We know that the Space Robots collectively have sometimes warded off Galactivac. It's not clear whether one alone can, except that the Dreaming Celestian now has cheat codes beyond those his former partners had.

The problem is more likely this: if Galactivac could take down the Dreaming Celestian, that would not stop the imperative that has already been triggered; nor has Galactivac any means of stopping it. His only recourse is his go-to move of destroying planets.




It's a bit more complex than that.

Liu Xi had to reform herself a body in the Celestial Control Plane. Since that place helpfully temporarily supplies a guide from amongst the list of people whom the visitor would most want to meet there, Liu Xi was met by a temporarily-recreated Exu. He donated a fair amount of his body-mass as raw materials for Liu Xi to create a body from to save her life. This would have killed almost everyone but him, but his power allowed him to endure it.

When Liu Xi went home, the Doomherald should have ceased to exist again. Except that Liu Xi took her new body home with her and it was composed of Exu-stuff that had been temporarily created by the Celestian plane's hospitality systems. Technically, Liu Xi still needs the Doomherald or she would die (it's tough to do that body-making thing once in a day, let alone twice; if she hadn't used Exu-stuff for it she'd be hospitalised right now), so he is still around, caught in a logic glitch in the system.

The Lair mansion's scanners have noted that Liu Xi's physical matter is different from before in some ways. She hasn't yet fully processed the organics she used to make her body. It's not exactly Doomherald DNA but there is some trace of Exu there. That Exu-signature is what the EEE systems are locking on to, not to send H9 to Liu Xi (who intimidates him) but to the Doomherald!

In other words, H9 is using that Exu-stuff reading to find the actual Exu in the Celestian Control Plane and exploit a back-door to get himself and Aella there.

Are there other consequences of Liu Xi now being composed of matter drawn from the God of Murder recreated by Celestian technology on a supposedly temporary basis? Possibly. It all depends how good a story it makes, doesn't it?




Worrying, isn't it?
