I mean, I feel that’s a conservative measure. At ten cubits, the spear leaves a crater. Twenty is what we use to clear unsightly mountains. Thirty? You’ll be lucky to find anything in the aftermath, let alone a mark.
Allison? Ciocie? Hate to give advice midthrow, but maybe dial it back a bit? I’m not actually keen on seeing if you can actually snuff out an angel’s flame with brute force.
Part of me is holding out for a choice between a Thorn Knight body (representing White Chain doubling down on their current path), or going to wherever the Petal Knights get theirs done, to get a body that fits their identity better, and mark their decision to grow and change.
Third choice, though unlikely it may be, is that WC is grappled and the two become three. Mind that would take a godly level of self realization on White Chain’s Part.
I see so many remarks and speculations about Solomon David from the peanut gallery, yet his absence remains very conspicuous in the comic itself. It is…strange, to say the least.
Eh. We saw him not too long ago and it’s probably only been a few seconds of them fighting, and getting increasingly scary. I’m not to surprised he hasn’t made a new appearence yet, since it would either require the seen cutting away or Solomon jumping into the ring to break up too enemies, mid fight, during a tournament he set up.
now, what if it pops a hole in the Colosseum right where Papa Salami used to be, and White Chain in airplane mode flies them all out of there, escape team included?
Interesting idea, though there is no need for the rescue flight as Allicio could teleport everybody to safety. But the idea that this girl fight is all a plan to distract Solly whilst rescuing Zaid is an intriguing possibility.
Depends on the size and ferocity of the duck in question.
Some of them are quite large, and very determined.
Do not mess with an angry duck if you know what’s good for you.
That didn’t stop them from throwing a weapon known for slaughtering prime angels at them a few pages ago.
(I know neither of them might have known it was specifically used to kill angels, but that hardly matters in this context. Allicio is pushing their limits in this fight, and was throwing everything she had earlier. She wouldn’t hold back when she was actively losing the fight.)
The body doesn’t exactly come with an instruction manual. I’m assuming they’re still working out what it’s even possible for them to do. They’re basically discovering new abilities on the fly and then testing the limits of said freshly discovered abilities mid combat. Which makes them an incredibly unpredictable and therefore dangerous opponent for an angel that can’t adapt dynamically. You can’t really predict the actions of a foe who themselves doesn’t actually know exactly what they’re gonna be doing.
“Hey that spear thing was neat! Can we make it bigger? Cool! We totes can!”
Because this is a power Allison doesn’t have perfect control of, and is tied into her state of mind? Because they weren’t confident against white chain until they realised how they outclsssed her? Because she was holding back, at least subconciously?
There’s a lot of possible reasons. The ultimate reason is that this tells a more fun story than ‘Allison uses the fire of god to instantly win the fight every time, forever.’
Talking about using same moves twice, then does same move… wait this time its 30 Cubic Spear instead of 10? What’s the diffrence other than having triple body?
Observe Cio’s left hand in the last panel. She makes the magician’s gesture. Cio is making this move, with Alison giving it force. Cio really does want to repeat Alison’s earlier move with added blast and mess.
The main difference is its length. This time it’s most likely thirty and three cubits long instead of eleven but it is even more dangerous to measure it properly. I think it could actually be more like a javelin than a spear but I’m not planning to ask them.
As they say: “before you argue the nature of a ranged weapon you should walk two miles in its owner’s boots. This way you’re two miles away and he’s barefoot”.

But whose cubit do we go by?? Allison-arm, or skinny long Yabalchoathy Cio-arm? And as it’s the Rising King it should presumeably also be a Royal Cubit, so an extra palm.
Allison and Cio used Ten Cubit Spear as a reaction, after being smacked. Here, they have time to focus, and Cio is probably lending her superior expertise in drawing out the power of a Magus Gate.
Boom, dammit.
Strong, independent, smokin’-hot deviltry.
Welcome to the SLAM
That’s gonna leave a mark.

White chain will definitely need a new shell, at the least.
“Hello juggernaut Star? Is that Thorn Knight body still available? Yeah, tommorow would be great. Thanks.” *click, inhales* fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkk!!!!

The so-called Nuclear Makeover… it was very popular in the 80s.
Thirty cubits? Damnit Chain, yer in a right old pickle now.
I am going to have to give that last panel a rating of “YES”
I find that I must second this Motion in it’s Entirety.
Hear, hear. Totally badass panel.
We are in agreement then. The motion passes, and was unanimous.
“Our anger is a hammer that can shatter gods.”
going full kabuki XD
d-d-dun
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
“This is getting out of hand! Now there are three of them.” – Solomon, probably

I’m more interested in what Maya is doing right now. When’s the last time we saw her?
Eh. We saw him not too long ago and it’s probably only been a few seconds of them fighting, and getting increasingly scary. I’m not to surprised he hasn’t made a new appearence yet, since it would either require the seen cutting away or Solomon jumping into the ring to break up too enemies, mid fight, during a tournament he set up.
Solomon David has parked himself in front of the concession stand this entire fight.
Oh jeez. It was nice knowing you, White Chain.
If this does not pop WC’s balloon I will confess myself very disappointed.

Lets hope White Chain will get rebuilt with a proper lady stone body next time.
What would that look like, I wonder?
A lady, presumably!
The best answers are the simplest.
A stone-cold hottie, surely.
Metatron has that sharp one on standby.
Maybe this confrontation has all been written as a way to get White Chain into a more feminine armored form. I’d like to see something Valkyrie-ish.
“Now calling ticket 83… 83…”
nibelung valesti!
Excessive? Nonsens; There is no “overkill”, there is only “open fire and reload”.
There is no “Overkill” because unstoppable, inarguable force used to destroy an enemy before they can retaliate is the only correct answer.
DAAAMN son.
Any chance we could get that last panel as a wallpaper?
Yes please.
Wallpaper? Okay.
Poster? YES!
I second the ‘YES’ on a poster!
This is a really metal way to hunt ducks.
Upvoted this in my mind…
Depends on the size and ferocity of the duck in question.

Do not mess with an angry duck if you know what’s good for you.

Fuck yeah, “thaumonuclear” missile imbound!
Daaayum, this is getting cooler by the page – well done Abbadon!
…why didn’t they just do this earlier?
White Chain is their friend.

same reason you don’t start sex with an orgasm. takes a minute (your mileage may vary) to warm up.
Well, Krayu Mat has the potential to physically explode Allicio’s body, and also she only learned that it existed less then ten minutes ago.
Need to build up meter before you can use your super.
“Barely-contained nuclear explosion”.
30-cubit spear kebabs angel, trashes armour. Angel go boom?
The reactor is already breached. Best to shut it down before the meltdown causes too much damage.
Its not 30 cubits. Its 15,000.
Heads up, White Chain. Incoming!
I really wonder what Solomon and the rest of the audience make of this display.
If they’re smart they’re running for cover, beccause if it hits we’re going to see high velocity angel-bits. If it misses the arena roof is bye-bye.
The last panel takes place at 9 minutes, 59.99999999999 seconds.

Better focus, no more inhibitions.
Observe Cio’s left hand in the last panel. She makes the magician’s gesture. Cio is making this move, with Alison giving it force. Cio really does want to repeat Alison’s earlier move with added blast and mess.
She stole Zoss’ ultimate energy attack, and then improved it a minute later.
It’s a Kamehameha bargain bin sale!
The difference is that this one is a two-hander. If you’ve got it, flaunt it!

“30 cubit spear? And here I left my 50 cubit spear at home. Dang”
Don’t bring a 30 cubit spear to a 50 cubit spear fight. This is axiomatic.
I can practically _feel_ the sound effects in that last panel, and it’s amazing.
Time for some percussive maintenance.
I have had to spend days reading and rereading these recent pages because they’re so god damn INTENSE
