You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?
I am 100% into the idea of WC getting Solomon's key as a sort of last-minute field goal by the good guys to keep this whole fight from being a complete shut-out. It'd also explain quite handily why she didn't get absolutely obliterated the way Allison and Cio think she did, and give the three of them a way to escape before Jagg squishes them the way he did Mottom.

Thinking of it Gog is unique among the six opposite Jagganoth in that she's the only one who wasn't badly owned prior to the fight. Even outside of her biology her "I'll be fine" moment is also about her confidance that her way of life can't be threatened and her outlook is the correct one.

yeah it does seem like the easiest way to kill gog would be to just ignore her and destroy the universe

Jagganoth needs either Allison's key, or all seven OTHER keys to reach and kill Metatron, right?

How the hell is he even gonna kill Gog-Agog

Unless the additional keys allow him to destroy entire universes, how is he ever going to catch up to something so wide-spread and explosively-growing

He must have had SOME idea, if he knows for sure he needs either Allison's key or all seven others...

Didn't Zoss almost kill then spare Metatron before even making any Keys?

It's a very open question what Jagganoth can do with these keys, but he's doubled and now trebled the quantity of Divine Name he's mainlining.

So maybe he doesn't need all of them, he just needs enough.

And of course Zoss did it all without any kind of key; all the original Demiurges rode the lightning without one. So it's not just about having Keys to have power.

Theyre shortcuts to power but they arent power in and of themselves. Its like cosmic magic roids. You still need to work out.



Actually thinking about it its not really stated why the keys are important beside allowing for easy world travel and some unstated power boost. But someone already on the level of jaggs presumably doesnt need them.

So possibly the keys are just a benny from killing some of the only people with a chance to stop him?

You don't have to kill all the worms, you just have to get the one with the key... maybe. I don't really know how you share superpowers across a hivemind.


...but even if that's not an option, honestly Gog's too vain and attention-seeking to stay hidden like they should. Gog's gonna be the one who will end up taking Gog down, even if Jagganoth's the one swinging the sword.

When White Chain was first interrogating Allison she warned her "I know of the fourth syllable of Royalty."

So no, White Chain does not actually possess a syllable of Royalty but even having a glimmering of understanding of it is apparently super impressive and badass feat to try to intimidate someone with.

(Interestingly, the fourth syllable does appear to be Diamond, i.e. Salami Dave's syllable.)

poo poo, I just realized, we could have been calling him Diamond Dave the whole time

I'm sure he has a plan for Gog

I think Jagganoth thinks the seven keys combined (so, the 777,777 combined) equal the power of the master key. If that is what he believes, I think he's wrong.

Jagganoth is explicitly supposed to be feeling the pain of all these hits, he's just physically invulnerable. He ate a sorcerous blast from the witch queen of 1/7th of the cosmos full on and it clearly hurt like poo poo.

Also, he's clearly intentionally tanking all these hits because it fits his world view. Existence is agony and he's the only one with the Will to face up to that and do whatever it takes to end it. Like he could try to dodge, or just run and smash her before she got a shot off, but that wouldn't feed his persecution complex as much as walking straight through her best shot and going I AM INEVITABLE

All of those felt incredibly lame imo, fitting of her shallow values

It's not a dunk after you lose in an incredibly one-sided fight and promptly get turned into paste, it's just sad
