I find solace in the fact that every chapter is one step closer to aqua being defeated.
You know, based on Flo's own observations, Nav seriously needs to talk to someone about how she feels. She constantly brings up past traumas as a way to deflect conversations and her mannerisms show that she is holding on to past baggage. I fear that due to this and her feelings regarding the mental and psychical changes she's undergone, Nav will eventually break down or explode.
I can definitely see all the elements with different European languages.
Water Elementals speaking some posh shit like French
Fire Elementals speaking in something aggressive like German
Air Elementals I can only imagine something in Northern Europe, like Swedish or Norwegian
Earth Elementals, I can't think of any language for them. Greek or Latin comes to mind, but not too sure.
Hopefully Nav gets a third ship out of this!
Oh man, that bunker is just like playing Xenoblade Chronicles for teh first time and I accidentally over leveld and didnt realise that the first boss had to beat you, instead slowly grinding a quarter of its HP ovre an hour an half. Just wonder if the game code wouldve waited till it was half HP then switch to actual boss mode instead of training boss mode?
Or if Id spent 6 hours grinding it down to 0HP, it would be stood there looking dumb or the game crash because a state was reached that never shouldve occured?
Good thing Taya with the amulet wasnt powerful enough to freeze the whole ship in one go. Then again, that would cause the vessle to destruct through embrittlement, stress shrinkage etc?
Or drag it to just over the ground and bisect the balloon? Means its a bit of repair but easier to do than chain shot shredding etc?

Earths could maybe be Russian or Ukrainian?
This is still continuing? I will have to catch up sometime. I remember being around where the gender stones broke and he was stuck as a girl while on a flying boat to someplace.
9442408
thats kind of everyone's fear, sure its entertaining but its like watching a car thats just about to blow something and burn everything around it to cinders, the inevitable aftermath deserves only pity
9442518
Hahah. Hope you have a few free weeks then, 'cause damn you still have a lot to go. I can barely remember the times Nav was a man
Nice chapter. Funny when Taya misunderstood Nav twice.
Redefine genocide.
Dis gon b gud
9442545
He never got that fixed? I see.
Can someone explain to me why we need the Elementals? I'm being honest. Do we absolutely 100% NEED them, or can Nav just kill them all already? I mean sure, they are useful some things, but holy fuck is the Negatives so much longer than the Positives.
I vote just keeping Flo, and killing all the rest of them.
I'm waiting for nav to run into someone who he tries to make feel awkward to stop a conversation to laugh at his misfortune , belittle his insignificant problems , and tell him to grow a pair. Then when he tells them to f off beats him around like a Naga with a blood feud till he mans/woman's up. I'm pretty sure alot of individuals in tarturus would love to be in his shoes. But for realsies he does need someone who understands what he's going through and has worked through some of the mental problems associated with it. Maybe hell run into someone like that in tarturus .... sorta like a brother figure. Hymn ... there are supposed to be alicorns in tarturus.... someone whose entire race is destroyed and has seen god knows what.
Next Time: Baller as hell battle.
Just need to wait 2-4 weeks.
I'm mildly concerned by the solars showing up with Shining.
9442408
Yep, and that's when the real fun begins.
I absolutely love this one, I have read it 4 times just for fun. I look forward to what is next, when you upload another round of text.
Damn, that golem sounds really cool. So did the ship. Given how long you've been writing, it shouldn't be surprising, but you certainly know how to keep things interesting at all times.
Should we be concerned that Shining Armor is in Day Guard armor instead of crystal empire armor?

Plot twist: aqua wins and the story finishes with a bad end.
9443048
While that would be hilarious, I do not think people would really like it. It would be a great gag ending though, or maybe like an alternate timeline kind of thing
9442675
The Water Elementals are not required, the same as Luna or Twilight, but they make a place for themselves with their abilities. The ability to deconstruct anything, hack into electronics, share detailed information instantly, passively heal wounds, prolong life, enable water breathing, read every single thing an assassin has ever thought or experienced, mind control someone and a million other abilities more than justify their existence on the ship.
The Fire Elementals can make their host regenerate entire lost limbs, are heavy hitters on par with the Naga Nav had earlier, can also communicate instantly, possess an intimidation factor greater than nearly anything else(Massive living flame charging straight at you would make anyone piss themselves in fear), are EXTREMELY experienced in war even more so than Luna and a few other things. Their abilities aren't as vast as the water abilities, but they are incredibly powerful.
The only air elemental we have seen has the ability to fly an earth pony with no effort, could direct any number of airships passively, also relay information, travel at the speed of the wind, observe anything unseen and probably have the ability to use their wind to slice through nearly anything like a laser beam. Again, these are very powerful abilities, not as diverse as the Waters' abilities, but they are exactly as acute as the Fire abilities.
If I had to guess, I would bet that the Earth elemental probably massively boosts the durability of their host and massively upgrades the capabilities of Earth Ponies. I'm guessing that AJ gets an Earth elemental because that would probably turn her into a one mare army.
All of that said, the Elementals are the only ones who actually have experience with fighting Discord. Celestia and Luna have experience dealing with him, but as we saw at the beginning of the story, they are literally playthings to him. Any leader who throws away the abilities we have seen in even a Water elemental is a terrible leader, but to kill off nearly a dozen of them? That's borderline retarded. To throw away the amazing scouting abilities of Aerie or the sheer power of the fires is also pretty stupid.

A lot happpens revolving about that. But you’ll have to read to find out. A LOT has happened.
9442889
Likewise, it makes me suspect that Aqua mayhaps be inside Shining as well.
9442638
Not for the lack of trying, I assure you.
I love these chapter update lengths. Not only are they relatively short, but they tend to be 10k words or more. Keep up the good work sir man sir.
Looks for patreon
-Sanity is overrated
Weird that Shiny shows up with day guards, but I guess they could be loyal to him or displaced by the mirror pool clones.
To be perfectly honest, this chapter felt like a huge slog. You've drawn out actually getting into the facility (and getting rid of Aqua, which makes that even more desirable) for so long that I spent this chapter struggling with a constant urge to skim-read.
Ok, I laughed at the chariots crashing into the magic wall. Mage combat is hilarious.
Also yay, artillery!

While those powers are interesting, again I'm not seeing any reason on why we 'NEED' to keep any of them around but Flo. After all, everything you just pointed out? They can be used AGAINST you as well. There is literally nothing keeping the Elementals in check, which is why Nav is in the situation he's in with Aqua.
Whats more, they didn't actually FIGHT against Discord, they fought against each other, then when Discord was bored, he trapped the remaining ones away. It's not like they actually stood against him, harmed him, defeated him in battle, or anything important. He can literally do anything he wanted, and negate any damage or ability he so chooses. The Elements of Harmony are the only thing shown to be a threat to him. So any 'Experience' the Elementals have is kinda moot.
And any benifits, is only useful if you can trust and control the Elementals, which Flo is the only truth worthy one. I mean look at them, Ice is pretty much a child who doesn't know anything, Aqua is slowly taking over thousands of beings to be her slave, even Flo has turned into a sassy bitch because of hanging out in Nav's head, and Twilight pointed out flaws in all the others.
Even in this chapter, Rain went into Luna's mind, and LIKED all her demented and fucked up thoughts about war, murder, and gore to fuel her dark spells. A being all about peace and protecting and guiding younger races LIKED being in Luna's head and her thoughts.
They are useful RIGHT NOW, because they are listening to Nav, but at any point in time, for any reason, they can decide. "You know what... Nah, lets take Nav, cause he's the last human, and kill everyone else while we fix him." And there would literally be nothing that anyone could do to stop them.
Case in point, this conversation that Nav does NOT want, but the water Elementals are going to FORCED him to have, with him having no ability to stop it from happening. A very innocent thing right now, but you can replace the situation with anything else and the end results is the same, "with him having no ability to stop it from happening".
He can't even stop one, Aqua, who has already probably infected everyone in Equestria by now. How is he going to stop ALL of them if they collectively deside he's just as bad as Discord, changing and killing the world and not helping it, and thus turn on him? After all, while he's done some good, and made some changes, he's also broken the peace and killed many many people, which is something the Elementals really don't like.
Man this last assault is gonna go great with the Ace Combat 7 Soundtrack.
Keep it coming! I can't wait for more!
Even though chances are we will have to wait like 20 days for the next chapter :(

i have been skim reading for the past 60 chapters
You know, i'm curious. With the latest chapter momentarily clarifying that Discord is a form of Magical Artificial Intelligence that stems from chaos, I can't help but wonder what kind of chaos he manifests from, as there are many different variations.
In Physics, chaos is explained through Thermodynamics. Chaos/Disorder is measured by entropy. Which if we are being technical, only increases in the universe/closed system. Though this form has more to do with states of matter than anything else, so it is probably unlikely.
Another idea stems from the unnatural beginnings of Discord. It's too early to decide if his creation was intentional of accidental, however as what was suggested, his origin revolves around Cain and the 'supposed' first murder. What's more, his existance is dependant on life, or at the very least some aspect of it, which makes me think rather than an avatar of chaos itself, he is a manifestation of conflict and change, which is one of the most prevalent aspects of life. It's all quite fascinating lore that Whatmustido created. I can't wait to see the outcome of all this, and whether anything Nav does has impact on Discord's plan, or if all of this is futile rebellion against the most powerful entity in the world.
I wonder if there is a nanite disabler in that bunker... like a field that just turns them off. Keeps meetings happening there confidential if the person involved (infected) gets captured/interrogated. I don't know if that kind of thing would work on elementals, though.
Sorry, just thinking out loud.
The tree beings likely mature before they lock into an adult form. Our smallest pony might still mature, as the tree being form is not fully understood. Also, if the laptop is avalible I am suprised noone is using it as now could be an interesting time to do so.

WILL AQUA EVER BE BEATEN?!
FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON!
DIARIES OF A MADMAN: AQUA DEFEATED
9443361
Or that Shiny got taken over by Aqua.
This was not a question. She did not ask, she said.
Oh, man, that was fun.
I think I realized why I like The Rising of the Shield Hero web novel so much. It reminds me a lot of this.
~KBO.
9442518
Oh boy are you in for a fun ride
Oh my god this story is long. I remember getting up around chapter 115 or so before calling it quits. Last thing i can clearly remember was when he went into the past to learn more about the humans whom had previously populated the planet.
9443926
maybe that's how Nav gets rid of Aqua?
9443449
Most of these are pretty good points..
Okay, this chapter is so awesome, in the grandest sense of the word. You, sir(?), have outdone yourself.
One more thing, I want an army of those golems. The self-repair alone could make it worth the trouble.
One more thing! Looks like Aqua's getting a bit too confident. She'll be exposed soon.
One more thing, couldn't Nav try corrupting her into an actual ally? He/She could also try getting her addicted to his/her personality. She'd do anything to preserve what he is, then.
I feel as if Aqua has been acting... more unstable... than usual, that is. Current thoughts on the matter lead me to believe she is undergoing some sort of rapid mental decay.
Perfect spot to end a chapter. The visualization is just a wee bit epic, and a freeze frame ending feels most appropriate.

The Elementals DID fight Discord. Brook for sure fought him. I'm pretty sure one of the Fires did. Not sure which one. Aerie is implied to have fought him but not been able to be entombed because wind. In fact, it's outright stated that Flo did NOT fight Discord but several of the other waters did.
Discord can negate literally anything up to and including time itself. The problem is that he doesn't want to rule. He doesn't want power or wealth or anything of that sort. He literally wants to die. In fact, as I recall, he created the Elements of Harmony to be used against him because he believes in giving his enemy a chance(That might actually be from a different story though). The earlier elements in the great war were created specifically to kill him. They nearly succeeded but shenanigans happened and he slipped the noose, likely accidentally.
As of right now, we can't trust ANYTHING. We can't trust what's being written at all as the truth. We can't even trust the diaries that Nav wrote before. Hell, the last 185 chapters could literally be Nav sifting through false memories as he's laying on the slab to reclaim his real memories. The only thing we can unambiguously trust is the intro where Discord is mind raping the Alicorns. Do we really want to get into the whole "we can't trust anyone but Flo" thing?
The Elementals are designed to protect and shepherd the "young races" and as far as we have seen, they are ALL doing that. Even the fire that was trapped in Pyrite was doing it, albeit in a backwards way. I think it was Brooke who ruled the monkeys? She was doing it there. The one who ruled Atlantis was doing it. With them being AI, the nearest thing I can compare it to is like when your PC has registry errors. None of the elementals have actually bugged out too badly with the ONLY exception being Aqua. She's like when you get a virus on your computer. The rest of them are probably not bad enough to actually worry about, but I'm guessing Aqua ends up getting reinstalled while in the bunker.
As for her controlling all of Equestria? There's a finite amount of water in their bodies. Unless you tell me that literally only a single nanite is required to infect someone, there IS a hard limit to the amount of hosts one Water elemental can have. Because reasons I'm not sure a Fire or Wind has any limit, but Waters absolutely have a hard limit on the amount of hosts they can have. It's also implied that it's not easy to fully control a host without flat out mind wiping them and if they are mind wiped, the nanite blob thing shows us that they lose access to all skills that the person had beyond what the blob already knew. As an example, if Luna were to be enslaved by the blob, as it currently sits, it would mind erase her to control her and then it loses all of that dark magic she has knowledge of.
As for the Elemental enjoying Luna's memories of fucked up things? That's easily down to personal choice. Just because you might enjoy watching comedy movies doesn't mean everyone else does. Likewise just because I like gorey movies doesn't mean that you should. In the same vein, the Elemental is gaining knowledge of magic that exists in the world and likely just enjoys seeing the pure power she can bring to bear in the same way as some people might enjoy watching documentaries about atomic bombs and seeing the sheer power of the bombs.

Agree, but I'd also deep six Flo. That kind of power is a huge danger to seemingly everybody but Discord, which is who they are fighting. Already seen that they can't be trusted so it's only a matter of time before another inevitable betrayal happens.
I'm getting super hype for this battle
