  • The speech Tornincasa gives the party when they confront her.
    Tornincasa: All a god really is, ultimately, is an idea. And ideas spread very, very easily. And I wonder how far you spread the World Eater's influence just by knowing about him, and travelling to places you undoubtedly have. The idea is that death is negotiable. The idea is that it doesn't have to be the end. After that, all you have to do is wait for the right voice in your ear, and then do what it says, and you become like me.
  • When Atra explains that Kev is a Starheart, Jyll and Artie realize that he was born in the Iolara hatchery. The hatchery that is in Wildspace, which means if even one percent of the lizardfolk who hatch from the small clutch they're guarding are effected, that's at least seven or eight kids. And the World Eater forces were trying to pillage the entire facility.
  • Aelfgifu's dream, which starts with her hearing he phrase "I'm sorry, someone needs to see". She finds herself on a Neogi planet, covered with them and their slaves. Then she hears a gasp, looks up, and sees the sun dim, then collapse into darkness. A shockwave tears through the city and warps all the buildings around her, and she looks up in time to see a dark form emerging from the black hole.
  • Jylliana communes with Baphomet on Taphos, and comes face to face with him - he's in the form of a gore-covered Minotaur that's simultaneously three times her size and as tall as a mountain.
    Baphomet: Ask your questions little angel. If they're interesting enough, I might let you leave this place.
    • Baphomet also explains why the World Eater cult is after the Well of Eternity.
    Baphomet: The Well shows them what they want to know. It gives them a reason to give up. On a world far from yours, and yet so very close little angel, a poet once wrote of the Aleph - a place where one can stand and see the whole of creation at once.
    Jyll: And that gives them a reason to stop?
    Baphomet: Gives them a reason to despair.
  • The Well really does live up to the reputation Baphomet gave it when the party drinks from it in Episode 111. They experience all of infinity - Annie compares it to an Everything Bagel - as well as all of causality, witnessing the lives of themselves and everything else passing before them, experiencing every single atom in every sphere and dimension, even witnessing every god as both complex towering figures and meaningless atoms in the breadth of the universe. And then Anna describes the feeling of nihilism that's inflicted upon them as they comprehend it.
    You know your place in it. You are nothing! Less than nothing, less than that. For a blissful moment that is simultaneously a heartbeat and forever, nothing matters. It's okay! You don't have to worry any more.
    And then, last of all, you understand why you don't have to worry anymore.
    Because in the core of every atom, from the very fabric of reality, in those pockets of possibility and in the vast nothingness around them, a great fire is growing. It is building endlessly, spreading through your bodies and your worlds with the unrelenting force of time. And when it finally passes through the last atom of the universe, you all will be only ash in it's wake. Every moon and every star and every nebula that bore you into existence. All of gravity, all of radiation and everything binding your structure together, all of it will be the same. You will be united in your absolute destruction. In that moment, you understand what entropy is. And you understand that it is here, and now, and always, and it is futile. Nothing that is matters. And now is all there is. That is the Well of Infinity.
