BREAKER OF INFINITIES 4-178 to 4-179 (KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS)
>FULL SIZE<<
“After running for three years and three days, Prim finally came to a tumbling halt. No matter how far she ran, no matter how fast her legs carried her, she could not find the end of the road. No matter how she scanned the horizon, or reached out with trembling fingers, she could not grasp her resting place. The road continued forever.
There was a way-angel there, standing on a pillar of basalt, who understood many things, and he said to Prim: ‘O piteous thing.” Struck by her dreadful appearance, he recognized her as the orphan of Hansa, for he was very wise in the world. ‘What seek you on the road, small one?’ said the angel, “Perhaps I can offer succor.”
“The end of the road,” croaked Prim.
“There is no end,” said the angel, and it was so indeed. For the road was the rim of the Wheel, which encircled infinity. There was, truly no resting place. For some, this would have been dread news, enough to strike the life out of them. Many had given up when they learned of this, and laid down to die, as was sometimes the way of men in those days.
But for Prim, it washed over her, and soothed her, and for her weary and torn heart was the sweetest balm in the world.”
-Prim Masters the Road
Truly, I have learned much from this angel on his pillar of stone.
Our bit player, everyone.
Can we finally lay to rest the theory that Zaid really was the true heir like some of the other demiurges assumed?
In a sense he is the heir. In that if the key had been entrusted to him, this cycle would have gone as usual and then been obliterated. Alison is Something Else. She is the one who breaks the cycle.
Zaid is the true heir, just as Ai-Yis-un is the true heir, for the true name of God is “I”.
In Pasalms book 1; “YISUN lied once and said they had nine hundred and ninety nine thousand names. This is true, but it is also a barefaced lie. The true name of God is I.”
Later in conversing with Hansa; “Lord, then which should I be, the giant or the ant?’
‘Both,’ spoke YISUN,’ or either, when it suits you. Destroy the grand enemy called ‘I'”
YS ATUN VRAMA PRESH are the seven syllables of Royalty, YS ATUN VRAMA PRESH is only 6 syllables.
It is said “The conquering king must speak with both his internal tongue of self-love, and his external tongue of violence:
The words are the seven principles of universal royalty. They are the seven words that YISUN spoke upon committing suicide.
YS ATUN VRAMA PRESH means when translated “The Glory, The Tower, The Flame, The Diamond, The Blade, The Mind, The Beast” but that is just one translation.
Reality is said to be the illusion case by the flame eternal. When Yisun was asked about the matter, it was confirmed reality is the opinion of Yisun.
Indeed, for the divine suicide is itself a great lie. Not just the four orders of Inheritors, but the cosmos itself was born from his division, and yet Yisun continues. We are all still a part of Yisun and our separation from him is only an illusion. Everyone and everything is the Heir, not of Zoss, but of Yisun. Our purpose is to live our lives, that Yisun lives through us. Therefore, live a life worthy of Yisun.
That being said, in this iteration of the Wheel, Zoss gave the key to Allison, and Zaid acknowledged her as the stronger hero. Anyone still holding out hope that Zaid will take the key and become the protagonist is huffing copium.
DON’T WEAR IT OUT
This shit goes UNFATHOMABLY hard.
“Repatriate,
Thou ardente!
Sow from woe,
Those below.”

The Wheel Smashing Lord is a pitious thing. She has one arm, one leg, one eye and one untamed mouth. Her skin is splattered red, yet white, as is her mane and her lips and her remaining eye. She has little understanding of the world, or of any thing. She has been defeated many times. Her heart is broken. Her mind is a parade of tragedies.
She is omnipotent and has attained Royalty, truly and completely.
She will Kill One Billion Demons.
She will break the wheel.
beautiful
They said the thing!!!
First, I like how the glowing, burning symbol above this chapter’s title, looks like a computer’s on button symbol. COOL!
Second, beware of the one armed, one legged, one eyed goddess!
For SHE runs the entire universe missing those limbs for OUR safety! If she were whole? She’d be too powerful!
😀
YISUN tore themselves in half to create the universe.
Alison did the same to create KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS
That is the “Power” rune.
It probably started as a WH40K reference, but now has plenty of lore.
This is incredible. Fucking A man. fucking A.
As time goes on, or given the eventual state of the wheel, not goes on, Alison and Maya are going to have more and more the chat about…
All titles acquired.
Let the end game begin.
Kill Six Billion Demons
Gain Six Billion Names
Oh, i’ts ON!
Haha I was waiting for someone to spot the callback to the power button sign that was on her back when she duelled with Incubus during training. Now we know what that sign means. It’s not breaking the circuit, but smashing the wheel.
Royalty is a continuous proceeding motion.
What a long strange trip its been! Thank you sir!
On to Gog Agog. Looking forward to her backstory. Oldest of the Demiurges by a long shot, once loved and arguably the most powerful if not for her whimsical attitude.
The eternal angst of a being with no chance at intimacy. Born from the carcass of Heaven, apart from those upstart inheritors that invaded it, yet in need of interaction, of stimulation, of admirers, of approval… of someone who might appreciate her as an individual.
Alas, she is the Conqueror Worm, hero and end of the tragedy named Man.
Allison uses force lightning. It’s super effective.
So, since I heard there will be one more book, I’ll suppose it will be called “wheel smashing lord”? :p
Dang
Gods I can’t wait to see this in print
the absolute best demiurge name drop so far
The Road goes on forever
And The Party never ends

Shoutout to that upside down guy at the top. He was three days from retirement.
And all who heard should see her there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
Her flashing eye, her floating hair!
Weave a circle round her thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread
For she on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
Samuel Coleridge has entered the chat!
