Yes, o King. Drink of the font of Mammon’s power. Consume, and be consumed. Cut all ties to those who make you weak, and summon forth crazed sycophants to watch over your holdings.
Become an Emperor, vast and terrible, over a realm that fears to so much as speak your name.
It will make your death easier for your priests to smooth over, when it comes.
As a simple soldier, I am ill-equipped to provide a well informed opinion on the topic, and hope you can help me, friend Ulurhad.
Why in any black name would anyone desire the powers of kingship and rule? Either you don’t desire it, and you end up like Mother Om, withering away behind a facade you don’t wish to carry, or you end up like Allison Ruth here, consumed and drunk on power. In both situations, you lose freedom, which I am given to understand is the first thing all living beings desire.
Incidentally, do you happen to peddle freedom? Not asking for any pertinent reason, I just thought it would be fortuitous of you to theoretically show up and sell freedom to Allison Ruth.
There is a truth we have glimpsed, as yet, only in he who granted the Rising King her newfound… audacity. Consider the Sword King of the Middle Army, whose fellow Demiurges look upon him with mockery and pity. For the Army is not his; its master abandoned her throne, and wanders the worlds a desolate beggar.
One seeks to be king. And one seeks Royalty- the ultimate expression of freedom.
The first can be found wherever power is exerted over others. The second, well, it is a rare and much desired good.
Aye, the first virtue as well. It is impossible to obtain Sovereignty without realizing that this is axiomatic, at least to my understanding.
The flipside of this is that it is important to remember and understand that there are other truths and other virtues completely separate from violence and power in order to be a Functioning Person.
There are no truths, and there are no virtues but violence.
So we overcome truth and build something better than it, build a paradise from our honeyed lies and promises.
Do it Allison.. Become who you were always meant to be. Kill the demon bitch. Kill your fly-by-night-boyfriend. Kill the weakness within yourself. Slay Mammon, Om, and anyone who could ever contest you.. Become a True Monarch.

This is the moment for AL-YS-UN to shed the pitiful “gift” that Incubus has bestowed upon her, or perhaps for the great demoness once known as Yabalchaoth to shed the azure lie and climb back up to her true GLORY.
Or perhaps they are both dead. Explosions can be ever so fickle.
All this sudden talk of taking Mammon’s key has me wondering what they’re going to do with it if they do in fact snatch it from his brow.
Cio’s had it before… it didn’t end well. But, empowering Allison’s allies with them would keep them relevant as they fall further and further down the power curve in comparison to the rising monarch.
Hmm. Would eating Mammon’s key actually do anything to power her up? She has the MASTER KEY, after all. All other keys are just a fragment of that one power, so wouldn’t taking more keys just be redundant and accomplish nothing?
Surprised no one has linked Punished Allison yet here. It’s the wrong side of her face to be missing an eye, but there’s potential for this to be a source for her injuries anyway. We’ll see, I suppose.
AHH, SEE! ONE THAT IS TOO BUSY RUNNING THEIR MOUTH DOES NOT TAKE NOTE OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT! IT MATTERS NOT WHO YOU ARE: SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IS KEY TO SURVIVAL!
Well, it’s not often I can actually predict this crazy plot, but last comic I mentioned both Cio figuring out Allison is controlled and guessed the green bugs were going to become important. Now, back to being a poor predictor…
I know the Demo-Demon had a lot of explosives but, it seems somewhat unlikely that any of them would have made it all the way through the maze? Unless they were playing soccer with it?
Hmm… Y’all might recollect that Princess Jack Moonshine picked up some of them explosives. When she went and rage-upgraded you can see ‘splosives under her, um, hooves. Now, even so, I agree with ya that it’s not terribly likely that a dynamite cluster got kicked all the way into that corridor. But I say we don’t worry too much about stuff like that, or how many fireflies 1-11 had in his jar vs how many were squished along the way… yet there are enough still left to swarm all over Cio (last page) and find themselves some dynamite to light. It would just be a shame to let all that previous plot-tool work go to waste, wouldn’t it? Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story đ

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing blog that understand the value. Im glad to have found this post as its such an interesting one! I am always on the lookout for quality posts and articles so i suppose im lucky to have found this! I hope you will be adding more in the future…
Behold, the Great Enemy called ‘I’ has revealed itself! All becomes ash!
Kyrie, kyrie allison
I see what you did there. Nicely done đ
Truly Allison must realise the truth that the tower is the wheel, that the “I” is the “0”
Panel 9: Cio’s new blue mask gets overgrown, overwhelmed and framed by the flesh of her devil flesh. It doesn’t want to end this way, so diminished.
But it remembers.
It used to be greater.
Allison ded. The End!
And no one could order her around!
Yes, corpses are truly free.
That is, unless a necromancer comes along…
Probably not. Cio’s body will have shielded her from the worst of the blast.
Cio ded.
And perhaps Cio’s cue for a new form?

One seeks to be king. And one seeks Royalty- the ultimate expression of freedom.
The first can be found wherever power is exerted over others. The second, well, it is a rare and much desired good.
I am told it can be found in Samura.
The second option does not feel bad. Moreover, only oblivion provides true and complete freedom.
Death is a truth most uninteresting.
Thus follows: freedom is uninteresting.
Arrogance is quite the equalizer.
A hint to the True/{FALSE} nature of the world, for I am YISUN and YISUN is WE.
Right. Well this is a fuck-up then. You get that.
Violence I hold, is the first truth.
Perhaps the only Truth, for YISUN is a consummate liar.
Aye, the first virtue as well. It is impossible to obtain Sovereignty without realizing that this is axiomatic, at least to my understanding.
The flipside of this is that it is important to remember and understand that there are other truths and other virtues completely separate from violence and power in order to be a Functioning Person.

Violence is a crude tool for idiots. The first virtue is ramen.
Well then…
At the very least, she stayed her blade.
For now, at least…
A mighty blast, to fray the borders of reality so.

That got a chuckle.

WELP.
Do it Allison.. Become who you were always meant to be. Kill the demon bitch. Kill your fly-by-night-boyfriend. Kill the weakness within yourself. Slay Mammon, Om, and anyone who could ever contest you.. Become a True Monarch.
You can’t be a King if your kingdom is nothing but ash and tombstones.
And in any case, such a description would never fit Zoss and the OG Demiurges, who were like the Kingest Kings who ever Kinged.
Jagannoth is about to become the King of ash and tombstones. Just wanted to be obnoxious here.
This one begs to disagree, for there is the Void, and as Father UN proves, One can Rule over Nothing. And Yea, even still He wielded Infinite Art.
One and Zero Make One! IA! IA!
Nay, the easiest to Rule over are the Dead.
We see the Ruler of the Dead flee, though, bloodied and bruised. To Rule is to Die. The Dead do not Rule themselves.
Ozymandias begs to differ: https://amechanicalart.blogspot.ca/2015/03/ozymandias-replies.html
True Royalty need only ever kill itself. The path to kingship lies through regicide.
BREAKING NEWS!
Two argumentative, idiot children waste time arguing and get blown to kingdom come.
Film at 11!
Boom.
The situation really blew up, eh?
You could say Allison exploded in anger.
Greed itself defends the dragon.
If only because It wishes Its possessions to be undamaged
Fool.
Who put that sword in your hands and told you to stop being so helpless?
PUNISHED ALISON HERE WE GO!
Cue “Man Who Sold The World”.
I’m nuuuuuucleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar, I’m wiiiiiiiiiiiiild
Boom goes the dynamite.
Haha. I get it. Fireflies.
I really really really hope this causes our two love birds to get separated. I donât want to see them come to blows
I’m still holding out for a Yabalchoath vs. Icuballison showdown.
It is in strife that we arise to greatness.
This is the moment for AL-YS-UN to shed the pitiful “gift” that Incubus has bestowed upon her, or perhaps for the great demoness once known as Yabalchaoth to shed the azure lie and climb back up to her true GLORY.
Or perhaps they are both dead. Explosions can be ever so fickle.
And the chains bind her.
BLOODLUST CONSUMES ALL
Not a cube(ik) nor carnival goer
Here, I’d avoid the gold berg for Heath.
In any case, small details have effects
Technically, now is when she’s dealing with her devil, but OK.
This is why I fear power. I honestly fear the madness of greed and pride within me. I know it lurks there… deep inside.
to be honest, i just want to know if the cat master is safe
He is both safe and not safe until we see him again.
yeah, and the red/blue combo. i hope all three survive.
I just want to know if the cat is safe.
A cat is never dead unless you see its body! IA! IA! The body is out of sight, and the thread remains Uncut!
Blease,,,, give the gfs a break,, some chocolates,,, a bit of happiness,,,,,, Iâm begg
What WAS the goal In Entering Yse ?

IA! IA!
It sort of looks like Cio’s growing more horns around her leystone. Worrying…
The final explosion was an exclamation mark to everything that had lead to this point…
No, Allison. Don’t you understand?
“But mark me well Allison, when I say: whether tha’ll have me or not, I’m for thee.
I’m for thee.”
All this sudden talk of taking Mammon’s key has me wondering what they’re going to do with it if they do in fact snatch it from his brow.
Cio’s had it before… it didn’t end well. But, empowering Allison’s allies with them would keep them relevant as they fall further and further down the power curve in comparison to the rising monarch.
Rook takes King. Checkmate.
Many powerful beings seem aloof, above reproach.
Many Enemies they slay with swords, keys and sorcery.
But always remember:
Truly, being blown to pieces by an overlooked detail is the great equalizer.
There was, perhaps, a better time for this conversation.
Would you ever consider post character reference sheets for potential cosplayers? I wanna be a priest of the count!
They do seem to be quite chaotic in their dress, it seems hard to go wrong.
I wouldnât suggest leather breeches, though.
Only a blithering idiot would want to be king.
Thankfully Alison is the blitheringest idiot to ever set foot on the wheel. Pity her!
Hmm. Would eating Mammon’s key actually do anything to power her up? She has the MASTER KEY, after all. All other keys are just a fragment of that one power, so wouldn’t taking more keys just be redundant and accomplish nothing?
Surprised no one has linked Punished Allison yet here. It’s the wrong side of her face to be missing an eye, but there’s potential for this to be a source for her injuries anyway. We’ll see, I suppose.
Now all became clear to me, I thank for the necessary information.
men girl sex
Man, if Allison becomes corrupt her vice will so be self-pity.
Careful Allison! Don’t fall into a borderline personality disorder.
Dynamite orders the king around.
Yeppers. Dynamite is without thought. It doesn’t plan. It has no loves nor hates. No hopes. No regrets. It just IS.
Divinity.
Oh blast it all.
That explosive temper was sure to get her into trouble.
Her burning desire to destroy Mammon was bound to be her undoing.
..I’m not sorry.
AHH, SEE! ONE THAT IS TOO BUSY RUNNING THEIR MOUTH DOES NOT TAKE NOTE OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT! IT MATTERS NOT WHO YOU ARE: SITUATIONAL AWARENESS IS KEY TO SURVIVAL!
Let there be light.
Well, it’s not often I can actually predict this crazy plot, but last comic I mentioned both Cio figuring out Allison is controlled and guessed the green bugs were going to become important. Now, back to being a poor predictor…
not a good moment to your bitch side shows up, Alice-Un.
I know the Demo-Demon had a lot of explosives but, it seems somewhat unlikely that any of them would have made it all the way through the maze? Unless they were playing soccer with it?

A bunch of people running around in narrow hallways could indeed unknowingly kick and bandy the explosives about.
What defeats a rising king, incandescent in her rage and power?
A dead demon with a dynamite stick!

Technically, you’d be a queen, but nobody can point that out when you’re omniscient.
Dammit Allison, stop blowing holes in my ship!
Wow, looks great, especially the conclusion.
