The Appearances thing
I had a really hard time trying to understand what your saying here but I’ll try my best.
So for one I think your asking why am I assuming Marduk is on the Moon from the beginning?
- we know The moon is the peak of the hierarchy. We know Marduk is at the peak of the hierarchy. We also know Marduk
Did Not ascend with the rest of the cast but was still present on the moon because it is verbatim stated who had ascended;
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9, given this it really isnt to far-fetched to conclude he’s been on the moon before the IC’s.
And even if I go under the assumption that he did in fact ascend with them I really don’t understand why your assuming the moon is > Marduk.
But regarding Marduk being born in the hierarchy, yes that’s true, and I shouldve also explained that, but it’s explained by Marduk not having been at the top of the hierarchy when hewas born. To get to the point
here is the relevant scan. When Marduk was born he didnt instantly ascend to the top or whatever, he started slowly absorbing everything around him at first and then eventually encompassed the entirety of the hierarchy, being of the same physiology the same would apply to Ashur . This all takes place before the main storyline. However them appearing within the hierarchy after they had ascended is interesting. For Ashur its prettty simple given his instance was not him appearing within the hierarchy but him just telepathically communicating with the characters (
scan 1 scan 2 scan 3). For Marduk who appeared a lot more times it’s a bit more complex however if you give me the specific scene ill explain it.
