Hey Eternumites!
I have a good
theory about
the final battle of the Eternum. But before that, I'd like to thank
Caribdis for this amazing game. You sir, are a genius and one of the best game developers out there.
Ok. This battle is going to be
THE BIGGEST,
THE COOLEST, and
THE MOST EPIC ONE you have ever seen in any AVN. Every single character Orion met in the game will be on the battlefield!
First of all, let me say this: Although I can't explain how Orion could see Calypso without connecting in Eternum in EP5, I still believe Eternum is
NOT the real world. I mean yeah, we have some clues that they could be same but I'm not convinced
yet. Therefore, in my theory this battle is going to take place in Eternum (
Ogygia server), not in the real world.
There are going to be two teams on the battlefield:
Team Orion:
Orion: The leader of his team.
Nova: The right hand of Orion, and 2nd in command.
Alex: The left hand of Orion, and 3rd in command.
The Other Characters: The real players in Eternum, such as Jerry, Raul, Noah, etc.
The Army of The Syndicate: The members of The Syndicate organization.
The Army of The Roman Empire: The United Armies of Eastern Roman Empire, Western Roman Empire, and Macedonia.
Nancy: The leader of The Roman Armies and the strategist of the team.
Team Thanatos:
Thanatos: The leader of his team.
Axel: The right hand of Thanatos, and 2nd in command.
Benjamin: The left hand of Thanatos, and 3rd in command.
The NPCs: The NPCs of Eternum, including the excommunicated players like Benjamin.
The Army of The Ulysses: The employees of The Ulysses company in the real world.
The Army of The Praetorians: The AI rule enforcers in Eternum.
William: The leader of The Ulysses' Army and the strategist of the team.
The battle will begin with Orion and Thanatos fighting each other on the front line. Nova will fight Benja, while Alex will fight her brother Axel. These fights between the six most powerful players of Eternum will completely turn the front line into
The Hell. I
really can't imagine how epic it is going to be!
Penny is
THE KEY for winning this battle, because of her
healing,
protecting,
buffing, and
debuffing skills. By that time she is going to be at grandmaster level for every each one of her skills. Team Thanatos will remain helpless as long as Penny continues to fight on the battlefield. Hence, protecting her is
VERY,
VERY important! At this point we need
Luna,
Dalia, and
Annie. The one and only duty of this trio is protecting Penny at all cost! By the way, both Penny and Luna are great summoners. Penny can protect her backside by summoning her creatures onto
the gray area, Luna can
also protect Penny by summoning her powerful creatures onto
the purple areas. Annie and Dalia are amazing fighters, too. I'm sure this trio will never have any problems protecting Penny, but only if Thanatos won't attack them directly. So
Orion must
NOT let Thanatos touch any of his team members, especially the trio!
The other characters like Jerry, Raul, Noah, Eva, Maat, Kitty, Megan, Balbus Bundledore, and the Professors of Warthogs are going to fight the NPCs. I think it is safe to say that we may consider the excommunicated players by the praetorians as the NPCs, too. The other characters' main duty is fighting the NPCs, and help
the trio (
Luna,
Annie, and
Dalia) to protect
Penny as much as they can.
We don't know much about The Syndicate organization at the moment, but I think they are quite a large group and are great fighters. Although they hide in the shadows to protect themselves from the Praetorians, this does
NOT mean that they are cowards! I'm pretty sure they have a leader, too. They will fight against the Ulysses' employees by Orion's side under their leader's command.
Nancy is going to lead The United Armies of Western Roman Empire (WRE), Eastern Roman Empire (ERE), and Macedonia as The Empress. She won't be on the battlefield, but will observe the entire warzone under the protection of an elite group of Roman special forces on a high hill during the battle.
Maximo is going to lead The Roman Armies on the battlefield on behalf of Nancy and is going to follow The Empress' orders. This army is going to be the largest unit of Orion's team, and we can consider them as the backbone of the team in both defensive and offensive terms. Their main duty is fighting The Praetorian Army and support The Syndicate Army as much as they can. Nancy is also going to help Orion as the team's strategist. Nancy has already proven that she is great at planning battle strategies in EP6. I don't know William is a good strategist or not, but I'm absolutely sure that Nancy is much better than him in this regard.
Since
Calypso is
The 3rd Weapon of Atlas and therefore incredibly powerful, her participation in the battle will disrupt all balances against Team Thanatos. So I certainly think that she is going to be captured by Idriel in advance to ensure a fair battle. Can Idriel do that? Yes, she can! Because The Founder already told us in EP5 that Calypso was created by
Idriel. No matter how powerful Calypso is, she can
NOT resist Idriel's will. Even If she could somehow do it, The Founder would intervene at once and never let Calypso fight in the battle. The Founder is neither evil nor hypocritical, but is very fair and a man of his word. The only thing The Founder wants is for the person who will replace him to be someone who deserves it. That's why he created The Gems of Doom. Only
THE BEST can take his place and can be The CEO of Ulysses, namely the most powerful man in the real world and the Eternum.
I think there will be two endings for Eternum:
GOOD ENDING (
Orion becomes The CEO) and
BAD ENDING (
Thanatos becomes The CEO). Winning this battle will lead us to the
good ending, but losing it will lead us to the
bad ending. If Orion plays his cards wisely and keeps
Penny alive as long as the battle continues, he can easily win this!
