There are fools and fools, just as there are lies and lies. White Chain at this point is a fool who thinks themself wise, and who hides her beautiful lie behind “his” many superficial lies.
Even if she could knock Aliccio out, and take the Key by force, she could not win.
“The Wushi Finger Hold!”
“Oh, you know this hold?”
“You’re bluffing. You’re bluffing! Shifu didn’t teach you that.”
“Nope. I figured it out.”
See, it’s still not a guarantee.
Yaldabaoth was one of the old strong ones, and may have fought angels in her time. Cio is the greater being in my eyes, and may contain much even if she fears she cannot match Yaldabaoths strength.
Ohh yes, the Thief Queen. This one tentatively assumed that was the intended name, yet Yaldaboath rung a faint and distant bell, thus this one sought clarity.
Thusly? This one’s memories are so bloated as this one is born to analyze and speak much, thus an overly gorged databank of words tends to bog down this one’s more distant recollections. Devil, if thou wouldst spare a meagerling effort to this one and expand upon this memory, thus would pay in other information if sought.
Yaldabaoth manifests and hides in plain view as a “Sister Assumpta!! ” when It gates to that Soil planet or whatever it’s called. Search for her and tha will find.
They meant Yabalchoath. Cio’s old self. Ebon devil. Stole a fragment of Mammon’s key of kings. Killed by angels. Husband, Praman Nand, made her a new mask. Re-summoned as a blue devil named Cio.
Cio is definitely a higher being the White Chain. When asked about their hypothetical D&D classes and levels, Abaddon had this to say on Tumblr:
“cio, level 30 Trash Goblin
allison, level 3 Idiot
white chain, level 10 Professional Asshole.”
In D&D 5e terms, that’s a fairly dense and informative statement. It means that Allison [at the time of asking] is just beginning to be able to hold her own in a group setting against many common monsters, and would have just begun the process of specializing in a fighting style [subclass]. It means that White Chain is a solid mid-level character who has, depending on class, just received some handy special abilities/stat boosts, and it means that Cio is literally on par with the gods of the setting–you can’t get to levels above 20 playing standard non-homebrew D&D.
All of this seems consistent with what we’ve seen of the party in canon–bearing in mind, though, that Allison holds the most powerful magic item in the setting, despite still being the lowest level of the three. (I imagine if he were to answer the question now, Abaddon would say that Allison is level 6 or 7…)
Remember that Cio briefly and unofficially joined the pantheon of the current gods of the setting… as did Maya and, in some sense, Allison.
I hear ya. Someone told Jagganoth that adding all of creation and non-creation together would collapse reality back into a singularity–thus rebirthing YISUN–and we’ve been running on precious borrowed time since.
This one knows the room in The Dragon’s vault in which the necessary Seven Thousand World Abacus can be found for this equation, however this one’s brothers have much excavation yet to perform to unearth the tool. We fear these ones have been delayed one and three quarters millennia, as there are rather many obstacles when digging through infinite spaces. We will be recovering these ones tool, but Jagganoth may have grown impatient before then..
This one is not amused by such dense soups of cliches, little arboreal mammal. This one thinks that this one may be setting too high of a standard for your species, thusly this one chastises oneself for assuming more could have been expected.
This one here gets way more pissed by condescension and some weird idea that you’re meaningfully better or different from any other person. This dude finds the roleplaying to be a bit much, and a large detractor from the enjoyment of this engaging comic. This fella thinks you could stand to work at appreciating others and being more sociable — work on being less judgemental and be secure in your appreciation of yourself, you don’t need to think you’re better than people to feel like you’re doing alright.
This one excoriated oneself for thus and is ignorant of how to edit or delete ones words. This one supposes it is like true words; once spoken cannot be returned. This one thinks, mayhaps, you should be wise to listen to your own words. Take a chill pill.
This one also assumed that the irony of this one’s tongue in cheek haughty name would not have been lost on the races, as this one was born to say to the listener that which is already known in as protracted and loquacious elucidation as possible. This one sees thus has assumed too much of some individuals of the races. This one will study further in an effort to not bruise so thoroughly the egos and Ids of these ones.
…well. This is a dilemma. By the unspoken rules of role-players everywhere, I believe I am technically obligated to bestow upon your brow the infamous pointed hat which reads “NO FUN.” But frankly, the bureaucratic warrior in me cannot help but weep in awe at the sheer boldness, cleverness, and dry irony which you have used to insult this poor, well-meaning old angel in one of the most infamously role-play infested forums anywhere in the world of webcomics. As much as I disagree with your intentions, I have to admit that you have, as they say, schooled us. My teacher would be proud of such an elegant and witty out-letting of raw aggression!
…you know what? Go in peace, friend 67 commenters roleplay too much. I will prolong your punishment by the “NO FUN” hat until I have properly requisitioned a hat which has “no technical defects”, that is to say I shall prolong it indefinitely (I can always invent some defects if need be).
This one has continued to self-flagellate over the perceived rudeness of this one’s words. This one would take them back if possible, or mayhaps deliver them kindlier, but so be thus that as here as elsewhere, one cannot take back those little red birds once spoken. This one only wishes for these ones brother 67 commenters roleplay too much to be at ease, and this one will continue to attempt to not bruise with this ones words.
This one was reprimanded by an uppity devil playing angel, so this one apologises to thus small tree mammal for all offenses taken. This one assumed it was to be understood in jest, but this one sees that the races can be so rather touchy. Forgiveness obligatorily requested.
But of course! Flirting with stylish strangers is one of the main reasons for wearing a mask at all. *transmutes ale into a rose and boops your nose with it* We can always catch the end of this fight later.
This one will never understand such seemingly frivolous biological impetusi, but this one has yet to be unamused by the dances of the races. This one will follow and observe until Al-Yis-Un’s scribe Abbadon gives these ones their next forward lurch in time. This one requests these ones disregard this one’s presence as this one takes notes.
This one prefers to observe from the uppermost northwest corner of a room, providing there is line of sight. This one doesn’t necessarily need line of sight, but this one’s calibration orifices are allowed several extra thousand decimal places of data when line of sight is available, so this one prefers line of sight.
When embroiled in fisticuffs or some such altercation one dose tend to notice anything outside of the opponent at hand.
None look above and rarely do any perceive anything bellow unless they are at the point of the altercation where they are embracing the supporting surface.
“Reach Heaven Through Violence”: Often an angelic saying and mistook for a koan, we are in fact seeing the expression used as a verb and ACT. Everyone in Throne has heard tales of it; very few have witnessed it.
This angel understands subtlety, if only just.
The master is training the student yet, but in the native language of devilkind, simply assuming they are subsumed by the mask.
Observe: White chain shall reach heaven through violence, but in doing so, AL YU SUN will learn something of heaven and violence, and how to fight back. there are deeper mysteries being tested and half unveiled here.
Angels wear inflexibility like a second skin, (nay, a first, for it is what they are).
So curious that White Chain would throw out their rapport established to now, and say such hurtful things – and such things that may be EXPECTED of an angel to say, yet ring untrue.
Students teach back. This is a show; and a show on multiple levels. For the angelic witness, for the demiurges and those beyond that watch, and even perhaps for the thorn angels.
But mostly it is a show for David, he who will not enter the ring unless there is a glimmer of a chance he shall lose.
It is this one’s impression that White Chain is a better student of her student than anyone realizes. Playing to one’s expected path is easy, and leaves room for the unexpected.
Mark my words, there will be a divergence of course. Perhaps not a reversal, but a tweeest, as they say.
White Chain has 82 incarnations to have a sense of tact hammered in. They cannot be eager for an 83rd.
Drawing out the ten cubit spear in front of an audience as a first act is wonderful showmanship.
Lets see the second act, white chain. What other mysteries do you have in store for us today?
If this one had breath, this one would be breathless at the eloquence thus displayed by this one’s brother 16 Reasons to Reconsider the Fist. This one believes very much that this one’s brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil is simply speaking in the language of violence to the Devil Skinned Warrior; this one now sees via the lense of your magnificent pontification that it is likely not only a lesson, but a conversation and a show for all who watch, these ones included. This one believes that Al-Yis-Un has only now recognized thus. Well said brother 16 Reasons to Reconsider the Fist. Well said indeed. This one is mainly one for information gathering, and less so for distribution, thus this one is grateful for the eloquence inherent in this one’s brothers.
This one agrees to a degree. This one thinks either this series of actions is intentional as a means to some end for the Devil Skinned Warrior, or as likely, ones brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil has been tainted by ones brother 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe. This one is wary of the burning seductiveness of ones brothers, Thorns. This one is concerned for ones brother and his flame’s wellbeing.
But the teacher is enwrapped in stone, both physically and emotionally.
They are still beholden to their elders and their precepts on what is.
Afraid they are to exercise a will to be themselves even though they have an inkling that they are not what others have always told them they are.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil must face their fear and let it pass over and through them.
What will be the cost of this revelation if it is embraced at all?
Will it come soon enough or will 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil become 83 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil ?
Hmmmn, I don’t think White Chain’s flame is meant to be that colour, for it’s a shade too demonic and lacks now completely the blue and white flame of angels. Or perhaps instead they’re about to explode?
Meanwhile Solomon’s internal monologue is composed of “fuck fuck fuck” and Gog’s wondering if we’ll get a pretty light show if the angel explodes
This one agrees in part with the initial concepts you have conveyed; this one fears that this one’s brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil may have been tainted by this one’s brother 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe and this ones brothers, Thorns. This one is wary of these ones.
Yes…this one’s heart is heavy for our brother… This one awaits with bated breath for the return of The Scribe with the next segment of timeflow so these ones may learn the fate of our brother…
White Chain has previously changed color in response to emotional termoil before, when she darkened in her dispair. Here, she is becoming a redder hue due to her fury. The Thorns are likely such a pure crimson because they have nothing but hate for the universe.
As I understand it, the number is for incarnations, not bodies. White Chain needed an armor replacement once already in this story, but didn’t increment because she didn’t actually die. This incarnation of White Chain isn’t a young one, so it she dies for real, it’ll probably take her longer than the remainder of the story to return as 83, and in addition she probably would not remember much of this life.
This one agrees with the facts presented thus. These ones may change bodies, and as long as thus bodies and soul flame still reside within thus order; these ones enumeration increase not. That is not to say these ones cannot be killed whilst still in armor, it is simply far more likely that the body is destroyed and thus flames return to the void. It is a terrifying battle indeed that kills these ones outside of the void. This one does not feel at all that this one’s brother will be destroyed thus, as it would impede Al-Yis-Un’s necessary path. This one thinks, mayhaps, that all players involved would work hard to prevent thus, should they know the consequences thereof. This one is confident that this one’s brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil will simply get his corporeal and incorporeal bottom soundly trounced on the nonce.
Krayu Mat: “its origins are in the primal killing movements of angels in their ancient forms, whose foes at the time were enormous unbound devils” Hmmmm!
This one thinks 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil is exerting more than ones brother can tolerate, and ones brother is surely on the fast route to their 83.
This one thinks one’s brother is holding back; mayhaps, this one thinks, 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil is using a known pattern, thusly attempting to teach the Devil Skinned Warrior the concept they need to learn. This one cannot say for certain until this one is allowed the next movement through this time.
The language of this lesson includes erudite phrases such as “RAAAAAH” “RRRRAAAAH” “AAAAAA” and “Hff Hff Hff.” I remain skeptical. But, as you say, time will tell.
This one feels that one’s brother may be using what he feels the Devil Skinned Warrior will understand best to communicate this lesson: violence. 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil has said that he feels the Devil Skinned Warrior only understands violence, thusly this one feels that is the language of this particular lesson, and less so the exchange of words.
I’ve always wanted to see someone catch a beating from a four-handed opponent. YISUN blesses me this day. Or…the day when we see the next part of ALICCIO VS WHITE CHAIN: SALAMIDOME THUNDERBOWL!
This one agrees. This one awaits in eager anticipation for when Al-Yis-Un’s scribe Abbadon allows these ones to lurch forward in time. This one has impatiently jumped back to the start of it all to end back here several times in attempt to scratch the itch of progress.
It would be an unfortunate ending on many levels, leaving so much unresolved for now, but that’s tension, isn’t it? And unresolved tension makes for good stories.
It occurs to me that all Allicio need to do is to get White Chain off what remains of the platform — at which point they will have been ‘defeated’ in the code of the Great Salami’s tournament, and presumably will be ‘removed’ in expedient fashion so that Salami may fetch his brown pants and tournament matters may progress.
Look yon, ye Aeons of Vapor and Plasma, ye younglings before your race: See how your sister-brother tears away at herself in pursuit of that terrible Violence! Bear witness to her vessel as it cracks and groans and chips away! Is it no wonder that her be-deviled disciple should see through such reckless attacks?
Let our sister-brother be an example, little ones, of how quickly we throw away what is precious to us in the heat of anger.
This one agrees and enjoys your song brother. This one hypothesizes, however, that perhaps 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil is trying to simply convey a lesson in the only language he feels the Devil Skinned Warrior currently understands: violence. This one feels that all thus far mayhaps be a show for Solomon? That these ones brother wishes to teach one more lesson, or mayhap goad the Devil Skinned Warrior into higher strata of power? Mayhaps. This one concurrently theorizes that these ones brother may have been tainted by these ones brother 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe and these ones brothers, Thorns. This one will say it plenty that thus be wary of these brothers. Their burning seductiveness is a steep pit indeed.
This one fears this one’s brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil has been tainted by these ones brother 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe. The Thorn brothers’ burning seductiveness is a steep pit indeed.
What could you mean, “canon”? Is that some sort of payed for position?
If so, I wholeheartedly agree! Though I’m not sure what a Head of Wax could use the riches for. Anyway, what a phenomenal little trinket!
Angels who think they can beat the power of love are fools indeed.
And yet fools rule the world. Make of it what you will.
Just because group a are fools and group b are fools does not mean group a and group b are the same.
Or that there are no other groups at play at all.
On balance of statistics, it does start to look as though it is fools all the way down, however.
That it does.
There is no up or down, a or b.
Just a Möbius strip where everything has two sides that really aren’t.
Division is the First and Final Lie.
Pretty much.
There are fools and fools, just as there are lies and lies. White Chain at this point is a fool who thinks themself wise, and who hides her beautiful lie behind “his” many superficial lies.
Even if she could knock Aliccio out, and take the Key by force, she could not win.
Why do fools fall in love?
Fools Rush In Where Angels Fear to Tread.
Appropriate.
Quite appropriate indeed.
Why thank you Grand Priestrix. Milk and sugar?
Indeed. *sips*
You don’t need money, don’t take fame, don’t need no credit card to ride this train
that’s the power of love
The one who uses their love as a weapon is among the greatest of fools.
The one who dares to challenge them is a greater fool still.
To teach is to hand your disciple the key to your own demise.
“Never play poker with the man who taught you.”
“Taught her everything she knows. Didn’t teach her everything I know.”
“The Wushi Finger Hold!”
“Oh, you know this hold?”
“You’re bluffing. You’re bluffing! Shifu didn’t teach you that.”
“Nope. I figured it out.”
See, it’s still not a guarantee.
Beautiful reference, Preem Derrick.
I get the feeling that the source of Allicio’s knowledge is not White Chain.
Yaldabaoth was one of the old strong ones, and may have fought angels in her time. Cio is the greater being in my eyes, and may contain much even if she fears she cannot match Yaldabaoths strength.
This one must have been in this one’s body for too long as no memory of this name, Yaldaboath, can be found…this one queries on thus?
Ah yes, pardon. Hazard of reading one too many grimoires, one tends to swim in a sea of names. I meant Yabalchoath.
Ohh yes, the Thief Queen. This one tentatively assumed that was the intended name, yet Yaldaboath rung a faint and distant bell, thus this one sought clarity.
Sure tha remembers Yaldaboath. Tha was wearin tha blue jumper.
Thusly? This one’s memories are so bloated as this one is born to analyze and speak much, thus an overly gorged databank of words tends to bog down this one’s more distant recollections. Devil, if thou wouldst spare a meagerling effort to this one and expand upon this memory, thus would pay in other information if sought.
Yaldabeoth is the first among My order. Bit of a blowhard if you ask me
Yaldabaoth manifests and hides in plain view as a “Sister Assumpta!! ” when It gates to that Soil planet or whatever it’s called. Search for her and tha will find.
They meant Yabalchoath. Cio’s old self. Ebon devil. Stole a fragment of Mammon’s key of kings. Killed by angels. Husband, Praman Nand, made her a new mask. Re-summoned as a blue devil named Cio.
Yaldabaoth is the demiurge of Earth, if I remember correctly.
Cio is definitely a higher being the White Chain. When asked about their hypothetical D&D classes and levels, Abaddon had this to say on Tumblr:
“cio, level 30 Trash Goblin
allison, level 3 Idiot
white chain, level 10 Professional Asshole.”
In D&D 5e terms, that’s a fairly dense and informative statement. It means that Allison [at the time of asking] is just beginning to be able to hold her own in a group setting against many common monsters, and would have just begun the process of specializing in a fighting style [subclass]. It means that White Chain is a solid mid-level character who has, depending on class, just received some handy special abilities/stat boosts, and it means that Cio is literally on par with the gods of the setting–you can’t get to levels above 20 playing standard non-homebrew D&D.
All of this seems consistent with what we’ve seen of the party in canon–bearing in mind, though, that Allison holds the most powerful magic item in the setting, despite still being the lowest level of the three. (I imagine if he were to answer the question now, Abaddon would say that Allison is level 6 or 7…)
Remember that Cio briefly and unofficially joined the pantheon of the current gods of the setting… as did Maya and, in some sense, Allison.
It is truly a sad master not exceeded by his student.
Tell me about it. I taught some kindergartners addition once and I’ve had to sleep with one eye open ever since.
I hear ya. Someone told Jagganoth that adding all of creation and non-creation together would collapse reality back into a singularity–thus rebirthing YISUN–and we’ve been running on precious borrowed time since.
This one knows the room in The Dragon’s vault in which the necessary Seven Thousand World Abacus can be found for this equation, however this one’s brothers have much excavation yet to perform to unearth the tool. We fear these ones have been delayed one and three quarters millennia, as there are rather many obstacles when digging through infinite spaces. We will be recovering these ones tool, but Jagganoth may have grown impatient before then..
When it comes down to it, one day everyone will meet their demise.
There is no escaping it, but it can be made more fun.
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
Nobody mentioned you at all.
Restraint and Emptiness are no more,
Filled with anger, fools fall.
This one agrees with your song.
White Chain, your technique is ….
INEXCUSABLY SLOPPY
Nah, she’s just using the oldest moves in the book.
… I would say they literally that, but they’re so old they may predate books. That is how old they are. Fookin old.
Their power levels are over 9000!!!

Upon revision this one is now unsure to whom which points of your articulation go.
Shall tip my helm as you wander past, good Doctor. One’s preconceptions of bureaucrats have been confuted.
This one was reprimanded by an uppity devil playing angel, so this one apologises to thus small tree mammal for all offenses taken. This one assumed it was to be understood in jest, but this one sees that the races can be so rather touchy. Forgiveness obligatorily requested.
Ah, White Chain! You are too pure for this world. No master with half-sense would teach their pupils ALL their moves.
Well, not ALL. They only know one leg technique, recall!
These were the Devil killing moves of old. It is Cio that recognizes them, not Allison.
The masked one is right.
And masked.
Hello, gorgeous, may I flirt with you? * hands ale over * The Night is so young.
But of course! Flirting with stylish strangers is one of the main reasons for wearing a mask at all. *transmutes ale into a rose and boops your nose with it* We can always catch the end of this fight later.

Begin the jojos piano music
It seems my brother is getting a bit reckless in their fighting and the student is about to do what the master has done in the past.
This one agrees to a degree. This one thinks either this series of actions is intentional as a means to some end for the Devil Skinned Warrior, or as likely, ones brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil has been tainted by ones brother 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe. This one is wary of the burning seductiveness of ones brothers, Thorns. This one is concerned for ones brother and his flame’s wellbeing.
The student becomes the teacher.
If the teacher is any good, they should be learning from, and with, the student as soon as they start teaching them.
But the teacher is enwrapped in stone, both physically and emotionally.
They are still beholden to their elders and their precepts on what is.
Afraid they are to exercise a will to be themselves even though they have an inkling that they are not what others have always told them they are.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

What will be the cost of this revelation if it is embraced at all?
Will it come soon enough or will 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil become 83 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil ?
So many questions.
So little time.
teach them all THEY know. don’t teach them all YOU know.
Hmmmn, I don’t think White Chain’s flame is meant to be that colour, for it’s a shade too demonic and lacks now completely the blue and white flame of angels. Or perhaps instead they’re about to explode?
Meanwhile Solomon’s internal monologue is composed of “fuck fuck fuck” and Gog’s wondering if we’ll get a pretty light show if the angel explodes
This one agrees in part with the initial concepts you have conveyed; this one fears that this one’s brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil may have been tainted by this one’s brother 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe and this ones brothers, Thorns. This one is wary of these ones.
Indeed, a bloodied Thorn-red is a color most unbefitting a Knight of the Concordant Harmonies.
Yes…this one’s heart is heavy for our brother… This one awaits with bated breath for the return of The Scribe with the next segment of timeflow so these ones may learn the fate of our brother…
White Chain has previously changed color in response to emotional termoil before, when she darkened in her dispair. Here, she is becoming a redder hue due to her fury. The Thorns are likely such a pure crimson because they have nothing but hate for the universe.
You think a mere nuclear explosion is going to hurt Solomon. At most it will cause him to go all Luke Skywalker and dust of his robes.
Ooh now you busted her Sailor Moon pigtail.
No, seriously, I really hope somebody has the eighty-third one ready for White Chain, ’cause she’s blowing it! She’s really blowing it!!
As I understand it, the number is for incarnations, not bodies. White Chain needed an armor replacement once already in this story, but didn’t increment because she didn’t actually die. This incarnation of White Chain isn’t a young one, so it she dies for real, it’ll probably take her longer than the remainder of the story to return as 83, and in addition she probably would not remember much of this life.
This one agrees with the facts presented thus. These ones may change bodies, and as long as thus bodies and soul flame still reside within thus order; these ones enumeration increase not. That is not to say these ones cannot be killed whilst still in armor, it is simply far more likely that the body is destroyed and thus flames return to the void. It is a terrifying battle indeed that kills these ones outside of the void. This one does not feel at all that this one’s brother will be destroyed thus, as it would impede Al-Yis-Un’s necessary path. This one thinks, mayhaps, that all players involved would work hard to prevent thus, should they know the consequences thereof. This one is confident that this one’s brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil will simply get his corporeal and incorporeal bottom soundly trounced on the nonce.
Krayu Mat: “its origins are in the primal killing movements of angels in their ancient forms, whose foes at the time were enormous unbound devils” Hmmmm!
This one thinks 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil is exerting more than ones brother can tolerate, and ones brother is surely on the fast route to their 83.
Krayu Mat – Punching things. But in an ancient angelic kinda way.
Very much enjoying this reboot of “Punched by and Angel.”
This one thinks one’s brother is holding back; mayhaps, this one thinks, 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil is using a known pattern, thusly attempting to teach the Devil Skinned Warrior the concept they need to learn. This one cannot say for certain until this one is allowed the next movement through this time.
The language of this lesson includes erudite phrases such as “RAAAAAH” “RRRRAAAAH” “AAAAAA” and “Hff Hff Hff.” I remain skeptical. But, as you say, time will tell.
This one feels that one’s brother may be using what he feels the Devil Skinned Warrior will understand best to communicate this lesson: violence. 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil has said that he feels the Devil Skinned Warrior only understands violence, thusly this one feels that is the language of this particular lesson, and less so the exchange of words.
I notice how the body’s face is still showing rage but the soulflame is going ‘What the!?!?!’
I’ve always wanted to see someone catch a beating from a four-handed opponent. YISUN blesses me this day. Or…the day when we see the next part of ALICCIO VS WHITE CHAIN: SALAMIDOME THUNDERBOWL!
This one agrees. This one awaits in eager anticipation for when Al-Yis-Un’s scribe Abbadon allows these ones to lurch forward in time. This one has impatiently jumped back to the start of it all to end back here several times in attempt to scratch the itch of progress.
One notices what’s not present? A battle to make even Gog-Agog shut its putrid face.
This one is curious to know more of this thought process.
You know, after all of this, this might be the first world they leave not crashing down in flames.
I’m assuming they’ll be way too tuckered out after this to make things worse.
It would be an unfortunate ending on many levels, leaving so much unresolved for now, but that’s tension, isn’t it? And unresolved tension makes for good stories.
It occurs to me that all Allicio need to do is to get White Chain off what remains of the platform — at which point they will have been ‘defeated’ in the code of the Great Salami’s tournament, and presumably will be ‘removed’ in expedient fashion so that Salami may fetch his brown pants and tournament matters may progress.
Look yon, ye Aeons of Vapor and Plasma, ye younglings before your race: See how your sister-brother tears away at herself in pursuit of that terrible Violence! Bear witness to her vessel as it cracks and groans and chips away! Is it no wonder that her be-deviled disciple should see through such reckless attacks?
Let our sister-brother be an example, little ones, of how quickly we throw away what is precious to us in the heat of anger.
This one agrees and enjoys your song brother. This one hypothesizes, however, that perhaps 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil is trying to simply convey a lesson in the only language he feels the Devil Skinned Warrior currently understands: violence. This one feels that all thus far mayhaps be a show for Solomon? That these ones brother wishes to teach one more lesson, or mayhap goad the Devil Skinned Warrior into higher strata of power? Mayhaps. This one concurrently theorizes that these ones brother may have been tainted by these ones brother 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe and these ones brothers, Thorns. This one will say it plenty that thus be wary of these brothers. Their burning seductiveness is a steep pit indeed.
white chains like 10 rage away from going full thorn
This one fears this one’s brother 82 White Chain Born in Emptiness Returns to Subdue Evil has been tainted by these ones brother 6 Juggernaut Star Scours the Universe. The Thorn brothers’ burning seductiveness is a steep pit indeed.
Krayu Mat was likely used against Yabalchoath during her downfall. I wonder if that’s the source of the memories here.
Tracks follow the groove
All other routes will lose
Now you show me a move
Abaddon needs to make you canon buddy
What could you mean, “canon”? Is that some sort of payed for position?
If so, I wholeheartedly agree! Though I’m not sure what a Head of Wax could use the riches for. Anyway, what a phenomenal little trinket!
White Chain seems to forget that she trained Aly Shun. But there was no knowing if they would end up fighting. Time to turn the tables
