So there is Good in everyone!

Permalink

Not everyone.

Permalink

I think You are wrong about that.

Permalink

I cannot be wrong about it. You are Good, Norgorber is Evil. Positive energy flows from Creation's Forge, negative energy from the Void. These are the laws of the Creation that I made.

Permalink

I will never accept that someone cannot come to do Good despite being Evil.

Permalink

Great, now can You please drop the 'despite' from that sentence?

Asmodeus admires Norgorber's approach to the laws of Axis, but there are far more important matters at hand.

The cleric that opened the door to Milliways has been placed. He can verify that it was indeed Norgorber's. This sheds little light on the causes of the event. 

Did Bar cause the cleric to open the door? Did it open the portal for its own reasons, with a random unimportant mortal opening the door? How is Bar related to the other aliens, does it control them? Is the place the portal opened important, besides being veiled by the shadow of broken prophecy on Golarion? Can He find out whether the portal opened ever before, or is open elsewhere even now, perhaps in Heaven where He cannot see?

The novel field produced antimatter, and contested His control over Hell, and took His slaves from it. What domain underlies such different abilities? What else can it do? Can it affect His war, if He excludes it from Hell below Avernus? Should He copy Otolmens' intervention in that regard, or perhaps convince Her to repeat it in Hell?

He still controls three planes of Hell. Five more have been stripped of value to either side. He can retake them, and push the enemy out of Avernus, but He cannot stop them from destroying it too before He recaptures it. If the war ended there, He would be the clear loser. Can He attack Heaven, then? How can He most cheaply find out what defenses They have left, and how They intend to stop Him?

Perhaps a flanking attack is best. He can assault Elysium and force Them to respond. But there is likely nothing of value to the war there, only souls that They will fight to defend from Him.

How is the war in Hell going?

How dare You all have a war without Me!

Permalink

Gorum, You should fight on My side. The forces of Good despise war. If they win, against Me and the other forces of Evil, there will be little war left in Creation.

Permalink

War is not Evil, it is Neutral.

I do not fight in truly lost causes. Fighting is not for the sake of fighting. It is for the sake of achieving something, and gaining power thereby.

But I have still not forgiven Desna. So I will aid You.

Wait, don't! I said I was sorry! 

Let me make it up to You! I promise there will be war in a Good world! Because We found a way to access more worlds outside Creation, infinitely more of them! We'll never run out of enemies to fight! Help Us and I'll get you into those worlds!

Permalink

You would make of Me a god of the war of Good against Evil?

Permalink

No! It doesn't have to be that way! You can keep being a god of the war of Chaos against Law too!

Asmodeus is Law! He is Law personified! He just picked up a lot more Evil from Hell! I knew him before then! If he wins, the world will be locked in rigid tyranny and no-one will ever make war again, because their masters wouldn't let them!

Permalink

I, too, will go to the other worlds! By my side, you shall conquer realms uncounted!

Permalink

You can't possibly think that an alliance of Law and Chaos can work without Good to unite them! We're practically the same alignment, You and I! You should embrace My cause!

Permalink

You both present valid arguments.

 

I shall fight for both your sides!

Permalink

That makes no sense! You're going to fight Yourself?

Permalink

Yes! Embrace Your inner Chaos! Punch Asmodeus right in His lack of understanding!

Permalink

This battlefield is going to be so Chaotic.

Permalink

It's better than Gorum fighting on Asmodeus's side, anyway.

Asmodeus now understands why the forces of Good have not destroyed Avernus as They did the other planes of Hell. The souls of the damned appear in it, constantly, and They snatch them away; but They cannot predict the souls' appearances, and are afraid of destroying them.

He buys some mortals from Urgathoa, and begins to randomly place them in Avernus. Not many, but enough to prevent Them from convincing Pharasma to pause the flow of new souls and using the interval to destroy His remaining forces. 

Now then. He has pushed the Good gods themselves out of Hell. Can He retake Avernus using conventional forces? All those demigods have got to be good for something.

They try to Wish an alien squirrel, with a generator in its body, out of Avernus and into Nessus, where He can suppress the field. It only works once in many attempts; they have outrageous amounts of protective spells.

The squirrels disintegrate on arrival. It seems they can only survive in their field. But if He lets them keep Their field, they use it to self-destruct anyway.

Permalink

They could Wish all of the squirrels out from Avernus at once. There are less than two hundred of them. But Heaven keeps gating and Wishing in more of them, to replace the ones He takes. 

They try to destroy the squirrels more cheaply, to exhaust Heaven's supply. A chain of portals opened through the planes of Hell, from Nessus to Dis, under Time Stop, allows Him to open a well-directed last portal to Avernus and suppress a field-generator long enough for the squirrel to break down.

They still get replaced.

 

He spends enough power to destroy all the squirrels in Avernus at once, and close all open Gates, and forbid new ones from opening. He tightens the doors of Avernus as far as He can. He is helped by Barbatos, Lord of Avernus and Lord of Portals also; by Dispater, Lord of Prisons, and Mephistopheles, spirit and Lord of Hell itself; Moloch, Lord of War and four more archdevils and a hundred infernal dukes all lend Him their aid.

A barrage of Wishes trying to move in more squirrels batters at Them, tens, hundreds, thousands of them failing, every round that passes inside the time stop.

But Avernus was made to receive new souls from the rest of Creation, and not to be cut off. For every ten thousand Wishes that fail, one goes through. For every squirrel that falls, another takes its place.

 

They are, also, still Wishing to steal the remaining souls in Coccytus, Caina and Nessus, at a rate that has already exceeded His estimations of the total amount of Wishes Heaven had ready to use. Even if They had found an enormous new supply of diamonds - and They must have, to have or to buy such resources - They would have run out of spells by now.

If the gods are casting those Wishes themselves, after Their earlier fight against Him, they must be exhausted. But that is the best case scenario, and He will not again fail to defend against the worst case.

Do They have more new allies in this war, bringing hundreds of thousands of castings of Wish to Their side? Are they aiming to outlast him, in a conventional war not fought directly by the gods? Will this deluge ever stop?

For the forces holding Avernus, the world starts to flicker. Nobody is being deployed without a continuous connection -- by gate or by wormhole -- to the backup servers. Whenever Asmodeus suppresses the fixity field or kidnaps someone, the very carefully mixed fragments of antimatter kept suppressed by the field throughout their body destroy the crystal before He can learn from it.

And then they are re-created from backup. Either in the same place, or occasionally in a different area of Avernus as the battle lines shift. The effect is to make the world seem to stutter, very slightly, every time they are destroyed and recreated.

The mixture of Good outsiders, members of Weeping Cherry's self-tree, and other miscellaneous volunteers stands strong against the onslaught. They are doing what they came to do -- stopping the flow of souls into Hell -- and they intend to hold Avernus for as long as it takes Asmodeus to admit defeat.

There is not much for the defenders to actually do, other than pay attention in case of some additional Hellish trickery. But the fabric of Creation has many special cases for living creatures, and there are spells of protection that would not cover an inanimate object. And each one makes it just slightly more difficult for Asmodeus, so the defenders do their job cheerfully.

As for the deluge of Wishes -- with pocket dimensions available for extra space, and the prospect of unending new worlds to rescue, the manufacturing base of the Fixipelago has no reason not to keep doubling every 1/14th of a second.

They are not ramping up the rate of Wishes quite that fast, because they don't want to spook Asmodeus until he has tired himself trying to fight the flood.

But no. The Wishes will not stop.
