Meanwhile Gog-Agog is sitting in the ashes of the audience, bored, checking her face in the mirror and wondering what to have for lunch.
Bingo! I was thinking about that. Does GogA ever fight? It seems like she may just depend on absorbing the population little by little. But what would it be like to fight several megatons of sentient worms that can take any shape they want?
Gog doesn’t fight, it seems, but she does sometimes win. Five minutes ago, she’d shafted Solomon with populism and was in the process of separating him from his empire. Jagganoth can’t be defeated by violence, but maybe one of Gog’s psycho-political “wait, what just happened?” attacks can affect him.
Finally, the poorest swordsman jumps into action! I’ve been looking forward to this.
Word of god is she is far and away the strongest of the seven, but she’s cripplingly mad. My guess is that most of that power is in infiltration, economics, raw intelligence, practical omnipresence… soft power.
Jagganoth is really working that thong.
Abaddon, why does Incubus have to creepily lick his sword like that.
Pls explain.
Tasty.
’cause he’s creepy. that’s all, I think.
He a nasty, dirty stink-boy
Who are we to question the demiurges? Perhaps that sensuous lick is part of a spell, which blesses his swords and lets it strike true. Perhaps his spit is poison, and licking his blade makes it that much more deadly.
On the other hand, maybe he’s just a creepy fucking weirdo who gets off on licking his sword just before he starts fighting.
My bet is on poison too. Unfortunate that he didn’t get a chance to so much as scratch his opponent. I think someone mentioned previously that the six have no experience whatsoever fighting together and this will be their downfall.
Blood Magic.
Yes, this. Incuboy lives in a vat of blood and clearly derives some of his power from it, so the idea of him licking his sword before the fight is a little like polishing your spoon before desert. Only we know something that he does not know: Maya is serving ice cold revenge pudding.
You don’t get to be the embodiment of Lust without licking a thing or two.
Yeah there are better ways to express your inner passion besides licking things and getting weird diseases from it.
…but are there really tho?
My grandfather always told me to wipe my feet before a battle so I didn’t track muddy footprints over my enemy’s sword. I thought he was speaking in metaphor, but once again his advice proved to be both sage and literal.
Holy shit.
First observation: Hot DAMN, that demonstration of Sword Law. And what a save from Incubus! The Sword King of the Middle Army is a team player after all! (For *now*, anyway.)
Second observation: Dear Majistrix Om, have you ever heard of “drawing the eye of UN-AGRO”? You see, it’s a glyphosphere term for “when in a fight with a group of others against a single powerful opponent, bringing unnecessary attention to oneself and thus–”
Er, never mind. You’re likely to experience it firsthand, shortly.
At which time, Allison’s Earth may become a free, unruled world, so that’s nice.
Poxerly blasted slow Internet, destroyed my comment instead of posting it, black slotherin’ dog tha >_<
Well, Mottom REALLY isn't a subtle queen. Not that we were ignorant before, yet she demonstrates there are no bounds for perfection.
Amazingly drawn epic with lots of iformative details hidden. I wonder whether this is indeed the end of Solomon. Yet still more intriguing is whether the Rising King accepted a wise advice and ran with her friends for the dear life.
There isn’t the slightest chance that Solomon David will perish by Whack-A-Mole. Pin the Tail on the Demiurge, possibly, but not Whack-A-Mole.
it hasnt even begun to begin yet!
In panel 9, what is bouncing out of the hole where Jagganoth pushed Solomon into the floor? And what is trailing from Jagganoth’s sword in that picture?
I believe that is Jaggy himself taking steps, then leaps, toward the sword before bounding up toward Incubus, and the line behind the sword is something like a contrail caused by its being yanked through the air so hard that the air cavitates.
Due to the hilt of the sword before and after that panel appearing a bit different, I believe he threw away the sword he pushed Solomon with, then pulled up another one from the ground, hence the trailing energy thingy. Judging from their number, each sword might’ve been made for killing one demiurge.
He didn’t throw away the sword, he pushed Solomon AND the sword down into the ground.
Yes, that appears to be what happened. But how is pushing Solomon into hole supposed to even slow him down when he can move suns?
It literally knocks Solomon away long enough to pivot to engage Incubus. Solomon can move suns, Jagganoth just hit him with probably just as much force.
I think is Solomon himself. He moves incredibly fast, and in the panel where he goes all kung-fu his footsteps make DOM DOM sounds.
So….what just happened?
let’s see.. Flame charged in while Blade was occupied with Diamond, so Blade piledrived Diamond deep in the ground and drew a spare sword. Flame ran up Blade’s sword, but his attack was spoilt by Glory’s own indiscriminate power.
Best sports commenting ever
Any theories on why Jaggo’s face goes all dark in 4th panel? Is he doing some dark magic void shit, or just being dramatic? Seems like it happens as his key starts to flare up.
I don’t know, I’m not a wizard.
He’s a real drama queen xD
In panel nine, why does Jaggy’s Atum suddenly have symbols hovering over it? Have we seen that happen before to anyone?
Might be the seven syllables of God’s name?
We have seen it on Jagganoth before actually, at the first demiurge meeting in book 1, 4-74, fifth panel. It’s faint and the symbols are different this time, but the effect is the same. I don’t recall if anyone else has done it.
One remembers Jagganoth displaying his a fair amount (with the wrong symbol at least once) and Mammon maybe more often, and Incubus one has a feeling also has displayed so once or twice. Regarding the others one is not so sure.
Oh, and Dave isn’t dead by a long shot. He’ll be back in a moment, telling Jagganoth ‘I can do this all day!’
Yes, Solomon’s return will probably be spectacular. I could see Solomon – whose great conceit is his false nobility – sacrificing himself to take out Jagger. That would actually redeem him in my eyes. But of course, Jagger is only part of a larger problem (Zoss/Metatron/etc.) and we are at the beginning of a long book that has to end with Allison.
Anyway, the Six need to get their act together or they’re going to lose. Mottom seems to be trying to harm Jagganoth with magic, but we already know he’s invulnerable. He can’t be harmed! The only hope they have is to put him in a place where he can’t get out of, and for that, they need to use strategy and work together. But it doesn’t look like they can. Not only don’t they trust eachother, there’s at least one (Inkyboy) who may be working against the others, and one (Jadis) who wants to lose so she can die!
A big hand to the author btw! This is great stuff, even for him! Love how Incubus suddenly became badass!
Worth the wait
Friendship is literally power. The Six lack enough regard for each other to strategize or even cooperate, so they will lose against the common threat.
There’s a reason why a Roman legion could take on an exponentially bigger force of Gauls. And let me tell you, the reason was not that each Roman was super jacked and could take on ten men at once.
Are you not doing alt-text anymore?
A gaggle of coyotes, nipping and pecking at one who has made himself Wolf.
Sometimes I worry that Gog-Agog’s on to something. This is terribly fun to watch.
“It is advisable for a happy life, though not precisely necessary, to avoid being piledrived into the ground. Many have found solace in such an existence, though their comfort is mostly found in their newfound lack of consciousness.”
Machinations, 6:1573
No appreciates Incubus.
While listening to “The Oxford Handbook of Savage Genocidal Warfare” I couldn’t help but visualize Cookie Monster singing. Yes, both hands wrapped around the mic stand, with the eyes swinging round and round, and the blue fur shaking like there’s no tomorrow.
Of course they cannot work together, I should have hardly expected any different. No wonder they could barely hold off Jagganoth last time, they fought each other as much as they fought The God Eater. Working separately towards the same goal will only result in failure.
God damn it Mottom. He was actually being useful (okay, maybe trecherous also, but you don’t know that yet).
He’s a master of the Art of Cutting; he’s actually one of the few Demiurges that *might* stand a chance of scratching the bastard.
Go ahead- use lighting, but show inky boy some respek
