Soon™Every time someone asks this the update gets delayed another week.
I wonder if there's something unique about that fairy because it seems to be the only monster that actually cares for it's spawn. I'm stoked for the next update. Hopefully it'll be more lore than actionI get the impression that the Ether is being formal when it speaks to Alice.
Descendant of the Sixth is describing her heritage, and Granddaughter of the Ether is describing her place in that heritage.
Heir to Space is describing the origin of her heritage.
It's all still pretty open to speculation at this point though. I'm sure we'll get to know more as the story progresses.
The next update has been described as more casual, but by meeting with the Blue Fairy and MC's dad there might be a decent amount of lore revealed soon.
The Blue Fairy at least should be able to give some counterpoints to the information we've learned from Valravyn, and since things have gotten pretty intense in the MC's life his dad might finally come clean about some of what happened to his mom.
End of this month most likely, but at the very least within this month.Any idea of when the next update will come out?
I mean I feel like there are other monsters that care for their spawns, regardless if it SEEMS friendly or not, we don't actually know their real true purpose. For all we know they seem to "care" so that they can mold them into whatever tool they want.I wonder if there's something unique about that fairy because it seems to be the only monster that actually cares for it's spawn.

You bring up good points. Maybe we get the semblance of "care" from the fairy because it's one of the select few that can actually communicate with us. I would like to think that the 3rd and Mommy 4th "care" about us beyond their goals, but that seems like wishful thinking at this point.I mean I feel like there are other monsters that care for their spawns, regardless if it SEEMS friendly or not, we don't actually know their real true purpose. For all we know they seem to "care" so that they can mold them into whatever tool they want.
I thought this about the 3rd and the 4th, as they seem to always show some semblance of care even when infecting you they timidly approach you, with one even sucking you off and THEN infecting you. This applies to Demi's monster saving her from being strug up as well. But then there are other monsters like Michael's which practically almost eviscerated him just trying to give him his powers, in an almost mindless goal oriented manner.
Back to my point; the 3rd and 4th may seem "harmless" towards us even in Dead Ends (despite their overwhelming presence), or saving you from the 1st, but what if they're just trying to keep you unharmed so that you are a suitable vessel for their Arbiter/Origin to possess? There's a high chance that their nurturing presence is there to influence you in a corruptive, manipulative manner to fit their goal down the line, whatever that may be. Their loyalty has never seemed to be for you, but for either themselves or others of their kind higher up in the hierarchy.
-Angelina's monster wanted her milk and disposed of her when she wasn't needed anymore.
-Oscar's wanted to slaughter him and his family.
-Aglaecwif wanted you to give her a child.
-Kenny's Monster used him to get a stronger spawn for breeding.
etc. etc.
I'm not particularly prone to just believe they have our best intentions at heart just because they are hyper intelligent and SEEM good at face value. I mean shit, the Fairy almost killed everyone if Klaus didn't flee fast enough it probably would've, Alice included. But that's just my take though, Corruption seems to be related to monsters and their influence over your nature and sometimes actions be it through power (Jake's thoughts coming out of you) or the way you carry yourself (lack of morals, communicating with monsters, praising God, etc.). It's definitely not a POSITIVE thing for yourself in the longrun imo, unless your goals aligned of course.
Despite me loving the sleep around corrupt kill anyone who gets in my way route, if the 3rd or Mommy 4th want me to just give up my body so stupid ass Origin can get itself killed by Deus again or so Ella can have her way with me in her plans; I say FUCK that. As much as I love Ella, I plan on forcing some answers out of her and THEN deciding whether or not I want to help, in the meantime we can play cat and mouse if she fucks me on the side with her friends and keeps the game entertaining. If the 4th thinks a blowjob is worth selling my soul to some giant fuckin Eye for whatever monster politics they got cooking, I'm sorry to say but I'm not THAT religious, they'll have to revive their God another goddamn way, "caring" for me be damned.
Deryl's circumstances showed us a possibility that makes the monster motives very complicated, even if the resolution could be fairly simple. Let me explain:I mean I feel like there are other monsters that care for their spawns, regardless if it SEEMS friendly or not, we don't actually know their real true purpose.

You too make good point GT as alwaysDeryl's circumstances showed us a possibility that makes the monster motives very complicated, even if the resolution could be fairly simple. Let me explain:
The facts:
1) Deryl turns into monster.
2) By instinct he empowers his clone with his humanity.
3) MC beats monster Deryl badly, depleting almost all of his power.
4) The empowered clone returns to the whole and manages to reshape Deryl into a human.
5) Deryl thanks the MC for the beating, claiming that it was catalytic to that outcome.
If my point isn't yet clear, it seems that the power differential can allow the human side to win over the monster side. We had that indication since power protects the superhuman from monsterification during evolutions, but Deryl is proof that the interaction is more complicated than that.
A level 2 MC is for all intents and purposes, a weakling. So if he allows the Eye to be reborn, he gets dominated and absorbed by it.
What would happen if a naturally evolved level 5 with huge reserves of power allowed the Eye to be reborn? Would the same scenario repeat or it would be the opposite, MC dominating and absorbing the Eye?
Ella seems very insistent on MC becoming strong. She has high hopes that MC, who had his powers for a few months, will end up surpassing her in power which is odd to say the least. But even if it's possible, what's the damn purpose? We know that she doesn't just want the Arbiter to take over MC thanks to the Deadend. She wants MC to fight and choose his own fate. She says so during training 33.
This is all speculation but one of my theories is that Ella wants to create a god with a human-first agenda. We can't know the why. Perhaps the monsters are meant to win if things don't change, or perhaps there is some other apocalyptic event on the horizon and humanity will need the extra power to survive. Perhaps it's something more complex and more "neutral". But whatever the reason, for the superhuman to become god, they would need to inherit the power of an arbiter and a connection to the "higher plane".
The reason why I said that monster motives can be complicated, is because if that's the case, then why would they wait for the superhuman to reach level 5 and be able to resist them or even absorb/consume them? Perhaps monsters don't have the sense of self that humans have. Perhaps they don't care if they retain their agency or if they just live on in the superhuman's genes.
This is a bit of a hard sell.
Alice calls the entity grandfather. Alice is the Ether's granddaughter. So the entity should be Ether.
The entity calls the Fairy it's wayward son. Apostles created monsterkind, so the Fairy can never be the son of an arbiter.
This means that this entity can never be more than an Apostle. So it's either the Sixth or something below it.
For your theory to be correct, someone must have made a mistake.
Space may be the name of Alice's power, although I doubt that it's the power of the Arbiter.
There's still a hard limit to how far you can travel at light-speed. Beyond a certain point, space itself is expanding faster than light can travel and any light emitted today will never cross that divide. It's called the cosmic event horizon. If a light-speed traveller attempted that journey, it would be trapped between two receding galaxies unable to reach either.Lastly, for those who travel at the speed of Light, time pretty much freezes. For the observer it would be too slow, but not for the Apostle himself. A photon doesn't experience time. The moment it's created, it also reaches it's destination, no matter how many light years it traveled.
Maybe you're right and the Ether is just overly formal and a little egotistical.I get the impression that the Ether is being formal when it speaks to Alice.
Descendant of the Sixth is describing her heritage, and Granddaughter of the Ether is describing her place in that heritage.
Heir to Space is describing the origin of her heritage.
It's all still pretty open to speculation at this point though. I'm sure we'll get to know more as the story progresses.

It's a Dead End scene you get with 25+ Corruption. You have to pick "Yes" when meeting with the Eye/Origin during your 3rd Evolution.did the MC fight Deus or Alexis?
becoz I didn't get those scenes
Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should've been.
...you missed a paragraph. You know, the one that ends "I think the Ether is the Fifth Apostle." Either you didn't read it or you didn't address it, which is a shame because that was the point.
You thoroughly debunked "the Ether is an Arbiter" theory but I didn't think of that one. You did. There isn't a single mention of an arbiter in my post. Maybe take a look at that paragraph and then we can debate what I actually wrote and not where you assumed I was heading. Not going to lie, I was very fucking confused.
At that point I thought the matter was closed, so I continued with the Arbiter stuff.Me said:Alice calls the entity grandfather. Alice is the Ether's granddaughter. So the entity should be Ether.
The entity calls the Fairy it's wayward son.
and I will use Occam's Razor because it makes the most sense to me. If I can prove that the Fifth is not involved at all, either by himself or through the relation to his Arbiter, I don't need to theorize that Space is connected to both the traits.You said:Space could be the Original Power unlocked by the traits of the Fifth and the Sixth!
There are four types of monsters. Infected, Natural Born, Variant and Uncategorised. We can probably take the latter out consideration.Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I should've been.
At that point I thought the matter was closed, so I continued with the Arbiter stuff.
So let's make this as formal as possible.
For your theory to work, the following thing needs to be true:
A descendant of a Fifth can create a spawn that is the descendant of the Sixth. Or to generalize it even more, a descendant of any Apostle can create a spawn that is the descendant of it's twin.
This is the hard sell. I'm willing to overlook the MC getting both traits because he got infected directly by an Apostle and had an accident which left him scars that look extremely similar to the Eye who is the Arbiter/Origin. But for this to happen with a descendant's spawn basically makes any conversation on the matter completely pointless because then what's stopping any "bastard" monster that has 1% of some Apostle passing on the original trait?
Additionally, monsters can "read" who the MC's parent is, no matter if he got both traits. He is the son of either the Third or Fourth. Not both. So the "genealogical" tree should be respected. WIth these in mind, I claim that the following statement is true:
Axiom 1: An ancestor of a descendant of the Sixth is either a descendant of the Sixth or the Sixth himself.
A)
The Entity says that Alice is Ether's grandaughter.
Alice calls the entity grandfather.
Result: Entity is Ether.
B)
Fairy is the ancestor to a descendant of the Sixth.
Axiom 1: An ancestor of a descendant of the Sixth is either a descendant of the Sixth or the Sixth himself.
Result: Fairy is the descendant of the Sixth
C)
The Entity calls the Fairy his son
B Fairy is the descendant of the Sixth
Axiom 1: An ancestor of a descendant of the Sixth is either a descendant of the Sixth or the Sixth himself.
Result: The Entity is either the Sixth or a descendant of the Sixth
D)
A Entity is Ether.
C The Entity is either the Sixth or a descendant of the Sixth
Result: Ether is either the Sixth or a descendant of the Sixth.
At that point I think it's fair to assume that the Entity is in fact an Apostle, which means that Ether is in fact the Sixth and not a monster descendend from the Sixth.
And since (hopefully I didn't misrepresent you) you accept my argument that there is no Arbiter involved, then there is no reason to assume that Space is connected to both Fifth and Sixth. Technically I can't prove that Space is not the combintion of the 2 traits, but the only reason I'm mentioning this is
and I will use Occam's Razor because it makes the most sense to me. If I can prove that the Fifth is not involved at all, either by himself or through the relation to his Arbiter, I don't need to theorize that Space is connected to both the traits.
You forgot Nico was a fresh Level 5 as well. She reached Level 5 a bit after the MC evolved to Level 2. So only a few weeks before Ella did. That says more about Ella than Nico to be honest. Especially since Ella is the spawn of the 3rd Apostle while Nico is only the spawn of Hex.So I fucking FINALLY completed my replay of the game, to revel in whatever details I can retain, this will cover everything AFTER Deryl's Evolution (in addition to Aglaecwif). I'm gonna try to use the spoiler sections so I'm not cluttering half a god damn page bear with me.
