Man, Hastet is such a gross motherfucker in the best way. I like the idea that becoming a demiurge changes you so much beyond recognition even after death. I wonder what happened to all the other dead demiurges? Did they all become trees after death? Or something worse?
If Zoss is to be believed, a demiurge shall become his greatest desire, once he can no longer fend off his want. The corpse-tree is merely a literal expression of endless lust (bearing literal fruit grown on the blood of virgin maidens), but I suspect more profound mutations exist out there, as well.
Is it just me, or when Allison’s Will is being shown here, alongside her Key flaring up, her eyes flare up as well – similar to how the red eyes of Zoss flare up when he is burning with Will (like shown when he breached the firmament) or how the Vatra pursuer guy’s red eyes also flare up (like when he was seen by All in the party)?
I wonder if we’ll get something like this for every Demiurge: the Demiurges explaining their philosophies to Allison then Zoss shows up at the end to explain how they’ve misunderstood the part they hold of Yisun’s name when Allison has rejected them.
That could get repetetive and predictable, and therefore seems unlikely with this comic. However, I could possibly see Allison growing with each Demiurge she defeats, getting to the point where she can see the explanations for herself and doesn’t need Zoss’s exposition.
I also have a teeny desire to see her do something other than defeat at least one of them. Enlist them to serve her, or perhaps she just shows up with all her power and her demon and her angel and the Demiurge decides it’s suddenly a fantastic time to retire to a small pleasant cottage on a deserted island a totally unremarkable backwoods world. Chapter end.
I hope that, what with Allison embracing the will to power and her compatriots foretold to be angel and a demon, she also gets a fairly normal mortal follower who reminds her that mundanes will have to live in the world that she’s shaping. Probably not an issue just yet, but if she starts buying into Zoss’ motivational speeches…
I’m taking bets that her final form will not be blonde.
To shape the world, you must shape yourself. To shape yourself, you must first accept yourself. Only then will you be ready to destroy the enemy called “I”.
Wait is it just me or is royalty sounding more and more like Nietzsche’s ubermensch? like someone who goes beyond the masses and shapes the world etc or am i misunderstanding the concept. hmmm
The Ubermensch is an aspirant to Royalty; one who seeks to Divide the universe and reshape it as he wills. But to aspire to Royalty and to claim it are separated by a vast chasm, for the Grand Enemy’s traps are manifold, and cunningly hidden.
The Grand Enemy trapped Mother Om through fear: without her fears, she knew no way in which to be, and wielded her power to reshape the world that the Enemy might be assuaged. This is the first snare of the mighty, which is called Empire.
There are similarities, but the Ubermensch is meant to be a thing wholly apart from humanity. The Ubermensch cares not for the concerns of mortals, being above and beyond them in ways that mortal minds could not possibly comprehend. ROYALTY, no matter how grand, is ultimately mortal, and shall be ground down by the turning of the Wheel. Moreover, ROYALTY is ultimately judged by its rule over its subjects- a Royal who refuses to care about those they rule over shall have no place upon the Throne.
You know, it’s only a matter of time before 6 Juggernaut Star turns up. Given the gravity of the fallout of a meeting between the slayer of the last king and his heir, I think it’s only appropriate that we start making bets on the outcome.
I cannot be alone in thinking it is not mere coincidence we were told a tale about a Red-Eyed King just before being reminded that a certain King we know has red eyes as well.
Despite what appears in three-dimensional reality, BURN is actually one of the 31 ways of division. Simple, Complete, and Irreversible. To control it, one must grasp the vision of destruction with their hands, and the essence of destruction in their mind. Only with this resolution of will to destruction can one embrace the 22nd way of division.

Got a typo there in the 2nd to the last panel, Abbadon. “Or you will you choose . . .” Gotta remove that first ‘you’.
This is fucking perfect.
Now I know which Queen I’ll serve, for eternity and far beyond.

And in today’s episode, Allison cranks up the badassery meter by a few notches.
SHE SITS THE THRONE OF GOD AND DROWNS IN FLAME THE MOUNTAINS OF MEN
In layman’s terms.
Do the impossible, see the invisible. Row! row! Fight the power! Touch the untouchable, break the unbreakable. Row! Row! fight the power!
MY VIOLENCE IS THE VIOLENCE THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!
Don’t lose your way. From Kill La Kill.
would also work.

Because I think that’d be funny.
CARVE OUT THE WORLD BETWEEN YOUR TEETH
This young heiress has truly got the attitude at least! Ah, this reminds me of my previous master and her attempt at royalty my dear sweet condesce.
With all due respect to Her Imperial Condescension – which is to say none whatsoever – I hope this young Royal grows up more than yours.
This statement should not be construed as a request for the Heir to not get blinged out as all shell, however.
Well yeah. That goes without saying. A Queen needs her finery.
I hope that, what with Allison embracing the will to power and her compatriots foretold to be angel and a demon, she also gets a fairly normal mortal follower who reminds her that mundanes will have to live in the world that she’s shaping.

Take your new shape.
I’m taking bets that her final form will not be blonde.

Now she just has to reach heaven through violence.
~Easy~
Hastet Om’s reaping has been long delayed, but it is all the sweeter for the savoring.
The first steps to Royalty.
“It’s too late to correct it,” said the Red Queen: “when you’ve once said a thing, that fixes it, and you must take the consequences.”
> “It’s too late to correct it,” said the Red Queen: “when you’ve once said a thing, that fixes it, and you must take the consequences.”
Something that PM Cameron might want to consider.

The sanctioned act of royalty is to Cut.
Destroy the Grand Enemy, who is called “I.”

It is similar, oh curious lump of rock, in the same way that a sparrow is the same as the eagle.
K6BD definitely has a lot of Nietzsche influences, especially in the version of Atru practiced by Zoss.
This happening so fast!!!

Begin with that ends all.

Zoss is looking pretty good for having been beaten about the head with the entire multiverse.
Why do I get the feeling he has ulterior motives?
So spaketh he who is fated… Tch, there is no cage for me- nor is there hope. Such is my case…
