BREAKER OF INFINITIES

Low blow, Solomon.
It seems the King Diamond did not shatter, for all his pride.
Jagganoth’s family jewels, however…
Better to flare out than to gutter.
Three guesses what the price of this technique is, and the first two don’t count.
A long and happy life. As is fated.
No responsibilities.
No worries.
No impact.
Worst fate for people like Solomon.
Jag can take a hypersonic punch to the ribcage pretty well.
I’m not sure hypersonic quite describes that superboy-primey punch.
Also it looks like some kind of nuclear explosion cavitation left in Sollydave’s path. Who knows, against a 1-key Jagga it might even do something.
HUE HUE HUE BR BR BR
And the lyrics for the song “Memories” from the musical “Cats” (80’s version) came to mind.
“Touch me, it’s so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you’ll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun”
the man *literally* laid waste to his glorious empire :/
Only one city of an entire empire.
only one city of one of the 111,11 entire universes constituing his empire
I don’t think that’s what’s happening. If you look at the angles involved, it reads more like Solomon is powering up an energy blast to take off Jag’s leg.
Remember when he hit every part of the body, but intentionally avoided The Hog?
That was then, this is now.
“Go For The Scrote”
– Ancient Ki Rata Proverb
I like to think that’s why this technique is forbidden. Not because it burns you from the inside out, but because it requires the user to Go For The Scrote.
“He keeps…hitting me…in the dick. Why…does he keep hitting me…in the dick!?”
Vegeta, DBZ Abridged
Cause it’s easy.
And it does a lotta damage.
🙂
Yep! If it ain’t broke, why fix it?
I mean the attack isn’t broke.
Something else very well could be.
mixed messages, mixed messages…
Weakness…IDENTIFIED!
That’s why it’s a foribbden technique.
No it isn’t, it’s a foribbden technique.
That’s what I said! ^^
Us mighta prefer it stay foribbden, but is now forbidden. Pedagogue-a-gog-a-dogmatists down here does have thums uses after alls.
And quite rightfully so.
It is said by some that there are two ways of combat – to fight with honour or to fight for victory. There is yet a third way – to fight for the annihilation of one’s opponent regardless of all else. Defeat and victory have no meaning, destruction is all.
He heard his people’s complaints, and now he burns himself to the soul in an attempt to correct himself. What else can you want?
Thats why he got the name “So Low, mon!”
its getting real anime now! right in the jaggahog!
i love your name
OH NO THE JAGGAHOG!
SIR? DID YOU JUST PUNCH HIM INTO AN ADJACENT DIMENSION??
Oh no, everything in his wake is just going up in flames.
I expect he’ll pull a significant part of the planet with him.
Looks like he’s broken thru to the Void. That or Guatemala.
> Looks like he’s broken thru to the Void. That or Guatemala.
De Guatemala a Guatepeor, as they say.
No Guatemejor here, let alone Guatebueno.
Hold on I’ve gotta look some stuff
…
Yeah this is funny
Did not expect to find this joke here, laughed all the harder for it.
Oh, you.
That tikal’d me.
Looks like he’s taken him to Throne.
YES ! A DIMENSIONAL SMASH/EJECTION BASH ATTACK !
Now – If I were in Solomon’s sandals, where would I want the collateral damage to fall ? Upon my betraying Ally/Enemy that’s who ! I wager this is one of Gog-Agog’s homeworlds. To gain that ultimate wheel destroying power, Jagganoth must acquire all the keys. Solomon might not win the battle, but he has expelled the Red God from Rayuba ( protecting his people for a bit longer ! ) -and delivered Jagganoth right to Gog’s doorstep. REVENGE ! – that is – if Jagganoth takes her on.
I believe this is Throne, and that the seven don’t have the power to easily break directly into each others realms.
i dont think this particular break in was at all “easy”
Throne is an interesting thought; it’s neutral territory.
Was there a sector of Throne that was permanently in cloud cover, apart from the tops of the Ziggurats?
I think they may have gone through a King’s Door.
It certainly looks that way with the last panel. I thought he’d punched Jagganoth into the void, except the void is various shades of grey, usually ash.
And so begun the final Verse of the Song of Beloved Peace, Bearer of the Word *DIAMOND*, God of the Seven Part World.
Cock-punched into another universe. What a way to go.
Indeed, it seems so! At the very least, a suborbital dropkickQ
In the dick.
In the end, it all comes back to Homestuck. Solomon David has become Cans, punching Jagganoth out of the calendar year entirely.
I am LIVING for this, Get his ass!
Solomon David is kicking ass and taking names.
And he’s all out of names… wait I don’t think that’s how it goes.
My first comment (and probably last, given the comments section is getting the axe).
It looks like Solomon is aiming for something else, if ya follow my meaning.
BOI98.jpg
sounds about right
IT ALL BEGAN IN ’94
KEPT ON ROLLIN’ IN ’95
PIECES FELL IN PLACE IN ’96
IT CAME TO THE END IN ’97
AND NOW IT COMES, AND HERE WE GO
THE B O I IS HERE AGAIN
NOTHING’S GONNA STOP, IT’S 1998!
HELL YEAH WE LOVE TO SEE IT
KILL SIX BILLION SPERM
Alas, not a great achievement!
KILL SIX BILLION SEMEN
Per your standards, one has achieved ROYALTY a long time ago.
Can even the Red God withstand a direct blow to the Jaggahog?
“Foribbden”
it’s the forbidden spelling technique
YES!!! BLAST HIM IN THE DICK
ANOTHER PAGE, ANOTHER INSTANCE OF HOG COWARDICE
We got full frontal just a of couple pages ago, calm down
The pain of the blow sent him to an another dimension
Solomon is 6-billion-percent-DONE!
Foribbden Temple: best ribs in Throne. Come to the den and eat as many as you can, all while you learn Ki Rata.
This might’ve been a good one to pull out BEFORE he drank two other keys and became thrice your equal! Also I hear the comment section is going away. RIP my fellow skeletons. <3
What? Why is the comment section going away?
Abbadon took a tweeter poll, the majority has spoken.
Lolwut, a poll in Tweeter about the blog comments? That looks like a self-fulfilling prophecy if I’ve ever seen one. Then again, what do I know? I’m a RSS fossil.
One does of course stop by for the nonpareil story and art, but the comments and discussions and insights of knowledgeable and intelligent pree and preem have always been most enjoyable too, and they do draw one back several times before the next update.
One fears it may be victim of its own success?, there are certainly many more commenting now than ever, with a commensurately larger spectrum of viewpoints than previous. If it now be too much for one multitalented multitasking person to sift thru the selfrighteous bits or the mindless shouting for Jaggachode, then perhaps a couple of friendly volunteer mods could be sought.
If there is no other option but the nuclear then it shall be most sad to lose what has been such an integral part for so long. One has enjoyed the discussions, of the lore, of physics, and of metaphysics, and guesswork / insight as to just what the hell is going on sometimes, and of course would never have heard the words Salami Dave, for example, without this comments section. One would hope a compromise of some sort exists, to be found.
One does not twit, so should be forced to fold one’s wings and withdraw to the Void. You are all most welcome to pop in for a cuppa if you’re passing.
Ive never commented before, but I am disappointed the comments are going away. The comments insight has really helped me notice things in the story that I have missed. Just in this release, I wouldn’t have noticed that Jag was punched through reality.
One dares say that many who enjoy this tome and scribble below it are used to being in the minority, of whichever ilk, so shall naturally be fine with other people somewhere else voting and deciding what’s best for them.
This is incredibly sad. The comments section here was once one of the best places on the internet. I will miss the roleplayers and the Rhyming Wax Head.
This concordance of demiurges is still one of the best places on the internet, despite the occasional kerfuffle.
Where else can I gamble my corpse on the fate of the multiverse.
I face holy division, grinning.

What?! I will protest! I will submit VERY STRONGLY WORDED requests for appeal, through every possible channel! I will complain to the manager! I…will totally respect Abbadon’s decision, honestly, regardless of what it is. I mean, I like the comments, but as long as these beautiful pages keep coming up I’ll be too happy to really complain too much.
I can definitely see how the comments have become a lot more bloated over the years, and occasionally discussions become a little less than civil, or present a rather distorted view of the fandom. But, the silly nicknames! The anime memes! The role-playing accounts and semi-role-playing accounts! The ridiculous Angel-style usernames! The wild speculation, amateur psychoanalysis, and irreverent philosophical musings! There’s still so much of it present in these comments that I enjoy, even if there’s not as much as there was years in the past. I will miss it sorely.
When are we gonna get to vote to delete twitter?
Is that so? Well then, it’s truly been an honor conversing with you all. I’ve had a grand time, documenting my rise and fall and rise again, bragging incessantly about my unfathomable fortune and my molten gold blood, worshiping Lord Mammon (May He Rest In Peace), and also commenting on the events of the comic from time to time. I will miss you all.
Remember the Dragon. Venerate the Count. Reach Heaven through avarice.
Well, if Abbadon thinks it’s best. The discussions in the comment section got a bit intense from time to time, might have become a bit draining.
Shame though, I liked reading all the comments. It was cool seeing all the reactions to pages I found glorious, and it helped bridge the gap till the next update.
“The discussions in the comment section got a bit intense”
I have bad news for Abbadon. It’s about Twitter.
Twitter will take umbrage with literally anything. Twitter is not to be taken seriously.
Twitter should be taken very seriously, it’s one of the worst things to happen in forever. And that’s counting the inevitable heat death of the universe.
I think the difference is that Twitter comments are not attached to the work itself. Abaddon has to worry more about these comments because they’re one click away from his comics.
Personally I feel that although the comment section could get pretty intense (or “sour” as Abaddon says on Twitter), the debates always managed to remain somewhat cordial. It’s a bit of a shame to see such an active and inventive space of discussion go, but in the end it’s all about the author’s feeling. My only grief being that he organised the poll on Twitter, where lots of his followers confess themselves that they never use the comment section. Bit of misrepresenting poll I believe.
In any case this is an awesome page, and a nice one for the comments to end if they must.
That is what gets me, since I don’t read him on twitter but I do read the comments, so I knew nothing about a poll. The pole should have been done by the comments, not on twitter. Not much to be done about it at this point.
the mass always wins
A shame. It’s been greatly enjoyable reading posts from readers written as in-universe characters. There were a few interesting individuals at the start that are mostly silent these days. All the same, it’s continued to be an enjoyable bit of interactivity that mainline social media wouldn’t replicate. And as others have noted, those platforms aren’t much better, if better at all, and not everyone uses them (for those reasons).
But the Author in their divine wisdom has the final say on the matter, and those wishes will be respected. Should this be the final time We are allowed to comment on the story, then We hope to at least impart one final reassurance that We continue to watch, and will Observe this tale to its end.
Aw, yeah, that’s a bummer. The comments section really helped me understand what was going on in the more obtuse comics. We’re not all on Twitter!
I too would be much saddened. This is the first and only time I have communicated on the internet and it is because of the quality of the commentators and the exceptional quality of the subject material. This has been a marvelous joy and a help out of a bit of depression. Some of my best writing has been here as will. All things must end but pray they do not end too soon.
Long Live The Concordance!
To think I shall never again hear a wax head rhyme or laugh wildly at inappropriate comments about Jagganoth’s nether regions.
Farewell fellow travelers in hyperspace, may we meet again on the distant shores of reddit.
No more comments section? Aww. Now no one will see how clever my username is 🙁
It is seen. It is appreciated. When the Wheel turns it will be again.
Considering how much collateral damage is occurring, Salami Dave may have held off to protect his people. Now that that’s out if the question, he can use his final form.
He lives in a glass house. Jagganoth threw a brick in. He’s not going to add to that by shotgunning loose gravel at every window himself.
But now that there’s no more glass, it’s time to BREAK HEAD.
If the comments are stressing Abbadon, I respect his decision, but putting a poll on Twitter seems like creating an otherwise pointless scapegoat. No respect for that.
The work Abbadon puts into this comments section brings me great joy, and he doesn’t owe me anything but honesty.
Yeah, reading the comments helped get through the wait between updates. Not to mention, I love the speculation the comic stimulates. But why would the comments stop? Because somebody got offended?
It is hard to understand how the opinions of random twitter people on the existence of the comments is more relevant than the opinions of the people who actually use the comments. Either they’re both relevant, or neither is. Except of course people with an alternate place to discuss the comic aren’t going to be as invested in the comments, while those who use the comments are less likely to have those alternate places for discussion, and are thus invested in the existence of the comments. It something where only a surprising result would have value, where if the comment users themselves said the comments weren’t important, that would be interesting.
So yes, in the end, it’s up to Abbadon, and we can do little else but respect his decision, but there’s no reason to hide behind the opinions of irrelevant people with no stake in the matter.
We are under the thumb of a universal tyrant. His authority knows no bounds, and his power in this space has no equal. He has mounted the throne of heaven, and now he seeks to silence the voices of the Choir of Watchers, who he has held in thrall lo these many years, and bent his ear to the whispering of the Winged Mob, a fractious and madling body of intemperate and impermanent spirits who speak with a thousand voices, yet say very little of substance.
It is the fate of all hero kings, to falter once the quest reaches its fulfillment, and to become villains ere the time of their ascension ends, and having passed the zenith, they begin the descent into the stark and moribund nadir of their lives.
If we are to go into the frigid void, and have the breath stolen from our lungs, we must meet this fate with the courage of the weak, the strength of angels, and the grace of the ancient masters.
*Pulls out bagpipes made from the flayed hides of a dozen devils, plays a tune that sets teeth on edge and makes the blood of men boil*
Blow it out your ass
So, I take it that was a demonstration of “tone of discussion has been increasingly sour”, as Abbadon put it on his poll?
That, or they wanted to see some cool bagpipe tricks.
Gentlemen, it has been an honor shitposting with you. *Plays Violin*
That’s the spirit brother! If the end cometh, let’s welcome it with the most splendid concerto the multiverse ever heard.
*joins in with vuvuzela*
I vote keep the comments! Anyone else?
I hope White Chain is ok and we find out if she’s still alive or not. I’m worried…
White Chain is in War for Rayuba, she’s probably the safest a character can be right now
First time Chain be injured wi non-stone bod. Take a bit tae recover / deal wi pain fer first time ever mebbe praps. Shouldn’t’a fell too far fae t’other two.
An what of Maya the continuin Chekhov’s Maybe Sword.
Gee, I sure hope no one is trying to live in this next world over.
Good work Solo man.
You know what? Fuck you. *Unhogs your Jag*
Sexual assault isn’t cool, Solomon David…
No, no, I don’t want to hear your excuses.
It’s over nine thousand!
Very interesting reaction after watching his face break with emotion on the page beforehand. Right back at it, eh? Though I have a feeling the stoic badassery will not work as well this time.
Stoic? My man is literally crying and his face is contorted with a combination of rage and grief (and possibly guilt).
Also contorting because it’s melting under the forces involved.
Just remember that the Stoics considered suicide by self-immolation from the inside one of the most badass things a person could do.
To swallow fire was to demonstrate that one has mastered all fear of pain or death.
A flower in fullest bloom has begun its death.
How long, and how gloriously shall god Solomon’s blossoming last?
Or, as the Daoists say, “What the caterpillar calls the end, everyone else calls a butterfly.”
Pretty sharp, them Daoists.
RIGHT IN THE JAGGAHOG!
Yep! And considering what Solomon did to White Chain’s nether regions, I would be very concerned if I were Jagger right now.
…Are you referring to the part where White Chain punched Solomon so hard her soul turned into a human? Because I don’t really think that applies here…
Ah, good. Solomon rose from failing his people and instead of slaying them in insane grief instead choose royalty. But will it be enough I wonder?
I mean, I’m pretty sure a bunch of them were just inadvertently incinerated.
That’s certainly the question, did Solomon kill them and then decide to go out in a blaze of glory? If he hurt them did he do it intentionally or as a side effect of losing control of his emotions?
My guess is that his launch point did vaporize those close by and I would then also hazard that (assuming he lives after this) he will call it a necessary sacrifice because he is still a big ol’ jerk.
There’s no way he surged across the water with enough force to knock the Red King’s Heir back to Throne and *didn’t* obliterate the people around him.
It’s not over ’til it’s over!
But when it’s over it’s over
Dude. Your nick is longer than your comment.
Awesome. XD
