The power of a demiurge doesn’t seem to be worth that much nowadays. Alison, Maya, and White Chain being repeatedly mogged by their enemies is very demoralizing, but I hope it’s building to something meaningful. After all, if they only won by doing violence better than the guys whose entire existence is violence, it would be a little bit pointless. At the same time, I have no idea how they can possibly win otherwise.
Maybe I cling too much to victory. Begging for an answer is asking the wrong question. This comic’s themes are really interesting.
I wouldn’t say the power of a Demiurge is being forgotten, the heroes are just facing foes of equal strength. Maya isn’t a Demiurge anymore, just an exceptionally skilled swordsman fighting a Demiurge almost as good as her and blood alchemy. Al-YISUN seems to have largely won most of her battles, it’s just that there’s so many she’s being tired out. Juggernaut Star and Michael are two of the strongest angels in Creation- Michael is second only to Metatron himself, and Juggy Star killed Zoss at the start of the comic. And they’re facing White Chain *at once*. I’d be surprised if she was having an easy time.
Estrogen would probably *start* on the process of fixing her but girl needs a hella lot of therapy too
Juggernaut Star did not kill Zoss, she removed his head – and that seems to have been a minor inconvenience to him. And they didn’t fight, so there is not much evidence of their relative power levels in that encounter.
Of course Juggernaut Star killed Zoss, he himself confirmed he was dead. It’s just that mere death is a minor impediment to Royalty, whose death is circular and eternal.
When we see Michael’s strikes they feel utterly obliterating, like she didn’t bother trying to parry that one and certainly didn’t try to tank it. Jugs is doing most of the work and the sword-hands are just constantly coming at White Chain,, and having Michael darting around just out of reach unloading attacks that are instant death annihilation waves is a seriously bad position to be in.
Also Juggernaut Star has the unhinged Mikasa from Attack on Titan Crazy Eyes going on, I am not sure at all that they will be able to talk no jutsu them down, this seems more like a “to the death” kinda deal.
She’s gonna have some sort of revelation. Why else would we finally be seeing her eyes and face in the armor? We’ve seen closeups without it before, but now her gender is being emphasized. That’s gotta be worth something.
Yeah, definitely. Though I imagine it’ll have very different results, at least physically, than it did for White Chain.
Maybe I’m just overthinking this, but if she can hear the “pulsing of [Allison’s] meat” from across Mottom’s palace, if her senses are that sensitive to biological processes, I imagine actually having a body with such things as a beating heart and a metabolism could be very overstimulating. And being constantly and keenly aware of it all sounds especially uncomfortable for someone who, so far, seems to value cleanliness above most other things.
In other words, even if she comes to accept her own gender identity, I think being more human would be unpleasant for her, at least for the time being. Even if a revelation transforms her, it probably won’t be in the same way as for White Chain.
I guess there was absolutely no tanking or trying to parry that strike from Michael, it’s get out of the way or die when the large bird fellow starts swinging that bigass sword.
I see some anime hair covering up that left eye.
Reveal your blindness to the world! Reveal that you are one eye of action and violence! The silliest, spikiest Gangle Creature!
So, how in the hells did Juggy dodge Mikey’s blazin’ bolt o’ oblivion?!
WC barely avoided the thing, and JS was *right* behind her, arms raised and totally ready to catch it dead center if WC successfully dodged.
Perhaps the refs can punch up a side view cam on the slo-mo replay?
Dunno, maybe 2M’s aim is just *that* bad…
Mmmhhhh, I love that the jealousy is finally boiling over, I don’t know if she’s going to break down or break apart first, but either way, kick that divine cop’s ass White Chain!
My goodness the artistry of finally getting to see Juggernaut’s gorgeous eyes despite the armor still being on. How awesome, what a genuine payoff I didn’t know I needed!
The last time we saw Juggernaut Star in her base form outside her armor, she had mutilated wings. I assume that the angel feathers forged into nails that give Jagganoth his invulnerability come from her. It would definitely fit with her claim of having been “punished for her transgressions” if Metatron or Michael had done that to her and excused it as punishment/discipline.
Now if, for whatever reason, Juggernaut Star dies or switches sides, I wonder what will happen to Jagganoth and his invincibility.
Now, you’re hurting my feelings.
( Directed at Juggernaut Star.)
If I understand Juggernaut Star’s feelings, they’re in agony because of the pointlessness struggle – captured as they are under the Will of Zoss and their endless cycle of Cosmic Resets. No rapture, no redemption, no Ragnarok, no end to the yugas. Just the constant crush of the Wheel – apparently isolated from YISUN.
Worse, for those allied with Metatron, they supposedly have a sense of that futility ( though now I wonder if they are absorbing Metatron’s own despair and madness by accepting empowerment from Them. ).
JS hinted at this mixed rage and despair in their earlier confrontation on the ethereal ashen plains during the Circle of Strength contest at Rayuba. They tried to force White Chain to kill Allison and got gobsmacked by Vigilant Gaze.
So WHY is Juggernaut Star so angry at White Chain, I believe it because they can see that WC sincerely believes their efforts do make a difference, it’s that hope, that adherence to the Law is what makes JS flip out.
Look at how much each of these angels has changed from where they started. We have to imagine Juggernaut Star’s conversion, yet it occurred and it appears there’s no going back for them.
You’re ignoring a critical part of Juggernaut’s nature- she and White Chain both naturally embrace human gender and femininity. They’re both trans women. JS is just in denial and hates White Chain for being open about her identity.
She says from her closet-egg shell… whatta bitch
Yesl ike that
If the object of Juggernaut Stars actions is killing white chain should she have aimed for the head or vital organs rather than the shoulders?
You can’t keep hurting the dead. Juggernaut Star wants White Chain to *suffer*… as she has.
Can imagine that Juggernaut has that EDM song “Sick Bitch” playing
JS, just take the estrogen, YOU WILL FEEL BETTER

Whoops, didn’t mean to make this a reply. Yeah girl take your estrogen
Amazing comeback, for a second I was questioning the demiurgal power of gender transition

Too often self hatred is ained at those who would be our fiercest friends, if only we’d let them.
AIMED GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
been feeling this a lot lately…
The blade which cuts the wielder.
Wait, does this mean that Juggernaut Star is actually inhabiting her armor instead of the wheel this time? That could be… really bad for her.
She can’t keep disassociating from her body anymore
I think it might be the strangest puberty anyone ever suffered.
Ohhhh I didn’t even notice that wuh oh
Don’t say that, self-hating closeted trans girl. There is still time, and who will stop you then? God? They have been dead forever.
Have a heart, Juggs, that’s going to leave a mark!
I guess there was absolutely no tanking or trying to parry that strike from Michael, it’s get out of the way or die when the large bird fellow starts swinging that bigass sword.
Michael’s laser is comb level at least
White Chain’s next line: “Arms? I don’t need no stinking arms!”
Followed by some Knee-Rata.
I see some anime hair covering up that left eye.
Reveal your blindness to the world! Reveal that you are one eye of action and violence! The silliest, spikiest Gangle Creature!
What happened to page #207?
Ahh… Rusty Cans is observant.

How long until the heroes get an actual win, then they all die to Jagginoff and his invincibility hax
Metatron could’ve forged even more powerful bodies for the Thorns… if he weren’t so broken!

JC and WC really are foils to each other, even from the very beginning.
Welp, looks like we’re past the time of clutching pearls, WC
And this is what happens when you forget the safeword with Juggernaut Star
Just a flesh wound, I’m sure It’ll buff out
