A punch so hard it reverberates through dimensions and realities to pop every worm simultaneously. Would it just be an after-effect carried through the psychic link the gogworms have? Or would infinite tiny portals open with Allison's fist punching through?

Joe Slowboat posted:I also like ‘one Gog trying to wrangle a huge worm body’ because I’m also curious what happens when/if she loses her key and can’t be in multiple worlds at once or however she does it. She was able to do it before she got her key, though she's grown a LOT since then. So it might be a bit harder.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Go look at the latest page, because I think we've gotten a look at a bit more than is being let on about Gog-Agog; She starts off screaming as she forms, but once she coalesces it's like she's talking to someone else. I think there's a singular "Gog-Agog" id bouncing around all those coalesced bodies like she's multiboxing game avatars rather than a gestalt whole, and if she leaves them uncontrolled they go feral or insane. The someone else she's talking to is Solomon David, who just shouted across the multiverse for the group to assemble. Unclear if the scream was from reconstituting, SD, or both.

A not-necessarily-still-canon anecdote Abaddon gave was that basically she ate her homeworld, then a demiurge opened the gate and Oh No Worms, and that’s how she got a Key.

Do we definitively know whether or not killing the Gog/Gogs in Rayuba would actually mean her key is up for grabs? From what I understand the current keys are consolidated from all the keys taken during the previous multiverse war. I'm sure icing the present Gog would get you something but whether or not that means you've removed her demiurge status seems debatable. I always read her as something you'd have to tear up at the roots; any worms anywhere means she's still a threat.

According to that same not-necessarily-still-canon anecdote the collective known as Gog-Agog became self aware when a group of innocent worms was decomposing the body of a girl who committed suicide. That girl's burning will (and desire for approval) was so strong some of it got transferred to the worms. At least, I'm pretty sure what I remember reading. I think it was in an answer on his tumblr, but I can't find it.

pretty sure he bought his key in that he paid people lots of money to kill other demiurges mostly,. not that he gave one guy a bazillion dollars to get 111111 keys, or if he directly bought keys it was little bits at a time. would you rather sell one tenth of a percent of the godhead and live luxuriously forever or get your head exploded by solomon david ?

I always assume that just meant that Mammon bought in on the ground floor and worked his way up from there. No one is going to sell one-seventh of the power of God but you could maybe pony up enough to buy 1/777777th.

My running theory is that he bought it piece by piece over time from demiurges who were feeling the heat too much and wanted out of the war, Mammon being able to offer refuge for a price, kind of a Tupile situation.

As funny as that is, Jadis joined in on dunking on him with her, "stolen throne, wicked ways," accusation at their last meeting, so unless she was just poo poo-stirring Incubus did do something notably different/worse than the others.

Incubus must have been doing something so loathsome that Maya, already questioning what the hell she was doing, looked at him and said ‘just take it’.

I'm pretty sure it's just Maya leaving her Key behind when she left and Incubus stealing that. In that sense, he didn't earn his throne, even compared to Mammon.

Mottom murdered her husband in his sleep, meanwhile, and the others aren't judging her the way Incubus is judged. As far as I can tell, what matters to them is that you took your key, one way or another, rather than it having just fallen into your hands basically.

No one is going to sell one-seventh of the power of God but you could maybe pony up enough to buy 1/777777th. IIRC he funded the Pact of the Seven's team-up to kill all of the other demiurges and split the world up, so them all getting 1/7th of all keys was probably a basic part of the pact. Don't know if he had some keys already before that or if that was what was considered 'buying' it.

The rest of them were all her - remember, they had to fight all the other princes and take their power.

So going back to party chat from a few pages ago, I wonder if they fight Jags in a team sort of way or as individuals getting in each other's way sort of way. I could really see either happening, first one would be cooler as far as fights go, but much less thematic.

I really doubt they're gonna 1-on-1 given they know each of them individually can't take on Jagganoth, but even if they attack at once they'll likely get in each other's way. Ironically, Nadia and Mammon will be the most coordinated since they've been fighting each other a bunch.
