Alright, I finished this update. I see my speculation came true, in reference to the MC being under the influence of Emma's power or scent as it's now dubbed. The game hinted at it heavily so it was pretty on the nose. For some people, that might just make them hate her more because of it. For me, I'm mostly fine with it. The MC hints that he might be doing it to her too, unknowingly, and already copied her power.
Now, really getting into this update. The whole reveal about what happened when the MC went to hell and how they worked to find a way to get him back. This seems just about what most expected, or at least I did anyway. My problem was never that they didn't try to save him though. My problem was that the MC basically lost his vigor and gave up. That ending gives me a bit of hope that he's just suppressing it all.
Now to the reveal of Dad aka God. I feel like "God" did what he did because of the MC's power. The MC would potentially break the established balance and wreak havok if he was able to copy God and Emma's power. So why not take his wings and lock him in hell before that happens? Only problem is the MC escaped said fate. Not saying this is the only reason he sent him to hell but it wouldn't shock me if he saw a future of the MC copying everyone's power and going mad.
On to the Ghost and Azazel thing. The Azazel stuff is interesting but I dislike Ghost and the fact that he's able to take over our body. Whatever, or whoever, he is, I hope we can get rid of him because I'm not going to let someone else proxy me while being condescending about it.
That's about it. I would say I liked the update. I did enjoy that ending fight against Zak(Azel). The MC cutting loose and spiralling out of control was great. I also might be falling in love with Luna more and more. As for Nyks and her new look(?). I think it's fine. She's definitely more busty than I remember. I still hate her for what she did though, even though I understand why.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to the next update. I've pretty much accepted that the MC isn't going to completely be on some Lucifer/Devil time anytime soon, if at all, in game and that's okay, for me. I just hope that he starts fighting back against them more instead just rolling over and accepting everything.
