What's really cool about this is that this isn't in Zimmy-vision or taking place in more-lovely-than-normal alterna-Birmingham. This is taking place in reality. Whatever Zimmy sees Kat as is exactly what Kat is.
... Kinda. She just fried a whale packed with etheric energy which just dispersed. So this might be, I don't know, how the robots see Kat being forced into reality as long as the smoke doesn't clear?

Bonus, page: Robot and the Robot King's crew reinterpret this scene as one of great victory for the orthodox worship of Kat The Angel. The Seraphs hang their head in shame, boxbot is still terrible. Amen.

Even though she's obscured by quite a bit of smoke here, I'm pretty sure this is happening in front of, like, the entire grade of kids. I hope everyone sees her and not just Paz. That would make things interesting.

I know it's a trick with the smoke, but Kat seems to just...Stretch out indefinitely behind herself. Like a video game character model that goes insane, it just keeps going until it's nothing but blurs and lines.

All hail the Infinite Kat.

Kat is Anja's "safe location" for that super-etheric-computer thingy. Now that I think of it the symbols in the last panel could be a brain and a heart. Especially since earlier in the chapter Annie talks about everyone having their special gift.

This is my theory and I'm sticking with it :colbert:

no i'm pretty sure that's exactly what's happening there, no joke. why wouldn't a god's manifestation appear to be infinite?

i prefer the idea where kat is simply so good at what she does that being in the right place and the right time can/will/has already caused her to become something more than human

I kinda like the idea that Kat's experiments end up making the robots truly alive/capable of dying, and this is their belief retroactively turning Kat into a god.

Remember that this is what Kat has looked like for awhile. Zimmy said this was what she saw when she looked at Kat and it terrified her.

I think the theory that she's where Anja's computer is has some merit, although that'd be a little hosed up. Either way, this isn't JUST how the robots perceive her, it can't be. It's connected to the Ether and it has to have some deeper underlying cause.
