It was established a while back that our Earth’s gate is one of the 111,111 allotted to Mottom, although it hasn’t been opened yet. Still, if she knows what world Allison is from, that doesn’t bode well…
And here we see a principle of Preem Klas Vitaz in action: Never rely on the terms of friendship to defend against assault. Friendship can never stand up to the Will of a King.
Or a fleet of bloodthirsty mercenaries, for that matter.
I am Crying and I am Sobbing! Mottom, why must you reject the kindness of a grand dragon who simply harbors guests, and call him an idiot and declare him an enemy?
He’s really become a tragic figure quickly hasn’t me? All the previous chapters go on about some giant, kin slaying monster god that like Mottom is ready to burn worlds to ashes for one reason for another. Instead we have a frail old man, mostly senile, who thinks his greatest enemies are his friends. All he wants to do is count his gold….
Even the brightest fire dims down, even the sharpest blade loses its edge, even the greatest city falls to ruins… and even the greatest wealth turns worthless.
I think once he shakes off that delusion, we might get to see a fine display of the Art of Ultraviolence. Presumably, the power of his keys and his proficiency with them is able to match that of Mottom’s, but he’s still a dragon, and she’s just a mortal up-jumped to divinity.
Mottom has truly gone mad. It is simultaneously tragic and infuriating that she still fails to see the kindness young Alice did by freeing her. And poor Mammon. He still thinks the Seven are his friends. And perhaps they once were. But now they are all rotted. Ironic that Mammon seems to have escaped that rot through a different sort of rot.
…Well, as of this very moment, I am currently interested in exchanging my Mammonite bonds in exchange for platinum guilders, or another suitable universal currency.
I kinda want to know the origins of the Demiurges in more detail. I’m assuming Incubus is Meti’s promoted Starscream. The idea that some of them actually used to be friends might explain why they eventually settled down.
So Mottom really doesn’t have any extra intel on Allison’s location beyond knowing that Yre-Ynamon is her next destination. Can you imagine what would have happened if Allison had been a little less reckless and had spent a week or two resting to recover from her injuries instead of just rushing in? Mottom would have charged in and started tearing the place apart looking for a girl who simply wasn’t there.
Poor Nadia is just as mentally damaged as Mammon it seems, just in a different way. Most tragically she can’t even see it. Ironic, now that she is free from what she seemed to see as a hellish cage before, she misses it.
0000001, it should be pointed out, has taken on an attack by a god who rules 111,111 universes. That takes, I believe, a bit of what the vulgate call “guts.”

The obvious question raised by Frame #2 is: why does Cio have boobs but no nipples?
Since devils have no need for boobs does she just like the look of them? Has she decided to manifest some just for the hell of it? And if so, what does she have against nipples?
I am reminded of Barbie dolls. One could even compare Cio’s presumably chitinous carapace to the rigid plastic shell of a Barbie. Cio’s approach to devil anatomy seems to be rather like Mattel’s approach to human anatomy. An odd coincidence.
Well, Alison MAY have reignited the Universal War one way or another. But storming the vault kingdom of one of your fellow Gods is a FOR SURE way to go about restarting the Universal War.
Particularly if said storming is to find some one who is there causing trouble BECAUSE OF YOU. I enjoy how Nadia has no doubt that Alison succeeded in breaking in already, despite the relatively short time since they last saw each other to recover from the wounds and plan a heist of the most secure bank in the Multiverse.
Cio be like “Yeah, imma just gonna take this and run before the revenge hungry, crazy warlord-deity rips our atoms apart.” In other words, business as usual.

Don’t let her talk that way, Mammon! She is not Your friend, she loathes all that is good and valuable in all 777,777 worlds! Destroy her, my Lord! Destroy her entire armada!
I’m not going to count Mammon out yet though I doubt that he will prevail given his current state. Most of his defences have been breached, slain or completely bypassed. Though, there is one thing that I am seriously hoping that Abaddon does: That some (or all!) of the hoard is really mimics. Or maybe Mammon can just *create* them.
The road is always hard, often dangerous, sometimes impossible. The journeyman journey-man passes through little islands of food and shelter and security, and may be sorely tempted to linger. Tarry no longer than you would rest in any other shade. If you are still sickened with comfot, break the windows and pack your food from the pantries. Now the shelter is cold, the food is gone and the security has turned to danger.
One would think that one would be grateful for the destruction of one’s earthly fetters. The Rising King has given you a great gift, Nadia, a very great gift indeed.
In times like this there is only one word that may be spoken.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
now THIS is the first comment I came here to see
Shit Six Billion Bricks.
Well posted, friend. Well posted indeed.
#yes
Wait – HER world? Either she’s being presumptuous, or we’re about to get raided for bananas.
The second conquest remains unfinished. Many gates – including our own – lie closed, their worlds unplundered. But their ownership is not in doubt.
(source: https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/wielder-of-names-1-14/)
The gate to our world lays within her domain, although she hadn’t yet sent forces through to impose her will or collect tribute.
It turns out that, out of all the worlds in creation, only we have mastered the secret of deep-frying. It is a terrible burden.
Priase be, the frying depths!
It was established a while back that our Earth’s gate is one of the 111,111 allotted to Mottom, although it hasn’t been opened yet. Still, if she knows what world Allison is from, that doesn’t bode well…
Yep, our Gate simply hasn’t been opened yet
Yep. There are two Kinds of worlds Mottom owns: those she raided and those she still has to raid. Lucky us, but better have your bananas ready.
Never! The space monsters can take my bananas when they pry them from my cold, formerly living flesh!
I know that sounds like an invitation to get killed by space monsters, but little do they know that I know karate! Voodoo too!
Yeah, yeah, Mr . . . Rex. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.
Obviously, the solution to this is to deep-fry all our bananas.
Allison smacked you once.
Looks like she needs to do it again.
At least to make her eyes match.
Funny how she regenerated herself in a younger body, but the shiner she got from AL-YIS-UN remains.
Jeez Mottom you’re so extra :\
THE UNIVERSAL WAR IS KINDLED. FLEE, YOU CRAWLING THINGS, LEST YE BE CRUSHED BENEATH THE BURNING WHEELS OF THE DREAD KINGS OF THE MULTIVERSE.
*Rolls eyes* Jesus Christ, what a drama queen.
I love seeing this right below the one above, from 12 Mind Sits Under Dark Clouds.
It’s perfect whiplash.
XD
Truly, nothing is more terrifying then someone with nothing to loose.
Yet where our heroine is beginning to appreciate it, the glorious Mother laments it.
And here we see a principle of Preem Klas Vitaz in action: Never rely on the terms of friendship to defend against assault. Friendship can never stand up to the Will of a King.

Even the brightest fire dims down, even the sharpest blade loses its edge, even the greatest city falls to ruins… and even the greatest wealth turns worthless.
Cio is like, “Nope nope nope. I want none of that thank you very much.”
NAKED and AFRAID
WELL THEN.
But if her immortality is gone, how is she not an old hag? Did she have a few “peaches” left?
She’s too angry to realize xD
It’s more of a psychic effect. She no longer feels like she’s dying, so she stopped dying.
She’s got a bunch stockpiled.
For all we know, she might have a huge-ass hoard in her palace. Whole refrigerated vaults full of them.
Poor dragon. He still genuinely sees Mottom as his FRIEND.
Tragic. It’s all too terribly tragic. A crying shame, make no mistake.
I think once he shakes off that delusion, we might get to see a fine display of the Art of Ultraviolence. Presumably, the power of his keys and his proficiency with them is able to match that of Mottom’s, but he’s still a dragon, and she’s just a mortal up-jumped to divinity.
Don’t give free money to world-pillagers and expect your world not to get pillaged.
Mottom has truly gone mad. It is simultaneously tragic and infuriating that she still fails to see the kindness young Alice did by freeing her. And poor Mammon. He still thinks the Seven are his friends. And perhaps they once were. But now they are all rotted. Ironic that Mammon seems to have escaped that rot through a different sort of rot.
“freeing her” not sure how happy you might be if some came and “freed” you from the greater portion of your life expectancy
Unto we her children, Pree Aesma granted the ultimate blessing: we shall never know true boredom.
Unto the children of Koss, Pree Aesma granted the ultimate curse: that we would never let them know it either.
The children of the Vault have never known the sun. But know they know the light of that most terrible fire.
Behold, my lovelies. Want. Bright, merciless, and terrible.
As a side note, THAT’s what a run on a bank looks like! Set wide the spread-sheets, and prepare for merger and acquisition!
Eric -my balance sheets! Ross -get the readouts! Charge!
BEHOLD! THE INFINITE KINDNESS OF A GOD!
…Well, as of this very moment, I am currently interested in exchanging my Mammonite bonds in exchange for platinum guilders, or another suitable universal currency.
Fah! Fetid Ghoul Queen! Who are you to accuse others of rotting!?
Mottom had more foresight than I gave her credit for, bringing a war fleet as well.
Brick by Brick!
Sayeth the Glutton.
Nonsense!
Sayeth the Shut-In.
The Eighth Sin is spite
No, FEAR is the eighth sin. I will hear arguments for SPITE as the eighth.
Despair is the 8th sin
I kinda want to know the origins of the Demiurges in more detail. I’m assuming Incubus is Meti’s promoted Starscream. The idea that some of them actually used to be friends might explain why they eventually settled down.
First
Not
IA IA Fear Her
IA IA Revere Her
IA IA Pity What Stands In Her Path
I’m getting an interesting Almalexia vibe from Mottom.
I just hope Mammon isn’t Sotha Sil.
Oh man, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks Mama Om resembles Almalexia.
Praise Vivec!
So Mottom really doesn’t have any extra intel on Allison’s location beyond knowing that Yre-Ynamon is her next destination. Can you imagine what would have happened if Allison had been a little less reckless and had spent a week or two resting to recover from her injuries instead of just rushing in? Mottom would have charged in and started tearing the place apart looking for a girl who simply wasn’t there.
Hah! That would have been awkward.
I’m glad Cio has a good sense of “slip away while the monsters bicker”
Here comes the fleet!
Barrel roll!
There are no friendships among gods. Only truces.
Poor Nadia is just as mentally damaged as Mammon it seems, just in a different way. Most tragically she can’t even see it. Ironic, now that she is free from what she seemed to see as a hellish cage before, she misses it.
0000001, it should be pointed out, has taken on an attack by a god who rules 111,111 universes. That takes, I believe, a bit of what the vulgate call “guts.”
Zeal uses fear as fuel.
Can just speak to him and cooperate together…but where is the fun in that?
Brick by brick, tock by tick,
No matter how thick, no matter how thin,
Papa told Mama, and Laura told Nick,
You can move a mountain,
If you do it brick by brick.
Is anyone else hearing the approaching sound of arctic monkeys? No, just me?
Oh so Mottom DOES know Allison’s earth.
Oh no, they were friends, I was right.
DIDNT SEE THAT COMING :O
Dang @ that hover over text
It really got to me *shudders*
Stealth is one of the most universally useful skills.
It is surprising how few players ever truly understand this.
Yes, the heir is definitely the rando dudebro and not the woman who actually currently has the power of the ruling King.
Some people never learn.
The runners have a creed
about a dragon’s greed.
Do you know the other three?

Someone needs to be taught a lesson again

And war and war and war and war
Will shadow o’er forevermore
Well, there’s no way this isn’t going to end badly for everyone involved.

“I’ve lost everything I lamented. I now lament everything I’ve lost”.
Ack.
I’m not going to count Mammon out yet though I doubt that he will prevail given his current state. Most of his defences have been breached, slain or completely bypassed. Though, there is one thing that I am seriously hoping that Abaddon does: That some (or all!) of the hoard is really mimics. Or maybe Mammon can just *create* them.
What, really? How would the mimics legitimately make a difference between the loyal priests, accountants and counters, and Mottom’s mercenaries?
Nah, the mimics are certainly just an outer defence. Now that the sanctum has been breached, they are still in the outer shell – and thus worthless.
The road is always hard, often dangerous, sometimes impossible. The journeyman journey-man passes through little islands of food and shelter and security, and may be sorely tempted to linger. Tarry no longer than you would rest in any other shade. If you are still sickened with comfot, break the windows and pack your food from the pantries. Now the shelter is cold, the food is gone and the security has turned to danger.
Onward.
BE NICE TO GRANDPA DRAGON 🙁
ALL YE MORTALS AVERT THY GAZE, UNIVERSAL WAR APPROACHES
Well. I’m terrified.
First, strike, after makes DR. They are really a couple.
Looks like someone is about to wake the Mammon.
One would think that one would be grateful for the destruction of one’s earthly fetters. The Rising King has given you a great gift, Nadia, a very great gift indeed.
