Well, it looks like the thrashing that everyone was hoping Evon would deliver to Max is actually going to happen. She does seem cool and collected, and very dangerous now.
I keep wondering how long she can maintain that, hopefully longer than Max can last against such raw power.
I think you may be onto something here. As Michel Mephit notes, Maximus may be just a pawn (and a real loose cannon). Sevarian may be trying to “kill two birds with one stone” as it were; he rids himself of an unwanted competitor, while at the same time gains access to Evon’s (yet underdeveloped) power.
In this case I do not think she needs any fancy controle or spells or anything, just to chuck raw immense destructive power at him. Oh, and he just told her she has a near unlimited supply at her disposal without risk of being tainted by it. Just thought of the perfect analogy I think, Super soaker (him) vs large dimeter fire-hose connected to hidrant (her).
Since he is one of the main villains chances are high that he will survive one way or another. It could also be the case that the dark matter powers he previously tried to use are corrupting him and turnign him into an even more dangerous antagonist.
Who said he was a Main villain? o_O
Certainly believe Ms Shepard isn’t the type to keep arsefarts around simply because they are arsefarts, always hated that about Reality Shows
I’m now wondering if this heightened state that she is in, glowing eyes and radiating like a supernova, will become permanent. If so, her relationship to Herodotus could become rather interesting.
One: Evon has access to an extreme amount of raw power, possibly unlimited, definitely more then anyone else knows of or access to themselves. Max has gain access to some of that same power, but nowhere near the same level Evon has.
Two: Evon is still a beginner with magic. She has raw talent with magic, but not a prodigy were it just come “naturally” to her. Max on the other hand has had more years of practice with magic then Evon, undoubtedly in combat situations than Evon has not. Which means he will do and react faster and better then Evon. Meaning that Max will know how to counter things better then Evon, and quite likely be able to find and take advantage to any possible weakness she has.
With that said, this combat could be over in seconds, or drag out for some time. One factor that could end it quickly is how fast Max exhausts his supply of power. A second aspect to consider does Evon level of power “aura” surrounding her enough to ‘shield’ her to Max’s attacks?
she isn’t thinking right now she is in berserker mode. she thinks he killed hero. The love of her life. so how well she or max know magic means zip here. how well she normally fights again zip. she is raw unthinking vengeance here. I doubt she herd one word he said. this might take a few minutes to happen with max doing what he can to hold her off. But he isn’t trying to kill her. he trying to capture and control her. he’s delusional. He really thought he could kill the man she loves. teleport her to her castle and live happily ever after with her as his wife or battery or whatever? umm no. She trying to make him a wet spot on the wall. she throwing everything she got at him. just how much of a chance does anyone here think he able to fend of the magic equivalent of an 200 megaton nuke warhead? I for one will enjoy seeing him go splat.
it would seem to suggest a berserker mode, and yet the subsequent scenes leading up to this image suggest otherwise. Her conjuring some sort of orb of power in front of her seems like a deliberate, thought out act on her part. At least, that is my own impression. It will be interesting to see what happens next.
You are forgetting that she has gotten almost this angry before a few times. And gone into ” Angry glowing blue eyes mode” Casting her powers like an ultra mage . perfect in every way. And after not remembered much of anything that happened when she was that angry. It’s like there’s a switch in her head. click it on and you have pretty much screwed yourself in the worst way you can. If I remember right this guy has flipped that switch more then once. he has been very lucky to this point. she thinks he killed hero. his luck has run out.
There in lies the conundrum for Evon and Hero. They are to be heroes, the good guy/girls. And those people are suppose to have a set behavior/code/ethics to be ‘better’ then the rest. And to that ‘measure’ to set an example for those around them, both near and far, of just who and what they are. And that includes not running around attacking someone(s) without provocation. Proven Provocation! And to that end that includes not killing your adversary just because you can.
Which sadly means that in general heroes (the good people) get attacked by their enemies without warning. The perfect example to that is September 11, 2019. Another example was the botched December 7, 1941. I say botched because the Japanese embassy was suppose to deliver the declaration of war long before the actual attack. Which turned the surprise attack into the sneak attack.

Or, this is a trap set by Sevarian to gain access to Evon’s power.
I suppose that could be possible, but if so, I think it would be without Max knowing about it.

It can be cathartic to watch as a villain slowly realizes that their ego has led them to overreach their abilities.
I’m hoping this is the case here.
Unlike Ferneris, who has earned some small bit of respect as a character, Max is one of those villains you love to hate.
Kick his ass, Evon! 😀

He just told her everything she needed to know about her powers, before he had control over her. He’s not going to survive this intact, is he?
We hope not.

This arsefart has served his use, time to end him
Gee the entire world has brought it’s powers to bear and bare against you Maxi.
I have a feeling you’re not meant to live Maxi.
Well at least he served as a trial for Evon to overcome and learn to control her powers.
I’m now wondering if this heightened state that she is in, glowing eyes and radiating like a supernova, will become permanent. If so, her relationship to Herodotus could become rather interesting.
I’m not sure how much sleep a person can get, when their significant other is glowing like the tv from Poltergeist.
I have your life in the palm of my hand, Max. Oops! My hand flinched. Good-bye Max.
“All that for a drop of blood.”
Okay, we two aspects of this to consider.
One: Evon has access to an extreme amount of raw power, possibly unlimited, definitely more then anyone else knows of or access to themselves. Max has gain access to some of that same power, but nowhere near the same level Evon has.
Two: Evon is still a beginner with magic. She has raw talent with magic, but not a prodigy were it just come “naturally” to her. Max on the other hand has had more years of practice with magic then Evon, undoubtedly in combat situations than Evon has not. Which means he will do and react faster and better then Evon.

he he he, “Splat”.
Well, I suppose when you look at this image: http://evoncomics.com/?comic=volume-four-chapter-20-page-823
it would seem to suggest a berserker mode, and yet the subsequent scenes leading up to this image suggest otherwise. Her conjuring some sort of orb of power in front of her seems like a deliberate, thought out act on her part. At least, that is my own impression. It will be interesting to see what happens next.

here are the 3 pages I am talking about. The 2 assassins that took hero down and almost killed him when they tried to kidnap Evon. http://evoncomics.com/?comic=volume-two-chapter-10-page-447 http://evoncomics.com/?comic=volume-two-chapter-10-page-448 and http://evoncomics.com/?comic=volume-two-chapter-10-page-449
to see what I am talking about look in the archives pages 446 to 449.
I for one would really like to see Evon kill the SOB and send a message loud and clear to anyone and everyone what the consequences are…
I’m a little tired of Hero and Evon getting their butts handed to them way, way too often, the victories have been few in coming.
