It's-a me, motherfucker

If Maya does lose, I could see it happening because her revenge is for Meti and not truly herself in spite of what she's said prior to this. I'm also expecting that it won't be the only thing readers will be mad about if that goes down. Bad times have arrived.

when we saw him in his realm, he was emerging from a (freshly filled?) pool of stagnant blood

this does seem to be the Lord of the Pit's preferred fast travel mechanism

I love this because we'd already seen 3 Demiurges 'just' teleport there without much fanfare. Incubus is just an extra bitch.

We have actually, when she shanked Juggernaut. I know this because my husband has only really gotten into this in the last book or so and only reads over my shoulder, so I keep having to pull up old pages so I'm like "Ok, this is auntie maya and here's why she's cool and also here's the page where we figured out she had the key first".

Rayuba City proper seems to have not been too affected by the blast. The crowd of onlookers should better prepare to evacuate and go seek cover on the other side of some big mountain range that's itself behind the horizon as seen from the remains of the Ring of Power.

Instead of materializing guns like some kind of pleb he just turned the entire world into a john wick movie years ago, and there are guns stashed everywhich where.

Jagganoth, the early years before he left Gluttony to Mottom and decided to bench-press instead.
Gog-Agog was already worm-themed but looked more like some sort of Ankou than the jester gal persona.

I get from that figure, with the melting candle on the head and the dripping worms, that this version of the demiurge was basically "walking reminder of human mortality". You know the whole "conqueror worm" thing, whose mere presence screams at everyone to remember they'll be worm food eventually.

You know I argue that crawling out of mud is actually significantly less ostentatious then arriving by a loud-rear end thunderbolt.

I get the feeling he's been hiding in his own domain or at the Concordances for a long time now, considering the only other time we've seen him is hanging out in Allison's head. This might well be the first time he's taken the field and been Maya's chance at revenge.

Actually just a thought about Maya; I'm wondering if the lesson of the rat wasn't realized until after she tossed her Key and Incubus took it. If she didn't want Unlimited Power, she should've made sure nobody else took it...

My favourite thing about Incubus is that he knows he's a peace of poo poo, and that everyone else knows it too. It's why he's so pissed off all the time.

Incubus thinks he’s as good a person as can exist - the only justice in this rotten world, after all, is the power to kill. (Which he said just before Zoss clowned on him.) That’s winning, to him. He sees the inescapability of violence and says ‘that’s why I, a smart person, have dedicated my life solely to violence and do not seek anything beyond it’ - which is truly mastery of Sword Law, even if it sucks.

E: funny Incubus thought, his head is indestructible, because of Head of John. Maybe that also makes taking his keys ridiculously hard, and the others consider that cheating? The cheese strat of demiurge war.
