#alipheese the viii

[wyvernseeker]

Seeing this got me thinking:

This is likely saying "Jetstream Sam should have been the final boss of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance." It's something that seems good at first thought but wouldn't actually work in practice.

Quick warning, Monster Girl Quest is the subject I will be talking about, and while no naughty images will be displayed, it's still going to be about an 18+ series, for those of whom are squeamish about that sort of thing.

Alike with Jetstream Sam for MGRR, Black Alice wouldn't have worked as the final boss of the original Monster Girl Quest, no matter how charming she may be to some or how people hate the idea of Ilias foreseeing her and Promestein's betrayl oncimong. They work as one of the last enemies you fight in their respective games, but it would be to their stories detriment if they were the end-all, be-all opponent (MGQ Paradox being a different beast altogether). Since this is about MGQ, let's continue from there.

Black Alice, aka Alipheese Fateburn VIII, is established in-story as the most depraved and evil of the Monster Lords, necessitating the legendary hero Heinrich Hein to stop her tyranny. However, Ilias, seeing her as necessary for her ultimate plan, decides to save her life (likely after Heinrich defeated her). She's established as someone who's power-hungry, sadistic, controlling and manipulative, having recruited several monsters under her banner throughout main protagonist Luka's journey. However, it's evident that while she is powerful, she's merely a co-dragon of Ilias' and that in a straight up fight against her,Black Alice wouldn't come out the victor, hence her need of Promestein using the Six Ancestor's Great Seal to weaken Ilias and then devour her (so as to make use of the White Rabbit drug she's taken in order to become the ultimate being).

Ilias, on the other hand, makes sense as the final boss. Unlike Black Alice, she is actually the cause of the system that prevents coexistence between humans and monsters. Several sorrows and tragedies such as the Queen Harpy being forced to abduct men to prevent her race from going extinct, the slaughter of Remina, the beliefs that led to the foundation of Ilias Kreuz, all of these stem from what Ilias enforces upon humans with the ultimate goal of bringing monsters to extinction. Even things she's had no direct hand insuch as the ultimately senseless sacrifice of Alice's mother Alipheese the XV in the name of coexistence is due to Ilias repeatedly resetting progress and promoting strife and conflict.

As for her planning for Promestein and Black Alice's betrayals, it would be unquestionably stupid to not do so. Even before her flashback explaining how and why she became the way she is, Promestein's meeting with her group the Seekers of Truth has her saying that even a god would have to face their fangs. Speaking of said flashback, that only further justifies why Ilias would need to keep her back guarded until the time was right, as to a scientist like Promestein, having your life's work and research repeatedly denounced and you branded as a heretic would be borderline unforgivable. Plus, as we see with Promestein, while unquestionably brilliant as well, she still isn't infallible, as seen with her complete surprise at Luka being able to use Serene Mind to dodge her attacks even though she had placed a seal on the four elements (forgetting that Granberia can also use the technique despite not having any elemental spirits, even weak ones) As for Black Alice, the fact that she's willing to work with someone who's made it clear in her dialogue that she wants the extermination of monsters and the fact that she is willing to betray the monsters she once ruled over by allying herself with the one trying to commit genocide on them in order to try and rule the world for once makes her no more trustable.

As for the battle you have against Black Alice, it's not as grandiose as Ilias', despite having more phases. Yes, Black Alice can use all four artificial elemental spirits and is even capable of canceling out Luka's should he try to have more than one summoned, but these don't truly imbue her attacks with the elements like we see with Luka, as well as the fact she only uses them in her final phase (and one at a time at that) after she loses control of her powers and becomes a mass of tentacles and flesh (thanks, Setouchi). Not to mention, all three of her phases have only Luka and Alice fight her. Speaking of her final form, the one who will often be attacking more in that battle won't be Luka, but Alice herself, and it's not uncommon to see Alice land the killing blow on her in the battle.

In contrast, Ilias' second and final phase has the Four Heavenly Knights as well as Micaela join in to help weaken the mad goddess, followed by Luka and Alice using a wind, earth, water, fire, holly and darkness-infused Quadruple Giga to finally put an end to Ilias.

Enclosed is one of those large jawbreakers.

One of my friends showed me your blog, and through that, I've seen what is probably only a small portion of this MGQ community. I love everything I've seen so far. What blogs should a newbie to this side of tumblr follow, other than you, obviously?

Well, I guess I am a good person to ask…

So, There’s @goddess-iliass​ and @alipheese-fateburn-viii​… what can I say about them that hasn’t already been said? 

“they’re pure and good, and have my best interests at heart” there, that probably hasn’t been said before.

And @mighty-snake-xvi​ Is Alice the 16th, but she’s off eating, and don’t post often. 

@datheroluka and @heroine-knight are like my blog (So of course I like them) 

oh and I’ve never said before, but I really Like @seekersoftruthpromestein​

@fluffy-tailed-earthquake/@sealedkitsune, @slimetsunami, and @monsterlordquest are your other heavenly knights

If you want a Luka blog, there’s @half-angellukadathero, @the-divine-hero and @ask-the-hero-luka​ (I’m not going to rank them because were all just here to have fun, it’s not a contest)

There’s also @lolinecromancer​, @ask-kitsuneet-and-a-cybele, @unfortunate-lamia​​ (the best blog on Tumblr, no, the whole internet) @yao-the-kitsune​, @necrochrome​

If you’re interested in artists who draw monster girls There’s: @Thundragon @jiffic @ponehanon @critkuke-draws @nohawtgirlshere and @notecstacy

And lastly, Follow @monstergirlquest​. because that blog is very helpful for keeping up with the community since it reblogs everything relevant.

If you’re a Monster Girl Quest blog and I missed you, let me know, and I’ll put you into the masterpost.
