Don’t know about the mouth, but I think Jadis did heal her face scars. Why are they showing again? Just click ONE page back and she is scarless.
I also see Jadis, Solomon and Gog on the far right (oh, no! Politics!), I see a half-beetle half-Freeza Jagganoth in the back (he loves you, yeah yeah yeah), and someone Just floating out of the shower in the distance.
Her scars showed back up again a few pages ago when she ripped her new arm off, you can see them glowing blue there, and they’ve been there ever since.
I think they weren’t just cut into her flesh but her soul as well, whatever Jadis did was likely purely cosmetic. We saw how Incubus completely regenerated himself in the last chapter, might well be that Allison can’t do the same because she was cut by Jaggernoth’s ultimate technique. Like the D&D sword of wounding, those cuts don’t heal even if you could normally just regenerate your whole self.
Her last page facing off against Jadis and standing in full blue power you see bands of power across her body which match up to her old scars. She then has them in her big naming page and the last few pages with Zaid.
She appears to have been keen to restore EVERYTHING healed by Jadis.
I am making $100 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website.. www.Moneypay6.com
i hereby pick up the flaming sword, i hereby lift up the shield of ice-i swear by the lotus and by the memory of the forgotten paladin that i, the magnificent idiot, shell push back the darkness of the bots from this great comic! and so-
It’s obvious now that Zoss is Zaid,and that photo in the wiki lines up perfectly. Zoss/Zaid sees how this all plays out, and says it always end in ‘ruin’, so he’s trying to fix it, ( see if maybe if Alison is the ‘one’ this will change it all? and cease to exist?). Zoss is future Zaid who travelled BACK in time presumably to meet with Yisun to change things(not really seeking an audience)
but realizes he didn’t go back in time far enough(or couldn’t).
Oh! What if he views her as a sort of daughter/successor, because it was through fighting (and besting) him that she was reborn?
To someone like him, such a chain of logic would make sense. Both the symbolic weight he places on daughters, and his tendency to make everything about himself.
emphasis on worship of it’s dictator, heavy military focus, we see how a slight like drinking jailed a woman for 30+ years. peace through an iron grip like this is 100% fascism
And yet among all the Demiurges we’ve seen so far his people are the most stable, peaceful, and live the best lives. This is the Seven-Part-World. Each Demiurge controls 111,111 out of the 777,777 universes. There is no room for whatever it is you consider a good leader. There are only seven, and Solomon is the best and kindest out of that lot. The others might have you consumed just so your screams tickle their willies/clams.
They only seem to be peaceful and stable because Solomon doesn’t permit them to be anything else. His laws are the harshest and most unyielding of any of the seven. His lands may be the most pleasant and well kept by a mile, but they are also arguably the least free.
If I were to pick any Demiurge to be ruled by it’d be Jadis. Before seeing the universe she was actually compasionate, and after she became so hands off that her 111,111 worlds more or less rule themselves, save when there’s a Grand Crusade by Jadis’ followers.
The least free? I’m sorry but no, you’re not free if you’re under constant threat of violence, or if powerful forces steal from you to the point where you can’t easily survive, or if you’re locked in a vault, or if you’re bound by an opressive religion, or if you’re literally being eaten and mind-controlled by worms.
They’re peaceful in the same way a decorative garden is peaceful. Don’t mistake the gardener’s work for compassion. They’ll cheerfully uproot you if they don’t like the way you grow.
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy
It comes rather close, by those standards, but the “Natural social heirarchy” is absent, beyond Solomon himself. Miliarisim is remarkably LOW, given that the god emperor provides all national defense himself. Forcible suppression of opposition is the tricky one. On the face of it, any opposition can express their displeasure in the arena- in practice, victory is impossible.
I would agree that none of the demiurges, including Solomon, are presented as positive examples, and each of them is a deeply flawed, stagnant being in thrall to their own personal neuroticisms. But on the other hand thinking Solomon is kind of cool anyway isn’t automatically Wow Cool Robot territory. You can understand the point of the character and still think it’s sick as fuck that he can move at ten thousand mph and do nuclear explosion punches
It could just mean we’ll get some more backstory to him? IDK, but I’d be happy to see him survive, he was quite the interesting character.
Seeing Allison surpass him in combat would also be mind-boggling.
Princess Jack Moonshine has likely lost and gained a couple names since we last saw her. We’ll have to wait to see what her name is now.
She’s walked the path to Ebon before, so she likely knows plenty of tricks to ascend in colors quickly, though I expect that last color will still be tricky to regain.
If Princess Mamoru Moonshine Jagermeister Jack Jack Daniels Timothy Tim Bill Freddy Mercury Blueberry Luna, Esquire’s name keeps getting shorter, they’re gonna end up being called just Prim.
When the Wheel is smashed, time and space shall shatter into a million shards, all that is will be dust, and Life will only come to itself again in an empty and barren void…
So I predict that ice will be very hard to come by! Stock up now, and your career should prosper, Preem Illia!
Taxes and licensing may become more difficult, however, for when all gods and kings are cast down, and the meek rise up in multitudes as one to claim ownership of the Multiverse, I expect that the ordinary boundaries of jurisdiction and authority will become very confusing indeed. If you are ever in need of an accountant to sort all that out for you, here is my card. *presents card*
I think that is Incubus above, the colors match if I’m not mistaken. They’ve probably undergone a few changes to fit better as a follower of Jagganoth as opposed to a hidden saboteur.
Good point, I guess White Chain inherited part of Solomon’s key. That supports the possibility that Solomon’s figure on the right doesn’t mean he’s alive, but could instead preclude a backstory we get of him so White Chain can better inherit his power.
how do you keep doing it Abbadon. i wasnt sure how hyped i was going to be for this cover page but you exceeded all my expectations and more. this is your best cover page yet im so excited for everything you have in store for us
I wonder who the figure in the far back is? they don’t appear to be Incubus. Along with that, it seems that Jack Daniel has further advanced in their devil level, furthermore, it seems our resident Angel-turned fleshing has a new power adorning their brow. Many things await us it seems.
Very excited to be in the last book and within wheel smashing territory. VERY cool book cover.
Interested in where she’ll get a sword (and chainmail) appropriate for the task. Maybe from her former master/manipulator?
Kind of hoping for the outfit on the cover of book 5, I still dig that look.

Greatest response to a spam bot EVER. Well done, magnificent idiot.
thank you, dear bureaucrat!
Please stop sending these to us. We don’t know what to do with them either.
well, what do you all have a second amnmnt for(beside starting political conflicts)? take them shotguns and go midevil on their asses!
I wonder if the people running bots like these are aware of how effective these bots aren’t
It doesn’t seem like they’re even trying. I mean, “machineman2012”? C’mon.
IDENTITY THEFT IS NOT A JOKE JIM!

What’s with her mouth
A rather berserkian smile I would say
Kinda looks like a painted doll.
Terrifying Nier vibes, I dig it! You know you’re gone when you find Emil adorable instead of wildly unnerving
I’m getting Gog vibes from it for some reason, and it’s making me nervous.
Funny, I was wondering where I’d seen that grin before…
well you see, her father was a drinker and a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself….
The girl has lost a stupid amount of blood, she’s allowed to have pale lips for a while
GUTS FACE GUTS FACE GUTS FACE
Cheeky Abbadon thinking we wouldn’t notice Solomon is alive off in the right corner
I was sure his final move consumed him. Definitely a twist
and he got a haircut!
Or did he get them all Cut?
More than that White Chain has… most (?) of the word “Diamond”? Perhaps from the pressures involved in how she found her true self?
more like solomon made her his emissary
or bequeathed her his key
Oh! What if he views her as a sort of daughter/successor, because it was through fighting (and besting) him that she was reborn?
To someone like him, such a chain of logic would make sense. Both the symbolic weight he places on daughters, and his tendency to make everything about himself.
Fascism. Is. Bad
“Wow, cool philosopher prince!!!!!”
Absolute theocratic monarchy is somewhat different from fascism, I daresay.
It really isn’t, because however long it takes to drive them mad in the end there is no such thing as a good or rational dictator.
He’s not fascist you mong. I swear speed readers gonna talk like they know jack from shit every time.

I’m not sure that “most free is best” is the truth in this story. After all, Throne is arguably the most free place and it’s a fucking mess.
But the noodles are superb!
What freedom is there in the wheel? Indeed only the ability to roll over.
But here we have a lord of smashing wheels.
The least free? I’m sorry but no, you’re not free if you’re under constant threat of violence, or if powerful forces steal from you to the point where you can’t easily survive, or if you’re locked in a vault, or if you’re bound by an opressive religion, or if you’re literally being eaten and mind-controlled by worms.

Theory: Weird how not even a piece of Cio’s imagery is on-screen, huh?
The cherubim imagery is Cio’s true maskless form.
Do we know who the Gold Devil on the left is? We don’t have any guarantee that if Cio comes back, she stays Blue.
That’s Princess Mamoru Moonshine Jagermeister Jack Jack Daniels Timothy Tim Bill Freddy Mercury Blueberry Luna, Esquire: freshly upgraded
Think she’s down to Princess Mamoru now.
Princess Jack Moonshine has likely lost and gained a couple names since we last saw her. We’ll have to wait to see what her name is now.
She’s walked the path to Ebon before, so she likely knows plenty of tricks to ascend in colors quickly, though I expect that last color will still be tricky to regain.

OMG, you might be on to something. She was a black daughter of Yis, and everything in this multiverse is just Yisun remembering himself.
I am also eager to see Cio, but the feathers and eyes are distinctly Metatron-esque.
I think Cio is dead forever
Yes, but what does this whole wheel-smashing business have to do with the price of frozen water?
ICE IS REQUIRED. WITH THE WORLD IN FLAMES YOU WILL SURELY PROSPER.

Breathe deep. Think clear._
For every birth, there will be the death.
So it ever is, and no words are sufficient.
Incalculable, Unspeakable, Unnameable and Overwhelming.
Painful as it has been, a relief will come.
The relief you have forgot will return.
The time, our time,
Is nigh, so nigh.

Who is the figure above Jagganoth? The design looks like Jadis but she is also next to Gog-Agog. An incubus isn’t anywhere on the cover
6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe?
The pink aura gives him away. It’s indeed our dirty boy Incubus
I didn’t realize it was his key, he’s so far away I thought it was supposed to be hair
I think that is Incubus above, the colors match if I’m not mistaken. They’ve probably undergone a few changes to fit better as a follower of Jagganoth as opposed to a hidden saboteur.
Incubus.
Zoss
Very awesome.
Rather enjoying the spaghetti-feather mess (Mettatron 1?) at the heart of the wheel. May the end of the era be glorious!
Holy shit White Chain returns, and is that a key I see embedded in her head? looks like princess has shed a few names as well
Why two purple gods? Shouldn’t one be yellow?
Yellow has been taken by Jaggy, if I’m not mistaken!
Good point, I guess White Chain inherited part of Solomon’s key. That supports the possibility that Solomon’s figure on the right doesn’t mean he’s alive, but could instead preclude a backstory we get of him so White Chain can better inherit his power.
Jaggy is just… standing there.
Menacingly!
This is going to be so good. My body is ready.
Princess is gold! White Chain has a key! Solomon is alive? Gog has gone emo!
Gog-a-goth
Gog-a-goth!
Are we sure that’s ONLY Princess? Because her skin looks stone.
Could she be a devil/angel combo? Princess Vigilant Gaze?
Good point!
Angel-Devil romance
The gold mask would be hidden.
Fusion is a cheap tactic.
All Might??
Yeah. I can’t not see that figure as All Might and I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Clearly it’s Springtrap Fivenights
Who better to teach somebody how to do a THRONE SMAAAAAASH!!
Nice wheel you have there all flawless and infertile, would be a shame if somebody were to smash it
The beards match; the facts don’t lie.
YEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Theory that Solomon David survived and is teaching White Chain????
Would be absolutely WILD if he has deemed her to be “his daughter” and heir.
how do you keep doing it Abbadon. i wasnt sure how hyped i was going to be for this cover page but you exceeded all my expectations and more. this is your best cover page yet im so excited for everything you have in store for us
Sweet, was hoping Princess upgraded to green!
Wait, that’s a gold mask. Princess is GOLD!
Princess had double XP weekend while Alison was hanging out with Jadis.
Glad we’re done with the prologue and can really start the story now. =D
It was the prologue we made along the way.
LETS. fucking. GO.
After giving the Book 1 cover a quick look, I just noticed for the first time that Zoss has a pocket watch.
(He also showed up in a hurry when first introduced, and has called Allison Alice before, which may or may not mean anything.)
Holy shit…
I wonder who the figure in the far back is? they don’t appear to be Incubus. Along with that, it seems that Jack Daniel has further advanced in their devil level, furthermore, it seems our resident Angel-turned fleshing has a new power adorning their brow. Many things await us it seems.
Why don’t you think it’s Incubus? Looks to fit him as best as a blurry distant figure could, and nobody else really fits the profile.
