Oh cool this comic has a thread. I discovered it about three months ago and I'm pretty :stare: about this whole thing.

Personally I hope she goes for the nuclear option over this bullshit.

The whole universe around the comic is pretty well done, is there a good resource to peruse to learn more about it? I want to know why the angels have numbers and how Earth has escaped notice so far.

So are all the universes infinite or can they range from infinite to the size of a meadow with a tree on a hill?

Everything is division, right? The first god divided himself, then the next two divided themselves and so fourth. Somehow that ended up in an indivisible number (sevens) but crucially, the wheel was built and so is probably itself part of a division.

Each universe is a story told by a god. Ys-Voya was a god(dess). A universe that is Birds.

God said let there be light, said a bunch of other stuff and then he died and his essence empowered the garden of Eden, allowing it to become Earth.

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.

Soon to be 7* Juggernaut Star.

Allison burns the tree-husband. Mottom loses her poo poo and they start a fight, PERISH doesn't work. Something explodes, the two angels show up and thorn dude falls in love with Allison and now the party has 4 members.

Looks like she figured out how to harness Power with a capital P. That was sooner than I was expecting.

I think this is more the power mirroring her intent. She uses a strike of white lightning which I assume is meant to represent pure, unrefined power and she's just winging it.

The other Demiurges use their powers more subtly.

I noticed she stands counter to the big red dude. Is it likely that she will steal Mottoms power and become a Demiurge by murdering Mottom and toppling her throne? (throwing down her castle)

Cutting is inherently destruction and reduction. When you cut the world into shapes you reduce or divide it each time. When is one of these gods going to start creating things?

'What if, like, the power was inside me all along?'

Edit:6 Juggernaut Star Scours The Universe is the most ridiculously metal name ever. I love everything about the angels in this universe.

Demiurge4
Aug 10, 2011

So wait. All these people's names are prophecies or predictions right? So what is the implication of White Chains name? Allisons powers manifest as white lightning, a white spear, white fist etc. What if White Chains name is symbolic of her (it) being tied to Alisson's destiny?

The hand could be White Chain's covered in blood, but the color matches Mottom's skin and it could just be her youth peeling off again.

It's not, but it's possible for a death in the real world to trigger a void-death if it's sudden and damaging enough, which accounts for most of White Chain's most recent resets. This might count, but I'm not expecting it, I think we'll be stuck with Jugs causing trouble for a while.

I dunno. Jugs literally got sundered in twain. I doubt that cutting an angels body with the angel inside doesn't mean it's spirit got cut too.

He didn't just get by by being an angel, though. Even among angels, he's a straight-up monster, as evidenced by him becoming leader of the most violent angel faction via violence and still not managing to die that often. White Chain is an 83, and even she hasn't seen anywhere near the level and intensity of combat that Juggernaut Star has. I get that there are bigger players out there, like Jagganoth and Metatron (and most of the tougher demiurges), but Juggs feels like a tough mid-boss rather than a starting jobber, if you get me.

I'm not surprised that Maya obliterated him. She's had Really Bad News written all over her from day one, and is placed opposite freakin' Jagganoth in the prophecy. I'm just surprised that he didn't really get to do more first.

Hey he completely wrecked that one teacup.

I'm kinda hoping Allison ports herself right back into the middle of her roommates.

I was hoping for that to happen too, preferably along with 82 White Chain for maximum hilarity.

There's actually a french comic about a kid with no arms or legs kicking rear end with psychic powers: Alef-Thau. It's part of that wave of weird sci-fi comics that started in the 70s/80s like the Incal.

French comics are crazy. When I was a teenager I read a whole bunch that got translated to Danish that I found in my library like Darkmoon Chronicles, Meta Barons, Wake, Gipsy and a bunch of others I don't remember. I have tried on and off to find them online but most of them are out of print which is sad.

Speaking of crazy French comics, is there a thread for locating comics you don't remember the name of? There was one series I read about a generic hero guy, an old man and his two magical daughters going on adventures with their pet troll.

Contacted them to find out it's been sold out, and they're getting restocked either end of this month/early next month.

That sucks dude. I'll have to pick up a few copies for Christmas but I think I'll have them sent to my mothers address in Denmark.

It's honestly a good way to bring the drama down a little bit after this 'OH poo poo gently caress poo poo poo poo poo poo' chapter. Give Allison a chance to calm down and try to deal with her weird angel and demon friends and introduce her soon to be conquered Earth.
