What if the main characters had to fight the culture aka you replaced the Vorsook with the Culture and the main characters win and they start reverse engineering.
Quite a jump – the Culture are, basically, several hundred Omegas. Or MORE than Omegas. And they don’t rely on portals. And they probably control a LOT more space.
That said, their powers aren’t that similar to the MC of Demon Accords. So they may not have the ability to easily counter Chris up close. Or Declan.
On the other hand, the Culture are probably more open to dialogue than the Vorsook.
Well, if Omega was able to reverse Engineer Culture tech… then I think Faerie just became a colony world. I think Hell would end up being conquered.
Really, that tech is so crazy advanced, augment it with stuff like Supernaturals and Earth becomes a terrifying power bloc and Chris essentially becomes God Emperor.
Don’t know huge amounts about the culture; but think the Vorsook have an edge with the portals and mind readers. But I think the Culture have an edge in terms of sheer territory and ability to bring forces to bear; the Vorsook are more infiltrator and low-investment per win. And seem to treat Conquest as a game.
The Culture would probably go all in to remove them as a threat to prevent them causing long term damage over time. So I think the Culture have the edge.
