Incubus sitting at the cool Demiurges' table for the first time and everyone's smirking until Mottom asks if he needs a grownup to cut his meat for him.

rndmnmbr posted:"Will that make you happy?" In all sincerity, this is one of my candidates for what the question was. The others being: "And then what?" "And will that save the rat?" "And who will topple you then, little god?" I enjoy that it's currently left open-ended while Meti gets to keep playing Sword Diogenes.

Whatever it is, I suspect it won't have the same effect on Allison, who doesn't actually want anything to do with being a warrior or a demiurge.

Maya got owned like nobody has ever been owned before. We will not know exactly what the question is until Allison asks it to Jagganoth (or maybe Metatron), and in doing so immediately defeats them.

Hah, I've been saying for years that Incubus is probably the best swordsman in existence, but is terrible at cutting. Now Maya is demonstrating he isn't even that. Ten blows, how extremely embarrassing.

Lol more pages of people earnestly trying to guess the question is gonna be funthe holy poopacy posted:God drat, that face Incubus makes is something else. Weird moment of humanity from him (he got better, apparently.) I interpret it as him finding Maya's reaction pathetic. He probably slaughtered Meti minutes later. Edit: I didn't catch this before, but the text below the last 3 updates have been teachers, in order, passing down knowledge. Gälde ten Bilong to Ryam, Ryam to Ryo, Ryo to Meti: “Listen, closely, pale worm. Our only goal here, and indeed, for the rest of your miserable life, is to learn the cut called Quelling the Breath of Man. It is the most superior sword technique in the Seven Cities and will win you every battle if done properly. You must resolutely study this cut. Your life, as mine, is no longer your own. You have now become a blade, and the hearts-hilt of this blade is held by his Grace, and when he swings it you will kill any number of men that he wills dead.” – Gälde ten Bilong, sword god of the Lunar Kingdoms, to their student Ryam “Here is a cut I call the Life Cut. It is adapted from my ancient master, who roamed the world when it is young, and taught it to me in a different and weaker form. Listen, whelp. I have improved upon her fragile schemes. Where once my sword hand was held by my master, this cut has a secret art that can roam and strike him. It is the most important thing I will teach you – the blade that cuts its own wielder.” -Great Blade Hermit Ryam to his student Ryo “Listen well, peasant girl. The time is long past I teach you the ultimate technique, as I have promised. The only thing you must understand about this technique is it is purely for killing. This is the cut of no cuts, the form of no form. It doesn’t have a name. There is no school it belongs to. There is no master it belongs to, not even you. There is no purpose it belongs to. It is a poisonous technique, the product of a thousand venoms distilled from one master to the next, back to the line of the Gods. All my master used it for is stacking corpses, and his master before him, and his master before that, and that is all you shall use it for as well.” -Ryo, to his student Meti. Each one refined the technique more and hated it more, it seems. Rotten Red Rod fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Apr 14, 2023 |

each quote also strips away the pretension and grandeur of the technique, until all that's left is the Cut kind of similar to devils and their names

I'm going to go for the softball prediction for The Question and say that it's the kind of existential question that really only poses a threat to those who have deluded themselves into believing that they are on the proper path, but not so much so that they are incapable of introspection: "are you truly happy?"

It's something along those lines since it inflicted massive psychic damage on Maya but didn't bother Inky at all, since he doesn't believe in anything other than himself. Which means it would probably work really well on Jagg.

Incubus probably used a null sword to be a petty rear end in a top hat, even trying to make a point he owns himself.

Rotten Red Rod posted:I interpret it as him finding Maya's reaction pathetic. He probably slaughtered Meti minutes later. I think there is genuine pity in there too, it's hard to read it as pure contempt. Despite his atrociously bad name I don't think he had hit rock bottom at that point. He seems to genuinely admire Maya and Meti; there's a reason he hadn't made his move until then, and why it took him so long to make his move afterward. I think it's the cognitive dissonance of witnessing such weakness from one of the few people he recognized as a superior that finally broke him. His inability to beat Maya was a sore point in the present day exchanges with Jagganoth, but I think it was eating away at him even while she was missing. I think this also colors his interactions with Allison. He repeatedly gives her second chances when he could easily have swooped in and taken the key. He wants to build her up into Maya 2.0 because he desperately wants to prove Maya wrong by shaping an even stronger Maya who doesn't run away crying, because then that proves he was right all along.

I think this is the first time Meti's been show as looking even remotely happy? Possibly when incubus first cut all his hair off? Just absolutely pissing herself with genuine demented glee at her 20 year plan to absolutely own some girl by teaching her forbidden murder arts so she can see how terrible it is dedicate your life to forbidden murder arts, because apparently her teacher living in a bin and constantly straight up telling her "do not do this, my life sucks" wasn't a clue. Between them Maya and Incubus have probably killed like... multiple worlds' worth of people using her lessons. Meti is absolutely loving bananas

It’s a funny point of comparison - she decapitated him immediately in their fight and she still says he thrashed her within an inch of her life. Incubus just can’t seem to decapitate her, but he still seems to win the fights. He’s an exceptional swordsman in a very strange, bad way. Honestly, at this point… I think there’s a decent chance he doesn’t want to kill her. Incubus has nobody else in the entire cosmos that could possibly understand him, and he was apparently happy to be her second in command for a very long time. Coming after her family like this, I could easily see it as him trying to kindle that flame in her again, in the most hideous possible way. Ten blows and failing to decapitate is also just stretching the limits of credulity.

weird that stinky in the meti scene seems actually somewhat concerned? worried? there's a seed of anger but that's not the core of what he feels. Hard to tell if its generally an artistic rendering or if he was there for the convo and heard The Question, and what his answer/takeaway from it would beMagnus Manfist posted:Meti is absolutely loving bananas yeah she tells some killer jokes, no wonder she was busting a gut ThatBasqueGuy fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Apr 15, 2023 |

Given that Meti asked the Question in response to Maya boasting about conquering the world, I am reminded of the questions that the man who would be Jagganoth posed to future corpses Pale Bolt and Dark Cloud earlier in the chapter.
