Rats, I can’t make out the little word she whispered.
Kinda reminds me of http://battleangel.wikia.com/wiki/Zekka from Gunnm: Last Order (He once punched a giant plant monster so hard it turned into a huge cherry tree and bloomed) so that’s neat.
It looks like the symbols above her name could be written out as (na)(di)(a) (o)(m) if the alphabet is similar to Indic languages—which makes the (a) vowel modifier look suspiciously like the letter (o); unless like hindi, the symbol ⊥|⊐ represents (na) unmodified.
“The word was no mere utterance from the mouth of man. It resounded, pulsed in my mind and my skin. The Word of Unmaking tears something right out of our world, like cutting a stained spot from a cloak, and then mends it back until you can never detect the hole was ever there. “
Reminds me of Maestro Delfine’s ring in “Last Exile”, the one that she gives to people as “payment”, and a moment later they dissolve into a cloud of sparkly confetti that she dances around in, laughing that it’s “so pretty”.

So, one question. The very first description under her name is “the blood flower”. But is that FLOW-er, as in ” Dang, that lady sure makes the blood flow!”? or, flower, as in “What a lovely flower you’ve planted”? Actually, I kinda like it both ways…
And lo, though the Sage had seen the rancid heart of the Blood Flower in all her hideous GLORY, he, when gazing upon her guise was forced to utter that ancient incantation in the face of radiance: “Yowza!”
Such power. It leaves one curious if Allison’s possession of the Key that is seven times this one makes her this powerful, or if this is a display of the Art, which our heroine does not yet have any skill in.
Allison is from part of our world. There are a whole bunch of 1,000plus hp 48 valve single or dual overhead cam V12 WWII engines with massive multi-stage turbo-superchargers from back then that are still avialable. A modern F1 car does not have either the 6″bore or 6″stroke that a WWII Merlin had.
It should be noted that most Allison V12 engines didn’t have turbo-superchargers. They were, and still are, even louder than a Merlin and I can hear an idling Merlin from about two miles away.
You do not personally dispatch those that wish you harm. You may appear fearsome while you do, and deter assasins; alas one cannot rule through personal power alone.
— No, I know what you are saying, not even the Demiurges can rule through personal power alone. Yes, they are rightly fearsome.
You rule through your delegates. When your personal guard dispatches a would-be assassin it reinforces their reputation! The more fearsome your delegates, the sounder your rule!
I wonder what word of power the Ever-Restful Lady Jadis possesses? In my opinion, if the words are meant to be subversive, than a possible word could be freedom, because in order for Jadis to fully expand her awareness towards the infinite wisdom of YSUN she was forced to isolate her physical body from the multiverse, she gained her freedom within the confines of a reflective cage.
((More U.M. text for known words! I think I’m getting somewhere with this at last!
Based on the explanation in 3-37, I do wonder if ‹V› is intended as something closer to [y] (which English generally lacks) or perhaps something like [ɯ] (which even more English generally lacks). It seems like ‹YS-PRAVI› would probably be pronounced lke [is prawi], but the difference between [w] and [ɯ] or [u] is quite small in the first place, and the same can be said of ‹UN-SIVRAN›, which would intuitively (for English speakers) probably be pronounced something like [un sivran] rather than something like [un siuran]. Maybe [w] is simply an allophone of one or more of the close back vowels?
Additionally, the profile website linky thing goes to my first attempt at writing in the U.M. alphabet with fillers in red.))
A portion of me would suspect this incident as having been intentional.
The petals are quite lovely, and it would seem reasonable that an occasional reminder of her capabilities would be beneficial toward maintaining a comfortable atmosphere within the Palace of Radiance.
Perhaps an advisor who remained behind will shortly be receiving a title and the gift of a wondrous fruit tree that can withstand the harshest climate.
If the seven are going to get the little title intro plaques as seen here, does that mean Allison will be going through all of them in something of a boss-fight order?
…if so, might it be that Allison will find the other six to be even -more- difficult to deal with than Her Majesty here?
Assuming that the meeting of the Demiurge’s portrayed their metaphysical condition then Nadia is liable to be the most decrepit, maybe no less powerful, but so polluted spiritually that she’s liable to make some horrendous mistake that gives Allison a chance to kill her.
Meanwhile Solomon David and Incubus seem to still have something of a grip on sanity if these theory holds true, although possibly being all the more evil for it.
Is she naked under her robe?
Is this a koan?
I bet she whispered the word “blossom” to get all those petals ahah
How about an anime cross-over? “Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.”
‘Our lady’s quite a portly one, But rarely does she eat. She cracks apart the bones of God, And sucks off all the meat.’
Rats, I can’t make out the little word she whispered.

To witness Her floating introduction box is to know her Glory. I want one.

Think of what Alice-un might be capapble of, that she doesn’t yet know.
good thing she had those guards to protect her
someone might try to punch her in the face
Petals in the wind~
All we are is petals in the wiiiiind~
…RUN, ALICE, RUN!

A more appropriate word to bear would be gluttony.

Our lady whose lies reshape reality undoubtedly picks her titles purposefully and meaningfully.
And lo, though the Sage had seen the rancid heart of the Blood Flower in all her hideous GLORY, he, when gazing upon her guise was forced to utter that ancient incantation in the face of radiance: “Yowza!”
Oh what a twisted turn of events, one that feeds the people, and his friend to feed him.
Serving face even when she has to slay a bitch. Werk it, mama Om.

How to destroy such a being?

That’s the saddest face of flowers I’ve ever seen
We may have years
We may have hours
But sooner, or later
We push up flowers.
Again Mottom violates basic tenets of Rulership.

It could be The Tower
I’m more partial to Jadis representing The Diamond
A diamond might be symbolic for a mirror. It could also be symbolic for The philosophers stone. who knows…

Thats it. Everyone go home.
This guy wins the best name award.
Oh, but some of these other names are so wonderful to peruse!

That’s what I’m expecting personally.

In true Anime fashion. One of Allison’s hobbies, if memory serves.
