(Actually, this Aetherium Wars arc wasn't originally supposed to be written this way.)
(Let me tell you what I originally had in mind.)
(Remember Aha's bomb? That was actually foreshadowing. I originally wanted to establish it as a bomb that would forcibly seal away someone else's power after exploding.)
(Anyone harmed by the bomb would have their power completely extracted and condensed into a halo.)
(To use their power, they would have to pull the halo from above their head down past their legs, letting their body pass through it.)
(At the end of this Aetherium Wars arc, I had planned for Aha to use another bomb to seal Akivili's power as well. But who knew the official story would reveal that Aha was practically gone.)
(In theory, he shouldn't have been able to create a bomb that could instantly erase even a star's power.)
(And I don't know just how weak Aha is now. I had no choice; to avoid getting blindsided by the official story again, I could only nerf him again and again.)
(That's why he was nerfed to this extent, unable to even wipe out the Antimatter Legion on a single planet all at once.)
(After that, I planned for Aha and Akivili to encounter a powerful enemy too, one that required both of them working together to fight. Then the two of them would use some kind of device to livestream their battle against that mysterious opponent to the entire universe.)
(By the way, I originally wanted their transformation sequence to use the transformation poses of the two brothers from Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt.)
(But unfortunately, for the same reason—Aha is too weak now. I had no choice but to change it.)
(By the way, that mysterious enemy was also foreshadowing.)
