So the great sphinx was one a stubby biped.
Curious.
Though if one assumes the little mushroom like thing in her hand to be the key, the thing Nand’s forehead wouldn’t be, non?
I imagine that demons understand better than most that fire never can be satisfied, but this Court thought more that Yab would be so busy with her current schemes that they need not keep such a close eye on her. Fire tended by the careful feeding of logs is very different from fire with a precariously positioned can of oil at hand. The rate of burn is what was mistaken.
I think it was a bit foolish of Ciocie to attribute to naivety that which can be better explained by laziness.
Besides this Heretics Court seems more a place for bragging than law (what use do demons have for law?). While it might be some of a bother socially and the seed of feeble assassination attempts, I doubt there would be serious legal repercussions to a black demon with the power of a key crossing the Heretics Court. It probably would have been less so than the path she actually took which would have encouraged the Court and anyone else who happens to hear (say like Mammon) to interfere before her power was firmly established. But it’s more fun, I suppose.
Despite the horror of your own suggestion matching that of our dear Ebon friend here, I believe I made my case clear on the last page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gugkjEfIB8s
As an ardent plunderer of various vaults, tombs and treasure holds myself I too have tempted by such a glorious prize as the hoard of one of the Demiurges themselves. But I never considered myself either brave enough, or foolish enough, throw away my life on such a doomed venture.
Dear Yabalchoath must either have been monstrously confident or completely blinded by her own pride to try such a thing. And for such foolishness I praise her, for the world is built on the back of great fools!
No need to apologise for all the exposition, it’s all great stuff. Who’d have thought Devil’s had a ruling body? I’d love to know more about its members; interesting to see that Him (was that his name?) is still canon.
Also interesting to see Praman Nand before he became a sphinx. I guess Gold Devils being female is the standard rather than the rule?
When the armor of an Angel in the physical realm is defeated, the essence of the Angel returns to the Void until a new vessel is forged. Angels can only be truly defeated in the Void, and even then they do not truly die, but are reincarnated after a time.
Such long, flowing hair!

True ambition is never satisfied.
It is an infinite Want.

Is Yabalchoath flipping off the slave with his back to us?
I think she’s just playing with her hair. You can see her index finger’s extended as well.
She is twirling her hair between two fingers. She has five fingers for each thumb, so it may look strange to your eyes.
Ah yes, I see now. Though her compulsive rendering of rude hand gestures shall no doubt make it into my own “embellished history.”
“How large is Mommon’s Treasure Fortress?” “Bigger than gods.”
I’d be more mad about the exposition if it didn’t all look gorgeous and unbelievably bad-ass. Note to self: exposition is forgivable when righteous.
Whoa, Praman was so small. I hope this means we’re gonna find out how he became possessed soon.
Also, Praman was pretty attractive before he turned into a giant sphinx. Damn.
Just started reading this, God damn its so good.
Cio’s husband was quite the looker back then.

There is no such thing as overindulging on backstory.
There is, but when the backstory is interesting enough it is no longer backstory. It becomes only story.
So Preem Nand was not always a quadrupedal bloke. The plot thickens.
The mask remains the same, but the form behind it changes. We have seen this several times.
No need to apologise for all the exposition, it’s all great stuff. Who’d have thought Devil’s had a ruling body? I’d love to know more about its members; interesting to see that Him (was that his name?) is still canon.

You are a terrible liar. Your love of backstory has been noted and reported to the proper authorities.
I love the backstory. She’s such an interesting character.
How interesting! Her Husband appears to be a gilded devil, is he still one now? The mask certainly fits…
Backstory is what we crave with such a rich mythos, fill it in as you see fit. Bow to nothing but your muse, we shall follow
I still wanna know the details of her re-naming. She ticked SOMEONE off.
WOO! SARGATANAS REPRESENT! ‘God’s Demon’ was an awesome damn book!
“I’m goin ta Hell! Who’s comin’ with me?”
In the panel showing the Heretic’s Court, is that Sargatanas on the top right?
How might Cio react to being told her old self was adorable?
AL-YIS-UN, King of Kings, gets a chair (and a warm blanket).
The rest sit on the floor.
Well, she’s also the one who was most recently almost-dead-from-blood-loss.
–and she did call this inquest into session.
What makes a throne a throne?
“What makes a throne a throne?”
The Royalty of the posterior it supports, of course.
Wait a second! I thought I read somewhere that 81 (not a typo) White Chain died breaking up some kind of organ-smuggling ring?
armed only with a washing pole, yes.
When the armor of an Angel in the physical realm is defeated, the essence of the Angel returns to the Void until a new vessel is forged. Angels can only be truly defeated in the Void, and even then they do not truly die, but are reincarnated after a time.
Good lord Abby, I fear how you can make her EVEN sexier with the next page!
