Nealaphh clicked its beak pensively, turning Tom's question over in its mind like a curious coin found on the pavement. The Gigaton Hammer was not going to be a simple weapon to wield. Even the physically strongest Primes would have trouble using the implement as an effective weapon. It was liable to be the most sluggishn, unbalanced, clumsy thing they had ever brought to bear in a fight. The one small blessing was that it really only needed to work once. Based on conversations with Darunia, the Hammer's first design was crafted so as to be able to impact Vovlagia's diamond hard skull so hard that it would momentarily shake the monster into vulnerability. A cro magnon maneuver, to be sure, but unfortunately when it came to legend and destiny, there was usually very little room for improvisation.
...but the Nealaphh would make sure to use as much of that room as possible. Alpha squad would have to be comprised of some of the toughest, most powerful fighters in the Omniverse. Surely there was some way to mitigate that collective strength into a more elegant solution than: bash head, stab lots. Alas, a suitable solution was more fleeting than the time which has elapsed since Tom's asking.
That depends largely on who makes themselves available. If worst comes to worst, I can always fuse with one of the stronger candidates to ensure their usefulness. the God-Mind said, turning to glance at the Wizard. Tom stopped his dutiful scribbling and returned the crow's twinkling stare.
"Pardon me...Fuse?" Tom asked, a note of incredulity underpinning the legitimate curiosity within his voice. The Crow bobbed its head.
Indeed. It is something I have done several times. I can bind the essence of my power to another being's body and augment their operational parameters. Other Primes share a similar talent, but I am not sure they can do so with more than a few select others. Nealaphh said, it's eternally patient tone serving to precisely undermine Tom's own sense of bewilderment. To combine two bodies and two souls? The sheer number of arcane variables involved were staggering, not to mention all of the potential psychogical and medical impacts.
He would simply have to see it done.

And, we dream of home I dream of life out of here Their dreams are small My dreams don't know fear I got my heart full of hope I will change everything No matter what I'm told How impossible it seems We did it before And we'll do it again We're indestructible Even when we're tired And we've been here before Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
