I don't know what this is...
What do I do?

>>312426
Be on guard, retreat a few meters in order to size the clone up.

yeah be ready for combat but don't strike first. have seen a similar thing to this before. could be to just guard against attacks until it wears itself out.

RED RING

IT HAS THE RED RING OF DEATH!!
(This is funny cause I don't even own a 360)

Yeah, so don't attack until it does.

you tried lightning, it used it first. it knows what you are thinking and will be one step ahead. you cannot fight it.

Maybe it can only respond to basic commands?

Try taking a small piece of the ground and then fire it like a railgun using lightning.

The ground is made of CYLOSIAN METAL.
I cannot scratch it.
I hit it with lightning, but it deflects.

CYLOSIAN METAL? can't you make people out of that? hit the ground with whatever it is that makes cylosians.

Cylosian metal is special because it can be inhabited by a soul. This entire tower is a body for... something. I cannot break it without rendering the value of the tower worthless.

WEATHER CONTROL-RAIN

ALTERNATE COSTUME-DEUS EX MACHINA

alternate costume? Lets see it.

oh man, you can now pretend to be two different gods.

Pretend to be an "Evil" god of darkness and mayhem, and a "Good" god. You can ravage the land as the evil one, and get all the survivors to follow you as the good one! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Deus Ex Machina! Deus Ex Machina!

So this Weather Control skill is specific, huh... were you able to control all of it, or are these the only ones you knew before?

Done, and yes I can switch back to human.
However, I lose all of my GOD POWERS while human.
The TELEPORT PADS are still down, so I go through the MIRROR.
It takes me to a strange room, the geometry of which doesnt quite match up.
There is a BRAIN IN A JAR on the far end of the room.

examine room and the jar brain. if nothing seems to do anything then use DEUS EX MACHINA to see if it is coded to that form.

The brain's organic and this room looks odd. Try out the new outfit to see if there are any illusions.

I think the two of them would go well together.
Getting her on board with this would probably go better than trying to conquer the world without her - can you imagine how awkward it would be to have our world-conquering forces get muddled up with hers?

>>312801
Agreed.

she doesn't HAVE any forces. no one is perfect enough for her to add to an army. it's just her.

We take the teleport pad out, and emerge at the cliffs overlooking the bay.
NEO ARCADIA has light up, and several adjacent pillars have risen next to it.
A bridge has connected the MAIN TOWER to the cliffs, providing access to the LIVING QUARTERS.

She, all by herself, is an Army of One.

PERFECT! The world shall know the might of the Cylosians once again!

...But the stars are not yet right. Though they may never blink, never sleep, they are still not well-positioned enough to mark that our time of return has come.

First, we must assess the world we are in. And for that, we will need a recon force.

hmmm... 50 aggressors and 5 snipers. divided into squads of 10 aggressors and 1 sniper.

...How many resources do we have?

Israphel takes me to the top of the Recon Tower, and points them out. It's actually a sizable force, maybe about 5000 people. They would easily overrun the kobolds, even with the robots I currently have deployed.
I can even hear them shouting from here.

well we just assumed and stuff. can't see his face and his eyes are glowing.
anyway, sounds like hope visited granite city. no way we can take over anything if she kills all the subjects.

>>312826
How many do you think you, alongside Israphel, Prometheous and Pandora can defeat, if we take into account your new Divine/Deus Ex Machina powers?

hmm, if the town is on fire then start up a nice big rainstorm over it to put it out. then fly over them and ask them what they are doing. perhaps you can make them understand that you made the rain not the fire.

>>312830
This will probably calm then down, but it may reduce our Hope points (?), besides, why should we listen to them?

Tell 'em the big ominous towers had nothing to do with their big meltdown and they should just go and suck it.

Then say if they don't fucking suck it, they all die at in was in your self defense, which would make them the awful villainous lynch mob, an unsuccessful villainous lynch mob and that's just shameful.

>>312830
This, also make it rain in Granite City to quench the flames. Then manipulate them into worshiping you, since you "saved" their city and all.

He wears the helm of the one who kills inorganics and takes their powers as his own! There is no telling how much power he has amassed by now.

Fighting that guy when he is on his own tends to go badly; with a few thousand armed followers oh his side you should avoid fighting him if you can.

No, no, no! Sending out mooks never works! You must gang up on him with everything you have, yourself included!

still saying you should just get your force ready but see what they want. why are they trying to attack you? just assume that the town being on fire is your fault?

There is still some chance he is not out to kill you at the moment. Have your forces take defensive positions, but don't start shooting at them until you know what their intentions are.

Grab one of the Aggressors, reinforce it's Armor, add in a paint job: red and white parts, give it a close-range lightsaber-like beam weapon, the combat knowledge of an Experienced Aggressor, and even then we might stand a chance against this guy. Besides, an elite version of the normal Aggressors is cool too!

But first of all, have the force of 200 on alert, we need to look intimadating. Turn into Deus ex Machina mode, approach the blue-helmet guy, and ask why they're having a riot towards here.

Alright, have a short talk to find out what the problem is. If things don't work out, I recommend rule 80 of the Evil Overlord List.

>If my weakest troops fail to eliminate a hero, I will send out my best troops instead of wasting time with progressively stronger ones as he gets closer and closer to my fortress.

We don't know what stuff this guy can spit out, so we should avoid getting close to him. When talking to him, talking to him from the top of your tower (with booming amplified voice if needed) seems better than walking over to him. If your snipers can hit where he is from the top of the tower, station a large number of them up there.
If it comes to a fight, you may want to coordinate the snipers so some of them aim slightly to a designated side of him rather than straight at him so the area around him is covered in case he dodges.

Yes, be very wary of him, but this is also a priceless opportunity. Tell them the truth: The fire was started by your sworn enemy (or whatever the hell she is), and that you will be glad to put it out. Try and get them to join our army.

If we get Megaman on our side, we WILL be damn near unstoppable.
