Another great chapter! Always a joy to read. It does seem a little cliché that he saves the CMC in the Forest but it was still entertaining.

Thanks! And yeah, I honestly have to agree. Like I said in the author's notes, I don't exactly like this chapter but I don't hate it. It's like Gerhardt's new eye, barely adequate.
i wonder if the nature spirits will escilate now that they know they can. especialy now that magical fitness is going to be more widespread
well, a rather good read sofar, and judging by the last three chapters' upload dates, a likely accelerated publishing rate, definitely worth the tracking
Good call on not doing a spell through the tether with the forest
spritegod.It's really not much of a banishment if someone from home keeps giving you a visit, and even more especially since Mechanicus is aware of scanning for magic and having a god pump magic to him from another universe would mean Gear would be able to effect his own transport back to home using it as a guide no matter how subtle the thread tethered around him was. That is to say, you don't bothering looking for something you don't know is there, but once you do know it's there it's just a matter of creating a precision tool to look for it. From there it would simply be a waiting game for Mechanicus to get back.

Please keep in mind the fact that if Gerhardt were to return, he would immediately be reinstated as high lord of the R&D branch and since the Human Kingdom has declared war on Silvanus he would then be well within his rights to kill Gerhardt on the spot. However, even if that were not the case Silvanus would just banish him again and again every time that he tried to return. Gerhardt realizes this, as he has stated in previous chapters. Thus even if he knew about the tether Silvanus has placed on his soul, he wouldn't try to use it to return. He would try to find a way to sever it, however, which Silvanus definitely would not want since he placed that tether on Gerhardt for a reason.
So your absolutely correct in that Silvanus shouldn't try to use the tether as a conduit, at least not unless he's being extremely subtle about it. However, the actions Gerhardt would take upon learning about it would be slightly different but no less disastrous for Silvanus.

No no, I was saying Silvanus shouldn't use the tether, and I'm also well aware what Mechanicus going back would mean ... IF he decided to declare war on Silvanus. What's more, certainly Mechanicus would not make a hasty move, but if a link is there, I don't see why a message couldn't be sent through it, maybe even to another god/des/s who might be able to bring harm and/or humiliation to Silvanus for abusing his power and finding out he hid it too without having to endanger any more human lives.

It's not really a matter of if Gerhardt would declare war, the Human Kingdom already has declared war regardless of Gerhardt’s wishes. That being said, what you claim is completely true.
I agree with you. Silvanus definitely should not use the tether like that unless he's doing it in such a way that Gerhardt’s sensors wouldn't detect it and that Gerhardt wouldn't immediately be aware of. So the giant storm in Ponyville and flooding Gerhardt’s mind with images would obviously be a no go. And you're right a message could indeed potentially be sent through the tether. I'll be completely honest I hadn't really thought of that possibility. So that’s yet another major reason why Silvanus wouldn't want Gerhardt to know about the tether.
Really enjoying the story, question though - how far in this story have you done some world-building for Gerhardt’s world?

It's scattered in here and there. For example the next chapter has a bit of world building.
There's no limit to being petty, is there? Honestly, if Silvanus would be this petty he'd got booted from mortals plain by higher gods (likely with a literal boot) long before he'd had a chance to give humans that troublesome knowledge. Nor he'd ever give it in the first place. Besides, considering he hates Gears he'd already sent some bs his way simply because he can. The fact that he didn't yet means he can't for whatever reason. Most likely because that would be considered as unprovoked attack by higher gods. While he was portrayed as an asshat he certainly wasn't portrayed as an idiot.

Then it's a very good thing I decided not to go with that. He is supposed to be an asshole, but not stupid.

I just noticed that his name is Silvanus. While likely completely unintentional and you were just looking for a fitting deity's name and it have entirely different meaning... it's surprisingly fitting.
Next major villain: King Sombra. Following that: Sunset Shimmer.
What if the forest are piss because the ponies stole the zap apples
