I love how everyone is assuming that she's not the actual heir. Oh, it's obviously her boyfriend, right?

Also, the RPG needs better stat names for the first few. "Strength" and "Skill" are lame, but "Wrath" and "Art" are cool.

I've been enjoying this comic, but... what does "demon" actually mean in this context?

Demons are beings born of the Hot Black Flame, one of the four pieces of God. They are typically violent and destructive and crave conflict. Mortals summon them into existence by giving them masks and many names, which define them and limit them. As they make deals and grow in power, they gain finer masks and fewer names, which make them stronger and less limited, though they tend to change drastically over their existences. Ebon devils, the rarest and most powerful, have only one name.

e: Oh wait, that's devils. Probably the same.

So what's that alt-text supposed to mean? That 6 Juggernaut Star actually wants to get rid of all the Demiurges and install a new King? If I'm interpreting things right, the Breaker of Divinities is Zoss and it seems like 6 Juggernaut Star was the one to have struck the finishing blow as the Thorn Knight who lopped his head off looks like 6 in armor.

No, Zoss killed the gods, and became Royalty himself.

Well the Angels are made from the Cold White Flame, order in its harshest form, as opposed the chaotic Hot Black Flame which the Devils are made from. It stands to reason that they are unchanging without their armor to help them experience the universe, just as the Devils are formless without a mask to define them.

-What does a demon need to do to "improve" their name, once they have a single one remaining? One of the background red demons says that they used to be a gold one before their name "grew old" and Vladok seems interested in improving his, so it is possible.
-How does thst Sphinx guild master fit in this cosmology?

Devils probably cheat a mortal out of their own name in a deal.

Preem Nand is a Servant who summoned a Devil into himself for more power because he's crazy.

His first appearance, but it was barely red so everyone thought he was an Ebon and Operant rolled with it.

Solomon David is my favorite demiurge b/c all the others we have seen are these grotesque weirdos — and lets be real, theres no way a guy called "Incubus" isnt also going to be mondo grody — and David is just this haughty guy in a chair.

e. also i just realized that White Chain's "be not" mantra they use when wrecking Preem Nand's creepy doll-devils in Hell 71 is a reference to angels in the bible saying "be not afraid".

White Chain isn't saying that, it's leaking out of their shell of its own accord. They cracked up a bit when they lied to Preem Nand.

yeah the impression I get is everything's all medieval-style not because they're super backwards compared to us but because they use magic and slaves to do everything we do with machines better so why bother

that city coulda been all Star Trek gleaming skyscrapers until Mottom came along

And there's a lot of things machines can't do. You can't take them into the void without vast expenditures of magic or attention, so it's muscle power all the way. Luckily there are servant races that exist for this specific purpose.

The only group of angels who hasn't made a play at controlling White Chain are the petal knights. We don't really know what their deal is, but given that the Thorns just killed one of their own I'm expecting them to show their hand soon.

Probably something like "gently caress the law let's get rich and wasted".
