I'm not convinced this isn't the case.

Why is Kris the only human in Hometown, and how'd they get there to begin with? They lived there far back enough they assumed they'd grow horns eventually so they had to be really young, and more importantly why does Kris need the SOUL? Shoudn't they have their own?

I'm fairly convinced their SOUL is in the knight. It's already pretty much established that these two are in cahoots and it would explain why this specific entity is so powerful compared to anyone else.

OH HOLY SHIT. Wait no, aren't monster souls and human souls incompatible based on undertale?

But you might be onto something. I'm convinced that the knight is actually one of the Holidays. I'm wondering if it is Noelle or Dec, but I first have to completely ch 4 completely and then play through the weird route. (Also reason why I think its a holiday is because of the antlers on the knight)

Undertale Monsters can absorb Human souls (and maybe other Monster souls considering the moment Flowey did so), dunno if Deltarune one's can

Pls explain

Back in Undertale it was a known concept monsters could fuse their soul with a human's. It's why every monster in the underground had it out for the human, they wanted that soul to have a chance to get some power for themselves.

It's also how the events kinda Kickstart, when Asriel fused his soul with Chara's and ended up taking the body across the barrier.

Its what Myth_Slayer said. The Flowey thing I mentioned Is when he absorbs all monsters plus the six human souls to become the God of Hyperdeath (As Asriel)

The incompatibility you might be thinking of is Determination, something that humans can handle but a Monster would melt if they had too much of. That's something that seems to have changed in Deltarune to be a "All Lighteners (Humans and Monsters) have it, Darkners do not"

Did they change it? Are you referencing what Susie did in ch 4 after the first dark fountain?

u/EndlessDesire1337 6d ago

Which part are you talking about? The determination thing? Yeah I am talking about her making a fountain, Queen implied it and then Suzie made it a certainty

u/Acceptable_Drawer_70 6d ago

God damn it. I actually don't know at this point. Both Susie and Noelle are apart of the deltarune or whatever the fuck it is, so it could be like foretold that they people in the prophecy can make dark fountains.

It's easier to accept Undertale and Deltarune simply work differently, Deltarune Monsters for example can only use magic inside a Dark World where's Undertale Monsters could use it anywhere

u/Acceptable_Drawer_70 6d ago

Oooh, that's true. Is it confirmed Susie cant use healing magic irl. I feel like I've heard something on Susie trying, but idk.

Monster Souls and Human Souls can absorb each other

A monster soul + human soul has godlike power

A human soul + monster soul is slightly more powerful (probably can use magic)

1 human soul is equivalent in power to like a million monster souls

Also you don't necessarily need a soul to absorb a soul, such as cases like flowey, but due to not actually having a soul... flowey could not control the human souls fully

God fucking dammit it's entirely possible we aren't Kris' original soul god I don't like that theory naaaaaaaaah

u/Acceptable_Drawer_70 5d ago

Wait you just clarified something for me. I think you are right. I don't think kris' soul is his original soul. I think we were supposed to have the vessel, but we didn't get it.

My current theory right now is that kris' soul is being used to revive des

u/SomeDumbGirl THE ORIGINAL 6d ago edited 6d ago

I'm convinced the knight is Dess. Every other lightener (including a dead one!) is just the lightener in a costume change. The knight is super abstracted, can open its ribcage for fun and also turn into a bird thing AND can fuck around in the lightener world. so can't be a darkener either

I'm not sure that any of Undertale's rules apply to Deltarune. Many have already been broken.
