Interrupting whatever you guys are referencing to say that holy crap, Agora, that was an awesome way to end your post. :D

??? What, "Time, and death"?
I thought it was ridiculously cliche, myself.

[Genndy Oda C.O.G.]

No, it was pretty neat. But then, clichés hold no power in the realm of tropes.

Also, under what elemental affinity does decay fall under?

I don't think it really does.. But if you want to force it in, I'd say Earth.

Yeah earth sounds about right, decay being a natural and vital part of growth and renewal in plants, earth makes the most sense.

I'm a little disappointed in my fight with Eli so far. Little fighting between us and intteruptions by slime.

I hope my current post can bring things up to eleven and higher.

...WHAT IS A MAN?!

I don't quite follow......

Elaborate?

WHAT IS A MAN?! *smashes wineglass* A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS! BUT ENOUGH TALK! HAVE AT YOU!

I think it might've worked.

So Mimsy ended with a light show that destroyed my rock, and also creating a shroud of darkness above the clouds? With high amounts of void, I presume. Anything I misunderstood?

[AMimsyBorogove]

Yeah, I used void to slash up your rocks, but my left arm was broken by the impact, and the shrapnel dealt a cut over my left shoulder. Currently, I'm using the sun's light to power up concepts much faster than normal, essentially allowing me to charge a two-turn concept in one turn. Still charging it, though.

[Lordxana0]

Looks like we have another fight on our hands.

Gallium (Scarab) vs. Sidrat (Guyshane)

Drome 4

Fight begins with first post.

[AMimsyBorogove]

Mahnamahna. Doo doo do dodo. Mahnamana. doo dodo doo! Mahnamahna. Doo doo do dodo, do dodo, do dodo, do dodododo Imma chargin' mah attack.

[Victin]

How can you stop me from making my boulders?

How can you subvert Gaia's anger?

[AMimsyBorogove]

Gaia is a being that is existence itself, yes? Borogove subconsciously identifies this power as "Aether." By using energy derived from Gaia, Borogove sees you as using "Aether." Thus, he subverts it. If you noticed, though, he COULDN'T actually subvert Gaia's anger, hence why he dodged the attack instead of absorbing it.

As for the energy absorption, he's superimposing his soul over reality briefly to subsume energy based on his own personal existence rather than that of reality. In essence...

Borogove rejects your everything and substitutes his own.

Normally it wouldn't be that powerful, but he just broke out Muramasa - turns things red and triples their power with pure evil - on a sword with about ten concepts. That's jumping up a few hundred levels in power.

And yet Gaia is a god much more powerful than a demon. As much as you can drain my power, it is purely here to attack you. As I said, the natural energy around you (i.e. Aether) wants to kill you, so you should take in account it.

[AMimsyBorogove]

True, Gaia is much more powerful. Hence, the energy being slowly funneled into you is literally infinite. However, as Borogove's soul is disconnected from reality, Gaia can't simply crush his existence or overwhelm him. As his weapons are manifestations of his soul rather than anything of this world, they have a little bit of leeway to violate natural laws. Putting things into simpler terms, Borogove himself is not a Reality Warper. His weapons, however, are a little like holes in reality. Because of this, only a certain amount of Gaia's power can directly reach the target, the manifestation of Borogove's soul - namely, his sword - at once, and his sword can thus leech off of Gaia's energy bit by bit, subsuming it and then continuing. Because of Muramasa, it's very efficient, however, allowing the drain effect to work very, very quickly, hence the speed of his absorption-based counterattack.

I'm not saying Gaia is trying to crush him directly, rather harming him effectively using natural energy. And I do'nt think Gaia likes Muramasa, so it would also attempt to destroy it from within.

[AMimsyBorogove]

That's where the barriers come in. See, to reach Borogove, it'll have to bypass the reality-violating sword first due to all of the concepts set on it, mostly the void one. Because of that, however, the sword can leech off of Gaia's energy because it can only attack the sword a bit at a time, as described above.

As for it destroying Muramasa from the inside, that would work, except the sword isn't actually a part of reality, since it's rather a manifestation of Borogove's soul, which is disconnected from reality. Because of that, Gaia can't simply obliterate Muramasa as an abomination against nature, because it screws Gaia's rules and violates natural laws, both inside and out. Of course, Gaia could simply stop channeling energy into it, but it could still counterattack Gaia's infinite energy via Goliath, since he serves to connect Gaia and reality.

In short, Borogove's weapons aren't reality warping. Rather, they're Anti-Reality Warper class items, rendering divine intervention a moot point. At least, from Gaia. You'd need a multiverse-warper or a full-powered warper of nonexistence to directly attack his swords. As is, the only power that could directly effect them in this thread would be Sicon in his True Avatar form, because that essentially falls under the latter category.

We can still kill you while you hold the sword right?

[AMimsyBorogove]

Of course. People in reality can still effect Borogove just fine. But you can't warp reality to affect Borogove, if he has a well-prepared enough sword, essentially. Unless you're warping That Which is Not Reality, Destruction, All Realities, Souls, Boundaries, or something similar. In essence, you can reality-warp my swords if you're Flandre Scarlet, Shikieiki Yamaxanadu, Yukari Yakumo, or Sicon.

Uh, JR's latest post does not fit continuity.

Ok, he got precognition and guessed right that Eli went underground, so he flies out of the water spiral.
How can he fly at someone who is still underground and fire at it regardless?

Ahh crap i'll fix that

I can't necessarily fly as make the mana energy I manipulate fly me around.

JR, I think the main issue is that you are sending energy beams whirling at me... as I'm underground... with a water funnel on top of my hiding place.

[JRPictures]

It was a massive ball of energy, very powerful that it could attack underground.

[Scarab]

Nice start, Guyshane. I hope my response isn't too lo... *looks at Mimsy's posts...* never mind.
