Burning maiden-eating trees, delivering witty-one liners that you’ll regret later and throwing the political balance multiversal so far off that it’ll probably result in so much war and death. So much of the stuff. Enough to. Yeah man. Lots of dying and corpses and change, hopefully for the better. That’s the family business.
In any case, this is definitely going to make this one of the more memorable parties on this spoke of the Wheel. I’d bet my shorts on it.
Also, might’ve said this before, but Allison looks 54.2 times better with brown hair. Like, man. So much better.
To create first you need to destroy old order. System in the multiverse is so rotten to the core that you need to destroy it compeletly, let it collaps on itself to be able to start anew and made something better.
I had hoped Allison would drain it trunk dry but osmosis and destruction reigning calls for a feast! To the end of all and beginning of new! Let cast aside the card of death in our wake!
…Moreover, Mottom turned someone *else* into a peach tree at the end of the last chapter, so she’s not even right. She could continue on just as she was, without all the gratuitous girl-murdering and guilt, if she cared to.
A warning, young heir. You may find the fruit of a rebellious peasant and the fruit of a dead god fatted on a lifetime’s suffering, watered by the lifeblood of maidens, his unholy facsimile of life maintained only by the careful maintenance of his sorceress queen and murderess?
Tree dies in a pyre. Mottom dies as her age catches back on her, and her will no longer keeps the palace in the sky. The palace, falls, killing everyone. Alison is not being dismissive when she says that everybody dies. Everybody dies, and it happens because she kills them!
The grip of death loosens to the willing, and tightens to the reluctant. Those who would dare defy the natural order of things would soon find death’s hand quite strong.
The acolytes of the Tree of Woe bow to their twice-fallen King. Surely, one who must be killed a second time – and by the Highest of Royalty, at that – has left a lasting mark on his domain.
Old Ivanya, seller of coffins and bodies to fill them with.
It’s been a month since I left this cabin
The doctor was worried about a fever and other difficulties I’ve been having
She called me on Christmas, that was my gift
She was worried I might die, I said “I might die? No shit”
The scales have been tilted the madness of order of old shall soon disappear and now anarchy reigns. But a new order is born as the heiress rises to power sanctified in her actions as kills her predecessors with flames all around and covered in blood.
On some worlds, it is said, that only by fire can we burn away the falsehoods of reality and reach the truth. But the Flame of the Inheritors burns away all the illusions of the Wheel, leaving only the truth of lies.
she who wields a weapon of purest light did what none other could do. She brought the hunger of a god to an end. Masterfully done and a weapon well placed has struck true.
I felt this might be the case. Even if it is right and virtuous to do this, this does not mean it will feel that way. To regret one’s own actions is only natural. As the sage of wishers once said:
“We love nothing so much as to exceed ourselves and grow, and struggle against nothing so hard as our transcendence.”
Considering the countless billions who will be reaped as a consequence of this action, I expect Allison will have some difficulty getting over it, herself.
The storm has been unleashed! How many will she save from the fallout? How will she try to save them? There isn’t much one can do alone. She’d need to take the reigns of government, but I get the feeling she absolutely wouldn’t do that.
And so it was fulfilled, that which the ancients spoke, “The Heir shall arise, full of Fyre and Vengeance thricefold- once for the damsel stolen from the King’s bed, twice for the fallen Guardian whose brethren cursed her instead, and third, most grave and momentous of all, for the Foolish King who to tried to outlive them for fear of what’s dead.”
So said YISUN, and so it shall be, ever is and never was.
So, is she just gonna leave Mottom there with that key or is she going to take it from her and use it as her own? Because I’m fairly sure that was the plan from the beginning.
We know there’s more than one way to prolong life. She knew the tree was failing. We know Mottom’s been around a long long time. Did she really have no plan B?
She has also rediscovered the words of warrior poet Andrew W.K.:
“Your life is over now
Your life is running out
When your time is at an end
Then it’s time to kill again
We cut without a knife
We live in black and white
You’re just a parasite
Now close your eyes and say goodnight”
You know, one would have thought that owning a seventh part of the power of the multiverse would bestow immortality by itself. Why does Mottom require the fruit? Or do the other six also have secret crutches for their immortality?
I suspect the tree is only a construct of her mind and will. Consider her primary obsession is her infirmity and age; She killed her husband because as she grew older he consumed and destroyed younger women. Her concern for others well being does not seem to be a key motive for Mottom, so we must assume it was the loss of her youth and station that drove her murder. Now she creates and perpetuate this twisted facsimile of her marriage. It will be interesting to see if she truly lets herself be ended by this twisted pseudo dependence on her husband. I suspect she loves herself far too much for that.
Abaddon essentially confirmed this. Mammon is one of the Servant races and as such will not die of old age. Gog-Agog too is not human, and thus not a true mortal by simple virtue of the nature of her existence.
Typically the reverse is true, Preem Felis. The mighty die, and most often the mighty die young.
Remember always that the creator of humanity was Pree Aesma, and unto us her children she granted the greatest gift she could imagine: we would never live long enough to truly know boredom.
As the Psalms and Spasms teach us, to defy the will of Aesma is not impossible, to the great benefit of all. But it does tend to involve a great deal of collateral damage.
Abaddon has said he reads all the comments here, but does he also read the ksbd subreddit? There were some good ideas for merch a while back. And… god, I just want some merch, dammit.
Since killing the bootyfruity tree destroyed the source of Lady Mottom’s immortality, it’s like killing two demons with one stone! Onward, Returning King Kill Six Billion Demons! May the angels have your back, and hopefully not with a motorcycle wheel lodged in it! 2 down, 5,999,998 to go!
See, personally, I don’t think the eternal life is an issue in and of itself — the problem here is the whole “world-eater pillaging civilizations for life-extending loinsfruit” aspect of the situation.
But on the other hand, Allison didn’t actually say death is the proper end state of life, so maybe I’m just reading too much into it.
The white flame, pure and cold, burns now in the corpse of kings. Soon, the corpse of queen shall join it. This one wonder, who shall feed the black flame?
“Everybody dies”
Meaning, when Mottom dies, the island goes down.
Then, everybody on the floating island dies.
There’s nobody left alive, because everybody died.
Everybody.
Don’t forget, that when one of the Demiurges fall, the balance of power keeping Jagganoth in check will fail. With Mottom’s death (accompanied by the many kings she ruled over, who are currently attending her party), a power vacuum will form that will throw her 111,111 universes into chaos. Her fellow Demiurges will attack, desperate to claim the resources for themselves to shore up their positions against Jagganoth…all for naught, as said Big Idiot will choose this time to march to war himself. The cleansing of the universe will begin.
Numbers are important in this place. How is it just a matter of pure chance that each of the seven has exactly the same number of universes under control? Not one super powerful high mucky muck has managed to end up even one universe differently enumerated than the other six. This guy has set things up so that the most powerful of beings are ultimately powerless.
one question that nags at me. at what point did mother Om look at the putrid fruit growing upon her late Husbands corpse tree and thing “…I am going to eat that”
Maybe one of her servants tried it first, or one of his many then-living mistresses?
What I’m wondering is how she figured out to feed him blood rather than having his new wives hump the inside of his outh so he can eat them out or something. Or why she had to give so much of each one’s blood, rather than getting more women but running it like a proper blood drive.
I’m curious to see what Mottom will do now that she’s supposedly doomed. If she’s powerful enough to rule a 7th of the universe and keep that huge palace floating by will alone, you’d think if she freaked out and decided to smash things…she could smash some awfully large things.
So chosing King in this context means: Not getting the kingdom, killing a tree, then running away.
The ways of Yisun are wise and also very esoteric.
On the plus side, it is kinda Aesma like. Vagabond without fashion sense shows up at Queens doorstep, gets bored with her ball, murders her husband, desecrates his corpse, insults her, runs away.
Given the continued existence (and in some cases, youthful appearances) of the other Demiurges, there are other ways to extend life. You should have spent some of your millennia in finding a better way than accursed peaches obtainable only through bloodbribes to your husband’s corpse. Now it’s too late.
…is a very easy thing to say to someone else. I would very much like to see this turned back on her, because she sure as hell hasn’t been the stoic, resigned type for most of this misadventure. Her wit is hypocritical and more than a little condescending, even if Mottom supposedly deserves it.
The fruits already on the scattered tree limbs ought to last a while – maybe a week?
Time enough for Mottom to do the things she’s procrastinated doing out of fear, like kill the most corrupt people in her court – maybe 90% of them by now.
That SAID, “everyone dies, get over it” is just a defeatist statement, and I for one will have nothing to do with it. You simply need to overcome some technical challenges, such as fixing aging, cancer and the limited lifespan of the universe.
As noted elsewhere, not everything in Abbadon’s universe dies the way humans do… but then, Allison has seen twofold that even for humans, death is not necessarily the end. On the one hand, the Old King demonstrates the survival of the spirit, but the tree demonstrates that given enough power, even the bestial drives can gain a twisted immortality of their own.
Of course, it’s a given in most religions that the soul goes somewhere after death, and this is a world of angels and demons. ISTR in the City, she saw the dead as beggars; presumably those were the folks who could not prepare properly or were unable to access their assets after death.
For that matter, I don’t think we’ve seen much of what happens to
Burning maiden-eating trees, delivering witty-one liners that you’ll regret later and throwing the political balance multiversal so far off that it’ll probably result in so much war and death. So much of the stuff. Enough to. Yeah man. Lots of dying and corpses and change, hopefully for the better. That’s the family business.
In any case, this is definitely going to make this one of the more memorable parties on this spoke of the Wheel. I’d bet my shorts on it.
Also, might’ve said this before, but Allison looks 54.2 times better with brown hair. Like, man. So much better.
That wager, I would take on semantic grounds.
Reputation and memory differ, on the subject of witnesses.
What colour are the shorts? mine are black
Al-YISUN is perpetually changing everything around her. Grab some popcorn, and get ready for the ride has only just begun!
To create first you need to destroy old order. System in the multiverse is so rotten to the core that you need to destroy it compeletly, let it collaps on itself to be able to start anew and made something better.
I had hoped Allison would drain it trunk dry but osmosis and destruction reigning calls for a feast! To the end of all and beginning of new! Let cast aside the card of death in our wake!
It doesn’t seem like Nadia knows quite what to do next. Our hero does, though – after victory, retreat!
Most anticlimactic defeat of a tyrant ever.
Well. She was the starter boss.
That’s the best advice I’ve ever heard.
No regrets, Heir. Only conquest.
*conquests
Please, do not insult the Rising King.
Conquest, no hair, only regrets?
Classic Hero.
Set fire to everything with a weapon of unimaginable power.
Toss out a witty one liner.
Run away.
Just some adventurer forethought. I mean you don’t stick around to see if the bid bad was a load bearing boss.
Especially when you already know for sure she is one.
Considering Nadia said she literally holds up the whole city with her will alone…
Yeah, load-bearing.
Now.. the Angels, and Cio, and Maya, and everyone along with her, shall all crash into one another right in front of Allison.
More than likely.
…Moreover, Mottom turned someone *else* into a peach tree at the end of the last chapter, so she’s not even right. She could continue on just as she was, without all the gratuitous girl-murdering and guilt, if she cared to.
Perhaps the fruit of a former Demiurge is more potent.
That assumes that Prior Sor’s fruit has the same effectiveness, I imagine that a dead demiurge has far more potency than a mere monk.
Not all peaches are the peaches of immortality.
A warning, young heir. You may find the fruit of a rebellious peasant and the fruit of a dead god fatted on a lifetime’s suffering, watered by the lifeblood of maidens, his unholy facsimile of life maintained only by the careful maintenance of his sorceress queen and murderess?
Not precisely equal in potency.
Majesty crumbles, trees struggle. Life is overcoming and contest and to be stilled is to die.
Death is lamented, but only by those who live.
I love this comic. God bless you Abby.
Geez, Mottom.
Get over it already.
I like how she has moments of insanity and lucidity interwoven between themselves. Pretty neat.
You get that old, you can’t help but get crazy as well.
Sometimes you’ve got to use tough love.
Is Alice-UN just noping the fuck out of here? Because she better should.
Even the Demiurges can die an fall into the void. So says Al-YS-UN
To live is to die, to die is to live.
Immortality is a cycle.
Tell me, this paradox, what does it weigh?
Does it speak to roundness or regress?
Both are endless but I think neither comes this way.
Is death but life or vice versa?
Might they both be the two sides of a Möbius band?
Motioned but Directionless? Or Inverse?
The ol’ smite and flight.
Methinks Mother Om’s force of will just crumbled.
Is this considered a hit and run?
or maybe
dine and dash
The Raiding King
Juggernaut Star incoming!!
Tree dies in a pyre. Mottom dies as her age catches back on her, and her will no longer keeps the palace in the sky. The palace, falls, killing everyone. Alison is not being dismissive when she says that everybody dies. Everybody dies, and it happens because she kills them!
Kill Six Billion Party Guests
The question is whether they live in that time and if after their death they live on in people’s memories.
Well said.
Fear not death but the life un-lived.
I’m thinking this is the kind of thing that could break the stalemate with Big Red.
More likely than not, in his favour.
Most certainly. But broad and deep is the chasm that separates ‘you will be victorious’ and ‘you have won.’
Wow, harsh.
Rest well, o sweet Mottom.
Ah, but I do envy her. How hard I’ve struggled for more than a glimmer of nothing!
please stop struggling
you’ll break something
like your face
yet again
User…number checks out.
Maybe you should retreat more instead of charging
The grip of death loosens to the willing, and tightens to the reluctant. Those who would dare defy the natural order of things would soon find death’s hand quite strong.
And this is why you do not reveal your only source of indefinite life to a complete stranger.
HAIL.
The acolytes of the Tree of Woe bow to their twice-fallen King. Surely, one who must be killed a second time – and by the Highest of Royalty, at that – has left a lasting mark on his domain.
Ominous hovertext is ominous
I suppose that answers “Girl, what do you think about death?”, then.
FINALLY! (but at the same time, not)
Remember that Maya asked Allison “What do you think of death?”
It would appear we have our answer.
I imagine Maya might grin at the response. And then attempt to decapitate our heroine–but really it would be a touching moment while it lasted!
It’s been a month since I left this cabin
The doctor was worried about a fever and other difficulties I’ve been having
She called me on Christmas, that was my gift
She was worried I might die, I said “I might die? No shit”
All the irons in the fire.
The scales have been tilted the madness of order of old shall soon disappear and now anarchy reigns. But a new order is born as the heiress rises to power sanctified in her actions as kills her predecessors with flames all around and covered in blood.
And so it is as Mottom said it would be, during the Demiurges’ conclave.
Zoss’s blade has been driven through the guts of the thing most necessary to Mottom, an occurrence for which she has waited centuries.
All Hail the New King.
On some worlds, it is said, that only by fire can we burn away the falsehoods of reality and reach the truth. But the Flame of the Inheritors burns away all the illusions of the Wheel, leaving only the truth of lies.
she who wields a weapon of purest light did what none other could do. She brought the hunger of a god to an end. Masterfully done and a weapon well placed has struck true.
AMAZING!
First
Memento Mori Motherfucker
It seems the student has become the murderer.
I think we’re about to see an immortal throw away the last remnants of sanity here. Glad I’m not on that world right now.
Assuming that was a Biwon demon she just killed, there are just 5 more Biwon demons to go.
(Yes, I’m being facetious.)
Evil is reverenced in it’s passing.
The last few moments of Mottom’s life may be her greatest or her worst. The reality of imminent death does that to a being.
“Allison’s going to regret saying that.”
I felt this might be the case. Even if it is right and virtuous to do this, this does not mean it will feel that way. To regret one’s own actions is only natural. As the sage of wishers once said:
“We love nothing so much as to exceed ourselves and grow, and struggle against nothing so hard as our transcendence.”
Thank you for that last.
Memento Mori. Remember your death.
It is precisely because humans are mortal that we can aspire to such great heights.
No Queen rules forever. No glory is eternal. Forever is a lie; even holy YISUN saw to that.
I wonder if Allison will be quite so blase when she sees the consequences of Mottom’s death?
Her regret is a long time coming; when Allison dies.
I don’t think she’ll have to wait that long. Don’t think of Mottom dying early in the story… think of her as leaving before the rush.
The Wielder of Names has returned!
One down, five to go.
Considering the countless billions who will be reaped as a consequence of this action, I expect Allison will have some difficulty getting over it, herself.
Allison just broke the 6 versus 1 stalemate wihtin the Demiurges.
Following the Player Character handbook to a ‘T’ there, girl, good on ya!
The storm has been unleashed! How many will she save from the fallout? How will she try to save them? There isn’t much one can do alone. She’d need to take the reigns of government, but I get the feeling she absolutely wouldn’t do that.
And so it was fulfilled, that which the ancients spoke, “The Heir shall arise, full of Fyre and Vengeance thricefold- once for the damsel stolen from the King’s bed, twice for the fallen Guardian whose brethren cursed her instead, and third, most grave and momentous of all, for the Foolish King who to tried to outlive them for fear of what’s dead.”
So said YISUN, and so it shall be, ever is and never was.
That “What did you doooo” reminds me of Zeniba from Spirited Away when she freaks out and starts breathing fire at Haku.
That “What did you doooo” reminds me of Zeniba from Spirited Away when she loses it and starts breathing fire at Haku.
“Time to blow this taco stand!”
So, is she just gonna leave Mottom there with that key or is she going to take it from her and use it as her own? Because I’m fairly sure that was the plan from the beginning.
When did Al-Ys-UN state a plan? She merely stated an objective and proceeded forthwith.
White flame… Tee-hee.
We know there’s more than one way to prolong life. She knew the tree was failing. We know Mottom’s been around a long long time. Did she really have no plan B?
Were Mottom capable of such foresight, she would have long surpassed her peers
It seems Allison has rediscovered the koans of the philosopher Oingo Boingo. To note:
You can’t change fate
But don’t feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can
It’s just like the weather
So quit complaining, brother…
No one lives forever!
She has also rediscovered the words of warrior poet Andrew W.K.:
“Your life is over now
Your life is running out
When your time is at an end
Then it’s time to kill again
We cut without a knife
We live in black and white
You’re just a parasite
Now close your eyes and say goodnight”
You know, one would have thought that owning a seventh part of the power of the multiverse would bestow immortality by itself. Why does Mottom require the fruit? Or do the other six also have secret crutches for their immortality?

As the Psalms and Spasms teach us, to defy the will of Aesma is not impossible, to the great benefit of all. But it does tend to involve a great deal of collateral damage.
One who gets over death has little left to hold her back.
All hail AL-YIS-UN!
Abaddon has said he reads all the comments here, but does he also read the ksbd subreddit? There were some good ideas for merch a while back. And… god, I just want some merch, dammit.
Everyone dies but not everyone lives. It seems Al-YIS-UN has begun her life in truth now. Life is fire and its burning in her hands.
Lets see what happens when you have everything to lose
I’m sure Jagganoth would love to quote Alison’s statement, though with the addition of some implied immediacy.
Since killing the bootyfruity tree destroyed the source of Lady Mottom’s immortality, it’s like killing two demons with one stone! Onward, Returning King Kill Six Billion Demons! May the angels have your back, and hopefully not with a motorcycle wheel lodged in it! 2 down, 5,999,998 to go!
Well, she DID say she wanted out, no?
See, personally, I don’t think the eternal life is an issue in and of itself — the problem here is the whole “world-eater pillaging civilizations for life-extending loinsfruit” aspect of the situation.
But on the other hand, Allison didn’t actually say death is the proper end state of life, so maybe I’m just reading too much into it.
The white flame, pure and cold, burns now in the corpse of kings. Soon, the corpse of queen shall join it. This one wonder, who shall feed the black flame?
I JUST REALIZED!
“Everybody dies”
Meaning, when Mottom dies, the island goes down.
Then, everybody on the floating island dies.
There’s nobody left alive, because everybody died.
Everybody.
Don’t forget, that when one of the Demiurges fall, the balance of power keeping Jagganoth in check will fail. With Mottom’s death (accompanied by the many kings she ruled over, who are currently attending her party), a power vacuum will form that will throw her 111,111 universes into chaos. Her fellow Demiurges will attack, desperate to claim the resources for themselves to shore up their positions against Jagganoth…all for naught, as said Big Idiot will choose this time to march to war himself. The cleansing of the universe will begin.
Everybody dies. EVERYBODY.
Numbers are important in this place. How is it just a matter of pure chance that each of the seven has exactly the same number of universes under control? Not one super powerful high mucky muck has managed to end up even one universe differently enumerated than the other six. This guy has set things up so that the most powerful of beings are ultimately powerless.
So, is there a higher power?
Allison, do think ahead and watch your words. You might want immortality yourself, someday.
True Royalty is immortal as long as they wish to be, so once she achieves it fully, it would be of no concern.
BOOM DEAL WITH IT
[SUNGLASSES NOISES]
When Nadia pulls a Lemongrab
A very wise, and very twisted man once said
“Death comes for us all, Its merely a matter of timing.”
one question that nags at me. at what point did mother Om look at the putrid fruit growing upon her late Husbands corpse tree and thing “…I am going to eat that”
She probably tested it on someone else first.
Maybe one of her servants tried it first, or one of his many then-living mistresses?
What I’m wondering is how she figured out to feed him blood rather than having his new wives hump the inside of his outh so he can eat them out or something. Or why she had to give so much of each one’s blood, rather than getting more women but running it like a proper blood drive.
At the point she got old enough presumable.
She might have figured out what it’d do before testing the fruit.
Also we don’t know that it is putrid. Maybe it’s fresh and juice, with a nice zeisty aftertaste and primarily sweet.
Maybe it’s the most delicious type of peach there is.
It’s fruit. You eat fruit. That’s basically the only thing you do, with fruit.
I hope this becomes a pattern.
I’m curious to see what Mottom will do now that she’s supposedly doomed. If she’s powerful enough to rule a 7th of the universe and keep that huge palace floating by will alone, you’d think if she freaked out and decided to smash things…she could smash some awfully large things.
The adulation and blood of innumerable young wives will not keep you as warm in eternity as the fury and the flame of Allison.
So chosing King in this context means: Not getting the kingdom, killing a tree, then running away.
The ways of Yisun are wise and also very esoteric.
On the plus side, it is kinda Aesma like. Vagabond without fashion sense shows up at Queens doorstep, gets bored with her ball, murders her husband, desecrates his corpse, insults her, runs away.
This kingdom is a poisoned one, bloated on the fat and blood of stolen lives and stolen worlds.
Better to tear it all up by the roots, let its corpse fertilize the soil, and then grow a better kingdom where it once stood.
She’s just looking for another torch!
Given the continued existence (and in some cases, youthful appearances) of the other Demiurges, there are other ways to extend life. You should have spent some of your millennia in finding a better way than accursed peaches obtainable only through bloodbribes to your husband’s corpse. Now it’s too late.
Everybody dies…
…is a very easy thing to say to someone else. I would very much like to see this turned back on her, because she sure as hell hasn’t been the stoic, resigned type for most of this misadventure. Her wit is hypocritical and more than a little condescending, even if Mottom supposedly deserves it.

For that matter, I don’t think we’ve seen much of what happens to
Allison is YISUN’s memory of dying.
It is for the best, Mother Om
Then Perish
Is it premature, then, to say 3/6000000000?
