Indeed. Remember she was the other student. And, remember the conversation between Jagannath and Incubus. Jagannoth mocks Incubus how he is a false king because he never killed Maya and never fully claimed her key.
Jagganoth: “Eighty thousand blows, all struck at once so that even the air cannot escape being cut!”
Maya: “Blocked, blocked, blocked, all of you are blocked.”
…And the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
Beneath the black,
the sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I’ll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain?
Unkillable gods make for poor swordsmen, for they fear not death nor injury. Get ye a sharp enough blade and separating their heads from their shoulders is quick work.
Unfortunately, in Jagganoth’s case he became an unkillable god by first being an incredibly skilled and experienced warrior and struggling through a near endless war, surviving due to his unmatched talent for violence. Possibly some of that ability has decayed since he no longer needs it, but I doubt it. I believe it’s been mentioned that although he is invulnerable, he still feels the pain from every attack he takes, so I’d reckon that his motivation to fight well is still very much alive and well, though maybe somewhat diminished.
Like how much is it to ask for the next page to be just four horizontal panels — all the same angle, just 4 of our gal hopping “HUP” “hup” “hup” … into the distance with Zaid looking over at her a little awkwardly.
Oddly enough, I don’t she hops at all. I think she just walks on leg that cannot possibly exist, her progress to divinity just makes it so, our explanations be damned.
You do? And who, pray, are you? I guess the point is you can “care” all you like; unless it’s directly depicted/ addressed, you’re gonna be blue-balled, fella. You’d be better off moving on to “next”, yeah. I’m sure there are plenty of trivialities you can fixate on, some of which might be dealt with.
I think it’s great that the answer to “how are you standing” is “who cares”. That’s the perfect answer at this point imo. She probably wouldn’t stand if she thought too hard about it, but she doesn’t, so she does. Royalty XD
I kind of love the subversion in this story, in that instead of having the mentor figure show up for a training montage at the start of Act 1, or shortly after the insighting incident, we have Maya showing up…. AFTER the darkest hour… and it feels fucking sick.
Like, its just a classic trope, but mixing up the timing is enough to make it work so so so well. (the fact that Maya has been an significant side character the whole way thought just makes it funnier.
Allison already had a training arc a bit sooner with 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil, however now we might get her to finally use that greatsword again which would be nice.
There aren’t many that can throw around the line “I’ve got to figure out how to kill an unkillable god” and not feel farcical. Allison is one of the few.
YEAAAAA SHE LIVES!!!
HELLL YEAAAAAA
My prayers have been answered!
HOLY MAYA IS ROYALTY!

Turu: “I beg of thee, O Great Ones, give us back Maya ten Meti, Murder The Gods And Topple Their Thrones!”
The Gods: ” uh, bro,”
A smarter-than average God: “I think I’ll take my holiday now. You kids have fun!”
God i’m so happy to see Maya again, I missed her so much.
Time for Allison to learn the Art of Cutting!
Maya: “The art of Cutting is the art of fools. Here. Let me instead teach you the esoteric art of Flex Tape™.”
To teach you the power of Flex Tape, I cut this Angel in half!
M I S T A K E
EXTREME DAMAGE
And there goes the cameraman.
We go through way too many of those.
Still waiting to hear the status on those triangle dudes
What about the fish girl with orange goggles? Frankly that’s all I care about.
will book 6 be named “wheel smashing lord ?”
woops, accidently posted this as a reply to another comment
It’s still a good question.
No book 6.
It ends here, now.
[COARSE] Frankly, I’m more concerned with the state of [demiurge mommy milkers]
Now that she’s allied with [demiurge burger oni] the world is doomed.
Jagganoth: “Eighty thousand blows, all struck at once so that even the air cannot escape being cut!”
Maya: “Blocked, blocked, blocked, all of you are blocked.”
Dang, Maya’s social media feeds must be almost tolerable.
That’s what she said when she rejected her key too. Just mass blocked the other six on multi universal Twitter
Attempting to completely mass block Gog-Agog must be a truly Sisyphean task. Imagine how many alternate accounts she has.
*T H I S *
Jagganoth strikes eighty thousand blows, all at once.
Maya Ten Meti strikes once.
Maya lives, rejoice! And the Technique of Relief looks ominous in the sky like that. Like a dark moon.
That’s no moon!
I was going to say, “like a black sun”.
Not sure which is more ominous.
Well a black moon is just the new moon, the first phase of the lunar cycle.
…And the sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer stench
Beneath the black,
the sky looks dead
Call my name
Through the cream
And I’ll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won’t you come
And wash away the rain?
So, girl, what do you think about death?
Now she’ll actually have an answer.
That is a purple sun in the middle of an eclipse.
No, it’s a black hole sun.
Won’t you come?
Won’t you wash away the pain?
Unkillable gods make for poor swordsmen, for they fear not death nor injury. Get ye a sharp enough blade and separating their heads from their shoulders is quick work.
We saw how well that worked on Zoss. But Jagganoth is a bit tougher.
Maybe just take out the nails? I’d start with taking out the nails
Definitely worth trying.

I’ll always appreciate that you delivered on the Hog front, but… You’re cutting between shots Abaddon, show us the HOP.
Like how much is it to ask for the next page to be just four horizontal panels — all the same angle, just 4 of our gal hopping “HUP” “hup” “hup” … into the distance with Zaid looking over at her a little awkwardly.
You don’t have to mess up your buffer at all — the next page will still fit in fine, just slide it on in between 🙂
New name bestowed. It is Jaggahop. You may rejoice.
Oddly enough, I don’t she hops at all. I think she just walks on leg that cannot possibly exist, her progress to divinity just makes it so, our explanations be damned.
As she says, “Honestly, who cares?”
Easy question I do. I’ll believe weird metaphysics when I see it. Next!
You do? And who, pray, are you? I guess the point is you can “care” all you like; unless it’s directly depicted/ addressed, you’re gonna be blue-balled, fella. You’d be better off moving on to “next”, yeah. I’m sure there are plenty of trivialities you can fixate on, some of which might be dealt with.
I guess this explains why Solomon’s death is unconfirmed, he might still be in the bubble
I think it’s great that the answer to “how are you standing” is “who cares”. That’s the perfect answer at this point imo. She probably wouldn’t stand if she thought too hard about it, but she doesn’t, so she does. Royalty XD
Also, the art is gorgeous as always.
And Maya lives! Great to see her again.
Twelve is observant.
I agree. “Honestly, who cares?” is an indication of her divine power and is kinda scary to think about given the context.
I want to see a good job done on that chain mail bikini.
And put it on the cover art. C’mon Abaddon, it’ll get those sales figures WAY UP.
Milk is wise.
Good luck on the cover!
Between Kill Six Billion Demons and Murder the Gods and Topple their Thrones, I’m sure they can figure it out.
She lived bitch!

Time to Murder some gods and topple some thrones
Awwww yissss!
Not necessary, the gods in this setting tend to be suicidal, starting with YISUN themselves.
I’m going to guess the solution involves a continuous motion of some sort or other
Also YAY, auntie lives!
Honestly, that second image… Zaid looks like he has a MASSIVE handlebar mustache. … and I’m not entirely against it.
Chainmail Bikini, maybe some new limbs. Hey, whatever works.
The King of Violence shall rise. Killing 6 Six Billion Demons should be a good practice run for killing Jagganoth
brb, gonna grind some levels
the noodle vander lives!!! now, there is only a single question left…
WHERE IN THE DARKSTALKER IS WHITE CHAIN??
The same place as Cio.
i hope not, i quite liked her…..
No luck needed, you’ll do awesome as always.
There aren’t many that can throw around the line “I’ve got to figure out how to kill an unkillable god” and not feel farcical. Allison is one of the few.
Autie Maya is an expert in this field.
“I hear you have a god problem.”
Fuck I love this lady.
Is it just me, or has Maya gained weight?
Hittin’ the noodles a little too much?
