You can be a bad guy in the Guenevere WIP, just fyi!

Wait, are you guys talking about Guinevere being the Traitor God or just a plain ol’ traitor? Because one is much more plausible than the others, imo.

I think they meant her being Arthur’s traitor, not the traitor god.

plain ol’ traitor…
sigh
It looks like the Salem Witch Trials aren’t going to win. 
Maybe it’ll win in the next flashback poll.

How many flashbacks are we supposed to get in this book if it was even mentioned?

Yep! The prologue says that after birthing the MC she’s expected to leave asap. So she’s probably not around to nurse them either
As for the poll, am sad that 1001 Nights is a distant likelihood. It’s a fantastic parallel to the current Priscilla situation imo out of all the choices
As for the traitor god, Hermes from way back when was the leading suspect. Idk if that’s still the case now but I’m not too surprised if he is.

The working title for Part 3 just sounds so badass. Like there’s probably going to be some Ragnarok similar stuff happening which it probably will though lol

Personally I’m more interested in Part II.

Well it’s been a while but I’m pretty sure there is a legendary artifact that can be used to communicate with the dead. So maybe we find it and use it to speak to our dead bf/gf/bff and Priscilla?
Maybe that’s the plot for part 2?

Mmmmm. Not for the dead. It’s for speaking to your past lives
If anything, if we do get the boon of raising someone from the dead, I feel this is some FMA levels of do not
Oh and before I forget. Mother dearest has been consistent in “this is what I deserve since I apparently have done something horrible,” what exactly do you think she’s going on about? Partially I feel is condemning both MC and Saint to the lives they’ve lead but more than that I feel something else happened
Any guesses?

My best guess would be that she already knows the traitor god (as shown in the prologue) and probably had a vision about it long before the events of the beginning but haven’t done anything to prevent it from happening since she happens to be the Prophet so she probably blames herself for all the chaos that will happen later when there’s going to be a war between Olympus and Cronus

Psshaww, once you’ve gained the power of the essence nothing would be impossible for you, because you wield the power of creation(and destruction) itself! Why would you worry that they’ll came back wrong when you can fix them yourself?

At the same time though, she seems to really hate Olympus and what not. So I’m on the fence on if she’d care that much of the fate of the gods and the world. The damage and all feel inconsequential to her right now since all we’ve glimpsed into are how much she wants out of her situation – like nothing about her seems to want to change/help in particular
Other than Zeus’ offhand comment she was a fundamentally good person, we have no reason to believe she’d want to try her hand in influencing the outcome of this war (especially if you combine the fact that she’s a fatalist as per word of god)
(Though that in itself imo seems conflicting since she attempts anyway to free herself from Olympus despite everything)
So idk. I feel her knowing who the traitor god is and her apparent hatred for Olympus seems too big a gap to bridge for her guilt
Knee jerk theory on my end is she crossed a personal law or code of hers since Priscilla seems like a very internal character anyway (like withdraws onto herself and tries to uphold her own sense of morality but damn if she crosses it – which she did hence the guilt)
Because even the universe operates on the law of equal exchange /shrugs/

Honestly if you asked me what I’d do once I get the Essence, I’d kill everyone and then recreate Earth from scratch. Then maaaaaybe rule over it as the angry god. Maaaaaaybe.
As for Priscilla, that’s a tough call since she’s the most complicated character in the story despite her short time so far. Maybe we’ll get some insight into who she really was instead of having to take Zeus’ word for who she was because it’s clear she hated everything about Olympus

Meh, you’re the forces of creation that brought the universe from nothingness, do you think you’ll be binded by that rule? If you are binded by it, you can just recreate the universe so ‘that’ rules doesn’t apply to you. Simple.

Ah, but the text says that the Essence was the source of power that created the universe, not that it created the universe out of nothingness.
If I’m conceptualizing it correctly, that means that the Essence is at least the energy that expanded outward to form what we know as the universe, but did not create the matter in the universe, the Essence only spurred the singularity to separate into a universe and coalesce into beings and life and everything.
And as with all discussions on cosmogony, the question then becomes, “So where did all the matter come from?” and the current answer is, “Fuck if I know, strings maybe? An alien simulation? Or maybe this one time God was hanging out with his roommate Chuggs and–”
Anyway, I’m going to find a middle ground between @squarelyblue and @Nightgazer’s postulation and say:
-
The Bearer can rearrange the energy and matter (the Essence, if you will) of the universe, and thus recreate or fix Priscilla to their satisfaction, but
-
The Bearer can neither create matter/energy nor destroy them because it would be creating or destroying itself, otherwise known as the, “Can God make a hot dog so big that even He cannot finish it?” line of thought and my head hurts enough as it is.

I have to disagree there, even if we’re just the source of power that something used to create the universe, the fact still remain that it used us to create the universe from nothing, because there’s nothing previously there, no material to transmute, nothing to change, only the cold void of non-existence.
Perhaps I worded this poorly, let me rectify that. I’m of the opinion that we are what’s used to create the singularity that would become the big bang, not the big bang itself (by this I mean we’re not the material or energy used to make the singularity, no, we’re not what the creator changed into the singularity, we’re what used to create it, so we’re not a part of it, nor is it a part of us). Therefore, we have created the universe from the state of nothingness using nothing, because nothing exist before the singularity itself (except the creator of course, but that’s another can of worm entirely).
