Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Yes.
TBH, the very fact that the Demiurges want to give the key to Zaid should be enough to say he shouldn't get it.
Given those 2 choices, from what we've seen of Zaid, the choice is easily Allison.
That's not to say Allison SHOULD get it in a void.
The problem is that it seems to be a binary choice strangled by prophecy. The only question is how you interpret the prophecy, and the ONLY interpretations possible seem to be either Zaid or Allison.
'Somebody else' or even 'nobody' doesn't seem to be an option.Last edited by Olinser; 2020-01-17 at 10:52 PM.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
I mean he is there and he's expected to keep the fight contained, so I don't think that complaint is entirely fair - it's reasonable for Allicio to depend on that fact.
Just kicking the arena out beneath people's feet is the simplest way to remove them from the competition.
It does also highlight the staggering difference between Solomon and everyone else though.

I mean, I'm honestly not sure. The universe is clearly a dreary place and only getting worse, and to look at things you do have to start wondering if Alison is the person going to make it better. At the same time, she really may be the destined heir who can work at fixing some of this **** despite the horror and violence that she seems to leave in her wake.

Allicio? Is she a split personality JoJo villain
I never said White Chain is in the right. But keep in mind, everyone pushing White Chain about the key, is an Angel. So much more trustworthy than a Devil (ancient evil), or a human (ancestor of Angel killer).
Knowing the universe, violence is inescapable, should mean life gets worse.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
This 100%.
This is the way I see it:
Violence in KSBD had two meanings: Harm or Will.
You can even look at the two in the grid and align it with the Temperature / Color grid of the four groups of Inheritors:
White Flame (ANTI-WILL) Black Flame (WILL) Extreme Temp (Cold/Hot) (HARM) Protectors Destroyers Moderate Temp (Cool/Warm)(ANTI-HARM) Sustainers Perceivers
As such you can guess the average (there are always exceptions)way each of the four inheritors are going to act.
Protectors (Angels) are supposed to prevent Acts and abuse of the Will. They are not against Harm as a principal and use harm to enforce law that corrals acts of the Will. In fact that is what Law is. It is ritualized and sanctioned Harm that curtails Will. The theory is that Will leads to Harm, and if you use Harm to prevent greater Harm you should, as long as you are not willful about it.
Destroyers (Devils) are Will personified and prove the theory of the Protectors that Will always leads to Harm. In fact Destroyers use Harm to sustain their Will. For them Harm and Will are in fact indistinguishable.
Sustainers (Servants) are supposed (again on average, clearly their are exceptions. In fact you can see that the story of KSBD is the dangers of when individuals do not act as they are supposed to per this rubric) to neither Harm NOR be willful. They are supposed to serve (forfeit their will to the will of another or the will of a group).
Perceivers (Humans) are supposed to be willful and NOT Harmful. They were a mistake but the idea seems to be that the warm black flame was supposed to encourage creativity and not destruction. Protectors can point to how when a Perceiver becomes TOO willful it will lean towards destruction rather than creativity, which is why Law exists to manage the will allowing the supposed natural tendency to reduce harm to flourish.
One can look at White Chain's journey thus as follows:
White Chain trains Alison in the tools of Harm in the hopes that doing so Alison would recognize the dangers of Will. In doing so White Chain was Wrong as such training was against Alison's nature as a Perceiver which is against Harm and Willful. Clio on the other hand is closer aligned to Alison as they are both creatures of WILL. However Clio is also wrong as she also represents Harm as Will, the idea that only the strong can be free and that the weak always have other's will imposed on them. White Chain recognizes that that is the philosophy of the Demiurges. White Chain also recognizes that s/he was wrong as well. The solution is that Alison need to be instructed by a servant or another human in the ideals of Non-Harm.Last edited by mystic1110; 2020-01-22 at 11:44 AM.

Mostly because he strikes first while the other angels are still praying. We haven't really seen Gaze let loose so far.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Perhaps, but i doubt thats the explanation.
Gaze was still in the middle of a technique, we saw his hand close around a miniature star as he were just about to complete the prayer,
and punch Juggernaut. But Juggernaut completed its technique faster, and so it got Gaze as he was moving in.
And it also makes sense Juggernaut is a lot stronger.
Angels condense and grow stronger as they age. And Juggernaut is only on its 6th incarnation.
Edit.
Alright what the heck is up with Juggernaut?
Once more it (she?) lost interest in the fight.

Do they though? Inky & Gog are Allison fans. Mottom was one, fell out of love.
Jagganoth, Mammon and Jadis dont care for different reasons.
Leaves Solomon, who is just keeping an eye on Zaid. I'm quite sure solomon thinks he is himself better suited to be king, even if it would be an oh so terrible burden.

Solomon is a thousand year old statesman. Of course he is better suited for the role of king than a random teenager.
Its also just very well established that he -does- indeed no want the job. He want to progress towards becomming true royalty.
But naw in all seriousness, this has 'No Sell' written all over it. It doesn't look like they know about the wheel, he's just blasting JuggerNot.
So if nothing else, blasting JuggerNot does get rid of it for the forseable future.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Ah yeah. Sharp eyes. So thats Juggernauts backup plan.
Or perhaps more precisely escape plan. The Wheel is hidden in the void.
Well then im honestly even more certain this will mean the end of JuggerNot.
As far as i can see, the Wheel acts a bit like a Lich Phylactery. Or a second/backup body for Juggernaut.
Because we also saw Juggernaut were in her? thorn body before White Chain pulled them off to the void.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Yeah, can you believe that people think the immortal tyrant is actually lying? Everyone knows that all dictators everywhere tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Especially when they say that ruling is such a burden, they'd give it up in a heartbeat if they could, but they are a servant of the people and there is no one else who could serve the people half as well. After all, just about every despot has said something like that at some point, so it must be true, right?

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
Considering all we've seen it does show the level of Solomon and the other demis if in however many years no one has managed to spill a drop of his blood, presumably this year is abit of a standout but not by that much.
I do wonder if Gaze is going to get one shotted to once again show Alison is still so far away from where she needs to be.

And then try to justify it to themselves with "oh he must be lying, i dislike him so when his actions treaten my world view, they have to be an elaborate ruse"
Except we dont actually have any evidence of Solomon lying.
And got a decently sized mountain of evidence to the contrary.
Solomon -is- the ultimate ruler of his realm. He dont need to lie to anyone.
he certainly dont need to go though the massive chore of repeatedly holding DBZ-style tournaments to find someone strong enough to take over.
I also cant understand why its such a strange concept to people, that after playing Civilisation X for a couple hundred years it gets stale,
and makes you want to move on to something else.
edit.
Bam!
Yes that was a pretty clear ending to the fight. Juggernaut did not manage to get up from tha blow.
Even if it did not break the shell, it did cripple it. Poor Juggernaut, all the spikes go the wrong way now :D
Though at the same time, i think Gaze will concede the fight against Dave, since its not a price he wants.
He was just there for White Chain.Last edited by lord_khaine; 2020-03-21 at 09:43 AM.

Re: Kill6BillionDemons II: The Successor's coming will be followed by 108 burning thr
He probably needs to lie at least to himself. "You still think you are the good guy", Mottom said. Another problem, he deems himself more important to his empire than he actually is. His ruling practices are questionable in several points, including thinking that a tournament is actually a good method of choosing a ruler.
EDIT: And I think he enjoys the tournaments, even if their true purpose isn't clear yet imo.Last edited by Rydiro; 2020-03-25 at 07:44 AM.

SD is 100% as important for his empire as he think. And a tournament is one of the better ways to pick a ruler.
Since without SD, the empire dont have any protection against other demi-urges.
Or even potentially rampaging angels.
Thats also why there is a tournament. If your not at least strong enough to draw blood from SD.
Then your not strong enough to protect the empire.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Which doesn't mean he actually needs to rule. Its like saying every state needs to be a military/police state, because there are criminals and hostile nations.
Solomon could limit himself to demiurge meetings and being the celestial empires nuclear option. And otherwise pursue royalty. Like gog-agog; she doesnt care about ruling, her worlds are protected just fine by the pact. She is rather a superstar/pest.

Dishing out DQ left and right. It subverted my expectations unless Alisson decides to strike at him, which given her exhaustion is unlikely.
