I like to think he didn't actually know it beforehand and just mastered WC's style from scratch overnight.

Even better. This is the first time he really looked at that fighting style and just from the way WC's body moved at the opening stance, he managed to find out every single technique she might use. He's like a super-taskmaster.

IMO the funniest thing remains that, if Solomon decided to dip out on being Celestial Emperor and pursue his Kung Fu Tao full time like he says he wants to, there would be absolutely nothing anyone could do to stop him. But he's invested so much ego in seeing the Empire he's crafted in his image succeed that he can't let go.

Maybe this is how you make Solomon "bleed". His person is inviolate, but his weakness is his attachment to his empire.

I want White Chain to do the same to Solomon and learn/use Ki Rata mid-match. It'll like explode her body or he'd just turn it around on her again or whatever but surely that'd rustle at least one jimmy

That was my line of thinking which is why I imagine its going to be goggers who fucks him over, the heros can't make him bleed but you could twist his nuts real good if you happened to have the manpower and organizational skills to end an empire overnight like say if you are a big pile of worms. All you'd have to do is go apeshit and plunge it all into chaos while somehow tying him to the spot with like, tournament rules or something. Force him to cut himself.

I think that it's pretty likely that 82 WC won't be able to land a solid hit, but there's a tried and true angel approved technique:

I predict that White Chain will successfully hit Dave in the beard, severing it.

She loses the tournament because that's not blood, but it pisses him off anyway.

My dream outcome is that WC has hidden Eris-Lo Kai's magic mirror in her chest cavity.

When Solomon decides to get real and punches her chest open, his arm goes through the magic mirror and he hits himself in the face.

I think if this is going to end in Worms Everywhere, it's got to start with White Chain managing to do something to Solomon during the fight like actually drawing blood. Something to shake his confidence and distract his perfect smug gaze, for even a second, for Gog-Agog to see an opening and unleash Worms Everywhere.

Or, it turns out that the reason Solomon grew the beard is because it hides his Achilles heel on his chin.

That is a major theme of the comic, yes. Each of the seven has godlike power, but each has been unable to achieve what they actually desire, because they suffer from ego, grasping, or seeing power as its own end. The universe's richest dragon spends all his time counting his money, to the point that he no longer remembers why it was important. Solomon has become nigh-unbeatable in hand to hand combat, and decided that the only criteria for a person worthy to step into his sandals (so that he can move on to what he wants to do) is being able to defeat him. Zoss, the one all the demiurges fear and aspire to, even implies that he was no different: having mastered universal power, he locked himself so thoroughly into its systems (the "wheel") that he could not transcend it. It ended up destroying everything he had built.

This is why I suspect Meti might be the only true Royalty shown in the comic so far. Despite having mastered cutting to the point that it became her whole person, she was able to choose to stop, give up, and walk away.

Well, not entirely. She might have abandoned being a demiurge, but for all that she bemoans living by the sword, she has not given it up.

The seven demiurges loosely represent the seven deadly sins, and Maya is the eighth sin of melancholy; she believes that there is no hope for herself.
