if they had the ability to make a warp drive, they would’ve had enough knowledge on fucking with spacetime to actually do something about the rift? If the warp drive worked something like the xenonauts warp drive works (make a hole in spacetime to hyperspace, making it exist in 2 points in hyperspace, then forcing the craft to occupy one point in realspace), then they could somehow set the chosen “hyperspace” reality to be the one that the creature was occupying (if they can set hyperspace as a chosen reality, they could probably figure out how to set it to that reality), and then force that reality to close somehow, effectively killing the creature.
Another thought: assuming their reality has the same laws of physics ours has, they wouldn’t be able to do anything FTL due to time dilation, so whatever they used to make a warp drive would need to go through a wormhole or going through a separate dimension, so they either collapse the universe holding the entity (using the above mentioned trick), or use their knowledge of other dimensions (and an atom smasher) to effectively create “life raft” universes, or just create a stopgap.
Doc: How do you feel now?
Me: My mind is cracking!
Doc: It’s OK. It indicates the treatment is effective.
Me: But it’s definitely getting worse!
Doc: Yeah, before it gets better it getting worse. Just hang on with prescriptions and hopefully you will recover from that…
Oh, I wish them luck! OOh-oh, I wish best of luck to all of them!
When looking at the page today my first reaction before reading it was like:
“He might be the most unrealistic character in history, but boy does he look good!” 😎
Wait, was it really a conventional bomb? Just.. Dump tons of extra energy in as big an area as possible, as fast as possible? How was it meant to potentially destroy entire Universes? Does it use a hyperspace to basically fling energy at faster than the speed of light? Like a conventional bomb with a hyperspatial skew to the direction of the blast?
Man, they had a working warp drive! They really should have focused on the warp drive and scaling up the protection system they developed. Perfecting their understanding of both could have led them to realize they just needed to give the explosion a more specific direction; the same hyperspatial direction that the protection system repels things toward. Toward the creature’s spatial dimensions.
You wouldn’t have to attack the creature at black holes only. You could attack it anywhere, completely safe from harm. The warp engine technology would let you wreck havoc against the creature at hyperspatial speeds (hyperspatial simply meaning ‘on more than 3 axes at once’, often without the use of a time axis, sometimes while moving slightly ‘backwards’ on a time axis to kinda fake getting more speed out of it).
Mind you, this is ‘can of compressed air’ sorts of attacks most likely, but it’d be a great starting point for a planetary defense system. Once your planet is protected, you can start doing more hardcore stuff against it and not have as much fear of the next punch it throws.
With my own fictional Multiverse and the characters that fight its similar monster, one of their goals is to try to potentially salvage any of the previously ‘digested’ chunks of the Multiverse.. So they probably wouldn’t try an outright bomb. However, I’ll admit I hadn’t actually thought of anything as simple as a bomb, even one projecting the explosion hyperspatially.
Even if it didn’t work out for Alfred here, it was still a clever idea. I hope its failure doesn’t discourage him too much.

Unrelatedly, neat rainbowy effect on the explosion! The color nerd in me thinks it’d look cooler with an accurate rainbow gradient, but I have to remind myself that there’s literally no benefit to that for anyone except someone who has studied color physics to a borderline unhealthy degree like I have.
Besides, if one were to actually try to think of physically meaningful ways to enhance the artwork, it’d probably just be to have the colors correspond to blueshift and redshift. But then you wouldn’t have a cool rainbow effect like this, and it’d look more bland.
I had noticed that stars around the black holes they were inspecting were colored red :3 Wasn’t sure if it was stylistic choice or redshift, but that’s really cool you intentionally did that!
Yeah that doesn’t seem to good, also, I know fer that you live in Europe and all, but just felt like spreading the positivity over here in the US to you, so happy 4th, I know over there it is nothing special, but I wanted to make sure no matter where you are you can always celebrate with us if you want, and we will be there to celebrate your countries holidays, just want to spread the positivity

My theory, there’s something coming out of that Virtrin.. and I’m afraid it’s not good

I’m sure it’s fine, i mean what are the chances of two world ending events?
It depends on the comparison: the chance of two world ending events is gradually greater than the chance of nine.

Well… that’s one tough fucking egg. A few hundred more cracks like that, and we might have our cataclysmic breakfast!

Still more realistic than Kirby.
Everyone needs an appropriate haircut before bombing anything beyond the event horizon.

I actually did account for redshift in some of the imagery prior, when they’re doing visual inspections. :p
