Alinua is possessed by Life, Erin is possessed by Void, and Kendall is either possessed by Vash or is possessing Vash’s body (depending on how you look at it). Falst isn’t really part of their group yet.
Erin: Okay, time for me to show off. This is going to be awesome. Dramatic, cinematographic, perfectly staged, terrifying. My next actions will go down in history as the most amazing battle ever. I’m going to take him out with style, all the while telling him how lucky he is he’s not battling the even more dangerous parts of me. Time to shine. Time to be amazing. Time to–
Alinua (or the life god or whatever’s behind Erin): Nope, my turn

Erin: DO YOU MIND?! IM TRYING TO DO A COOL ANGSTY THING!
Life Mum: You can angst speech after mummy is done with the evil doctor
Erin: FIIIINE
I literally just said “Oh my gosh” out loud , I was not expecting that to happen. I can’t wait for the next chapter as always. This is the best birthday present ever.
I really appreciate kendals speech to falst in this chapter. Yes some things make us different, and acting like it doesn’t or that it doesn’t matter is inherently unsatisfying. But people can accept you for who you are. People will care for you, and want to learn. We shouldn’t have to hide because some people are pricks.
Are we sure Shirii isn’t still absorbing the ambient lightning magic? Because Erin’s thunder has been stolen again! (ba-dum-tss)
… I’ll see myself out.
Kendal hitting the important points that the acceptance Falst would achieve, like the spells he was trying to cast, would only be skin deep. Kinda fits with his conversation with Alinua at the end of chapter 6; caring and understanding between people, regardless of species and circumstances, is the way to go.
Anyone here played Pokemon Sun and Moon and know of the Tapu’s special Z-move? I feel something like that is about to happen.
YEY! Erin is still feeling semi-useless, and we also confirmed that void magic cannot be vacuumed up. Two birds with one stone (kinda)
Also if you really want to incapacitate Erin I think all you have to do is pull one arm away from the other so he can’t touch his tattoos
ALSO ALSO panel two is lovely
I wonder how much control Alinua has right now. Remember that chimeric plague explosion back in chapter 2. I have a feeling this particular clearing will have a mutation problem for years now :/
I am not so sure about that. Her outbursts don’t really seem to cause long term wide reaching damage. Even during her first outburst all that happened was that the plants she was changing becoming slightly damaged. Her magic doesn’t really work like the chimaera plague she supposedly suffers from.
Erin:I will now dramatically take you down, while showing off my incredible Elemental Magus magic
Life/Alinua: OUT OF MY WAY YOUNG’LING LET MAMA LIFE SHOW YOU HOW ITS DONE!
Erin:
Erin: Why do I even try?
Erin: haha I’m the most powerful mage imaginable
Red: hey cool also here’s three super-warriors, two Primordials possessing people (one is you!) and two chimera masters, and you know what fuck it some gods as well
Maybe since all the rest of Erin’s magic got sucked up, the only thing left was void and that’s why it almost took him over? Like, the rest of the ambient magic in his body suppresses void?
Another theory could be that Erin subconsciously (because I hope he isn’t stupid enough to do so on purpose) wanted to use Void because he couldn’t use any one of the other elements.
Kendal: *very heartwarming message*
Alinua: Keep going sweetie! Pay no mind to me p͘͢o͡ù̸n͢di̸̸̸n̛g͢ t̸h̸̡͟is̨ f̸̛o̴̢͘o͡l҉͜ ̛i̸҉n̡͠to̵ ̷̨͠t͝hę͘ ͘g͘͞ro̶̶̷und̶̢͠
Ooooh boy this page was a ride. That “how will you find each other if you hide from the world” line got me. I nearly cried. Then went straight to some serious vitriolic rage from Erin. That expression in panel 7 is gorgeously potent. Only to be IMMEDIATELY upstaged by some super fun life primordial smackdown prep. I probably laughed too hard at Erin’s face in the last panel. It’s been a long day and I need sleep. Thank you for this page.
Am I the only one a little concerned that Kendal refers to himself as a thing? Even in this very heartwarming speech, he doesn’t see himself as a person. I can definitely see that causing problems in the long run.
He unleashed something all right. Congrats Dr. Jolon, you unleashed the rage of the FREAKING LIFE PRIMORDial. I hope Alinua takes Dr. jolon’s life magic away permanently.
Lol Erin continuously thinking of himself as the most dangerous member of the team when he’s accompanied by the a guy with the physical capabilities of a god and someone who can seemingly directly channel the life primordial is so funny
Poor Erin, one-upped once again. I feel like it’s going to be so cathartic for him when he finally gets to show off without any interruptions. As long as showing off doesn’t mean unleashing VD.
Also, what a great moment between Kendel and Falst. I love the epiphany look on Falst’s face. He’s showing the same feeling I’ve felt when something just suddenly clicks and you get a new perspective.
TL;DR: Corpse floof continues his inspirational speech and, with the danger noodle yote, Nerd floof is able to free himself. Walter is satisfied with that arrangement, but Pink floof still has a *couple* points to express.
See, people keep making this mistake of thinking the person who has the power to heal is The Healer, The Support, The Heart, what have you.
I’m starting to think Alinua is a Powerhouse. 🙂
Vidi: You seem backed into a corner and lifes vessel is unconscious, what if I just…
Falsts: *Yet the snek*
Alinua: *Starts healing*
Vidi: Dang it
Erin: Heck yeah, me time!

oh dear, Alinua/Life’s pissed
Hey look! its life mum!
Erin’s face, welcome to my collection of amazing Aurora faces!
Erin makes the best faces.
True dat
If it just me or does Erin have pointy ears.
It’s just you.
Actually, it does look that way on the 7th panel. Still, it’s probably just a trick of the light
Dr.Jolon: Is done with his villainous monologue and has resorted to glaring at our protagonists
Alinua: So you have chosen … death
Holly fuck Alinua
language
Beautiful, beautiful lies, Erin ?
Should be more careful with your wording when your group is full of possessed people.
It’s only half full, literally. And he is one of those possessed persons.
Alinua is possessed by Life, Erin is possessed by Void, and Kendall is either possessed by Vash or is possessing Vash’s body (depending on how you look at it). Falst isn’t really part of their group yet.
But is it half-full or half-empty?
Well we’ve exchanged “void arson” for “life vandalism” I’m not sure which is worse
Life vandalism is generally an easy fix, Void arson is not.
Void arson introduces a new problem while life vandalism just fixes the old one. Void arson is definitely worse.
Might I suggest the alternative, “eco terrorism”?
Well, the other 2 options are “angry kitty” and “paragon demigod,”which can have more feelings involved.
Always suggest superior options!

woop this was supposed to be a reply to Architect of the Stars
Omg. I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
What a very human thing to say
As a person I agree that it is indeed a very human thing to say
That is because I am a human! I am most definitely not an alien invader-
As Red said in the Journey Animated “What Ho fellow humans! Do you enjoy having skin today?”
I literally just said “Oh my gosh” out loud , I was not expecting that to happen. I can’t wait for the next chapter as always. This is the best birthday present ever.
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! 😀
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!?
Happy Birthday!
When you try to be a badass but your incarnated goddess friend steals your thunder. Poor erin.
I hate when that happens.
Hmm yes so relateable I totally know what that feels like
erin didn’t need a hand but alinua gave him one anyway
Hello? I want to report traffic of illegal puns…
A very large hand too
I feel as though Kendal’s dialogue is going to be used in a certain subreddit again. https://twitter.com/AuroraWebcomic/status/1324608013626445826?s=20

Kendal has the “motivational speech” part of being a protagonist down pat.
Jolon’s in trouble.
“also, we’re all oddballs in one way or another here
Erin: It’s my moment to-
Alinua: GET OUT OF MY WAY
MOVE I’M MEGA-FLOOFY
There’s always a bigger fist.
…
Wait.
?♂️
Quite NSFW comment, but I have seen that movie.
Poor Erin NEVER gets to properly show off
He has the best wild takes, though
Are we sure Shirii isn’t still absorbing the ambient lightning magic? Because Erin’s thunder has been stolen again! (ba-dum-tss)
… I’ll see myself out.
Kendal hitting the important points that the acceptance Falst would achieve, like the spells he was trying to cast, would only be skin deep.

Yes, this comment, it’s shocking
Ah quite thunderin’ puns we got ‘ere
You could even say these puns were electrifying.
Eh, they don’t really spark my sense of humour.
Well, they are quite striking, you have to admit.
This comment arc reminds me of a conversation in Firewatch.
I hope these lightning puns don’t start a wildfire…
Wow, Kendals speech really hit the feels. Respect Red, that was amazing.
Also, can’t wait to see Life go to town on the good doctor.
haha life lady go brrr
Erin: luckily for you, i didn’t have to pull out my badass evil side…
Alinua: MAXIMUM LIFE PRIMORDIAL POWER!
Or possibly just FULL LIFE BODY!
YEY! Erin is still feeling semi-useless, and we also confirmed that void magic cannot be vacuumed up. Two birds with one stone (kinda)
Also if you really want to incapacitate Erin I think all you have to do is pull one arm away from the other so he can’t touch his tattoos

Damn, Alinua is PISSED. She will once again outclass Erin by a mile.
I wonder how much control Alinua has right now. Remember that chimeric plague explosion back in chapter 2. I have a feeling this particular clearing will have a mutation problem for years now :/

Erin:I will now dramatically take you down, while showing off my incredible Elemental Magus magic
Life/Alinua: OUT OF MY WAY YOUNG’LING LET MAMA LIFE SHOW YOU HOW ITS DONE!
Erin:
Erin: Why do I even try?
Also, does this mean that my Alinua like Aziraphale theory from a few pages ago came true?
I really want Falst to join the Friendship Gang, they’re in need of a rebellious rogue who don’t play by the Jade Emperors- I mean society’s rules.
HOLY SHIT!
I think that Alinua/Life’s annoyance takes precedence right now.
Erin: haha I’m the most powerful mage imaginable
Red: hey cool also here’s three super-warriors, two Primordials possessing people (one is you!) and two chimera masters, and you know what fuck it some gods as well
Who is the third? We’ve got at least two powerful/strong misc characters that exist but which one are you referring to?
I was referring to Kendal, Falst and Tess.
Maybe since all the rest of Erin’s magic got sucked up, the only thing left was void and that’s why it almost took him over? Like, the rest of the ambient magic in his body suppresses void?
Or Walter just noticed Alinua was out of commission and saw an opening
Another theory could be that Erin subconsciously (because I hope he isn’t stupid enough to do so on purpose) wanted to use Void because he couldn’t use any one of the other elements.
Erin: *Edgy Line*
Alinua: MOVE ME ANGY!
Now we all wait for Alinua to go full Life primordial, and Erin to go full VD UNLEASHED
I was referring to Kendal, Falst and Tess, but upon reconsidering I possibly should’ve mentioned “Michael” as well
Was supposed to be a reply, posted this by accident, can’t seem to find a delete option. Can a mod help?
SHE WOKE UP
ALSJSLJDJKAASJKSHRJLASLDJDHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEWEEIE
NOOOOO ERIN YOU ALMOST DID SOMETHING COOL OR USEFUL KM SO SAD HE ALWAYS MISSES HIS SHOT
Erin: -trying to be dramatic-
Alinua: .-so done with this BS-
Kendal: *very heartwarming message*

Erin – *Trying to be and sound badass*
Alinua – “Hold my orange juice.”
Erin is gonna develop a real complex if Alinua keeps upstaging his attempted badass-hero moments.
NANI!?!
ohoho jolon prepare for the divine bitchslap
wait who’s the other sig? was it me but really tired? is it someone else who coincidentally picked the same user as me?
ooooo, I’m LOVING the disability parallels with these two!!
