To connect with an Aeon, speak the language of law and order. To connect with a Devil, speak the language of chaos and destruction. They are about to make quite the connection.
“The gibbs” as it is known in the wider multiverse is the ultimate way of informing someone ‘dun goofed’ without lasting harm. it is simple. it is effective. And it is a warning, to never, ever, do that again.
So this is part of what is implied by “complete mastery over space-time”…
If this is the sort of thing an amateur can pull with a Key of Kings, albeit with some guidance, then Preem Jagganoth has grown all the more fearsome. I wonder how, in the name of all the gods living and dead, will the Rising King best the Red God? She will have to do it, by word of supposedly infallible prophecy; yet there is a vast divide between seeing a such a task done in the stars and actually cutting and stabbing and ripping into the pulsating vital organs of an immortal, teleporting colossus that can boil blood and shatter bone by fucking walking, until the greatest warrior creation has ever known is but a corpse underfoot.
Mastering space-time on her own sounds like a good start. Though I do hope that the Rising King doesn’t kill Suuz in the process. The heist crew will probably need her, ignoring this bit self-punishing idiocy.
As for how to beat Jagganoth, I think back to the Red-Eyed King. At best, the gods and saints of justice could only keep him trapped in a dark and cruel prison for the rest of eternity. Unless you can find some way to circumvent the rules of the multiverse and destroy the indestructible, a similar fate might be in store for God’s Monster.
Chaironimo! Need a hand? Have a seat! Seat you next fall! Table for one? Seat you later, that’s fall folks! (I’ve got to hand it to myself on this one) Cherish this moment!
And thus (probably) falls the second demon of the Rising King’s 6 Billion demons death tally.
Death by teleporting push/bitch slap from behind, with being chewed on by mimics if they survive the first strike.
One can only hope Suuz’s death reminds the other demon’s that the Rising King is not one to be fucked with, not that anything will stop Oscar from being a fool and going through with his inevitable betrayal.
Alright, I have to say this. Allison’s armor makes zero sense. I mean, soldiers walk around with kevlar vests and helmets as their only armor because that’s where all the, how did Oscar put it, “jibbly bits” are. Yet Allison’s armor covers everywhere but her heart, lungs, and brain, all the stuff that’s essential for living. You can survive minus an arm or leg.
Looks cool and I know that’s really all that matters in comic land. I just had to get that off my chest. Whew.
Beyond that, really interested to see where this goes. Incubus is obviously going to double-cross Allison at some point so . . . hopefully she’ll have learned to use her power by herself by that point.
I will direct you to the ancient Hellenic warriors, who lived in an age when a serious wound to the body was most likely to be fatal either immediately or later through disease, while severe injury to the limbs was more survivable (albeit amputation might be needed).
Their armor included helms as well as guards for the forearm, upper arm, and lower legs, but they relied upon body shields to protect their “jibbly bits.” If we imagine that Allison was supposed to be wearing a helm and carrying a body shield as part of a pike formation, her armor is almost fine.
Additionally, in later years, there was armor made in which the torso was covered in cheaper, smaller plates, usually sandwiched (brig) or attached to each other (laminae) while heavier armor was worn on the stiffer limbs.
Still later, the torso and head were heavily armored, usually with proofed (has taken a shot and held) plate while the limbs had almost no armor…Definitely not what Allison is wearing here!
The possibilities exist that Allison’s armor is either a partial set (missing the chest piece and helm), or a deliberate partial set meant to be worn with a tower shield (and missing a helm), in addition to the possibility that the armorer was an idiot.
Hell, for all we know, it’s a magical partial-cuirass armor enchanted with Torso and Head Protection +10.
What I want to know is what kind of an optimist wears white onto a battlefield? Girl, you KNOW that’s going to stain immediately…
Depends on what you are fighting. If it’s animals, then armouring your extremities makes sense since that’s what they bite. It’s awkward to bite a chest… However in that case, some throat protection is indicated.
That depends if you expect any armor to be able to block any sort of serious strike against her. I do not she is strong enough to wear armor that can resist the blows of serious enemies. This armor, however, could protect her limbs from debris, sharp edges, the smaller cuts of minions and more mundane risks while being loose enough to dodge. Not the best explanation I know, but it still makes a bit of sense.
That lightning is white, not pink, and she seems to be having the same thought as Incubus, at the same time. She has reflexively teleported before. Is this one all her?
I don’t think it’s *all* her. I think Incubus is guiding her just a little, but she doesn’t need very much help on this one – She knows What she wants, Incubus is just helping her on the How to go about it.
Calling it: Allison will grab golden bitch and swap places with her via portal, leaving *her* to fall into the sea of chair-mimics and Allison to continue on the quest…
Would Allison leave her to die, then? Or save her because the team might still need her, and leave her indebted to Allison?

Look how they climb above chair and chest
Walking the line into the Dragons Nest
The thread goes snap, the acrobats trap,
what do you think will come of that?
It’s quite likely momentum is conserved through the portal, (as all aficionados of cake understand) so Suuz is about to get a taste of her own medicine. Hope she likes the taste of Mimic.
12357503 Unwilling Sacrifice Dies Horribly, Repeatedly
We all scream for blood, or whatever it is that devils have. But, they are probably going to continue to need an acrobat, so the smartest thing would probably be to intimidate the absolute shit out of Suuz without killing them, to put them in their place, but continue to use them. But, since this is Allison ‘Terrible Decisions’ Ruth, there’s not much hope for that.
Uther "Chaos Angel," Least Of Jagganoth's Foreservants
While it was a mistake to trust a Gold Devil in the first place, the greater folly was Suuz thinking themselves greater than the human who drank Vladok (now Princess Mamoru Moonshine Jagermeister Jack Jack Daniels Timothy Tim Bill Freddy Mercury Blueberry Luna, Esquire) under the table. Neither mistake will be made again.
Well, time to change her name to Kill Five Billion, Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Million, Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Thousand, Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Demons
Melf’s treatise on “conservation of kinetic energy through portals” drones on at length about the fatal effects of noogies given through portals while falling, flying, or otherwise in motion.
Done fucked up. 2/6,000,000,000.
Your timing is what we (in the Peanut Gallery) call “awesome”.
I immediately regret my decision.
Brutal, Savage, Rekt !!!
Nippy. Kind. Langur.
Oh this is going to be good. 😀
To connect with an Aeon, speak the language of law and order. To connect with a Devil, speak the language of chaos and destruction. They are about to make quite the connection.
I wonder if Allison is simply going to push her over the ledge via teleport, or if it will be something nastier.
That DEAD bitch.
ctharsis!
Iä! Iä! Ctharsis fhtagn!
Opening a portal is no small feat. It requires much time and the talent to figure it out.
Or you could cheat and have someone teach you how to do it, I suppose.
Or do as you have done before and ride the lightning.
It is written, that Aesma Ten Yondam purchased such training from Un-Kaon, with stolen sweets.
I expect it will cost dear Allison much more dearly.
Unless Incubus shares Un-Kaon’s weakness for pilfered candy…
As the song of the Strangebirds has it:
Rip, to those that die.
Wherein “Oh, snap!” becometh “OH. SNAP. (shit)”…

A taut thread when cut may easily whip back and injure its holder.
2/6000000000?
It she cutting apart spacetime just to Gibbsmack someone?
It’s a two for one deal. She’ll just keep coming through the portal. Gets herself up on the ledge, and smacks Suuz at the same time.
“The gibbs” as it is known in the wider multiverse is the ultimate way of informing someone ‘dun goofed’ without lasting harm. it is simple. it is effective. And it is a warning, to never, ever, do that again.
Yeah, I think Alice plans the end up standing where Suuz is now, so there will be little risk of her doing anything again.
Gibbs would dearly love to learn that trick
Suuz ?
Souup?
So this is part of what is implied by “complete mastery over space-time”…

Ignorance is a virtue. In her naivety, no task is impossible. The Treasure-Fortress of Yre is an unassailable vault, and Allison was told this.
But it is not true, because she did not believe it.
As for how to beat Jagganoth, I think back to the Red-Eyed King. At best, the gods and saints of justice could only keep him trapped in a dark and cruel prison for the rest of eternity. Unless you can find some way to circumvent the rules of the multiverse and destroy the indestructible, a similar fate might be in store for God’s Monster.
Never divide the party, never
Elsewise, the party will see fit to divide YOU.

I should’ve seen desk coming XD
Bankrupt the gods, and arbitrage their thrones.
Suuz obviously needs a hand with that rope.
“…And it was at this moment, that Suuz knew she had fucked up”
Yea, exactly
Mess with someone with a KEY OF KINGS in their pretty little head, you’ll end up with a FIST OF KINGS embedded in your own skull.

There is, in fact, some historical precedent.

That mask is about to get a few extra cracks

SHE CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL
So when you said you’d be drawing a lot fewer characters in the coming pages, that was because Allison is going to kill them all, right?
The hand of the king will not be turned down
Nyuk nyuk oh fuck.
Incubus’s opinion and advice are normally a little questionable, but here he and Allison have a clear and justified meeting of the minds.
In which AlYisun smacks a bitch.
1) THAT BITCH
2) OOOOOOH SHIT SOOOOOOOOON
Err, why do all that pesky climbing and stealth thing and stuff when she could have just teleported around in the first place?
And there it was; the masquerade.
Calling it: Allison will grab golden bitch and swap places with her via portal, leaving *her* to fall into the sea of chair-mimics and Allison to continue on the quest…
Would Allison leave her to die, then? Or save her because the team might still need her, and leave her indebted to Allison?

How come Princess isn’t doing her job?
Mistakes were made.
It’s quite likely momentum is conserved through the portal, (as all aficionados of cake understand) so Suuz is about to get a taste of her own medicine. Hope she likes the taste of Mimic.
Oh, so that’s what I should have done that one time in Yre.
We all scream for blood, or whatever it is that devils have. But, they are probably going to continue to need an acrobat, so the smartest thing would probably be to intimidate the absolute shit out of Suuz without killing them, to put them in their place, but continue to use them.

Is this, how you say, a homestuck?
I think we’re in for a treat of some body swap technique.
Suuz has the face of a woman who’s just shit her pants.
I thought the Gold masked were the clever ones.
Behold, a Royal Cut.
Pardon my human, but dat bitch dead.
When life gives you lemons, rip a hole through space and time and choke a bitch.
Aesma’s tits, continued. And at this point they appear to be lactating a veritable fountain of righteous vengeance.

While it was a mistake to trust a Gold Devil in the first place, the greater folly was Suuz thinking themselves greater than the human who drank Vladok (now Princess Mamoru Moonshine Jagermeister Jack Jack Daniels Timothy Tim Bill Freddy Mercury Blueberry Luna, Esquire) under the table. Neither mistake will be made again.
Well, that answers my question about which one is the biggest pain to plan and draw for ….
This one requires a situation update immediately.
Aesma’s tits, indeed, part two.
Except this time they are lactating a veritable fountain of righteous vengeance.
Suuz has a wicked sense of humor, and deserves a pat on the back.
Well, time to change her name to Kill Five Billion, Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Million, Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Thousand, Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Demons
