I'm pretty sure the choice is gonna be forced on Allison here. The thorn angel will show up and the ensuing fight will result in the destruction of the murder tree. Who knows how Mottom will react though.

So, if I'm understanding the magic system right, the best way to avoid getting PERISH-ed by somebody using the Red-White Art is to believe in yourself, that is to say the concept of yourself, super loving hard?

Also I sincerely hope another big-rear end melee like the one in the last chapter happens in the tree room, where a dozen angry badasses duke it out while simultaneously trying to capture or kill Allison with White Chain defending her while Mottom is distracted by 6 Juggernaut Star.

Thinking about it, I guess Mottom is going to age again and she'll withdraw the offer to give it all up to Allison.

She first mentions the offer as old Mottom so that would not make much sense.

Even Old Mottom sees Ultimate Power as a burden she's not willing to carry.

Even SpeedwagonOld Mottom is afraid of her rivals. There's a facade she has to keep up for the other Six as well as her Court.

For what it's worth I also think that when read all at once Mottom's characterization is pretty consistent across all of her ages. We just previously didn't always have the context to interpret her comments which seemed more threatening at the time. I'm not really sure I buy that her personality is changing here.

I expect even with the magical bullshit in her head, Allison is still a lot weaker than Mottom. I hope Mottom doesn't go all crazy on her for daring to strike her.

I'm not sure if Mottom is mad so much as shocked. Whether she gets mad I think depends on what Allison does next. If Allison keeps pushing forward fast enough, she might be able to drag Mottom along with her.

We have decided to decline your offer of a butt kicking.
Look at how bad her form is. Alison didn't even put her hips into that, and ol' Glory still went down like a sack of rocks.

Edit: I also love the last panel. It looks like everyone, even the dead girl hanging upside down, is staring at Alison.

Some names are powerful for some people, but we don't know for sure that all names arw powerful for all people.

Plus Allison's IMPORTANT name isn't Allison, so Usagi being on equal footing isn't going to hold anything to Kill Six Billion Demons.

That one panel was what finally made me feel a little bad for Mottom. She's just so... broken by this. Shards, held together by glitter glue and silver wire and terror.

I think it's really obvious that mottom turned him into a tree. Didn't think it was a secret.

Yes but no. It isn't specified that he ate their eyes, but Om talks about how his tastes grew more and more deviant and evil while at the same time the panel showed a bunch of statues of women with gruesome scars and eyeballs missing.

No, I just think in seeing Mottom's misery and self-hatred, Allison has had an moment of revelation and the sparks of the key is her resolve hardening as to what comes next.
