WHEEL SMASHING LORD 1-23 to 1-24
Chapter: 1
THE DEATH CUT
YISUN held audience one in their fifth anti-spiral clockwise palace. White faced Pravi, who was a wise disciple, said:
“Lord, bestow upon us the armor that will resist ending. The days grow short and the nights cold. The quavering strands of our life grow thin and worn in these final days since we have come to know death. I bid thee Lord make us to know a companion of this feeling.”
And YISUN smiled in the fifth way and said in reply:
“As the stone is in the fruit, your death is already in you. There is no armor that will resist the contents of your own heart. You were cut down the moment you existed.”

Maybe she didn’t die after all?
I present to you: Shroedinger´s main character.
Ah, so those were the famous PENULTIMATE words back than. Very clever.
To be more serious, I just adore the philosophical intensity of these pages.
Interesting. If Allison can simply knit herself back together after a fatal wound such as this (I mean, we don’t know for sure that’s what’s happening in the last panel, but I have a hunch) then what’s to stop Jagganoth from doing the same? Even the ultimate weapon may not work. Seems like Allison had better take her Master’s teachings to heart.
Allison simply wishes to live more than Maya wants her to die, so she lives.
I’ve had worse, mind didn’t walk it off. But I survived…for some fashion of survival. Would like to do it it again. That is why I am not like the Cape Buffalo. But some days, existence is a drag man.
But the stone is also a seed representing new life
Wow. Just wow, I can’t even. How dare you kill off the main female protagonist right now, way to spit in your audience’s collective face. I am 1000% certain that now Zaid will come in and defeat Jagganoth without breaking a sweat, because he’s a maaaan.
I will be immediately dropping this comic without waiting for a possible resolution. Shame on you.

ok
Government is inevitable and is maintained through violence and the threat of it. Those who wield it needn’t be brutal or cruel, simply willing to use it. Though in the fight to become the government, the brutal and cruel are usually willing to resort to violence first, giving them an edge.
Machiavelli and his “Oh? So you’re a cool ruler? Looking out for the people? Bring prosperity to everyone? Your rivals are not cool dudes? Are you willing to do everything to keep them out of power? If not, then ever evil they visit upon the people is on your head. Can you maintain your moral nature towards the people while also being an absolute villain towards their enemies?”
She just use violence in order to impose her views against violence, thus it is clear that the world rewards violence, thus Alison needs a weapon that will allow her out violence other violence
Ah. Our heroine is about to learn the greatest defense against violence!
Having the ones on top jump and the one below on whose shoulders everyone is standing duck!
To show you the power of Flex Tape i cut this Alison in half!!
does this hurt the alison?
Is this a game-of-thrones reference?
Ehh…. No.
The tools of oppresion might be the same as the ones of liberation, yes, but they are still tools. Amoral.
A hammer can build a home or bash a skull.
Fire can boil soup for the hungry or burn them to death.
It is who wields a tool what matters. The morals they belive. The contents of their character. The balance of their sould. The kind of day they’re having…and how they choose to deal with what they cannot control.
For a peaceful man who would never harm can hold a blade that can kill the world and never do so, and a devious man can hold pure love, and harm with it.
It’s we, the wielders of tools who matter. We can choose to let the world be enslaved by the brutal and the cruel in the name of pacifism. We can choose to be such people ourselves. We can choose to stop them, and then not do so.
How do we know how will we truly act when the time comes? We don’t. I don’t know, and you master have admitted yourself you don’t know either. What matters is that we strive for virtue, and that can only be done trough action.
And while the world is in peril, while the weak suffer and the brutal and cruel rule, we are NOT acting. That needs to change.
For the past is gone, the future is a stake, and the moment to act is NOW.
So, give me a damm weapon.

Imagine building all these statues only for some randos to slice rows of it in half
Seriously. Maya has done a lot of collateral property damage across this series. Cutting Mottom’s palace in half, destroying Mana’s forge, slicing the tops off of all of those dead angels/gods (just for a demonstration!), and now this. She’s a walking category 5 hurricane.
In the KSBD universe, acts of gods (or former gods) probably aren’t covered by insurance, so that temple area is screwed.
chop
If I had a nickel for every webcomic that kills off their main protagonist hundreds of pages in, I’d have three nickels.
(those being KSBD, Homestuck, and EnnuiGo)
Maybe.
I think I’m less impressed that Allison turned around after being cut in half than that she dared to try it.
Same, I thought Abbadon had made an error in blocking the scene at first, but no- Allison just turned her whole two halves around to face Maya……
Why’d it take me until now to realize that Gog-agog was the one with the right ideology?
A true master of the sword words cut deep.
THE END
And I say; pity the janitor, who’s work is never done. Thanks, Maya.
Absolute violence beats wishful thinking.
So yes, we are doomed. Unless we become more violent.
Who is the person able to solve his problem with violence, but choosing not to? Surely only a madman would…
