[Nier Automata]

One sunny afternoon while I was having motor oil tea with a Machine Lifeform aristocrat (he had been an aristocrat for about 5 minutes shortly after finding the concept "positively spiffing" while reading), I suddenly became aware Elodie was trying to conceal one of the worlds intersecting this reality from me. I put down my tea, excused myself out the door-and immediately teleported to the space-time junction where this reality was about to overlap with another one.

"Whelp, that sure was one crazy adventure!" said 9S, who seemed to be vanishing off to other worlds a lot lately. "I can't believe that poor Android used to be-"

"Oh? Do tell?" I said.

"I can" said 2E dismissively, "we aren't programmed to do something insane and reckless like absorb a massive amount of D-WAVE energy unprompted. That can only have been a-"

"Yes? Yes, go on?" I asked. Confused by my sudden interest, they started babbling an explanation while I stared holes in the hazy magical girl sparkles concealing the gap in space-time into the world they'd just left. It seemed to be an advanced civilisation under threat by monsters, in which humanity was reduced to scattered populations and a relative upper class inhabiting some sort of Arks.

The primary defence constructs for this civilisations were called...Nikkes.
...
. . .


"Anon? Anon wait, just wait, we can talk about this" said Elodie urgently, manifesting in a poof. "I know things look bad but-"

"Grail" I said with quiet anger. "At once, master" said my enforcer, butting Elodie out of the way as I strode into the other world and thought about-

[Fate/Jumpchain]

"You're a Servant! OBEY YOUR MASTER!"

-and all I had learned in it.

It varies from universe to universe, not just because radiometric dating cannot account for countless factors over the eons but also because the deterministic physics of most modern world Earths result in slight variations. Kind of like how not every Jupiter has atmospheric beasts, or how not every Europa has giant alien sea worms. Generally speaking I’ve found there to be a 0.75 billion year margin of error both ways (erring to be slightly older on average), although there are some extreme outliers like the MCU Earth turning out to be much, much younger because instead of being formed by slow accumulations of cosmic dust a big Celestial just kinda poofed it into being with cosmic power (and put a smol Celestial inside of it, like an egg)

Yeah I vaguely remember the names and the presence of fallen angels implies angels at all but, tbqh, the complete and utter absence of the divine’s intervention in the horrorvoidmonster smorgasbord is not a good look for any potentially benevolent deities in the setting. Based on all available evidence God is either helpless or indifferent to stopping Super Hell gearing up to unleash itself.

>and have proven it completely correct
It can be as correct as it likes while fucking dead and impotent to determine what I do with it’s power. Also it is indefinitely incorrect as long as I don’t lay a finger on the big ball (which I haven’t).
