ROUND 20 - Shinarato vs Not Alex "You understand why we're here, right?" the Pope said. "We are here to test the limits of evolution." The bakers' trick had no effect on the Ant. "We do not have a respiratory system like the one you know", the Pope explained. "I can't detect suffocation, not like this. Why would you choose me?" "I'm trying to figure out what the good matchups are", said Shinarato. "Clearly I'm lacking in biology classes. But I think the system is rigged against me, I'm just a baker." The ant walked around, and pondered. "I don't think it is. I've been looking at the list of fights. A Greater God lost against an Eldritch God. That Eldritch God lost against a spaceship. That spaceship lost against - get this, a Goblin with a knife. That Goblin lost against a Broken Elf in a straight fight. That elf lost against me." Shinarato played with his bread. "And the takeaway is not that you're at the top of the food chain, but that we're in a cosmic rock-paper-scissors?" "I would like to be at the top of the food chain", the Ant pointed. "But I don't think the rock-paper-scissors is intentional, rather, it's a consequence." "A consequence of what?" "Like I said, to test the limits of evolution. Forced evolution. The kind of which cannot be achieved by natural means. The foundation is taking our archetypes to their limit. It's impossible to know who's gonna win." The baker pondered how could he possibly win against a God for a brief second, before the Ant cut his head off. His losses gave him that power, and he could only ponder fearfully what this loss would give his opponent.

ROUND 21 - AJ_Impy vs Dog Kisser "You're a lawyer", Niceo said. "You realize that even my kindness has limits, right?" he followed. His expression was not that of amusement. "Well, if I made a mistake, then I made a mistake", Smythely replied. "Kill me then, and enact your sense of Divine Justice." "You can't sue me, ogreling. You can't threaten me either. You cannot harm me, so what possibly do you hope to achieve here?" the God entertained. "It is true my job exists to deal dirty deeds, but such dirty deeds are wrought out of necessity, a necessity born by the lack of an absolute moral compass. There may be those who believe such, but their belief does not bring justice to those who have been injusticed. There are those who hold to their hearts that their deeds and misdeeds will count, but such beliefs do not fix society. No matter how strongly one believes in their form of dualistic cosmology, those beliefs can only be enforced but by ourselves." The God sat. "I see. You seek an audience, then? I am not responsible for the issues you face on your world. As I've told others, yours is the work of Lesser Gods, and it's not of my position to interfere with them. I answer prayers that go unheard, and that is risk enough." "So you do acknowledge that there is wrong", the lawyer said. "Would things be different, were they in your power?" "Things would not exist", said Niceo. "I see no reason to create sentient Petri dishes." "But you allow them to, does it not fall within your ethics to intervene?" The God thought for a bit. "The standards to which you hold your dogs and your horses are lesser than those you hold your own kind", he said. "You could extend the life of a horse with a broken leg, or a dog with all manners of disease, yet many of you choose to put them down. Do you consider that more or less ethical?" "Are you saying it'd not be unethical for you to put us down?" retorted the lawyer. "No, that's not the point. The point is that those among you who think of creatures more intelligent ponder if your interests and concerns would affect them, if you can barely communicate with creatures less intelligent than you. I posit that you can, in fact, communicate with them; you can understand the needs of your dogs and pets, and form a rapport, and while there might be a linguistic barrier intrinsic to your species, I do not think it bars you from communication. But that communication is very superficial and not interesting, and in that regard, the analogy is right. I'm communicating with you like you play fetch with a dog." "That may be the case, but I believe the contents of ethics to be broader than the spectrum of humanity's intellect", the lawyer replied. "Elephants are perfectly aware of them on an intuitive level, and so are you. Would you consider it beneath you, then? You do things out of benevolence, surely you cannot contradict yourself here." "You're right, but what is your point?" "That you and I are the same. We are operating under constraints and questionable ethics, while others hold onto us to do a justice that will ultimately not come. Except, you have the power to do more than I do. People with more at stake than you sacrificed more to do less. We may not be your petri dish, but we are still a petri dish." The God replied that he is limited in what he can do, although the politics and the whys of that are too complex for a quick explanation. "The easiest way to convey to you is, I do what has the highest value in the long run. If I do too much, then I'll find myself in the position to do nothing. Surely you empathize with that, since, as you said - we're the same." "Well," the lawyer said, whilst adjusting his tie, "would you at least agree that, given the difference in our circumstances, letting me win would, for no cost, yield the highest ethical value in this situation?"

ROUND 22 - BraveLittleToaster vs Grey Face "I've been told you are wise, old man", the Orc said. "In your wisdom, how do you see your death?" "My, hopefully in a bed, warm, and surrounded by those who love me", the master said, in jest. "Very funny, but I'm afraid we'll have to settle for a random element breaking your body at the hit of my axe." "Does it have to be random? You're an agent of chaos, aren't you?" "I am." "Wouldn't it be more chaotic if you decided not to kill me?" The Orc laughed. "I'm not stupid. I know you'll try to tell me impactful things, but even for you that was dumb, old man." "Is it? You do know that XAOS is in the contest, right?" The Orc squinted his eyes. He had not checked the records. "You jest, old man. Is this the best you got?" "I propose a gambit, one that will aid us both. You lose, and you check the records - then you'll see that XAOS himself has lost a few matches that were in his favor, because that's what true chaos is about. I win, and you gain favor with XAOS. You become attuned to the true essence of chaos by doing the unpredictable." "What if you're lying?" the Orc inquisited. "I could kill you and then check the records." "The table of choices here are - you win against me, which will advance you softly, and then you check the table and see that I'm right. However - in doing so you will be doing a deterministically positive choice." "If you lose here," he continues, "then you're making a gamble instead. The uncertainty of this decision adds to the true chaos. The leap of faith only seals the deal. If I'm lying, nothing stops you from fighting me again, and kill me slowly out of spite. So, how about that?" The Orc pulled back his axe. He scowled, and spat on the ground, before chuckling. "You're wise, old master. Let's see if I will benefit from your knowledge, or if you're a charlatan." "Beware old people in a line of work where many die young", the Orc thought to himself. Maybe there's wisdom in the common sayings too. As the Orc walked away, he suddenly turned back and slashed the mentor's legs. The man grunted in pain, as Grey Face laughed. "I see. You taught me well. There's no chaos in blindly following your order either. You played your hand well, now I play mine." The Orc dropped his axe and laughed.

Tell me, how can I fight better?" "It's not fighting better that with which you should be concerned. If anything, you should be fighting worse." The powerful warrior looks confused. "You come for wisdom. Were wisdom easily obtained, you'd not be surprised by it, would you?" "I suppose not. Still, you say things that are antithetical to my belief as to how this is supposed to work." "Sit", said the master. "Eat." "The contest favors not the winner. The contest favors the popular." "I don't understand", replied Theantero. "The viewers cannot influence us, or give us gifts, or vote on us." "Yet, it's not their popularity that matters. It's among the other contestants. You opened the show by defeating a Greater God, mighty warrior." Theantero looks pensively, paying attention. The master continued, "the Meta here is not about whether or not you can win, it's what you have to offer. We do not know if we are to be judged by our wins or losses, but we know that our losses give us progress. Those who tried to shut down the other mighty warrior among our ranks only fed him and made him stronger." "I see. It's not who I choose to fight that matters, but who chooses me." "Correct", the master said, sipping from his Tea. "Otherwise I'm gonna have exactly one encounter during every Act. The system is rigged so the weak grow strong. The prey will become the hunter", Theantero concluded. "We do not know what is there in store. But I have my suspicions that things will not be as obvious as we think. And if the meta is to change, then who is to know who will be at the top." Theantero acknowledged. He stood up, and nodded. "Thank you for your words, old master.
