Arthur Penhaligon vs Akron

[Monarch_Laciel]

I place all blame if this goes wrong squarely on the head of Hl3 or Bust.

Rightful Heir to the House, the Keys of the Kingdom, Master of the Lower House, Lord of the Far Reaches, Duke of the Border Sea, Overlord of the Great Maze, Commander in Chief of the Glorious Army of the Architect, Master of the Middle House, Ruler of the Upper House, Lord of the Incomparable Gardens, and the Secondary Realms

vs

Some kind of angry blob god

Speed equalised. Immortal Arthur, and he will be using the Seventh, Sixth, and Fifth Keys here - in other words, it's Arthur as he is just after he claims the Seventh Key from Lord Sunday.

Sadly, I have no head for the blame to fall on

Anyways, what is Arthur's opening move and his counter to either power and soul succ or space-time-eating black hole spam

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Arthur's conscious opening move in this form tends to be physical attacks like giant laser beams and pillars of fire. He eventually moves onto verbally activated EE.

However, the Keys all have their own Instinctive Reaction where they will use their powers to attempt to protect him from attacks, including by striking back at the attacker.

His counter to soul succ is that souls most likely don't exist in his verse so he doesn't have one to get succ'd, his counter to power null is several layers of things getting power nulled and things resisting that power null, the Seventh Key standing on top of all of them, and his counter to space-time-eating black hole spam is the keys most likely immediately repairing or maintaining space-time to protect him.

Elaborate on souls not existing

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

A piece of 2-A god that made everything from a void of nothingness says it didn't make any afterlife, once you are gone, returned to the void, that's it, and it only kickstarted the physical reactions that got the universe up and running.

 

[Hl3_or_bust]

Beams may or may not be subject to Akron's element changing, same with fire. EE works afaik

The power suck also steals his powers, hence the name. Those keys also have to be faster than Akron's own passive black hole, which is another one of the space-time eating ones. All of his attacks also instantly kill Arthur or possibly the keys themselves, since it works on things like robots and constructs.

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Death hax from the Keys also works on robot sentinels so they'd protect against that too.

The Keys give Arthur the Regenerationn and healing to repair his body from damage it might take from space-time being ripped apart around him, and he can survive in a void that erases everything in it for a time anyway, so he'd have enough time for the Keys to fix the world around him even if the hole has already ripped him apart when the fight starts. They also might just straight up prevent the black hole from forming in the first place, that's definitely within their power.

 

[Everything12]

Isn't the Wiki's opinion that by default every verse has Souls unless it's specifically said they don't, and not having a afterlife doesn't seem reason enough to say they don't have them.

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Default unless there's something saying otherwise.

The god who created the entire multiverse out of a void of nothing saying that when you die, that's it, you're gone, there is no life after death, seems like a pretty good example of something saying otherwise.

Small necro, but i'd say Arthur takes this with ease, especially with the 7th key at his side, Akron is at threat of everything arthur can do, including flat out telling the keys to just insta kill akron, any magic would most likely be nulled by the keys, the keys negate immortality and regen, so Akron wouldnt be coming back within a day
