If you ask Aglaecwif about Ella's plan, she'll tell you this:
"As for why she does the things she does... Cruelty, is one reason. She has a cold, unforgiving heart that despises both your kind and mine. She enjoys seeing us suffer.
Kindness is another reason. She pities those she considers like herself, and desires their salvation, even if it means saving those she despises too, even if it means killing most of those she wants saved."

I'm inclined to believe her given that this information is rated as valuable as 5 strength or 3 skill, and she straight up tells you she doesn't know what exactly Ella intends to do aside from gather the pure hearts of monsters for some dark ritual.
Aglaecwif words fit quite well with Ella's past as Thanos lab rat, where there was much pain, the world cared nothing for her, and the only comfort she would find was with those in the same predicament as she was, which might affect her current mindset.

Also, considering Valravn's few words about Aglaecwif, would it not be implied that she probably knows what the ritual is and the effects of it? Just would never attempt it herself for the uncertainty of the outcome, as it might not go well for the one doing it, and she don't gamble her own skin? I am not entirely sure, and don't have a save close to that.

I know 2d games take time, but how long are time between updates? And how big or small are these updates
3 months seems to be current standard. For content, a week of in-game time? How much in term of literal content I can't say, there might be much reading, thus more playtime, or there might be more art pieces done, thus less time but higher "quality".

And at least 5 different fuckig scenes, that's certain.

Well, WW usually takes between 2 months to 3 to release an update. To give you an example of the length. The Battle of Diamonds and bit after it was part of a singular update. While some updates aren't as long, that's around the length of the current updates.

As for when the update is coming. It should be this week coming up or early next week after. WW is pretty consistent and if he's confident that it'll be out in early December, then that's likely when it'll come out. Especially since tomorrow is December 1st. For some people, it's already December.

I'm liking the story so far, your endorsement was one of the reason I stuck through it, so thanks. Still hate Ella though

What Valravn says is that while Aglaecwif is familiar with sacrificial rituals, he believes her when she says the outcome of Ella's ritual is too unknown for her to have tried it herself. "Old though she is, her devotion is weak, such knowledge might be beyond her". Which is a weird thing to say, because it seems like the point of the ritual was to summon the Apostles, and even if Aglaecwif's devotion is weak it shouldn't be an unknown to her what happens when the Apostles show up. That suggests that there's something else going on with the ritual.

I bring it up because you claimed Ella is the only person who says she's trying to save the world or whatever and we can't trust her because she's a liar, when that isn't true. Aglaecwif believes that Ella is trying to save the world, and we have no reason to think she's lying or incorrect.

Here's what she says about the ritual:
"She alters and wields them as ritual tools, to channel power and conduct ancient rite, both secret and evil. Too dark for even I to attempt, too unknown for even I to replicate."
Seems like she doesn't know much about it.

If Val mentions "devotion" i think he is truly meaning it, in the sense of sharing the ideals/objectives of your apostle and following them faithfully. My example for that is Indra who seems to be the most devout to his apostle, we know that he is a chosen and an avatar, but maybe the ritual is to actually BECOME your apostle, let them take over your body and exist into the material world instead of just manifesting themselves for a time as avatars, erasing the chosen in the process.

It's easier to get a grasp of the scale by going by the implied cosmic hierarchy and downward.

0. God

1. Outer Twins

2. 6 Arbiters

3. 12 Apostles

4. Qliphoth, Great Ocean and other Gods

5. Chosen, Natural Level 5 Superhumans

6. Level 5 Superhumans, S Class Monsters

7. A Class Monsters, Level 4 Superhumans

8. B Class Monsters, Level 3 Superhumans, limit of human technology and weapons

9. C Class Monsters, Level 2 Superhumans, Peak Humans and others with weapons (monsters or tech)

10. D Class Monsters, Lvl 1 Superhumans, Trained Humans in certain situations

11. E Class Monsters, Regular Humans

Outliers who don't really fit in their appropriate tiers are those like Deus, MC, Henri and Duncan. Mostly because it's implied that some of them have unlocked the original traits or at least have dual traits. Deus in particular was said to completely dwarf Nico in power by Valravn, while only being a Level 4, according to Lisa. Duncan has power on par with Level 5 Superhumans. Being able to one shot A Rank monsters at Level 3.

Origin MC is the tricky one. His powers are incomplete but seeing as he claims to have power beyond the 5th evolution, he should be around the same level as the Qliphoth. Being able to connect to his higher plane to give himself near limitless power. The problem then is that if you sever his connection, which Bernhardt is implied to have done, he's not much of a threat. Around Natural Level 5/Chosen level. Deus likely did something similar as well. Whether it be going back in time to sever his connection or going to the Immaterial world. Which we know Deus can do as he's a Time aligned superhuman. One of the powers that have influence over the Immaterial world.

That said, this list doesn't mean everyone else is equal within their tiers. Some are higher while some are much lower. Nyx, for example, one taps Ella and a bunch of others in the Level 5 section. Then there's Eisheth, as a Chosen, who's way below Malik and Bernhardt, the natural Level 5 Superhumans. This is even while being in her true form. Likely landing around Lexi and Nico tier. Lexi specifically being in the middle, power wise, for the Level 5s at HERO. While Nico is just below the Captains (+ Henri and Deus) in power. Lisa being the only other Lieutenant with more internal power than her. And even she can't beat Nico.
How strong is mc gonna be able to get? (Goated explanation btw thanks) btw who are considered natural superhumans?

This is a pretty good list all things considered, although I'd put the natural level 5s above the chosen. I don't think there's anything to imply that Eiseth was particularly weak among them, it's just that Bernhardt is way too strong.

There's also the question of whether or not every natural level 5 would be as strong as that trio. They could simply be exceptions within level 5s regardless of being natty, or maybe having potential as crazy as theirs is a requirement to becoming a natural level 5 in the first place. So accordingly, if all natty level 5s are that strong that placement is too low, and if the trio are just exceptions then there shouldn't be a difference between them and artificial level 5s.

In any case, I don't see a world where the chosen and natural level 5s are of relative power.

pretty neat would make sense for the chosen to think like their apostles and share their goals that way if they do take over the chosen's body then it'd probably go smoother? (Idk with erasing the consciousness/becoming the apostle) neat idea

Natural level 5s are superhumans that evolved to the fifth level without an evolution serum (specifically to evolve to the fifth level, we don't know if using one beforehand has any impact). So far, all three we know are way more powerful than most other entities we've seen, though whether that is because they're all exceptions or if that's a trait common to all natty level 5s is unknown as far as I know.

I see I think somewhere I read that MC went under a forced evolution? (I think the creepy doctor said it was a forced evolution) so if/when we hit evo 5 will we be considered a natty or does that not matter since we are a 50/50 split

That's also how I saw it, also makes sense why Ella trows you before the 4th in on of the dead ends, as a prelude to the ritual for the 4th to take over your soul and reincarnate.
Also makes sense why she does this again should you tell her about your memory trait, I think it was on the wiki stated that whilst all other apostles want their chosen to be as pure as possible, the third and fourth seek a rare 50/50 genetics beetwen them in their chosen ( the MC ).

That's why I said specifically to evolve to the fifth level. Truthfully, we don't know whether or not that'd have an impact, but so far no one that evolved with a serum was particularly weaker than others of their level that evolved naturally, so that has me thinking that either the fifth evolution is a bit special in that regard so the serum can't replicate it perfectly, or that the natty trio are just exceptions in general. Which, at least for Henry, seems to be the case.

It probably won't matter. There are implications that it's not "the evolution serum makes for weaker level 5s" but instead "the evolution serum lets people too weak to reach level 5 on their own do it anyway". The requirements for level 5 are supposed to strengthen you and build your foundation for further growth. Henri says at one point that the natural level 5s were already stronger than the serum ones while they were still level 4. So long as the MC undergoes the trials and rituals (most of which, unfortunately, he has no idea about), he should be strong enough to become a natural level 5 even if at one point he had a forced evolution.
