The nuclear fusion explosion from Vestec emerging in the ocean probably wouldn't produce too many radioisotopes, so we wouldn't have too much to worry about from lingering radioactivity. I'd be more concerned about just the massive eruption-tsunami-explosion, which would be devastating in and of itself.

@Double Capybara, this is true.
But it's so much more fun when I can compare it to actual numbers.
Speaking of numbers, Jvan's relativistic hyper-punch (continuing my assumption of 0.99c) still delivered about nine or ten orders of magnitude less energy than that required to blow up a moon like Vestec did earlier (based on our Moon's gravitational binding energy). Fun fact. (And a reminder that Might is not simply energy)

@Kho, Sounds interesting. I don't know too much about them, or have much ownership over them as a player, but I'll see if I can help when I have time.
And instantly the shuddering hulk was linked to the tiny, colourful body of the mad deity with a carmine cataclysm of scalpelled fog that rent Galbar's universal laws with such brutality that they splintered and left only the twisting shapes of an Other-body below, a backbone, a lamprey that seared through the humanoid god and beyond, leaving only teeth and momentum. Momentum that blasted Vestec within and without, smashing him through the core of the planet and out far beyond the other side in a nanosecond.
@Rtron
Tell me that doesn't sound like it would hurt, even to a god.
Of course, we'll need Termite to confirm the details. Although I'll note that unless Vestec was punched to faster-than-light speeds, a nanosecond is a bit of an exaggeration. It would take 40 milliseconds for a near-light-speed Vestec to make it through the diameter of an Earth-sized planet (at least in the frame of reference of Galbar. In Vestec's frame of reference, assuming 0.99c, it'll take him 5.6ms).
@Rtron@Double Capybara, running the numbers, the energy required to accelerate Vestec to about 99% of the speed of light, assuming a mass similar to a person, is about 40 Exajoules (4*1019 J), which in explosive terms is 10000 Megatons of TNT (200 times more powerful that the largest nuclear bomb known to man, the Tsar bomb), or 50 times more energy than the 1883 Krakatoa eruption. In my scientific opinion, it doesn't really matter what the reason was, unless Jvan/Heartworm intentionally did it in such a way that would deal no damage (which was not how it read), that punch would hurt if you didn't expend some serious energy to protect from it.
One thing I'd like to see added to the to-do list, which shouldn't be too demanding, is to do with deleting notifications. Why do I have to go through a confirmation dialogue when I want to delete just one notification, but no dialogue for deleting all of them? In my opinion, either there should not be a confirmation dialogue for deleting notifications at all, or it should go the other way round, with no confirmation needed for deleting individual notifications.

They're in the first post.
Ah, so they're separate lists, not simply a revised duplicate. Okay.
@Rtron, the Celestial Citadel and the Urtelem are missing from my tab.
@LokiLeo789, Whatever you do, if you want to help the planet, don't pick Vestec.

I wasn't aware of the search function. Thanks for telling me, though my internet is quite spotty and I might ask for favours similar to the last one in the future.
@Antarctic Termite, thanks for the link as well!
I guessed you might not have noticed. In case you still haven't found it, the search button is the grey one at the top of the thread, next to the Subscribe/Unsubscribe button.
