The Demiurges will have to capitalize on that by speedbagging the Jaggahog for every second they have.

Gunna be honest, I kinda don't really remember what the whole wheel thing is or why everybody's fighting jagg beyond the fact he's a big scary monster man.

up to this point, every time zoss has chosen a successor, the successor slays all the demiurges but jagganoth, loses to him (or defeats him and becomes every bit as tyrannical as the demiurges, it's not fully clear), and zoss goes "darn" and resets the universe to try again, ie "turning the wheel." after eons of fighting this battle and remembering it every time, jagganoth now believes that this was all engineered by metatron to trap the universe in eternal, sterile recurrence, and has elected this time to rip the power out of the successor's head himself, kill metatron, and unmake/recreate reality. the fact that this will a) result in the death of everyone, everywhere and b) almost certainly not work has not deterred him

Right. Binding him was the combat equivalent of him getting his shoe stuck in the mud. Inconvenient, yes. An opportunity to attack him, yes. But it had as much actual impact on killing him as a game of freeze tag would.

Jagganoth started the war of cosmic annihilation that he had been threatening to start by singlehandedly invading Rayuba, thereby triggering the obligations stipulated in the Pact of the Seven-Part World.

The reason why he wants to destroy the multiverse is complicated. However, he has become aware that Zoss keeps rewinding the universe every time he's about to succeed, because the old man keeps picking successors who fail to stop him.

His reasons are simple. The universe is full of suffering, chaos, and death. He desires to end that misery, and the only way he sees to end the cycle is to end this universe and create it anew as a static, eternal garden.

If you want to end all suffering and pain, you can work towards making life a utopia for everyone for all time.

Jagganoth chose option 2, where you make sure there's nobody left alive to feel pain or suffering. Takes less effort, overall, because you only need to do it once.

Isn't it Metatron that rewinds time back? Zoss mentioned somewhere that he tried to master the wheel but only became a prisoner of it, but I can't find that page now, just the one where Juggernaut blames Zoss for everything.

nah pretty sure there's no confirmation Metatron has anything to do with the time loop outside of Jagganoth just coming to the conclusion that Metatron must be working with Zoss. Zoss being a prisoner of the wheel could easily just mean he's trapped himself in a cycle of resetting the loop without ever getting the result he wants.

This is all very cool but I keep wanting to shout at my screen to throw the loving spear already. It feels like even in universe its been several minutes at least, how long do they need to charge up this attack!?

I have a feeling we're not gonna wait much longer though. Feels like the next page will be the one. Very excited for how poorly this will go.

The next episode is filler so the manga can catch up, so it's just twenty-six minutes of Aspected Chaos screaming and charging up the spear while Nyave and Princess react in the background.

Jagganoth definitely thinks he's the least ruled by ego.

Much like Incubus, he's a fun crux of stagnation and constant ambition; Jagganoth never rests, toiling towards his goal, but he's completely incapable of reconsidering it. He thinks he's forged himself into an egoless weapon to destroy an evil world... but he's still, y'know, placing himself as the god of destruction that will remake it on his own.

Incubus meanwhile is totally aware that he's a hollow rear end in a top hat who knows only violence and the world is a wasteland of rot, but he's gonna be the most powerful and victorious hollow rear end in a top hat in the whole rot wasteland! They both stagnate, but they're both constantly in a kind of motion.
