He did only say 'evacuate the city' and not 'evacuate Rubaya', which is something. Although it's possible the standing evacuation order is to get everyone through the gate anyway.

It also shows that Solomon, despite his many faults, actually cares about his people.

Paramemetic posted:And it would seem super bold of Jagganoth to just go straight for Rayuba while two of the demiurges are there. Let alone 3. Ripe for the harvest that is. I took it as just... his expression and not a literal red glow. I don't think he's showing up but we'll see Neddy Seagoon posted:That's the perfect time to do it if he can eliminate his biggest problems in one fell swoop; Solomon, Janis and Gog-Agog are his biggest threats by a wide margin. exactly

That's what's big, red, and making Solomon freak the gently caress out. What do we know is big, red, and could actually make Solomon freak the gently caress out like that with just an image of it?

Maybe Jagganoth's first strike won't be an invading army but instead tossing moons at planets/cities. I mean just because he's an apparently unkillable giant warrior of doom who forges magical weapons for the end times doesn't mean he can't also appreciate some sort of eldritch rocket boosters for steller destruction or something. Every asteroid a potential missile or something like that.

Jagganoth's whole deal is that he's a super-genius as well as being an indestructible hulk, right? A moon drop seems right up his alley.

Basically the whole chapter has been establishing Solomon as the king of cool, a dude with absolutely unbreakable poise, completely unflappable, always calm and collected.

Abaddon's said that Jagganoth's intended design is to subvert the 'big dumb brute' thing, the clearest picture we have of him from the early days has him posing as The Thinker, and he's the one of the demiurges that deliberately attempts to incorporate high-tech into his armies. I don't know if he's supposed to be a straight-up super-genius, but intellect is kind of his defining advantage among the seven.

If Jagg has genuinely applied himself to self-improvement for centuries upon centuries, he very well may have become an ultra genius by present day.

I mean, yes, this is probably nothing good, but I don't understand what Jadis' deal is. jadis used to rival jagganoth in power and skill, and decided to make use of her talents to envision the shape of the Wheel, which granted her absolute knowledge of everything, everywhere, forever, and also left some, uh, disconcerting physical scars, as you can see (for reference, Aesma envisioned the Wheel and it made her eyes explode) now she's a fatalistic paperweight used as a glorified figurehead by the theocracy built up around her prophecies. anything that compels her to act on her own would have to be unspeakably dire e: abaddon also said that the only thing she wants now is to die, which would probably make jagganoth's omnicidal campaign sound really appealing Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Sep 16, 2020 |

Jadis' deal here seems to be that she brings a dire warning. The glow seems to come from the red runes she can display on her crystal prison, and Solomon takes a few moments to read before sounding the evacuation order.

It's important to remember that universal destruction isn't Jagganoth's goal, but the means to his objective. Of all the demiurges, he's the only one who is actively striving to end the endless cycle of warfare, misery, and destruction. It's just that he's been lead down a dark path by a false prophet and is pursuing an insane means towards his true desire. Even then our understanding of what Jagganoth's wants are come almost exclusively from Mottom's lips, and her worldview is skewed, to say the least.

Renaissance Robot posted:Almost every time we've seen the guy out of his mask he looks super depressed Yup. I think it's because he cannot find any other way to break the cycle. I don't think he wants to do it, but I also believe that he is absolutely committed to his goal and any attempt to show him a different way would likely be viewed as a deception. Edit: also I think his grief is in part because he acknowledges his guilt in the state of the multiverse. As a child soldier, he had horrors inflicted upon him and inflicted horrors upon others. He seems self aware enough to acknowledge his role in why everything is so awful but at the same time his prior experiences and the suspect counsel he received from 2 Michael (and possibly 1 Metatron?) Have skewed his worldview to seeing things as being worse than they really are. A.o.D. fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Sep 16, 2020 |

The demiurges seem mostly pretty unhappy. Mammon and Jadis openly want to die, Nadia was crippled by anxiety before her husband got killed again, Davey seems to have some pretty depressive ennui, Gog-Agog has fun but also doesn't seem happy with herself and constantly craves more. Incubus is a bitter 'lol nothing matters' type and he might be the closest to satisfaction? Which is pretty hosed up because he's pretty far from it.
