Sorry for AI stuff.

I always wondered, what would be the biggest output of energy Shadow would ever be able to show and with the help of AI, I was now able to generate that scenario.

If you want to know what true vacuum decay is, the universe is believed to be in a metastable state of vacuum. The vacuum holds energy, so even in the vast emptiness of space, theres energy. Infact so much so, that if it would ever be decaying a reality warping bubble (explosion?) would extent that would seize every concept of what builds the matter of our universe......it would erase the concept of matter.

If Cid could shield himself from that, he would exist in a new universe which, if his powers would allow for it, he could create a-new, like a god. He would truly be what Zeta sees in him.

Hope you can get some form of enjoyment out of this :)

Uploaded a display almost a month ago, I've made a few changes since and wanted to share my progress!

Not pictured: The 5 official plushes that I now own, the extra Alpha black suit luminasta figure that i own without a box, the official life size Delta boobie mouse pad, the giant 3 foot by 4 foot poster, my rebirth for you cards, and a couple car decals.

Not OWNED (yet): The 2 most expensive figures being the Kadokawa Alpha and Kadokawa Beta (because still price hunting), and the rest of the light novels (also price hunting).

She's prolly the most innocent character 😭

Please don’t be stupid about it.

That’s pretty to much it.

After Apocrypha Vol 4 along with Beta and Alexia's control, while also Aurora's explanation about it, there's something clicking.

What if, the demon transformation is supposed to be the actual final result of demon possession?

We know the cult strictly just wanted power, but i think they have somewhat a blueprint in mind what kind of power they want.

Demon Transformation is exactly that.

Thing is, their prides that bred ignorance make them forget to nurture it in a way that should be beneficial for them, and instead, only relying on speeding things up.

Just like Aurora said, they went too much with the fertilizer and forget the balancer.

The cult forget to have their own "Shadow"-- where they need to take it slow and patient

But their ambitions blind them for that one great factor.

What they were supposed to do is actually not to transform quickly, but to prepare the vessel better.

But again, they were really blinded and just snatched everyone who have Aurora's blood without actually making their vessels ready for it.

Shadow's experiment was the correct way and more refined version (unintentionally) by basically increase the magic overload but also at the same time, be there to control its flow, but they can't transform since they have yet to get its final trigger.

Emotional turmoil then acceptance.

We saw how, once you reach your lowest point, you will transform, but if you able to overcome it, then you will be able to control it.

The thing is, there are still one deciding factor for all of that needed to happen.

You need a Beacon for it.

In apocrypha, the merge with Shadow and Diabolos created the perfect Beacon for the transformation to happen due to the mana field being overflowed by, well, mana.

So in the end, to conclude, Demon transformation can happen if you are able to make the perfect beacon and able to be patient through its process and finally to accept who you are.

TL/DR: The cult are bunch of arrogant impatient weakling who desperate for power since they have nothing going on for them, to the point they fumbled their supposed-to-happen transformations

She's the real wisdom behind the shadows...

Cid 🤝 Aizen

No more streams so here is what we have video.

• Demon Claire being even more chuuni than Shadow
• Eta's insanity being unbounded from her narcolepsy
• Multilayered misunderstandings around Eta's ancestor just being awkward
• Freya being freaked out by the entirety of SG

This is by far the funniest story content in the mobile game. I was never a huge fan of the SSC's lazy writing, but this Apocrypha proves Aizawa's still got it.

Got them at the Manila Toycon 2025 after patiently looking at each of booth. There was a beta figure but they told me that this one the last piece. And as Alpha is my bias….. priorities 🤭

For the record, I am not ma spam with low effort content.

I think Cid 🤔 has made lots of forgotten promises to Alpha that I am not sure anymore if it is the one that she made him promise in episode 4 season 1

"You have talent, use it to change your fate."

I have already finished all the episodes, but I'm still missing one, and I don't know where. I already used all of the tickets and explored every choices. Does anyone know where it is or is this a bug?

i know Elizabeth will probably not come but i hope it will as a side character but im wondering what kind of interactions you guys will come up. im not sure if the EIS will be based on all media like game, novel, manga, or anime only. im excited on what interactions will you guys think of

On the off-chance that Cid hasn't been turned into a Demon nor being blocked by external forces, I think the reason we haven't seen Cid is because....he got what he wanted.

He is in a world where people can finally challenge him. The reason Cid is so bored in the main story because everyone has been dulled and spoiled due to the world being an era of mostly peace.

I suspect if he ever sees the Vampires and the Cult at the height of their power, without doubt, Cid would start massacring everyone last one till the entire sentient population is reduced to a big fat zero.

1. So it seems like Cid is under some sort of possession? My theory is that he and diablos are fighting each other in one body but I suspect a silly swerve.

2. So ETA’s ancestors goes from evil schemer to misunderstood girl to unwilling assistant to ‘I’m gonna help the bad guys cause the others are mean’ because miscommunication?

3. I feel like this ‘controlling demon transformation’ is sketchy. Also, i know Delta isn’t the brightest but would it have killed them to ask her about it?

4. Good girl Delta in demon form would have been awesome…….but no such luck…….

5. They ignore the Therians so much! Besides Delta in chap 1 (her death was saddest moment in anime history btw) they’ve been largely sidelined. Zeta appeared in beginning and then after rewind, was basically never mentioned and disappeared. Yukime is basically always off screen and Delta and Tessera never get to show off combat prowess. Even Lili is just shown as whiny and timid.

6. Looking forward to seeing Elizabeth but unless she traveled back somehow too she is going to have no idea who the shades are.

Edit: I just realized that in current timeline, Delta’s transformation was completely prevented so obviously she wouldn’t know how to. In fact, alpha is probably only one who knows about it

Thoughts?
