something that confuses me:
originally when most people first saw the Destroyer's projectiles (which I think was when Deneve+Helen+Clare were fighting the hellcats, and Deneve got hit in the arm, which she ripped off and regenerated or was it Beth being impaled by the huge projectile, lol), we thought that they were stealing life force.
However, later thought and chapters would show kind of the opposite. The projectiles seemed to be sources of yoki, which resulted in Awakening (due to the extra yoki) and it tried to awaken the host in the image of the hell-cats (similar to Luciela's Awakened form/body). Especially in chapter 103, we see Dauf using the projectile to give him more yoki to regenerate himself, and come after Priscilla. He then uses the projectile's yoki to grew new hell-cat arms too.
so..... about the Projectiles, are they:
1. simply sources of extra yoki. "yoki capsules", lol. yoki pellets from the Destroyer, but have no continued connection with it.
2. are they somehow connected to the Destroyer, ONLY sending yoki from the Destroyer into its projectile-impaled hosts.
3. are they somehow connected to the Destroyer, ONLY sending yoki to the Destroyer from its projectile-impaled hosts. (this is however 99% proven incorrect)
4. are they somehow connected to the Destroyer, and the yoki can go both ways, between the Destroyer and its projectile-impaled host
5. do these projectiles just deal with yoki, or do they also steal and/or give life force (like this new "black oil hell-bodies/souls traveling along with the huge tentacles").
about the new "black oil hell-bodies/souls traveling along with the huge tentacles":
does this life force steal, only work towards the Destroyer getting/taking the life force of its victims, or can the victim (if still connected/impaled by its tentacles, such as Clare, take the life force from the Destroyer instead into themselves?
Um, I think the projectiles act on their own. If they hit somebody, then they absorb their life force and take their bodies over, as was the case with Dauf (he let himself get hit with one, knowing that once it took over his body it would be stronger, which is why Priscilla said something along the lines of he's no longer himself anymore because Dauf was essentially dead at that point).
