"Then I can just take you all to another star system and you can wait it out. I want to be clear that that's an option. If saving everyone is just a matter of time that we can get time."

That would buy them like 4 years till Galaxia wipes out all life in the universe.

Chojin Patriarch said:
So, the mission becomes clear: Hit Metalia's base, free its captives, end it (and probably Beryl in the process) and hopefully recover the Silver Crystal and use it to fix everything. No easy task. I fully expect there to be literal armies of youma guarding it, whatever powerful servants Metalia has left on site and Beryl as the final boss... Joy.

If Beryl or Metalia had the Silver Crystal there wouldn't be a solar system left at this point.

I'm a bit surprised they actually did just let OL purify them. If I were designing an "almost can't tell" mind control system not letting anyone tamper with what's keeping them altered would be priority number one or two.

The mind control isn't a designed system, it's just the natural effect of having too much of Chaos's evil energy in you: You turn evil.

You're still you, just evil you.

Sailor V gives me a shocked look. "But there must be a way to save then. Lushun's pillar.. thing, you thought that would work!"

'then'?

Mr Zoat said:
"Most of them, but that required tools that I just don't have here. And I can't get them. Unless you know of a incredibly powerful focus of pure life energy, then we're out of-"

'an'

Thank you, corrected.

and 'math'.

No, in Britain, we abbreviate 'mathematics' to 'maths' rather than 'math'.

It was a concern, but the Heavenly Kings are actually pretty good at dark energy manipulation. One sign that he was up to something, the needle goes into his neck. And they didn't have a better idea.

Chojin Patriarch said:
That throws the time frame a little out of whack, unless she means the local Paul left her in England, only to turn up weeks later in youmafied form...

Ah, no. Not 'turned up for the first time'. 'Turned up youmafied and started killing them'.

Thank you, corrected.

Can someone tell me the MC oath?

Generally:
"This is my cause, this is my fight!
Shine through the void with orange light!
I've claimed all within my sight!
To keep what is mine, that is my right!"

Neither Beryl or Metallia has ever heard of the Evil Overlord List, and Metallia at least would laugh at it if she had.

Not like Paul is all that good at following the List. He turned into a giant snake and ate an energy field larger than his head simultaneously!

It's fun watching Paul just... go down the capes and cowls apocalypse checklist with people. "Do you have this? Will this work? Can we work with these people? This is a long shot, but- Oh, there is? Great, that's plan B. You're all taking notes, right? It'll be on the test later."

He's got quite a few.

First, Orange Lantern's initial oath:

This is my power
This is my light.
Be it bright of day or black of night.
I claim all that lies within my sight.
TO TAKE WHAT I WANT, THAT IS MY RIGHT!

Then, Paragon!Orange Lantern's oath after reaching Orange Enlightenment:

This is my cause, this is my fight!
Shine through the void with orange light!
I've claimed all within my sight!
To keep what is mine, that is my right!

Orange Lantern's oath when fusing with the Ophidian for the second time:

This is our cause!
This is our fight!
Let none who live dispute our right!
Powered by need, our tireless might
Guides all souls with orange light!

Renegade!Orange Lantern's oath:

This is my power, this is my might!
I stand alone in darkest night!
With this ring, my foes I smite!
I conquer all with orange light!

Renegade/Grayven's oath after getting Sinestro-50's ring:

In blackest day or brightest night,
Beware your fears made into light,
Let those who try and stop what's right,
Burn with my power, Prince Grayven's might!

There's nothing Orange Lantern should be able to do unless Zoat rewrites how several things work.

The Silver Crystal is an Infinity Gem level artifact, its so far above anything he's ever dealt with he shouldn't even have any inkling of where to start.

And yet it'll still work. Because deus ex machina don't make sense.

Overlord List Corollaries, #0: If you're going to follow all the rules all the time, why bother to be an evil overlord at all?

Not that he is (except Evaul/Tangseid) but he's a super powered by greed, it sort of applies. Certainly he has the option of having a peaceful life without his ring charge, much like an overlord could just rule a duchy and live in forgettable luxury.

It's a dues ex machina linked to a specific bloodline.

Without that bloodline it's just a magical power source.
