The title is “Kill Six Billion Demons”, not “Kill Six Billion Devils”. The definition of “Demon” can naturally be quite broad. So yes, the mimic counts.
Monsters are mindless agent of hunger, a primal greed present in all living creatures. They lack the intelligence and the foresight to understand evil.
Demons know the consequences of their ambition, the casualties cause by the path to power they thread without remorse. They look at the mountain of corpses under their feet and judge them unworthy of existing.
I don’t know which is worse: The fact their team is short some considerable talent now or that Allison now knows she could have just portaled across the ceiling and avoided the whole mess in the first place.
Incorrect. That demon was killed by the mimics. And even if you want to argue that the action chain that caused it was started with the push, then the push was caused by the betrayal by cutting the cable. So in that case, she killed herself.
You would attempt to dethrone the queen ascendant with this line of reasoning? It is designed to allow serfs to escape responsibility for what passes for their choices. The royal will rejects such rationalizations and seizes the truth: All chains of causality begin and end with the Sovereign.
Backup egress? They have the Bearer of the Key of Kings. And IIRC she’s previously teleported a flying ship — she can certainly get them out of there if needed.
So is that 2 or 3 of six billion? Did the mimic count?

The zombies in the original didn’t count, only the actual demon in the final chapter.

No, the mimic was not a demon.
Abaddon, any tie-breaking ruling?
It’s easy to do things in rage.
It’s harder to live with them in peace.
Though I bet it’s WAY easier to do them in godly Incubus rage!
A man once said that killing is something that gets easier with practice. I wish I could say he was wrong.
Woah. Did not see that coming.
Scratch one.

revenge is best served with mimics
One would think a Gilded Devil would not die to such lowly creatures. One would be wrong.
Well Xand’s looking mighty pleased with that.
Truly, Xand appreciates the colorful artistry on display. A painterly connoisseur is the devil Xand!

YISUN killed her by creating the Wheel.

those eyes in the first panel of four…
A little bit of her passenger leaking though perhaps?
eyes flash
true wrath
don’t pass
bye Suuz i hoped you’d be in one more fight but it was not to be
Realisation is the first step towards acceptance, which, in the end, leads to propagation. Reach Heaven through Violence.
Now now, you can’t be losing your lunch every time a traitor gets devoured by mimics. It’s unbecoming of Royalty.
Royalty is not a destination, it is a continuous cutting motion.
It occurs to me a little belatedly that getting back across this room will be a bit tricky without the wires. Hopefully they have a backup egress…
Retracing their steps would be dull for both artist and audience. There will be another way out. I have foreseen it.
Backup egress? They have the Bearer of the Key of Kings. And IIRC she’s previously teleported a flying ship — she can certainly get them out of there if needed.
Really, there’s nothing more gutless than a suicide. You can’t really call “attempted to kill Royalty” anything else.
Sic semper proditor.
Now you’re thinking with portals, Allison!
(also minor continuity glitch: the cut wire seems to have disappeared from the right column)
Xand seems happy about this. Just looking down there…smiling.
Seems like Incubus is possibly being a little too helpful.
OM NOM NOM NOM!
Also the laughter of thirsting gods.
I’m not sure what the onomatopoeia for that is.
Om nom nom being cackled by a thousand shrieking voices at once, not all with tongues of flesh.
Try to avoid it, it’s creepy as hell.
rest in stomach acid
HAVE A SEAT
I must say, the faces in panels 6-9 are exquisite! Particularly fond on panel 9.
*cookie monster sounds*
So that’s two out of six billion… To be fair Suuz had it coming. They did start it.
