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.
Allison just broke the 6 versus 1 stalemate wihtin the Demiurges.
Following the Player Character handbook to a ‘T’ there, girl, good on ya!

That “What did you doooo” reminds me of Zeniba from Spirited Away when she freaks out and starts breathing fire at Haku.

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!

One who gets over death has little left to hold her back.
All hail AL-YIS-UN!

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?

I JUST REALIZED!

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
