but has she truly “fucked up”?
=//=
IT IS LIKELY THE CASE.
I agree wholeheartedly. Momma Om done fucked up royally.
I’d already fallen in love with allison but this made me adore her so much more because she looks terrified but also Fuck This. Fuck All Of This! And she just saw THAT- that… horror cloaked in faux compassion, and she’s STANDING UP.
The. Best.
Enjoy your break! Rest up!!
Looks like she can’t kneel for some reason. She was trying too. Looks that way to me though.
I just noticed that as you mentioned it. Maybe the key has a mind of its own?
Or Perhaps something is trying to force her to kneel?
I was impressed that she didn’t piss herself trying this stunt. Most of us would have. well, of those that can. We have a very eclectic mix of commenters, after all.
April first, you say? A day for fools and prophets. Also: Mistake, Allison.
Deliciously, apt, isn’t it?

Suffer Not Pretenders To The Throne
Cut God and see if She bleeds!
Drink of the fountain of hubris everlasting!
Drink of the fountain of everlasting hubris!
I feel like chicken tonight!
Tor Avesh! We already rehearsed this!
Allison has surely met a God on the road. We Know what must Be DONE!
Everyone in the blast radius is looking really worried.
Word.
Everyone in the room should be. If Allison can make even the shadow of a stand, the Goddess will want all witnesses eliminated.
The only people more scared than Allison, the people next to her.
Maybe it was more the fact that the petals were floating toward her in particular for some reasont hat bothered her, or the sense of the Key of Kings being present. People just not bowing right away probably happens enough from people just being too nervous or oblivious to move that I’d think if that was it she’d just give her guide a few seconds to correct her before bieng taken aback.
Or maybe she just really hates those shoes. Or, worse for Alison’s world, really likes those shoes.
Firsties!
First!
Such are the perils of moderated comments. One may never know how close to first it may be, and appear in the middle of the wall. It is best to only say such if you catch the update to the minute 🙂
Clearly Mottom is scandalized by Alice’s shorts/sweater combo. I made the same face myself.
There can be no other reason XD
Mottom is awfully French…I’d buy that explanation.
I absolutely love this. She looks so scared and yet there she is doing it anyway. Mottom looks surprised, intrigued and SUPER pissed. Go Allison.
“She looks so scared and yet there she is doing it anyway.” I’ve heard it said that that’s the very definition of courage.
I still remember the first time I felt it. The bone-rattling fear, the sudden clarity in my perception, the sense of objective… I can’t say it felt good, but it was certainly profound.
I would rather believe that the Blood Flower is afraid, s standing before the one prophesied to depose her, but those other feelings apply too, I suppose.
I am often left in great suspense after every page is released but this is too much
I wait with bated breath.
When the teacher just went nuts on the troublemakers in class but you have to go to the bathroom.
Shit just got real.
A climactic conclusion on the day of fools?
This one is skeptical.
She’s going to die horribly.
I know, right?
Mother Om never stood a chance. Not against a Protagonist.
I don’t know, the Heir of Flame did want to talk it out. Momma Om may yet live (and she’s a great character, I’ll be disappointed if she dies now).
Well that was damn stupid thing to do.
Royalty does not acknowledge pretenders.
Allison does not have a choice in the matter. That which burns in her brow will not suffer her to kneel.
That’s a great insight, and makes perfect sense. However, I prefer the notion that Allison herself is just that courageous.
More like just-that-god-damn-sick-of-all-this-damn-shit-I-mean-seriously-I just-want-to-go-home-damn-it-but-if-we’re-doing-this-I-will-god-damn-do-it.
Agreed
Ah, yes; but after all, YISUN himself is the first and greatest of all liars, and there is no such lie as to kneel, and let everyone believe you serve demurely. The sweetest lie is the one that pleases everyone, and thus is beheld as truth.
I pity Mottom that she has not learned this lesson. Perhaps she will join this once thick-headed skull in its sorry existence.
There’s even more reason to stand than that: Allison has been waiting for at least five hours, probably more like eight, to get the Blood Flower’s attention. If Allison kneels, she would need to wait for several more hours (likely even days) to get it. By standing, she spares herself a long wait.
A nice change of pace.
Then verily did all Heaven break loose.
Hamen!
And Mudon, to MEGIDIO!
this seems dangerous
This’ll end well.
ha. Well, it can only end SO badly…
Is that Allison drawing in the petals I see?
Feel the fear coursing through your very being with every heart beat, quickening your impulses, slowing time to a crawl.
A more worthy foe for will could scarce be found.
The battle that truly matters is being fought and won as we speak.
The mouse will climb the elephant, and the elephant will have no choice but to listen.
I expect this to be much closer to literal in the case of her facing Jagganoth.
I’d ask Jadis on that matter. I found that sloth is a really cunning enemy for will to be faced.
Lust and gluttony do get to rule over my senses too, I like them for their instantaneous gratification. They do not go against my will though, because only a fool would deny themselves moments of beauty.
For True Royalty, it is a simple task to conquer kingdoms. To peel back reality and find the one truth is an easy task, and it takes but single word to cut worlds in two.
But to kneel? Such a task would be insurmountable to Royalty.
Truth you have spoken, my friend.
But will our Rising King accept the consequences and responsibilities of Royalty?
But I want to know what happens!!
A well deserved Hiatus.
I’m so glad I found this.
And so the die is cast, the charade pulled back,
At last, we see the truth of things.
And now, Mother Om will show her thoughts of mercy
To the One Who Can Not Bow.
And the one unbowed,
shall return that mercy.
In the exact spirit,
that it was inspired by.
I wonder if the key will protect her somehow? Even if it does protect her, everybody else in that last panel is done for.
I certainly hope that it does, though it didn’t seem very helpful back in the Void. Besides her wit and luck, it may be the only edge she has against Mottom.
The hero stands alone.
Quivering.
The reckoning begins.
The reckoning begins!
Of course it was Allison… what else could it have been?
I like the look on Mottom’s face. Fitting for one who is likely about to be split down to the very atom by Universal Division.
It’s… probably a bad idea to be next to Allison right now. The others appear to realize that.
They need to learn to skitter. Quickly.
Those faces say it all.
Awwww yisss, regicide time!
The only way to Royalty is Regicide.
Always Decide to DEICIDE!
“There is NO excuse for rebellion against your King !!”
“There is if you win.”
“There is NO excuse for rebellion against your king !!”
“There is if you win.”
Luck will not be all that she needs.
KILL.

Which is the braver person? The one who spits defiance with only anger in his heart or the one who trembles like a leaf yet stands just the same?
This has failed entertaingly.
BILLION
Oh shit
…is what just got real.
We do not truck with illusory shit.
Yeah, I’m starting to think that Nyave Anyadis never really came back.
Will the real Conquering King please stand up
I repeat, will the real Conquering King please stand up?
We’re gonna have a problem here
I fear Zoss is busy elsewhere ;D
Y’all act like you’ve never seen True Royalty before.
Jaws down on the floor, like an angel just kicked in your door.
*Applause*
Looking kind of spooked there Mim.
Mim looks a tad surprised.
Those who stand in the path of an inferno will catch fire, for so is the way of the world. But only those of royalty bend the flame to their own will, and make their soul burn brighter in the heat. Glory to the divine truth.
Girl in front: “Why is the Queen looking this wa-…..There is something terrible happening behind me isn’t there?”
She comprehends the least, since she has the worst view of our protagonist’s forehead.
Reach heaven through violence. The first step.
round one
burn baby burn
MORTAL KOMBAT!
test, your might…
I must not fear, fear is the mind killer…
No, scratch that.
Even money on Al-yisun having signed her own death warrant.
Mottom’s like “Aw shit nigga”
With a dash of “WHAT ARE THOOSE?”
There’s something up with their guide’s face on the right but I couldn’t tell you what it is.
There’s something up with her face that tells you there’s also something going down in her pants.
Let us cut God to see if she bleeds!
getting shit DONE
Occasionally, bravery is when you do something incredibly stupid that you know is stupid while hoping that it will work out somehow, despite being fully aware that it will totally not work out.
Sometimes it does work though.
Oh, she’s looking real brave. Love it! Go Allison!
https://youtu.be/uc7EcuqVhPE
ho don’t do it
This update has brought the broadest grin to my face.
Of course I have little doubt that it is not /the/ broadest grin; that trophy belongs to another.
Nevertheless, my smile is broad.
Where’s Cio when you need her?
And behold! Al-Ys-Un refused to bow to the false god. She alone stood as everyone else fell to their knees in fear and trepidation. Great gusts of wind blew through the room and she trembled with a terrible anger to avenge the righteous and brave ones who had perished so shortly before. The ruler of one seventh of the universe shied away before the light emanating from Al-Ys-Un’s brow, outshining her own like the sun to a candle.
A bit flowery perhaps, but given the situation I think it’s warranted. Could still use some polishing, where did I put that thesaurus? I swear I had it somewhere…
Her version wuld likely have more swearing and colorful gibberish.
Bold and foolish, Alice-UN, reach heaven through violence and annihilate the timid child you once were.
Kill that terrible enemy called “I”
Tremendous bravery, lacking calm. And with the raw power to back it up. Kill Six Billion Demons, show us now the power of the Key in combat.
Deicide the only answer, she unsheathed her terrible blade and strode forth.
Time to switch viewpoints to Cio, who is back in Throne talking to some people at a tea party.
Perhaps Cio shall arrive. Hm.
Turns out that Abbadon is still the worst demon.
You gotta hand it to Allison though. She just witnessed this God-Bitch turn a king and his guards into flora all anime-style with almost no effort…
And still she stands up.
Zoss made a damn good choice.
It appears that Ms. Allison is hero! I hope she takes to it quickly, as I have witnessed a shockingly low survival rate in that particular profession.
Oh, saints and stars! A hero!
The pose doesn’t merely look like she’s shivering and terrified and fighting with her resolve. The pose is unnatural; like something is acting upon her.
The petals of the tree which were formerly a king of a world ravaged by Mottom’s greed fly around her.
One-one twenty twenty nine, the Key is shining bright.
Mottom might be more experienced with her powers, but it now somehow feels like the odds are stacked against her – especially given how Royalty really works in this world.
I thought maybe she was resurrecting him, but it’s possible even Alice’s initial awkwardness can’t account for that strange pose. I think you’re right!
Yeah, it looks like she’s being lifted up… perhaps by the key itself. This may be the Headless King acting through her….

All these youtube links flying around, I’m torn… which feels more appropriate here?

It’s funny.
I think we’ve seem Nadia with a vaguely similar expression once.
Right as she got her key.
Even though Allison knows their a chance she’ll get turned into vegetation she still perseveres with terror in her heart. Ahh, what a truly ignorant fool but at the same time what divine example of royalty we inheritors get to witness!
LET US CUT GOD TO SEE IF THEY BLEED
I bet Allison just undid that treespell, at least she’s looking over her left shoulder and thats where the treeifyied king is standing
Or alternatively she turns him into Tree Beard. Of course then Allison wouldn’t be best King, just Conquering King.
I can totally relate.
“Man, I wish I had a plan B right now.”
Mottom is using GLORY.
People aren’t deciding to kneel, they’re compelled to.
There’s a hissing noise as GLORY is being resisted.
Alice has been struck by GLORY.
It is ineffective!
Well, there’s also a strong wind that affects only Allison — just look at how high in the air her cloak is. Perhaps she can only resist becase she too bears the power of GLORY
“Final part….April 1st” (Suspicious eyes) Hmmmmm….
FIGHT! FIGHT ! FIGHT!
Guys, I don’t think that’s Nyave Anyadis we’ve been traveling with.
Allison wields the seven part word, Royalty, of which Glory is a lesser part, that which the conquering king Zoss kept for himself and bestowed upon her. Royalty is the voice of Yisun and none may stand before it.
Incubus noted that though Allison is unaware of it, she wants to be the hero, and it is prophesied that she will wield the terrible blade of Want, and shake the very pillars of heaven.
Huh, well isn’t that interesting. The thingamajig on her head may be keeping her standing…
Note that Alison’s white cloak is billowing around her as her Key blazes, even as Nadia/Mattom’s cloak did when she vegitated the two guys a couple of panels back.
Major Power(s) coming into play here, methinks.
To be standing up after seeing that, her want must be truly staggering.
Everytime I see the light emanate from the keys, I hear the evangelion power on noise.
Kinda remind me the face of Yellow Diamond in Steven Universe XD
Can see here https://youtu.be/-zoS3R1VWeE
Abbadon, can you change comment paying so that you jump to the parent comment when replying (out to #comments)? It would be nice to have the functionality which you have already put in actually move to the correct pay of the screen.
Weeelp, since we have some time before the next comic AND its coming out on April 1st, lets get some silly possibilites going onto what happens next. I’ll start with a few:
1. Allison: “I HAVE TO PEE!”
Queen: “…You are excused.”
Allison: *Runs from room*
2. =You’re forehead shines with the brilliance of a LED flashlight! You are filled with DETERMINATION= *Queue Undertale-stlye battle*
3. Kittens. This obviously explains itself so I don’t need to go into further details.
Mottom’s facial expression in this and the previous page would make for some amazing reaction images. And Telegram stickers. Especially Telegram reaction stickers. Yeees.
I just noticed that the next update is on April 1st….that makes me nervous. What are you planning??
Indeed she was bowing. how Mottom had not felt the key’s presence sooner mystifies the reader.
