Sword training with Maya, yes. Martial arts training with her agender cop girlfriend, not necessarily.

incubus just gave allison's ambition a kick-start and put it in charge of her actions

having accepted her ambition in an incredibly gay inner mind sequence, allison no longer seems like shes tweaking but i cant say for sure incubus didnt leave something behind 'just in case'

Incubus is literally named after a type of horrible demon that seduces women to lead them to a horrible end, there's no way there wasn't a catch or plan or something behind what he did. It might be subtler than we'd expect, though.

I think this was the catch? Like, he wanted an effective and efficient Alison, and that means one who has taken charge. This alison seems better able to manifest a propper crown, so this is presumably his plan?

and then kill him herself, for trying to gently caress her over

Incubus seems to want to shake up the old order so he and his buddy Jag can kick some rear end and take over more of creation. Helping Allison get started on her path to royalty probably looked like a great idea at the time but I think whatever traps or back doors or whatever else he has going on are going to blow up in his face.

I’m pretty sure we already saw the horrible twist in Incubus’s gift. Al-YISUN was just kingly enough to rebalance herself and make that power truly her own.

You're probably right but I still think there's something else he did, and he's gonna regret all of it.

doubtful considering the demiurges are heavily implied to fear his power. just a giant elephant man heavily breathing down their necks, waiting for them to gently caress up.

No, she’s going to offer him some noodles, and he’s going to interpret it as some elaborate assassination attempt and keep trying to bring her down until she kills him by accident.

The Middle Army is a thing of the past. Noodles are the future.

Jagganoth's made no secret that his goal is extermination rather than conquest. I think Incubus is driven more by an inferiority complex he's trying to prove he doesn't have: by teaming up with Jagganoth to set off a new universal war, he can prove he's strong enough to be a legitimate demiurge when he doesn't get annihilated by the other demiurges/the Successor/the invincible, genocidal elephant man.

Which makes me think he doesn't have a back door, because that kind of underhanded trickery is an Incubus strategy, and the insecure man tries to be what he's not. He's gonna fistfight a hurricane because he can do whatever Solomon David does.

Higgledy-Piggledy Whale Statements



I agree with the idea that Incubus doesn't have a back door. Or rather, I think his back door is "I gave you literally exactly what I promised to give you, I have done nothing to hurt you and everything to help you claim the throne. Killing me would be stupid." And this may actually work! Allison is going to hesitate to murder someone who's dealt with her honestly and seems fully prepared to step aside when she beats Jagganoth.

Meanwhile, he's been completely straightforward with Jagganoth too: He told the Red God that he expected the heir to put up a fight. Incubus is playing the two apocalyptic threats straight, it's everyone else he's lying to.

You have to admire how terrible his strategies are, though it does make sense: He's clearly not very powerful as demiurges go in a physical confrontation, but he also is clearly uniquely capable of projecting himself into minds. Sending one huge dangerous idiot to murder the other huge dangerous idiot sounds like his specialty.

Didn't Incubus get his key from Maya originally? Buy it or something? (could be remembering something incorrectly)

What if he unknowingly has some backdoor in his own mind that she left in there somehow only to reveal it during [dramatic moment]?

Mammon bought his key, but I don't think we know the specifics of how Incubus acquired his.
