Please let our caped brother interupt this kickass battle with some kickass moves of his own, before this turns into a complete turn based event. White Chain needs to stay alive to finally accept herself and learn how to cheat at cards, dammit
Let me translate into most common human units. Cubit is a bit below half of a meter. Thirty cubits means about thirteen and three quarters of a meter. It’s also about as much as the height of eight or nine human men measured together. Very long for a spear.
I refuse to use the so called “imperial” system units as they make no sense.
well, now, that all depends on whose cubit we’re talking about. if we assume a distance from elbow to fingertip, that could range pretty wildly over thirty iterations. Cio’s original cubit is much shorter than Allison’s, but the bonus appendage on the Allicio model wound probably comes in at 60 feet or above. hard to get a solid measurement from the perspective.
Well… this is going to be awkward later assuming Allison doesn’t kill White Chain.
White Chain: “Hey, remember that one time I tried to get you to come home and you used Zoss’ special Angel slaying technique on me. Twice.”
Allison and Cio: “Yeah, right after you started using that ancient ultimate Angelic Martial art for slaying unbound devils and lesser gods against us.”
I believe that, according to one of the update texts, there is recorded history of Devilskin Warriors being active in the Demiurge wars, though they were rare, given the specifics.
Cio’s proposal of the merger to Allison also doesn’t make the process sound mythic, merely unusual.
The line between myth and recorded history is rather blurry in this setting. There are likely angels you could potentially get first hand accounts about those being of myth they fought. Does that make them any less mythical? Devilskin warriors were a very rare occurrence of in the ancient war where the current godkings rose to power and none survived. For all but the most ardent of scholar those times that sounds fairly mythical.
In that last image, it seems as though Alicio is using the same technique White chain is. They are manifesting both physically and spiritually, and in doing so they triple the power of the Spear of White Flame. How can White Chain not see that these kinds of manifestations of power indicate that Alison is the heir?
White Chain is afraid of change, as are all angels. And the change the Heir offers is the most dramatic of them all. The breaking of all things. If Allison had her way she would even break the dogma shackling White Chain and make the ancient woman see herself for what she really is.
Wise words. My frustrations with angels only compounds. In part I suspect White Chain is allowing herself to be deluded into thinking Zaid is the heir solely because she already knows Alison is, and she fears the change Alison will bring. If Zaid is the heir things are unlikely to change, and she does not risk being destroyed by her own metamorphosis.
It is a common frustration of mine, when someone sees prophecy being acted out before them, but denies it and continues to point at all the things that are “supposed” to happen. The inability (or unwillingness) to see Truth really sticks in my craw.
This is Garnet
Back together
And I’m never going down at the hands of the likes of you
Because I’m so much better
And every part of me is saying go get her
The two of us ain’t gonna follow your rules
Come at me without any of your fancy moves
Let’s go, just me and you
Let’s go, just one on two
Go ahead and try and hit me if you’re able
Can’t you see that my relationship is stable?
I can see you hate the way we intermingle
But I think you’re just mad cause you’re single
And you’re not gonna stop what we made together
We are gonna stay like this forever
If you break us apart we’ll just come back newer
And we’ll always be twice the gem that you are
I am made oh-oh-oh-oh-of
Lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, oh-oh-oh-oh-ove
Lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, lo-oh-oh-oh-ove
This is who we are
This is who I am
And if you think you can stop me
Then you need to think again
Cause I am a feeling
And I will never end
And I won’t let you hurt my planet
And I won’t let you hurt my friends
Go ahead and try and hit me if you’re able!
Can’t you see that my relationship is stable?
I know you think I’m not something you’re afraid of
Cause you think that you’ve seen what I’m made of
Well I am even more than the two of them!
Everything they care about is what I am!
I am their fury, I am their patience
I am a conversation!
I am made oh-oh-oh-oh-of
Lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, oh-oh-oh-oh-ove
And it’s stronger than you
Lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, lo-oh-oh-oh-ove
And it’s stronger than you
Lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, lo-oh-oh-oh-ove
And it’s stronger than you
Lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, lo-oh-oh-oh-ove, lo-oh-oh-oh-ove
I remember her fight with herself when under the influence of Incubus. They lunged at each other and we were sure it would be a great fight. We were all fooled. It was a great kiss. From someone who can cheat a cards, I think this “Ultimate Spear” would be the perfect bluff to draw the screaming angel onto the true attack. Perhaps another kiss, or, I wonder if Allison still has any of those Vacus needles she got from Lo-Kai.
Damn, now I’m probably going to be pretty much disappointed if your awesome prediction goes astray *__* Unless Abbadon has something even greater & cooler in store. He surely can.
It’s interesting getting to see Cio without her armor or mask. I’d say she looks a bit ebon, but I don’t know if that’s because her actual power is showing through or she just doesn’t have a mask.
I wonder if this will have implications for her nature going forward.
in no way is this excessive
Be at ease. A 14 metre spear is no more lethal than a 5 metre one, it just lets you poke things from further away.
*Anime fight music reaches its crescendo*
White Chain: “Nani???!!!”

Is 30 too many for cubits?

I refuse to use the so called “imperial” system units as they make no sense.
Without being pretentious, it’s about 45 feet.
well, now, that all depends on whose cubit we’re talking about. if we assume a distance from elbow to fingertip, that could range pretty wildly over thirty iterations. Cio’s original cubit is much shorter than Allison’s, but the bonus appendage on the Allicio model wound probably comes in at 60 feet or above. hard to get a solid measurement from the perspective.
Well shit, I think I just found my new lock screen. Hope thats okay if I use that last panel for that. ^_^;

Allison and Cio: “Yeah, right after you started using that ancient ultimate Angelic Martial art for slaying unbound devils and lesser gods against us.”
Notably, Allison is not a lesser god, nor Cio an unbound devil.
Fair, but a third category for which KRAYU MAT was used was “beings of myth” which I believe devilskin warriors would fall under.

In that they would then not be myths, yes, that makes them less mythical.
Good times, good times indeed…

That’s angels for ya, stubborn and slow to change.
Obliterate the sun!
That sure is a lot of cubits.
White Chain’s speech bubble has gone full Thorn Knight…

I can measure that spear off of the screen, and it clearly only 29.8 cubits. WC will survive this.
Fare tha well, White Chain.
Nyame will build you a new body.
So, first a 10 cubit spear, now a 30 cubit spear. I have only one question:
When will Allison learn to wield the legendary 6 billion cubit spear?
I remember her fight with herself when under the influence of Incubus. They lunged at each other and we were sure it would be a great fight. We were all fooled. It was a great kiss. From someone who can cheat a cards, I think this “Ultimate Spear” would be the perfect bluff to draw the screaming angel onto the true attack. Perhaps another kiss, or, I wonder if Allison still has any of those Vacus needles she got from Lo-Kai.
Interesting take. It would make sense given the whole card bluffing theme.
Damn, now I’m probably going to be pretty much disappointed if your awesome prediction goes astray *__* Unless Abbadon has something even greater & cooler in store. He surely can.
It’s interesting getting to see Cio without her armor or mask. I’d say she looks a bit ebon, but I don’t know if that’s because her actual power is showing through or she just doesn’t have a mask.

It kinda looks like she’s in shade form (not that devils usually have that problem).
I think that’s exactly the case – we see their black soul flame, both that of Allison and of Cio.
Cio’s soul is Cio-shaped and Cio-sized; it’s not eight feet tall with four arms. She has truly become herself, and this makes me very happy.
An astute observation.
Sometimes there’s a heavy hand
The poster on the wall gets banned
They hit the dirt and walk the land
The Heir (Allison) will have to learn to Forge Ash
To make White Chain a New Form
“Please consult your doctor if your spear lasts longer than four hours
Hahahahahahaha!!!!!
Rodent Lord, you have won the internet today. I laughed so hard I snorted milk out of my nose.
And I wasn’t even drinking milk!
*Bows in gratitude*
If any spectators are left in the arena, now would be the last chance to run for it.
That last panel would be a great desktop wallpaper.
no way Cio doesn’t get upgraded to a brighter, shinier devil rank after this one.
Words fail me in describing how much I love this page.
Is still expect this fight to get interrupted in the very near future.
Triple the length, 4 times the force (and hands required)
