Deals with devils hardly ever go well, but at least self-annihilation is the ending for all who partake in a devil’s kiss. I would dread to consider the end result of a deal with the Black King, Incubus; after all, one tends to get exactly what they ask for.
Well.
Incubus plot is a bit cliched but Alison did take it in an unexpected direction so some kudos I think.
The narrative feels a bit weird but I’m not sure why.
Anyway that’s two of the demigods who’s offered her power in their own ways. I wonder if that will be a theme.
Which one is which?
Oh no. Not a very smart choice i predict. But i do enjoy the corruption of protagonists.
Looks like we all guessed wrong.
Let’s take a moment to think about all the ways this could go badly. A loooooong moment.
Oh hell,
Not sure if this a good awesome or a bad awesome but it’s certainly an interesting turn of events.
Hot damn. I guess I should have seen her reaction coming, but this blew me away.
AL-YIS-UN, do you not know a Faustian Deal when you see it? Did you not learn that they end in nothing but pain?
She sees it but does not fear it. Basically, you teach me what I need to know & if you fuck with me I kill you. When wielding the power of kings, the sharpest blade of want wins. I think Incubus, just bet on a winning horse only time will tell.
This isn’t even the first time she’s hastily struck a deal with an ancient supernatural being without understanding the implications or bothering to read the fine print.
This one’s going to be quite a bit harder to deal with than Vladok, however. Let’s hope he doesn’t fuck her over too hard.
Allison, you fool! You have traded your very soul to become a puppet of the Great Douche! And for what? Ambition!? Everyone knows money is better than ambition! You should’ve become Mammon’s glorious emissary! We could’ve had pool parties, and I could’ve given your feeble human heart the prosthetics it needs to inevitably pump liquid gold!
She SAID it! Ho hee ha!
The Sailor has come a long way, traveling oceans, ground and sky. I believe, she is still just as naive, but, this should be interesting to watch to say the least.
I’d say she’s already kind of a badass. Now she’s just going to be able to ignore her baggage and whatever is holding her back. She won’t hesitate to let her badassitude show.
oh boy
Quite an interesting development, despite our dear ALL-YISUN’s boring predictability of stubborn stupidity.
I like the costumes.
Oh, yes… letting somebody colonise your mind… there’s no way this could go wrong.
When making deals with gods, one must always be very careful.
Methinks our Rising King is not making a wise decision.
all these GOOD DECISIONS are really hyping me up
I foresee no possibility for regret.
Power corrupts?
– question asked to neophytes to three eyes monks of Tenshinhan.
YES! ULTIMATE POWER!
Making deals with the greatest evils can be highly lucrative if you are either clever or determined enough to make it work.
Less like Tuxedo Mask and more like Phantom Ace I suspect.
I’m certain this will have no negative ramifications ever.
A bargain with the devil, nothing good can come out of this for anyone except the devil himself.
From personal experience, Devils are much more reliable than Demiurges.
Exempting Lord Solomon David, of course. But that has its own ramifications.
