Kind of sort of not really. Giving his empire a way to fairly supplant him with the contest is just another sign of his pride, because he knows no one will ever actually beat him in a fair fight.

I thought he was seriously looking for a replacement.

Strength. Maya was given a simple order (shave her head), she ignored it, and wonders why Meti won't teach her.

That is an opportunist.

Finally a new page, iwonder why it got delayed.

You know, Mottom really seems the least powerful of the demiurges to me. Jagganoth and Mammon are both giant behemoths. Incubus and Salami Dave studied under some of the greatest fighters the multiverse has ever known. Gog Agog has almost infinite regeneration capabilities and Jadis has been mentioned by Abaddon as being a master sorceress and having seen the shape of the multiverse. Mottom seems to be the only one who doesn't have any noteworthy powers besides what her Key gives her. She couldn't even achieve or sustain her immortality without her husband, being the only of the Seven so far unable to do so. In fact, an old blog post mentions Mottom as being the weakest except for the trapped Jadis and the senile Mammon.

Seems like it got delayed because of the Lancer kickstarter.

"My student once asked me what should be done about my body when I was inevitably torn apart by my enemies. My answer was simple: feed it to the dogs outside the walls of the city. She was horrified, of course, and protested loudly. 'Alright then,' I said, 'Give me a stick to beat the dogs so they won't bother me'. 'But master,' said my idiot student, 'You will be insensate.''Well if I'm insensate then why do you give a flying fuck what happens to my corpse?' I said, settling the matter."

Maya: Still bad at listening.

[up][up] Actually now that Mammon seems to be thinking clearly again that just makes Mottom even weaker in comparison.

Also anyone else get the Diogenes reference about her corpse being fed to dogs?

Kind of interesting that Incubus was apparently a perfect, dutiful student from beginning to end.

What's precedent ever done for us?

It's mentioned in a previous page's alt-text that being fed to dogs is Meti's preferred form of burial:

My student once asked me what should be done about my body when I was inevitably torn apart by my enemies. My answer was simple: feed it to the dogs outside the walls of the city. She was horrified, of course, and protested loudly. 'Alright then,' I said, 'Give me a stick to beat the dogs so they won't bother me'. 'But master,' said my idiot student, 'You will be insensate.''Well if I'm insensate then why do you give a flying fuck what happens to my corpse?' I said, settling the matter."

As for killing her, she's very clear that the only purpose of swordsmanship is to kill people. Or to quit and become a farmer, of course.

Who is that Goddess they are worshiping?

Goddess of being batshit crazy and doing whatever random thing pops into your head, such as picking up the multiverse and whacking people with it.

She is also the creator of humanity, which is why they're so screwed up.

Desecration.

I'm reminded of the quote from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri: Man has killed man from the beginning of time, and each new frontier has brought new ways and new places to die. Why should the future be different?

I can see why Meti is so cynical.

[up] Aesma is the greatest goddess because she's not going to let anything stop her from doing what she wants, up to and including the laws of reality.

Sadly, real life seldom gives us such clear and unambiguous choices.
