Note Incubus and Jag are not... allies.

Furthermore Incubus is perhaps not planning to betray Allison like many think, his insecurity and knowledge that she is the true heir work against such paths. After all it is likely he thinks it better to be alive and a servant of someone greater than to try to seize it all and perhaps die in the process.

I think it is the opposite, he wants war so he can prove he is worthy of the throne he received by conquering it in a true war across the cosmos. Or:

Well, that nails Incubus' ironic personal failing: crippling insecurity.

A throne that isn't his, taken from another who no longer wants it. So he seeks to prove his worth by shattering the peace and leading his army to war.

I know his spikes make him invulnerable, but do you think Allison and friends can just pull them out of Jagganoth's body then kill him?

That's probably why Jagganoth hasn't gone to war with the other six demiurges yet. They might find a way to pin him down and pull out the nails before killing him.

I'm unsure if Incubus' speech is faltering because he's intimidated by Jagganoth or because saying out loud to himself what Allison is and has has made him reconsider the implications

Yeah, there are ways around contingent invulnerability.

Heck, even if they can't be removed, if they all work together and overpower him in a fight they could just seal him in the middle of a planet's core for eternity or something.

I was thinking it was partially this and partially the reality of his gamble setting in. Every wildlife biologist knows that tigers are extremely dangerous predators, but understanding this in the abstract or seeing one at the zoo is different from being alone in a room with one as it gets up and stares at you.

But seriously, Besides maybe jadis, I'm thinking Jagganoth is going to be the most sympathetic of the demiurges. Like, I feel like things operant has said might imply he has really bad post traumatic stress.

He is canonically a lonely nerd who has never known love. There is no being in all the 777,777 realms who needs to get laid more immediately than Pankrator Jagganoth.

Anyone else realize that Incubus completely pussed out on that page? He didn't just have a realization that he had thrown himself into a cage full of tigers and stuttered.

He originally wanted to get on his throne then changed his mind and went the exact opposite loving direction once Jagganoth had enough of his poo poo.
