I’d been wondering whether White Chain would have visible eyes after ripping off his face! Interesting to see that his color change didn’t seem to last (judging by the blues/reds going into the body, and the blue glow from the holes in it).
Uther "Chaos Angel", Least of Jagganoth's Foreservants
It is possible to attain such a momentum that the only escape is through destruction. If one were to pursue that path themselves, alas, but if one were to be steered towards it… be wary. If the momentum cannot be contained the destruction, too, cannot be contained.
As near as I can tell, being de-bodied isn’t a reincarnation. If White Chain had been beaten into stasis and petrefication and then returned, they would be 83 White Chain Words Words Birds
I was under the impression that an aeon “reincarnates” when the immortal flame that actually composes their body is mortally wounded, like how we saw with 23 Delicious when she seemed to die in the void and her body petrified. But it looks like White Chain was merely banished from her physical shell and returned as soon as possible
I could be wrong, though. My knowledge of aeons is mostly limited to their dreadful power, not their life cycle.
And while we’re on the topic, I’m suddenly unsure about how to pronounce angelic names. That is, are they addressed as “eighty-TWO” or “eighty-SECOND?”
Hmmm, 2 Michael first of the secondborn, Second Michael first of the secondborn. Gonna go with the numbers. Two Michael, Eighty-Two White Chain, Six Juggernaut.
Bwahaha the canon is making my randomly generated name better! But seriously angels astral bodies vs. physical armor is confusing me. is there a forum post or wiki page that would make it more sensical?
I’ll be honest, I’m STILL confused about the whole Thorn Knights, Metatron 1, 2 Micheal in the void, etc. etc. Stuff.
Can someone explain what is going on? I’ve been following the comic for a long time, but no matter how many times I re-read those panels, I just don’t get what the deal is with the Thorn Knights, Metatron, Micheal, and Jagganoth. I don’t get who’s on what side, and why. And what their goals are, and what 2 Micheal sent White Chain to accomplish, basically everything. I’m just flat out lost.
Okay so in the beginning there were all the Prime Angels serving YISUN and protecting Throne and everything was great. And Metatron was YISUN’s scribe and most trusted confidante, and he knew YISUN’s secret names, and was imbued with the Voice of YISUN himself, which speaks absolute truth. Everything was great. Then all the gods died off, but the Angels kept hanging around Throne, getting swoler and swoler and keeping everything nice and tidy in case the Gods came back one day or something.
Then Zoss came. He breached Throne, hoping to meet God, saw that God was dead, and said ‘well, then, I guess I’m God now’. And the Prime Angels said ‘oh no you fucking aren’t’ and so Zoss and the Prime Angels threw down. And Zoss kicked all of their asses. Of course, when you destroy an angel’s body, that doesn’t kill the angel; it just sends them back into the void. Zoss apparently thought that these fuckers hadn’t had enough, because he followed them into the void and killed their asses AGAIN. Of course, this didn’t really KILL them either, Angles can’t be killed, but it did put them to sleep for long millennia while they reincarnated into new forms.
Except for Metatron. Zoss kept Metatron alive, because he knew Metatron knew God’s secrets. He tortured Metatron, and forced from him YISUN’s secret names. With this knowledge, he forged the Key of the King of All Kings – the first magus gate, which would open all 777777 worlds of the multiverse. The most powerful weapon in the universe. As the other demiurges arrived, he parceled out the names of God into lesser keys, which each open only a single universe, but he kept the master key for himself.
But Metatron he left alive – crippled, but alive. And Metatron, crazed by pain and hatred, sought revenge. He looked to Throne, and saw Men corrupting it, staining the rivers of the gods with excrement and sex. He saw the breakdown of the law his brothers had defended for untold time. He saw the human masking and naming the devils, and bringing their hot black flame back into the corpse-city. And he hated it.
Seeing the ruin Men had brought upon sacred Throne, he sought to purge the multiverse of all life, to restore the purity and order that existed before Zoss breached throne and brought the rest of his kind with them. He lured lesser angels to him, and with the Voice of God indoctrinated them to his own genocidal way of thinking. He granted them power, and they became the Thorn Knights, dedicated to the purging of all life from Throne.
However, since then, Micheal emerged from the long sleep of reincarnation, the first (and thus far only) one of his brethren to do so. He saw what Metatron had done, and he was repulsed by it – mostly over how it wouldn’t work, but also, as an afterthought, morally. He conferred with Metatron, and persuaded him to take up a different plan.
Instead of genocide, Michael and Metatron would pursue the rise of a new king to replace Zoss and the demiurges. There was a prophecy that, as the demiurges waged war upon other another, Zoss would flee his throne and select an heir, KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS, to whom he would pass his power and title. This heir would strike down the seven remaining demiurges and become the new King of all creation.
Michael and Metatron planned not only to facilitate this prophecy, but also to bring this heir before Metatron, and indoctrinate him with the Voice of God into their way of thinking. They would become the power behind the throne; although the new King would rule the multiverse, they would control the new King. And as the King’s heir rises up to replace him, they will take control of him as well. They envision a neverending cycle of kings who rule with all the power of YISUN, controlled by angels, who speak with YISUN’s voice and rule according to YISUN’s law.
However, their servant 6 Juggernaut Star, who they sent to retrieve the Heir, was too hasty. In his hatred for Zoss, he struck too soon, killing Zoss and abducting Zaid – who the Thorns, like most of the Seven, believes to be the proper Heir – before the key of power could be transferred. He was then ambushed by Jagganoth as he passed through his territory, and lost Zaid himself to the Seven. The key was passed instead to Allison (who, frankly, was probably the intended heir all along, but that’s not yet 100% clear).
In order to clean up this mess, Micheal recruits White Chain, who (unlike the thorn knights) Allison will trust, to retrieve the key and bring it to Zaid, and so set the prophecy back on its intended course. Note that Allison is expendable; Michael does not order White Chain to kill her, but tells White Chain that her duty lies with the key, not its carrier.
As for Jagganoth, this isn’t clear yet. We know that he was visited in a dream by an angel of Yisun, who gave him a holy mission to destroy the multiverse and gave him a bunch of iron feathers that made him unstoppably powerful. It’s not totally clear which angel this was, or why they did this, although it seems likely to me that it was Metatron (or 6 Juggernaut Star acting on his behalf), and that Jagganoth is simply something Metatron set into motion during his genocidal phase. But that’s my own speculation, not established fact. Exactly what Jagganoth’s deal is hasn’t been made clear yet in the story.
You should not be named Peter.
I grant thee a title: 77 Sustained Vacuous History. So claims I. Make sense of what clings to the edge of void, there’s little sense to be had beyond it.
This cowardly one shall attempt to share what he can discern.
The original goal of Metatron, and those he seduced to the Path of Thorns, was to erase all life that had entered Throne (and possibly all life in the multiverse, as well) in order to restore Singularity. Effectively, a mission born out of a futile desire to revive YISUN, by destroying all that had been created from the act of division, returning the multiverse to its original state as a singular existence. It would also appear that he managed to bend Jagganoth to his will, by charging him with an allegedly holy mission to erase reality.
At a later point, however, the Angelic conspiracy was formed between Metatron, Michael, and the Thorn Knights. It appears that this was precipitated by Demiurge Jadis’ prophecy, predicts the destruction of the seven Demiurges at the hands of the Rising King, the one to whom Zoss will bequeath the first and most powerful Key of Kings. The Angelic conspiracy now seeks to harness this prophecy for their own benefit, by killing Zoss along with the Demiurges, and manipulating the new Rising King into becoming nothing more than a puppet under the Angels’ control, making them the true masters of Throne once more.
All this was disrupted by Juggernaut Star’s attempt to hasten things along, leading to the capture of the one supposedly destined to succeed Zoss, and the bestowal of the Master Key upon our heroine, Al-YISUN. The conspiracy of angels now seeks to reclaim the Key from her and set the prophecy back on track. To this end, they coerced White Chain into acting as a double agent, to gain Allison’s trust before betraying her to take back the Key.
Metatron was broken and whispered to the first thorn knights, 2 Michael learned of it and apparently discussed this with him, with both ending up on a path that they hope will bring God back, 6 Juggernaut is one of the elder thorns (not sure if the eldest, but at least an official speaker for the group) and working with M&M to cleanse Throne, Jagganoth was part of the 7-fold pact which kept a peace between the new gods but is now powerful enough that the pact may not hold for much longer, so White Chain has been sent to bring the Key and Heir to M&M so they can have a nice tea party with a side of murder and attempt to restore Throne to what it once was.
Also, my guesses for next page are one of these three:
A. 6 Juggernaut casually asks for some tea.
B. 6 Juggernaut leaps over and flenses the poor girl apart while White Chain watches in horror.
C. 6 Juggernaut starts to leap at her and White Chain gets in the way, to which 6 Juggernaut says they wanted some tea.
And though a truly badass angel hath returned,
So too hath my favorite character duo come to end
Mayhaps humans and devils are meant not for friendship
But in my eyes, angel and human are less so
Well, the thing is that humans have a lifespan just too damn short. It’s like, they’re your friends, you blink, and they’re gone to dust. Fcking annoying, I swear you!
I’m starting to wonder if Juggernaut Star is making a mess of things on purpose. Also, why wasn’t he riding his motorcycle when he first shows up and kills Zoss – had Abbadon simply not designed it yet?
Efficiently written information. It will be profitable to anybody who utilizes it, counting me. Keep up the good work. For certain I will review out more posts day in and day out.
Hey what a brilliant post I have come across and believe me I have been searching out for this similar kind of post for past a week and hardly came across this. Thank you very much and will look for more postings from you.
I was surfing net and fortunately came across this site and found very interesting stuff here. Its really fun to read. I enjoyed a lot. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information.
Thanks so much for this information. I have to let you know I concur on several of the points you make here and others may require some further review, but I can see your viewpoint.
Oh poor girl. She looks absolutely soulless now that she has beeb made to detransition and deny her true self. Its like tge armor is wearing her instead of the other way around. I hope she will overcome this low point
Even where angels tread, room service delivers.

i imagine the last panel was accompanied by a record scratch and all music stopping.
I’d been wondering whether White Chain would have visible eyes after ripping off his face! Interesting to see that his color change didn’t seem to last (judging by the blues/reds going into the body, and the blue glow from the holes in it).
Perhaps it was not so much a change as a dimming. A dim light source, compressed and concentrated, may still be bright.
It’s always embarrassing when you need to get a ride from an acquaintance, and then once they’ve dropped you off they refuse to leave.
It is possible to attain such a momentum that the only escape is through destruction. If one were to pursue that path themselves, alas, but if one were to be steered towards it… be wary. If the momentum cannot be contained the destruction, too, cannot be contained.
So if the number in front of an Angel’s name is the number of times they have reincarnated, does that mean they are 83 White Chain now?
Because if so, the page number is wonderful.
Although maybe this doesn’t count as a reincarnation…
As near as I can tell, being de-bodied isn’t a reincarnation. If White Chain had been beaten into stasis and petrefication and then returned, they would be 83 White Chain Words Words Birds
Delicious is undergoing reincarnation; White Chain was merely banished from her body.
This has happened to her twice in the comic so far.
I was under the impression that an aeon “reincarnates” when the immortal flame that actually composes their body is mortally wounded, like how we saw with 23 Delicious when she seemed to die in the void and her body petrified. But it looks like White Chain was merely banished from her physical shell and returned as soon as possible
I could be wrong, though. My knowledge of aeons is mostly limited to their dreadful power, not their life cycle.
And while we’re on the topic, I’m suddenly unsure about how to pronounce angelic names. That is, are they addressed as “eighty-TWO” or “eighty-SECOND?”
Hmmm, 2 Michael first of the secondborn, Second Michael first of the secondborn. Gonna go with the numbers. Two Michael, Eighty-Two White Chain, Six Juggernaut.
Either way probably works depending on context, but that’s what I thought.
Further, I once heard a certain imbecile misquote a holy book he claimed to have read. I’d rather not repeat such an embarrassing mistake.
white chain must cover her nakedness with thorns!!
Quoth the angel’s standing at the door to the servant: “… have you heard the good news about YiSun?”
“Excuse me, miss, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior YISUN?”
Bwahaha the canon is making my randomly generated name better! But seriously angels astral bodies vs. physical armor is confusing me. is there a forum post or wiki page that would make it more sensical?

Thank you everyone who answered. I think I’m up to speed now.

This one finds herself wondering if our brave White Chain has found reason, again, to be deceitful.
It seems to be her particular talent.
The most glorious talent of them all.
I’m starting to wonder if Juggernaut Star is making a mess of things on purpose. Also, why wasn’t he riding his motorcycle when he first shows up and kills Zoss – had Abbadon simply not designed it yet?
The motorcyclle might have frightened the other angel’s horses too much.
Regicide should always be done on beast back. It’s polite.
Maybe it would have frightened the other rider’s horses.
She isn’t in that much trouble. They just REALLY need cup of coffee after that trip.
So, only if she gets in their way…or she doesn’t have any creamer…
Ooops! Wrong turn!
