THE TAIL THAT BURNS TWICE AS BRIGHT...


No way Helck is being allowed to take this but I don't get why they aren't offering to back him up too and give him his body back when it's done. Do they just not have the space or what?

Also I imagined super-powerful Helckomputer and giggled

Set up a plot line about 4 dead kings. Next chapter make it completely irrelevant.

I'm not 100% sure what happened with that.

So Mikaros thought that the king amalgamate thing just had the consciousness of the four kings, which he could control - but in reality the body was entirely under the control of the consciousness of the ancient humans? They just took over after Mikaros added the "king of domination" to the amalgamate thing?

anime is not good
So do you think the king was really waiting for the right opening to stop mikaros, or did it go along with his plan this far specifically to get a massive bargaining chip with Helck?

the plan predates helck's birth, possibly by centuries.

For all we know Kingy's plan could have BEEN Helck's birth I.e. human husbandry.

Probably not, but it doesn't seem out of the scope of his power.

they specifically mention that one ego gets wiped out when they take over. if helck lets them in, there won't be any giving the body back because helck won't be there anymore

I hope not. I really like Helck being "unexplained" ...but now we're totally in "explain everything for the next 2 dozen chapters" mode. I don't care if the world doesn't make alot of canonical sense, because it's a character driven story.

helck's birth wasn't planned. cless was only discovered by accident and everyone ignored helck. helck only became relevant once he demonstrated his strength. of course, his worth isn't only that strength. the control king isn't likely to acknowledge that, though.

Helck's worth is in his UNFATHOMABLE KINDNESS.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
I appreciate a good self-contained story that has a deeper world around it but doesn't actually go into it, but when a good writer decides to deep dive on the lore of their super interesting world I am all the way in. I get why a lot of people tend to feel like that kind of thing can bog a story down, and in the wrong hands I absolutely agree, but I'm legitimately super interested in what the gently caress is happening with the Will of the (New) World stuff. It's fascinating to me.

I have a feeling that they didn't erase the original king's ego but instead they displaced it, Zero Escape style. In before piuy is the body it was displaced into.

...This makes sense, in its own way.

And so clearly it is also the Will of the World to say HELLO to every living thing and thus Piuy came to be.

the king didn't really know what the will of the world thing even was, much less that he could not mindjack someone with access to it. however, the clues were there for him to figure out that helck was such a person.

see, the king didn't even try to understand just why helck was so much stronger than other heroes. if he had really thought about it, he could have figured it out as soon as helck first resisted his control. after all, the only other human who was completely immune to his control was mikaros (though rafaed still has a big ol' question mark above his head). in fact, the king was the only person with the context to realize the truth about helck.

But wait
Its established already that heroes are new world touched.
So why is it a surprise to the king that helck has it too, unless its some special kind of contact to the will that makes it like this then im not sure at all
