WHEEL SMASHING LORD 2-43 to 2-44
Chapter: 2
“[…]descended there an angel with a silver sword. An the angel said ‘Come and see,’ and I saw. There upon the great hill of rot, the great and terrible beasts of the earth had gathered, and a hundred thousand times a thousand strong men, girded for war, with chariot and horse and war shade. The ground had cracked and the bowels of the land had split and all manner of ancient things from the cold and old world had crawled from the ash and were making havoc upon the land. There was a sound so terrible it could not be withstood except by those who had, through manner of hardship or war, been exposed to the noise of innumerable dying animals.”
– Vision of Extemporary Monk Lumuu (circa SC 245)
this is technically not page-relevent, but another comment here got me thinking: how rare is the art, really? I don’t remember anyone besides cio, mattom and judis using it, so it most be a very rare skill, but how rare? I’ll be frank with you, I haven’t delved very deeply into this universe’s lore(I have so much to do), but I am curious.
the fact that Mammon and Mottom empire didn’t fall apart is cute in a way. Greed and Intemperance need no demiurge to oversee from above.

The day will come, sure as the ever setting sun All of those that self-impose will find themselves so indisposed,”

Damn, Alison got a tiddy upgrade from drinking with her auntie and best friend. lol
Allison really has blossomed into The Ideal Butch. She should add that to her truename.
KSBD is one of my favorite things about being a lesbian
This is the part where we all forget how Zaid has been described as a creep and said some weirdo shit to Allison when she was about to have sex with him, for her first time. Surely we’ve missed nothing from his experiences after leaving Earth, and there’s no reason he was the original heir, and there’s no way he’s harbouring any jealousy, and he definitely has no plans to betray anyone for any reason… right?
The Wheel Smashing Lord asks not if the wheel wishes to be smashed, she only smashes.
