This dude being taken off the battlefield is the WORSE turn of events.
Let’s take a second and appreciate what has happened here over the course of these few books.
Soloman’s, the most organized, capital has been destroyed as well as probably most of his administration rendering his legions without a command and control apparatus even tho his forces were probably the most professional and capable.
Jadis probably has sizable forces but I’m willing to bet most of her domain is focused on information gathering, data retention/science and witches/wizards giving her a nice magical and technical war machine. Her forces are likely high quality and hard hitting but few in number.
Incubus might have the Golden Army but most of what we’ve seen from him is mind slaves, strung out power addicts. I doubt the GA even in full glory can stand up to Jag’s dedicated 111,111 world’s worth of military might.
Conflict (and meddling by allison) has evaporated both the command apparatus, forces, and finances of both The Dragon and Mottom who together could have probably bankrolled every mercenary force in the known universe against The Red One.
The Worm likely has an insurmountable intelligence (and propaganda?) apparatus but actual forces, none that we know of right?
The Red God has lost(?) this battle but effectively won The War.
Only his forces and Thorns have any serious capacity to subdue the 777,777.
Even if he abandons his key (not guaranted he wont take it with him to the void like allison), that only forces the remaining rulers to fight among each other until his war with Metatron is complete and leaves that victor to pick off the key holder.
Solomon’s alive and almost all of his capital world is intact, it’s not even clear how much of the city around him was destroyed. His other 111,110 worlds remain at his beck and call. The loss of his paper pushing sons is trivial.
Jagger looks to have been sealed into an ashy shell not unlike angel armor, and simply pushing him into the void could well be the end of Die Jaggenfrage as far as this story is concerned.
But this has always been a problem, has it not? like Amoeboid I do not agree with some of the details of what you’ve said but it doesn’t change the fact that it was never about winning against Jagganoth or winning some variant of the Universal War. It is about breaking the wheel, either as the cycle of the universe, or the cycle of violence, or the (meta)physical structure of the world, or, in my opinion most likely, all of the above.
Jagganoth has been depicted as possibly the greatest theat for the longest time but the Universal War could have been reignited in any number of ways as the balance between the demiurges has always been fragile at best.
42 Fragments the Universe Beyond All Reintegration
Alternatively, taking Jagganoth out of play may _unleash_ his armies. There’s a notable absence of horde on Rayuba so far, but the OCT background suggests they’ll be along later under a different leader. The OCT notes also indicate that the ex-Jagganothian forces are not very organised and are hard to direct.
> The Worm likely has an insurmountable intelligence (and propaganda?) apparatus but actual forces, none that we know of right?
She is her own forces. Seriously. She can literally infect anybody and turn them into another extension of her. Including combatants; the way she got “invited” to be the announcer for Solomon’s tournaments is that she felt left out before and kept eating his contestants. And she does not have to have them be full worm-bodies, either, though it’s worth noting that does seem to make them immune to any precision-based damage (heart shots, head shots, etc.).
So in other words, Gog-Agog’s forces are everybody she’s been able to infect over the course of thousands of years. I would not be willing to bet on that being a negligible number.
4th panel is the first that shows all demiurges together, and is not a flashback or narrative. (except that goggy is not really visible, but they’re around I guess. So, i’ll be ready to state that again when all seven appear in a frame)
Or has there been an earlier instance of such an occasion?
Hey, does it look to anyone else like Aspected Chaos is moving a bit faster than everyone else? It takes three panels for incubus to stand up properly, and she/they cross most of the frame in one.
This feels like when White Chain cut Solomon’s cheek, only much more impressive.
Gog cannot be hurt… But he has been cut, reuardless. Will he fight on, now knowing he can be defeated?

DeJagganotherization is not good.

I can hear the war drums.
Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
I said it once, and I’ll say it again: “No one could survive that much dust!”
The most real of victories, declaration that She’s Worthy.
All of this lead up… just for a Jojo reference.
oh no Incubus looks like he lost his sword 😮
Mammon has such Big Doggo Energy
The Jaggahog is about to be loosed!
Did Solomon finally bleed there? He’s checking his hand after touching his forehead.
My initial thought was, has he gone blind from the blast? But you might also be correct.
SHOW US HIS BALLS
Oh, you’re approaching me?
Inky has lost is crutch.
6,000,000,000 Jagganꙩth becomes 6,000,000,001 Jagganꙩth.
The alt text… I see you’re quoting True Royalty
Well, Jagganoth may still be standing, but The Red God is certainly dead, and “The Grey God” just makes him sound wishy-washy.
Meme Pose Meme Pose Meme Pose Meme Pose!
question.
Do the arms flail around goofily or do they do JoJo pose hands while The Fool walks?

Gog’s about as visible in panel 4 as Mottom is. They’re both there.
I’m ready for the ORA ORA
Is that a MF JOJ-

EDIT- Not Gog, Jagganoth
This can’t hold him for long, right?
From the Upanishads
SIXTEENTH KHANDA 1.
1. ‘But in reality he is an ativâdin who declares the Highest Being to be the True (Satya, τὸ ὄντως ὄν).’
‘Sir, may I become an ativâdin by the True?’
‘But we must desire to know the True.’
‘Sir, I desire to know the True.’
