"And it wouldn't be the first time one of Aten's incarnations left an idea so psycho to the beings watching over reality."

Kurt thought for a second.

"I think one of Cooper's previous incarnations might have tried to put a black hole on display as an art piece in one reality, but other than that only Pavlin's incarnations are crazy enough to want them used near political or cultural centers."
To be honest it appears Aten left a ton of psycho ideas and commands for Lucifer to follow.

However being next to a black hole does offer strategic and defensive value, it makes it harder for enemy fleets to maneuver and attack the palace.

"We'll have to go over the full list some time. But not now, we can deal with it after the war."

*Cosmos looks at him* Cosmos:”What exactly did I miss?”
"Mainly me whining about Aten's placement of a black hole. Especially when I really should be prepping what to tell the Lords at the Palace."

What do you have so far? Perhaps I might be able to provide assistance for your speech.

"I've got three things: that our sole objective is ensuring the Shogun Empire is squashed flat, that we have the Duchy on our side for this, and that we've retrieved someone powerful from the Shogun Empire's grip. But here's the problem: none of it is truly coming together."

"I want to be able to make this speech without publicly calling out the idea that we're not staking territory immediately and without mentioning that the Duchy's only remaining independent temporarily."

Perhaps you could say something about stopping aggressive Shogun expansionism and restoring territory to their rightful owners?

"Hmmmmm..... for that to sink in.... some of the Lords know this part already, but if we're going to make the expansionism thing truly stick, I'd need to know the expansion attempts of the previous 11 empires. You've already told me about the 8th.... and about the history that led up to the Duchy... have we got any more than those two things? We're basically grinding an empire to dust and making sure they never rise again, I want people truly sold on the idea that the Shogun Empire will never learn its lesson."

*I could feel Cosmos’s frustration*
Cosmos:”I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY WORSHIP SOME MORTAL DRAGONS AND THEY AREN’T EVEN POWERFUL DRAGONS”
"I can feel it from here. This... it's been 100 realities since everyone bowed to dragons without a fight, and it's been 60 since we've had a reality where no one fought back against the Architects at any point. I can believe someone worshiping beings far below the gods."

Kurt hesitated.

"Y'know... I have an idea. When they have the skulls of the 12 Divines in their possession... I wonder if you could revive them into forms that obey you. If the mortals protest, simply say your brother was the one who helped them overcome death in the first place."

"These dragons likely came about this cycle as a result of Cthugha's thoughts in the first place. So I was thinking him, but if you don't think that's going to get them to listen to you then you can decide on a different brother."

Im not sure about that, if my hunch is correct reviving the 12 Divines may be a bad idea.

"Are you more worried about the binding or their level of power? If it's the binding, let me point out that once we're released from the current binding, we can't be bound under the same one again, ever. We develop immunity to repeat attempts to use the same sigils and weapons, that's part of why it took so long to bind us the last time. If it's their level of power, then you vastly underestimate what we have at our disposal."

Kurt thought for a moment.

"There is the option of booby-trapping the skulls of the Divines and setting them off during the Duke's revival attempt, as much as that will drive Cosmos nuts...."

I am afraid of the possibility of the 12 Divines being the resurrected leaders of the 12 Viles. I think Aten may have unlocked some long repressed memories during the creation of this reality and inadvertently brought them back.

"We had a deal. But he made that deal with someone that way outclasses him. Remember, the deal only said they get the skulls of the 12 Divines back. If you are insistent on not letting them resurrect, there are... endless ways to exploit that loophole."

Kurt hesitated.

"Even if they do resurrect though? Given their vendettas against the 12 Viles, I have reason to believe the Celestial Dragons have some secret ace they're waiting to unveil if they see their leaders again. Regardless of how we want to go about it, the 12 Viles are a non-threat this time around, Ahrakas."

*Cosmos looks weary as if his age was finally catching up with him*
"Just.... try to hold out a bit longer. I know you kept saying you were due for a rebirth... that process takes half a reality to accomplish. When we're unbound, you can have your peace."
