BREAKER OF INFINITIES 1-23
Chapter: 1
“The Universal Sword – cut everywhere at once. Then there will be nowhere left for your enemy to stand.”

“The Universal Sword – cut everywhere at once. Then there will be nowhere left for your enemy to stand.”
-Ryo ten Ryam
“Be where your enemy thinks you are not, and you will take the advantage. Be everywhere and nowhere, be your enemy, be nobody, and you will surely win the day.”
Machinations, 12201:15
It is fitting that the masters of the universe be unable to look past even the most petty of slights, no matter how dire the circumstances.
Mammon has the excuse of being largely senile, but Nadia increasingly comes across as incompetent and clueless.
Gog-Agog may be providing comic relief, but her power definitely isn’t going to lie in the physical dust-up that’s happening here. No doubt she immediately set her multitudes into motion in response to this engagement.
This is Solomon’s home, and likely one of the places in the multiverse where her influence is weakest. She likely wishes to preserve this particular form in order to continue observing the battle here. Why she insists on running in place while impaled is lost on my, other than an authorial decision to lighten things up a little.
I’ve no doubt that Al-YISUN’s escapades in her realm have still left Mottom shaken – the bearer of the word 「Glory」 is still shaken by her perilous new mortality. Such a weakness, refusing to accept that death shall one day come calling, can weigh down even the mightiest of minds.
The question is, whatever is going through Jadis’s mind?
Everything.
Caramelldansen.
Because she is a clown.
The ultimate sword technique cuts every which way at once, and is proof that even a god can be a fool.
Which is superior, a thousand cuts or one? The true master understands the flaw in the question. The blade that can make an enemy bleed with no cut at all is superior. This is known as the art of Formless Striking, and only a complete fool can master it.
Making your enemy bleed is foolishness. It should take only a moment’s observation to tell that the enemy is already bleeding by his own blade.
Something is going on, or is going to, between Jadis and Gog.
It remains to be seen whether a blade that is everywhere can cut a man whose blood cannot be shed. I love this comic.
Did…Jaggles steal Inky’s key in the previous page? Is that why Motty’s grumping at Mambles?
And so, the only ruler of the Seven Part World who was more than just a murderous monster hurls himself directly into the apocalypse to punch it to death.
It’s pretty much his own fault that the end of the world he effectively stands alone.
But I suppose that until now, he alone was enough.
At first I thought Solomon got turned into gray paste in that 5th panel
Sploosh.
Jagganoth: Power overwhelming
Solomon David: I’m superman, bitches!
Gog-agog: why is no one laughing? I’m hilarious!
Jadis: *Icy silence*
Mammon: Do you know how rich I am!?!
Mottom: It’s somebody else’s fault!
Incubus: *clip missing*
You two can sit here and argue. I’m going to now.
The sun, in journey to the west,
holds the tale, takes the test,
leaps (to pillars) the furthest
A fool who knows her canteen is empty and gives up.
A fool who does not understand that his canteen is empty.
A fool who knows his canteen is empty but presses on towards his destination anyway.
Will we know the difference when we observe their corpses?
Good reference.
Six Villains is observant.
Well then, either David is going to be committing a very brave suicide in a last ditch effort to stop this madness or he has one last Ace hidden somewhere that his enemy has not learned of yet and is about to in the least desirable way possible.
Let’s not kid ourselves though. If Jagganoth weren’t head and shoulders above the other demiurges, I fully expect he’d be working together with other exactly as terribly as they are.
I don’t know. I think Jaggy and Jaddy would make a great team.
Solomon David being a role model . . .
Anyone getting Donnie Darko vibes from Mammoth in the last panel?
WHERE’S THE REF ?
Sure is
Too Bad
Zoss Can’t Referee –
– This Mad Scrum
This Titan Bash
This Free for All.
I Wish That SOMEONE would Say,
“Mottom ! Mammon !
To your Corners – GO !”
“Will you Lose EVERYTHING
because you can’t even
PRETEND to be Team players ?”
Then I’d dish out some Face SMACKS
TO WAKE THEM UP.
Incredible – so Desperate to Turn upon each Other.
So Fearful of Facing Jagganoth squarely.
Mr. J is Seriously Opening Up
his bag of Mighty Offensive Magickal Attacks.
Offensive as in –
“This One will Fricassee you into julienne fries in a nano-sec.”
Not Offensive as in:
“Yo Momma Can Ride This Flaming Sword of Doom !”
Maybe Solomon David heard that anyway.
For mighty leap did he make into the Maelstrom.
Now to See
If Diamond will
Cut / Break Sword.
Be reasonable demiurges, silencing Jagganath at this point will only further divide the concordance. (Sorry not sorry.)
But I’m curious about Solomon’s blue-and-purple fire there. The most obvious explanation is he’s about to combine the raw god power with Ki Rata. . .or maybe that’s too obvious.
Does Mammon sound like Smaug
I’m gonna go ahead and say yes, Mammon is voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch
He was the strongest of us.
We are torn.
First, we could observe that Solomon is a man facing a foe who seems impossible to defeat…who just watched an inspiring angel prove that through sheer Will it may be possible to defeat an impossible foe but a few scant minutes ago. And now his flame burns blue. Can so prideful a man let himself be outdone by such an unrelenting display of raw stubborn refusal to concede? We think not.
BUT Second, and closer to our hearts, we see a very shapely and athletic man charging another shapely and athletic man, both defined by catastrophic loss that hardened and sharpened their souls until they became inured to the suffering of others. Two beautiful, tragic, lonely men, made even more alone by their terrible power and majesty.
…would it be such a terrible thing if they were to kiss?
Once again I wonder if Solomon’s real sin was the suffering he inflicted, or the stasis.
In any case, a kiss couldn’t hurt.
There’s a mask in the way. Also Jaggy’s too big, he’d accidentally vore the Salami.
Does this look like the infamous Ten Finger Ki Rata attack? Remember we saw Solomon use his pink to shatter a boulder…
Ha! The fools fight amongst themselves!
Him Diamond.
Godspeed Mr. Shine.
