Thanks for the chapter.

Kconraw

Thx for the chapter

Tammy

Man, Zogarth has taken us on one hell of a journey, and I’m all about it!

Zogarth

Pretty sure this is on the wrong chapter :P

Gregorio Martinez

I get a wizard of Oz man behind the curtains vibe from the voice guy.

Jonathan

They didn’t force people into particular Paths like the Holy Church either or required absolute obediance and faith. require absolute obedience They had millions of D-grades also help in this war, helping with a few also just extended out here and there from its body. extending

Trevor Mergen

Thanks!

Jeff McCulley

Might doesn’t make someone open a vault door from the inside.

Jeff McCulley

“…all the powers of a planetary leader to the hive.” The dwarves handed over the Pylon rights to the ants, not to Vesperia.

William WIlson

Um Vesperia doesn't need to use the authority thats not how true royals and ectognamorphswork at all. She has the authority yes but she doesn't need to use it because she is a true royal dealing with a hive queen. Now maybe if one of these hive queens was a quasi royal they might not listen but all hive queens which are part of the Endless Empire will naturally listen to any true royal, unless directly ordered to not by thier true royal. Also as the only true royal allowed into the 93rd universe I'm sure the other true Royals have either some form of communication with her or gave her permission before she left.

William WIlson

My bet is that because there is already a hive in control of this planet there is no need to establish a new one. Vesperia is probably looking for a planet in which ectognamorphs don't already have a massive presence as so she isn't butting in on another hive. Remember these hives don't share well at all, except possibly on earth but that's because earth in the eyes of ectognamorphs is a hive with multiple races in the hive. Remember Jake is basically a true royal as well. Vesperia will probably set up a hive in which the prima takes out the entire population and the ectognamorphs don't already have a strong presence. Plus a world in which is basically all underground probably isn't the best for wasps.

kandiana

The Guardian won't get weaker after it's freed, so the order doesn't matter in this case

Jeff McCulley

Not really. Right now he’s doing the equivalent of trying to mix potions without bothering to check the ingredients needed. Villy usually offers a modicum of common sense.

Numbzy

I could see there being more SOS calls as it goes on, at least for a little while. Think about it, a wold leader decides to play it safe and kill a bunch of the prima before releasing the guardian, but still under estimates the challenge leading to their defeat. I suspect it will work on a bell curve. Few in the beggining before the number ramps up and then tapers off later on.

Clint

To be fair, the System put up a leaderboard where Jake and EH and I are competing for points in the event. (I'm hoping Sword Saint is on the list now too, after soloing a PG. Not sure how the trio should count.) So it's not a stretch to have a friendly competition as well...

Gallagher.563

Jake is going to turn these Guardians into some sort of competition or stupid game with his friends isn't he?. How fast can you clear a guardian. How little time can you spend on a planet, how many worlds can you hit in a day

Martín Ballesteros Arias

Be like "guardian hunter for free! Will go to your planet and rid you of the guardian plague, 19 confirmed kills. Applications with a freed guardian will take priority

Martín Ballesteros Arias

Then in his application he'll ask nicely to release the guardian prior to his arrival to make the process faster

Clint

Single shot from miles away while invisible. Then becomes visible long enough to Gaze the basic primas to death. World leader jaw drop, “Who is this masked man?” But Jake just one-steps away to the teleporter…. Forgetting to even tell them his name.

Clint

Hard to know. Definitely turns out she was overconfident, but it was probably a close thing if she’s still alive and kicking. She gambled and lost, but we don’t know what her odds were, so hard to know if it was a smart bet or not.

SmokeJam

[”Your kin has worked alongside the hive here for many years, and they have vouched for your usefulness. If they consider you part of their hive, I shall respect their assessment and assist you. Now, the three of us have little interest in wasting more time here than necessary."] Like how is this comment even worth a discussion.

SmokeJam

Well yeah she can, but that doesn't mean there is any good reason to use that authority. Even more, not using it will show her respect to the direct True Royal which is equal to her. In short, I don't even understand where the thought process of the original comment came from, when the answer is right there in the chapter in 2 sentences.

Zack Leach

I dont think villy is gonna be much help. From jake and the viper's perspective, jake is being perfectly reasonable and downright charitable. Its the pervue of the strong to dictate to the weak in their mutual philosophy. Jake doesnt take it as far as villy but still.

Kevin Watson

it’s felt like Jake has been fairly deep in the Might Makes Right camp for a while now, but why wouldn’t he be? that’s literally how it works in this world

Jeff McCulley

I don’t think that dried worm snacks are terribly expensive.

Jeff McCulley

She wants a planet where there is no existing Hive. Where she can take over the entire planet. These ants are subjects of the Endless Empire. She isn’t going to wipe them out for her own Hive.

Jeff McCulley

I feel like the theme here is, “The Planetary Leader here is an idiot”.

Jeff McCulley

Either that, or this World Leader is just plain an idiot.

Jeff McCulley

A. The Workd Leader here is still alive. B. Miranda is absolute expecting that to happen at some point. There will be planets where the World Leader has abandoned ship, or Ell’Suckon has gotten them killed. I’m guessing the “privileges” of Jake’s ring will come into play at some point. Curious to see how Vesperia reacts when they go back to Earth, and she finds out (if) Arnold hasn’t sorted out the teleporter yet. One “privilege” may be, “You killed all of the Primas while the World Leader is an idiot. Claim Key?”

Jeff McCulley

I don’t think there are going to be many more total SOS calls. Not for almost five years—and Jake doesn’t want to wait that long.

Jeff McCulley

TFTC!

Jeff McCulley

Well…at least if the Guardian and a bunch of Primas are chasing the World Leader, Jake gets to kill a bunch of them at once. I’m assuming he kills the Guardian first, so it’s more of a challenge. Rather than risking it getting weaker by killing Primas first, even if they’re much weaker after. Guess we’ll see,

JC

Honestly, i think that world leader is just gonna be there to gawk and give a reaction to jake op'ing all over the prima guardian

Jeff McCulley

He’s going to get frustrated and make an adjustment, once he realizes that not everyone is absolutely desperate. He seems to be taking this way too frivolously—especially since he’s mentioned that he has “plans”. Might take a chat with Villy.

Benjamin Mages

Sometimes it's frustrating to see Jake refuse to understand that there are parts of the world that don't conform to his vision. Sometimes Jake seems fairly self aware of the fact that he's an outlier, and other times he's convinced that since he views the world in a certain way, everyone else should as well.

Stuart Thwaites

Awww I wanted to see Jake getting frustrated while frustrating a world leader, all because he doesn't politic good.

Phasmatic7

Thankies for the chappie zogie!

Inv7ctus

I cant wait for Jake to just put his kill counter in his application. And then re apply every where. The people watching just see it start ticking up. 1 guardian kill, 2 kills, 3 kills, as people get more desperate over time it just goes up faster. Gonna be great and the legend of the "Hunter" will finally start spreading to the less connected.

DDHG

An then Jake turned left, and everyone not fast enough to duck got smacked with his Phallic of the Malefic Viper. Because he stepped onto the scene and will kill Prima. Once more adding a bigger legend to the story of Jake Norris.

Thanks for the chapter

Seen Death

I wonder if jake could encourage the world leaders hes going to help, to put the applications into other worlds (like a reference), but im not sure jake will think enough to figure that out haha Although, these SOS acceptances might be the best speedrun to prima kills? This way basically skips all diplomacy, while saving the planets in critical condition... and his whole build is basically meant for these types of fights Either way im looking foward to whats next!

Seen Death

She gained "world leader" status of this planet she just saved (unless i misread and it just went to the other hive queens on the planet)... idk how often shell be back to manage these planets because her fellow ectos like keeping her as far away from danger as possible

Rhett Russell

She doesn’t need their approval to give orders as just the fact she is a true royal is enough to order non true royals around

John Durrett

No need to stop her search after at the first planet she encounters. Plus as a royal she is expected back on hive home turf with the rest of the royals where every need will be met

Aerlevsedi

Ok that would be hilarious, but the world leader is being hunted and is thus most likely still alive. Not saying she won't kick the bucket soon though... EDIT: so yeah hadn't realized how much time had passed since I'd refreshed the tab when I replied to what seemed like a comment without replies... ah well.

brian rowan

She

TKOva

3000 miles away.

kandiana

But there are different teleports for inplanet teleportation. It's a bit strange for them to be so close to the Alliance teleport. And it seems that inplanet ones are within towers

Frederik

they seem like they would be absoutly poor

Razeel Nightfall

It is still chasing the world leader.

Frederik

I cant Imagin them having anything that she would even want

Frederik

I say 5 min but only because the prima guardien is going to shit it self and trying to runaway from the scary hunter

Lynderyn

World leader needs to die for it to take control of the planetary pylon.

Frederik

as I understand it the vast majorety if not everyone is from this world and just teleportet from settelments that have fallen the the released primas

Frederik

I think it said that the primas are currently trying to hunt down the world leader so he may be still alive

Jana

As far as I remember there were 8 Plantes on which the Ectognas have the upper hands. Most of them won’t need help as the Ectos count as monsters which means the are under no threat from the Primas, in fact they might profit from the Prima taking out the rest of the opposition. We also already know that the Prima Guardian has a natural expiration date and the Hive Queens can simply take over after. So the planets that need help are the rare ones that have a symbiotic relationship and I bet that’s how Vespy choose where to go first. The other, dominated Planets are most likely far more suitable for her Hive but they are not in time critical need of help. So yeah, help out first because time is against you there - build hive later as time passing benefits you here(cause prima expiration)

Arieh Sochaczevski

Thanks for the chapter. I have a few edits, but my messages keep getting mangled. I’ll try from a terminal later on. It’s been too long since we’ve seen Jake taking action. This little tidbit didn’t quite scratch the itch, but I’m excited for tomorrow.

Tom Henman

Then why is Prima Guardian chasing world leader? It sounds more like most of party got killed but world leader escaped.

William WIlson

She may not be the ant true royal but she travels with all the true Royals approval and because she is the only true royal who can enter the 93rd universe it wouldn't surprise me if they all gave her the right to give them orders.

Ty Cooper

Ok I gotcha but why did she not establish a hive? Is it she might come back later after clearing more guardians? Thought the situation they are in is exactly what she wanted? A planet she could claim? That's what made me wonder about the planet. Was it weak or unsuitable?

Cam

Poor Miranda!

William WIlson

It wouldn't surprise me if at the end the ant world and earth end up having a teleportation circles as so the dwarves can get some levels. Considering it sounds as if the ants have basically completely demolished any of the weaker possible prey to level. I also think it would be open to anyone who wants to travel back and forth so long as they follow each worlds respective rules. I mean earth is protected one of the best places for lower leveled individuals to gain experience. I mean not only do they have a bad ass dungeon in Haven but will also soon have the labyrinth dungeon. Making earth not that bad of a spot for weaker people to grow stronger.

Steven Myer

Rulers not dead, just currently. Being chased!

William WIlson

Personally I'm hoping for the pov of the world leader almost dead when Jake one shots the prima and tosses them a potion which heals the world leader instantly. I also think that this is one or the world Ell’Hakan would have willingly allowed to fall because they weren't caught up so easily by his Bloodline. Maybe even a world in which he hoped would fall to later reclaim. Similar to the planet the Sword Saint went to.

William WIlson

I'm hoping tomorrow we get the world leaders pov where they are about to be killed by the prima guardian and out of nowhere boom it blows up to a single arrow from Jake. Just like when Jake saved the group from the venom vang badger when he was testing his archery of vast horizons. Only meeting this world leader because he wants them to open that damn ship up so he can move on.

Andyr98

1 single shot from 30 miles away

William WIlson

The planet isn't weak but the population that could fight against the prima guardian is. Basically every ectognamorph in the 93rd universe cannot fight the prima guardian except Vesperia. Is is because she never used any of the system item introduced because of the integration of the 93rd, it the same reason Sylphie can join in. Because while she did get roughly half of the mystic bone it wasn't enough to stop her. Sylphie and vespy get most of the evolution stuff from Jake setting them upon that path not from system items. So the dwarves are weak in a fight but the ants aren't.

Abriel Blauer

Just realized Jake is on a world where the Prima Guardian has killed the Planetary Ruler. If Jake kill the Prima Guardian, will he obtain both keys, allowing him to claim that world. If so, can't wait for him to tell Miranda: "Hey, I kinda have a second world. Please take care of it for me"

Mat

Looks like after Nevermore, some world leaders became over confident or just misinformed on Prima event already considering Nevermore rapid growth

liquid_helix

Lol, nice work

JJB4345_80_815

Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!

Cory Sauls

Thank you for the chapter.

Cory Sauls

My theory. Jake is going to be very disappointed with the guardian he faces after he kills it with gaze and doesn’t even have to pull out his weapons. Everyone around trying to hold off the guardian will just look at him and fall to their knees. First word out of Jake’s mouth when he sees this? “Pathetic, not strong at all.”

A Flashy BR

Murder time

kandiana

I'd imagine Jake using One Step Mile and not just casually walking, but nevermind So all the people teleporting around Jake also came from different planets? Some even running away? Seems like Jake will have a lot of places to go that wouldn't care who he is

TyranT-Rex

I also think this guardian is going to be relatively high level. This world leader probably turned down EH assistance due to her confidence in her and her people. Jake is going to want to test out his new skill effects and his opening shot is going to do way more damage than he is used to. Then subsequently follow up attacks will make it look like he is toying with it. I hope he bullies the PG in front of the world leader and as many people as possible.

I’m guessing this one might be a high level PG. The world leader was confident enough (so maybe high ish level) to release the PG right away. So it should be at the upper level of its power since the power level is determined by the number of regular primas killed before releasing it. The extended health pool make it difficult to one shot, but a first round KO is definitely a strong possibility. Also frozen in fear is a kind of calm

Ty Cooper

Great chapter. Though I thought that Vespy was looking for a planet of ectonas to start her hive process in th 93rd universe? Or was the planet to week? I was guessing to week.

Nice

Thanks for the chapter!

Lizy Flore

Haha Jake i fckg love when he gets like that 😂😂 who wanna bet on how long it’ll take him to kill the PG ? I say 3min Thanks for the chapter too, as fun as ever 😁

The only reason I still don't completely despise Mondays. Tftc

SmokeJam

Why wonder about sth which she already made more than clear? The ant hive is considering the dwarves to be a part of it, means they are already loyal to the Eternal Empire. 2ndly she is a True Royal, but not the ant true royal. She has no reason to interfere whatsoever and already said as much.

joel southard

Nice thank you for the chapter

Jake Conway

Veering on the side of caution -> erring on the side of caution engaging any Prims -> engaging any Primas Without further ago -> without further ado

Jana

Jake will kill the Prima Guardian, probably while complaining about its lacking quality and leave a totally flabbergasted World Leader behind to jump to the next World now, will he?

Tyler S.

Im just expecting him to get a planet where he can orbitally bombard all primas as he flys towards the guardian. But for his first to be a clusterfuck is pretty funny

Jana

Pretty sure she will keep em. The Other Queens view them as part of their Hive and she might be one of the few True Royals to understand that notion due to her viewing Jake as part of her hive.

To add, the paragraph starts with “The Hive Queens…”

Decibel790

Not sure why, but it's always so satisfying seeing Jake's ability to just make everyone shut up for a minute. Also I'll be amazed if sylphie hasn't put a massive dent in the dwarves snack supply.

Clint

What do we think? Is Jake going to one-shot the Guardian on this world? And is this world one that EH screwed over, or just one with a World Leader who had too high an opinion of himself? Also, laughing at Jake's idea of "calming things down a bit".
