KING OF SWORDS 10-156
Chapter: 10
“When the rage of the princes of the world could no longer be contained within their golden bodies, it spilled out into the land.
Thus also with their sorrow.”
– Glass Scroll, SC 45
Kill Six Billion Demons
BREAKER OF INFINITIES
I’M NOT WORRIED AT ALL *weeps*
I believe in her
She’s like Connor MacGregor.
Punching her in the face until she bleeds only makes her stronger.
I don’t know which Conor McGregor you’ve watched but it certainly doesnt sound like the one I’ve watched.
Didn’t really work like that against Mayweather, but sure.
Then again, that was a boxing match, not MMA and McGregor did manage 10 rounds before the TKO – which is impressive for an MMA fighter used to shorter fights. So maybe there is some truth…
Unless your name is Khabib “I will smesh your boy” Nurmagomedov
TBQH that sounds more like Connor MacLeod to me.
…One problem with that strategy: she has TWO bodies.
She pulled her soul back in in the last page.
She Did?! I had to go back and look, and you’re right, it’s there in panel 2, but it’s a bit hard to see. With soul and body together again, Solomon really has got White Chain by the throat. What next, cupcake?
Don’t worry y’all I think she has him on the ropes
She’ll finish him off any second now… any second…
None have ever overcome the ancient technique of ‘get my stone ass handed to me over and over.’ My strategy is foolproof!
I’m bleeding, making me the victor.
He’s got her surrounded, that poor basterd.
“We’re surrounded!”
“Excellent, now we can fire in any direction!”
Honestly you’re not wrong, she’s only in this situation to talk shit to Dave’s face as an un-killable angel, it’s not like she’s trying for his kingdom or at risk of true death. Solomon is trying in vain to make a physical beatdown count as a rhetorical one, and all White Chain needs to do to draw blood from Solomon’s ego is remain unconvinced and keep calling his shit. So what if she gets knocked into the void, she can come back and remind him Zoss hits harder, and he’s got no response. This matchup only works out for him if he’s fighting another mortal, or a really easily impressed immortal.
WC can now safely detonate without enveloping the crowd in the arena, big boy Solomon has trimmed his last beard.
This is fine. 🙂
*thousand yard stare*
*purple flame engulfes the background*
the prisoner observes the breadth of his jail, and marvels, for every inch of his craftsmanship is without parallel
One cannot conquer one’s own defeat.
I highly doubt that tyrants like him need to exist. But Solomon David has not realised that one can protect without ruling. For that to be acknowledged, the diamond must be shattered.
Monologuing once again, I see. If only someone would provide some kind of distraction.
Gosh, I wonder what Jagganoth’s been up to all this time?
Forget about that guy, what’s been Gog-Agog doing off panel? this is technically her plan.
Yon Bearer o The Word ‘Blade’? Most likesome thum’s been, erm, mekkin more blades?
Jagganoth?
Cutting, of course.
how did you know? are you just abbadon posting under an anonymous username? lmao
don’t worry guys i think she’s got this
Each strike also comes with various public domain sound effects, such as glass shattering, doors slamming, and the hanna-barbera running noise.
Why public domain?
What, you think the studio’s made of money?
*The studio is just dozens of Gogs-Agog in various cubicles and such.
Dozens? HUNDREDS!
Trillions
The devourer of worlds
The cubicles are also Gogs-Agog.
Most, but a few are mimics that escaped from the Vault.
In a surprise twist, the mimics are also Gog Agog.
Lo, the King gazes upon his prison of his own making and doubts.
Lo, the fires an cinders of the world as a diamond cracks.
Lo, the Red God cometh, and he brings the blade that may topple the Throne of Kings.
I don’t think Solomon monologues just to anyone. He’s a man of spectacle and this reads as a private confession, a moment of truth shown to someone who will take it to their grave
Except he is confessing to a being that is 100% guaranteed not to die…
Yeah, but angels forget stuff when they reincarnate so it’s probably cool.
“Fool, did you not just say ‘I am my own justification’? Men like you need never exist, except that you choose to. You made your prison, you can break free of it.”
impetus
The only reason for men like you to exist, is because of men like you.
And Mottom, Jadis, and the anthropomorphic wannabe?
Thousand fists echoing flame
Different art in all but name
Diamond broke through diamond wall
Facet shows where no eye falls
Angel gripped in tyrant’s hand,
Gaze forlorn upon the land.
To the skies the battle calls,
One shall stand and one shall fall.
the peak is lonely as it stands above all. one would wish to be among the land but realize that they are an extension of the lend itself.
So she’s playing him right? trying to catch him while hes monologuing?
Exactly! Then she skewers him with a devastating retort.
“Then the [Demiurge] took [her] up and showed [her] in a second all the kingdoms of the world.”
White Chain is a mercurial fighter; her strength is concealed and she waits for her moment to strike. Pree Aesma, lend your fell strength to her hand.
An angel may be defeated, but not killed, not permanently, and we do not know how long one needs to be dormant before it resurrects.
We do know that the amount of time between incarnations has something to do with it. The Primes had been existing since their beginning without incarnating for something approaching an eon before Zoss knocked them out. Whatever length of time that was, it was far longer than the time between Zoss and the present day and there’s no sense of expecting the Primes to wake up anytime soon.
Doesn’t really explain 2 Michael, but we don’t know the full story behind him.
As long as one spent alive in this reincarnation; which is why all but two of the Primes are all still dormant. This should not be long with White Chain, as she has the highest number of reincarnations of all.
I knew Solomon was a self serving tyrannical power house but I never figured he’d be this high on his own supply of bullshit. Tyranny is the least necessary expenditure of power imaginable, as for every minute you may dedicate to protecting your people you must spend five more crushing them back into your iron grip. A true ruler lives and protects by example not by the instruction of the rod.
Thus is he tainted with pride. The lure of tyranny is felt when you assume you know best, and thus your decisions over the lives of many are the most right.
Sounds like a certain orange faced yellow haired leader, but I suppose one should make a distinction between narcissism and pride.
Sadly, those afflicted with hubristic pride are often also afflicted with narcissism.
An iron grip is necessary when Gog-Agog is constantly assimilating your citizens in the background.
I don’t get why Solomon is so bad. He pompous, but rightfully so. He’s created societies where people adore him, and he’s saved worlds. He brags, because he’s right.
Solomon, like all other demiurges, created a society which fully depends on him. Thus with his demise his creation will fall apart, devastating many lives in the process. That alone makes Solomon as “bad” as every other empire-builder, Zoss included. At least Zoss recognised his mistake before it comes and bites his conquering ass.
What manner of construct did Solomon launch through in panel 6?
It is a sort of hanging canopy or pallium that is suspended over their fighting rink
The old rope a dope! She’s got him right where she wants him!
Ooh but din’t Stoneyarse rawsome hit a nerve. Set ol’ SalamiDrawers right off.
Perhaps from that height I could find my way home.
*MONOLOGUE INTENSIFIES*
Ah, as I said…t’was simply delaying the inevitable. If she can pull victory from such a grim position, it’d be a right miracle.
Angels and miracles? At the same time? I’ve never even heard of such a thing.
abaddon I love you but please don’t have this end with solomon accidentally getting nicked on the hand for not noticing his surroundings or something i literally beg you
Unusually sharp bird flies into floating Solomon.
Bird now Emperor.
All hail Emperor Bird, Lord of the Skies!
Have faith, lost one. Our Storyteller is exceptionally skilled, and will certainly wring more drama from this moment than a bit of flying glass.
I don’t believe we have yet heard the last from Ms. Chain.
