The book looks intact. He could still technically be alive!

Also...it looks like that head wound has gotten smaller. Angel bodies don't regenerate like that, do they?

Pretty sure INGSVLD is alive, just severely inconvenienced.

Uktulkti, on the other hand, has just had his part in the Great Indoor Fight cut short by being turned into cowboy sauce.

Her hand also seemed to be repaired from being cracked by the pointy jerk. I'm guessing maybe the only cracks that don't regenerate may be ones from lying?

Anyways, I'm wondering if this isn't Mathangi's doing. She seems smart, I could believe while everyone else is busy fighting over Alison, she went for the silver medal of what Mottom has in her head, and in her distraught state she might have been a comparatively easy kill. Or, maybe Mottom's just too busy feeling sorry for her newly mortal self to maintain the iron will needed to keep the place afloat.

You can still see the crack, it's just that the sides of it have closed back up so you can't see the glow through it anymore. Same for the crack from lying back in chapter 1.

My guess is that rampant magic abuse isn't healthy for a person's body, which she solved with buttfruits. She's gotta conserve her power now, or she'll disintegrate. Which also means she's considerably weaker and can be a target.

What? Her power comes from the key, which is still safely in place in her head. There's been no indication that using the art degrades the body in any way, Mottom is just really old and needed the fruits to be young. Heck, Mottom is probably still young, she had a lot of fruit before and wasn't starting to grow old again when Allison left. What did just happen is that Mottom had her confidence shattered for the first time in several millennia. I wonder if there could possibly be any connection between that and the palace, which is held aloft only by her will, lurching to the side?

Wasn't it confirmed upthread that his race (a type of servant) is in fact just the book, and he obtained the body by unknown and probably dubious means?

I haven't seen anything thus far to suggest that magic in KSBD is a consumable, finite resource

The true Art, then, is lying to the face of God being able to think about it forever.

I hope this leads to Kierinsaval carrying INGSVLD around and neither of them being happy with it, but they gotta find INGSVLD a body if they want to have their showdown properly.

It started with Pitch Black, a sci-fi movie from the late 90s/early 2000s starring Vin Diesel as Riddick. It did well enough to merit a sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick.

With that in mind, FYAD poster graey alien invented a character who would really enjoy the Riddick series and the character Riddick in particular, and made up a funny post in that character's voice.

Looks like we're experiencing a BSOD (Blue Screen of Demiurge). Unless that decaying SPAK hand is Mottom's.

Which it probably is.

It's White Chain's, I bet. White Chain is winning the challenge Juggernaut Star set and getting to Allison first, saving her life from that rear end in a top hat. Hand is blood-covered because of, well, what happened last page. Could also theoretically be Juggernaut Star's hand because his are covered in blood too, but it's a right hand and he's carrying his wheel in his right.

Juggernaut Star literally cannot interact with things around him except to destroy them. He's decided exactly who he wants to be.

...yeah, in retrospect, f.lux making shades of color difficult to distinguish probably accounts for why I thought that was Mottom's hand.

Yeah I think this sentiment is why i really love juggernaut and the the thorn knights. Like their psychopathic, xenophobic fucks, but their also being super honest about it and just love living a life of contemplating teacups and genociding the multiverse.

Also I'm wondering if Juggernaut is a poor swordsman for enjoying his wheel and using his hands?
