Allison did send actual TEETH flying when she socked Gog, so maybe some of the worms actually transform into non-worm objects like bells and clothes and that staff.
They could also just be tiny maggots knocked loose. Can you imagine how gross Allison's fist must feel? She throws a right, and instead of connecting with cartilage and bone, it sinks into a mass of worms.

The people in the other Demiurge domains love the Gog-Agog show, it shows them how much worse off they could be. They can tell themselves that living as a slave is better than being worms.

Gog agog is basically Nero, a moron with more power than they should have with a legit desire to be friendly to their subjects that's offset by the fact that everyone is terrified of them in person and they don't know why

Even in the real world people worship hosed up things, willingly. If you're an eldritch horror that rules 111111 worlds, you're bound to have willing subjects.

I hope Gog-agog's backstory is still intact. Being powerful enough to kill a demiurge while probably not even knowing what they were nor knowing the true value of what she claimed from them is great.

I love how atypical most/all the antagonists are. Always looking forward to learning more about them. For some reason I thought Goggles would be reserved for much much later. Then again maybe they'll speak for two seconds and then flocks off into the backdrop for literal years.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Maybe if you worship Gog-Agog and follow her commands/etc, you just get to harbor a number of friendly worms, like a tapeworm or something. Then you're mostly fine unless Gog decides she needs your specific location/person to explode - but most of the followers get to live relatively safely because why would she need to be on an onion farm in some random world? But if you decide to fight Gog-Agog, you will definitely be completely consumed by a tidal wave of worms, probably erupting spontaneously from the closest pet/family member/etc.

Gog doesn't realize it, but there is a constant deadly competition to be part of her entourage, because it turns out the safest place to avoid bursting into a pile worms so that Gog can visit someone/somewhere is directly next to the current pile of worms, because she's already there.

Maybe she showers her entourage in all sorts of earthly pleasures or grants them whatever they desire. It's possible that they would be happily willing to serve her in exchange for the small risk of exploding from the inside at any given moment.

Eh, everything we're seeing so far suggests it's an involuntary hivemind, although she seems aware of herself enough to not unintentionally infect anyone (seeing as how she somehow has infested 111,111 worlds, presumably, but not all of throne as well).

Well now, technically she just rules 111,111 worlds, there might not be anything in the agreement about her not spreading some extra worms around as long as they don't take over. After all, I bet Mammon has loans and investments and currency circulating through all kinds of places that aren't technically his worlds, and that's basically the same thing, right? Capitalism is just worms without the benefits.

Rotten Red Rod
Mar 5, 2002

Well, yeah, it's possible that she hasn't infected all of them, but I'd be willing to bet that being what she is, she's technically been to more of her worlds than any of the other 6 (well, more like she is simultaneously at more of her worlds than they have been to). Regardless, she's "The great devourer" and "the sourge of worlds", so I'm betting A) she has no "voluntary" followers (or, like an elder god of apocalypse, all her willing followers are deranged) and B) she intentionally does not - or is somehow forced not to - infect those outside of her worlds (or inside throne). Clearly, she spends a lot of time there, having the paradise dome in Throne and all.

The problem with this is the lack of alt-text and text bits, which are some of the best and most important parts of the story.
