He could pull a “You broke it, you bought it.” and body snatch Salami Dave after Dave destroys him ala Captain Ginyu. Then Jaggy in Dave’s body is even more of a threat.
On a meta note, this would also explain Jaggy’s mask, and how he got quite so large. But I’m doubtful things will go that way, if only because DBZ did it first.
Despute my sobriety, but the only conceivable victory I can foresee is Alison smoking a bong the size of a steamboat with Jagganoth so she can explain the error in his ways while The Team scrapes Salami scraps off the streets.
Note two formidable enemies were bested by drugs: one through inebriation another through withdrawal.

APOCALYPSE SOON
ELEPHANT HELMET BONG… NOW!
okay, you’re tough jaggy, not gonna lie i don’t think i can beat you
but can you handle this shit? it’s from a place called afghanistan, you’d like it there, been at war with like every empire in the area and not the planet for like ever.
Tragic loss of business for that ice-monger really, Jagganoth seems more the type to cut a glacier apart when he wants a cold drink. They say he’s so great but I’d wager he’d never appreciate a real shindig even if it ended with maggots digging the nails out of his rotting flesh.
Jagganoth, Jadis, Solomon David and Gog-Agog are physically here.
Incubus is watching from Allison’s mind and probably getting ready to make his move.
Matanghi is likely close, with the pursuers who came to the tournament.
Allison has all of her team.
Of the big players, the only ones missing are Nadia, Memnon, Himself and the angels. I’m expecting Metatron and Michael to have their own part to play
42 Fragments the Universe Beyond All Reintegration
Solomon summons the power of paradox. If he fights long enough, some of the people of the city may escape. But if he fights hard enough to delay Jagganoth, the energy-wash from the fight will erase the fleeing people.
I half expected the final book to start with some other plot thread, likely another Maya-Meti-Incuboy flashback, or suchlike, both to make a kliffhanger more torturous (is this even a word?..) and to remind us that the story is way more complex. Apparently it is not a time; OK than. Current theory that the 5th books isn’t going to be one long battle scene, as soeone above predicted, yet will procede in an utmost calamity leaving Allison badly scathed (percieve the cover) – it was stated at Twitter that Abbdin closed the book earlier than planned, and we are actaully not at the beginning of BoF, but more likely still in the final arc of KoS.
So I guess the war starts disastrously, and after the first defeat our heroes have to do lots of stuff before facing Jagganoth again. Those who live through the upcoming pages, that is.
And also… don’t forget the prophetic words uttered once.
“There was one who came with the broken sun in her brow, and her blood was like molten gold. Once she stole the secret fire of Those Who Came Before from the Red Gods and coveted it, but it ruined her and made her ugly. She was a dirty god and she had a powerful enemy. She could not avail to touch him, so she crouched in his shadow while he became increasingly swollen with his own power and bloodthirst. Instead of growing, she diminished, and grew disheveled and her fire dimmed. But inside, her spark grew more powerful and fierce. She waited for the day her enemy became so tottering under his own monstrous power she could hack at it his ankles and fell him with a single blow.”
-Chronicle of the Fourth Conquest, quoted under Seeker of Thrones 10-122. I guess that’s the hint of what’s going to happen.
i would kind of love it if he kicked jagganoth’s ass, but jaggy was still a gigantic threat somehow
subversion for it’s own sake is overrated, but subversion with a good twist is always great

Note that so far, none of the gods she’s defeated were beaten in combat, per se.
Note two formidable enemies were bested by drugs: one through inebriation another through withdrawal.

Warmup completes.

( Jadis whips out her Glyph-pad ) “Beep-Boop-Bop !”
“Inter-Dimensional Glyph Board Operator, how shall I place your GLYPH message ?”
“S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-SEND, B-b-b-b-b-b-BACKUP !”
“How many of the Chairmen of the Board are you Summoning ?”
“E-E-E-E-E-E-Everyone !”
“Sending your Summons, NOW !”
“BOOP !” goes Gog-Agog’s pad.
“THOU ART SUMMONED !”
“BOOP !” goes Mottom’s pad.
“THOU ART SUMMONED !”
“BOOP !” goes Mammon’s pad, carried by Number One. “THOU ART SUMMONED !”
“BZZZK !” goes Solomon David’s pad,
crushed somewhere in the arena.
“TH—— A———S________D !”
“BOOP !” goes Jagganoth’s pad.
“THOU ART SUMMONED !”
“HA ! I’M ALREADY HERE !” Booms Jagganoth.
Jadis : “Whoops”
“BOOP !” goes Incubus’s pad, carried by an attendant.
“THOU ART SUMMONED !”
Incubus looks undecided, purses his lips.
“OH ! And I was JUST going to have my HAIR done !
OH ! WHAT should I DO ? WHAAAAAT ? !”
( Strikes a pose. )

AY LMAO
I hope White Chain kicks Jagganoth’s ass for ruining her birthday.
But he’s only coming with a gift for the birthday girl! Didn’t realize he wasn’t invited. Just like Maleficent.

Proverbs 16:18-19, Solly
I’m really wondering how Solomon’s clothing has withstood all that power… Unless he’s being very careful with how he directs it, despite his rage?
(I promise this question has everything to do with in-comic realism and nothing to do with me being a horny bisexual)
I guess that would be why Jaggy is wearing nothing but his armor, a fashionable pachyderm hat, and a speedo. Less clothing to get destroyed.
Jaggy is going to literally kill six billion demons now
Sword of Want straight through the 4th wall!
I anticipate the entire last book being one huge fight scene, essentially.
tell us how you really feel, SD…
Shit just got real.
I can just HEAR the piano theme kicking up in the background.
Jagganoth, Jadis, Solomon David and Gog-Agog are physically here.

Ultimately, Jagganoth is not the problem here.
Solomon has been composed and calm for all of the tournament. Seeing him go nuts now is a real sign that he is mad beyond belief.
His Power Level Is Over 9000!
Cio, as ever, has made exactly the correct choice in the given situation

One can only hope that Solomon David is too proud to lose twice in one day.
Hmmm I wonder how the city across the causeway did with the explosion.
Someone is twenty-four pack pissed.
