Griffith is too smart and tactical for such a move. He's going to wait for them to come to him, or at least I think so.
If what Ged says about Griffith extinguishing Spirit Trees is true, and it's something that's still important to him even after the merging, then he will probably attack Elfhelm at some point in the future. If they're not important to him anymore, then we have a completely different set of expectations for the future, and the conversation we're building now around this stuff won't come into play for years, with totally different variables, on a completely different world stage.
Astral creatures wouldn't be a problem for apostles. Apostles literally kill them for fun.
We aren't even close to grasping the full extent of the astral creature lineup. And there's a range of possibilities. A troll? Tasty snack. But something like the kundalini? Different story. What about something even more powerful, though? I don't think it's crazy to think Miura has been saving his biggest cards for last.
Magical users may not be outside of casuality's influence but the astral beings and other non-human elements should be
And yet, they've heretofore been relegated to an island, far, far away thanks to the actions of humans. The Idea of Evil's means of control stems from humanity, and humanity has done a pretty stellar job of distancing itself from those elements and constraining their role on the world stage. My point being, they're probably exactly where they're supposed to be for whatever it is the God Hand have planned.
If a struggler like Guts or SK can often change their fate even in the most minimal manner ( Yes I know it doesnt disturb the flow of the river and what not ),
The word "fate" shouldn't be used like this when it comes to Berserk. And I wouldn't even say they can do such things "often." Only during very specific moments, of which we've seen maybe 5-6 in total?
I imagine Elf KIng might be able to completely reverse it, as its not subject to control.
What does that even mean..?
I've read the rest of the back and forth, but I'd like to step out of the quote structure for the rest. This discussion sees to be circling around the potential impact of an apostle attack on Elfhelm. Feeble says witches+astral creatures would be formidable, Skeleton says Apostles are no slouches. You're both right, I think. It would be a bloodbath on both fronts. But when you come right down to it, if Griffith or one of the God Hand
do happen to launch an attack TODAY, guess where my money would be? Probably the demonic forces who have been planning things behind the scenes for a millennium and currently have the entire world's assets in their grasp. Not the hippie village and their native pals.
But I think such discussion is premature for a variety of reasons.
First, we don't know enough about Elfhelm and its inhabitants to weigh in on what they could bring to the table in a battle. Schierke's most powerful abilities are contingent on nearby astral entities. As the final stronghold of magic users who are one with nature, Skellig and Elfhelm could be an insane wellspring of power in that regard.
Second, there's the question of if Griffith and Co. even have any interest in waging a long, distant campaign on foreign soil. And
third, there are revelations on the horizon, and they aren't big fight related. If it goes like we think it will (and admittedly Miura is stellar at subverting this...), a massive showdown of the proportions being discussed is still volumes away. And like I said earlier, such a battle by that point will include a number of other variables that we can't hope to account for at this moment.
