome left by the First Sage. As planned, Jake had begun to research branches of alchemy he’d never really explored before, and after some consideration, he’d landed on making poison mist – or, as it was better known, poison gas.
While he had his Wings of the Malefic Viper skill that was capable of burning his blood and turning that into mist, the effect really wasn’t that impressive anymore, primarily because Jake had never worked on upgrading that aspect of the skill. One of the reasons he hadn’t been able to upgrade it was probably also due to his lack of understanding when it came to poison mist, so learning more about it was definitely a good idea.
Anyway, Jake had made good progress. At first, he considered using the classical method of creating poison powder that could then be burned to release poison gas, but he quickly abandoned that and simplified the process.
Not to say that making poison gas was simple. It wasn’t just to boil a liquid poison, as all that would create was fumes, and while these fumes were toxic for sure, they weren’t really anything that could be used to deal any damage to anyone. They were just a byproduct.
No, Jake needed to create liquid poison designed to be turned into gas. It took a while and some studying, during which he sadly had to read things not authored by the First Sage, but in the end, he managed to create a pretty decent death-affinity poison gas.
Well, it wasn’t super usable yet. Still, Jake was happy with what he had, considering he hadn’t been working on creating poison gasses for long. Plus, he was only doing alchemy part-time with the majority of his day spent studying the art of meditation.
Anyhow, his latest creation had been the start of his current construction woes.
[Rotbreath Poison Gas (Uncommon)] – With every breath, life shall wane. Mixing potent death affinity toxins, a powerful poison gas has been concocted. This poison is primarily inflicted through breathing but can penetrate the bodies of any living beings in contact with it for too long. If inflicted, it will spread through the body and cause necrotic damage to any tissue it inflicts, causing flesh to rot. Wounds caused by necrotic poison are extremely difficult to heal.
This poison gas was good enough for Jake to consider something else important: his delivery method. Right now, Jake created the gas and purposefully compressed and contained it in regular poison flasks. At least he tried to. Jake learned that if compressed enough, the poison would turn back into a liquid, which Jake didn’t want, as even when it expanded again, it would take a bit to turn into poison gas.
Also, it kept breaking the flasks as they weren’t meant to house highly compressed gasses. Jake considered commissioning ones capable of handling the pressure until he realized that the flasks breaking wasn’t a problem; it was a feature. All he had to do was apply a bit of his personal touch:
Stable arcane mana.
That ended up working out great, and while it did mean the poison gas flasks had a limited lifespan as his stable arcane mana would slowly degrade with time, he figured it should be fine. For the record, Jake still had to put the poison gas in bottles. If he didn’t, the system wouldn’t recognize them as items, which would make him lose out on a bunch of bonuses.
So, the way he used his arcane mana was to fully coat the bottles on the outside. He would then pour in the gas and cover the top of the bottle. Despite the pressure being strong enough to make the bottle explode, Jake’s stable arcane mana would keep it together.
This finally leads to how Jake ended up blowing a hole through the glass bubble in his underground lab, the explosion big enough to blow a hole all the way to the surface. The problem with his exploding poison gas bottles wasn’t that they exploded, but that they didn’t explode enough.
Jake wanted to spread the poison gas faster, so he had the brilliant idea to create poison gas bombs. To make every bomb as effective as possible, Jake tried to pack as much poison gas as possible into every bottle. To ensure nothing dispersed, he tended to funnel the gas into the flasks while still in his cauldron.
Everything was looking so good until Jake had one more brilliant idea. Usually, the way he made his flasks explode was to make the stable arcane mana disperse, thus making the pressure shatter the bottle, but what if Jake instead turned the stable arcane energy into pure destruction and exploded it?
Even better, what if he mixed in a bit of destructive arcane mana with the poison gas itself to make it not lose any potency when mixing with the arcane mana during the explosion?
Well... it had kind of worked?
Granted, it had also resulted in a massive beam of pure destructive arcane energy shooting up from the lid of the cauldron, giving everyone in Haven something to look at when they saw the tall, thin beam of pinkish purple pierce the sky for a few seconds. Jake had even been so smart as to do it in the middle of the night to make more people see. He didn’t really fault himself for that one, though, as who the hell even kept track of day and night anymore?
“Do try to be more mindful,” Hank said in a slightly scolding tone, the construction manager being one of the few “normal” people in Haven who still spoke to Jake like a normal person. “This time, you got lucky, but what if the angle had been bad? You could have hit the city, and I hope I don’t need to tell you why that could have been bad.”
“Yeah, I know,” Jake sighed. “I think I’ll need to look into having some more defensive formations placed around the lab. Maybe we can even discuss strengthening the construction a bit?”
“Or, even better, you can stop doing reckless alchemy experiments,” Hank said as he looked at the Chosen of the Malefic Viper.
Jake didn’t even answer, and after a few seconds, Hank just sighed.
“I’ll have some people look at ways to reinforce and strengthen the lab’s walls... maybe put in some shielding here and there.”

I'm glad that Hank proved he was still actually among the intelligent population, after all, expecting Jake to change and not take loads of risks is definitely futile. 😄😆😂🤣🤣🤣🤯

I imagine those are the kind of commissions that will see hank power leveling. So quit your griping old man!

I don’t give a fuck that a chapter isn’t uploaded. Just, is Zogarth ok? I hope you’re alright mate

Remember a chapter is never late or early. It is exactly on time whenever he posts it.

Is Zog ok ? I really hope he is not patient zero for the new flu.
Pheo
Y'all got anymore of that good stuff?

Didn't see an update on discord. Not too concerned if the chapter is just late or Zog is sick and skips a day. It happens. Just a heads up would be nice so we don't start wondering if Zog is patient zero for bird flu.

That's a really good point about the eastbound monk.

Karroch did not live through integration as he was not born the 89 universe.
Xander
classical chemistry techniques are notoriously unreliable in alchemy since classical techniques rely on repeatability and consistency and no two alchemical ingredients are the same so you have to do things by feel. Reika was told this after her entrance test for the order.
Bob Fight
Karroch that’s the beast tamer god that blessed the whale on the world council was born in the 89th era or something like that and I am pretty sure his side story says he had a kingdom at s grade so it’s possible but you probably have to be strong enough to rule your planet and then you have to be vary lucky to not have anything the big factions want if you do your probably just absorbed his side story is number 9 titled Karroch perpetual confusion
Jordan Rogers
I’m gonna assume some crazy progress from her trip to nevermore, bet she joins the harem officially in the near future

@Little Silly, are you not confusing world wonders with dungeons. World wonders are made by the system as part of the integration of a new universe
Mat
@Damian Book 7 Chapter 62 does mention that each integration has its own world wonder
Vega
I miss Jake & Draskil. It’s like the saga of the Awkward & Awkwarder, megapowerful version
Vega
It’s humanising! I love how he’s the big bad wolf but also sometimes the relatable awkward dude who doesn’t always think things through
Vega
Normies’ perspectives of Jake always makes me chuckle
Vega
This was a thought borne from the Holy Church fight. That way he has a convenient way to attack groups of opponents too powerful for fear gaze without risking soul injury (I’m assuming that’s why he didn’t use that) but weak enough not to bother fighting one on one. Besides, he technically already has an AoE poison mist skill, I assume he just didn’t use it as he didn’t want to hurt Bertram & Jacob. Jake won’t always get to choose his opponents, sometimes he’s going to be put in a position where he has to fight, not out of pleasure, but out of necessity or politics. Like the Holy Church situation.
BumAssBumAss
Jake doesn't need more AoE attacks. It's be nice to have though. It's mentioned several times that concentrating your skills is better against smaller number of individuals. Considering Jake's path of hunting those stronger than him, AoE attacks would do nothing. It'd be interesting to see how he uses gas for planetary sacrifice rituals or poisoning enemies though.

Weezing? What’s that from?
Richard Rader
I’m hoping a quick trip to the order, a Yippy Snack® from Villy, explore his recent gains from killing the Orange F*ck, and poof he’s B grade the day after he’s able to travel back to the Order
Dan
Exactly, it was both 😂
Henrik Nørgaard
He didn't crash land, he landed with purpose and pure fucking rage ^^
Vega
Jake becoming Weezing would be awesome, he needs more AoE attacks
Phil Ritter
It’s really funny for everyone to think him a schemer while he himself acts more like a second coming of Valdemar in his approaches.
Phil Ritter
I don’t think it’s right to generalise. In the end we have no clue and with the system changing it up every era taking inspiration from other eras doesn’t make much sense. Also comparing natural and artificial world wonders like already mentions doesn’t make sense either. In the end we have to come to terms with the fact that Zog can do anything without it breaking the worlds logic
Phil Ritter
I mean by todays world standards he’d be cooking up some war crimes not that he’d care
Phil Ritter
It would be really funny to see a comment or two once in a while. Imagine he’d be getting a profession made just to observe Jake similar to how Miranda is connected to him through her profession.
Phil Ritter
my guess is that people hunt at day and party eat or do whatever at night since nobody needs sleep. Combine that with his beam illuminating all of haven then it was probably a lot more that witnessed it
Phil Ritter
Orange may be dead but Altius was also still in the board for 92nd even to Yip killed him so being alive is probably only the criterium for the all time leaderboard
Phil Ritter
Probably it feels hard to tell how long it would take with the diminishing returns it could be years or he does something ridiculous and gains a bunch of levels in one go. Who knows
brjenness
I can see some interesting things play out concerning order members at the wonder. current favorite...Miranda informs Jake order members are all wearing an identifying broach at the ceremony....if course it's the danger noodle statue. when Jake and gang arrive some one yells at Jake, "hurry up you idiot. get in position. the chosen will arrive any second " I can also see Jake and company arriving early and later arrivals show up with auras blazing only to be shut down by a reeeelease of sylphies aura.
Dan
I'm laughing at Hank expecting Jake to be careful. Sir, weren't you there when Jake crash landed outside his cottage and stared a massive crowd to death, like, 900 chapters ago?
Jordan Rogers
I am really glad that the remention of needing to be B grade for the world wonder, means most likely we really are getting a great montage of training and adventure to push for the evolution. Probably a good trip back to the orders academy too, to chase that dragon down about that soul flame and to get villy to send him somewhere to hunt another dragon
Josh Strange
Or instead of "This poison is primarily *INFECTED*" go with " This poison is primarily *INFLICTED*"
Vaporizer312
Yeah but orange guy was killed
Alexander Wilfling
Quick correction that I am not entirely sure about: It says here that the Eastbound Monk was number 6 on the Nevermore Leaderboard in the 93rd universe, but I‘m pretty sure he was only in 6th before Jake was added to the rating, so this would put him in 7th.

HAIL DANGER NOODLE

Yeah! Science bitch!
Shai182
I'm saying that Jake is a good leader and training those around him, even if it's accidental.
vio
He most likely meant middle of the day imo
Ty Cooper
Well Villy has said that this would be the era of the Viper and Jak
Ty Cooper
It will be a lot of those slow burners. I mean they have plenty of time to get there eventually. Hopefully the bleed off of records from Jake and his shenanigans will be good. They did say that earth is the new hot spot for the galaxy. So keeping up with all the growth of the fort might push him forward as well.
Sarianne Roodenburg
Good last chapter for the week. And of course Jake found a way to blow up his lab... 🤦🏼♀️ 😅 have a nice weekend y'all and see you on Monday 🥳
Borbino the great
He’s just saying cause it was dark out so the beam stood out even more
Nate
a bright light is easier to see in the dark... D and C grades need little sleep so many people probably saw it
Ty Cooper
Even Cheeto said in his dieing moments that Jake pushed him to get stronger, pushed him to go further in Nevermore. He us going to push these other elites. Like the munk. I am not sure what part he will play in the upcoming arc but he seems to be a new big character. Hoping he will be a new friend. I am curious what the Dao sect has coming up. I believe they want a friendly relationship with him.
MacMahon Wenzl
It's just like how people think he is politically minded but in reality he is so bad that he's come full circle and is actually good at it for some reason.
MacMahon Wenzl
The best part is Jake is technically a good "schemer". It's just that he's so oblivious to everything that he accidentally stubles across his schemes.
Vinstro
Tftc again, Zogarth! Minor edit suggestion: "Jake had even been so smart as to do it in the middle of the night to make {-more} [+less] people see." I'm not sure if More is what you're going for here because the "middle of the night" quip usually implies less.
Zack Leach
Naaah. Draxle hated his home planet and people. He became a malefic dragonkin and never looked back.
brjenness
he did, but everybody else came back, so why not our favorite gymbronee dragonkin. of course he was a beast
Michael Ferguson
Thursday feels good.😊
Austin Richins
I feel like there's a lot of possibility in the ways of classic chemistry for Jake to explore. Yes, I know, we all love when Jake fudges things, but there's a whole lot still on the table to explore and reactive compounds could be a way to make great gas bombs of death.
Michael Ferguson
Caleb asking, "Overwhelming forces?" Jake nods, "that would work."
joel southard
Nice thank you for the chapter
Kurt Charlton
Hahaha I laughed out loud at danger noodle. I forgot all about that arc.
Justus Saucedo
Hehehe I hope zog just takes this a pretends this was his plan all along
Yeslek Nnamhctits
Poor hank... he works so hard
Bob Fight
I mean that’s good isn’t it maybe it’ll help push him to b grade getting kinda worried about some of these side characters that don’t seem to growing anymore I know they would still live for like a thousand years at their current grades but Jake has already spent massive amounts of time in time chambers and stuff really helps drive home how hard it is to progress after all you gotta remember Jake is in a very favorable position as a chosen and it’s still took him what like 70 years of time dilation and another 50 in nevermore to get to where he is currently and he’s only c grade
Michael Ferguson
I miss that conspiracy guy. He would have something to say about Jake almost killing his own town while he brews up war crimes. Everyone must know the truth!
Phasmatic7
Thankies zogie
Trevor Mergen
Thanks!

TFTC :) Nice slice of life and update to go into the weekend. Suggested Edits: "The closer the thousand-day deadline since the Prima Guardians would all be released was," this is just a super clunky sentence, the meaning is clear but theres gotta be a better way to phrase it surely? "As the 1000 day deadline for the end of the Prima guardian event approached," even if you keep it mostly as is, "since" should be "until" and drop the was "What’s more, this warrior did it expecting nothing with a stellar reputation," again what youre trying to say is clear but this doesnt quite work as is. Possibly just missing some punctuation or switching parts "Whats more this warrior, with an already stellar reputation, did it expecting nothing" "of a galaxy *seeped* in death" should be "steeped" (im british so my tea senses were tingling :)) "That’s where they got *their entirely own* event and competed with one another." should be "their own entire" or "an entirely separate" "a lot *simpler* than fighting a Prima Guardian or anything like that... they were *simply* given the task" pet peeve time "a lot more straightforward" maybe? "The many Seats of the Exalted Primas" extra s at the end of Prima "This poison is primarily *infected* through breathing" doesnt seem quite right here? Maybe "absorbed"? "to house *high*-compressed gasses." should be "highly", and no hyphen I'm pretty sure.
Michael Ferguson
May the blessings of the Danger Noodle be with you, first of the day! 😁
Jack Liu
TFTC! Some fun alchemy, will be interesting when Jake whips those out wondering what the next major arc will be, maybe that dragon hunt. probably a bit of slice of life to catch-up on all the other characters
Michael Ferguson
His gains were just mentioned in this chapter. He killed number 2 from the Nevermore boards. And every other galaxy is nervous. HAIL TO THE DANGER NOODLE!!!
Michael Ferguson
For Science!

I thought draxle abandoned the 93 with a one way portal. I was also was thinking the monk was bald but now he has a mullet and mustache in my head.

How could anyone possibly prepare for the chosen of the great danger Noodle? He must be scheming horrors unimaginable. 😂🤣😭😍

That’s what enemy factions are for!
Zuuuuuri
Back up to the back up’s back up plan, if poison doesn’t work try melee attacks with more poison
Little Silly
XD he gains the ability to use the stable part of Jake’s arcane affinity because it’s the only way to deal with Jake. (Man that stable affinity would be great for construction…the whole Jake/Primal affinity really…)
SinCinnamon
Jake is gonna need a headhunter to find him prey. A specialized information broker for “dumb and/or evil” targets to hunt at leisure.
Ira White
Back up to the back up plan if at first you don't succeed try poison untill it dies
Polaris
Not to mention they don’t even know about Schemeing Sylphie. Big Wind Meet Go Big Bang
Little Silly
Wyrmgod made Nevermore and the Devils made their hells. We know the 6th era turned the 9 hells into a world wonder and that Nevermore was somehow approved by the system. The issue is the most well known World Wonders aren’t natural, so we can’t use them to determine much about natural ones. We can try to compare them, but World Wonders are unique and rare like Unique Lifeforms.
Polaris
Yeah I think his only benefit was the fallen kings fragment. Everybody was too weak for it to matter otherwise

I laughed when I read the transition to Jake’s story. “meanwhile, back in dummy-land” haha! 😂
Mrburns93
At this point only natives can claim it. They are the ones with the keys. But realistically most natives are just puppets with a gods hand up their poopchute
brjenness
anybody else thought it was draxil that soloed the galaxy. I bet the eastbound monk has a mullet.
Samuel Nelson
Now that is a great way to go into the weekend!

backup plan...attack harder
Vex
I can answer that. No exp.
Daniel Brian
I get the feeling that he didn't gain much from that slaughter, since they have to be at LEAST above his level for him to gain exp.
Shai182
TFTC! Poor Hank, he has to work harder... and gain levels every time he fixes Jack's "Accidents"
Damian Horbal
It's the perfect plan actually. You only have to be strong enough 😎
Damian Horbal
1. There were no mentions that echa universe has a world wonder. 2. In second universe there was property an event after the natives became gods themselves so they had a chance to compete. 3. In 93rd multiverse it is stated that only these with the administration keys of exalted prima have a chance to claim the world wonder and for now there isn't a way to transfer them to someone else so could be that only natives can claim it.
David
I'd really like to know what notifications he had and his gains after the fight with the holy church
Zuuuuuri
A very sound plan that Tony stark approves
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth it’s been a great weeks reading I hope you have a good weekend.
Nate
So Zogarth gave us some insight into just how big his inhabited multiverse is with this sentence. "Even if only a few percent of planets fell, that would still be billions of worlds lost." Doing some very conservative math, I calculate a minimum of 1.5 trillion INHABITED planets. More realistically over 8.5 trillion in the multiverse. Conservatively I used 10 for a "few" percent as it is a nice round number easy to calculate. I then used 2 for "billions". Subtract the 2 billion lost that gives us 18 billion planets in the 93rd minimum. Multiplied by 93 universes. 1,674 rounded down to nearest 500 billion. Realistically I used 5 for "few" and 5 for "billions" 5 / %5 (.05) = 100 100 - 5 = 95 95 x 93 = 8,835

Maybe repairing pallet will be professional quest before evolution to B-grade
Indevan Jones
That would be brilliant lol
John Looney
Jake Schemes: choose prey, sneak on prey, shoot prey, prey put good fight, prey die, loot prey… repeat It’s all very high brow you just wouldn’t understand lmao
Jordan Rogers
I’m assuming a lot of the galaxies who ended up with one leader may just submit to Jake’s leadership, including the beast leaders, just to join a strong side that isn’t the holy church
Mat
Does a native stand a realistic chance in claiming a world wonder or they just have first mover advantage then transfer it to a peak multiverse faction? Nevermore the world wonder of the 2nd era, was claimed by the Wyrmgod and nine hells of the 6th era was claimed by devils. So does any native have a chance or only already existing gods can achieve it? Yip didn't seem to have been in charge of the 92nd era world wonder.

I think he will try repairing pallet with the gift from the viper. You know the last piece of yip of yor

Who would have thought that Jake’s alchemy could potentially harm the city? It’s not as if he asked for a subterranean lab just for fun…
Baged
"because if he had been, he would have just viewed their leaderboards as a to-hunt list." Had me looking out the windows a good 5 min.
Clint
I feel like that might be less true now. The more intelligent beasts get, the more of them Jake will see as potential friends and sparring partners rather than just prey.
Clint
That’s always been Earth’s big advantage. People keep marveling at how many talents are from Earth, but the end of the Treasure Hunt showed us how much Carmen, SS, and Jake himself benefited from the friendly competition.
Clint
Great Friday chapter, closing an arc. Always love seeing the other great talents of the 93rd, even just in passing. Eastbound monk is a great name. Can’t wait to meet him. I feel like chasing horizons and heading towards the dawn could have interesting comparisons and help Jake understand what the System is saying about his path. Re:poison gas… I wonder if Jake could go in a battlefield control/domain direction with this. Fill the battlefield with a toxic gas that hinders his enemies but reinvigorates him. (Remember that poisons help him regenerate health and mana, and he’s spent time learning to make potions that heal him but are toxic to everyone else.)
Ty Cooper
And remember the Twin Soul Kingdom from the Order? They are 93rd universe also, so they will try and get all those supporters/boot lockers to help and them in some kind of leadership spots.
Ty Cooper
I am really curious if he is working on repairing pallet or if maybe the upgrade he will get makes it so he can heal it
Ty Cooper
Lol he starts getting offered skills or professions with the Harbinger tag somewhere on it. "Harbinger's Builder of Immutability Construction"
Cory Sauls
I love a good time skip. Getting closer to finishing this event.
Ty Cooper
Makes it feel like Thursday though. Lol
Ty Cooper
Great plan dont see anything wrong with that.

The Multiverse - Viper’s Chosen MUST be a pro schemer. Jake - *insert shocked face covered in dust and soot from his most recent idea* Also Jake - “Arrows go boom…..?”

Hank: No you can't just do poison bombs in Haven! Jake: Haha poison bombs go whoosh

Hank's another person who makes godhood because of Jake's shenanigans. He's just a builder that makes building that can't be blown up from the inside.
Kt-x
Thanks for the chapter 😁
William WIlson
I'm sure the order has a few administrators. However all those administrators will follow Jake's lead.
Joseph Dizdar
Jake's attack plan = attack
Ty Cooper
Lol Hank is great. I can just picture schadenfreude on his face as Jake didn't give any response to his comment on no reckless experimentation. Also going to guess Jake stomping this event will send ripples of records through the 93rd universe. Just how Earth, then EH, and then the rest of the Galaxy grew to meat Jake's level/skill. He is a driving force pushing everyone forward to stand beside or against him.
Zuuuuuri
It’s always funny to hear about how people believe Jake could possibly be a great schemer
Loststar7
Love the story. Thanks for another fun chapter and not giving us a Friday cliffhanger 😁.

Ah, lol poor Hank. Ya think he'll end up getting like a bunker builder class? Or skill, something just to stop Jakes crazy explosions? Would be funny.

Welp that was to be expected but what I’m really curious about is how Jake’s meditation skill is looking right now after all that reading of the first sage’s book

By the Viper, don't let Jake think of asking Arnold to help build explosive gas bombs or he might accidentally genocide a few solar systems... So the World Wonder event really gets going at B Grade. I know World Wonders are very important, but there seem to be a few factions that don't really care bout those (the daolords for example). Wonder if the Order will want it or only get involved cause Jake wants it. tyftc!

Thx for the chapter
Daniel Hamilton
we got a world wonder and a very unique one at that. Still needs to be earned though as it looks like it’s gonna have a couple phases. Excited as to it’s purpose and what it’s going to do.
Unwillingmainer
It's probably a good thing Jake is basically the opposite of a schemer. It is a good thing he has Miranda around to do much of that stuff for him. Can't wait to see what insanity the end of the event brings.
Ritsu
The multiverse: We must take great care with the Viper's Chosen. Who knows what manner of scheme his mind is concocting?! Jake's mind: Haha, poison arrow go Big Boom!
Arrogant Savant
Tsk tsk, Hank doesn't understand that a major part of the alchemy profession is surviving self-made explosions
