He eats more then blood. Energy, powers, spacial authority, and traps the soul in his scythe.

@Shadow Dragon

That still wouldn't steal their powers. That's not how the Entities work. It's not special energy. It's literally just ascended math. Unless he has the mental computation power and absorbs their knowledge of physics, it's useless to him.

Also, the Entities don't actually fight using their real bodies. They channel powers through humanoid avatars and hide behind dimensional barriers with their body scattered out across multiple dimensions. Getting at their souls -if these abominations even have one- would require reaching their true body parts... many many times, since they can shift dimensions at will. As I mentioned, each individual Shard would effectively be a separate soul of a massive hivemind. These things are the furthest thing from easy to so much as challenge, never mind kill.

And this is assuming one can get around their Path To Victory power that literally gives them the precognitive step-by-step path to perfect victory in literally any situation. The only limits are that it's naturally hyper energy intensive to use, so they save it as a last resort for foes they have to take seriously.

Basically this. Worm does love its existential threats to humanity.

Also for whatever it's worth, we've historically tried to avoid force-resolving "who would win in a fight" between characters that both players want to portray as strong and "defeat is unthinkable!" So if you have a character you would want to win in a conflict and the other player also has a character they would want to win, just remember that carrying it to the end will result in someone being unsatisfied with the results. =)

The Entites are not characters I'm playing. Just enemies that are involved in my character's backstory/homeworld. They're pretty "big fucking deal" type beings but not ones I'd really enjoy playing. Didn't even consider it. They also most certainly aren't unbeatable. After all, all the relevant ones were killed in Worm Canon by various means. There was extenuating circumstances, but they're hardly unbeatable, merely incredibly daunting in their prime and typical state.

Yeah, I'm just throwing that out there before it gets to a "who would win in a fight" discussion between peoples' mains.

Who played the dude Alna almost killed?

@Lewascan2

Haha, okay I'll be clear Alna has the means to bend universes to him whims, destroy realities with a flick of the wrist yet he doesn't because it isn't the gentleman's way.

EDIT: He could do anything you can do replicated with magic, transcending any and all laws of nature to do whatever his whimsy desires.

@Dark Cloud

Unless he can simultaneously: locate every reality with a vital portion of the Entity (of which there will be hundreds to thousands), shatter the dimensional barriers they put around said realities, and then destroy them fairly simultaneously, it will pretty quickly devolve into a game of cat and mouse. And the Entity will hardly be merely running, so Alna would have to be playing defense too against a being with a literal Path to Victory power that they would absolutely be using in the face of such an egregious attack. They're hiveminds, so they can multitask like no-one's business.

And to reiterate, Entities don't use magic, merely high-ascended math backed by energy that lets them impose those new laws of physics on reality. It's not anything he can copy without the same level of planet-sized computer computational power. Sure he can probably think of a magical version, but the Entity way is not magic.

Point being, Alna's absolutely a monster and strong to a degree that boggles the mind no doubt, but a full-powered Entity can and will likely give him a run for his money, even if he's try-harding. Luckily, they're all dead now, so we won't be seeing such an utterly devastating fight come to pass.

Remember he decided to consume/destroy the book to unlock all it's power and knowledge.

Yup. There are variables that have been left unaddressed, though.

That was a close fight mate.

Good point, the contract hasn't been fully fulfilled yet and as I recall there would be another clause.

Yeah, he woulda stood no chance had Faering not popped in with her armada.

They both would have died though due to the curse he put on him. It was his only alibi to get Faering to listen to him and leave.

@Lewascan2 I am just imagining at this point Collin is frothing at the mouth with the sheer amount of auras in his face.
