* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: [[spoiler: Origin, disgusted by how the world has gone, cuts off three of the Gods who sided with the Demon Lord from their power, leaving them to die. However, this gets turned back on him in the finale. When the whole world is bearing witness to what their god truly is like, they begin to denounce him, causing his powers to quickly deplete.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: The Chief Goddess, after being tossed out of Heaven, chooses to use the remainder of her powers to contain Origin's attempted TakingYouWithMe. It works, but ends up burning out all of her power as a goddess, rendering her mortal.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler: Upon realizing that the world's creations could begin harming him, Origin decides to pull one of these, which is Lampshaded by Sif referring to it as "pulling a Sore Loser Protocol". The inhabitants and Disgaea crew then launch an attack to try and disrupt it. It works, but it tears open a rift, which ends up sucking in Nelius.]]

It worked, but the lock had a final trap meant to kill whatever broke out. Revenant managed to live via fusing with the remains of the other souls, inheriting several of their memories and skills, many of which were put to good use.

* EnemyMine: When Revenant proves to be quite the problem, the Demon Lord and her husband later team up with the Disgaea crew to put him down for good. This reaches a peak when the Chaos Gods end up rampaging about later on, as humanity and monsterkind reach a much better unity through survival.

Cue a human gaining incredible powers as a hero, and slaying the Monster Lord.

Then Kurosugi unleashes the holy-eating beasts onto an unsuspecting mankind, and we find out later they can become stronger ala [[{{Anime/DragonballZ}} Cell]]. Next, Revenant gets a body again and launches a bloody campaign to kill the Demon Lord (and comes very close to succeeding). Even when Kurosugi and Revenant's attack is stopped, his soul is then used to unlock the Chaos Gods' seal, and they cause more than enough damage. Finally, just when it seems that things could be on the way to improvement, the original Chief God shows up, ''kills'' the Monster Lord and her husband, and then forces one last battle. The battle is won, but Nelius gets lost in the resulting warp and the Yoshitsuna has a long space journey ahead, not to mention that the MGE-world is in need of rebuilding...[[/note]]

[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13218395/1/Dimensional-Gate-Screwover Dimensional Gate Screwover]] is a crossover fic between the Monster Girl Encyclopedia, and the {{Franchise/Disgaea}} series, written by Master CVG and crossposted to Fanfiction.net, the original story written on the Monster Girl Unlimited forums.

Following his ill-fated battle against [[VideoGame/DarkStalkers Jedah Dohma]], the unintentional dimension-hopper Nelius Raoul finds himself crash-landing into a new world, one where all monsters are female.... and that an old evil from his side of the cosmos isn't quite dead yet.

Story is rated M for violence and character death.

!Tropes within this story:

* AncientEvil: Revenant is this, constantly reincarnating as a new Demon Lord after his downfall at the hands of human heroes. After his second incarnation, he had begun leaving notes for his future incarnations to use, and they proved invaluable. His NearVillainVictory prior to being sealed was on the cusp of turning into TheBadGuyWins.
* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler: The Original Chief God wants to enact a Class 5, followed up by replacing all life with newer, more obedient forms. When it becomes clear that the current inhabitants and the Netherworld bunch have no intention of dying, it gets cranked up to Class 6, and threatens to escalate to Class X. However, as the Netherworld crew are all capable of the same level of power...]]
* ArtificialLimbs: Nelius gets one shortly after his left arm is chomped down to its bones and muscles in defense of Epsilon. Given that Epsilon was about to die (and thus all information she had would be lost), she ends up using the last of her strength to magichange her body into his arm! This ends up having ramifications further on.
**BadassTransplant
* BigBad: The main one is Revenant, albeit assisted by Asagi Kurosugi.
**BigBadDuumvirate
** BiggerBad / ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: The original Chief God, whom is NOT happy about the way the world has gone in their absence.]]
* BackFromTheDead: According to some files late in the story, Kurosugi, as punishment for her scheme in Prinny 2's Asagi Wars, was going to be soul-killed, as in rendered DeaderThanDead. She had been imprisoned in the Underworld pending her execution, but managed an escape thanks to her supporters hiding out and gathering resources.
** Revenant is also a case of this, not only reincarnating but eventually he cheated imprisonment and death.
* CuteMonsterGirl: A given, as this is the Monster Girl Encyclopedia. Epsilon, being a Desco-Unit, also counts.
* EldritchAbomination: The holy-devouring beasts. Revenant later uses one as a base for his new body... and then during the EnemyMine situation, fuses with two more. The Chaos Gods also deserve mention.
** Due to the warping powers of the aforementioned Chaos Gods, [[spoiler: Nelius gets hit with a concentrated blast of their power, causing him quite the number of issues down the line as he becomes a gigantic, mutated incubus. Later on we learn that Epsilon's soul was also affected.]]
* EnemyMine: When Revenant proves to be quite the problem, the Demon Lord and her husband later team up with the Disgaea crew to put him down for good. This reaches a peak when the Chaos Gods end up rampaging about later on, as humanity and monsterkind reach a much better unity through survival. [[spoiler: The Original Chief God was livid when this came to pass, and so hastened their final plans... which ironically gave humanity and monsterkind even more reason to unite.]]

*** ViciousCycle: Which, to her credit, the Demon Lord was trying to stop. Too bad for her that her attempt just replaced one problem with another.

[[spoiler: This is a deliberate mandate from the original Chief God, whom mandated that humans and monsters must fight each other so they couldn't unite under common causes.

** Downplayed with the Zipangu region, whom has managed to live alongside the youkai of the region long before they took their new forms... and while some are grateful to the Demon Lord for their new forms, they do note that her ways would lead to issues down the road.
* FallenAngel: This is what happens to angels that get corrupted too heavily in the original setting, and of course there have been many in the Disgaea setting, with Female Healers being implied to have descent from them. [[spoiler: The replacement Chief Goddess is unceremoniously turned into this and cast out of the Heavenly Realms. She ends up heralding the final arc.]]
* FromBadToWorse: The story events sum up as such for the MGE-world.[[note]]At first humanity was doomed to a slow extinction due to the Demon Lord's influence (monster/human interbreeding only produces more monsters). Then Kurosugi unleashes the holy-eating beasts onto an unsuspecting mankind, and we find out later they can become stronger ala [[{{Anime/DragonballZ}} Cell]].

The battle is won, but Nelius gets lost in the resulting warp and the Yoshitsuna has a long space journey ahead, not to mention that the MGE-world is in need of rebuilding...[[/note]]
* GenderBender: All monsters of the MGE got turned into females when the Succubus Lord took power, influencing them to be much like herself.
** OneGenderRace
* {{Gendercide}}: This gets pointed out as the main problem of the Demon Lord's plan, as humans and monsters interbreeding only produces more female monsters. Even if several human men were to be influenced and granted longevity, they'd also be facing inbreeding problems.
* InterspeciesRomance: Another given, due to both source materials. This trope is averted as far as crossover romance goes, as the Netherworld crew has no interest in staying on the MGE world beyond the story's events.
* MedievalStasis: Due to this, it made getting things to fix the Yoshitsuna Warship a royal pain, and thus forced the point of recycling things from within the ship to fix it back up. It becomes a serious plot point [[spoiler: when it's revealed that the Orignal Chief God has deliberately kept this as the status quo so to keep everyone [[GodsNeedPrayerBadly forced to pray to them, thus forcing faith so as to keep existing]].]]
*NamesTheSame: Chief God is more of a position / title than an actual name.[[spoiler: This is used as a plot point when the first Chief God, a.k.a. Origin casts down the replacement Chief Goddess as part of their plans.]]
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: All that Origin had to do was wait about fifteen more minutes for the Netherworld crew to leave before enacting his plan, then he could've had free reign to do as he pleased with the MGE world. Instead, when he tossed out the replacement Chief Goddess out, her trajectory nearly hits the Warship Yoshitsuna, catching their attention.]]
* NoNonsenseNemesis: Revenant is this, and Kurosugi shows elements of this as well.
** Deruella attempts to be this, but soon realizes that she's way out of her league.
* NoodleIncident: How did Tomoe find herself having to fight off four Dullahan at once?
* NormalFishInATinyPond: By all rights, the Disgaea people are more than capable of straight-up erasing the MGE-verse in a single move. It's only the prospect of going home that keeps them from flat-out going full blast.
* OutsideContextProblem: This is apparent on both sides of the conflict, as the Disgaea-based crew and their abilities are utterly alien to the MGE, and vice-versa. Revenant and Kurosugi's tactics, alongside the holy-eaters also prove to be this for the MGE, as the source material states that all monsters have a connection to the Demon Lord... but the holy-eating beasts don't. [[spoiler: As it turns out, the holy-eating beasts were a new creation by Origin, with no connection to the Demon Lord. This not only let them run rampant, but the Demon Lord's ability to turn monsters female is given a NoSell by the creatures.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: What happened to Revenant prior to the story. His most recent form was killed, and during the events that lead to the current Demon Lord taking the throne, his soul was locked away.
** IAmLegion: Downplayed, but present, as Revenant convinced all the other imprisoned evils to merge with him to escape their prison. It worked, but the lock had a final trap meant to kill whatever broke out. Revenant managed to live via fusing with the remains of the other souls, inheriting several of their memories and skills, many of which were put to good use.
** Another sealed away menace was the Chaos Gods, locked far down in Poseidon's domain. [[spoiler: After his death at the hands of the combined forces, Revenant expended the last shreds of his soul to undo the lock. It takes a combined effort to re-seal them before they get too far out of hand.]]
** A brief mention later on shows that the holy-devouring beasts were sealed as well, [[spoiler: but eventually subverted as they were outright newly created to try and cleanse the world.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: The soul of the child. [[spoiler: He was a former member of the Heavenly Host, but after having witnessed Origin perpetrating the cycle, he was forcibly reincarnated.... and every incarnation would have something horrible happen to him. Kurosugi had his soul and soulless body, but lost the latter during a scuffle early on, and then the former managed to escape. As both ended up with the group, and as Ada was keeping tabs on him, he decides to help the fractured Heavenly Host find a better way to cultivate the world.]]
** The Disgaea people prove to be this. [[spoiler: As they've got an entirely different viewpoint about the conflict, they point out various problems with the Demon Lord's agenda, thus leaving the seeds for new ideas. Combined with the aformention child actually listening to these new ideas, this begins the world's rebirth.]]
*StatusQuoIsGod: [[spoiler: Origin wants to reset things back to the pre-Succubus Lord days, so as to keep humanity forced to deliver faith to him. This ends up backfiring due to the aformentioned SpannerInTheWorks mentioned above.]]
* VillainTeamUp: As mentioned throughout this page, Kurosugi and Revenant. A brief snippet before Revenant undoes the lock on the Chaos Gods' prison details how they met.
*WeHaveBecomeComplacent: The Demon Lord realizes this is what caused her downfall, as after fending off the weaker Chief God, nobody had proven strong enough to challenge her, and her transformative energies simply converted any human heroes that did get close. Revenant being able to subvert both points does a number on her.
*WhatAnIdiot: The Succubus Lord gets called out on her plan to rewrite the world's rules through acquiring power alone and throwing her changes at it. To her credit, she does manage some changes, but ultimately her efforts cause more problems than they solve.
** [[spoiler: Origin outright calls her a failure for not realizing that all she has ensured is mutual destruction for both humans and monsters, right before both her husband and she are unceremonoiously killed.]]
*YouCantGoHomeAgain: Initially, the Netherworld / Celestia people whom were assigned to investigate this world found that due to differing magical rules, Dimensional Gates wouldn't work, forcing them to go under the radar. Carl later jury-riggs a gate spell that does allow for quick travel around the world, but ultimately it's the Yoshitsuna that allows them to finally leave the world and return home.
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: Origin says this to the many gods that sided with the Demon Lord, and of course to the current Chief Goddess.
