CH.524 Storm of Ragnarok

On our way back home, I talked with the three girls that were with me about Wilma. And yes, Wilma was included in the conversation.

It wasn’t too difficult for them to add Wilma to the harem, as she was basically an honorary member already. She just wasn’t a member because she had shown no interest, or not sufficient interest, in me until I grew a beard.

I think it is just a dwarf thing. A beard is a status symbol for them, so they want a man with a beard.

Speaking of, when I changed back to human, my dwarf beard disappeared, but I did have a stubble. Which is new, because I didn't grow one, no matter how much time passed. But now, I do. So I think if I let my beard grow ... okay I probably won’t grow it out.

The girls will need to come to a conclusion on what length beard my human form should have and I’ll keep that.



Back on HomeBase, I began running some experiments on the creature I captured.

I started by having Lua scan it with magic, both Light and Water. I would have asked for a Blood Scan as well, but the thing doesn’t actually have any blood.

From that, we learned a bit. Firstly, this thing is not a monster. It doesn’t have a monster core.

Second, it is somewhat similar to a spirit, but it isn’t a spirit, nor is it a sprite. But it has some elements that are the same as spirits.

Third, it has some demonic elements. I had to summon Hope to make sure, and while she is no expert, she was able to confirm that the creature is part demon.

I then asked a System Angel to tell me what they know. Sadly, while they did know exactly what that thing was, they weren’t telling me until I had perfect System Support. Because ‘the rules’. Which is bullshit. Just give me the perfect System Support already so we can get around these problems.

But they did confirm that my conclusions were correct, so at least I had that going for me.

So, the creature is some sort of artificial spirit/sprite/demon fusion. And in one ‘big creature’, there probably are multiple smaller creatures. So it is probably some sort of hivemind, or something like that. Maybe.

I need to try and capture one of the large ones next time I see them to actually get an idea. Until then, I’ll keep the little one locked in its little jar and see if it dies if I don’t feed it.

Spoilers, I know it won’t die. It seems to live on mana and miasma.



Now, next thing. Molly and Cina are getting their Card Summoner skill orbs. Like right now. Their status can wait for later, because we just went over them, but I’m giving them the skill orbs.

For their cards, they both got the same set for now.

Both have one copy of each, Thunder Unicorn, Voltic Bicorn and Lightning Tricorn.

Spoiler[collapse]

To act as Synchro materials, they have Sunlight Unicorn, Lock Cat, X-Saber Airbellum and Key Mouse.

Spoiler[collapse]

I picked those, because with them, you can decently easily access level 5, 7 and 8 Synchros. Sure X-Saber Airbellum might seem random, but it also is the only level 3 Beast Tuner I have.

I also gave both of the centaurs a handful of useful spells, but I didn’t want to go too overboard, because their Card Summoners are still LV.1, so they don’t have the deck box feature to carry their cards.



But now, time for packs.

Because I got a new set ages ago, and I need to itch my Pack Opening scratch or I’ll go crazy!

So ten packs of . GO!

STOR 1



Karakuri Watchdog mdl 313 "Saizan"; Hourglass of Courage; Nordic Relic Brisingamen; Nordic Relic Laevateinn; Karakuri Cash Cache; Odin's Eye; Kagemusha of the Six Samurai; Resonator Engine; Scrap Worm

[collapse]

Karakuri Watchdog has an attack boosting effect, which I usually like, but Watchdog’s isn’t the greatest. And it is a Karakuri, and I already hate them.

Hourglass of Courage has an interesting idea, but it is a bit too difficult to keep alive for a turn, and even if you do, all you get is a 2200 normal summonable attacker.

Nordic Relic Brisingamen is okay, but it really should boost the attack by the attack of the other monster, not just making the two monsters match. But it looks quite pretty, so I might need to look into making one, just for that.

Nordic Relic Laevateinn is way too situational, but like Brisingamen, it looks cool, so maybe we can make one.

Karakuri Cash Cache searches Karakuri monsters, and searchers are always good.

Odin's Eye is interesting. Not as a card, but as an install. It would probably give some sort of foresight skill, and that could be very useful.

Kagemusha of the Six Samurai is my old friend Kagemusha of the Blue Flame all armored up. His effect is very situational, but it doesn’t matter, because nostalgia wins.

Resonator Engine is good. Just re-shuffle a couple Resonators and I can pick myself a new LV.4 monster. Nice.

And while Scrap Worm can attack directly, it sadly kills itself after one attack. And then recovers a Scrap from the GY, but it doesn’t special summon it, just returns it to the hand.

Spoiler[collapse]Spoiler[collapse]Spoiler[collapse]Spoiler[collapse]

Blackwing - Calima the Haze is a situational protective card. It isn’t bad, just situational.

Karakuri Ninja mdl 919 "Kuick" is good, as far as Karakuri monsters go.

Barrier Resonator I like, because it can make Tuners basically unkillable for a bit.

Token Stampede is really cool. A nice attack boost for all Tokens. And they cannot be destroyed by battle. It really is a cool card.

Next pack.

STOR 6



Majioshaleon; Karakuri Gold Dust; Mimir of the Nordic Ascendant; Token Stampede; Nordic Relic Draupnir; Shien's Scheme; Blood Sucker; Terminal World; Tanngnjostr of the Nordic Beasts

[collapse]

Mimir of the Nordic Ascendant is the Tuner I need for Odin. Other than that, it doesn’t offer much.

Tanngnjostr of the Nordic Beasts is pretty good. One of the best Nordic monsters. Special summons itself, specials another Nordic when changed from defense to attack. Just all around good.

Spoiler

STOR 7



Blood Sucker; Resonator Engine; Ljosalf of the Nordic Alfar; Solemn Authority; Barrier Resonator; Shien's Scheme; Zero Force; Needle Ball; Symphonic Warrior Piaano

[collapse]

Solemn Authority is pretty meh. There are better targeting protection cards.

Needle Ball is trash.

Symphonic Warrior Piaano is just kind of bad. Now admittedly I don’t know the Symphonic Warrior archetype, but it just sounds like a major pain based on this one card.

Spoiler

STOR 8



Odin's Eye; Needle Ball; Mimir of the Nordic Ascendant; Legendary Six Samurai - Mizuho; Blackboost; Karakuri Ninja mdl 919 "Kuick"; Token Sundae; Blackwing - Brisote the Tailwind; Tyr of the Nordic Champions

[collapse]

Mizuho is fine.

Blackboost makes Pack tokens. If it were a Spell, I think it would have been decently popular.

Token Sundae is a sucky board wipe.

Blackwing - Brisote the Tailwind is a bit too specific.

And Tyr of the Nordic Champions is nice. ... except for the ‘If there is no other "Nordic" monster on the field, destroy this card.’ part of the effect.

Next pack.

Spoiler

STOR 9



Hourglass of Courage; Garmr of the Nordic Beasts; Token Stampede; Scrap Shark; Worm Illidan; Odin's Eye; Barrier Resonator; Token Sundae; Foolish Return

[collapse]

Scrap Shark has a good attack stat for a level 4, but it dies when someone looks at it funny.

Worm Illidan is way too slow.

And Foolish Return is just not good. It is one of those troll cards that are printed for some reason. But actually, for me, since the term ‘my opponent’ is basically anyone but me, it might be useful.

Last pack.

Spoiler

STOR 10



Xing Zhen Hu Replica; Token Sundae; Terminal World; Vylon Matter; Blackwing - Calima the Haze; Divine Wind of Mist Valley; Nordic Relic Draupnir; Foolish Return; Worm King

[collapse]

Worm King is an SR, so nice to end on a super rare. Other than that, it is just okay.

But yeah. That is it for now. I have an Odin to summon.
