yknow it just occurred to me that when they do finally get to Zaid, White Chain is going to have to try and make Allison hand the key over. and at the rate that Allison is getting Fed Up With This poo poo, i dont think that is going to sit well with her

E: n/m forgot that White Chain told her straight up that she needs to hand it off. still, if she refuses, White Chain is under orders to kill her.

At that point I sincerely doubt that White Chain is going to buy that Zaid is the chosen one (TM)

Maybe Zaid will be dead or insane by the time we get to him, too. We literally haven't seen him since page... five, or something?

I believe Abbadon has said that Zaid and Allison will become friends at some point. I expect Zaid to be surprisingly humbled by this whole ordeal.

Yeah Zaid is going to be humbled.

Zaid, who cast down the old ones, who pulled the secret names of God from Metatron's bleeding lips and wove a key with them, is going to be humbled.

Sure.

I was hoping Zaid didn't really play any role in the story, and he was just a stand in for a damsel in distress.

Why the gently caress do people keep referring to Zaid like he's a character? He's the boyfriend from the beginning and as far as I know has been stuck in a magic bubble this entire time for stupid bullshit prophecy reasons.

That was Incubus, someone else entirely.

Zaid is just a normal dude from Earth who's been mistaken for the king of all creation. He's only important because other people think he is, which in itself does make him somewhat important.

You're right that he hasn't done anything aside from float in place since chapter one.

Zaid is believed by most of the demiurges to be the successor to Zoss.

Zaid is believed by Allison's roommates to be kind of a creep and not trustworthy.

I get the impression that she wasn't really that close to him, especially if Abaddon hints that he's going to end up becoming her friend. Like he was just a mechanism for losing her virginity.

I got the same vibe from him but it would be frankly refreshing if Zaid and Allison's friendship leads them to real romance and not using each other for the status symbol of "Woo, we had sex!" We have far too many stories that act like the road ends at a fork of either friendship or romance.

There's a strong possibility Allison isn't into dudes at all and was just bowing to social pressure, especially in the context of the prototype of Kill Six Billion Demons.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to Zaid's reaction when he gets rescued. Allison is going to be borderline unrecognizable and his last memories are going to be of a giant murdering the hell out of his kidnappers.
