Why're you thinking you can fool me into believing something false about something that would be unknowable for me to begin with?

It's a forgotten mythology, after all.

Okay, two things. One - no, for the most part we don't know forgotten myths. And two - there's a reason why so many myths like King Arthur and Nobunaga persist across parallel worlds.

Thank you... (smiles) I'll speak for y-you at the next meeting. (heads towards the Main Room, leaving behind one of her potions by accident.)

....?

-Then notices the potion on the ground-

-He picks it up and look off toward her-

Uh- hey! You dropped your-!

(It's too late, Reigen. She's too far away to hear your yelling.)

(The flask Marcia dropped contains a bright red liquid. Luckily, the potion is corked up tight.)

Universes operating by the "every decision spawns a timeline with a different choice" rule would result in too much disorganization, especially when the majority of these timelines are going to lead themselves to ruin through stupidity. Dead timelines that take up unnecessary cosmic space, and thus get pruned.

So, the Root regulates these branching timelines with Quantum Timelocks. Events so important to the world's continued survival, that they are guaranteed to happen across all surviving timelines branching off from the core.

(Link) Ohp - hang on, I'll get to you in a bit.

-He looks down at the bright red potion, looking for a label-

...What is this, fruit punch?

(The label says it's a stamina potion. It's meant to be drunk when the user's feeling tired. The ingredients are also there, but who cares about that.)

Basically, you—

(points to Link)

Are from a different tree, so you've got this Gannon to worry about while we don't. But you—

(points to Stevo)

Are a different branch of the same tree as me. That's why despite how different our worlds are, what with the superheroes and shit, our legends and world history are mostly the same.

I guess that makes sense... kinda.

I dunno.

I'd just as quickly say it's just coincidental.

Darwinian evolution goes by chance, doesn't it? The ancient lifeforms who happened to have what it took to survive were the ones who shaped their descendants. Quantum Timelocks work the same way, but with timelines.

Mmm.

I dunno how much of it is true, personally so...

I'm not gonna doubt what you say.

You're probably a higher authority on that kinda shit.

Like how I don't question my girlfriend on Egyptology.

Well, not literally, gimme what she knows about Egypt. That shit's a bit fuzzy for me since they've always been skewed towards gods instead of heroes.

Well I dunno.

What do you want me to hit you with?

I can't call upon her knowledge from the ether...

I guess I could mention Nodjmet the Sorceress...

One of the earliest examples of a supervillain actually.

I think she got resurrected too... Kinda weird.

But that's Jack Livingstone for you.

He gets into all sorts of archaeological mishaps.

(Stevo) I see, I see... even in your timeline, the Age of Gods is finding a way to return to the surface.
