BREAKER OF INFINITIES 49-50 (JAGGANOTH)
Chapter: 2
>>LARGER SIZE<<
“The Wheel-Turning King will have three characteristics: a fierce glare, hands as large as ox carts, and red skin. His body will boil like the surface of Hell. He is the annihilator of falsehood.”
-Psalms
A thought.
Jagganoth is not the final boss of this strip.
He is the strongest of all the Demiurges. This is known.
He is invulnerable to all damage. This is known.
He is the one who has broken the world so many times, forcing it to be set. This is now known.
However…
There remains one Demiurge who has not yet been named. Just one.
I think Maya is all but officially one. The plot hints at Incubus having stolen her key, but let’s be real: she’s all about the word Blade and we may have been misdirected.
Other than that there are lots of unnamed demiurges, all supposedly dead. And I guess you might mean Aspected Chaos, who almost certainly have not reached their final form.
I suspect Jamini refers to Jadis, the last demiurge whose title card we still await. Arguably we know less about the bearer of the word Mind than any of the Seven, despite the immense possible ramifications of her omniscience. Her role in this book could be any number of unforseen things.
I may have it wrong, but I think anyone with a key gets the title. And since at least one of the current 7 will occasionally loan a few copies of some tiny fraction of their keys to underlings to empower them (assuming I’m remembering this correctly), there are any number of minor demiurges running about?
Behold FancyPants the Many Skulled, Bearer of the Word SHREDDED!
the return of pants!
I know the whole many armed this is always symbolic.
But in this thematic context, one sword just seems better than lots of swords on a fundamental level.
Jagganoth’s all about practicality though and on that level lots of swords are definitely better if you can use them all at once effectively.
Invulnerable and overwhelming he may be, but he has one weakness:
He’s ticklish.
Final boss.
So when’s the clothing line coming, Abbadon?
I set my desktop background to this image and now I can’t even attempt to get any work done……….
Jag is half hecatoncheire
And half of the 10,000-headed Ravana
Good to see fellow readers of culture here.
“That’s a huge bitch!”
I could take him I bench like 50
Welp, that’s a final form all right.
So was Jagg just playing during the universal war, when they fought to a standstill?
I’ve always assumed that his deal with Metatron and the whole business with the nails came after the Demiurges signed peace.
And the Thorn Knights didn’t even get to see his form. Pity
and this is not even his final form
Dang.
Nice pants, Jags 😀
You see Alison, your not dealing with your average demiurge anymore.
we’re gonna have to squeeze a few more people together to beat this one
lose the shorts!!
Is that my boy RUIN in his left hand?
We’re gonna need Rama, Hanuman, Mila’s monkey legions, Maha Kali, Drona, all the Pandavahs, Krishna, Mahasamatman, Lord Yama, the Mothers of the Terrible Glow, Ravana and all his demons, Ahura Mazda’s army from the Frashokereti, and maybe Cthulhu and all His Star Spawn just to be on the safe side
and Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock and Hulk Hogan
They all came outta nowhere lightning fast, and Jag still kicked they fuckin’ ass.
Props for the Zelzany call-out!
Strongly recommend Lord of Light to any fan of KSBD.
So we can assume that every other Demiurge has his or her final form like this and we will witness it next pages or Jag will kill them all before they will able to transform fully?
Also now AlliCio in Chains transformation isn’t as cool it was before, maybe they can invite other Demiurges to join them to create as big beast as Jag is now.
oh fuck me
Ok. So. As a Wandering Bureaucrat, naturally I am a great believer in the power of diplomacy, pedantry, and bludgeoning your opponents over the head with the full weight of incorporeal law, whatever the source of that law may be. As I mentioned last page, I strongly suspect that this will be the great equalizer Aspected Chaos uses in order to steal a victory from this conflict. No matter what kind of physical weapons Jagganoth has, words of the wise can always do their dirty work unhindered. I had thought to myself, “Ok, sure, so Jagganoth’s gonna bust out his big ol’ war-form and maybe there’ll be some fighting but our Team Supreme should be able to handle it no matter what.”
That being said, HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS. I AM NOT OKAY WITH THIS.
I
AM
NOT
OKAY
WITH THIS.
NO AMOUNT OF WISDOM COULD HAVE PREPARED ME FOR JUST HOW F*CKING INTIMIDATING THIS FORM IS. HOLY F*CK. WHY. JUST WHY.
