Allison: “Mottom, you said you couldn’t kill your husband? Hold my beer!”
Thus spoke the King “I am eternal.”
“That is a poor lie.” The King replied, and everyone saw that it had always been so.
The wheel turns.
That corpse tree should be destroyed ages before.
Good job Allison. You are not helpless anymore and it seems like you finally understand this.
Random thought: she’s the reincarnation of that character the author seems so fond of – Aesma. [1]
(I mean, fouling up the don’t get drunk spell and _still_ drinking a black demon under the table? And a plan which consists basically of “walking into the godlike bad gal’s palace and confront her face to face, something something, profit!” – classic Aesma just bulling through. Sure, it’s a long path back to her true self, but she’s started.)
[1] Whatever did happen to her, anyway? She doesn’t seem the sort of kill herself along with the other Gods to bring life to a bunch of worlds she’d never see.
It is of this one’s opinion that the vagrant warrior known as Maya, the beggar knight, is in truth Pree Ashma for she speaks of the wisdom of Struggle and violence. Amidst the great skirmish in Hell 71, she sat unfazed and unharmed eating her noodles- this speaks of a power beyond most who live upon this great Wheel we call existence. Aesma, greatest of YISUN’s disciples, was the Master of Want- and who is more in want than the poor beggar wandering the world?
If that is the case, she has learned the skill of Discretion, for the Aesma of old would most likely be a beggar most loud and aggressively importunate.
Unless she was the first to say: “To Hell with you all: I’m making my own universe and you aren’t invited.” It is for the master of want to lead, not to follow.
I can be shot!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Showy. Extravagant. But it’ll probably do the job.
YIKES!
…and her music was electric.
DON’T LOSE YOUR WAAAAY
WITH EACH PASSING DAAAAY
SHE DID IT!!!!!
And at the first, the blade of want hast cleaved the rotten queen’s king. Next, may her eyes watch as her glory is shorn, and the waterfall of days finally come to a close.
This one cannot be the only lowly disciple of AL-YIS-UN that thinks the third panel should be accompanied by an epic heavy metal guitar riff!
A decent ending for the demon.
No longer lingering in the ellipsis.
BOOMSHAKA-LAKA
*Kill five billion, nine hundred and ninety nine million, nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine demons
She wields the curse of want as a king should, and once she gains certainty none shall stand o’er long against her.
THE RISING KING
VANQUISHES ALL
TAKES NONE
HER NAME IS THE NAME OF GOD
AL-YIS-UN
She embraced the vision of destruction with her mind.
She embraced the essence of destruction with her hands.
Thus, with a resolute will to destruction, she divided unholy
creation in the 22nd way.
BURN
Stop, does that now-masked Black Devil count?
I guess no, but still, he stopped existing.
Vladok was more of a suicide than a “kill.”
He was a Devil, not a Demon. An easily forgotten, but very important, distinction.
A random devil is not a demon, for Vladok merely lived, while true demons bring ruin.
That is the power of the voice of God?
Truly awesome, and not in a necessarily positive sense. More in the way that makes your heart forget to beat.
Perilous is the path the young king now treads. She must wind her way through the temptations of the seven Demiurges Deceived if she is to truly wield her power and not be corrupted by it.
And so, the unknown one took upon herself the power of kings, and struck down the still living corpse.
A good start.
Witness now the light with a radiance hotter and more vicious than glory- the light of want.
So shocking that even the dead girl looks surprised!
PS: The metal staff heating to incandescence in panel 3 was a nice touch.
