I like to imagine Allison's flipping the bird at Mottom there. A wreathed in heavenly fire bird.

Aye, I could easily be wrong. I just figured that maybe Mottom would be happy that a new player has emerged that is at least strong enough to resist her will. Someone who can stunt on her could possibly be able to break the status quo(blocking Jaggonoth) that is making her current life so unhappy. In any case, we may see in the next comic (which should be the last of this book, apparently?)

Allison is the inevitability of time. The Demiurges' have spent their lives stopping time, built their existences around it. Their very beings. They've spent so much to build an unchanging universe. But it couldn't last, it had to all crumble. Zoss knew that. That's why he gave it all to Allison. Allison is the inevitable ruin of all things. And she can't be stopped.

I could very well be wrong, what with Abaddon saying the Seven Deadly Sin motif is just superficial, but the fact that Maya's love of noodles and the fact that she wears orange, a color associated with gluttony, means she's going to take Mottom's place. Even if she doesn't join the remaining six, she's at least going to take her key.

If anything she's supposed to be the Hopeless Boss Fight that shows the protagonist his/her fighting skills are woefully lacking compared to the big players and the best they can do is escape for now.

I think in Allison's case, every boss is going to be a hopeless boss fight, only winning through blind luck and being underestimated.

Sheogorath posted:I don't think Mottom is dead/dying or even terribly disspointed in this outcome. She was pretty clear about the fruit being the only thing keeping her alive (hence her statement to Allison about finding something else to extend her life). So as far as she knows, she'll be dead soon. I'm not saying she couldn't find something, but her window is really small at this point judging by how fast she's aged in the last few pages and I'm doubtful that she'll pull something out of her rear end at the last minute. E: welp, guess I'm wrong on that point.

Mottom seemed confident she'll find another way to stay alive, so I no reason to doubt that, though she might have to hurry up and do it. Maybe she'll suck the life out of maidens directly. I can imagine the matter giving Allison and crew some respite rather than having her hot on their heels forever.

Mottom also had boatloads of that fruit stocked up. She's got some time to figure out what she's doing.

My guess was that they all had to figure out their own means because they were all at war with each other so no collaboration = no shared standard. I'm assuming that each one of the Seven has a method of cheating death that is disturbing and ties into their "symbolic vice" or whatever.

We already know what Solomon David's method is.Phy posted:Solomon David achieved his immortality through the twin disciplines of Lookin' Good and Feelin' Fine. That said, I wonder if he is the same David from Allison's universe or if all the "Earths" across the multiverse are just share varying degrees of similarity and another king David managed to ascend.

Unless those guards really did join up with the gang and it is just a revolving cast, as long as it adds up to 108.

I figured the nails were a (relatively) new thing, given that the imbalance of power between the seven seems to have only recently become so skewed.. He may have had another method before that.

Yeah, the impression I'm getting is that she went from so powerful that she may well not have needed a method of immortality (unless her witnessing the shape of the universe happened within what would have been her "natural" lifetime) to so weak and shattered that she'd rather be dead. And yes, Jadis wants to die; I quoted that from the Tumblr account in here somewhere.

paranoid randroid posted:so if understand this, things like Mayas sword work on the principle of her wanting something to be cut in half enough for it to happen, right? I think in some Buddhist schools of thought the physical world is basically illusion. So it's basically like they're in the Matrix. Technically there's nothing stopping you doing that big jump between building/ chopping an angel in half, the limits are in your own mind. But we're all so deeply embedded in the illusion of the world that kicking free of those limits is a supreme effort of will/understanding. So the art of cutting and Aesma's Want is momentarily managing to focus your entire being so absolutely on a single thing that you completely abandon the illusory limits holding you back, basically just by forgetting about them. Enlightenment/ Royalty would be what's implied at the end of the first Matrix - permanently maintaining that state of fully understanding that nothing is real and there's nothing holding you back.
