    For all his increased power (and he was pretty powerful before) Slithis remains at heart a bit of a tool. He'll always underestimate his foes because he has such a high opinion of himself.


That's always dangerous...to himself. A few well-placed insults could do him in.

    Thugos was mildly disappointed not to recruit Lara but as he said he's come out of this pretty well. He's got an empire of undead. He's empowered his ally the Chain Knight. Slithis still managed to get hold of the godplague, whatever that turns out to be. And Thugos got more of the measure of a potential adversary or ally. Not a bad day's work.


One thing I keep thinking of is that Chiaki's prediction and warning seems to be coming painfully true. She told Lara (and Liu Xi) that showing too much of her power too early will result in stronger and stronger opponents until her power is eventually insignificant. So far, this phenomenon has happened twice.



    Quote:
    Thugos wanted to assess Lara. He was willing to test her to destruction if he had to, but settled for just taking her to the edge in more ways than one. He's arrogant enough to believe that his trap for her will spring eventually.


I wonder if he's miffed at all that she handled it without losing her temper or her marbles? Then again, she's seen some pretty insane stuff and dealt with less well mannered villains before, and that's just in the Parodyverse.



    Quote:
    We'll certainly be hearing more on that particular plot point in chapters to come. So far nobody, even Liu Xi, is aware that there's a problem. That will change, probably as of UT#341.


So someone's going to try to force her to marry them again?

      Quote:
      Someday Dark Thugos needs to find Faite and ask her, with all her power (to change current events) why doesn't she take control of the Parodyverse? Her answer is remarkably simple - she already has, just not in a manner that he understands. It might just be eye-opening for him.



    Quote:
    Someone might ask the same question and get the same answer from Thugos.


The difference is that Faite doesn't seem to have done anything at all. She essentially has "control" of the Parodyverse by making sure it stays on its current path.

As a side note, now that larger matters have been smoothing out by themselves, it's likely that soon Faite might start taking interest again in the more mundane. Every once in a while she has time for that.
