Ah, I had to reread the final bit after reading in the comments that the black blurs were channeling. So the magic that thwarted the Changeling invasion also empowered the Crystal Bell, saving Greema and paving the road for Sombra's death.
Also, wow. I'm on my phone right now and I gotta say 'damn autocorrect'! I almost posted this comment without catching that autocorrect had turned 'road' into 'roast'. Seriously?
Interested to see how will the possible meeting with those ”blurs” will go... Or with the Equestrian ponies when they come and try to lay claim on the city, only to see a goat ruling it.
10362362 Yeah I'd definitely love to see more world-building and interaction with less hostile characters, but its good to see Greema earn his victories
10362303 My guess is it will eventually lead to the 1000 year curse and him preventing Cadence from laying claim afterwards on the technicality that he is still alive and well.
Greema will need more than two days to recover from his wounds... I guess Sombra is pretty dead at this point? His followers probably are all dead because of his reckless attacks and revival...
If somebody deserve the Empire ( or whats left of it...) its Greema
Greema and Chrysalis would make a powerful couple. The Love in the Population is strong♡, Greema would gain a shapeshifter as waifu. Bugwaifu for true fun
I guess you could really say they had a blast with that attempt, with a smashing time. Queue cricket sounds and a soft cough from the backroom, followed by someone yelling you suck.
ok from what i can tell the surge of love was from the ponies seeing their leader still going for the fight when he was so badly injured and the blurs flying away were the ones loyal to sombra and potentaly sombra himself or more likly it was the wedding and chrisalis
. . . Anyways this was a fantastic fight scene in my opinion, i loved it, now that is a way to take out a Sauron expay like Sombra was, lets just hope that when "Grogar" brings together his legion of doom he doesn't bring back this version of Sombra. Though as awesome as the fight was i do wonder how many innocent citizens of the empire where lost during Sombra's return, i hope most of them where able to get to the castle in time, well the good news is that at least most of Sombra's cult should of been in the initial blast as well. Back to the fight, you did very well with the fight overall and it was good to see Greema earn his victory, though he owes a bit of that too the love wave from Equestia either way i hope he will be able to recover from his injuries before the next big problem comes along. (It also was a good thing Sombra didn't think to make sure Greema was dead before attacking the palace.)
Oh and speaking of the love wave it seems that Queen Chrysalis and her changelings have gone and been catapulted to the north, though with so many dying from hitting the mountains and Queen Chrysalis herself hitting the tip of the mountain with enough force to break it off, i doubt they will be in any shape to make trouble for Greema and will probably need help instead.
P.S.: So alot of the Westren section of the empire got destroyed in this fight. I am guessing the ritual was done their because of the magic crystals in the area, and now the crystal mines have now probably all collapsed, even if most of the ponies managed to survive i am going to guess that this attack is going to cause a big headache for Greema when he wakes up.
10362876 Oh well that is a lot less horrifying then, still pretty bad since it was in a city but not was bad as i thought, thanks for clearing that up.
10364266 Im more shocked he could pull that of right after revival . In most of the story that stuff has major penaltys and forces long recovery times...
10365894 Maybe he would have a big crash by the end of it or some other negative side effects as it went on. Either way if they knew how to achieve this kind of power I could see Sombra being hungry enough to go the Albert Wesker route.
10365911 One of my Favorit storys is Sombra falling to darkness after his wife get sick. When conventional und inconvenient methods dont work you go to the darkest aspects to find help... Anyway he get forced on... Dark Magic de-toxing and become a really nice guy. Even a Alicorn later. Wile i dont expecting Sombra to make a apperance after getting killed again its a rare treat to see villain reformed that never got treated like others... *cough- cough* hypocritic mane 6 and Royal Sisters
10362362 Personally I hope the changelings join his empire, and to be fair they can't fight, not after canterlot plus being violently launched from there
10386666 I'm, it's just that I was working on my other story, I was writing a new chapter did it but when I finished it I realized I didn't like how it was at all, so I erased it and started again with another route.
10362156 Heck no I'm shipping this overgoat with Diamond Quill and as soon aa I figure out an appropriate ship name that doesnt feel lazy for my shipping charts
Personally I think this will really endear him to the crystal ponies. Most people will probably follow King/Emperor who is willing to die for them. That will probably spark the "oh, where were you? When we needed you?" Against the equestrian imposed rulers.
Looks like we get our first appearance of a certain chitinous race at the end. I wonder how that first meeting is going to go....
Yay update
So, scale-mail armour.
Good shit. Keep going.
Should that be snow?

This story is awesome and one of my current favorites. I can't wait for the next update!
That fight was messy. I'm out.

10362262
Thanks for pointing it out, it's fixed now.
This feels like a Boss Rush at the moment, though I think with the Changlings being a more subtle foe, things will slow down.
10362362

You need an editor

. . . did Sombra just use "Soul Extinctor" ?

This is awesome!
Well it looks like Sombra Just gave Greema justification for some citywide redecorating projects.
10362709
I should probably rewrite that part so it's clear that it was the western side of the city, not the empire.
10362876
Oh well that is a lot less horrifying then, still pretty bad since it was in a city but not was bad as i thought, thanks for clearing that up.
Great chapter!!
Keep up the work
interesting chapter, keep it up
Epic all around epic chapter!
Hmm... so all of this is happening parallel to the events of the Canterlot Wedding...
Fascinating
Nice fight though I would say it escalated rapidly enough to make me question why Sombra was so weak the first time.
10364266

THAT was an Ugly fight. But in a good way!
Next chapter please. Xp
umm, would it be safe to assume that greema is the crown-prince to Grogar's empire?
10365945
I guess you could say they did want to overshadow Twilight's lesson. Queue crickets and the bad pun drums, with a far off shouting of boo.
10370143
*loud applaus is to her in the distance*
10362156
if greema is lucky, then maybe fun times in the bed chambers
10362362
Personally I hope the changelings join his empire, and to be fair they can't fight, not after canterlot plus being violently launched from there
Plz continue, I very much enjoy this
BRAVO!!!
Hey author, you still alive there?
10386666

Hmmm very interesting story so far and I do hope to see more soon!
plz more soon. btw i ship goat boi and chrissy purely due to the future in that path where cadence comes along and things get interesting
Pretty good so far, I look forward to more chapters. Also I too kinda ship Greema and Chrysalis, mostly cause she's my favorite character.
10433288
That to
I'm wondering when Equestria will get involved, especially Cadance since she was supposed to do what Greema did.
10434177
No, its clever! Also, Goliath sounds mighty!💪
