You’re probably going to be waiting a very long time. Angels don’t reincarnate in a matter of years or even decades. It’s more on the order of millennia.
Is one right in thinking that the length of time of last incarnation is the same time taken in hibernation to reincarnate, one cannot remember. Prime angels were around for many many kalpa indeed and have still not woken to their 2nd embodiment, whilst younger brethren have manifold times been slain and returned. One does not know how long Delicious lived in her 23rd iteration.
Not to be a hater (unless you take offense then I’m totally hating) but it’s very obvious given the overall themes of the story that the 7 fighting is only going to take up a small part of this final chapter. We’ve been continuously reminded that overconfidence in martial skill and reputation is lethal so why would we spend what’s likely to be at least 150 pages watching the mutual destruction squad duke it out? Like this entire mess started with philosopher god kings fighting and destroying reality, they’re all more likely to hold hands by the 5th page than anything.
ps. jaggy babes that thong is really doing it for me xoxo
…I am a being of peace who has endured the worst that the multiverse can muster up, all in the name of keeping safe those who must be defended most ardently. I am a shield that shelters the weak and righteous, and I bear my scars with a glad heart, knowing that they adorn one who can withstand such hurts with little consequence. Every fist that strikes me is diverted from an innocent, every sword turned draws no blood. I am not given to anger or hatred, and in that I am much like my brother, 10 Vigilant Gaze Purges the Horizon.
…but Jagganoth is a blood-drunk beast who uses any and every excuse he can muster to indulge in slaughter, and my soul flame flares with cold fury at mention of his name. If there were to exist any being who’s death would elicit no sorrow from me, it would be his.
This angel lies. Do not trust 11 Righteous Guardian Protects the Innocent, for he is not interested in correcting the mistaken drop of a digit in his name. This lie of omission is the 7th greatest sin an angel can commit. And for that I censure you, RGP.
Righteous Guardian is as much my opposite as one of our kind can be without engaging in apostasy… but they are no liar. If anything, their honesty is so relentless as to be tiresome.
Yeah, you are not making Alison any more incliend to give you her power. Whatever he wants that for on top of everything, he seems to be doing quite well without it.
First thing those rival demiurges should have done is teleport Jagganoth’s unheld swords to the far reaches of the multiverse. No reason to leave the man with nukes in hand after he declares war on existence.
So, is Jagganoth trying to make like the gods of old, the multiplicity, that each died to make a spoke in the wheel?
Because the design here seems to call back to that idea, of death, spokes, and wheels. I wonder if that’s where he got his ideas from. Trying to create something out of a whole lot of death? But the death of others, instead of himself?
As a non-native user of English, I can only wonder what Abbadon means by “stunt on a dude”. This must be the first time I’ve come across this expression.
A stunt is an action that demonstrates skill and style. Stunting on someone then is doing something then with more style and flair than is necessary. So Solomon waiting till the last moment and then seemingly just blurring right through the blow was “stunting on Jagganoth”
One does not know when the noun for a dangerous / outrageous feat transitioned to being a verb also (over and above its homonym of limiting growth), and one had neither heard it used in such a fashion until this instance. There is an honourable tradition in doing so however, for example ‘a sovereign shame so elbows him’ – happily a noun for centuries, elbow becomes a verb.
In the mechanics of the Exalted roleplaying game, a stunt is when you describe something in a way that sounds cool, and thus get a variable bonus of dice for your actions and or regain willpower.
I’m guessing Suleyman Daoud just pulled a 1-die stunt, because that was pretty basic.
Oh, and it looks like that strike just missed Allison and friends!
I’m still waiting for 24 Liminal Blossom to show up
After what Juggy did to her?

Haha yeah it’s not Solomon himself I’m worried about. It’s all the collateral damage that will happen around him.
So, by the looks of things. is Jagganoth a Posadist?
No! Posadists have a more coherent narrative! He’s got a noble motivation and then he’s got his attack on all creation and they don’t square!
Jagganoth *definitely* believes in personal ownership of nuclear weapons.
wtf red guy, it sounds like the people dying will be missing out on something great
I think we’ve seen just how little Solomon is to be messed with. Dude punched an angel so hard it has a vagina now.
Right! Imagine what he could do to Jagganoth’s junk!
Do not pretend to command my heart, red one. I will mourn who I wish.
If I had anywhere to run to, I’d duck out now.
Lol that cut tho. Jaggy bends it like Beckham
This one notes with interest that both demiurges we have seen ravage Rayuba have had a red atum and motif

His armor makes no sense for a right-handed swordsman.
Shh, don’t spoil that surprise!
I’ll take that wager.
It does if, as someone else pointed out, the armor isn’t to protect him from others attacks, but from the backlash of his own.
If it was designed to protect him from his own attacks, wouldn’t he protect both sides?
MESSATSU!
hehe Jagganoth said taint

Rig-Veda
HYMN XXIII. Brahmaṇaspati.
Lines 11 – 17
Strong, never yielding, hastening to the battle-cry, consumer of the foe, victorious in the strife,
Thou art sin’s true avenger, Brahmaṇaspati, who tamest e’en the fierce, the wildly passionate.
Whoso with mind ungodly seeks to do us harm, who, deeming him a man of might mid lords, would slay,
—Let not his deadly blow reach us, Bṛhaspati; may we humiliate the strong ill-doer’s wrath.
The mover mid the spoil, the winner of all wealth, to be invoked in fight and reverently adored,
Bṛhaspati hath overthrown like cars of war all wicked enemies who fain would injure us.
Burn up the demons with thy fiercest flaming brand, those who have scorned thee in thy manifested might.
Show forth that power that shall deserve the hymn of praise: destroy the evil speakers, O Bṛhaspati.
Bṛhaspati, that which the foe deserves not which shines among the folk effectual, splendid,
That, Son of Law I which is with might refulgent-that treasure wonderful bestow thou on us.
Give us not up to those who, foes in ambuscade, are greedy for the wealth of him who sits at ease,
Who cherish in their heart abandonment of Gods.
Bṛhaspati, no further rest shall they obtain.
For Tvaṣṭar, he who knows each sacred song, brought thee to life, preeminent o’er all the things that be.
Guilt-scourger, guilt-avenger is Bṛhaspati, who slays the spoiler and upholds the mighty Law.
ah hell no, a demiurge that has read Nietzsche AND Schopenhauer, we are so very f*****.
Yeah, you are not making Alison any more incliend to give you her power. Whatever he wants that for on top of everything, he seems to be doing quite well without it.
Lmao at the author’s note.

I like that.
Mammon is all like casually, not even really tracking what’s going wrong: “You know what I don’t have enough of in my vault? Giant-ass swords!”
[YOINK]
A true king would have blocked.

He intends to recycle our wheel.
Go get your own dirt, mortal!

I didn’t want to be right about the whole pressing the reset button idea, especially not in the context of…This!!
God DAMMIT, JAGGANOTH
The switch is now on OFF.
Well time to move to another plane of existence.
