Surebaet, King of Noodles–it’s a “sure bet” you’ll love your bowl!
Incubus, Mammon and Mottom seem willing to take on Jagganoth on their own with no thought to the others. Solomon David and Jadis seem more like team players. I suspect Gog-Agog is a team player as well if only because that would be in her nature (she is a group mind after all).
Physics, admittedly not a strong and reliable force in this universe, but still: physics. If the sword hadn’t had all it’s energy converted into shatter-action, big Dave would now be sailing quickly away on a parabolic arc.
…his beard jewelry and friendship bracelets still intact.
And sure the swordmaster fighter tried to get all cutesy at the beginning there, but of course, nothing came of it. The party’s well balanced, but rolling pretty mediocre this fight…
I knew those swords were going to start breaking eventually. He wouldn’t have brought that many if they were going to last.
The only question I have left is how indestructible is jagganoth himself really? He’s supposedly reinforced with help from the angels, but that has always felt like a red herring to me. So I’m kind of waiting for Maya to just cut him in half RKO out of nowhere style at some point.
I don’t know why, but Jaggy has always given off immense jobber energy to me. But who knows, maybe the true misdirect is that he isn’t a red herring at all.
I wonder which of the demis could do that? Jadis or Mottom through some kind of sorcery? Maybe Solomon could go into his hyperspeed mode and pluck them out like chicken feathers!
Sorry, but that sounds ridiculous, considering that everything that exists has it’s origin in Yisun. So a tiny part of Them would be more powerful than the whole? Makes no sense to me. Then again, Yisun was not much of a Deity by any stretch of the imagination.
I expect Jagganoth to punch SD another 100 miles as his counter attack.
Also how long did venerable Salami spend digging underground in his relative frame of Ki Rata experience? There is now a canonical Salami Hole somewhere in the ruins of old Rayuba.
While I am all for naming a new classification of inchnofossil that is specifically indicative of excavation via rapid-fire punching, I suspect you may wish to workshop ‘Salami Hole’ a little before committing to it.

Boy oh boy… Wait till he learns that diamonds are cut by such soft things as water. Does that mean that water is harder? Well this here SD seems to prove it before our very eyes!
Credit where it’s due, between Jadis and Solomon at least some of the demiurges seem to be thinking of actually shielding their allies and not just attacking like mad dogs.
At all!!! I definitely started watching anime for the bara fanservice and Salami Dave is all that and more. Kind’ve reminds me of that Tae Bo instructor guy
I am pretty disappointed in Mottom in this fight, she nearly zapped her own team with lightning that didn’t even hurt the red god, blew her concentration check to cast spells just because a big dog bumped into her when he ran by, she had to be saved by a freaking paraplegic (who is doing better then her in this fight in general despite being a popsicle), and then she blundered around clearly having no idea what the hell to do to protect herself in this situation and came within inches of being picked off if not for Salami Dave showing up with the save. Seriously, I feel this bears reiterating, the paraplegic encased in an immobile crystal pillar is making more effective contributions to the fight then Mottom.
Has she gone senile or something? Is it because she showed up old instead of eating some of her last few fruit first?
It’s because the demiurges do not play well with others. They haven’t fought alongside anyone in thousands of years, if ever (especially in Mottom’s case), just growing complacent as the undisputed lords of one seventh of all creation.
Only Solomon attempted to prepare for this eventuality. And they routinely dismissed his concerns.
Your anatomy is gorgeous, and your facial expressions are killer — but your pinkies never squish into the hand when characters make a fist. It’s only so striking because you’ve got the rest of the art down pat
Yes, the true secret of ki-rata!
It’s all in the pinkie.
And a little bit of wrist action.
Hold the pinkie wrong and nothing happens.
You just stand there, sooo embarrassed.
At least Solomon has understood from the start that they needed to work together. If anything, that was probably the best argument for Allison taking over from Mottom or some other.
Exactly my though. It looks like dear Ol’ Solomon actually learned something from his last fight. Shame he had no time to capitalize on this with another unproductive council meeting.
has anyone noticed that jagganoth is not drawn with nails shown? Considering that he has rebelled against his former master/benefactor It might have been wise to remove them on his part. Also considering that he would have been immune to harm, he sure is being cautious in combat. I think he doesn’t have the nails anymore or that they don’t work anymore and is banking on everyone else not knowing.
Yeah I mean sure she might have fought in the previous conquest to some degree as we see her wearing armor but also she inherited her key through mariticide and not all out battle. The most she’s used her abilities for in ages seems to be keeping her palace afloat and punishing anyone foolish enough to disobey her. tldr she’s squish

A lot of work when there’s a much simpler solution. I prefer to cast my enemies into the terrible black flame of En, where they are erased so completely that nobody will ever know they had existed.
Of course, I’ve never had to do this. After all, I have no enemies.

My favorite part is no halo. No soul fire. It is all contained within, the fire is internal, the breath held in the lungs, but the world still shatters around him.
Mottom X Solomon David?
Sorry, it’s my inner nature to ship.
…..may one endeavor, only incrementally? The Lord Emperor and the Beaming Radiance? It hurts one to think of it, but only in the way that one might like to hurt.
Surebaet, King of Noodles–it’s a “sure bet” you’ll love your bowl!
…..<3
During moments of intense concentration, a grandmaster’s halo may be entirely suppressed.
Foolish adversaries are tempted to confuse this for exhaustion.
I believe its more of a tactical courtesy.
Cant win against the big bad if the scales tip in his favor.
Incubus, Mammon and Mottom seem willing to take on Jagganoth on their own with no thought to the others. Solomon David and Jadis seem more like team players. I suspect Gog-Agog is a team player as well if only because that would be in her nature (she is a group mind after all).
Hah. Should they cooperate, perhaps they will find that Jagganoth too is a team player. Or at least does not object to vultures flying in his wake.
War is not a lonely profession.
He wants that gussy
fuck you, no. just…no. *shudders*
…this comment is unfathomably perfect. my hat’s off to you, sirrah.
Miles, I’ve communed with the gnashing council and we all agree: we’re revoking your “best boy” status.
I’m not sure I like any of this or any of you >:,V
Please retract those words from the noisome hole you call your mouth
Do we call this ship Solomottom or Mottomon, though?
Mottomon is clearly the superior choice
Mottomon sounds like a creature that continuously repeats “gotta catch’em all”
We call it Mothermon Dom.
Solomom.
She clearly does look like his mom
I was just referencing the fact that “Mottom” is short for “Mother Om”.
M A K E I T H A P P E N
chad
Solomon is the only Chad by any metric that matters
Nonono, Solomon is the only _living_ chad, but he is merely a shadow of the One True Chad, Loss.
Solomon is but a SIMP. PREEM CHAD JAGGANOTH SHALL RULE ETERNAL!
The sheer force needed to stop a blow like that, midair with no traction or stable footing… truly monumental
Physics, admittedly not a strong and reliable force in this universe, but still: physics. If the sword hadn’t had all it’s energy converted into shatter-action, big Dave would now be sailing quickly away on a parabolic arc.
…his beard jewelry and friendship bracelets still intact.
But his robe is no longer as white as it used to be. Oh well…
Next page has him flying off like Team Rocket
I think he actually punched through and shattered the blade, rather than block it
Wow
Yes wow. The abs must become crystallized and harder than the fingernails of Cher.
And now we know why Solomon considers himself a hero. If this were any other series we’d probably agree.
Mottom, this is why you don’t make Wisdom your dump stat…
This is why the Monk and Wizard are the only one getting anything done. Damn Sorcerers.
And sure the swordmaster fighter tried to get all cutesy at the beginning there, but of course, nothing came of it. The party’s well balanced, but rolling pretty mediocre this fight…
Yeah, only the monk and the ice cube are being relevant here.
I’M BACK!
Lo!
He rises, fist a focal point!
The stinging-tip of a pin, that is a sword,
That is a stone, diamond uncut,
The tip of a pin, crowned in one-billion, dancing, living flames,
Wearing bangles of star-mined gold!
SALAMI DAVE!
I knew those swords were going to start breaking eventually. He wouldn’t have brought that many if they were going to last.

I don’t know why, but Jaggy has always given off immense jobber energy to me. But who knows, maybe the true misdirect is that he isn’t a red herring at all.
You probably need to pull every single one of those nails out of his hide before you can start thinking of doing damage.
I wonder which of the demis could do that? Jadis or Mottom through some kind of sorcery? Maybe Solomon could go into his hyperspeed mode and pluck them out like chicken feathers!
Considering that Abbadon has confirmed that Yisun wouldn’t be able to hurt Jagganoth, I’m going to say he’s every bit as indestructible as advertised.
Yisun is everybody, before being cut apart into the form of everybody. Its edge indeed might not be quite as sharp as just a fragment of itself.
Where did we learn this again? I can never keep all these details straight.
Abbadon’s tumblr posts :3
Sorry, but that sounds ridiculous, considering that everything that exists has it’s origin in Yisun. So a tiny part of Them would be more powerful than the whole? Makes no sense to me. Then again, Yisun was not much of a Deity by any stretch of the imagination.
It’s the old omnipotence paradox. Can God create a rock that he himself could not break?
In this case, the answer appears to be “yes”
I’m actually surprised at how conventional this chapter has been so far.
When irresistible force meets immovable salami…
Preem Avgvst is observant.
Punching based excavation is apparently quite efficient when you’re a grandmaster of Ki Rata
I expect Jagganoth to punch SD another 100 miles as his counter attack.
Also how long did venerable Salami spend digging underground in his relative frame of Ki Rata experience? There is now a canonical Salami Hole somewhere in the ruins of old Rayuba.
PUNCH Through Spacetime- Matter and Void!
While I am all for naming a new classification of inchnofossil that is specifically indicative of excavation via rapid-fire punching, I suspect you may wish to workshop ‘Salami Hole’ a little before committing to it.
One never commits to Salami Hole phraseology if one is not Salami themselves.
and I am not yet cured, Meatman!
“Canonical Salami Hole” – words that should never have existed in combination and yet here we are, bathing in its beauty. Well done.
TBM: Tunnel Boring Master
u mad bro?
Dave logged back in to carry the team like he carries his interdimensional empire.
the king of pride!
(he’s still no escanor)
Jaggy has to have a slew of *very* good tricks left to overcome a unified effort.
Me thinks Thorns will show up along with their masters…..
One can see that there is no actual unified effort, SD is too full of pride to go full support and nobody else but Jadis seems wise enough to try.
Ah, but the Diamond King would make an excellent tank.
I was a fan of Solomon David’s when he was still underground.
Underrated comment.
“M’lady”
And unlike with Gohan, this didn’t cost him an arm.
Bearer of the word Diamond
… it makes him a terrific drill, among other things
Don’t make Salami Dave angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.
DRAMATIC ENTRY!!
Wow
This is starting to remind me of a different ultimate showdown.
WHO PROCEEDED TO OPEN UP A CAN OF KI RATA
He did not break the sword that casts DOOM when used, right?
I believe that sword is still in the possesion of Zagreus of Hades.
Fucking damn he is so cool.
see? it took him a minute.
bugs bunny
The mental images you have poisoned me with constitute an unspeakable curse.
Hrmm… Just when you think he couldn’t get more swole. BAM! More swole!
I see even now he still believes himself to be the hero.
um he just saved his gf he is a hero show some respect
Did you see what happened to the last guy who dated her?
I expect Jagganoth to punch SD another 100 miles as his counter attack.
Also how long did venerable Salami spend digging underground in his relative frame of Ki Rata experience? There is now a canonical Salami Hole somewhere in the ruins of old Rayuba.
Well, looks like somebody thought to protect the mage.
Tsk. Jagganoth should know that you can’t cut a diamond.
Buddy, I have got news for you about what people do to diamonds.
Give them to future ex-wives?
Ha ha ha ha!!!
Well played, Amoeboid, well played!
Yes, a diamond may be forever.
Spouses on the hand…
Okay, well, yes, people do cut diamonds. But they need to cut them with other diamonds, not with swords made of not-diamond.
True, but a synthetic diamond can be far harder than a natural one, and both shatter with a simple hammer blow. Diamond is hard, but it is not strong.
Boy oh boy… Wait till he learns that diamonds are cut by such soft things as water. Does that mean that water is harder? Well this here SD seems to prove it before our very eyes!
OH GOD DEAR LORD HOW AM I STILL HERE
You didn’t think it was gonna be that easy, did you?
You know…for a second there…I kinda did.
Tricks is for kids!
Solomon David is a badass, but it’s also kind of funny how he is a badass currently sharing technique DNA with Naruto.
Credit where it’s due, between Jadis and Solomon at least some of the demiurges seem to be thinking of actually shielding their allies and not just attacking like mad dogs.
I am *never* going to get tired of detailed shots of shirtless Solomon David.
At all!!! I definitely started watching anime for the bara fanservice and Salami Dave is all that and more. Kind’ve reminds me of that Tae Bo instructor guy
My gods. It’s a (1) teamwork.
Now to see who screws everything up for everyone else next!
A single teamwork. Solemn Dad’s gift to the multiverse.
I am pretty disappointed in Mottom in this fight, she nearly zapped her own team with lightning that didn’t even hurt the red god, blew her concentration check to cast spells just because a big dog bumped into her when he ran by, she had to be saved by a freaking paraplegic (who is doing better then her in this fight in general despite being a popsicle), and then she blundered around clearly having no idea what the hell to do to protect herself in this situation and came within inches of being picked off if not for Salami Dave showing up with the save.

Your anatomy is gorgeous, and your facial expressions are killer — but your pinkies never squish into the hand when characters make a fist. It’s only so striking because you’ve got the rest of the art down pat
Perhaps that is ki-rata’s secret. Never curl the pinky completely.
Yes, the true secret of ki-rata!
It’s all in the pinkie.
And a little bit of wrist action.
Hold the pinkie wrong and nothing happens.
You just stand there, sooo embarrassed.
Solomon clearly knows the secrets of the Wushi Finger Hold
Angery Dave is ANGERIESTNESSEST!
why must you make us endure the solomon stans oh comic-lord
just kill him
let it end
but then you just get the jaggy simps
Not to mention the Goggy trolls. Or the Nadia cucks.
We will have our day in the all consuming supernova eventually. Let him continue to fight, it’s amusing.
Dave is here, man.
That’s one seriously hard salami, Dave.
+1 for reference
YES! Called it!
BTW, this is the most impressive superfight I’ve ever seen. And that last picture of Solomon David is pure awesomeness!
At least Solomon has understood from the start that they needed to work together. If anything, that was probably the best argument for Allison taking over from Mottom or some other.
Ïa! The beard of DIAMOND surviveth the very molten core of Rayuba! Praise the beard!
Yay, they seem to finally begin learning how to cooperate!
Exactly my though. It looks like dear Ol’ Solomon actually learned something from his last fight. Shame he had no time to capitalize on this with another unproductive council meeting.
Dudes. They just won’t let you get a spell in edgewise.
Like, did Nadia ASK to be White Knighted??? Because it seems like he kind of just assumed :/
Hrmm… True. She was definitely askin’ to get ganked though, that’s for sure. Time to step up yer game, Nadia. Put the POW back in Girl Power!
Do you think Nadia Om effectively utilized Girl Power by sending legions of plunderers and mercenaries into the plane of Aiman-Shan?
Hrmm… Figure that would depend on if she succeeded in meeting her goals in Aiman-Shan. If so, then yes: she effectively utilized her Girl Power.
has anyone noticed that jagganoth is not drawn with nails shown? Considering that he has rebelled against his former master/benefactor It might have been wise to remove them on his part. Also considering that he would have been immune to harm, he sure is being cautious in combat. I think he doesn’t have the nails anymore or that they don’t work anymore and is banking on everyone else not knowing.
Unless I’m remembering incorrectly, the nails were driven into his back, which is currently hidden by a large fur cloak.
Solomon David finally reveals his most powerful weapon, a new form of Ki Rata he developed in secret: Mole-style.
Kill Six Billion Luxury Golf Courses
I’m the Underminer!
After that Draco Meteor crack from a few pages ago, no follow-up with a “Solomon David used DIG!” joke?
Solomon David is definitely a Rock/Fighting type.
Nadia increasingly seems entirely unprepared for this fight.
Yeah I mean sure she might have fought in the previous conquest to some degree as we see her wearing armor but also she inherited her key through mariticide and not all out battle. The most she’s used her abilities for in ages seems to be keeping her palace afloat and punishing anyone foolish enough to disobey her. tldr she’s squish
Solomon’s Ki Rata isn’t easily disturbed.
For our pleasure.
The earth shifts
grabs from rifts
Bacon crisps
Solomon, bustin’ through!
EVERYONE”S HERE!
It’s somewhat amusing to note that White Chain’s punch appears to have hurt Solomon David more than Jagganoth’s assault.
I suspect Solomon’s invincibility is pretty much just a “when I concentrate real good” kind of thing, so only an unexpected blow can harm him.
He’s back and ready to you kick your ass!
King
Go Salami go! We’re all rooting for you!
PERFECTED SWOLE STANCE! PATH OF RULERSHIP!

Typical. Lee Sin saves a teammate with Safeguard and everyone cheers.

Please tell me he also dug through the ground by punching it.
