I feel like she could have just smashed the worm, but then Gog would have pulled out another one. Gog is not short on Worms, the only way to do this was to play Gog's game. Gog presented it as a contest for "Who gets to eat the worm", and that's what Allison did.


as far as absorption. Allison has achieved Royalty, which in KSBD-verse is largely a manifestation of Willpower. She had the Willpower to resist the Maybe Sword and defy fate, so she's got a pretty decent chance of keeping herself going, or at least bullying Gog into working with them from inside the worm-mind.
