** At the end of the first game, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Alvis is [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement the Monado]] and the [[GodWasMyCoPilot God]] of the universe the first game is set in. He originally began as a computer program on a space station, but ascended to Godhood after an experiment gone wrong destroyed the previous world.]] Subsequent games in the series would shed more light on this: [[spoiler:Alvis was once known as Ontos, and was one of three [=AIs=] that made up the Trinity Processor, a supercomputer that maintained the Conduit, also known as [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} the Zohar]]]]. While [[spoiler:the other two cores, Pneuma and Logos]], ended up in the world of Alrest and were featured heavily in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' as [[spoiler:Pyra/Mythra and Malos respectively, Alvis/Ontos instead became the god of the world with the Bionis and the Mechonis.]] For pretty much all of the first game, [[spoiler:Alvis manages to avoid AIIsACrapshoot and remains the BigGood of the setting, even if he has to be deceptive about it at time.]] However, [[spoiler:when Ontos is reawakened in [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3 Aionios]] as [[TheComputerIsYourFriend Alpha]] during the events of ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3FutureRedeemed'', he ends up becoming a threat so dangerous that [[LaResistance the Liberators]] and [[TheCaligula]] form an EnemyMine to even stand a chance at defeating him]].

Added DiffLines:

* ''Fanfic/ImNobody'': The Normandy crew strongly suspects that the Goddess worshiped in [[spoiler:Barsoom]] is a Reaper after hearing one of her priest giving a speech that sounds all too similar to Sovereign's. In addition, her voice is stated to sound cold, ancient, and mechanical. They share their suspicions with [[spoiler:John Carter and Dejah]] before they leave, much to their alarm.
