WAG: Nicodemus is lurking

(1/4) > >>

ellarite:
Hear me out.

It's interesting that Nicodemus and the Denarian Bunch has fought tooth and nail to acquire various religious artifacts.  The same items that Harry plans to use at the end of Peace Talks to fight against Ethniu.

I imagine 2 possibilities:

1.  Nicky and crew foresaw Ethnius eventual arrival and wanted to stop it...OR
2.  Nicky is in league with the titan but failed so badly that the her only choice was to appear early before the Accord Members could officially band together under a new treaty.

What struck me is that the Knights are in play and Butters light saber can cut metal and kill monsters without harming humans.  Which titan just happen to be covered in rare metal alloy?  You got 2 guesses...

Conspiracy Theorist:
You have it the wrong way round the Faithsaber (and the other swords) will cut through the alloy and Ethnui.

Nicky is unlikely to be involved, he really doesn’t like sharing control and is a planner not an opportunist.

vultur:
I agree Fidelacchius is being set up to be used against the Titanic Bronze. Etri says it can't be harmed/overcome by physical force, so Harry's Athame/Spearhead and Butters' Fidelacchius might be the only weapons able to directly harm Ethniu. Maybe Eb could do something?

PT implies the Svartalves have weird weapons, but Etri seems to think they won't be enough.

Yeah, I don't think Nic is going to be involved. He's not an Accords member anymore, and I think he has enough concern for his own skin to stay out of it (if he got instantly vaporized along with the Noose by the Eye of Balor, could the Noose save him?)

Also, Nic only shows up in books divisible by 5.

Conspiracy Theorist:
That means he should be back after the wrestling book, which will be a grail quest (Harry is a completist)

I think all the swords can cut through Titanic Bronze, and the Athame, maybe Gungnir but Odin is otherwise engaged protecting the Never Never, the Swartalves may have Mjolnir, but that would require Thor unless they Dr Donald Blake’d Hendricks ( I wonder if he has his doctorate yet?). Note the new beard. No other weapons present capable. Marcone doubtless has more bullets, but they may not physically go through the Bronze either, more likely he will take out King Corb in the same way he took out Mag, let other Accords members wear him down and then a hero killer bullet through the heart and probably a second to the head. Even Hand is I think quite important from the point of view of Battle Field

The swords of the older wardens can cut through enchantments, but only Carlos would have one amongst the wardens present, and I think they would have problems physically with Titanic Bronze.

morriswalters:
Whatever else the spear may or may not do, it was used to lance the Christ in the side to hasten his death, which I suggest how it will be used in this case.
