Reposting because apparently this system hates anything with a link:
I just realized something, back at the book cover, Mammon is still alive, so, either he regenerates somehow or him being missing from there would be a heck of a spoiler.
Mammon had no development on the cover. Solomon is most likely to be the other casualty (if there is one) even though Mottom would be the obvious pick, since his character arc is already over.
Mottom has the fancy new orange getup, Jadis is free, and Inky still has some unresolved plot stuff with Maya (not visible, of course), unless that plot stuff is Maya taking her key back from Inky’s talking head. Gog also had some plot stuff and is basically invincible, but that plot stuff has resolved even if her former (near) invincibility has not, and obviously she’s not on the list for “died to Jag” here.
that doesnt necessarily mean anything. its just a cover, he’s alive in the cover because he’s alive before the book starts. cover’s don’t need to show everything that’ll happen in the comic – they can, like Allison in her bad ass new get up, but not massive spoilery things like one of the gods literally dying. we’ll see tho if he does though, considering he is a god – i dont think decapitation is a consistent way to kill omnipotent beings
I wonder whether the demiurges are made of conventional matter. If so, would a Jaggy-sized hunk of antimatter annihilate him, or does his presumably magical durability protect him from M-AM reactions?
Hmmn, Jagganoth is missing the golden nails and yet still has the wound from the binding present on his left pectoral. Perhaps he lost them with the attack? Though it might just be that he’s so covered in blood they’re hidden, and yet the old scars are still visible…
Also he’s evidently lost all his swords and weapons in the attack, likely embedding them in to Ruyuba’s crust. Otherwise he wouldn’t be resorting to using Mammon’s head, for meat and bone are rather weak without the power of the atum or a key to reinforce it. Making it a rather poor choice of weapon in this particular case.

He has completed mastery of immortality and cultivated ultimate power, and risen above the laws of man and God. His Atum is burnished like adamantium and thirty thousand layers strong. Before him, even the mightiest earthly rulers may be flicked away like fleas.”
So. Cultivated ? Did someone played The Amazing Cultivation Simulator , by any chance ?
Have you noticed the irony though? Despite all that power, that awesome description, what does the Wheel Turning King do? Merely turn the wheel. What Jagganoth has always done is break Creation, then Zoss and Metatron reset. All that power, accomplishment and glory is meaningless.
Even now, this may be a hint that despite his awareness of the cycle, Jagganoth still cannot change anything. More to the point, this means Zoss might give Allison another chance and with her character development and knowledge, she could pull it off for real.
Unless this is where she tries something absurd, crazy and downright impossible, and succeeds through Royalty.

Two updates and not a sword to be seen. Where are the swords. Where are they. Where are the swords that’s what I want to know and if I don’t see a sword I will take off all of my clothes and raise a terrible fuss
I’m delighted to report that my first count was incorrect and that there are six whole swords in this update and I’m now able to put my underclothes back on and stop screaming. Boy what a relief it is! Six is a pretty good number I think, of swords, to see. Do you think there will be more swords to come? I sure hope so, I’m waiting on tenterhooks (tiny crooked swords) to find out
21 Night Flaming With Fire Rides Life To Perfect Laughter
We’ve yet to see what has happened to Incubus and Maya, so I’m sure there’s at least two more swords to be seen. Perhaps even three, maybe Abaddon will decide to spoil us.
That would be positively capital, the bees knees. To think, that one such as myself would be so blessed as to look at not just one but two swords in the future, the proverbial frog in the well eating fried chicken
Imagine it! Wow! All those swords, a whole well, my mind is aswirl with the very idea of looking at all those swords and maybe touching one with an index finger in a respectable fashion

Wow it looks like the yellow key is up for grabs again! Wonder who it’ll go to (if jag doesn’t already have it or it wasn’t destroyed)
It’d be nice to see Yabalchoath again.
So Jag is an eunuch? Got his balls and dong cut off completely before he got the key and is unable to regenerate it? No wonder he is so angry all the time not being able to release.
What is War of Rayuba people are talking about that they see WC in it meaning she survived?
42 Fragments the Universe Beyond All Reintegration
War for Rayuba is the Original Character Tournament currently running. The link for its Discord is on the bottom of the comic page.
White Chain (possibly _83_ White Chain, it hasn’t been made clear) is a faction leader in the war. Jagganoth is _not_ a faction leader, suggesting that he somehow gets defused and dealt with.
Welcome to the JAM! Mammon wants to SLAM!
SHIIIII!!!!
Well, that’s ONE demiurge confirmed dead.
stupid demigods i’m fucking ballin
I wonder what happened to that groovy little apartment on Mammon’s back? It’s so hard to find a condo on Rayuba these days.
I imagine it very recently acquired about 80,000 new windows and doors. I hear very open-plan is in this season.
IA! IA!
PITY THE DRAGON!
CRY TEARS OF GOLD!
IA! IA!

Maan ! Scientific approach ! I love it .
Given that, magic is : “succesfully gaslighting the universe” I dont think any purely physics based aproach can be succesfull.
Remember that this universe doesn’t run on real world physics. Reality is canonically an illusion, a shadow cast by the god-flame.
Why you gotta turn the wheel, king?

Given that he just did was most likely his strongest possible attack, he probably expended a lot of energy doing it.
I’ve heard that Bitchy Mother In Law attack is worse than Wheel Turning King. Fortunately I’ve never been subject to that terrifying abomination.
I appreciate how Jaggy is really getting ahead of the game here.
He’s just a cut above the rest.

There’s a bunch embedded in what’s left of Mammons neck?
(begins putting clothes back on with a sigh of pure relief) Six…six swords. That’s a good number of them, swords. Bless you, stranger
Jaggahog or Jaggagina? Or Jagga-none-your-business?
use the behelit Griffith!
Gog took all the beheliths away with her. 🙁
One sword…was big enough. I’m so sorry grandpa I really liked your chapter

Fried soggy chicken sounds lamentable.
Unless the well is filled with swords.
