Correction: and seeing as I believe you have seen the fall of a world and that I am NOT aware of any planets falling nearby, that only enforces it.

Kconraw

Thx for the chapter

Olof Karlsson

Thanks for the chapter!

Side Story 2: The Primordials For some reason I always thought holy mother was the first, and I think its cause she's listed first in the poem in that side story. Some part of my brain always assumed they were presented in order. Poster above is right though, that there's a note in the Viper's blurb (same side story) that there are unconfirmed rumors he was the first

Abdulaziz ALRumaih

Where can I find that?

SqrlyGrly

I think Villy and Valdemar are the first two. They were from before the first integration.

Yaldabaoth

Hmm, good point 🤔 Though there is a slight difference of a "one off thing," and "continuesly doing it, at all times without show for wear and tear" But that's jist nuance, I guess So, yeah, still definitely a good point 😁 I didn't think of that, ty 😊

@ Htet Htet Aung - Inference vs Statement. Inference - stitching together limited available data to come up with a hypothesis. Statement - declaring something to be an indisputable fact. Do I KNOW that the Malefic Viper has added a drop of his blood before (to others) to the Trial of Myriad Poisons (ToMP)? No, I do not. Do I want to spend the time necessary to go back to Jake's ToMP and comb through the paragraphs to back up what I INFERED? No, I don't want to do that either. I re-read that part of the story Nov/Dec 2023, so it's still somewhat fresh in my mind. From what I remember, Duskleaf was more concerned about Jake being such a low grade in comparison to Villy that a drop of Villy's blood would overpower Jake's records and create a Villy devotee. My question is why? Why would Duskleaf's MAIN concern be about the difference in grades between Villy and Jake if Villy hadn't done this type of thing before, possibly with an S-grade or an A-grade/B-grade/C-grade? At the time, Duskleaf didn't know much about Jake's bloodline. But also why would Villy be experimenting for the first time EVER (93 eras with billions-to-trillions of years between every era) with his blood and the Trial of Myriad Poisons on a lowly grade newly Chosen (an investment of records already) without having an idea of the outcome? To me, it just makes sense that Villy has previously experimented with his blood and the Trial of Myriad Poisons before. Could I be wrong? Absolutely! But that is why I used the word infer and unless it is UNEQUIVOCALLY stated previously or futuristically in the series that Jake's ToMP was the ONLY time that a drop of Villy's blood was used in the process I will continue to believe what I believe, correctly or incorrectly. If anyone wants to take the time to hunt down that unequivocal answer and list where that answer can be found, please feel free to do so and after verifying it I will apologize for wasting everyone's time.

Hayden Leech

Yeah! Same pure courier path just she’s so fucking fast nobody can catch up to her hahaha

Hayden Leech

There are rumors (primordials side story) that Villy is the First God. That’s pretty neat.

Trevor Mergen

Thanks

Michael Fannon

Always wondered about the order of when each of the primordials showed up. We know the robot and Aeon both showed up later since gods were already atound when they became gods themselves. Not sure about the rest though.

Michael Fannon

It's a marathon, not a race. Perseverance is key. Per Villy and Duskleaf.

Nate Oppy

Woooooooo!

Alex

He already won an aura measuring contest with a Primordial. Just Jake being Jake. Suppressing Villys freely given blood actually seems insignificant in comparison

Yo what if this dragonkin guy is a low grade image of the wyrmgod, and this is based on his own past?

Skyler Brown

Immediately vanishes all mysterious like

Rezkin

Same!

Kaibutsu

I need wyrmgod reaction to this xD

Austin Barton

This is now the only acceptable outcome

James Faulkner

Tftc! Can’t wait to see the general reaction from the Gods in the audience lol

MacMahon Wenzl

Deus Ex Jake, the dragon is going to become a god by fighting and Jake is going to be like "see I told you I had the secret to God hood"

Zizawah

Leaning back, Jake laid himself down would be better. Thanks for the chapter!

Zizawah

Trial for higher grades yes but adding the blood has not been done before as far as I remember

JJB4345_80_815

The Trial of Myriad Poisons is a known thing of the Multiverse. At the time of the blood drop, Duskleaf was distraught because the Malefic Viper did it while Jake was such a low grade, which I infer to mean that the Malefic Viper has done this type of thing before. Therefore it shouldn't come as a total surprise to the other Primordials BUT does give the other Primordials some further info as to the quality of Jake's bloodline.

JJB4345_80_815

Yes, Thank you for the chappy, Zogarth! Also, yes, the reaction to Jake's shenanigans by the Primordials (& Minaga and Artemis) is going to be awesome!

John Balman

Didn't Villy say to become a god you had to take something back but he was very vague on it and told Jake it was to early for them to talk about it it would only hurt him if he knew or something

John Balman

Jake's rules for godhood 1# Don't die 2# kill something stronger 3# stay true to your path

JJMand

My theory is that the final step is to literally create your own divine realm, probably with a combination of all 3 resourse types(divine energy joke from book 1), maybe even using ones arcane affinity to create it, making it into a real afinity that can appear in the world. *Matpat voice* But that just a theory, a primal hunter theory.

Zizawah

Love the chapter title. Jake being just Jake is pretty awesome.

Lewke

Ree!

Mrburns93

It'll make sense to valdemar. He saw the same effect with his rune maiden. And she told him it was because of jake

Ray Williams

Really hope the final chapter for the full arc is Nevermore: Never More

Yaldabaoth

I'm curious to know what the gods think about Jake* being able to suppress a bit of* divinity within himself, as only a C-grade (currently) 🤔 And actually be able to utilize it, to get around the whole suppression on "Blessings"

austin kutz

He did both

Brady Taylor

I imagine Villy just sitting back smirking while all the other gods stare in confusion at Jake using the Vipers power himself

Vinstro

Viper: Ahh, the young really can bring a tear to your eye!

JJMand

The wyrmgod is not going to be happy about that lol.

“Laid”

joel southard

Nice thank you for the chapter

WannaBeATree

I love all these loopholes. Really following in the Viper's Path. :)

Zizawah

I don't think this is a feat that can be repeated by most C-grades as their souls cannot handle the inclusion of even a drop of divine blood.

Michael mann

“Leaning back, Jake lied down as he” I would change “Lied” to “Laid down” Tftc!

sn0mm1s

Herritage -> heritage

Josh Waddill

seeing as I believe you have seen the fall of a world and that I am aware of any planets falling nearby Would it not be seeing as I believe you have seen the fall of a world and that I am "not" aware of any planets falling nearby

Tommy

Yeah “Jake lay down” makes more sense to me

forgetfulposum

"Are you now going to tell me now what you really are and what you’re doing here?" I think this is one "now" to many.

forgetfulposum

Can be summoned to a divine hiding skill and c-grade holding records of a god

Isley

good chappie

Jason Hardman

I was thinking "let's do the time warp again" 😂

Jason Hardman

I thought that to. Made my brain stumble while reading.

Ty Cooper

I am looking forward to Minaga's comments to the Viper while pretending the wyrmgod cannot hear him.

Ty Cooper

Oh Minaga is never letting wyrmgod live this one down.

Ty Cooper

I wonder what a perfect score will bring at the end of the dungeon? Will Jake get points for each loophole he found? We know he will get the "mythical courier " badge after he saves the world. Would fund it hilarious if the forsaken ends up reaching godhood after the fight and gets Jake out of the examinations on how to reach godhood. 🤣 Plus Jake wrecking this dungeon is to good with Minaga's comments. Cannot wait to read what his final comments will be to the Viper, all while pretending the wyrmgod cannot hear him.

Irakli Jishkariani

😆😆 I want to see jake trying to give tips about godhood. Current quest points towards having aftermath.

Archmage37

Thanks for the chapter. Please please please can we see how swordsaint and slyphie handle this scenario.

IFL

For a moment I had the Macarena in mind, but this is better.

Archmage37

"Only if the reward for stopping is greater than the reward for breaking it." Probably Jake Thayne, 93 Era

Archmage37

Yeah next chapter has to have an aside of the GVP with Minaga patting the WGs shoulder while villy cackles.

Thenais

LoL

Athena

TFTC :D "the pressure severely lessened." -> "the pressure lessened dramatically."

Naotsugu97

TFTC. Full disclosure, I’m still caffeinating. Par. 71ish “Leaning back, Jake lied down as he put his hands behind his head” Lied seems off. Maybe lay?

Void

We can firmly say that Wyrmgod is going to be suffering due to Jake's shenanigans from this day forwards. He shall soon know the same pain he has casually inflicted upon Minaga.

Songy

*Meanwhile, a certain dragon-god is flipping a table*

Xarow

Thanks for the chapter. I suspect his current fan club debating what he did will be the next chapter.

Michael Fannon

My theory is that it is impossible to become a god if yhat is your goal. People become gods as a consequence of their path as a stepping stone rather than the end goal itself.

Michael Fannon

Jake found yet one more bug in the new dungeon. That makes it 4 now: can't be tracked because of divine skill, can't be forced to show karmic bonds due to divine skill, found the game beaking paradox loop, and was able to show off divine presence despite rules against that. Better get a reward for this. Or least another visit to the god hall to give an in-person review.

Michael

The onlooking gods are going to have a shit show with Vilas after possibly finding out Jake has his blood

Julian

"To become a god you must complete this arduous ritual. Hold your out to the side with the hand touching your hip, then hold your right arm out mostly straight but with your hand in a downward arc. Then you must sing the ritual words: 'I am a little teapot, short and stout, here's my handle, and here's my spout.' This is the only way."

Burkes

Pretty early. So my guess last chapter might not have been far off for a lot of people. Jake being jake said fuck allat, i choose option 5.

Xyminimal

Tftc

A. B. Edwards

"Jake... please. Stop breaking everything. I spent eras trying to perfect this. Please just stop. You have made your point." -Wyrmgod of Nevermore, 93rd Era

Oh please, oh PLEASE let Jake explain the top 5way of how to become a god!!!

Anthony

Waiting for the peanut gallery of gods commentary with a bag of popcorn

Pip Mitchell

Great chapter!

Mack

You tell em Jake!

MahoganyWood

Thanks for the chappie
