      At the beginning, we saw his flesh crush a stone table.
      Now, the table’s have turned and flesh has remade what was stone.
      The cycle continues…

        Regardless, this has some… implications. Is she human now, or merely clad in flesh instead of stone?

        I find it highly dubious that white chain is Soloman’s ‘daughter’ now, even if she is human at all–‘twould be unjust to imply her intrinsic nobility has any relation to his tyranny. Successor, heir, and superior, by all means. But progeny? That would rob her of her agency, and it makes the supposition that she is human…

        Indeed, this could only be a passing visage–a rememberance. But… we shall see.

          I don’t think she could qualify as human, she still has a soul of white fire, but I expect that will be explored presently.

            It is said that the only reason he has only sons is that he did not feel any of them could adequately replace the ones he lost in the conquest of his planet.

            It will be illustrative to observe how he handles this set of circumstance.

          Pretty sure her appearance has nothing to do with Solomon. In her pure angel form she already had facial characteristics resembling her current appearance, so more than likely that’s who she always was inside. Also recall her mirror reflection from the scene where Angel Bros are chastising her for being what she is.

          I agree that she faced the truth and received its gift. The universe believed her: She will have the choice to not submit to wrongful law again.

          An Angel, bound permanently to Law itself, broke the Law in refusing to serve under its unyielding power. In doing so, it is possible that she made a NEW LAW, and thus became at least a Demigoddess… for a moment. After all, God IS the Word, and gods ARE the Law! If you break that law through an act of justice and self-will, you deserve to get a wish answered, though there will always be consequences. Alternately, because she chose Good over Law, she gained the power to conquer the Law that is the rigidity of Diamond. Either way…!

          I think we’ll see shortly what lingers, and I look forward to her new story: Born in emptiness, reborn in the true subdual of evil Law.

          I don’t think White Chain fell, though it is easy to believe that she did. The choice it appears she has been given is to be herself, free to be human, to feel pain and need, to become something both less and more than mere mindful power.

          The choice to become Real.

          And she is beautiful. I would love her willingly for all this and more.

        -Spill- blood, or -draw- blood?

        Because if White chain is now his daughter… “Of his blood…”

          Solomon stops glowing purple about halfway down, and white chain has a small blue atum in her new human form. There’s smoke coming from her hand, and she’s crackling with lightning just like Solomon did in a previous image when he took his key from Yemmod.

          Also.

          White chain: Do you CrossFit? You can cross fuck off!”

        What is it when a whole body full of a king’s blood is stolen from him without spilling a drop, and with it his kingdom? Honestly sounds like heirdom to me.

      Friday prediction: he reaches up with his left hand to touch his cheek, panel cut to: a drop of blood on his finger.

      Next panel: he looks down in surprise.
      Panel after: his goddamn arm came off, I can’t believe that happened!

      He’s looking not so good in that 3rd/4th last panel. The light has gone out of his eyes. He’s literally shocked. If not dead.
      If drawing a single drop of his blood was enough to win, killing him surely qualifies.

      He’s probably going to give her the old “lethal lookback” before having his head tumble to the ground.

    HOLY SHIT

    Instead of receiving death, White Chain becomes a new form of life. And my god, what a badass transition.

    You can see Solomon David REALLY enjoying himself here, but for the first time (during this timeline at least) he’s caught off guard. Nothing like this has ever happened before, and it’ll be interesting to see how he reacts to THE UNIVERSE LITERALLY RESHAPING WHITE CHAIN TO SAY FUCK YOU.

    I wonder if that means White Chain can use Ki Rata now?

      I interpreted her ability to move in David’s frozen time as her mimicking his Ki Rata technique.

        I did not interpret this as her learning Ki Rata, but rather just pushing her shell so damn hard that it was able to move in Solomon’s frozen time.

        The way Solomon moves his whole body is in motion and he seems at home, if burdened, in this state. White Chain looked like a badly used puppet.

      Ki Rata is learned, not genetic. Just because her new body has Solomon’s DNA doesn’t mean she knows it. At best she might understand one or two tricks of it from trying to copy Dave.

        That’s my point. White Chain clearly mimicked SD’s Ki Rata based abilities of moving ridiculously fast, so she may be able to use it now.

          Moving extremely fast seems to be a general angel ability.

        There is also the fact that she is potentially older than Rayuba, as an angel. There is a chance she dabbles in Ki Rata, no matter what other sources say on the matter of Who Can Breathe Just Right.

        Given the keys were constructed from knowledge torn from Metatron, an angel’s, mind, I wonder if another angel doesn’t need the key as a physical object like a human does.

        We haven’t seen a single angel with a leystone. Maybe all they need is the KNOWLEDGE, and if White Chain just went through Solomon David’s body and maybe read his mind/knowledge, that could be all she needs to operate as if the has a key of kings.

        Anyway, we don’t know for sure, but my point is we’ve never seen an angel with a leystone of any sort, and the keys originated with stuff taken from Metatron, so it’s at least plausible things work differently for angels when it comes to keys.

          If this sort of magic works by lying to the universe and having it believe you, angels wouldn’t be any good at it.
