It just dawned on me that Zoss probably doesn’t know what Allison is supposed to do. In this page, he pretty much admits that, as Ruler of the Multiverse, he tried to find the right course and failed despite his best efforts. If he, with all his power and wisdom, could not see the right path for himself, how could he direct anyone else towards it?
Unlike Solomon, who wants an heir to take his mantle and continue his work, it looks like old man Zoss is looking for someone who will be able to find a different path; but this path is one that Zoss himself cannot see. He is trying to keep Allison from making he mistakes he made, but he cannot point her towards the right course of action because he doesn’t really know what it is.
Taking a break from my terror for a moment…
I had a thought. Auntie Maya. I think I can get over my fears long enough to hope to see exactly how she’s going to fit into this. One who’s name means “Murder the Gods and Topple their Thrones.”
If I’m reading things right, Zoss’s direction is unclear. If that mission is indeed to topple the natural order, would Maya assist? Still seek the key for whatever sinister purpose that might be? What’s she going to do with this?
Though I suspect it’ll be at least a partly aligned purpose if Allison decides to topple those who think themselves Gods. Not that I’d mourn those assholes.
Well shit, now the consideration of the bigger picture has me terrified again.
If this whole world with a really unique belief system and mythology ends with the message of the Power of Freaking Friendship, I am going to be very upset.
Zoss is very spider-like in his representation here. Mandible-like moustache, the gold on his head shining like eyes in the darkness, his cloak as spider fur, artificial hand with a rope thread as he stands on the wheel/web.
well the man was a mass murderer-imperialist. one who masters the wheel cannot break it. yeah bc you can only ‘master’ it through violence. but violence begets more violence. who’s surprised that this guy’s empire ‘rotted’ and came to ruin? it was rotted from the start
but violence is inescapable, so ?
i feel solomon david could teach us some more

It is as they say: A wise man knows that he knows nothing.
(Took him long enough to realize, though)
Cue You Say Run
Wait… just… a minute…
Who’s demons is Allison supposed to kill, anyways?
All the demons.
All of them.
Time to rip a bong and eat ramen with our Warrior of the Broken Sword.
All for the cause, Revolutionary Girl Alice
All for an army to break The Wheel

Nay, my friend: the message is Revolution. Reach Heaven through violence. Murder the gods and topple their thrones.
Yes, topple the thrones, not place yourself upon them
Strange how a the wheel seen sideways looks like an open wound
Best get crackin’, girlie. You’ve got a a hundred and eight stars stars to make.
And six billion demons that ain’t gonna kill themselves.

Pity the spider is caught in his own web.
Anyone can cook!
Theory: We get a Solomon vs Zoss
Not only is he the king of swords, he has ten swords shoved in like the ten of swords
Beyond thrones. Beyond swords. There is more. Abdication is anointment, not of one brow, but of many. The Heir is not alone.

Nice.
I mean, even Jesus Christ and Krishna like some fight against kings and whole empires.
