Wielder of Names 5-85
Chapter: 5
“And then was given to him a mighty wheel, all heavy of iron, and rimmed with brass, and inside the wheel was a thing called Truth. And it was said to him ‘Hear, if ye wish to lift the burning wheel, ye must first be broken upon it’. He agreed, for he knew his holy duty, and he was taken before the priests, anointed, and ordained, and broken for seven times seven days. Such screaming has ne’er been heard since that time.
But at the end of that time, they took him off, and they cast his limbs in steaming metal, and even though he never healed, he could lift that wheel, though no man could have hoped to. And inside the wheel was the awful thing called Truth, and he broke a thousand times a thousand sinners on its rim.”
– Song of Maybe
The Law that was Before. The Law that shall be After. The Law from which all others are forged.
Bust a deal, you face the Wheel.
Who run throne world?
I agree with you
Now I’ve got that same little guy saying “Goobel gobble, one of us” AND the song “We don’t need another hero” stuck in my head.
Wheel of calamity, turn turn turn, show us the maelstrom that we have earned.
Juggernaut Star is going to get himself into a lot of trouble. So impetuous. Though I know better than to compare him to humankind. I’d like to keep my head in one piece, thanks.
To put it bluntly…HE’S FUCKING DEAD!
See that 6 Juggernaut Star holds back the punishment he would so dearly wish to mete out, for he understands well the power of bargain, contract, and promise. He is wise to recognize that one must break a deal to get the wheel.
Another one of those pages that is just 10/10 heavy metal points.
News flash: Cactus angel gets mad, breaks a teacup and sets fire to the palice.
The twin fires of rage and wrath can burn strong but once evoked they have the habit of consuming all they can including the summoner of such wanton powers.
okay, that guy’s tedious now. Go away Thorny. Let us read some actual characters, please.
I am in agreement with your first two assertions, though by past evidence I believe Juggernaut Star *is* an actual character when he is at his best. Hopefully this ‘pissy, tantruming teenager’ phase of his will give way to more understated, menacing badassery at some point.
Hrm. Well, toxic angel masculinity intensifies, I guess.
A Thorn Angel is neither good nor rational nor easily sated for blood.
Our poor beloved White Chain should know this by now.
It seems that this holy duty has become a holy addiction. Well, I guess someone has to break the sinners and make them pay.
Jug, drink your apple juice and take a nap.
Seems like thorny here still doesn’t have much loyalty for his master. Killing the girl would be PRETTY BAD for the plan!
He said nothing about killing her, after all, that could be considered a mercy for one who suffers and he is most unmerciful.
“Christ, what a douche.”
– Ancienter Proverb
*YISUN, what a douche.
Heheheheh. Yeah, man: you go and dismember the freakin’ protagonist of the comic. I’d like to see you try.
I wouldn’t mind to see a cold flame snuffed out like a candle.
It is sad to say that the Thorned One lacks that quality which may be known as “Genre Savvy.” He may even be so deluded as to believe that he is, in truth, a protagonist of sorts, and not merely a corpse-to-be on which the legend of All-YS-UN shall be built.
Behold, one of the most powerful of our kin, replete with fire even in the mortal world, near too much for his terrible shell to bear.
An awful sight.
dude can’t chill
if his flame
depended on it
(It should also be pointed out: The eye-spikes can be present in the armor. If the tries very hard.)
I would dearly love to see Allison or Mottom reassemble his smug arse into a chandelier. Allison masked and named a black devil, she could take this cheese grater with an attitude. And even if she didn’t know how, Mottom would probably gleefully giver her a pointer or ten in the best way to serve snooty angel a la mode.

Death is an awfully singular moment to dwell upon, isn’t it? Far too much to do in the meantime.
Dismembering her.
When she’s right next to Mottom as a guest.
Well good luck wit that, Juggernaut.
Well, these two interlopers have been in that palace for long enough for SOMEONE (alive/conscious) to have noticed, yet they’re left alone, as is appropriate only in Hollywood-time. Shouldn’t a top conqueror/survivor like Mottom have some systems in place for survival?
There is no system as effective as Mottom herself, and they would keep her from having those lovely person to foliage moments that so stick in the hearts and minds of her subjects.
Presumably they have a plan to deal with Mottom or they wouldn’t have invaded her floating palace.
Imagine seeing your masters pass away, see the world you cherished rot, and see it’s carcass be picked on by maggots that it’s currnet inhabitants are. Finally, you see the horrible, crippling and burning Truth. And from that Truth you are given a new form and a new purpose.
And then comes someone seemingly with sight, and yet so blind, so oblivious to the state of the world surrounding them that it makes you twist inside. And even after trying to show them the Truth, they reject it.
There is no mercy for such offender.
If rotty worldness upsets you, it’s your own fault for forgetting that there are a hundred thousand “truths” out there. A few words of wisdom: If your supposed truth just so happens to make you into a noble martyr, the ONLY ONE who could POSSIBLY SAVE this WRETCHED WORLD (woe is me, I am too perfect for these animals, etc), maybe your truth is less honest sight and more self-serving justification for subjugating and killing a bunch of people. I bet Juggernaut would be sorely disappointed to find out that the truth he suffered so dearly for was attained free-of-charge by every other backwater cult on earth. Look at Mormons, for example. The world is evil and dark! All creation has lost the way! The world must be destroyed to be cleansed! Only I, prophet Joseph Smith, can see clearly the moral decay of those around me! Him and Juggernaut could trade tips in being self-important nitwits.
There is one notable difference in regard to our motercycle-riding warrior: Inhabitants of Throne and those elsewhere with knowledge of angels widely agree on the religion of Atru, and the veracity of Metatron as keeper of YISUN’s secrets.
Thus, Juggernaught Star does not contradict fellow angels much in regard to matters of fact, but simply over opinion of what should be done.
YISUN’s truthy lies are truthier than the truthy truths of all the scum and angels and anyone else, whether they agree or not.
The truth that there are many truths is but one of many truths. Let us not become closed in our open mindedness.
A religion led by prophets of God that gives hope and meaning to millions
A clash of gods, angels, and demons in word and image that gives satisfaction to thousands (millions hopefully).
One of these is true, the other is escapist fantasy.
Choose wisely.
And please don’t mix them together.
Even so, I thought YISUN once said lies are better then truth, as we strive constantly to uphold them.
Oh, great. Now I’m reading 82 White Chain with Garnet’s voice.
Cuz this scene sounds like the fight Garnet against Jasper.
You’re right! I had started doing that subconsciously too but couldn’t identify it until you said it.
Now you’ve got the song stuck in my head…
“Cast down those who insult the Wheel with their heresy, and break them upon it. Let them know its terrible weight.”
Now I totally imagine 6 Juggernaut just running through the walls, destroying everything on his path, til he finds our beloved Alice-UN.
But now a strange thought comes to me: can a Queen beat an Angel?
If so, I’d be pleased to see Nadia battle against 6 Juggernaut.
The flowering plant and thorn motif is owned by Queen Mottom the Blood Flower.
Poor little plums can’t see their individual truths for what they are: A lie, the deception of self – the only truth there is in YISUN
A thousand times a thousand sinners?
Yet I feel like he’s not quenched, for as the following says:
“The angel is a mighty judge, for his gavel is a fist of stone encasing a terrible and unforgiving fire. A corpse-ocean of criminals have been fed to that flame, yet oceans more shall never quell its unrelenting hunger.”

“I would gladly take the wheel to you”
Juggernaut Star is crueler than I had imagined. Being forced to ride a tandem bicycle is a truly humiliating fate.
82, 82
give me your answer do
I’m all crazy
just for the blood and hew
It will be a painful barrage
Like getting hit by a carriage
But you’ll look sweet
As crispy meat
Broken over a skull-bike built for two
