I have done minor corrections to RAKSHA_SPHIIRA issues 01-09. Many thanks to Ryuugi for taking some of his valuable time for this.

No problem.

Issue 10:

Henry lashed at him because he got Takako in a bad mood.
Should be 'lashed out' because Henry didn't actually hit him (at that point in the chapter).

The number, æ100Æ is just a label.
Doesn't need a comma.

This became the core for the entity, BlackTerriermon.
Doesn't need a comma. Try Quotation marks around BlackTerriermon instead.

I donÆt; IÆm better than that, and I love her.
'I don't care', perhaps?

SheÆs quite blunt, and quite picky.
Doesn't need a comma.

I wonÆt say it was because of me or some crap like that: I donÆt think so highly of myself.
Colon should be a semi-colon.

the Pnakotic Manuscripts have been concealed by the higher levels of GCIM, and access to its content is very carefully controlled.
This comma is not needed.

ôThis has to do with the characteristics and a very special code stored within HEMINA_URDR,
Not sure what you're trying to say here. Should probably have an 'of *something*' at the end.

ôTakako doesnÆt really need to keep Gardens of Babylon for longer than a few moments before her poor victim is driven crazy or kills himself. I donÆt think even Takako knows the answer to this question.
There should be an 'up' or 'open' after Babylon.

its effect is just too extreme, and it is strongly rejected by Reality.
There shouldn't be a comma here.

She has only used it once, and we all saw it lasted about four minutes or something.
Or here.

The Alpha G-Team is not a permanent entity, simply because they donÆt have a constant inflow of Supernal knowledge.
Or here.

They already gathered all the historical data concerning the events of the Last Holy War, and the only way they can learn more about Supernal matters is from Supernals themselves.
Or here.

Besides, what makes you think Takako needs to use those æhuman-sized gapsÆ you mention?
Should be 'mentioned'.

As a consequence, LilithÆs Incarnations have slowly changed into a strange new kind of existence, which we could call æMaterialized SupernalÆ.
There should be an 'a' before 'Materialized Supernal'.

Lilith will cease to exist, with disastrous consequences for the entirety of Reality.
There shouldn't be a comma here.

Issue 11:

Once the war was over, and humanity had the time to lick its wounds and recover, only then did the distinction between æthe good guysÆ and æthe not-so-good guysÆ become clearer.
This doesn't sound right; try moving 'only' to the front of the sentence and remove 'then'.

Even if a good part of the Pantheon is not extinct,
From the vague hints you've dropped and the chapter titles in the Chapter Listing, I think 'not' should be 'now'.

figures, nor we have any intention to.
Should be something likt 'nor do we'.

Now she has a huge worship in Scandinavia, but not as a Goddess of Death, but as an embodiment of renewal, restoration and new beginnings.
To many buts. Try removing the first one to make it just 'not as a'.

With the political order we had known since World War II utterly shattered, and Israel itself turned into a radioactive wasteland
This comma is not needed.

Even the most obscure form of worship on a higher power,
'On' should be 'of'.

It took a few years, and the process is far from finished

feeding and awe-inspiring the minds of hundreds of thousands,
Awe-inspiring doesn't make sene in context. Try 'inspiring awe in'.

Even the most heroic actions remain æwithin the scope of normalcyÆ, and people now turn to fiction to satiate their need to worship larger-than-life figures.
Comma unneeded.

This is how fictional artifacts like LovecraftÆs Necronomicon have managed to emerge as actual Instrumental Weapons, and the last æheroic mortalÆ before Matsuki Takato was Jack the Ripper.ö
Same.

The first reference to Satan in the Bible appears in the Book of Job, and the Satan in there was in fact an angel subservient to God, who challenged God on the loyalty of his most faithful human follower.
This doesn't look right, but there's no simple way to fix it. Let me try to rewrite it.

I think this will work:

'The first reference to Satan in the Bible appears in the Book of Job; the Satan in there was in fact an angel subservient to God that challenged God on the loyalty of his most faithful human follower.'

The association between Lucifer and Satan came to be during the Middle Ages, from the interpretation of Isaiah 14:12.
Comma unneeded.

Satariel and his twin, Lahielùwhom you know as Molochùwere two of his twenty commanders.ö
There should be a comma before 'were'.

You said that TakakoÆs death would mean the end of Lilith and severe damage to the universe. But youÆve also said that Takako has an average humanÆs lifespan in Introduction to GOSPEL Chapter 6. Does that mean that the universeÆs destabilization is inevitable?



ôAh, ah, wellàthat particular scene was presenting AliceÆs thoughts, wasnÆt it?ö





What happened to the Royal Knights and Rei? Do they join up with the Archangels after their short lived war? Or are they all eliminated?



ôThose who survived became my Chioth ha Qadesh for the duration of the Holy War.ö
You have page breaks between all the other questions, but not between these two.

If seems to have an effect on some Digimon, yet on others it does absolutely nothing.
'If' should be 'it'.

You said in True Stories 01 that the Quadrants no longer existed after GOSPEL. What happened to them exactly? Did they merge? How did the world deal with the overpopulation and material shortages bound to occur?



ôThe Digital World was destroyed twice during the Last Holy War: once by Huanglongmon and once by Adonamon. Since the destroyed world was immediately replaced by a new one in both cases, the only significant effect was the traumatic modifications of the geography. Digimon never lost their homes, but they were forced to quickly adapt to new ones.ö
No misakes, per se, but I believe whoever asked this was talking about the 'Real Worlds' connected to each Quadrant.

she was still necessary, and Takeru and Pauline were desperately trying to save her
Comma unneeded.

And that's the last of the RAKSHA_SPHIIRA Issues.

Aeternal:

ôTo make it simpler, Aeternal is anything you donÆt know as a Divinity. Demigods, the supposed offspring of Divinities and mortals, are more likely to be Aeternals than Divinities themselves. Japanese culture is stuffed with Aeternals. The oni, the kitsune and the yuki-onna are all examples of Aeternals. Mythological beasts and entities such as chimeras, valkyries, nymphs, vampires, leprechauns and gorgons are all Aeternals with different levels of power. As you already must know, angels, demons, Archangels and Archdemons are also Aeternals. Humans can become Aeternals, too. This is usually the case of historyÆs most epic heroes. There are also legendary and mythological heroes whose deeds become so famous they become Aeternals.ö
Should be in Itallics. Also, in the first sentence, it should be 'an Aeternal'. 'As you already must' should be 'As you must already'.

Basically, an "heroic mortal"
'An' should be 'a'.

Being the mastermind behind the death of millions of anything
Should be 'is anything'.

"Like with Divinities,
Should be 'As with'.

Like with Divinities, every single Aeternal
You can remove 'with'.

Wow, this is embarassing! I completely missed this update. I blame the fact that I've ben both sick and busy for the last few days.

Anyway, <a href='http://drgospel.pbworks.com/w/page/33089878/Rachel' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Rachel</a> is up. Thankfully, it carefully explains who and what Rachel is, her history, and her purpose.

Which is a good thing, since I spent everything up to that information wondering what was going on.

Still, very cool.

<a href='http://drgospel.pbworks.com/w/page/23331727/Timeline' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Timeline update!</a>

The ffth part was added, but the first four were updated, too.

And, in light of this (and because Daneel gave me permission in the SNI Idea thread), it's question time!

Timeline 01 Questions:

?Seder Hishtalshelus existed as a part of Adam since the very beginning of Reality.
SH works be imposing Adam's will on SAMYA_JARA (kinda). But this was before S_J existed, so what did it do? Impose his will on Reality itself?

Lilith develops her original Reality Script, yesh b'ayin û Consummatory Chamber of Oblivion for the sole purpose of protecting her private time with her husband.
What does this do?

Metatron discards plans for a Reality Script, deeming such a thing unnecessary.
Why'd he do that? And why did he never decide to try again after the Holy Wars began?

His research, however, led to the creation of MetatronÆs Cube.
I take it this'll show up in Metatron's entry?

?The subtitle of AdamÆs Reality Script, The Process of Development, is mostly forgotten outside of the Akashic Records, and thus the Technique is more often known only by its name, Seder Hishtalshelus.
What exactly do those subtitles mean, anyway?

As an experiment in Reality Code and manipulation of the Soul, Sandalphon develops Secret Emanation û Only the Humble Survive the End of the World, using principles Lilith would eventually develop independently. Being a code he made ôonly to see if he couldö, this impressive Technique, close to the level of a Reality Script, would end up forgotten until the late 20th Century AD.
What's this do? Is this what allows him to 'limit break?'

Timeline 02:

Adam & Lilith enter an argument concerning who is superior to whom. Adam denies the possibility of equality, unaware that Lilith is mightier than him, even if (because?) he possesses the Agenda of Supremacy.
Could you explain?

Lilith uses Milcarnia_Protocol to escape from Atziluth to the Limbo between the Supernal and the Lower Realms.
It's been mentioned enough times that it probably deserves to be asked; what is Limbo? Lilith went there, Merodach got thrown there, Takato got stuck there, but what is it?

Lilith is defeated due to her reluctance to harm her fellow Supernals. She is condemned by Metatron to be chained down in a forsaken corner of Heaven for ôtime undefined.ö The code which allowed Lilith to escape Atziluth is locked in the Supernal Structures by Sophia, ensuring that similar code will never be executed.
Why exactly is Lilith punished for running away?

?In the midst of their titanic battle, Sophia develops Oblivion û Encyclopedia of Hell: as Many Punishments as There are Stars. Thus, it was she who invented the concept of ôHellö as a place for suffering and punishment beyond the mortal coil. Furthermore, the sheer wickedness of this Technique would inspire the creation of Demon Arts.
What's this? What does it do?

Timeline 03:

òLilith is struck speechless upon realizing that she can no longer use her Reality Script. Struck by the definite proof of the degradation of her Soul, Lilith grieves in her solitude.
?The only remaining reference of the ancient ScriptÆs existence rests in the Akashic Records.
This can happen? How much do you have to change to lose your Reality Script?

?Sophia deletes all her damage-dealing Programs and focuses almost exclusively on Binding Techniques.
Ah, so she wasn't always a defensive fighter. How good was she at offense, before this? Well, good enough to beat Lilith when she had to, obviously, but...

ò~ 450 million years ago: first vertebrates and land plants.
?While extinction is an expected and accepted outcome of evolution, the outrageous extent of this particular event surprised the denizens of Heaven. When brought up before Sophia, the Third Bride declared that it was the development approved by the Supernal Structures. That was the end of that discussion, but the issue would never really be forgotten.
?Sophia was pained by the very first lie she had ever said, but she did not want Heaven to fall into panic upon realizing that the Supernal Structures were suffering glitches due to her poor supervision.
?A relatively smooth continuum of extinction events, both major and minor, would become habitual in the long term.
Can you explain this further?

ò~ 70000 years ago: After a long absence, Lilith meets the other inhabitants of Hell and initiates the Bitter Orgy. The Mother of Demons engages in unimaginable acts of metaphysical depravity with almost all the denizens of Hell, birthing demons almost constantly. For some reason (plain disgust), she does not allow either Moloch or Satan to mate with her, gaining their eternal hatred. The Horde of Hell is once more.
Can you explain why she's so disgusted with Moloch and Satan specifically? I mean, I understand the feeling, but why is she disgusted with them but okay with the others?

I'll save my questions on the other timelines for another time; I don't want to overload you with a bazillion questions, after all.

I do not mind the questions; most of the time they are interesting. Still, the proper thing to do would be to keep the relevant questions in this topic and keep any additional questions in the GOSPEL topic. Then again, I must ask you to keep your curiosity to a reasonable number of questions. Typing the answers takes quite a bit of the precious commodity we call time.
Also, it's not like you have to answer them all at once (as much as my curiosity wishes you would). You can always take your time. What am I going to do; come to your house and peak through your mail slip?



Oh, I should go spellcheck some of the newer entries, too. I'll go through them throughly later, but off the top of my head, I think I can do Reality IDs quickly; there weren't many mistakes.

Reality IDs:

ADHVARA literally means æperson with special privilegesÆ. ItÆs the title the Aspects other than Sophia and Adam get for having created the Supernal Structures in the first place.
You didn't mention Micael, who is an Aspect but didn't create a Server; he might need to be listed with Adam and Sophia.

?A female child born of me, Shekinah or Shekinah gets the title æTOKAR/LILITHÆ, æTOKAR/SHEKINAHÆ or æTOKAR/SOPHIAÆ, respectively.
One Shekinah should be Sophia.

Hello.

Before getting started, allow me to state that I reserve the right to choose which questions to answer.

SH works be imposing Adam's will on SAMYA_JARA (kinda). But this was before S_J existed, so what did it do? Impose his will on Reality itself?
Exactly.

Lilith develops her original Reality Script, yesh b'ayin û Consummatory Chamber of Oblivion for the sole purpose of protecting her private time with her husband.
What does this do?
Basically, it temporarily sent Lilith and her target to a demiplane of sorts, while making it as if they had never existed in Reality.

Metatron discards plans for a Reality Script, deeming such a thing unnecessary.
Why'd he do that? And why did he never decide to try again after the Holy Wars began?
Reality Scripts are conceptually identical to Reality Marbles in the Nasuverse: unique externalizations of the self, temporarily imposed upon Reality. The amalgamation of Soul/Existence/Agendas defines a Supernal and his Reality Script. As a consequence, there's no guarantee that the Script will be useful until it is actually made.

Given that Reality Scripts are so amazing, why don't all Supernals make one? Basically, because it's hard. It implies masterful understanding of Reality, Reality Code, and yourself (remember that Adam did not write Seder Hishtalshelus). Having a Script is, at most, a badge of merit: "look at me and my hardcore programming skills!" There are some, like Hecate, who have the skills to make Scripts, but are wary of what might result from their work. What if it's lame? Or worse, what if it's something terrifying?

And then there are those like Suzie who got their Script by sheer good fortune.

I take it this'll show up in Metatron's entry?
Naturally.

What exactly do those subtitles mean, anyway?
The subtitles are conceptual descriptors. They literally describe the aspect of their self the Supernal wished to exemplify through that particular Program. Keep in mind that "ordinary" Techniques do not have such subtitles. Only their signature Techniques, Instrumental Weapons and Reality Scripts get them.

Could you explain?
At that time, Adam was truly defined by his Reality Script. Using yet another F/SN reference, "his whole life was Seder Hishtalshelus". It's the same argument Gilgamesh used: can you really call that greatness?

Then again, we cannot really say Adam started that argument. Everybody in Heaven bowed to him except Lilith, and people got annoyed by that. Then one day Adam probably asked innocently "why won't you bow before me like the others?", and Lilith took it personally, as her pride is truly immense. What started as an innocent question escalated into all-out argument when Adam assumed Lilith thought he did not deserve the adoration he received, which led to Adam thinking Lilith thought herself better than him. Then he probably said something that really hurt Lilith, and that led her to her departure.

It's been mentioned enough times that it probably deserves to be asked; what is Limbo? Lilith went there, Merodach got thrown there, Takato got stuck there, but what is it?
What separates the Higher and Lower Realms? A boundary, of course. Now, how wide is this boundary?

If you think of the boundary between, let's say, your body and the air around you, you would it is "infinitesimally small". However, it cannot be zero. That would mean there is no boundary at all. That ambiguous "space" occupied by a boundary is what in GOSPEL we call "Limbo". Every spatial boundary defines a Limbo, that's why we explicitly state "the Limbo between the Higher and Lower Realms". There is also a Limbo between the mortal world and the Digital World, for example.

Why exactly is Lilith punished for running away?
Because leaving Atziluth was considered the same as rejecting the Higher Entity. It is a rather zealous point of view, I admit.

òLilith is struck speechless upon realizing that she can no longer use her Reality Script. Struck by the definite proof of the degradation of her Soul, Lilith grieves in her solitude.
?The only remaining reference of the ancient ScriptÆs existence rests in the Akashic Records.
This can happen? How much do you have to change to lose your Reality Script?
It happened to Lilith, so yes, it can happen.

Note that the term "degradation of the Soul" is in fact incorrect, but that is what Lilith thinks happened to her. The Soul is immutable and thus cannot be "degraded". In the same way, the whole "demonic corruption" thing does not really have an effect on the Soul. It's Existence that is "degraded" or "corrupted", but only Adam truly understands Souls and he's not telling.

It has been said at some point that Lilith, while she did not become a demon (because she was not an angel in the first place), was fundamentally changed by her fall from grace and her banishment to Hell. She was still an Aspect of God, but she was no longer an Aspect in the same way the others are. She was an Aspect, but different.

Lilith is meant to represent the passionate aspect of femininity. By separating herself from the object of her passion, by rejecting the object of her affection, she has in a way rejected the very concept of her self.

Even while feelings doubts due to the nature of his Agenda, Adam never ceased to see himself as Supreme. Even after believing she had betrayed her beloved via the Original Sin, Sophia never doubted her feelings for him. Even if she was unable to prevent the Holy Wars and Adam 's misery, Shekinah always stood by his side to support him.

Only Lilith ignored her nature to the extent that it actually changed her Existence. However, after COSMO_INFERIA, Lilith could be said to be "in process of healing". She might at some point lose Gardens of Babylon and recover yesh b'ayin. Or, who knows? Maybe she ends up with something completely different.

Ah, so she wasn't always a defensive fighter. How good was she at offense, before this? Well, good enough to beat Lilith when she had to, obviously, but...
She never packed the punch the other Brides did, but she made up for it with smarts and her insane casting speed. One of the reasons Lilith made Milcarnia_Protocol was to match Sophia's speed at invoking her Supernal powers.

ò~ 450 million years ago: first vertebrates and land plants.
?While extinction is an expected and accepted outcome of evolution, the outrageous extent of this particular event surprised the denizens of Heaven. When brought up before Sophia, the Third Bride declared that it was the development approved by the Supernal Structures. That was the end of that discussion, but the issue would never really be forgotten.
?Sophia was pained by the very first lie she had ever said, but she did not want Heaven to fall into panic upon realizing that the Supernal Structures were suffering glitches due to her poor supervision.
?A relatively smooth continuum of extinction events, both major and minor, would become habitual in the long term.
Can you explain this further?
Mass extinction events were not within the original plans of Heaven for the Lower Realms. The Ordovician-Silurian extinction event was the result of a glitch in SAMYA_JARA. The Thread of Destiny does not only need Sophia's energy to work, it also requires constant supervision, for there is no such thing as a perfect system. Even the Supernal Structures can make errors, and it is Sophia's job to detect them and correct them before they can have a harmful effect on Reality. She failed to do so that time, and she had to make up for it by converting mass extinction events into "a valid, acceptable event in Reality".

Can you explain why she's so disgusted with Moloch and Satan specifically? I mean, I understand the feeling, but why is she disgusted with them but okay with the others?
She's not "okay" with the others; she swallowed her pride to do that.

As for Moloch and Satan, well, have you ever met someone you simply are unable to like, even if you have no reasonable justification for your dislike? That's how it is.

Timeline 04:

?Convinced of the good intentions behind this plan, and impressed by the strong personality and bright intellect of the selected male, Eve agreed to join him in the sexual act. With the deed done, a gleeful Eve left to surprise Adam with what she taught was a brilliant plan. A laughing Lilith spread the word of EveÆs actions to the inhabitants of Eden.
Who was the guy in question, or is he of no importance?

?The majority of MichaelÆs Beni Elohim, who had chosen to Incarnate to accompany Adam and Eve, went along with SophiaÆs mistake and mated with humans, infusing their progeny with Supernal energy. This was the birth of the Nephilim.
What exactly are the Nephilim?

?Via Projection, Metatron descended upon the Garden of Eden to announce SophiaÆs punishment. Eve and her unborn child were to be killed, and Sophia was to return to the Supernal Realms and never incarnate again. Adam claims he will share the punishment with his wife and asks Metatron for it to be diminished accordingly. Metatron does not accept this.
Can you explain this a bit? It seems kind of harsh...

?Desperate to save Eve, Adam decides to draw HeavenÆs ire by repeating her crime. He allows himself to be seduced by a particularly beautiful and bright female specimen and procreates with her, leaving her with child. To his horror, the smirking woman reveals herself as his daughter Naamah. The resulting child is the Archdemon, Asmodeus.
From what I remember, the children of incarnated Supernals don't need to be Incarnations themselves. As such, I'm surprised that entirely new Supernals can be born from Incarnations. Am I correct in chalking this up as 'They were full of Supernal Energy back then?'

Also, why is Adam horrified, besides the obvious 'It's a Trap!'? Supernals don't care about things like Father and Daughter, so it must be something else. I can think of a lot of reasons (it was a trap, she's a demon, etc.), but which was it?

?Adam and Eve are expelled from Eden, their immortality taken away from them. Adam Kadmon will not be allowed to Incarnate again once his current human shape perishes, and his title of Systemic Sovereign was stripped from him. Sophia will not be allowed to meet Adam in Atziluth until a correction to the damaged Evangel of Heaven can be determined. To the Eternal Virgin, this is truly the most horrible of punishments.
This seems kind of harsh, too. Can you explain it?

?Birth of EveÆs first child, Cain. A second child, Abel, would be born a year later, with Adam as his father.
Can you say anything about Cain and Abel?

Timeline 05:

9877 BC: To eradicate the existence of Nephilim before their numbers become too great, the ôcontrolledö extermination of current civilization is approved. Gabriel, who acted as AdamÆs and EveÆs guardian in the Garden of Eden, was appointed for this task, but Michael relieved her of this responsibility. While the extermination did involve a lot of water (it was done by Michael), it was far from a ôworldwideö deluge.
Why were the Nephilim killed?

?A group of Beni Elohim led by the Watcher, Dobriel, challenged Gabriel to stop her from slaying their progeny, the Nephilim, unaware that Michael had taken the job. After a cruel battle, Gabriel defeated the rebels and threw them in Hell, where they were quickly corrupted into Fallen Angels. The exception was Dobriel, whom was condemned to a state of constant Incarnation (similar to Lilith), unable to return to Heaven, and stripped of most of his Supernal power.
Ouch. That seems kind of harsh, too. Can you explain this?

ò3rd millennium BC: Most angelic efforts were focused on the developing Egypt, where unrest was constant and pharaohs strove for divinity. In the mean time, LilithÆs influence swallowed the city-states of Mesopotamia under a mantle of endless conflict and constant warfare. Sophia leaves Raphael to watch over India, and the developing culture and religion there would impress the Archangel immensely. The third wife focuses her incarnations back to China, where she guided the deeds of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Is this why Taichi's techniques are named the way they are?

ò~2700 BC: Lilith is defeated by the heroic mortal, Gilgamesh, and his best friend Enkidu, recovering the Existence of the former Ninlil-turned Instrumental Weapon and allowing the Sumerian goddess to be reborn. For this and their many other achievements, they are awarded with Supernal status upon their deaths.
I meant to ask this before, but how did they manage to defeat Lilith?

Enkidu, however, refuses, preferring instead to become his friendÆs first and mightiest Instrumental Weapon.
Now I'm really curious about IW Enkidu, but can you explain this choice?

Also, if he hadn't made it and had instead become a Supernal, what would he have been like?

ò~2400 BC: History repeats in Sumer. The moon god Nanna, son of Enlil and Lilith (in her guise of Ninlil), becomes a terrible tyrant hungry with power. He is thus slain by the unusual cooperation of Gilgamesh and the Archangel Gabriel.
?Gabriel then goes after Ninurta, NannaÆs brother, believing that all of LilithÆs children are tainted and dangerous. Gilgamesh protects the Lord of the Earth and forces Gabriel to retreat to the Higher Realms.
Since I'm writing about Gil, can you say anything about Ninurta, who he saved? How does the god view Gilgamesh?

ò~2270 BC: Sargon of Akkad defeated Lugal-zage-si of Uruk, took over Sumer, and created the Akkadian Empire. Birth of the Akkadian pantheon.
?Gilgamesh decides to stop Incarnating in Sumer and explore the vast world.
I asked in the other thread, but does Gil's ability to use the powers of the Mesopotamian gods include the gods of both the Sumerians and Akkadians?

What about the Assyro-Babylonian gods?

ò1300-950 BC: Development of the ôAstraö set of Instrumental Weapons by the Hindi pantheon.
I can't wait to hear about these. Gil can copy these, right?

(Also, Gandiva is supposed to be completely compatible with these...what does that mean?)

I think that's enough questions for now, though, so...

Only Horaki Taichi at the moment, though.

We now have names for all three of them, though; Taichi, Mahiro, and Shouko.

Also, we've learnt a number of things.

Originally, there was no way back from the Digital World. This changed at some point, possibly for the simple reason that Digivices and Technology advanced.

Lilith's previous incarnation, Shouko, was ten, or, at least, seemingly ten.

Mahiro didn't die immediately after Shouko ran away; there was some amount of time between escaping from Gilgamesh and his death.

Back then, Horaki Taichi didn't age back in the Digital World. Thisseems to have changed, because Takeru and Taichi seemed to have age in their own time in the Digital World.

Agumon's Mega level is Azulongmon. Sovereign Azulongmon knows about Goldramon. These two points may be connected.

Lots of interesting stuff in this one, mainly because the plot of this book had barely been hinted at.

Anyway, some questions (Just a few; I'll go through it later, but these popped out at me):

?Rika is defeated by Takako. She begs her to spare her daughter, for the sake of TakatoÆs memory. Takako laughs at this, and finally reveals that Arisu is not TakatoÆs daughter, but MolochÆs. Using her dark powers, she makes Rika and Renamon disappear before ArisuÆs eyes. Kotoko, Karen, Jun and Lillia soon follow.
Did no one know before that? I thought she was going to ask Alice about it in one of the Prolouges.

?Lillia awakens at the Blessed Gardens and quickly befriends the plant Digimon there and their leader, Rosemon. SheÆs puzzled by the Alicorn Omnivice sheÆs wearing, thoughà
Hm...Are these a recreation of those Gardens and that Rosemon?

Also:

?Samael has been copulating with Takako every night, hoping to get her to give birth to a new generation of demons. Takako does not intend to let that happen, though. After receiving LucemonÆs report, he beats Takako savagely for her treachery and orders his servants to hunt down the stranded humans. For some reason, Takako wordlessly takes the punishmentàand then kills her guard, Murmur, takes his data, and disappears.
Samael got Annihalated later in the story (I think that's what Daneel said). Is anyone unsure why? No? Good.

<a href='http://drgospel.pbworks.com/w/page/40734469/Original-Chosen' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Shouko is up.</a> The Original Chosen are now complete.

MillenniumonÆs
Hm...are you using the Japanese version? Because the Dub version has two m's at the end; Millenniummon.

While her partner was the first to reach the Champion and Ultimate levels, it was the last to reach Mega. During the battle with Victorydramon PROTOTYPE (the basis of WarGreymon, Imperialdramon and Ulforce V-dramon, plus variations), which proved capable of beating both Azulongmon and Holydramon partly due to MillenniumonÆs intervention, Shouko forced GigadramonÆs final evolution to Megidramon. The rampaging Digimon did not separate between friend and foe, as expected, but Shouko quickly tamed the evil beast. With the three Great Dragons assembled, the group of Chosen Children was able to challenge and defeat Apocalymon. Then came Gilgamesh.
Hm...How is Shouko's Megidramon related to Takato's, if at all? And how did Takako feel when Takato recreated Megidramon?

òThe knowledge that Gilgamesh did not have the slightest intention of killing her (sheÆs an Aspect, after all) only made things more humiliating. The King of Heroes was intent on getting in her way, even if he did not have the smallest idea what she was up to. He would stop her solely because she was Lilith, and therefore up to no good. While she dismissed Mahiro as the child he was, she actually had a measure of appreciation for Taichi, and it bothered her to ôsacrificeö him the way she did. However, getting Gilgamesh off her tracks was more important than anything at that moment.
Is this why Takako's fond of Taichi?

After Gilgamesh, she wandered the Digital World while avoiding been seen.
Been should be being.

When she learned to TaichiÆs final fate from the Zohar data,
To should be of.

Starting on late 1989,
Starting in.

She knew the Digital Hazard she wielded (Omega) was not suitable for creating,
Where did Shouko get the Hazard?

-? ? ? ? Mega-Evolves into Megidramon (Evil Dragon Digimon, Mega, Virus; Megiddo Flame, Hell Howling, Heaven Shattered)
Is this an Original Attack?

(I was just skimming through the new stuff, so I just pick out stuff I noticed. I'll go through the whole thing for real, later.)

Alice did not know, either. Before Takako spilled the beans, Alice believed Takato had spent that night with Rika. Rika believed so as well, so there was no reason for Alice or anyone else to doubt it. Except for Takako, of course.


Hm...Are these a recreation of those Gardens and that Rosemon?
It is, but it's not like Rosemon (well, Rosemon X, but whatever) remembers.


Hm...are you using the Japanese version? Because the Dub version has two m's at the end; Millenniummon.
I always forget the extra 'm', so I gave up and went with the Japanese name. I freely exchange Japanese and dub Digimon Technique names, so it's not such a big deal.


Hm...How is Shouko's Megidramon related to Takato's, if at all? And how did Takako feel when Takato recreated Megidramon?
Not related at all. It just so happened that Shouko's and Takato's partners both could evolve into Megidramon. Megidramon is a unique Digimon: if Shouko's partner had been still alive, Takato's partner would not have been able to evolve into that form. What he would have become instead is anyone's guess.

Takako had mixed feelings on WarGrowlmon's Dark Evolution. As much as it made her giddy to see yet another thing they had in common, it did not change the fact that Megidramon is BAD NEWS, and Takato was at that time a mere human. An extraordinary one, sure, but still not Supernal.


Is this why Takako's fond of Taichi?
It's part of the reason. The other part would be related to the way he died. You could say, were it not for Horaki Taichi's death, Matsuki Takato as he came to be would have never existed.


Where did Shouko get the Hazard?
From her partner.


Is this an Original Attack?
Yes.
