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.

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!

All the irons in the fire.

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.

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.
