Where are you getting "stop destroying things" from his speech? What he's saying is "if you want to break things properly, you have to stop trying to pretend you can control it or do it by yourself."

Or, in other terms: Pride is the enemy of Royalty.

We have no reason to believe entropy exists in this setting. The Flame is Immortal.

However he's definitely telling her to stop the cycles of violence that have made heaven rotten and choked with corpses.

We don't have reason to assume it doesn't. YISUN divided, then lots of gods showed up, then everything went to poo poo, then Zos, then Galactic War, then Demiurges. I mean, its not exactly out of reach

I feel the same way, but a) it's better to end webcomics before they become an endless slog or peter out and b) this chapter has felt incredibly long and has been chock full of unexpected turns. I have confidence that Abbadon has a plan that will be satisfying in the end, and after he's done there's always that tabletop RPG set in the same world to continue developing....

All acts of "creation" as presented by the founding mythology of this setting are destructive. The creation myth is in fact the destruction myth. The wheel was made by cutting. The wheel continues through destruction. Royalty as an act of continuous paring down of the self is a lie.

you can cut and cut and cut, divide and divide and divide, but in the end you're going to be left with nothing but an indistinguishable mess. A pile of loving muck of no real distinction.

Royalty is a continuous cutting motion


Because physics is just a made up thing and getting in trouble is a fake idea, you can easily end up with more than you started with if you cut it just right.

It will specifically be someone who isn't Allison. Probably White Chain, with Gog-Agog then stepping in to make the situation even more chaotic.

I don't know what the dynamic is like in your RPG group, but in ours only 2/4 were familiar with the setting and the other two rolled with it pretty easily. That said our main dynamic is that all 4 of us prefer playing to running so if somebody even implies they'll run the next campaign they get pounced on.

Technically the only demiurges she hasn't seen yet are Jadis and Jagganoth. Incubus and Gog-Agog took the initiative to meet her, while the took the initiative for Mottom, Mammon, and Solomon.

I still feel Allison getting the key by mistake would be a very on-point reveal. Zoss fumbling the pass would be a move with him not being in control, and Allison seizing a "destiny" that wasn't her fate is very on point for Royalty. Zoss's greatest achievement being loving his own plan up at the 1 yard line, but still trusting that people other than him, outside of his control, can achieve things with the help of others—that's what I'm here for.
