Arnold would make the Great Mechanic Han proud

DasGoat622

“What’s more, the power a True Royal wielded was of an entirely different nature to people who simply had a high status. Jake was the Chosen of the Malefic Viper, yes, but he was still “only” a C-grade for now, and he wouldn’t be able to command the forces of the Order of the Malefic Viper unless the god agreed and gave him express permission.” I think we can all agree that Villy would definitely let Jake command the entire Order just to see what kind of chaos he could he could bring to the multiverse

Arieh Sochaczevski

I don’t know that he’ll get any “loyalty” from the demon lord. I don’t think they’re enemies, but they might not be close enough to be part of his faction. That implies others might not be in the future, either.

Arieh Sochaczevski

As I already acknowledged, YMMV. I don’t expect Zogarth to take my opinion - or any individual reader’s opinion - as gospel, but a reader’s critical comment might bring a writers attention to something worth addressing. Or not. He can do with it as he pleases. He’s expressed in the past that he looks to these comments for a critical response, so long as we aren’t assholes about it. If every vaguely negative statement needs to be jumped on and refuted, then it’s just cheerleading.

ItsFin

Void-Touched Mechanic is such a cool title

Jeff McCulley

Jake getting something out of it was assumed. And hey, as he gets better, he’ll likely find more efficient ways to use Jake Juice. Ten True Royals in one go? Sure! Twenty mechs? Sure!

Jeff McCulley

I don’t think that Arnold is afraid of Jake whatsoever. Or afraid, period. Given, he might call Jake and ask what he thinks. But I’m pretty sure he’d rationally figure that a Royal was a big girl, and can make her own decisions.

Jeff McCulley

“Bags a God” He’s about to bag Artemis. ;)

Chase Burton

Thanks for the chapter!

Cody Howard

Feel like she doesn't need one, if I recall, they they don't give inherent power, just records and implied assistance, which I think she's good in both regards

BB8ALREADY

I’m pretty sure at this point Yip and his chosen plan on converting Jake to their side instead of killing him. They have a misunderstanding with Jake’s profession class and thinking he isn’t a true believer to Vilas

BB8ALREADY

In about 10 hours lol

Ken

Hope next chapter comes out soon!

Jason Hardman

Terrifyingly Cute!

alejandro jimenez

I don’t think that Arnold would do that. If only because he would be afraid of how Jake would react to that.

SinCinnamon

Agreed! Wonder if the gardening troll is strong enough to be interesting. Could start a great bee or bumblebee hive to help Jake’s gardens.

Razeel Nightfall

That would take a lot of Jake Juice. I don't think Jake would do such a thing unless he got an even exchange or a deal with more in his favor.

SinCinnamon

You may have some honey and a cute bumblebee to cuddle. Actually, here are cute bumblebees for the children living in Haven. For fun.

Jeff McCulley

Auty? Auty Murphy.

DeamoniumDraco

This is very true

Richard Rader

Love that last line…

Daniel is ŁØNE

Jakes robot kid would definitely be glados, and I kinda feel like that would be an interesting way to foster a treaty between the 2 races with Jake and Villy as the unintentional mediators

ChRiAn

I see at least one half elf in the future line up of his kids.

ChRiAn

@Tim Bartlett skipping a whole grade seems to much, even for whatever big game hunter has become till then

DirePants

….👻

ChRiAn

I see any robot child of him to turn into Glados.

Jeff McCulley

Yes, but remember…that mental strain and trauma means LEVELS for her Profession!

Jeff McCulley

But…but…but…Jake really doesn’t have an empire? He said so himself! 😂

Jeff McCulley

Bee mine?

Jeff McCulley

Miranda just decided to look on the bright side, after all. And there’s a whole continent the wasps can have, iirc. Though I think the moon would be better, once Vespy reaches B grade.

Jeff McCulley

Went back and reread since her arrival, didn’t see that. Just the unique treasures she consumed.

Jeff McCulley

“Certain” might work as well. Guaranteed? But why her Class, rather than her Profession? That’s the diplomatic part.

Kevin Goering

And I don’t mean anything negative, I just enjoy etymology. Though I was tempted to mistype it as the common mistaken entomology in the spirit of Vespy from the chapter

Kevin Goering

Undoubtful is a word, but if it didn’t read smoothly for you it might read awkward for others too. But wouldn’t want Zogarth to second guess every sentence especially if we bring different English dialects on common usage :( writing is already hard enough I imagine for the amount of content they’re putting out consistently. Unquestionable has more use at 0.9 occurances per million words in English (opm) but wasn’t a word until 1750, while undoubtful has 0.01 opm but has been around since 1450. They both depict a type of certainty, but it’s not abnormal for a synonym to feel more functionally correct as a replacement based on familiarity

James coe

For a female persona I vote for Hally

Xarroworth

Who was that again? I feel like i remember the name from somewhere..

Jeff McCulley

The Automata are interested in currying favor as well. Funny story, if Jake could broker a peace between the Automata and the Endless Empire, promising to return 38 to each side over time, do you suppose they’d both go for it? To clarify, under the condition of a permanent peace treaty?

Codewrds

Thanks zog

Arkenian

I feel like Arnold is very ecognato-esque. If you think about someone who really is happy to consume all the resources of a planet with a mindless group of drones who obey the commands of a single ruler.

Arkenian

"It was also undoubtful that this kind of encounter was impactful on her progress as a Court Witch." I'm pretty sure undoubtful isn't actually a word, it's understandable but incredibly awkward sounding. I think "It was also *unquestionable* that this kind of encounter..." is what you are looking for.

Arkenian

I mean, they have been at some level? It's why they are suddenly less interested in killing Jake.

Chloe

Tyftc.

joel southard

Nice thank you for the chapter

Daniel Hamilton

And now you have probably the entire demon race on his side, and the life gods.

Tim Bartlett

My bet is he bags his first God at the tail end of A grade putting him into S grade

Kelarys

That would make for a quite awkward Thanksgiving lol

Strato Junon

Oh man I love vespy. Tyfc!

Alex Cox

Mechy

Alex Cox

She mentioned recieving the true blessing of one of the True Royals, I think in the last chapter

joey

I can imagine it now. "Hey look at this new hive queen. The void touched mechanic provided interesting mutations." "Thats co... wait! You had s** with Arnold?!?!" "What? No he gathered a sample with his machines." "oh"

WetCarrot

Maybe the endless empire would go to war with yip of yore too

James Faulkner

Tftc!

Thenais

Toastery

Dominick Gelardi

Shouldn't it be a profession?

Mat

Can Vespy get a blessing? I don’t believe that has ever been started.

DDHG

It's funny with how accidentally good Jake is at keeping his info underwrap. That Yip of Yore and his chosen probably didn't consider Vespy in their plans if the goal was to still kill Jake. Cause this chapter really does put into perspective that if Jake died, she might just go on a rampage and target the chosen of Yips planet.

Ryan Ulrich

If Jake ever uses his special juice to make a robot I request he be named Robby or Andy

Darshar Griffonmane

Going to be so funny (and stressful for Miranda) when random wasp hives start settling on Earth because it turned into Vespy's summer home.

Trevor Mergen

Thanks!

Josh Sabo

He’s gonna be the Limitless Emperor

DirePants

Vespy you’ve stung my heart and filled it with a venom known as love… a burning painful love.. that’s causing me difficulty…. Breathing… *gasp*… 🥰…😵

Tommy

True Royal Daddy

Matthias

Tftc! "Waiting for Mirnada, they sat and talked a bit" -> Miranda

Martín Ballesteros Arias

She's definitely terrifyingly cute

Kt-x

Thanks for the chapter!

Daniel

One of jakes class choices for B grade should be a gag class like the sire of a true royal.

Zach Neumann

Under normal conditions, that would be correct. But the relation to Jack may change things. He does have his way of telling the system to fuck off.

ChRiAn

May Miranda realise that she can scold the one that pats the true Royal

Jeff McCulley

Sooooo…a third Hive Queen incoming, of the Vesparnoldia strain? Sheerly coincidentally, of course, this one fertilized?

One Winged Angel

I AM THE QUEEN OF BELL HORNETS, WASPS AND YELLOW JACKETS!!! I WILL SCOURGE YOUR ENTIRE UNIVERSE AND LAY EGGS IN YOUR CORPSE!!! *Pat's head* Ok nevermind am good Vespy!

Jeff McCulley

Congrats? I thought it was all interesting, helpful context, and Miranda’s final observation was so very on point. And satisfying. Oh, not to mention the more than likely pending Vesperia/Arnold records combination.

Xarroworth

I have gotten the "so you have chosen death" meme by him quite a few times :)

Jeff McCulley

Now you’re just poking the lion.

Arieh Sochaczevski

TFTC. This one dragged a little bit for me. I’ve been loving the chapters recently, but this one didn’t hit any of the usual high-points. Just my not-so-humble opinion. YMMV.

Fallen King might be able to teach Vespy a few thing she would normally never learn. How to lose. She might even listen to him, because of his unique connection to Jake and because his path also includes ruling.

Steven Bartels

Unique Life forms cannot reproduce

Drew

Consider this: every one of Jake's creations is loyal, in their own way. Just by C-grade, Jake has already sired three (all of whom are exceptional). Imagine how many he will have sired by the time he's S-grade or become a god. All loyal. All affiliated with whatever independent faction forms around Jake, because eventually he will have his own faction separate from Villy's. And that faction will be allied with Villy's and probably all of those of the gods who've taken the most interest/have already formed connections with him. And Jake will probably start axing gods pretty early in S-grade, absorbing their resources and territory. My point being: Jake's future faction is going to be SUCH a powerhouse, on a multiversal scale, probably achieving those levels of power faster than any other new faction in history.

SmokeJam

My one golden ray on a monday with 12h work. Thanks as always for the laughs.

DeamoniumDraco

I love Miranda, but the mental strain and trauma she receives from Jake just being Jake is hilarious 😂

Black Salmon

Thanks for the chapter zog

Athena

tftc :) "poor wayward adventures." -> "poor wayward adventurers."

Danny

Nice chap give me some good laughts And I am amased jake beeing op as fuk is still so fun and interesting and dose t get boring keep up the good work! :)

Olof Karlsson

Thanks for the chapter!

mitchell kaiser

This is a great chapter and really shows why I love this series. The relationship between characters really warp themselves around Jake. He turns a lot of things on their head and it’s heartwarming/funny.

Demonshadow639

That will be interesting, but not as hot headed as you think… they both are royalty but he is just a king while she would be a king of kings, oh and they both respect and submit to Jake (even if one won’t admit it out loud lol). I think they will have stare off and then accept their place as hands of their king so to speak.

Zach Neumann

That was in passing at best. Now, they get to work together. I wonder how Jack will feel if Vespy and King decide to get together.

Ben Sheahan

They met at the order didn’t they? When Jake was announced as the Chosen?

Klown Keidra

It probably wouldn't be hard at all, just give Arnold a specimen in return to study, and he'll be happy. The Primal Void Hive Queen though that came from that.

Endern

Wasps with lasers incoming?

SinCinnamon

I really, really want to see the negotiations for Arnold to help fertilize a Hive Queen. His records would be a boon and the scene would be hilarious!

Michael

The answer to the question Miranda asked can be found from Helen's thoughts "An apex predator... no, the monster who hunts them"

TheAverageNerd

Welcome to the club, Zog is quite good at corrupting us. Feel free to complain about it with the rest of us in the discord

Valhazstromoz

Jake thayne the monster patter

Pablo Barbatto

You call them Daddy? And hope you can keep your job?

UMCDaEMON pp

"May I ask how Her Majesty plans on plans on approaching the task of spreading the knowledge of her presence?” Remove extra "plans on" As usual love the story.

Zach Neumann

Oh, I can't wait for Vespy and Fallen King to meet.

Tyler S.

A hunter...

Chris Bailey

Dont forget Scarlett!

Matthias

tftc

Xarroworth

Dunno if you got the joke xd

JJB4345_80_815

Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!

JSC

I just woke up and this is what I get to read first. It’s gonna Bee a great day !

Keeponlaffin

Huh, I just realized that I am excited about Monday’s now

chad

Yay glad Vespy is back one of my favorite characters.

Tristan

You would call that individual a monster Miranda lol

Gavin

When Jake hits god level he's gonna be truly terrifying

Chris Edwards

What would you call a guy that calls a True Royal "Vespy?" You'd call them "Jake" the kind of guy that calls a Primordial "Villy" ;p

Songy

Answer: an utter monster

CipherFTW

A walking calamity for all who may stand in his way. That's what I'd call him. Perfect timing as always!

Man of Sodium

lol

Undead PettinZoo

Cute af would be what it's called. Head pats for all

CinnamonHawk263

Good old Jack destroyer of social norms.

Boombaga

Always a good day when a chapter releases! There was a small double text piece in there (I already lost it from reading on from it but I think it was a "plan of plan of" doubling) but still, thanks for the chapter! :D

Xarroworth

What a wonderful upload schedule you have, zog. Also: TFTC

Detrox

Yay

Aerlevsedi

What wonderful timing today!
