If we use Pokemon as an analogy (I can't think of any other common ones), to the Guide Liam is like having a permanent Toxic status applied and the Guide can only use whatever random Oran berries he can find to stave off the damage. Unless he gets rid of Liam he's going to die, and this fight put him on his last few HP.
If we use Pokemon as an analogy, he used his last pp and can only Struggle, which damages himself half the time, as Liam continues to passively poison him between direct attacks (showing bare gratitude); he's gotten a few energy restoring items, but he's just stuck until "combat" ends.

It's more that Liam is like an anchor weighting him down. Him giving up is not an option.
He chose that anchor. After his first bout with the pirates and beefing them up, he weakened himself to the point that he couldn't leave. But every time he went back to the capital, he would've had enough strength to leave. Presumably, Liam's gratitude wouldn't be able to touch him in another universe.

But I feel like the answer is to let Liam do what he's been doing, improving his life while making all those in power despair and want vengeance. Literally if he's a god that feeds off despair and vengeance, then he has a whole ass galaxy to fuel him, and he doesn't need to feed off Liam specifically, at this point it's more outta spite than anything.
while he does have access that the entire galaxy can fuel him, he can't do that freely anymore. i don't know how to explain it but he got weaken to the point he can't

If we use that as a analogy, could get himself a pecha berry, a being who will obviously hate liam very much and also can be caused despair. Say I dunno Liams ex wife from before he was reincarnated, anything like that, there has to be a very powerful being in everything in the new universe who would just hate liam for existing.

Edit: also haven't tried it out but I'm pretty sure moves like rest would override whatever status effect

His Ex was effectively neutralized when Liam got his pre-reincarnation revenge. She's no longer able to mooch off Liam's now arrested former boss, and has to work for a living to support herself and maybe her kid.

But she didn't know liam is dead and also while I hate tropes, I would've tought they would have her dying and think "This is all Liams fault. If he really cared for us he would've tried harder" or some bullcrap. And even without the Liam hatred, she became a miserable bitch who probably would've chosen the space Reincarnation because it should be a advanced world

She would know as soon as she learned that she can't wring anymore child support payments out of him; the government would have told her directly when she goes to find out what's taking so long.

I was thinking Avid had a supercharged System-ID built-in, but a Dendrobium support system works too. :pacman:

“Build me a super-warship with top of the line everything. And I want it to be able to transform. Also it should link with my unique mech to become a giant super-mech.”

”That sounds like a tremendous waste of money and resources just to look cool and do one flashy attack.”

”It’s already my idea! You don’t need to sell me on it”

Thank the Guide for giving Liam a chance to use that massive Macross-size armour.

The god is fueled by feelings of despair and vengeance and, conversely, weakened by hope and gratitude. He can't leave Liam alone because Liam consistently feels gratitude towards him. He needs Liam to die before Liam's gratitude kills him (maybe literally).

He also can't leave because Liam's gratitude weakened him so much that he's stuck in this universe.
