Oh for the love of Mammon! Clearly she is not leaving the arena, which I could tolerate, but now she is distracting my (second) meal ticket with pointless prattle about matters of the heart! That insipid meat organ that cannot pump molten gold! One thousand divine fuckwords upon you!
If only I were a figure of more significant authority, I could use the legendary art of the Pimp Hand to subjugate every fool in this stadium!
Gotta say, Cio. Your Howl-esque sense of fashion on these recent pages really speaks to me! But emulating a pretty and selfish man who swallowed a star won’t save you here.
The other contestants should be smarter than that – when, in the midst of bloody carnage, two people take time out to sort out personal issues, it is just best to let it happen.
some people really don’t want to see any kind of blatant romance in a particular kind of story. The way you turned it into some kind of prejudice is sickening.
Well this story started with a girl almost fucking her fixed bf who she decided to go for cause everyone from her friends were doing it reasoning so she should too.
So the story had such themes from start, not mentioning Cio backstory of having a husband and countless lovers.
So now dissing things cause Cio x Allison gets some moment while also fightning sound plain stupid.
Plus the guy I posted reply to wrote”Especially not for this kind of romance.” so no there’s clearly prejudice in it, either for devil x human union or more possibly a girl x girl one. I can’t honestly understand what else you could read from such particular wording here.
Well, that is unfortunate. We know that Garuda’s master – a most friendly avian witch – and we met this Garuda at their mountaintop dojo. Nice boy, to our understanding he entered the tournament in order to raise charity funds for his dojo, which has fallen on hard times. We do hope his death inspires potential donors. Only the good die young, it seems.
This tale has now passed a threshold I longed fear would come.
This story started out as a spiritual successor to morrowind and gradually descended into a woke lesbian lovequest between an unlikable human with massive plot armor and a demon.
One of my favorite scenes from the first chapter was Cio saving Allison in Hell 71. I assumed the reason she was throwing everything away was out of some sort of devotion to maintaining the status quo of throne and preventing multiversal war, but now we know for sure it is because Cio, the demon sorcerer, wanted to have lesbian sex.
And what about White Chain’s quote, that the terrible gods of throne would “descend from their towers and rip the key from allison’s pretty skull” if they ever realized what she was hiding? It can’t be the pact of the seven part world, Mottom already horribly violated it with zero consequence from the other lords of infinity.
What are they waiting for? Is it because the script says they aren’t supposed to do anything until it’s too late?
Allison didn’t last a day in throne during the first chapter without half of its inhabitants trying to kill her over the key, but she has apparently lived in throne for a year while fighting various factions and nobody (except gog aggog) seems to have a clue the MASTER KEY is right there for the taking.
Yeah I’m sure I’ll be relentlessly attacked for what I’ve said, but I loved this story. I loved everything about the first chapter, and even parts of the second. You did not have to make this comic about fan service. You chose this fate willingly.
Eh, devils are kind of weird and impulsive. Their racial motto is “Do what ever the fuck you want”, so them acting what one would consider irrationally is par for the course.
Mottoms violation of the pact seem to have really ruffled feathers, but considering the lofty egos of the demiurges seems it’s regarded as more of a faux pas than a serious offense. She wasn’t really gunning to take down Mammon, she just sort of kicked over his sand castle and smashed some of his toys while having a tantrum. It then escalated to a nasty catfight but they don’t really seem intent on killing each other so much as ruining each other’s day.
It is explicitly stated though that trying to claim her Key would be a major violation of the pact that would instantly turn all the other demiurges against the one who did it. Most of the demiurges probably knew she was gallivanting around Throne, but none of them wanted to make the move that would kick off a serious business demiurge killing demiurge conflict, atleast before they were ready for it.
It is an old concept, don’t upset the balance of power.
If it is only two parties with power balanced between them, then an advantage to one may mean victory. But if it is several parties with power balanced between them, one gaining a significant advantage may only make them a target for the others to destroy before that advantage can be exploited. That could lead to a war that destroys everything. Or with the one party destroyed the others may divide the spoils roughly equally between them, and a create a new balance.
In this case a relatively minor power holding that key means that none of the major powers is holding it. Balance is maintained. Which isn’t to say that no one wants that key, they all do, but they can’t just take it because they know the others will attack if one power ever gets it. So instead they play games, try to control Allison – covertly – or take the key in such a way that it is not apparent that one party has taken it for themselves and thus upset the power balance. If they can manage that they can then work to seize complete power for themselves, but its not like just having the key will make them Number One, its not that easy, otherwise Allison would be Top Dog already.
Also, just because a character says something – in this case White Chain – doesn’t mean it is true.
None except Gog-Agog? Strange thing to say, considering Allison’s nightly lessons with Incubus who is plotting something insidious with Jagganoth. Mottom’s position we know, and she is probably, as commenters above pointed, restricted by others; Mammon is quarreling with Mottom, Solomon’s smugly observes all this childish crap, and Jadis, I guess, just doesn’t give a crap and patientely wants to die.
So, mass combat is the perfect place for couples therapy?
Nothing like the threat of messy death to cause you to focus on what is important, and you can work out your frustrations by killing some random opponent? Interesting. Not sure how widely applicable it is though.
How can you find so many facts? I enjoy the way that you
arrange everything, because it’s really easy to read.
Overall, I can recommend this guide to everybody who is interested in that topic.
Only discovered the comic about a week ago and been working through the archive. And got to say Cio is by far my favorite and every time she shows up and gets to be a bad ass I love her more.
This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing blog that understand the value. Im glad to have found this post as its such an interesting one! I am always on the lookout for quality posts and articles so i suppose im lucky to have found this! I hope you will be adding more in the future…
“to thicc and pretty”
paper magic time
so ready for this

“Divine fuckwords”? Preem Draco, tha’ made my day.

This is a wonderful moment of romantic drama. The fact it was inserted at a hilariously inappropriate moment makes it that much better.
“You’re not a bad girlfriend, Cio! Well, it would be nice if you occasionally shaved the hooked barbs off your legs, but that’s a minor issue.”
The other contestants should be smarter than that – when, in the midst of bloody carnage, two people take time out to sort out personal issues, it is just best to let it happen.
Let’s refrain from going this way, okay? I’m here for epicness, not romance. Especially not for this kind of romance.
Are you against devil x human union? Or girl x girl one? Just curious.

You know, when I heard there was such a thing as a “Game Theory”, I thought it wouldn’t be so dreadfully boring to study,
and so terrific to put into play. >:)

And now to search all the recent pages in this chapter for Cio in the crowd…
Even demons have a soft spot, at least after a while

Great articles and great layout. Your blog post deserves all of the positive feedback it’s been getting.
Oh, dear me. I hoped they would talk it out after the fight and instead they’re having their chat DURING it. This is even better.
Abbadon remains an exquisite liar, and has my deep respect.
What it says on the tin…..
