BREAKER OF INFINITIES 1-12 to 1-14
Chapter: 1
“The perfected art – when a man and sword are made one. The poison of the hilt becomes the poison of the arm and gradually infects the whole body. There is no beating a man who has been subsumed by the sword.”
-Ryo ten Ryam
He used all his arrows up. All gramps needs to do now is the exact same thing.
Nope, he has the infinite arrow cheat code.
His quiver had arrows in it, and now he doesn’t. That implies that he can no longer shoot arrows to me.
They’re demiurges, man. They can pull additional arrows out of the universe if they lie to the universe hard enough that those arrows exist.
It seems like the big difference between Jagganoth and his 6 foes is not in how much power they have but in how efficiently they wield that power.
In any conflict between two opponents who are in all physical aspects evenly matched, skill tends to become the deciding factor. He who is most in control of himself and his abilities will most assuredly be in control of the battlefield.
In this instance, there are many factors that will influence the outcome of this fight. For example, are the 6 merely delaying the inevitable out of desperation; or would their combined power actually be enough to break a being that has supposedly been rendered invulnerable? And even if so, will they be able to put their petty grievances aside before they get picked apart one by one? And what of Jagganoth himself? skilled as he may be, this is still merely 1/7th of the universal power up against the rest. As evidenced by his need to block incoming attacks, he is likely not completely immune to what the others are throwing at him, so there is still the possibility that he could find himself in a bind given the right combination of bad luck and/or mistakes.
Though I think we all suspect the likely outcome, at this early juncture there is still ample opportunity for the tides to turn either way.
My interpretation of ‘invulnerable’ was less about Jag being immune to blows, but too skilled for one to ever land on him.
No he’s quite literally invincible. Heavenly nails forced from the feathers of angels true forms have been embedded into his flesh. Through this he is made unalterable.
Is Solomon still in China?
He is. He’s being held by the Chinese authorities for questioning.
I am mightily confused as to what happened.
Jagganoth made multiples of himself and shot down the meteors with arrows ? then the arrows turned around to attack the others ?
Then Jadis created magic ice to stop the arrows ?
Yep. Happens all the time in demiurge fights. It’s one of their favourite party tricks.
Actually Annelise, you’ve summed it up quite well!
epic AF. I wonder how many demons you could kill with Jagganoth’s, bow technique.
About five or seven less than 6 billion.
Jagganoth switches hands with the bow and arrows between frames 2 and 3 and it’s distracting af.
Demiurges are not constrained by laws of sequential art.
Filthy sinner Incubus is leaving his wretched slime all over the rock…
Well… At least the fire’s out.
Friendly fire vs Jagganoth who will win?
Kage bushin no jutsu?
87 Sportcaster Babbles Forever: Well, sports fans we’re just a few plays into the game here at Rayuba world stadium and the score is still deadlocked at a solid zero to zero. What do you make of it, 43 Joe?
43 Joe Color Commentator Watches in Wonder: 87 Sport, we’re seeing a classic match-up between these demiurges and so far none of them seems to have gotten into a groove. While “Fighting J” Jagganoth is showing the discipline and calm under pressure for which he is known, with the exception of (we presume temporarily) taking Salami Dave out of action, he hasn’t been able to score as decisively as he’d like.
87 Sport: His “Hall of Mirrors Eat My Quiver” shot certainly turned around Mammon’s celestial air strike.
43 Joe: Yes, gotta give him credit for reading the play, intercepting the attack and mounting his own offensive. And the way he swapped his arrows and bow between hands was especially impressive.
87 Sport: Blink and you’d miss it!
43 Joe: But he couldn’t have anticipated “The Ice Lady Cometh” block from Jadis.
87 Sport: No, that one came out of nowhere! So unexpected that teammate Gog A-Gog suffered some collateral damage by getting impaled.
43 Joe: Yeah, but there’s plenty more Gogs where she came from.
87 Sport: Ha ha! True that, 43 Joe! I’m sure she’ll wriggle out of this one, like so many times before. Remember, when it comes to Gog A-Gog, we all know,
43 Joe & 87 Sport together: “It’s worms all the way down!”
87 Sport: Ha ha, oh that Gog! My oh my. 43 Joe, the question a lot of viewers must have is: Are these 6 working as a team, or what?
43 Joe: Yes, and that was a big question coming into the game. So far, they are definitely not on the same page of the playbook.
87 Sport: If there is a playbook! Or if they’re using the same one!
43 Joe: Ha! They each seem to have their own and haven’t shared with each other. They’re ALL trying to call the plays and fumbling all over the place! Mottom busted up Inky’s “run down the sword” move, which up to that point was pretty smooth —
87 Sport: Oh she really wrecked that.
43 Joe: Yes, and good recovery by Inky, but then the ironic turn around of Mammon practically trampling her to get at Jaggy — it’s been a clown show.
87 Sport: Yes, it has! Say friends, while things are “on ice” here at Rayuba World and we’re temporarily paused, how about reaching into that cooler and getting an ice cold Zoss Light? Zoss Light, the best brew in the multiverse! “While you’re up, toss me a Zoss.”
43 Joe: I bet Gog A-Gog could use a Zoss Light right about now! Is Jadis in that sculpture with the fuzzy Gog dice hanging from the icicle?
87 Sport: Ha! “Fuzzy Gog dice”. Well 43 Joe, who knows? Jadis is something of an unknown quantity. The question I have is when will Salami Dave get back in the game?
43 Joe: Oh he’s sure to dig out eventually…
87 Sport: Yep, I got a feeling I’ll be saying “Get out the rye bread and mustard grandma, it’s Salami Dave time!” before this is all over. Stay tuned folks!
Hillarious! Hope to hear more commentary from these two!
So do I know. “Worms all the way down” indeed, probably my favourite KSBD joke now.
Some people have commented that it’s not clear whether this is ice or glass. I would call to your attention Gog’s fogged breath in the panel we see her next to Jadis. This would imply cold, and therefore ice.
Mammon has a similar fog, though as a dragon his breath runs hotter than most atmospheres…
WINTER IS HERE.
Or, as Meti would put it, a stabbing.
There’s no beating a man who has been subsumed by the sword. In other words: Incubus. And since he also seems to use some kind of blood magic that was said to make people unbeatable as well, it would seem Inky-boy has the best chance to beat Jaggernoth. If he still wants to.
There is a kind of poetry to the way a battlefield changes over the course of a fight.
There’s something kinda hilarious about the two tiny backsteps Incubus takes there… 😉
BTW, I’m kinda surprised Jadis reacted as she did. Her only desire is to die, yet she saved both her own life and that of her fellow Demiurges. Well, and she impaled Gog-Agog. But that seems to be a common thing among these guys.
there may be several reasons, for what little we know about here she seems to be somewhat level headed, probably not wanting the wanton death and destruction that would follow jagganoths victory.
On the other hand, she HAS seen the shape of creation, she probably knows what needs to happen and what she needs to do in order for it to become
Draco meteor being not very effective means that Jaggy is Steel type. Which means we need fire, fighting, or ground to defeat him, AND if Inky came out of the ground and is a fighter, could be why Jag decided to team up with him in the first place. If Salami Dave ever manages to get out of his hole, he could launch some super effective attacks at Jaggy!
your proposed tactic forgets that Jaggy has the held item “angel feather” which turns all super effective attacks into not very effective attacks. What they need is someone to use knock off to get rid of the feathers first.
The only type Dragon is super effective against is Dragon, so if this is true Jaggt is Dragon Type. I find him being Steel type more believable. Get that Knock off to happen and we shall see. Alison, use Knock off!
He is a big death Fairy.
This Diablo 4 promotional art is getting out of hand.

Gog; That was my FAVOURITE meat puppet, damnit!
Interesting, so red and spiky is officially the color of (a particular kind of) mental projections, matching the fact that Juggernaut Star was actually the bike.
Dark spirit JUGGERNAUT STAR SCOURS THE UNIVERSE has invaded.
We did see Demiurges during the (first) Universal War projecting extra arms made out of colored energy. Perhaps this is merely a much more advanced form of this, and the red color reflects Jagganoth and Juggernaut Star’s Halo/Soul Flame color
Friendly fire…isn’t.
Somewhere between panel 12 and 16 Agog made the decision to turn round to face Jadis rather than avoid being stabbed by an icicle.
The airburst was a lot colder than I expected, though I fear shards aplenty to come. This shall hurt.
Also, Jadis is straight outa that dying world that nserted itself into Narnia.
