The thing we're going to hate is White Chain gets written out of the story as she stays behind to be queen and the prophesied angel that stands at KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS' side is 10 Vigilant Gaze.

I have a feeling that Abaddon set up 10VG with that toga right from the start of this scene just so he could do that.

Also, it stopped raining.

Oh yeah Vigilant Gaze being wrapped in a bedsheet toga makes much more sense now.

Behold, the mighty fires of creation! See how they are wielded to the same purpose a man might use a particularly sharp rock.


I think Abaddon said at one point that the 777,777 have varying sizes? Some might be whole universes, some a single planet with a sun orbiting it, others perhaps even smaller; just whatever its patron god imagined that world to be. I doubt crossing light years of space is much of an obstacle to anyone with a demiurge's power.

A very appropriate quote for today's text

Demiurge4 posted:

AL-YIS-UN

White Chain(UN), now a human, is able to host Cio(YIS) and become a devilskin warrior. A fusion of the white and black flame, Allison(AL) gives her/them the key of kings and she/they become God(YISUN) through fusion, not division.

I realized that right when the fusion happened

Bodies made out of meat tend to stop working in a permanent fashion if your spirit leaves them, so she probably can't pull that trick any more.

We really have no idea what exactly White Chain is now aside from "transcendent". I feel like calling her human or even mortal right now is jumping the gun given that she should still be primarily white flame.

She is wholly new upon the Wheel.

Iirc, when WC declares that she's gonna teach Alison the 49 palms, Cio says she can't learn them, but WC says she can, implying that it's because of her key and the superpowers that come with it.

Unfortunately, WC does not have a key so I think she's gonna have to relearn how to fight (or at least learn a new style)

Definitely got Musashi vibes from that: something to the tune of that if a hundred people are threatened by one man that a hundred people are saved by killing that man; the sword that kills is the sword that gives life.

I actually have no idea what happens next. I assume they still want Zaid back, are they going to have to burn their favor to get him? Is someone dramatic about to happen to bring Rabuya to ruins, such as Mottom koolaid manning her way into yet another demiurge's domain? What's Gog-Agog going to do? Or Gog-Agog? Or even Gog-Agog?

And that's ignoring what Operant said about us hating what happens at the end of this book, a statement made over a year ago which may not reflect the current trajectory.

There's a non-zero chance she just got birthed into being with an innate mastery of Ki-Rata. It could've just been her first breath with a human body of course, but breathing does tend to be significant for Ki-Rata techniques so 50-50 odds.

IDK given the conversation in the void where they show her her reflection it might be that angels have this option open to them its just really rare that they would take it

Anything is possible if you walk the path of Royalty. That opens up the possibility space so completely that we have no idea what she can do (or did) until we see her in action.
