Huh what was behind that other door that gave him that much power? o.O

You'll see in a few pages.

Excellent. :3

So... because he stopped Elder's teen pregnancy, the dude is a child killer?

That is one hell of a reach. Considering the setting, I could have imaginged all kinds of far more plausible and better reasons for this joker to have a grudge against the leadership of the place - it wouldn't even have to be that complicated - but wanting to kill everyone over making him lose his teenage crush? really?

Yep, that's the kind of psycho Elder is.

I hope that we get to see a flashback to how/why he got ousted as a leader of the new city - because my point was sort of that simply having a petty grudge like that from one's teenage years, doesn't really make sense for a murderous villain who wants to take over the city, especially not when he calls the new leadership of the city fascists. I'm missing the context of those allegations. "Hi, I'm the villain right now because I call you evil and I don't mind killing and hurting people" - it makes for a very shallow character who doesn't feel like much of a threat.

Hell, if he was a former leader of the city, why wouldn't he still have connections that could get him inside the city? he got discovered the moment he stepped inside. he should have known that was going to happen. Not a terribly convincing case for presenting him as an actual threat.

And yet I have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with someone like this in real life. A sociopath doesn't make sense, they consider the smallest slight against them to be high treason. An Incel comes to mind. "You stopped me getting a girlfriend, you are now my enemy for life and I hate you with every fiber of my being." Surely you've heard the horror stories of Incels going on shooting sprees because they couldn't get their dick wet, right? Insanity is insidious and nonsensical, and to me, Elder seems like the perfect example of a total Sociopath.

Well, he is based on a real life person.

You might be missing some context. In chapter 1, Elder is shown to be just a guy who's willing to manipulate anyone to get what he wants, so it's implied that he never was a rebel leader, that was all a lie to get Kintsugi and Lazarus to trust him. His only target always was Rayco, he doesn't care about anything else.

hmmm fair point

If she was really his love/desire/wish,.. named like you will, it is from Elder's view plausible enough.
And motives doesn't must be plausible from us view, it must be plausible from the culpriet view to explanation for his doings I think.

That trash can is super sus.

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one

Norbak's going to have a field day with Elder.

Yeah this dude is all kinds of irredeemable, I look forwards to seeing him reduced to smoking crater.

Thats...a hell of a leap. I mean we're talking Dare Devils wouldn't be able to make that kind of jump!
Elder's definitely a level of sociopath, that would have caused me to do something very permanent to stop him

Yes, Elder? You have a 9:00am appointment with Death that you're currently late for. Your attendance is requested.

OWO that was Terrible, Such physical strength!!!
That second door had a Bioelectric Generator Behind it..
At this point Can they Physically STOP ELDER!!??
He must be Almost Unstoppable!!

Oh that...you know, this is where I would be tempted to Deus Ex Machina some unfathomable or godlike character into the scene just to shut Elder down enough for the others to outright humiliate him.

I loathe people like he represents. It hits far too close to home, and I tend to fire back with banned arsenals.

Did I mention he is based on someone I knew in real life?

Nope, which means this is theraputic for BOTH of us I suspect.

Don't let him get off easy lad.

Jeez...at this point elder needs an adamantium straightjacket in a nanotube latticed prison with 24/7 nullifiers online around him. and that's just to make him safe...i'm not sure helping him is possible at this point.

Hmm, was kinda hoping for a bit more of the robots powers but he hada natural turn for how the character was presented. Looking forward to seeing elder do some damage

You'll see a lot more of what Lazarus can do in the next chapter.

that trash bin is sus

You don't get to see what's behind doors number one, two, three, or four.
