Does anyone even know what Jadis can do in a fight these days? She barely manages to whisper questionably deciphered prophecies while wishing for death. As far as I understand it she was really powerful back in the day, but now not much at all if it comes down to a straight up brawl.

My guess is that at some point somehow her encasement gets broken or shattered and she lets loose one last big suicide attack. Maybe bring in some followers for fodder? I don't think the moral support will amount to much at this point unless it's the answer on how to overcome the current situation.

So far we do know she is in a heavy block and she can teleport. I imagine she has all the powers of a Thwomp, which should count for something.

If I were any good at photoshop I'd put an Xbox controller in Jag's hand. Mom says it's his turn on the Xbox.

On a tangential and morbid note, the common thought that if, for whatever reason, Milwaukee got nuked, they'd target County Stadium/ Miller Park. Why? Almost smack dab in the center of the county.

Yeah, even if Jadis has no other powers than what she's already displayed, that still means she's an omniscient kinetic kill vehicle. Just a giant crystal hammer coming in at the perfect velocity, trajectory, and time to completely ruin your day.

Also? gently caress. This upsets me in a good way, I really want to see Jagganoth lose. And I'm surprised Jadis is showing up to pull her own paperweight, I didn't think she had it in her.

Dave lost his halo in that last panel. Surprised that's when we didn't get Jagg's title card drop.

Would love to see Majin Vegeta fight Jagganoth, they've both nuked stands full of fighting competition contestants!

I have to wonder whether she's not on Jagganoth's side because, while she personally wants to die, she doesn't want it enough to kill the entire omniverse to achieve it.

I wonder how many people Jagganoth has killed just learning to do that little trick.

Also, Solomon David's empire is looking an awful lot like some playset for gods right now. Just playing made up games in the Ring of Power while the next Universal War pops off. What a vain imbecile. I feel like this update more than any other has laid bare just how contemptible the Demiurges are. I always knew it, like abstractly, or in literary terms, but this time I really felt it, bone deep.

Good job, Operant.

Isn't her deal that she gained knowledge of everything but it drove her mad? I could see it ending up that she knows how the war is going to turn out, and she's acting based on the knowledge that Jagganoth's plan is terrible.

I mean, she's been telling people what is going to happen this whole time via prophecy. I think her showing up here suggests her brain is a bit fried but she's still a rational actor underneath that.

It reminds me of the Feared from the First Law books. That dude was invincible on half his body, so only armored the other half.

Wonder if the parallels go deeper, such as picking the wrong fight with the wrong furious dumbass.

I bet the armour isn't even for protection, Jagganoth probably just imbued it with utility this-and-that magic.

I appreciate that jagganoth is kinda hairy and dumpy. Like you can tell sol-dave waxes and poo poo and spends way too long and way too much money on aesthetics, Jagganoth's body is just loving strong and unkempt in any way that dosn't relate to killing people.
