Worth mentioning that the Empty Palms style includes the technique Yisun's Empty Palm, which is meant to be an unbeatable move.

If it was an unbeatable technique why doesn't he just empty palm all the demiurges and bring them to justice? Checkmate.

The chunky angle could end up getting involved in the fight, depending on what their motivation is. Could probably swing it for White Chain.

Probably formerly because of wisdom, restraint and emptiness but as of the last few pages White Chain has apparently decided that is a stupid mantra for idiots.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

Due to some regulatory loopholes, it turned out that while the demiurge war was extremely destructive and horrific, it wasn't actually illegal, so White Chain felt compelled to allow them to murder each other as long as they complied with local noise and traffic ordinances.

Kinda feel like more open communication about this "return the key" business would have smoothed things out a little.

Obviously it's not gonna happen but Allison giving up the key and walking off into the horizon with Cio would be an interesting story on its own. Assuming their relationship could bear the change in Allison's status.

White Chain is really pretending that the Thorns won't immediately kill Allison when she hands off the key.

Also, continues to make the exact opposite criticism of Allison from the reasonable one (that she's a reckless idiot who doesn't think before trying to play hero).

I like how Cio's expression is completely different from Allison's expression, even though the only difference is their eyes. Allison is apologetic, but Cio is really tired with White Chain's poo poo.

Nah, White Chain doesn't care about that, WC's just being an rear end in a top hat because they're jealous of Alicio. The whole key of kings and fate of the universe thing is just an excuse to be a poo poo.

That's likely both a physical impossibility for angels and forbidden by their rules. The entire reason they're allowing White Chain to escort Alison as the bearer temporarily is because she can't just take it herself.
