Ah, yeah, I guess Metatron's power wouldn't be proof against the power of the guy who kicked Metatron's rear end.

Where did Inky get teleported to do you think? Or is he now fusing with Jaggs to form giant man counterpoint to giant voltron of ladies?

He hasn't been teleported anywhere. He stabbed his sword into Jagganoth, and there was a huge magical explosion. That's it.

OK, glad you are on top of what is happening. He just didn't seem to be surrounded by Jagg guts is all.

I mean, he's still outside Jagganoth in the last panel where he's visible. His sword sinks into Jagg's chest up to the hilt (surrounded by mystical energy), we see him open his eyes in surprise as the energy flares around him, and then everything goes boom.

I thought it was quite clearly conveyed?

Well, they definitely managed to hurt Jaggs, which is not something anybody expected to be a thing that can happen right up until a few seconds ago.

Characters in fiction who have "can't be harmed" as one of their defining traits tend to die the first time somebody manages to hurt them, though I'm hoping that isn't what happens here. If he just drops dead right here, it feels like something important would be missing from the narrative.

I assume if Jaggs dies it will be followed immediately by unveiling a bigger, badder threat so I think the narrative won't suffer much.

I figure Jaggs is going to be so hosed up by getting smited and it actually working that he'll gently caress off to regroup/yell at metatron or something.

Jaggs is prepared to just deal with it and I'm certain he cannot be defeated by getting stabbed to death.

Maybe he will be tethered to the spot in a way he can't break out of, continually taking 7,777,777 hp worth of pain at all times, but he won't be harmed by it, I think the nails are real.

Maybe the fight for rubiyah is to get to jagganoth and release him or prevent him from being released, and if it is then the rest of his forces are going to continue trying to get things ready for his plan, because these people are hard as gently caress.

We already have the bigger, badder threat lined up: Universal War.

I'd be surprised if that's what happens on account of that being such a solid Worfing as to be a bit cliche, but we can be pretty sure that if Jaggs goes, we're in for a goddamn ride.

Book 3 and Book 4 had 10 and 11 chapters, respectively, and this is almost the end of chapter 1 of book 5. Granted it was quite long, but I think we have a lot of story to go.

White Chain literally said that he was being hurt, just not injured, and he was a level beyond the other demiurges. With all of the discussion of how internal vs. external kung fu bullshit works how is he not just powering up for some massive thing or other

(Setting aside the fact the explody bit in the final panel has an element of Allicio-in-Chain's rainbow bullshit involved)

I'm sure this is going to turn out to be somehow Just As Planned by Jagganoth. He's explicitly the only one who's been preparing for this while the others have been loving around, he's chosen this moment and this location after literally centures or millenia of planning and prep. Other than whatever's going on with Allison none of this is a surprise, it's what he expected to face. It's a loving rad sequence but there's no way he's just gonna go down to a big combo attack and go "oh well it was worth a shot".

Or Jaggs is a big red heel who is getting jobbed, because he was setup by Metatron to get jobbed and he says as much when he teleported onto the planet.

OK I am seeing that now. Before I was seeing his massive velocity continuing to carry his body into Jagg's body as well. I didn't see an indication of a sudden stop.

LYRICS:
Beast Jungle, The Hellpit, ooh our lives are forfeit
At The Purple Cloud Temple, feel the heavens tremble
Lost City, The Tower
Man, I want that power
The Hellpit

Off the Emerald Bell Keep
There's a place called Yaru Gol
That's where you wanna go
To get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Cannon fire from the Red Hand
We'll be dying in droves
At the whim of the strategic plan
Down in Yaru Gol

Beast Jungle, The Hellpit, ooh our lives are forfeit
At The Purple Cloud Temple, feel the heavens tremble
Lost City, The Tower
Man, I want that power
Ooh I wanna take you down to Yaru Gol
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Yaru Gol

The Mines, the Heap, that Ardenweald mystique

We won't hesitate
To sell our lives and seal our fates
By and by we'll arrive
At the twilight of a dying age
We'll pick out a side
Fight for Bastion or the Pyre
The threat of world genocide
Give me a tactical combat high
Way down in Yaru Gol

Beast Jungle, The Hellpit, ooh our lives are forfeit
At The Purple Cloud Temple, feel the heavens tremble
Lost City, The Tower
Man, I want that power
Ooh I wanna take you down to Yaru Gol
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Yaru Gol

The Coast, the Burn, I want to have my turn

Everybody knows a little place like Yaru Gol
Now if you wanna go to watch the universe fall
Go down to Yaru Gol

Beast Jungle, The Hellpit, ooh our lives are forfeit
At The Purple Cloud Temple, feel the heavens tremble
Lost City, The Tower
Man, I want that power
Ooh I wanna take you down to Yaru Gol
We'll get there fast
And then we'll take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to Yaru Gol
Beast Jungle, The Hellpit, ooh our lives are forfeit
At The Purple Cloud Temple, feel the heavens tremble
Lost City, The Tower
Man, I want that power
Ooh I wanna take you down...

I’m voting for some sort of seal getting broken and him getting a new character design that’s a hundred times more complex... not based on story or lore but because Abaddon has yet to see an opportunity to do that and NOT take it, when instead he could add a thousand limbs or ribbons or a new army in a glorious act of artistic self-flagellation
