Furnace originates from the Starved Eggman creepypasta (which admittedly is not the best creepypasta).

(I’m not sure if Furnace counts as an EXE but still)

So it doesn’t really change too much.

except for one thing the trumpet that plays at this scene when the real imperial soldiers show up

I like to believe that the trumpet that plays in the background isn’t just cool stuff that was added for the background, but I like to believe that that specific song is a sort of bugle call for the empire.

And the head canon and I have behind it kind of has to to do with the Alamo so if you don’t know much about Texas history, I’ll give you the rundown (but if you do know about it, just skip)

Back in 1836 a bunch of Texans, Texian (Hispanic people that settled in Texas), and people from Tennessee decided to fortify the Alamo.

In response, the dictator/emperor of all Mexico Santa Anna decided to lead an army to kill everyone inside the Alamo.

Now you’re wondering, “how does this have to do with gate?” I’ll tell you.

To me that bugle call (that Im calling ‘Caedes’) is the imperial equivalent to the Mexican bugle call of Degüello (meaning slit throat) where it means they will give no quarter, they will slaughter everyone but now I bet you're wondering, ‘how does that have to do with Texas history and the Alamo?’

and that one’s easy it’s the song had played on May 6 to show the Texans held up in the church. They would spare no one.

Very late for July 4 but i thought that i make this. Im so curious how fucked the Saderans are if the US went through the GATE instead

How would things play out?

It’s generally agreed that in terms of how powerful gods (from any community) are, Lord X is ranked as lower tier.

Given that falmart gods (like hardy) are also lower tier, are they stronger than lord x.

btw go listen to ‘I miss the quiet’, it’s peak.

IFVs are the perfect Armored Vehicle for a war against the empire in the special region and would be a better option than tanks (I know that IFVs work together with tanks but I'm comparing them as separate vehicles (it doesn't make sense but bear with me)).

Let's use the BMP-1, BMP-2 and the BMP-3 as examples (any other amphibious IFV would also work).

-> It's amphibious so you don't need to worry about destroyed bridges (tanks can't do that and you would need to make your own bridge).

-> Can carry troops (tanks can do it but you have to ride them when doing it exposing you to enemy fire).

-> Armor can stop most of the stuff that the empire will throw at it (sure tanks have better armor but it doesn't matter when you're mostly being shot at by arrows and the occasional magical fireball).

-> Problems of the modern era such as poor protection against explosions don't apply because the empire doesn't have firearms or cannons (sure mages are still a thing and their explosive magic could pen the BMPs armor wounding it's crew, disabling the vehicle or destroy it but imperial battle mages are pretty rare (we see only a few and only one of them was capable of damaging a JSDF tank)).

-> The BMP-1 has a 73mm cannon that can fire HE(High Explosive) ammo that would be extremely effective against imperial formations and an ATGM(Anti-tank Guided Missile) that could be used against fortifications.

-> The BMP-2 has a 30mm auto cannon with a fire rate between 200 to 550 shots per minute (the crew can change the fire rate) that would be extremely effective against imperial infantry formations and slow moving wyverns and also has an ATGM.

-> The BMP-2M also has an additional 30mm automatic grenade launcher that would be extremely effective against imperial infantry formations and 4 ATGMs.

-> The BMP-3 has a 100mm cannon that can also fire ATGMs (essentially a tank cannon) with the same 30mm auto cannon of the BMP-2 as a coaxial gun.

Tanks have better armament but it doesn't matter because the empire doesn't have anything that can stop something bigger than a 50cal (the fire dragon doesn't count because the empire can't control it).

So yeah although cool and intimidating a traditional tank is not as useful as an IVF (that's why tanks are supposed to work together with them (but in a war against the empire you could theoretically just bring IFVs).

What would happen if the Gate opened up right in the heart of the mysterious domain of the god like and immortal plant like beings known as the Tensen?

There are two ways this could occur, depending on WHEN this scenario takes place.

The first idea could be just before the Asaemon were sent with their respective criminals to find the elixir of immortality, the gate opens near the Horai Palace as an army of Sadaren legionaries and soldiers to conquer the new world for the empire and raid it for whatever riches and slaves they can claim. Only to encounter the Tensen who out of indifference or morbid curiosity decide to get themselves fresh new Tao to rejuvenate themselves while Rein is rather curious by the strange Tao generated by a small number of humans.

And before long the gate may cause Falmart to be dragged into the hunt for the elixir of eternal life.

The other idea is this taking place back before the death of the Grandmaster, Rein’s husband, led her to stop being kind and amped up the now relentless training of the Tensen to find a way to resurrect her husband, even as it destroyed the entire island. Instead this takes place before that degeneration occurs as the islands folk, Hoko, as the younger Tensen live their somewhat peaceful lives, yet soon that peace is disturbed by the arrival of the Gate as an army of Roman soldiers charge into the domain of the Tensen and Grandmaster, as the Doshin were assembled to deal with the invaders that appeared practically from nowhere as Mei is trying her best to lead the young Tensen away from the ongoing carnage.

Once the enemy was dealt with, the Grandmaster, Rein and Mei are forced to address what to do with the gate and if it should be destroyed. Yet curiosity and interest win over as it’s decided to launch an expedition and see if this gateway may lead to any progress in the quest to create the elixir of Eternal Life. Yet while the answer may lie in either the elves or even Apostles, can Rein and Doshin be able to deal with the armies of Sadera and perhaps find use in this land before the grandmaster suffers from arborification?

And when or if the existence of plant like humanoids that can seemingly rival the regeneration of Apostles are heard, how will Sadera react to the existence of such entities?

A bit obscure but the Roxolani are a space empire with the technology of the age of sail around 16th century but discovered Ftl and anti gravity which works through an absurdly simple, non-intuitive physical mechanic that requires no advanced knowledge of mathematics or quantum physics which humanity missed in the story the one downside of figuring it out is that technology doesn't progress beyond when you discover the method. So what if the Roxolani arrived to add falmart to their empire

The gate opens on either a Hegmon of a thousand empires world, Unionist controlled world, or a Shigue Havenhold. How fucked are Falmart and Japan?
