"Not the gods, that is impossible. They couldn't do more than slow down a rank 1 demigod, and anything over rank 5 they couldn't even do that. The prototype anti-god units are a total flop, the units are too unstable, and will likely have to be destroyed, both the chassis and AIs. What they can do is protect people from the rampaging followers. Most of the gods will be issuing orders like 'everything in that general direction must die' or something to that degree. So as long as the shadow stalkers can keep sufficient numbers and have enough supporting drones, they can hold indefinitely. Hence the training against shards from the Beyonder realms. If they can hold those back, they can hold back, if you will forgive the term, 'mere' mortals. And that is part of the purpose of Pleasure Island. Get more information on the other gods, so if they all do jump as anticipated, I will know who will rampage how."<br/><br/>He smiled, before kissing her. "And now you can see why I wanted Kyubbi's people. His learn yours illusions, and yours can learn his combat abilities. That would make both of yours able to defend and avoid as needed. And even if they can't, they will be able to avoid enough to get to the shadow stalkers, who can and will defend anyone that can make it into their compounds. Trying to think of a way to get all the kitsunes out of the Faerie and into a plane they have a presence, but that can wait a bit. I don't anticipate me and the marilith from starting the fun for at least a century, maybe two at the longest. Any longer than that, and I will go on the offensive against her."<br/><br/>He kissed her again, before resting his head against her shoulder. "Anyhoo, I think that is enough of that depressing conversation. I intend to just enjoy the peace and quiet with you, until either tomorrow rolls around, or the minotaurs realize they really should at least talk to us."
