funny that he chooses to show himself when incubus is around, mostly because he probably doesn't consider him a threat as he so put it. But also because he probably knows that the rest of the demiurgs don't respect him either and would probably laugh at him for even insinuating that Zoss lives on.

Maybe Incubus will flip poo poo and go screaming to another demiurge about it. Jagganoth probably?

Inky did catch on to the fact that Allison is the True Heir first among the Demiurges, so I guess this is his prize.

My immediate reaction is that he just had some manner of traumatic flashback to his studentship with Meti and it twisted him into a pretzel (mentally) immediately.

Oh yeah, in a world known to have kung fu techniques that make your head (and only your head) indestructible that's probably totally a thing huh

Although if that's the case it would make the whole "carries on existing after dying because gently caress death I rule" thing significantly less cool because it means having his head taken off never actually killed Zoss at all, so I don't know what I want to be true here.

I'm a bit unclear on that: was Zoss presumed dead before the start of the story, or was the incident where Thorn Knights beheaded him in Allison's room told to everyone? Because either way it seems really imprudent to assume you could count on the guy being really 100% dead.

Yeah, I love how he puts the rear end in a top hat in his place in five words as an afterthought.

I mean, the little spiel beforehand ought to have done the trick, but it was for Allison's benefit and Incubus was clearly too busy avoiding an heart attack to properly listen to it. The utterly terrifying (for Incubus) implication that Z didn't cheat death, didn't dodge it, didn't get a resurrection engineered through either sheer badass or contingency plans, he IS dead and simply doesn't give a gently caress about it was ALL for Incubus.

I like how Allison is behaving mostly like an equal towards Zoss. She is asking for help and she is showing him proper respect, but without any fear or being a sycophant.
I'm curious how she'll react next page though.

Or Zoss will seeing as it's been made clear he isn't just in her head.
It could happen, because who could tell Z no, Incubus? Solomon?
But I doubt it, if he wanted to intervene in person he'd have done so already.

Of course, trying to divine Royalty's intentions is a fool's errand (and not the Royalty-achieving kind of foolishness), so this is strictly my opinion; I'd also love to see Salami's reaction, because it would be even less dignified than Incubus'.

If Zoss is just a head at this point (and it might be the case, note the hole in his forehead where the key of kings used to be) then he's giving me real Morag the Immortal vibes.

Note that while that link is perfectly SFW, the Oglaf site as a whole is decidedly not.

Re: Zoss - he'd hosed off prior to the universal war but he didn't actually get decapitated until he showed up in Allison's room. Swolemon seems to be outright stating that the Conquering King is still around on this page.

Inside the prosthetic torso is an imp working an old timey set of bellows plugged into the bottom of Zoss' throat so he can talk.
