BREAKER OF INFINITIES 1-27 to 1-28
Chapter: 1
“I heard among my travels whispered rumors – spurious, I am almost certain – that nearly all Ki Rata techniques could be doubled in power and intensity by a particularly skilled master. The idea alone is so ludicrous as to be silly. To start, who among the whole wheel would need to harness the use of that scale of destructive power?”
-Musko Reeve, Manual of Hands and Feet
Jagganoth:
“They told me you could punch, David! They told me you could punch as hard as Joe Louis!”
Solomon David:
“I thought he was just one more pretender to royalty until, in my stopped time within the stopped time, I punched him ten thousand times in a single instant, and he held me and whispered in my ear: ‘That all you got, Dave?’ I realized that this ain’t what I thought it was.”
Mugen in the civic centre.
Devilish but some intender
loses badge. Where’s E venture?
Jagganoth’s supposed invulnerability is less useful than it might seem. There are a million ways to deal with someone who is invulnerable (or thinks their opinions are, ask my boss). I mean, suppose Solomon could keep him in stopped time forever? Or stick him in the center of a sun to roast for a couple billion years? Or inflict him with eternal hiccups (Gog’s solution)?
I agree, this attack of Solomon’s is surely not as pointless as some people seem to think. His quote from 1-5 was “You shall be cast down, and your power stifled by words of sealing. Your name shall be execrated from history, and your body cast into the eternal void beneath Throne.” He’s surely working toward that here… what remains is to see if his plan will get anywhere.
I bet there’s some mighty interesting junk floating around in the void beneath throne…
Yep. Interesting people too, or at least their remains. Abbadon said on Tumblr that anybody thrown off the edge falls for ever, and probably dies from dehydration.
Of course, for anybody who _can’t_ starve or dehydrate, being thrown off Throne is even nastier. There’s probably devils and such down who upset the wrong person centuries ago and they’re still screaming.
THE EYE OF THE GOD EATER YET GLEAMS, SOLOMON
So, Emperor Solomon has decided that the best course of action is to utilize his most powerfull skills. But not one at a time, as such would be a waste of energy. No, he has chosen to use them all at once. Such an act of violence is certainly going to leave Jagganoth with something to think about, as even if he is unkillable as he seems to think he is that says nothing about his ability to be stopped.
Oh My Dog he finally used the serious series serious punches!
That’s the only thing i ever wanted out of him, his character arc is complete.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a ploy by Jagganoth and Incubus, possibly also Gog Magog:
1) Feign conflict between Incubus and Jagganoth. Incubus pretends to be again Jagganoth and attacks him; Jagganoth “retaliates”, and Incubus is flung away. Is Incubus hurt? Probably not.
2) Jagganothe provokes Solomon David into expending a powerful attack, which may well tire him out some. We’ve seen how Solomon can be surprised.
3) Incubus sneaks up while Solomon is recovering from performing the 10,000 blows. Surprise!
4) Gog Magog hates Solomon David. She may contribute to the surprise.
5) Possible twist, unforeseen by Ja, In, and Ga: Maya interrupts the surprise with a little surprise of her own.
I kinda suspect Jagg outplayed Incubus all along, and now that he’s played his hand (“too soon”) Incubus is forced to resort to fighting him for real.
Which makes Maya’s arrival somewhat ominous. Wouldn’t it be suitably tragic if she struck down Incubus right before he lands the final blow to Jagganoth, achieving her petty revenge at the cost of dooming the entire multiverse?
Maya is surely gonna interrupt, and she’ll certainly do it at a moment that is EXTREMELY inconvenient for somebody, maybe Inky, maybe someone else as you suggest.`
Maya’s arrival time is largely dependant on how many noodle bars are still standing between her and the fight
And as a finishing flourish, he punches his beard back to the top of his head and stands there in “Deal with it” stance.
Can someone please translate the kanji into actual Japanese words not English.
I think it’s like, a weird alien language inspired by kanji. It would be cool to know how it’s supposed to sound though.
一瞬萬撃: Die Ten Thousand Deaths.
Someone else translated them further up!
mans moving at blink speed while in frozen time. now that’s impressive.
The thing about punching Jagganoth in the dick is that then you’re touching his dick.
Technically no, because the codpiece shields you from direct contact. Unless you punch clean through the codpiece, of course.
You think that’s any better? Whilst other men washed their codpieces, Jagganoth studied the Blade
While I’m dying from laughter, I think Jagganoth probably spent a lot of time washing codpieces as a slave in the corpse legion.
Which of course is why he vowed to never do so again.
chim is 80% about being fine with touching dick
Royalty is a continuous touching motion
+1
Errybody talking about Dave’s unbending sense of decorum in not punching Jaggers in the scrote. As if this wasn’t just him charging up for the dickpunch.
I’m certain the next update will be a hyper-detailed close-up of those two little nards getting absolutely obliterated
Finishing move: Series Sequence Serious Punches
Diamond is unbreakable.
Diamond is flammable.
that’s a pretty good ora ora right there
really missed having one square in the jewels
Could this be the end of Jagganoth’s fetching bunny-ear hat?
Is this a jojo reference?
Aaaaaaaaand I’m caught up! Just in time to see Jagganoth get his divine ass divinely kicked. What a treat!
Salami Dave bringin’ the pain!
no meme: Muda.
I think an important question would be…. Could Solomon do that before having the key? we know he was strong enough to kill demiurges without it so, have we actually seen him using the power of a demiurge so far?
He flew. No just jumped very high, but flew up from the arena and hovered long enough to monologue at White Chain. That’s key stuff. Everything else, including all the fighting techniques, is Ki Rata IMO.
I think creating the forcefield dome over the arena throughout the tournament was key stuff too.
Just a single moment of teamwork enabled the demiurges their greatest strike against Jags. Can they manage such collaboration a few times more?
Ten Thousand blows and yet the Jaggahog remains untouched. An oversight on Salami Dave’s part to not hack that sack.
So -THAT’S- where Hokuto Shinken came from.
