I'm hoping UC ends with an epic scene of K using the gnosis+daimos+dunyain intellect to call something even bigger than a ciphrang to the battlefield.  NG vs the hundred?  Yatwer a temporary slave to K?  Actually, I bet that will be a little bit before the end.  I'm expecting K to dispose with Aurang, Mekeritrig, and Shauriatas and then have an intimate chat with Aurax deep in Ark's bowels.  (V) 0,,,0 (V)

Hmm, I had never thought of the goal of becoming a self-moving soul as distinct from becoming the God.  That's really interesting.  For my own part, I don't know that Kellhus' goals matter as much as his conditioning.  I'm wondering if one of the big reveals in UC is that he's been conditioned from birth forward to be whatever the dunyain/moe need him to be. 

I can see the pointlessness of total ascension, but I don't know if it matters to K.  I wonder if part of his ultimate utility is the so-called 'madness' that the narrator continues to insist on.  If the Outside really is dominated by greater and lesser desires, and if madness is more or less equal to have desires, then the pragmas may need one of their own to develop a grand desire in order to fulfill their purposes: Kellhus. 

He really wants to save the world or avenge Serwe or bring Serwe back from the grave or whatever--so long as he desires, he can accomplish their aims in the Outside.

EDIT: breaking up the text

I don't have anything to add about Moe's original encounter, but I have wondered if this is his end goal.  Ishual is invaded by Sranc, Moe is sent out to investigate, Moe returns with report that Sranc are a permanent and growing problem, Dunyain send him out to solve (perhaps with several other Dunyain), Moe decides that the only way to save Ishual ultimately is to destroy the Consult and ALL sranc, Moe sets up Kellhus to become/summon NG, NG somehow under Dunyain control, all sranc (and all derived) directed into the ark, seal the damn thing up.  Lol, idk
