Now that Mercy isn't relying on Ghoul's energy, she's starting to wear down. On top of that, she's pouring it on more and thicker...

There might be consequences.

As per before ... "You realize that people may try to stop you, right? Even some formidable people. Just sayin'. :)"

Like what seems to be going on here.

But don't forget.

To paraphrase ...

"Do it? [Prof], [We're] not a Republic Serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago."

I concede that the struggle against the Elder Gods is an ongoing one. So far, the best we, being humanity, have been able to hope for has been pushing it back. Like this page, for example.

Perhaps one day, we will be more successful. Or, perhaps, we won't.

Either way, the struggle is here and now.

(Also, don't forget that Nestor had to move up the timeline. He didn't HAVE an extra thirty-five minutes. Love the reference, though!)

Nestor's just our fall guy. To paraphrase what Mariah Carey said about Jennifer Lopez (yes, she's so obviously one of ours) "We don't know him." (Well, actually both of them and most of Hollywood, actually, how else did you think they all got famous?). This is just a side-show.

In fact, with everybody stuck in a perpetual grind of working to earn to only barely stay afloat to the point where it consumes every waking moment (and cuts very short the sleeping ones), the fact is, we actually ate all your souls some time ago.

We won, and some time ago at that. We already rule your planet through a combination of the UN, the Bilderburg Group, the Illuminati and the US Department of Commerce.

Ozzie knew where it's at but to really drive the point home, let's hear from Arnim.

"Dr. Arnim Zola: HYDRA was founded on the belief that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. What we did not realize was that if you tried to take that freedom, they resist. The war taught us much. Humanity needed to surrender its freedom willingly. After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded, and I was recruited. The new HYDRA grew, a beautiful parasite inside S.H.I.E.L.D. For 70 years, HYDRA has been secretly feeding crises, reaping war. And when history did not cooperate, history was changed.
Natasha Romanoff: That's impossible. S.H.I.E.L.D. would've stopped you.
Dr. Arnim Zola: Accidents will happen. HYDRA created a world so chaotic that humanity is finally ready to sacrifice its freedom to gain its security. Once the purification process is complete, HYDRA's New World Order will arise. We won, Captain. Your death amounts to the same as your life, a zero sum!"

Prof, you're wasting your energy! Expend your effort only in pushing Shan and his ilk* back through the portal to Sydney!

Too late! Where do you think all the actors shaping your young and impressionable minds come from? It's either the UK or ...

You got it. We're very indifferent with our evil.

@ Shan: Yes, I am aware of the machinations of your ilk* over the past century, which have given us apathetic youth and divisive-yet-similar politicians.

Things can and will change...

For the worse, yes. We've been very busy on both sides of the Atlantic as 2016 has shown.

I just read Nestor and Mariah Carey in one paragraph and that mental image is not pleasant.
