(1) Shadow being dead makes me so sad. The more that fact is pronounced the more it hurts.
Even the alien ship is sad about her death!
(2) So what, does her soul now belong to Mortis since I think I remember him saying something along those lines? Or did he just say that Shadow's death was certain?
(3) Equinox and Viscera being in the same room makes me nervous. ._.
Hopefully they just talk with each other and they don't cause havoc.
Damn, so thanks to the Necronomicon Viscera has insight to everyone's dark wishes to pull the strings with?
Wonder who Equinox would've been if she hadn't been made to who she is. Definitely a much better person to everyone, that's for sure.
(4) Ah shoot, Viscera is trying to break them out. She's playing the long game like Omen, using Shadow's death as a distraction is so rude. >:I
Hopefully they don't crash the ship or something.
(5) Oh dear, Sombra is going to try and convert Cerise to his side. Poor Cerise though, she's going through so much trauma and now she might have to endure even more!
Though I do like the way PoW Sombra and Cerise interact even though Sombra has evil intentions.
Like how do I say this, he's evil, but at the same time he's just following his own compass that the strong dominate the weak. He's being nice to Cerise because he recognizes his own blood within her but at the same time he’s going beyond her boundaries. At least he immediately gave her something to wear after taking away her current clothing.
Though with the way he's talking, I wonder if he's going to still be on Chrysalis's side when things are over, cause it sounds like Sombra would rather make a queen out of Cerise while dominating Chrysalis and taking over everything.
(6) Yeah it is sad that there's still many that are suffering. Hate to imagine what happened to the males that were captured as well.
(7) Ah, so just like Midnight, Cerise was screwed over by the Chrysalis in her own world. Oof.
(8) Yeah, the tension between Sombra and Chrysalis thanks to Cerise can be felt. Interesting how Cerise can hear Omen's voice through Sombra / Penumbra. Did Omen traumatize her that much or is he actually speaking sometimes?
(9) Sombra would probably still call Midnight trash even if he was decent, had control of his Hyper side, or simply had no Hyper side.
(10) Yeah, Cerise probably might cause Chrysalis and Sombra to split apart, and it’s clear that Sombra wants to use Chrysalis for his own gain by dominating her in bed.
Speaking of bed, damn! Sombra definitely knows how to dominate Chrysalis! Unfortunately it seems Cerise has to watch.
(11) So Omen is actually talking into Cerise’s mind? Well I guess given the trauma he probably has a strong foothold into her mind.
(12) Ah!? Trixie, what the hell are you doing!?
(13) Yeah, Sombra is crazy -.-
Still, I like his character, and would like to see more of him!
(14) And meanwhile Cerise is starting to struggle with these feelings and thoughts. Hopefully she can stay on the right side of the path!
(15) Oh shoot, Sombra has his original horn back!? Oh dear, wonder what will happen to Penumbra’s body when Sombra decides to attach it to him. Hopefully it’ll just mean that Penumbra will now become a pegacorn when he eventually breaks free.
But well that’s the thing, because adding the horn will most likely tighten Sombra’s control over Penumbra, or worse damage Penumbra’s soul with dark magic.
(16) I can’t help but feel that while Cerise being out of her coffin would hurt Sombra and Chrysalis plans as they will begin fighting each other, at the same time that might be Omen’s plan in the first place! Hopefully it’s the former case, where Sombra and Chrysalis quarrel leads them to attack each other and that Cerise managed to keep herself from falling into darkness.
Since she’s in the hive though, I wonder if she’ll be able to meet Snowy, even just briefly.
(17) Ah, a Midnight dream? Interesting. Yeah both he and his world got screwed over as of lately. And maybe there’s still more screwing over left to happen!
But for now at least he can interact with his dream version of Oona, who for some reason is carrying a sword??? Excalibur / Vorpal Blade itself?
He’s walking on water!? IS HE JESUS!? XD Everyone is walking on water!
Ok, another thing to notice is that he was returned to his normal self, while his previous dream had him carry the same age he had at that moment (albeit Omen soon sped that up by turning it into a nightmare)
My current interpretation is that he subconsciously wants to have been the hero, to carry the team and protect everyone. To be worthy, to be knighted, to be loved. And as of now that feels like a far reality.
(18) Of course by father this means Shining Armor not Thunder Storm, who ain’t his father in this reality.
“Breed me so that I can birth the spirt that would take Excalibur’s true form” yeah that sounds a lot like the Lightendark prophecy in some shape or form.
Midnight! Snap back to reality, you aren’t the main character! XD
(19) Though to be honest, a solo story between Oona and Midnight could be interesting, but at the same time they have had sex now twice. Still, potential story idea that could be done (if I ever had time lol, Lightendark project #1 priority), maybe with the OG Midnight or some variant separate from Lightendark.
(20) Yet again though, Midnight can’t suppress his desire to claim a mare. He’s probably damaged his soul even more now! And of course he gets punished as Oona is replaced with Chrysalis and the dream turns into a nightmare.
Sad for Midnight, will he never rest until his death comes?
(21) Well at least he can now talk with Eclipsed, Cerise’s alt character from the Cyberverse. Unfortunately not only is he still getting turned on by her appearance, unable to stop his mind from thinking lewd thoughts, the fact that his ring slipped off is another sad detail.
Bruh, he can’t even look at a mare before his life gets cut down by another year!
Oof, he can’t even escape any criticism either. They all think very lowly of him which is not without its merit, he screwed up many times now. At least Eclipsed is trying to defend him and while Dion is disappointed he does also recognize that this is a problem shared by the Twins.
Also Beatrix is under fire as well since she is scared about losing her connection to the Necronomicon at this crucial time where she thinks she can only win with her Demiurge. Guess they share that.
But again, he literally almost tried to fuck a mare after the news of Shadow’s death arrived. So there’s that as well.
(22) Oh cool they can cure Midnight!
…
Yeah he should probably commit sudoku while he can. I guess Moxxi after seeing Shadow die is probably pissed at the idea of Midnight still wanting to fuck mares. Like, even when they first met each other again she was joking about sending him to horny jail. This is… damn.
Poor Midnight, even when he just wants to be normal they’re making fun of his fate. Just kill him already Nota, he’s been ruined by all that’s happened (within story, I am laughing alongside these characters even though I probably would prefer things to have been much easier for Midnight, but this is the Lightendark series after all)!
Stop bonking Midnight in the head lol, I feel bad for him.
(23) However, I do have something to say about the Necronomicon being destroyed. Sure it might reverse Midnight’s aging, but depending on many things, this might be a bad thing. Like, a really bad thing.
Omen has been playing the longest game of chess in history. He’s pre moving like Hikaru against Magnus! Who’s to say that destroying the Necronomicon isn’t part of his plan?
Ok, ignoring the Omen’s plan thing, I’ll explain that later, first off there is no guarantee that destroying the book would reverse the changes done onto his timeline. It might be how Beatrix fears, she completely loses all of her magic and renders her unable to defend her world without any real benefit.
But let’s say that they do cause Midnight’s age to be reversed as any effect that Beatrix did on his timeline were reversed. Well, are they not realizing that every timeline she has gone to has been affected in some way, shape, or form? Everyone from Cerise, Shadow, Zeloph, Midnight, Lightning, their entire lives might get rewritten!
If Midnight’s age is returned, then Lightning might end up vanishing from existence! Lightning canonically dies in almost all of Midnight’s worlds. She was already dead before the Lightendark Reset occurred! If they reverse Midnight’s aging, they reverse Lightning’s current state of being alive! They’ll unalive her!
If a true reverse of all of Beatrix’s actions were to be done, yeah Beatrix’s world can’t be destroyed by three Necronomicon wars, but what about Moxxi who sealed Zeloph inside of the Necronomicon? Does destroying one instance of the Necronomicon destroys all instances of it? Does Zeloph just kill Moxxi in a universe without the Necronomicon?
Shadow might be alive again but would remain as an evil without a Beatrix to contain! Villains might never be able to get a hold of the book but that never stopped Sombra for being evil for example.
Ignoring these bad timeline examples (they’re extremes as they assume all of Beatrix’s actions would be undone), the main issue, and this is where I’m worried that this is Omen’s plan, is that upon destroying the Necronomicon, if Midnight’s world gets reset so that Midnight can get his lifespan returned…
… then what’s going to happen to all of those living inside of it as well to all of the worlds being connected to it?
The cosmic storm isn’t being caused by the Necronomicon, at least that’s what the characters are currently thinking. And let’s say that’s true. But by shaping Midnight’s world, which is the center of all the other timelines, it might end up erasing everything! Destroying everyone or causing the dimensional madness to become even worse as Midnight’s dimension becomes even more corrupted!
Here’s my current interpretation of things.
The absolute best case scenario: Beatrix keeps her magic, it’s now within her, Midnight not only has his age reversed but has a body that can handle an Onoma, his cock size is still well-endowed as mentioned in Paradise, who knows maybe it was even bigger before the shift in timeline when things weren’t as defined lol. This throws a wrench into Omen’s plan, etc etc etc.
The absolute worse: The entire timeline collapses as Midnight’s world is once again reset, causing things to become even more dire. If destroying the Necronomicon won’t necessarily fix the dimensional shift, then destroying it might make it worse.
Lilith said that Shadow would remain alive but well she’s dead. Who’s to say that her comment that they’d be able to come back to Midnight’s world ends up being proven wrong as the destruction of the Necronomicon results in the timeline getting worse?
Speculating too much, I know it sounds outlandish, but this is from my point of view. And either way, if they reset the timeline to reduce Midnight’s age, then there was no point of the Hyper Stallion pill and Midnight’s embarrassment. In fact, if the worst does happen, it might be the last thing their current selves will be able to remember…
Perhaps this is a way to say goodbye to Lightendark? Everything that Beatrix has done gets reversed? A new world and story is written. To Beatrix and the others, their story might end with the entire timeline coming to a halt, everything becoming too corrupted and all dimensions falling. But for the new Beatrix and her friends that now live without the Necronomicon, peace might be achieved…
Yeah no, the old Shadow and Zeloph, the Burning King, Omen, and so many others might still end up burning the entire world to the ground.
Idk why I took this dark approach to what could happen with the Necronomicon’s destruction, but I wanted to see just how bad things could be if the worst did happen. I remain tentatively hopeful, but I have a strong feeling that something close to the worst will happen.
(24) I feel like I’ve used so much energy writing #23… So while I have read the rest of the story, idk what to comment.
But I’m happy that Chezka and Moon Hammer bonded a bit.
(25) Bruh, Fiery’s soldiers have low IQ, I guess now the minotaurs can get some payback.
(26) Why would Shining and Marathyssa be placed under house arrest??? Fiery probably should be in that place! Either way, I’m happy that Marathyssa wants to make Shining happy, seeing him as a noble stallion that has been trapped by his past. To become any mare for Shining until eventually Shining fucks her in her true self.
I love this scene. This is so wholesome.
(27) Ah, so Fiery’s soldiers are running amok doing whatever they want? And Fiery is now being distracted? I guess with his own thoughts. But either way, they’re just going wild, especially since they made their own camp and contracted some prostitutes.
Donkies? Reminds me of Shining Force 2
I have a bad feeling about this- Ah yeah, the entire platoon is dead.
Wonder what Fiery will do once he finally gains a grasp of things. Though the comment by Tree that he and Chrysalis aren’t that different probably is true.
Anyways, I loved this chapter. I wonder what will happen once the Necronomicon gets destroyed. Because while I found everyone’s treatment of Midnight to be both funny and rude (towards him, but still funny), I worry a lot about the fate of the universe when they do decide to break the Necronomicon.
Especially if this ends up costing Lightning and everyone else’s lives.
Who knows, maybe breaking the Necronomicon might change everyone’s lives in the past for the better, but for the prime version of Beatrix, they all just die and Omen gets his universe filled with nothing before everything is reset thanks to the fact that Midnight’s dimension is tied to every single other dimension for now. It’s a dangerous gamble to destroy the Necronomicon with the cosmic storm active.
90% chance that upon Necronomicon's destruction, Lightning Spark suddenly says "Mr Stark... I don't feel so good..."
I think some might have caught on to Folklore's rump with the Manor Twins. That said love Merry getting used to bizarre state of things in an Erotic Hentai universe like this. She may be hot but the degeneracy around her is basically beyond what she can fathom.
Shinning Armor getting to be with Marathyssa is both an annoyance (She deserves so much better than him at this point in his life.) but also a welcome sight. Shinning should have really considered remarrying even if it was more out of convenience than love early during the war.
Would have spared a ton of ponies a lot of grief.
The Cult of Nemesis using traveling prostitutes and that Tree Hugger is the figurehead is brilliant but at the same time I feel bad. Tree Hugger is a stoner easy vibes gal. If anything Scrying might have been a great prospect for her in another timeline.
11603213 2. We'll see what happened to Shadow Scythe's soul eventually...
4. Lightning wanted to bring out Equinox's softer side, sadly it didn't work.
5-16. Writing Cerise interacting with Sombra and Chrysalis is something I've look forward to! They're my favorite canon villains, and yes, Penumbra will likely be permanently affected by Sombra's actions...
17. Indeed, Midnight has a hero complex like his father!
25. Tired, angry, and horny soldiers...a bad combo when tensions are already high! But I figure people on both sides were just looking for an excuse to fight.
26. Well, Shining was already taken prisoner by Moon Hammer, while Fiery is in a tentative alliance with the minotaurs. Marathyssa went willingly to be with Shining and keep the peace. Trying to place Fiery under house arrest would've reignited the conflict for sure!
11603247 Lol, yes loved writing Merry's scenes, one of the many highlights this chapter! Hopefully she and Arcanum won't end up degenerates themselves from all the bad influences around them!
Indeed, Shining wallowing in grief made things worse for everyone, himself included, but Marathyssa sees who he could be deep down.
Yep, Treehugger's role is one of many callbacks to Beatrix's first proper story, Shining's Force 2; you could see parts of this as a far more polished and developed remake of her old series. A shame yet another old friend has fallen victim to the meddling of the puppeteer...
(4) Yeah, I know. And of course, Equinox got wrecked by Viscera in UaR's ending.
(5-16) Oh no for Penumbra! Yeah, having Sombra's horn attached will probably mess up his body a lot. But at least we'll be able to see more of Cerise, Sombra, and Chrysalis. Maybe Cerise might bump into Snowy?
(17) Yeah, sad that Midnight has to go through everything.
(25) Yep.
(26) Ah, true. Fiery wasn't beaten by Moon Hammer after all while Shining was a prisoner. At least Shining is improving.
11603292 If the Necronomicon was truly destroyed and all actions done with it were to be reverted, then potentially everyone in the present will die but at least Beatrix will be able to live a normal life with Flurry Heart and the others while Midnight would be free.
Maybe Beatrix does find a way to travel without the Necronomicon to other worlds. Instead of the FIrst and Second Necronomicon Wars, Beatrix experiments with magic upon wanting to expand her travels, and together with Flurry Heart they drop by into Cerise's world or something.
Though eventually, they'll need to get strong as powerful foes like Shadow and Zeloph would still rise as usual. I wonder how Moxxi would be able to deal with Zeloph if she has no Necronomicon to kick him into? Does one of them end up killing the other? That's such a sad thought!
Beatrix's journey though might end up finishing if she faces Shadow and gets killed in the same way. However that's assuming that she just continuously jumps from dimension to dimension as usual. If she were to take a more steady approach she might be able to accumulate more and more magic over time. Though eventually age might catch up to her but if she encounters the Spike Lord series she can probably become temporarily immortal.
No Demiurge means she can be knocked up though so she might end up finishing her journey earlier, or maybe not. The Lightendark Prophecy can't happen though so Omen is still stuck in his plane of existence. The Burning King though might have an easier time, depending on how much preparation Beatrix has.
Maybe she can still be lucky to get an Onoma after encounter Nota's side of the dimension aka Oona, Zeloph, etc.
11603303 Answering something you brought up earlier, I agree this Sombra wouldn't approve of Midnight even without his failings, as he believes Cerise is submitting to someone far below her royal status.
And on that note, Sombra of course has to play Chrysalis carefully since she has the advantage...but Cerise has indeed caused a rift between them!
11603322 Yeah, Cerise might end up causing the alliance between Sombra and Chrysalis to tear apart. Hopefully, it won't be at the expense of her own free will or something.
11603213 5) Before the introduction of my characters and lore, I used to be the main writer for Sombra in a few of Sharaz earlier works. Been while since I got to right him as the tyrannical megalomaniac he is. Feels nice 8)/11) Not to give too much away, but it’s a part of his Onoma’s power. He’s not technically there to torment her, but her fear of being a failure is manifested through his visage. 19) This particular dream is rather important as it gives a way a few key things that’ll show up later. One of them is eluded by a line Oona says. 23) Midnight’s world isn’t the center of the multiverse. There’s another place that, if destroyed, would be the end of all things. But yes, the Necronomicon’s destruction would play into Omen’s favor, nonetheless.
(8/11) In short, the trauma that Omen inflicted while she was trapped allows him to indirectly attack her even while she's awake due to that fear of failing.
(19) Wait, there's more stuff hidden in the dream? Alright, guess I'll have to analyze that. Give me a moment.
(23) Oh, his world isn't the center of the multiverse? I thought we said multiple times that Midnight's world falling would cause a chain reaction that results in every timeline falling. After all, so many worlds are connected to his world that it seemed that yeah, his world was at least a very important pillar.
What place would that be? Oona's world because she carries the child of Lightendark, Abadonna?
(1) Abadonna sounds like Abandon now that I think about it. It never clicked because I always referred to her as Aba much like how I refer to Moxxi as Ana sometimes.
Wait…
Abaddon means a place of destruction.
._.
Like I know that Aba ended up causing the Burning King to be released in Lightendark, but what if her name still holds significance?
What if Oona's world is yet another important pillar? Maybe not the trigger to destroy the multiverse but if it falls then that means the villains can take Aba for themselves.
And you know how strong she is. They might sacrifice her or something, absorb her power into themselves or something. Idk.
(2) But either way destroying the Necronomicon is a bad idea right? Because I feel it would still destabilize Midnight's world or at least affect it and those currently in it.
There's a lot characters here that aren't supposed to be alive at this point or didn't even exist prior to Beatrix's interference (Snowy, Lightning, maybe even Marathyssa and Deinos) and others whose lives would be so affected by the outcome of Beatrix's wish that they might as well become different people (Midnight, Moonlight, Shining, Chrysalis, Sombra and Fiery)
If the Necronomicon were to be destroyed and the changes done onto Midnight's world were reversed to one of its previous iterations then while the Mi Goh power might be undone (this is a change not caused by Beatrix so who knows), so many heroes would instantly fall.
Not to mention that Beatrix's fear might be true and she loses all of her powers, rendering her fully unable to stop the attack on Oona's homeworld.
Of course they can try destroying it later but it might end up teleporting before that happens so they have to make a decision now.
11603405 (1) Ok I studied the dream and I feel that this might've been yet another nightmare caused by Omen as the ending did say that Oona was standing next to a familiar figure. Which would probably be Omen in this case.
(2) I guess Shining did end up having sex with Marathyssa, though it was more wholesome of course
(3) Oona can't transform into the dark faun she briefly took on during Midnight's dream right?? At the same time though she secretly has four horns.
(4) There's only one line that Oona says that interest me.
"Breed me so that Ah may birth th' spirit that will take Excalibur's true form.”
Is Aba supposed to wield the Vorpal Blade eventually? Well if Zeloph who represents the light has been able to somewhat use it, maybe that can be true for Aba in the future?
(5) Are there more I should be looking at? The crucified forms? The blood? I'm bad at symbolism lol.
11603586 1) Correct. 3) Incorrect. The form she took in the dream is not a transformation. 4) That’s not the line I was referring to, nor is the statement true. 5) The location at the very end of the dream is highly significant. But the fantasy before that’s as just a means to sucker Midnight in.
11603646 (1)) Ah, bruh, Omen , stop bullying Midnight as well! XD
Midnight is like a piñata at this point.
(3) Yeah that's what I said she can't transform into that form. The only thing potentially linking the two would be the fact that yeah does she does have four horns, but she hides the other pair.
(4) Yeah I kind of had a feeling the statement of Aba was a very stretched theory.
There's only so many lines so let me try again.
What, is flesh reborn the line?
Cause here's my view of the lines right now.
Midnight being called Sir Knight is part of Midnight's fantasy.
The father that passed the test as Paladin is just a reference to Shining.
Midnight is not worthy of Excalibur, another fantasy.
Dream Oona is just asking to get fucked by Midnight
Flesh reborn is just part of the fantasy. Probably.
Make me fat with a thousand young and the other lewd things that Oona says are well just lewd talk.
Then Oona becomes Chrysalis, so idk if what she says counts.
Chrysalis basically accomplishes her goal of changeling Hyper Stallion hybrids. What is that meant to become true in the future? Say Fiery manages to get the DNA, injects Midnight, Midnight gets captured by Chrysalis and then that occurs?
Everything Chrysalis says doesn't feel to contain any real implications outside of toying with Midnight.
So idk what line do you mean at all. They feel just tied to the dream.
So good job, you stumped the theorist for now. Maybe I'll come up with something later. Nothing really shouted 'lore' within the text. Except maybe flesh reborn and Excalibur.
(5) Ah, the fact that it's the verdant version of Midnight's world and that it then reminds Midnight of the Paradise World where his adventure with Beatrix began to take shape?
I thought about including it within the previous comment but idk what to make out of it either.
Because the Paradise World was made from the death of the Smooze, at least that's what Sharaz told me.
Is the Paradise World supposed to get corrupted and fall apart?
Actually now thinking about it that's where so many of the OCs came from, so maybe it's actually the center of the multiverse since it was the first plane to pull OCs from their homeworld.
(Extra Point) Maybe the Paradise World will be Midnight's resting place, since Oona and Chrysalis remark how they fuck him until his heart expires and then Midnight gets dragged down. So maybe there's also that line.
Another way the Paradise Works could be important?
11603732 (1)) Yeah I got nothing. Though I do notice that Oona calls him both Sir Midnight Blitzer and Sir Knight. Any significance in that?
(2) Welcome home… Yet the environment belongs to the Paradise World? Not to mention that Oona says that she brought him to a warm place for him to devolve and ultimately die?
The Paradise World can't possibly belong or have become his origin world, right? But at the same time Midnight identifies this place as a verdant version of his world, untouched by war!
11603751 My god. I literally have a list of every line that both Oona and Chrysalis says and I can't find anything XD Are you saying nope to the fact that they're outright wrong or nope that they are right but not the main focus of the line?
I can't find anything lmao. Let me try and use the most outlandish theory for each line lol.
(1)) Midnight, if he was to become worthy, would be able to wield the Excalibur.
UHM, no? XD
(2) The Paradise World was his home before the war
Already rejected
(3) The father is of course Shining Armor, it can't possibly be Thunder Storm eh??
(4) Midnight somehow has to heal his soul through sex?
(5) Don't think Midnight and Oona are going to have sex IRL any time soon to make the offspring worthy of Excalibur lol.
(6) Sir Knight is another name for Midnight I guess…
(7) Flesh reborn, but that's referring to Oona and it's just a fantasy. But maybe could parallel how he was remade to become Lightendark Midnight?
(8) Idk what to say about the thousand young, and the other two lewd lines are just lewd lines.
(9) This is the other part of the idea that Paradise is his home theory. Been proven false. Maybe instead Midnight is meant to die in that plane.
(10) Maybe Midnight does get captured by Chrysalis.
(11) Chrysalis just explaining what changelings can do. Maybe though Midnight does still end up losing control and he tries to fuck everyone. But his Hyper gene is being taken care of by Deinos and Moxxi.
*Piñata sounds*
(12) Maybe Midnight might actually get some more half siblings from Marathyssa and Shining.
Are you sure this is something Oona says directly as a line of dialogue?
11603848 Then I take it as a yes? Just because it might be about her doesn't mean I know what exactly it would be about.
But if I were to take a guess, it either will be related to the fact that Oona is standing next to a familiar figure (Omen, which shows his growing control over her fate) or maybe the flesh reborn line, though that part is a stretch still.
But again that's the only line where she refers to herself, and all my guesses relating to Midnight have not worked.
Either way, Omen potentially standing next to her (and well he likes bullying Midnight in his dream lol) is something that can't be ignored.
You two really broke a new record with word lenght
11602701
Yeah it's impressive at this point
11602701
Yep, now my longest story!
11602741
Mhm
11602724
Indeed
11602701
If we had posted the story as one without any edits, the maximum amount of words would have been over 32K. Definitely a new record!
11602835
oh dear
(1) Shadow being dead makes me so sad. The more that fact is pronounced the more it hurts.
Even the alien ship is sad about her death!
(2) So what, does her soul now belong to Mortis since I think I remember him saying something along those lines? Or did he just say that Shadow's death was certain?
(3) Equinox and Viscera being in the same room makes me nervous. ._.
Hopefully they just talk with each other and they don't cause havoc.
Damn, so thanks to the Necronomicon Viscera has insight to everyone's dark wishes to pull the strings with?
Wonder who Equinox would've been if she hadn't been made to who she is. Definitely a much better person to everyone, that's for sure.
(4) Ah shoot, Viscera is trying to break them out. She's playing the long game like Omen, using Shadow's death as a distraction is so rude. >:I
Hopefully they don't crash the ship or something.
(5) Oh dear, Sombra is going to try and convert Cerise to his side. Poor Cerise though, she's going through so much trauma and now she might have to endure even more!
Though I do like the way PoW Sombra and Cerise interact even though Sombra has evil intentions.
Like how do I say this, he's evil, but at the same time he's just following his own compass that the strong dominate the weak. He's being nice to Cerise because he recognizes his own blood within her but at the same time he’s going beyond her boundaries. At least he immediately gave her something to wear after taking away her current clothing.
Though with the way he's talking, I wonder if he's going to still be on Chrysalis's side when things are over, cause it sounds like Sombra would rather make a queen out of Cerise while dominating Chrysalis and taking over everything.
(6) Yeah it is sad that there's still many that are suffering. Hate to imagine what happened to the males that were captured as well.
(7) Ah, so just like Midnight, Cerise was screwed over by the Chrysalis in her own world. Oof.
(8) Yeah, the tension between Sombra and Chrysalis thanks to Cerise can be felt. Interesting how Cerise can hear Omen's voice through Sombra / Penumbra. Did Omen traumatize her that much or is he actually speaking sometimes?
(9) Sombra would probably still call Midnight trash even if he was decent, had control of his Hyper side, or simply had no Hyper side.
(10) Yeah, Cerise probably might cause Chrysalis and Sombra to split apart, and it’s clear that Sombra wants to use Chrysalis for his own gain by dominating her in bed.
Speaking of bed, damn! Sombra definitely knows how to dominate Chrysalis! Unfortunately it seems Cerise has to watch.
(11) So Omen is actually talking into Cerise’s mind? Well I guess given the trauma he probably has a strong foothold into her mind.
(12) Ah!? Trixie, what the hell are you doing!?
(13) Yeah, Sombra is crazy -.-
Still, I like his character, and would like to see more of him!
(14) And meanwhile Cerise is starting to struggle with these feelings and thoughts. Hopefully she can stay on the right side of the path!
(15) Oh shoot, Sombra has his original horn back!? Oh dear, wonder what will happen to Penumbra’s body when Sombra decides to attach it to him. Hopefully it’ll just mean that Penumbra will now become a pegacorn when he eventually breaks free.
But well that’s the thing, because adding the horn will most likely tighten Sombra’s control over Penumbra, or worse damage Penumbra’s soul with dark magic.
(16) I can’t help but feel that while Cerise being out of her coffin would hurt Sombra and Chrysalis plans as they will begin fighting each other, at the same time that might be Omen’s plan in the first place! Hopefully it’s the former case, where Sombra and Chrysalis quarrel leads them to attack each other and that Cerise managed to keep herself from falling into darkness.
Since she’s in the hive though, I wonder if she’ll be able to meet Snowy, even just briefly.
(17) Ah, a Midnight dream? Interesting.
Yeah both he and his world got screwed over as of lately. And maybe there’s still more screwing over left to happen!
But for now at least he can interact with his dream version of Oona, who for some reason is carrying a sword??? Excalibur / Vorpal Blade itself?
He’s walking on water!? IS HE JESUS!? XD Everyone is walking on water!
Ok, another thing to notice is that he was returned to his normal self, while his previous dream had him carry the same age he had at that moment (albeit Omen soon sped that up by turning it into a nightmare)
My current interpretation is that he subconsciously wants to have been the hero, to carry the team and protect everyone. To be worthy, to be knighted, to be loved. And as of now that feels like a far reality.
(18) Of course by father this means Shining Armor not Thunder Storm, who ain’t his father in this reality.
“Breed me so that I can birth the spirt that would take Excalibur’s true form” yeah that sounds a lot like the Lightendark prophecy in some shape or form.
Midnight! Snap back to reality, you aren’t the main character! XD
(19) Though to be honest, a solo story between Oona and Midnight could be interesting, but at the same time they have had sex now twice. Still, potential story idea that could be done (if I ever had time lol, Lightendark project #1 priority), maybe with the OG Midnight or some variant separate from Lightendark.
(20) Yet again though, Midnight can’t suppress his desire to claim a mare. He’s probably damaged his soul even more now! And of course he gets punished as Oona is replaced with Chrysalis and the dream turns into a nightmare.
Sad for Midnight, will he never rest until his death comes?
(21) Well at least he can now talk with Eclipsed, Cerise’s alt character from the Cyberverse. Unfortunately not only is he still getting turned on by her appearance, unable to stop his mind from thinking lewd thoughts, the fact that his ring slipped off is another sad detail.
Bruh, he can’t even look at a mare before his life gets cut down by another year!
Oof, he can’t even escape any criticism either. They all think very lowly of him which is not without its merit, he screwed up many times now. At least Eclipsed is trying to defend him and while Dion is disappointed he does also recognize that this is a problem shared by the Twins.
Also Beatrix is under fire as well since she is scared about losing her connection to the Necronomicon at this crucial time where she thinks she can only win with her Demiurge. Guess they share that.
But again, he literally almost tried to fuck a mare after the news of Shadow’s death arrived. So there’s that as well.
(22) Oh cool they can cure Midnight!
…
Yeah he should probably commit sudoku while he can. I guess Moxxi after seeing Shadow die is probably pissed at the idea of Midnight still wanting to fuck mares. Like, even when they first met each other again she was joking about sending him to horny jail. This is… damn.
Poor Midnight, even when he just wants to be normal they’re making fun of his fate. Just kill him already Nota, he’s been ruined by all that’s happened (within story, I am laughing alongside these characters even though I probably would prefer things to have been much easier for Midnight, but this is the Lightendark series after all)!
Stop bonking Midnight in the head lol, I feel bad for him.
(23) However, I do have something to say about the Necronomicon being destroyed. Sure it might reverse Midnight’s aging, but depending on many things, this might be a bad thing. Like, a really bad thing.
Omen has been playing the longest game of chess in history. He’s pre moving like Hikaru against Magnus! Who’s to say that destroying the Necronomicon isn’t part of his plan?
Ok, ignoring the Omen’s plan thing, I’ll explain that later, first off there is no guarantee that destroying the book would reverse the changes done onto his timeline. It might be how Beatrix fears, she completely loses all of her magic and renders her unable to defend her world without any real benefit.
But let’s say that they do cause Midnight’s age to be reversed as any effect that Beatrix did on his timeline were reversed. Well, are they not realizing that every timeline she has gone to has been affected in some way, shape, or form? Everyone from Cerise, Shadow, Zeloph, Midnight, Lightning, their entire lives might get rewritten!
If Midnight’s age is returned, then Lightning might end up vanishing from existence! Lightning canonically dies in almost all of Midnight’s worlds. She was already dead before the Lightendark Reset occurred! If they reverse Midnight’s aging, they reverse Lightning’s current state of being alive! They’ll unalive her!
If a true reverse of all of Beatrix’s actions were to be done, yeah Beatrix’s world can’t be destroyed by three Necronomicon wars, but what about Moxxi who sealed Zeloph inside of the Necronomicon? Does destroying one instance of the Necronomicon destroys all instances of it? Does Zeloph just kill Moxxi in a universe without the Necronomicon?
Shadow might be alive again but would remain as an evil without a Beatrix to contain! Villains might never be able to get a hold of the book but that never stopped Sombra for being evil for example.
Ignoring these bad timeline examples (they’re extremes as they assume all of Beatrix’s actions would be undone), the main issue, and this is where I’m worried that this is Omen’s plan, is that upon destroying the Necronomicon, if Midnight’s world gets reset so that Midnight can get his lifespan returned…
… then what’s going to happen to all of those living inside of it as well to all of the worlds being connected to it?
The cosmic storm isn’t being caused by the Necronomicon, at least that’s what the characters are currently thinking. And let’s say that’s true. But by shaping Midnight’s world, which is the center of all the other timelines, it might end up erasing everything! Destroying everyone or causing the dimensional madness to become even worse as Midnight’s dimension becomes even more corrupted!
Here’s my current interpretation of things.
The absolute best case scenario: Beatrix keeps her magic, it’s now within her, Midnight not only has his age reversed but has a body that can handle an Onoma, his cock size is still well-endowed as mentioned in Paradise, who knows maybe it was even bigger before the shift in timeline when things weren’t as defined lol. This throws a wrench into Omen’s plan, etc etc etc.
The absolute worse: The entire timeline collapses as Midnight’s world is once again reset, causing things to become even more dire. If destroying the Necronomicon won’t necessarily fix the dimensional shift, then destroying it might make it worse.
Lilith said that Shadow would remain alive but well she’s dead. Who’s to say that her comment that they’d be able to come back to Midnight’s world ends up being proven wrong as the destruction of the Necronomicon results in the timeline getting worse?
Speculating too much, I know it sounds outlandish, but this is from my point of view. And either way, if they reset the timeline to reduce Midnight’s age, then there was no point of the Hyper Stallion pill and Midnight’s embarrassment. In fact, if the worst does happen, it might be the last thing their current selves will be able to remember…
Perhaps this is a way to say goodbye to Lightendark? Everything that Beatrix has done gets reversed? A new world and story is written. To Beatrix and the others, their story might end with the entire timeline coming to a halt, everything becoming too corrupted and all dimensions falling. But for the new Beatrix and her friends that now live without the Necronomicon, peace might be achieved…
Yeah no, the old Shadow and Zeloph, the Burning King, Omen, and so many others might still end up burning the entire world to the ground.
Idk why I took this dark approach to what could happen with the Necronomicon’s destruction, but I wanted to see just how bad things could be if the worst did happen. I remain tentatively hopeful, but I have a strong feeling that something close to the worst will happen.
(24) I feel like I’ve used so much energy writing #23… So while I have read the rest of the story, idk what to comment.
But I’m happy that Chezka and Moon Hammer bonded a bit.
(25) Bruh, Fiery’s soldiers have low IQ, I guess now the minotaurs can get some payback.
(26) Why would Shining and Marathyssa be placed under house arrest??? Fiery probably should be in that place! Either way, I’m happy that Marathyssa wants to make Shining happy, seeing him as a noble stallion that has been trapped by his past. To become any mare for Shining until eventually Shining fucks her in her true self.
I love this scene. This is so wholesome.
(27) Ah, so Fiery’s soldiers are running amok doing whatever they want? And Fiery is now being distracted? I guess with his own thoughts. But either way, they’re just going wild, especially since they made their own camp and contracted some prostitutes.
Donkies? Reminds me of Shining Force 2
I have a bad feeling about this- Ah yeah, the entire platoon is dead.
Wonder what Fiery will do once he finally gains a grasp of things. Though the comment by Tree that he and Chrysalis aren’t that different probably is true.
Anyways, I loved this chapter. I wonder what will happen once the Necronomicon gets destroyed. Because while I found everyone’s treatment of Midnight to be both funny and rude (towards him, but still funny), I worry a lot about the fate of the universe when they do decide to break the Necronomicon.
Especially if this ends up costing Lightning and everyone else’s lives.
Who knows, maybe breaking the Necronomicon might change everyone’s lives in the past for the better, but for the prime version of Beatrix, they all just die and Omen gets his universe filled with nothing before everything is reset thanks to the fact that Midnight’s dimension is tied to every single other dimension for now. It’s a dangerous gamble to destroy the Necronomicon with the cosmic storm active.
90% chance that upon Necronomicon's destruction, Lightning Spark suddenly says "Mr Stark... I don't feel so good..."
I think some might have caught on to Folklore's rump with the Manor Twins. That said love Merry getting used to bizarre state of things in an Erotic Hentai universe like this. She may be hot but the degeneracy around her is basically beyond what she can fathom.
Shinning Armor getting to be with Marathyssa is both an annoyance (She deserves so much better than him at this point in his life.) but also a welcome sight. Shinning should have really considered remarrying even if it was more out of convenience than love early during the war.
Would have spared a ton of ponies a lot of grief.
The Cult of Nemesis using traveling prostitutes and that Tree Hugger is the figurehead is brilliant but at the same time I feel bad. Tree Hugger is a stoner easy vibes gal. If anything Scrying might have been a great prospect for her in another timeline.
11603213
2. We'll see what happened to Shadow Scythe's soul eventually...
4. Lightning wanted to bring out Equinox's softer side, sadly it didn't work.
5-16. Writing Cerise interacting with Sombra and Chrysalis is something I've look forward to! They're my favorite canon villains, and yes, Penumbra will likely be permanently affected by Sombra's actions...
17. Indeed, Midnight has a hero complex like his father!
25. Tired, angry, and horny soldiers...a bad combo when tensions are already high! But I figure people on both sides were just looking for an excuse to fight.
26. Well, Shining was already taken prisoner by Moon Hammer, while Fiery is in a tentative alliance with the minotaurs. Marathyssa went willingly to be with Shining and keep the peace. Trying to place Fiery under house arrest would've reignited the conflict for sure!
11603247
Lol, yes loved writing Merry's scenes, one of the many highlights this chapter! Hopefully she and Arcanum won't end up degenerates themselves from all the bad influences around them!
Indeed, Shining wallowing in grief made things worse for everyone, himself included, but Marathyssa sees who he could be deep down.
Yep, Treehugger's role is one of many callbacks to Beatrix's first proper story, Shining's Force 2; you could see parts of this as a far more polished and developed remake of her old series. A shame yet another old friend has fallen victim to the meddling of the puppeteer...
11603257
(2) Ah, well that makes me even sadder.
(4) Yeah, I know. And of course, Equinox got wrecked by Viscera in UaR's ending.
(5-16) Oh no for Penumbra!
Yeah, having Sombra's horn attached will probably mess up his body a lot. But at least we'll be able to see more of Cerise, Sombra, and Chrysalis. Maybe Cerise might bump into Snowy?
(17) Yeah, sad that Midnight has to go through everything.
(25) Yep.
(26) Ah, true. Fiery wasn't beaten by Moon Hammer after all while Shining was a prisoner. At least Shining is improving.
No comments on the massive theory?
11603265
Don't want to give anything away!
11603275
hmmmmmmm
You said so many more will die eh?
Many more can mean everyone lol.
11603291
Could be...!
11603292
If the Necronomicon was truly destroyed and all actions done with it were to be reverted, then potentially everyone in the present will die but at least Beatrix will be able to live a normal life with Flurry Heart and the others while Midnight would be free.
Maybe Beatrix does find a way to travel without the Necronomicon to other worlds. Instead of the FIrst and Second Necronomicon Wars, Beatrix experiments with magic upon wanting to expand her travels, and together with Flurry Heart they drop by into Cerise's world or something.
Though eventually, they'll need to get strong as powerful foes like Shadow and Zeloph would still rise as usual. I wonder how Moxxi would be able to deal with Zeloph if she has no Necronomicon to kick him into? Does one of them end up killing the other? That's such a sad thought!
Beatrix's journey though might end up finishing if she faces Shadow and gets killed in the same way. However that's assuming that she just continuously jumps from dimension to dimension as usual. If she were to take a more steady approach she might be able to accumulate more and more magic over time. Though eventually age might catch up to her but if she encounters the Spike Lord series she can probably become temporarily immortal.
No Demiurge means she can be knocked up though so she might end up finishing her journey earlier, or maybe not. The Lightendark Prophecy can't happen though so Omen is still stuck in his plane of existence. The Burning King though might have an easier time, depending on how much preparation Beatrix has.
Maybe she can still be lucky to get an Onoma after encounter Nota's side of the dimension aka Oona, Zeloph, etc.
11603303
Answering something you brought up earlier, I agree this Sombra wouldn't approve of Midnight even without his failings, as he believes Cerise is submitting to someone far below her royal status.
And on that note, Sombra of course has to play Chrysalis carefully since she has the advantage...but Cerise has indeed caused a rift between them!
11603322
Yeah, Cerise might end up causing the alliance between Sombra and Chrysalis to tear apart. Hopefully, it won't be at the expense of her own free will or something.
Once again I love that scene.
11603213
5) Before the introduction of my characters and lore, I used to be the main writer for Sombra in a few of Sharaz earlier works. Been while since I got to right him as the tyrannical megalomaniac he is. Feels nice
8)/11) Not to give too much away, but it’s a part of his Onoma’s power. He’s not technically there to torment her, but her fear of being a failure is manifested through his visage.
19) This particular dream is rather important as it gives a way a few key things that’ll show up later. One of them is eluded by a line Oona says.
23) Midnight’s world isn’t the center of the multiverse. There’s another place that, if destroyed, would be the end of all things. But yes, the Necronomicon’s destruction would play into Omen’s favor, nonetheless.
11603405
(5) Very cool! I love Sombra here!
(8/11) In short, the trauma that Omen inflicted while she was trapped allows him to indirectly attack her even while she's awake due to that fear of failing.
(19) Wait, there's more stuff hidden in the dream? Alright, guess I'll have to analyze that. Give me a moment.
(23) Oh, his world isn't the center of the multiverse? I thought we said multiple times that Midnight's world falling would cause a chain reaction that results in every timeline falling. After all, so many worlds are connected to his world that it seemed that yeah, his world was at least a very important pillar.
What place would that be? Oona's world because she carries the child of Lightendark, Abadonna?
(1) Abadonna sounds like Abandon now that I think about it. It never clicked because I always referred to her as Aba much like how I refer to Moxxi as Ana sometimes.
Wait…
Abaddon means a place of destruction.
._.
Like I know that Aba ended up causing the Burning King to be released in Lightendark, but what if her name still holds significance?
What if Oona's world is yet another important pillar? Maybe not the trigger to destroy the multiverse but if it falls then that means the villains can take Aba for themselves.
And you know how strong she is. They might sacrifice her or something, absorb her power into themselves or something. Idk.
(2) But either way destroying the Necronomicon is a bad idea right? Because I feel it would still destabilize Midnight's world or at least affect it and those currently in it.
There's a lot characters here that aren't supposed to be alive at this point or didn't even exist prior to Beatrix's interference (Snowy, Lightning, maybe even Marathyssa and Deinos) and others whose lives would be so affected by the outcome of Beatrix's wish that they might as well become different people (Midnight, Moonlight, Shining, Chrysalis, Sombra and Fiery)
If the Necronomicon were to be destroyed and the changes done onto Midnight's world were reversed to one of its previous iterations then while the Mi Goh power might be undone (this is a change not caused by Beatrix so who knows), so many heroes would instantly fall.
Not to mention that Beatrix's fear might be true and she loses all of her powers, rendering her fully unable to stop the attack on Oona's homeworld.
Of course they can try destroying it later but it might end up teleporting before that happens so they have to make a decision now.
11603405
(1) Ok I studied the dream and I feel that this might've been yet another nightmare caused by Omen as the ending did say that Oona was standing next to a familiar figure. Which would probably be Omen in this case.
(2) I guess Shining did end up having sex with Marathyssa, though it was more wholesome of course
(3) Oona can't transform into the dark faun she briefly took on during Midnight's dream right?? At the same time though she secretly has four horns.
(4) There's only one line that Oona says that interest me.
"Breed me so that Ah may birth th' spirit that will take Excalibur's true form.”
Is Aba supposed to wield the Vorpal Blade eventually? Well if Zeloph who represents the light has been able to somewhat use it, maybe that can be true for Aba in the future?
(5) Are there more I should be looking at? The crucified forms? The blood? I'm bad at symbolism lol.
11603586
1) Correct.
3) Incorrect. The form she took in the dream is not a transformation.
4) That’s not the line I was referring to, nor is the statement true.
5) The location at the very end of the dream is highly significant. But the fantasy before that’s as just a means to sucker Midnight in.
11603646
(1)) Ah, bruh, Omen , stop bullying Midnight as well! XD
Midnight is like a piñata at this point.
(3) Yeah that's what I said she can't transform into that form. The only thing potentially linking the two would be the fact that yeah does she does have four horns, but she hides the other pair.
(4) Yeah I kind of had a feeling the statement of Aba was a very stretched theory.
There's only so many lines so let me try again.
What, is flesh reborn the line?
Cause here's my view of the lines right now.
Midnight being called Sir Knight is part of Midnight's fantasy.
The father that passed the test as Paladin is just a reference to Shining.
Midnight is not worthy of Excalibur, another fantasy.
Dream Oona is just asking to get fucked by Midnight
Flesh reborn is just part of the fantasy. Probably.
Make me fat with a thousand young and the other lewd things that Oona says are well just lewd talk.
Then Oona becomes Chrysalis, so idk if what she says counts.
Chrysalis basically accomplishes her goal of changeling Hyper Stallion hybrids. What is that meant to become true in the future? Say Fiery manages to get the DNA, injects Midnight, Midnight gets captured by Chrysalis and then that occurs?
Everything Chrysalis says doesn't feel to contain any real implications outside of toying with Midnight.
So idk what line do you mean at all. They feel just tied to the dream.
So good job, you stumped the theorist for now. Maybe I'll come up with something later. Nothing really shouted 'lore' within the text. Except maybe flesh reborn and Excalibur.
(5) Ah, the fact that it's the verdant version of Midnight's world and that it then reminds Midnight of the Paradise World where his adventure with Beatrix began to take shape?
I thought about including it within the previous comment but idk what to make out of it either.
Because the Paradise World was made from the death of the Smooze, at least that's what Sharaz told me.
Is the Paradise World supposed to get corrupted and fall apart?
Actually now thinking about it that's where so many of the OCs came from, so maybe it's actually the center of the multiverse since it was the first plane to pull OCs from their homeworld.
(Extra Point) Maybe the Paradise World will be Midnight's resting place, since Oona and Chrysalis remark how they fuck him until his heart expires and then Midnight gets dragged down. So maybe there's also that line.
Another way the Paradise Works could be important?
Eh idk. Hopefully I landed on something.
11603656
Heh. It’s literally right there and you keep missing it
11603732
(1)) Yeah I got nothing. Though I do notice that Oona calls him both Sir Midnight Blitzer and Sir Knight. Any significance in that?
(2) Welcome home… Yet the environment belongs to the Paradise World? Not to mention that Oona says that she brought him to a warm place for him to devolve and ultimately die?
The Paradise World can't possibly belong or have become his origin world, right? But at the same time Midnight identifies this place as a verdant version of his world, untouched by war!
This can't be right, right?!
11603738
1/2) Nope~
11603751
My god.
I literally have a list of every line that both Oona and Chrysalis says and I can't find anything XD
Are you saying nope to the fact that they're outright wrong or nope that they are right but not the main focus of the line?
11603751
I can't find anything lmao. Let me try and use the most outlandish theory for each line lol.
(1)) Midnight, if he was to become worthy, would be able to wield the Excalibur.
UHM, no? XD
(2) The Paradise World was his home before the war
Already rejected
(3) The father is of course Shining Armor, it can't possibly be Thunder Storm eh??
(4) Midnight somehow has to heal his soul through sex?
(5) Don't think Midnight and Oona are going to have sex IRL any time soon to make the offspring worthy of Excalibur lol.
(6) Sir Knight is another name for Midnight I guess…
(7) Flesh reborn, but that's referring to Oona and it's just a fantasy. But maybe could parallel how he was remade to become Lightendark Midnight?
(8) Idk what to say about the thousand young, and the other two lewd lines are just lewd lines.
(9) This is the other part of the idea that Paradise is his home theory. Been proven false. Maybe instead Midnight is meant to die in that plane.
(10) Maybe Midnight does get captured by Chrysalis.
(11) Chrysalis just explaining what changelings can do. Maybe though Midnight does still end up losing control and he tries to fuck everyone. But his Hyper gene is being taken care of by Deinos and Moxxi.
*Piñata sounds*
(12) Maybe Midnight might actually get some more half siblings from Marathyssa and Shining.
Are you sure this is something Oona says directly as a line of dialogue?
11603760
Are you so certain what I’m referring to has to do with Midnight?
11603808
No, not really. But it is Midnight's dream.
Maybe my focus on Midnight is blinding me. But then who else? Shining / the father and Marathyssa?
There's nobody else if we're studying the lines by themselves, and you said that I should focus on what Oona said.
11603808
Are you saying it's about Oona?!
11603812
Mayhaps
11603848
Then I take it as a yes?
Just because it might be about her doesn't mean I know what exactly it would be about.
But if I were to take a guess, it either will be related to the fact that Oona is standing next to a familiar figure (Omen, which shows his growing control over her fate) or maybe the flesh reborn line, though that part is a stretch still.
But again that's the only line where she refers to herself, and all my guesses relating to Midnight have not worked.
Either way, Omen potentially standing next to her (and well he likes bullying Midnight in his dream lol) is something that can't be ignored.
