So if we're going by backwards logic instead of Mottom wanting Allison to assume her throne, it's Incubus wanting to replace Allison with himself.

If you look at the left side of the second panel, you can see three of the four example losers Incubus showed Allison. Two of whom appear to have chewed through their own lips.

Incubus is a hell of a drug.
The fourth is one of the climbers, panel 2 and 3, with the huge bottle and right armor sleeve.

Specifically very Demon's Souls: world 3, Tower of Latria, at the end features a bridge leading up to a tower which contains a big pile of cups chairs, where you meet a red dude who wants to gently caress up your day.

Underneath it all is a swamp of blood.

i wonder how useful these people are to incubus at this point, they look a bit burned out. on the other hand, he wouldn't keep them around if they didn't have their uses, i think. i doubt he's got a bone of sentimentality in him

Just because he's quite mad doesn't mean he is incapable of thinking strategically. It's likely that whatever else he has going on mental healthwise, Incubus is a master of manipulation, and manipulators don't waste their time with people they do not consider useful.

Theory - he's just as much of a junkie as his followers, but off a slightly different drug, and the burnt-out shells of his former customers are his equivalent of a houseful of empty syringes.

Riiiiight. And Incubus just set himself for an endless supply with Allison.

I don't feel like they are totally burned out, just in slumber waiting to be awakened. Might be a he gives them a dose of glory once in a while and sets them loose at his convenience. It's his own personal army, always wanting more, but only he can give them the means.

What this means for him I have no idea, he probably isn't tired of it like Mottom. Looks like he's having a good time.

I have a question, does Incubus leave his pit? We know he did, but he didn't show up at the summit meeting and so far it seems he is able to project his image across Throne.

The real question is whether Incubus has a supply of willpower (or whatever else it is his followers are addicted to) and is just denying it to them, or if he needs to keep finding new sources before he can juice them up.

It's Jagganoth, the mightiest of the seven demiurges, which by extension probably makes him the most powerful being still around.

Oh and he's thirty-foot tall, suicidally depressed, and wants to destroy creation.

e: Overall pretty swell dude.

Incubus is the divine equivalent of the crazy cat lady who can't support all the cats she has, yet can't stop acquiring more.

I mean he's tottering around in his bathrobe, humming tunelessly and ineffectually shooing them off the furniture. Next scene will be Jagganoth grudgingly driving him to the supermarket so he can load up a cart with economy-size bags of Whiskas, which he will pay for by check in the express lane.

i'm half-considering that jagganoth is just another cosmic crackhead enslaved to incubus who isn't as strong as mottom made him out to be and all the demiurges are in a web of codependence and fear which means that they're all far closer to each other in power than they think but because none of them know the full picture because they stopped talking to each other they all have some conception that there are some among the other 6 working to destroy them

so mottom isn't acting up because she thinks jagganoth will crush them all, incubus thinks his jacked-up body makes him weak and is using jagganoth as a blunt instrument to pacify the other demiurges, etc.

well this update confirms the "jagganoth and incubus are working together" half of this

also hey auntie maya was a demiurge*, wonder how she lost it

Of course, Jagg's and Incu's whole deal here could simply be getting Allison into her rightful place, and getting themselves suitably annihilated by her in the process.

They are referring to the fans who mistook a dull colored crimson demon for an ebon demon, leading the author to decide to change it in later panels.

She definitely did out-drink an Ebon Devil, though. Cio even calls Vladok an ebon while yelling at Allison.
And she didn't do this with any magical help other than her key, because Allison wasted that doll spell.

so she still outdrank an ebon devil, on account of it doesn't matter what the original plan was when the literal text of the comic says he's an ebon

also, dumb fans do not have the power of Royalty and cannot redefine reality, as amusing as that'd be,. If Abb didn't want vlad to be ebon then he wouldn't be
