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

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.”

She probably tested it on someone else first.

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.

The adulation and blood of innumerable young wives will not keep you as warm in eternity as the fury and the flame of Allison.

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!

Everybody dies…

Allison is YISUN’s memory of dying.
It is for the best, Mother Om
Then Perish
Is it premature, then, to say 3/6000000000?

Good fucking riddance.
Ooooooh, those were the fruits of immortality, weren’t they? Now the cycle makes a bit more sense.
But hey! One down, six to go.
It’s hard to search out knowledgeable individuals on this subject, but you sound like you realize what you’re speaking about! Thanks.
