Bro really trying to spin his wife leaving him as a flex.
He’s still salty she broke his mewing streak.
Having read this comic over about a month, the culture shock of going from 2013 all the way up to mewing and rizz has been immense this last few chapters.
how many times did he practice that sick burn in the mirror before he could say it without crying
Not enough, it seems.
True. He actually looks like he’s tearing up in the secondt-to-last panel!
Bro is trying as hard as he can to keep it in
You ever been so unable to admit that your wife (deservedly) leaving you actually hurts that you sell out all of reality to the universe-destroying demigod?
There is nothing demi about THAT god.
Anyway, they gave Princess and the square angel back. I wonder what he will tell the Scooby gang about what the angels are doing (we did not see *that* lot for a while).
So there are two groups still to reappear: Charon, Oscar and the cat guy, and the Angels (Metatron, Michael and the whole angelic army). Humm , a third group that is missing is the Heretic Court.
Devils are VERY in touch with their feelings. Just like the really psycho dictators and serial killers or rapists.
I do like that our heroine simply didn’t respond to all the bluster that followed her interruption.
True. In the line-art preview, he looked furious, I thought Allison had said something that triggered him. With colouring he just looks sad. Which he always was.
Wait, what line art?
Abaddon posts line-art page previews for subscribers on his Patreon.
Fuck me, never knew that!
Cool words for someone within maybe sword distance
And in Nukoku’s sight range.
She’s probably in the strongest incarnation she’s ever been in, outside of having a piece of the Key.
How do you figure? The only time we’ve seen her do anything is to completely fail at harming Allison when they were fighting over the worm. She might be stronger than she was, but I don’t think we have any way of knowing.
Well, she is an Ivory Devil, which seems to juxtapose with Ebony Devils. She also only has one name, so that would seem to support that she is comparable to an Ebony Devil.
I thought this was a rare incarnation of a white devil, the weakest kind. White devils are thought to be incapable of speech, and, in my opinion, have imagery suggesting a chrysalis. NuKoku’s premature metamorphosis marks her as an exceptional white devil, the only one to be known to speak. This suggests that she might be an exceptional version of any color she may yet eventually become.
This next bit is my speculation, but I feel I have grounds.
Nukoku’s premature peeling is reminiscent of someone peeling a chrysalis open before it is ready. A crime against nature, the results being something weakened and malformed. The singular eye and thin anatomy, be scrambled thoughts and aversion to cold to me all suggest her delicate, primi-like state.
It was trauma unleashed that caused her to break out before she was fully baked.
An additional appreciation to the artistic touch, it seems clear to me that the shards of Cio’s mask were being injected into her still growing body within the Chrysalis as a means to nourish it / suffuse the new body with Cio’s essence. Lots of art going around here, and also, to me, significant “science” hence as to the lore of devils in this universe.
A few typos and missed commas there, my apologies. Dag nab speech-to-text. “Science Hence” is mint to be “Science Hints.”
She has a title card as “Ivory Devil” to make it clear she’s not a Pallid Devil. Also she mostly looks like her Ebon Devil form.
I would guess she has the power of an Ebon Devil but might not know it yet.
I suspect that her previously holding a key-fragment, and being component-amalgam of Angel and King she may have learned how to generate key magic (ROYALTY) independently and be something ‘new’ which in the context of her new name, and the oddities of this cycle may be significantly more dangerous than any system of classification is capable of encompassing.
She is capable of retaining a form with only a fragment (not even visible on her) of her mask. She is indeed an anomaly and the demonic classifications may very well be beyond her at this point
Not harming Alison is no metric for her power, as she was new born and most likely avoiding hurting her.
Not to mention, you know… it’s Allison. Allison, who was cut in half and didn’t die. Allison, who has never once stayed dead. Allison, who walked over a dozen guards at the Celestial Embassy without even pausing.
Considering that Allison has been killed before and simply willed herself into not being dead, I find it conceivable that she also simply willed herself into not being hit.
Of course, I only meant that we haven’t really seen anything she can do yet. The only indication we have is “not capable of cutting Alison” which doesn’t tell us that much.
Crumplepunch who told you that Nukoku is stronger than Yabalchoat? She (Yabal) was SO strong that she managed to steal the key *by herself*. And this is depicted in canon.
The best bit of Nukoku preparing for combat is her (current) life’s experience with death is limited to self-resurrection and extensive Gogacide.
Ten seconds from now:
“Nukoku, people die when they’re killed!”
“Nay! These wretches are slovenly and weak of will! Apply theyselves, cretins!”
They should form demi-urge voltron again
maybe cool words for someone maybe within maybe sword distance
Bro smack talking like he’s on the internet and not in person
Photos taken 5 seconds before the disaster
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
‘at’s why ‘e’s a devil, mortal! It jus’ proves it, ‘at it does. ‘e’s all infernal like, and not terribly sociable and wot-not.
Nice how they all conveniently lined up to be taken out with one Maybe Sword blow. Not a good idea to call Alison’s GF trash.
Yeah, nobody talks about our oshi that way!
Oh yes. Exactly my thoughts.
I would love for Allison being less brutal and manage to turn them around in another way, but I can’t see her taking just one of these preem-pricks out to convince the others.
Nand and 00001 seem to be the most capable fighters in the delegation, but that means leaving the others alive just invites them to ineffectively try to backstab Allison afterwards.
Also, I hazard the guess that there are even worse ringleaders still hiding from view, whom I don’t care about one kash coin. Let’s never reveal them.
Can somebody PLEASE kill this bastard?
Why taunt now? Are they fools? Or just bait?
It was clear they were fools from the moment they became the servants of demiurges, mayhaps even from the moment of their spawning into existence. The only surprise here is that the path of reasoning they used to walk to attain said foolishness is riddled with far more faults and holes than the one we were expecting them to use.
Bravado and saving face. Pretending they’re not terrified of Allison as they give her exactly what she requested. Talking shit to show they’re in charge, really, honest, because they think (probably correctly) that Allison won’t kill them *just* for talking shit.
Precisely for the same reason they took the deal. They are incapable of prioritizing greater issues than their petty internal squabbles, lest in committing more to the greater issue than their fellows, they become vulnerable in the aftermath.
So even facing two demiurges (assuming they don’t know about Gog-Agog and realize it’s three) who genuinely believe they have nothing to lose, they are constitutionally incapable of not posturing in front of each other. Because to not stretch one’s dick out to its fullest extent for measuring would imply weakness, which would earn a knife in the back.
They are all inconsequential fools. The first books would have them as main adversaries (or really had them as such).
But right now, I think even Incubus is relegated to minor bosshood.
Where is HIM and the court that guards HIM? And where is 2-Michael? And Metatron?
Pretty sure that AL YI SUN will have to deal with them right next.
I like Princess’ shoulder eye.
Left shoulder or right?
i hope whoever kicked vigilant gaze broke their foot on him viggo style
It was the Dragon Bank nun. Considering the way she likes to dress she might actually enjoy breaking a toe.
Proper next plot twist – they will strike a deal with Al-Yisun and switch against Incubus. Because this is how business works.
That is, if she doesn’t decide to reach this particular local heaven through violence.
Could be! Because for them to fight the four banger tag team (five if you count Gog) would have to mean almost instant destruction and wouldn’t be very exciting. If our ladies can’t take out this rabble in an eyeblink then they haven’t got a prayer against Jagger.
Big talk for someone whithin cutting distance
Big talk or someone who the sword cannot cut but, due to their inability to control their own fate, will be cut nonetheless
These motherfuckers are acting REAL surly, considering they’re facing down
1. A demiurge master of Ki Rata
2. The greatest swordmaster in the universe
3. The goddam Heir
I don’t think he realises who Nukoko is either.
Yes he does.
I suspect they might be a tad ignorant of at least some of those things.
I doubt that anyone present besides White Chain knows about her Ki Rata skills, though Solomon is lurking around somewhere…
She wrecked Omun Vash’s shit as her _first appearance_ in this comic; the only reason I’m not saying “he should know better” is he demonstrably does not learn, given Alison and White Chain later bonded by wrecking his shit again.
Team of sick designs shows up, throws shit around, blinks in the staring contest, and tries to save face with sour grapes.
Do not mock the Litany of the Broken lightly. Wondrous and horrific things happen when they gather, and the unbroken remain so seldom very long.
Well put.
Takes one to know one, and I have no idea what you’re saying.
I’m very much getting the impression that these fellows are a sacrificial offering on the part of Incubus, getting them out of the way in a way that doesn’t hurt him a single lick. He seems the sort that would have plans to immediately take and field their assets seconds after someone else takes their heads. This is all sorts of “now pull the other one”.
I was thinking they are going to be used to show how far our main character has come by taking someone that used to be intimidating in the past and having them easily thrashed before the big fight.
It’s the bit in every JRPG where previous big bosses show up as mini-bosses or random encounters.
Interesting to me how much Incubus and his actions bring to mind another figure from the mythology of an as-yet-unopened world.
In particular, Loki as he appears in the older tales. A shitkicker, a jokester, fun but fickle, dashing but dangerous. Someone best viewed from afar, if at all.
And for heavens’ sake, don’t trust him for a second.
Naw, Loki’s 100% trustworthy as long as you keep a few rules in mind:
1. Don’t infringe on his freedom, or the freedom of others.
2. Don’t be a hypocrite, and especially don’t act holier-than-thou about it.
3. Don’t be a dwarf.
4. Don’t hurt those he cares about.
5. Don’t expect convention.
Yeah, Loki went to war with the gods because they were hypocrites and they hurt his kids. I rather admire him for that.
I’m curious, what do you mean by point 5, “don’t expect convention”? As in, he won’t approach things in well-known fashions, or he will never appear at Comic Con?

I feel that Number 1 is important for the solution of this conflict. She does not fit into this lot. She cared about Mammon and her people. And she did not seem too happy to be with those other antagonists in the first place.
To me, seeing Auntie Maya dusting herself off is a sign that shit is about to go way down.
Nah, she is just showing contempt.
“We are here to discuss your unconditional surrender.”
Immediately proceed to obey Allison when she politely asks them to do something.
I’m starting to think those guys are bluffing to hide their total lack of spine.
Fiend that you are, you will never achieve even a tenth of Yabalchoath’s glory.
The horny levels of this post are off the charts
I’m no Oedipus! Come on, man!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why the Androsphinx does not worry about Jagganoth getting to him.
Let’s get this time waste of a speed bump out of the way and back to the main plot, please.
It’s very literally part of the same scene (time, location). Just a part you’re evidently not interested in.
Am now hoping, when Jagganoth’s first shot takes out a good part of the assembled fleet, for a chunk of godship to fall out of the sky and squish this guy absolutely (and ignominiously) flat.
Acting real confident for someone challenging the Heir, a Demiurge, and two former Demiurges.
To describe Ciocie Cioelle’s departure as a “slithering” displays the sphinx’s utter disdain for her. A snake, the lowest of the low. He will not regret this disdain, as those who follow the wheel-turning king know only the bliss of their little orders in the midst of pandemonium until they are either obliterated or their lord succeeds.
Wow, what an insight. “To insult a character shows that another character doesn’t care for them much.”
That’s a whole lot of words you used to make the most unbelievably basic observation in this entire thread. I understand that you want to fit in with the crowd of goobers here that are apparently roleplaying as thesauruses given life and the ability to post on the internet, but there isn’t nearly enough completely extraneous verbiage in the universe to make this statement less vacuous.
The Lord of Lake Titicaca needs TP!
I am a bunghole; you are a bunghole too!
I apologize if you wasted time reading my note, friend. I’m not known for getting to the point quickly and without academic lines of logic. Whether you care for my verbiage or not, though, I must say you focused only on the first part of my statement, which may have made you think I didn’t, in fact, have a point at all.
Evidently that was the only part he was interested in addressing. Plus, one line of your verbiage suffices, friend. Bonus point for pretentiously praising what you consider ‘academic lines of logic’ in your own role-play, too. Nice.
You seem to mistake me for one without self-consciousness. My dear friend, I never claimed to praise “academic lines of logic”. It is a flaw, when things so obvious as “his insult shows his disdain” need no such explanation.
In response to your statement that they were only interested in the one point, why, then, did they refer to my whole comment as one without purpose? “Vacuous”, as they referred to it, when in fact I believe I was making a point beyond the initial setup of the statement. I am afraid, though, that I speak too long, and in doing so am only proving your point through the length of my verbiage. Let us depart, then, with you hating me and me not caring, never to see each other again.
I hope the rain takes you before me.
Gee, bud, did you just blow in from unreasonably-angry-about-harmless-comments town?
I hope you understand the irony of your own comment. So much irony, guild ship will be here any many to stake a mining claim.
why are you mad
Can’t agree more, not necessarily about this one guy, but in general the masturbatory element of the role-playing in these comments is utterly cringe-inducing. Can’t wait for ‘Lord Master Darkwings, 434th of His Name’ to make a verbose, unsuccessful attempt at rebuttal. Won’t be here to read it.
Watch your tone, buddy
yeah what the other guy said
They must recall Maya slicing the floating home of their mistress in half by accident while trying to kill an angel that grandpa Vigilant Gaze finished when he want being polite and sneak attacked, right?
Not sure how many people lived to see that—
Also, Vigilent Gaze very publically demolished the very same Angel Maya failed to finish off, and they seem to have handled him quite readily.
Was it these people who handled Vigilant Gaze? Or have they just come into possession of his immobilized armor? I can’t recall.
Poor 10 Vigilant Gaze Rolls Across the Floor.
10 Vigilant Gaze Buffs The Linoleum.
Wasn’t there something said about VG’s technique requiring thousands of years to save up the strength? Maybe he just hasn’t had time to recharge.
