BREAKER OF INFINITIES 3-120
Chapter: 3
Thanks for reading Kill Six Billion Demons.
The comic will be on hiatus until the end of January 2022 as I am very shortly expecting the birth of my first child.
I have some short thoughts regarding this update you can read on my twitter here (it’s also the best place to follow for updates w/ the comic and schedule). See you then!
Well damn
The damn is breached. Now the flood.
Me when someone asks me to name two structures designed to hold water.
lmfao
I couldn’t have said it better myself … or my elf.
May the author successfully beaver away at parenting.
clap my hands for a meal well done this is a perfect place to leave off from
im so fucking ready for February we are gonna E A T
Congratulations!
Congrats on the baby! Hope all goes well! Can’t wait for the Chapter 4! 😀
Congrats on the baby! Can’t wait for the next part of the story, it’s incredible!
Thank God, there were some swords to look at and also think about. I was beginning to get desperate and fashioned a crude sword out of chicken bones and my own hair and was swinging it about making “swoosh” sounds but that only soothed the cravings for so long and I had to eat all the hair because I’ve been on a hunger strike since the last sword that we saw portrayed. Also I ate the chicken bones. My stomach hurts very much. I wonder what the swords in January will be like…
Have you met Stanley the talking grapefruit? He lives in Passwall, a wonderful conversationalist.
If he has a sword that I can look at and think about (the sword) and maybe poke it around a coffee table or dining set with an index finger in a very respectful way then I’ll be there with bells on. The bells are all shaped like tiny swords but that is a secret that can remain between the melon and I
The end. Lets see what happens if we turn the wheel!
Thank you for this, Abbadon. I hope your child gives you even more joy than you have given us.
What a fucking ride. We are truly living in interesting times.
Congratulations, Abbadon. See you on the other side.
Congrats on the baby!! As a father to two, it’s okay if we don’t get an update until summer 2022. Newborns need a lot of time, work, and energy. And we barely slept with our first.
Agreed, take your time, the kid is more important. raise them right.
Congrats Abaddon! Give the new little one a warm welcome into the world from us. Fantastic, crazy update!
Congrats!
The Big Orb is gone, so we shall find ourselves another object of adoration for the next few months without any update. Praise the Red Beach!
Some Evangelion vibes can’t hurt
Time for the final seventh piece of the world to take the stage
I am losing it! I am lost! WHERE AM I?
i shall endeavour to exercise patience
You’re a father? Congratulations for you both! And thanks for these incredible pages! See you in February!
With a momentous death comes a momentous birth, the cycle of life, death, and rebirth continues as yet unabated. Mourning and celebration are due in equal measure.
Can you put your baby on hold? I’m trying to watch Incubus and Maya have an anime sword fight, and frankly that’s more important than the universe itself.
Boo.
Congratulations on everything!
Congratulations on your child! Looking forward to January.
I have a thought.
What if the Cio we saw killed was never really Cio at all? Jadis is the bearer of the word “Mind.” It would be a paltry thing to cast an illusion of Cio.
To what end, I’m not sure — an attempt to manipulate Alison, perhaps?
So bear with me here.
First, there’s no mask in Cio’s remains. Incubus clearly only struck the mask once. He did not shatter it. By all accounts, it should still be there.
Second — and correct me if I’m wrong here — there has been no indication in KSBD that demons ‘melt’ when they’re killed. And even if they did, one would expect Cio’s remains to still be there after Jadis appeared.
Yet they vanished the moment she manifested.
Finally, this comic appears to represent a different location from where Alison wound up. It’s a cratered coastline, with what appears to be embers from a blue flame drifting through the air. The same shade of blue, I might add, that’s associated with White Chain.
I may be COMPLETELY off-base here, but come the end of January, we might just be seeing Cio and White Chain again.
I doubt it. The little shards in the goo pile from last strip were Cio’s mask. And this is still the same spot, the two scars in the ground are from Allison dragging herself over to Cio’s remains. Devil bodies work weird, and we haven’t seen any devils actually killed on-panel, so this is probably just how they die, with the goo dissolving or evaporating or whatever later on to go back to the void and do black flame things. Jadis might’ve taken the mask’s shards, or we’re just not seeing them from us having a more zoomed out perspective in this panel. I think it’d be a cruel thing to do to just make Cio fake, given all the moments her and Allison have had and how she was the first person to really be along for the ride with Allison. It’d make things even more grimdark if the whole comic has just been demiurges fighting over the master key and manipulating Allison than just Cio being killed, and right now we kind of need a bit less grimdark if we’re gonna get the happy ending that Zoss shenanigans keep hinting at.
Cio is most likely dead right now, and will either stay dead or have her mask rebuilt by Jadis, whose omniscient powers are probably just right for turning a pile of dust back into a mask.
WC could be dead and just reincarnate in short order (bit less believable given the time frame angels normally operate on, even a stupid fast reincarnation is gonna take years), or she could’ve just fallen elsewhere, but she’s undoubtedly going to be alive at the end of the comic.
Ah, but then again, we’ve seen a couple of dead devils already – right at the end of Big Mammon Heist. And they left a couple of very toss-overboardable bodies behind.
On the other hand, their masks were intact, so who knows how it actually works.
Aside from Abbadon, that is.
The little devil riding the big red one got shot right in the face. Her head got blown off and her mask was shattered to bits, and she still left a non-melting (albeit headless) corpse.
Ah. On closer inspection, seems you might be right. Perspective messed with me a bit.
Still, it’s been proven that devils can come back from having their mask shattered. And with Alison and potentially a demiurge working towards that end, I don’t see her being out of commission long.
As for White Chain…we’ve yet to see a body. And if we’re to assume she was even half as durable as old Salami, she might still be around somewhere.
Anyway, the thing I’m most looking forward to is seeing Maya finally put Incubus in his place.
Six feet under.
Without a key.
I would LOVE for this to be true, but the only demon we’ve seen actually dying was the bomb guy in the mammon chapter who turned into green goo. Then Acrobat got et and we don’t know what happened to Oscar. So turning into goo sounds about right. Also there are tiny purple ceramic-like fragments embedded in the goo that could be particles of mask. I’m afraid it looks like she really is dead, but there may be deeper plot machinery at work. A nice twist would be if Nyave recovers and magically heals Cio too.
Jadis went to see the creation of the universe. She has the ability to time travel. My bet is that they are going back in time now.
Copium. The author is too self aware to retcon something like this.
Congratulations on making a human. That’s a pretty nifty trick.
Duuuude, I am so excited for everything happening in the story right now!
I actually realised I missed a bunch of pages and just went and read them…
Cio, the Incubus showdown, Jadis… omg, so much good stuff!
Like, how to describe it? I’m gutted for Alison and Cio and everything they’re going through… but it’s such great story telling and I can’t wait to see how it all comes together!
You are an amazing story teller, Abbadon! This is such an fantastic journey you’re taking us on. <3
Also, massive congratulations about your kid! That's wonderful news. Take care and we'll see you back when we see you. 😊
Excellent work! Health and happiness to you and your family, looking forward to the update in the new year!
Aw man… I’m on the edge of my seat.. but I know the drill… you’re gonna need all the time in the world for the next few… decades. Congrats, friend! And we’ll take the comic when you can manage it!
Jadis warping Allison away, sure, but where are Incubus and Maya?
their battle is already over
Congratulations, Abbadad!
So Jagganoth wins this round.
