Rare boss marrow drop confirms heavy lore regarding Moon God Dottore.
The AQ vaguely hinted Dottore was dying (did not have much time left) and wanted to commit a suicidal bang / "funeral".
But it wasn't just the new Exalted Heretic... The moon marrow drop shows Omega divided himself + planned for the False Moon God to die.
>I perceive a truly magnificent scene: one half of my soul enters the Ley Lines through death, while the remaining half is injected as pure data. My two halves would then navigate those pathways to converge with the information of the past. It would be possible for me, in this manner, to achieve the preservation of my memories.
>We might consider that as one of death's rare oversights. Something that is even more eternal than eternal life itself? Hehe... An immortal record would certainly satisfy that definition, of course.
Back in 6.3, when he suddenly switched to "wanna kill innocent people?" while speaking to the traveler, that was probably him giving up on recruiting (Like Pantalone gave up and used stall tactics) and proceeding to rage bait the traveler and everyone else to get blasted to bits.
That's also why he opened the sky to let them reach the moon more easily and constantly looked like he was stalling.
The saddest part? The only character that appears to have noticed Dottore's fate was to commit suicide was Pantalone. He even commented to Dottore he put himself in a position he couldn't be brought back, to which he just laughed. (Is he laughing at fate screwing him up or that Pantalone noticed Dottore knew he wasn't getting out alive and was not talking seriously?)
Also, that line about knowing Dottore would fail but still showing up for him + he mentioned Dottore fighting fate to the traveler.
Back in January I made a theory post regarding Dottore's fate being tied to an apocalypse but him letting a descender (who severs fate) kill him instead of destroying the world.
His fate was never elaborated in detail so we may never know if that theory was right but the suicide part is there.
Melanta's story was foreshadowing Dottore up to his death. Even as far as playing Escher.
Nihilita escaped his fate and is still out there fighting the traveler to "gather data" (his defeat line) and Maki left with no memories.
Don't know if this could be foreshadowing something too but pointing it out.
