Shin Megami Tensei 1

Part 54

In this update.... THE PLOT THICKENS! After endless wandering, that is.

Goin' up.

I said: "Goin' up."

Yay, more pink walls. And a dead end.

Or is it...

That apparently served as a teleport. It made the "falling" noise, though.

So here in Destiny Land, the heroes fall UPSTAIRS.


You are going to see that again and again and again and again AND AGAIN in thisarea. The Destiny Land is FILLED with Luck incenses.

And false dead ends.

Well, that's a change.
The fourth floor is different from the other ones. It had a couple of authentic dead ends that lead to nowhere. And it contains what the party is here to SLAY.

Getting tired of this.
Teleport/fall, find Luck Incense, Teleport/Fall, find Incense.
Bah.

At least it is giving a nice boost to Stamos' Luck stat. Used a couple on Pascal, too, just for variety.

AT LAST, something that shows VARIETY!

Wikipedia posted:

In Greek mythology a Cyclops, or Kyklops (Greek Κύκλωψ), is a member of a primordial race of giants, each with a single round eye in the middle of its forehead. The plural is Cyclopes or Kyklopes (Greek Κύκλωπες). The name means "round-" or "wheel-eyed".

Hesiod describes one group of cyclopes and Homer describes another. In Hesiod's Theogony, Zeus releases the Cyclopes, the sons of the sky (Uranus) and the earth (Gaia), from the dark pit of Tartarus. They provide Zeus's thunderbolt, Hades' helmet of invisibility, and Poseidon's trident, and the gods use these weapons to defeat the titans. In a famous passages of Homer's Odyssey, the hero Odysseus encounters the Cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon and a nereid (Thoosa), who lives with his fellow Cyclopes in a distant country. The connection between the two groups has been debated in antiquity and by modern scholars.

His strength is IMPRESSIVE, his skills not so.

Getting kind of bored of this :P

oOOH, another change!

Hell yes!

BOOOOOOOO.

Oooh, another change. A CHALLENGE!

As you should, it is STAMOS's computer, and thus, cooler than you could ever, ever hope to be.

HAHAHAHA, yeah right.

Oh you demon summoner you, you always amuse me so.

Meh.

Meeeeh.

Hahahahah.

End result: If they were not enthralled by the Magic Bullets, they fell asleep with the Succubus' Dolminer. Easy as pie.

Bwaha.
Take that!

Oooh. Damn right I do.

BWAHAHAH

That door seems suspicious.

...You look like a disembodied head.
How could a disembodied head give birth to Orthrus?
WHY DID A HUMANOID DISEMBODIED HEAD GIVE BIRTH TO A DOGLIKE THING?

Who is "Us"?

Huh.
Really? Tell us more.

That seems like something the mesian asshats would do, yeah  They do. Bastards. THEY DO. 

That would not be good, eh?

Wait, what?

Oh yeah, well, the same can be said of every religion, what is a man but a... Blahblahblah.

Again, one could believe that from the Mesian asshats.

Eeek.

So, all the demons that Stamos and his party have been killing all over the wastelands were once GODS AND GODDESSES?
Well, they have fallen quite a bit then, for a human (even a very exceptional human like Stamos is) to be killing them oh so easily.

Oh nos, not the Spanish Inquisition. No one expects them.

Did such an age ever exist?

Uhh... Maybe not?

Well, the Gaians are asshats as well.

Good for them. Less Gaians and less Mesians = Better times for everyone else.

Bah.

sO?

That is most definitely NOT fine.

An angel that should be stopped then!
Also: In the SMT games, angels are asshats. All of them. Even the s&m ones.

Something that shall eventually be done.

Hell no, it was long enough the first time.

The correct answer to keep being neutral is "NO", I believe.
Why?
Because that way, it'll bring Stamos to be a hardcore Law asshat. Then coming back to Shinagawa and facing the angelic asshat will trigger a choice. Then choosing to kill him will bring back Stamos to NEUTRALITY.

And if it doesn't, oh well, whatever. Whall follow the appropriate path then.

Next update: Going back to Shinagawa, and NOT FORGETTING TO BUY THE DAMN MINIGUN THIS TIME.
