Wielder of Names 5-88
Chapter: 5
“First of all you will eat all the bodies
No matter they pray for freedom they’ll kill you
Forward you crush those going backwards
The wolves are now your lords
No matter they pray for freedom they’ll kill you
Forward you crush those going backwards
The wolves are now your lords
Voracious flames upon the earth
Second step you eat all the creation
Swallow the trees, the lakes and all the valleys
Crush the moon and drink the river flowing
Deeper than ocean blue
Swallow the trees, the lakes and all the valleys
Crush the moon and drink the river flowing
Deeper than ocean blue
Burning all that, burning all that
They teach you how to conquer and rule the world
The towers that you built so strong, no man can touch
They tell you how to find and raise the fears
And let them grow inside of your heart, they need no walls”
The towers that you built so strong, no man can touch
They tell you how to find and raise the fears
And let them grow inside of your heart, they need no walls”
-Gojira, ‘Wolf Down the Earth’
Allison, I am your mother. Join me, and rule by my side. Together, the flames of our self-hatred will burn like Creation, as we crush the worlds beneath our boots in order to timidly avoid rocking the flying castle-boat. I mean, if that’s OK with you. Not that you HAVE to–I mean–sorry, what do you think?
That the Heir arose from an unconquered world is important – she has a fresh perspective, that burns away the rot of the Demiurges, the lies and cages they’ve trapped themselves in.
If only it wasn’t too late for the Blood Flower…
I guess we will see Mottom die soon, what a shame.
Bring a prisoner is easy. Being a prisoner means that you have no choice. Having no choice means that you never have to take responsibility for your own decisions.
Is Cio crashing the party? Mother Om and Alice have been providing plenty of material for misguided fan-fiction writers–Surely our favorite blue demon can sense this.
And praise be to YISUN, it is magnificent to see how Alice has developed from a panicked prisoner from the earlier chapters into a person willing to call out a demiurge to their face.
while still being a panicked prisoner.
Is she going to frend her? I hope this turns into an anime where villains become a posse, but then again I don’t.
Mottom do come across as a bit childish here. Maybe the peach of immortality slash horrific manpeach affect more than just the body.
I wonder, do the discrepancies come from our two angel brothers? Who had the time to ask them if they were on the list?
Well, of course the Angels are disruptive – both are crashing the party, to begin with. But I’d wager that, even in the face of the ruddy path they are cutting through the guests, there would be only moderate discrepancies. I think an additional variable has made an entrance unshown.
Ten pages ago, I wanted to see Allison somehow kill Mottom. Now I just want to see them star in a buddy cop movie together.
Okay, YES! but do they play themselves, or play themselves trying to play actual characters?
Mottom caused the death of millions to protect herself
I fully endorse she who shall become Kill Six Billion Demons telling Mottom this.
Dramatic irony is said to be a favorite plaything of YISUN.
A thousand lifetimes, this one thinks it would be enough time to learn to break the chains of glory with humility alone…
The Hell 71 mercenaries in “borrowed” finery is my guess.
“You are… young princess Kami of world 5421?”
3-eyed old man in a torn pink dress glares at the receptionist.
“I am.”
It’s funny; when we first saw Mottom, I was worried it was going to be an instance of “woman in power is indulgent to the point of decrepitude”.
Then, when we saw her hold court, I was worried it would be “aged sorcerous glamours up more youthful form out of vanity”.
With this final piece to go along with how she acted at the Concordance and with Allison, it’s apparent to me that times when Nadia can be aged and ugly and vulgar are her just being herself, and possibly the closest she can get to being happy.
That’s rather delightful.
> “A thousand lifetimes of pain. I don’t expect you to fully understand. Not yet.
If I were Allison, I’d be wondering what that “yet” meant. A thousand lifetimes of pain?
An unfathomably long life filled with unbearable suffering would absolutely change a person. Who am I to say that I could still maintain my morality after that kind of thing? To think I could would be arrogant. I don’t judge her. I disagree with her, vehemently, but I don’t think her weak. After all, what value could I see in others after countless centuries of torment?
If they were actually their currently depicted ages, their conversation would probably be more like this…
Mottom: “Grown ups are mean!”
Allison: “Crybaby!”
Mottom: “Are not!”
Allison: “Are to!”
Mottom: “Are not!”
Allison: “Are to!”
Mottom: “Stinky breathe!”
Allison: “Boogeyface!”
*Queue childish slap fight with ‘paff paff’ sound effects*
Sometimes it takes great bravery and courage to be a coward, other times bravery is the greatest act of cowardice of all.
75 Blood of the Concurrent Inquiries and 7 Sentient Shard Of Firmament Disagrees have been added to the Index.
I believe that Nadia has given up hope. Not to despair, exactly, but rather she has forgotten it. She accepts her cowardice and her cruelty as the only path because she has walked it for so long she cannot grasp the idea of walking any other. It would be like asking a human to understand the white flame.

I have heard it said that Hope is the worst of all evils, for it prolongs the suffering of Man.
Index? Where would one gaze upon such a compendium of information?
A page or two back. Trying to post it here too but after that I will probably only come around after significant updates. I keep it, and have recently sifted through every comment in this comic to get all the angel names used here. You are now on it, by the way.
I feel bad for that servant in the last panel, that must be a really awkward time to interrupt Mottom’s conversation.
*enthusiastically (but gently) slamming fists on desk, chanting*
Redemption arc, redemption arc, redemption arc…!
All I’m gonna say is, Mottom has been looking hecka anime these past couple pages.
So wretchedly craven and shallow
Is my poor amber-eyed Mottom
Why not let your greed go to fallow
And let me spank your bottom?
THE PURSUERS ARRIVE
let’s see how long Allison’s altruism goes untested . . .
Allison has been growing on me since the last chapter of the first Arc. Growing from – what I felt at least- a seemingly useless lead into a far braver and far more stoic warrior. This page right here? Cemented my new found respect and admiration for her. Calling out someone for their bullshit excuses for their dirty deeds? Awesome. Calling out one of the strongest and nastiest being in the Multiverse? Extra Awesome. Keep kicking ass Ms. Ruth.
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.
