>>149240205 (OP)
Miss Omega! Compose yourself! Tony is watching!

of course she will thank her and hold no grudge for losing her own omniscience, Kat knows what's best, and now she can even die of old age in what will feel like tomorrow because of all those centuries of memories she has.

>>149240237
>centuries
You're overblowing her age, I think.
She's likely no older older than ~200 years.

So what are they gonna do now?

>>149240342
I've been asking myself that question about this comic for about a decade now.

>>149240342
Now, they kiss.

>>149240205 (OP)
So, the cage she put Omega-bird in was actually that crying body?

>>149240517
it represent the data downloading. zzzewwww zoooop

>>149240517
That could be. Hadn't thought of that. Who knows, tho.

>>149240205 (OP)
I can't deal with this

>>149240205 (OP)
Am I the only one getting Peanuts vibes from Meg crying? Or maybe shades of Olive Oil.

>>149240517
>>149240205 (OP)
>Silence Mortal!
>The Divine has given you a punishment accept it now or suffer further

>>149240205 (OP)
Remove the tears and wailing sound effect and it looks like Ms. Omega is riding a seriously fine dick.

>>149241311

I thought the same thing. That cry is Peanuts inspired.

>>149241498
To be fair, she had it coming.

>>149241674
>nooooo let me be alive instead of a steak inside a computer I just wanted to become Annie's new mom and give her 3 or 4 little siblings

>>149241697
New People probably can't have children with humans (yet).

>>149240205 (OP)
This is such a boring, uninteresting outcome. Omega didn't even *do* anything before losing her powers that was anything other than inconvenient, and effectively she's just been doomed to being another background NPC that will occasionally show up to provide exposition and then get lost in the shuffle again.
You could essentially take every page that has happened since Omega was revealed in the distortion and delete them, because we have essentially looped back around to where we started with nothing lost and nothing gained. Just time wasted.

>>149242217
Have your expectations been subverted?

>>149242217
Brainlet take. Omega was never meant to be an antagonist for long. 99% of us knew this.

>>149242242
And yet it was still a waste of time.
Omega shifting from 'unnamed background character' to 'antagonistic force' in Feb 2024. Thats about a year and a half ago. Do you think that year and a half was spent wisely? Thats a year and a half of moving all of the pieces around, but not having any of them actually *do* anything. The only things that happened in that span of time that might carry forward some meaning are things that happened unrelated to the Omega plotline, not because of her.
The disagreement between Omega and the other characters was shallow, bloodless, and resolved without any meaningful cost or consequences. Which would have been fine if it lasted a few pages, but instead it lasted for like 5 entire chapters. There is no world in which that is a good use of the time dedicated to it, unless your goal is to pad things out for as long as possible to avoid progressing the story.

>>149242217
>This is such a boring, uninteresting outcome.
Genuinely what did you want to happen? You know you can't answer, cause you're only here to bitch.

>>149242242
>99% of us knew this
>but I waited for the outcome to arrive to pretend I knew it
This isn't reddit that stupid shit doesn't work there.

>>149240205 (OP)
Is this freedom or a prison?

>>149242339
Plenty of options, really. Lets look at the components of this outcome:

> Omega the person cannot use her powers
> Omega the machine still exists and can be used by the court
> No damage was done during her villain arc
> nothing was sacrificed to defeat her

You get meaningful consequences if you change literally any one of these factors.

For example, an Omega that has joined Annie's team WITHOUT losing her powers now offers a powerful tool that they can use to try and fix the distortion, and then provide a benefit to the protagonists after the distortion ends because one of their primary groups of antagonists (the court) relies upon Omega so a friendly Omega turns into a secret weapon in the future

If Omega (the person) is defeated by destroying Omega (the machine) then the Court has been denied its omniscient supercomputer and when the plot resumes after the distortion arc the court can now be BEATEN because it is has been denied its predictive supercomputer that knows everything you are going to do before you do it.

The arc also could have been given meaning if Omega had either done something that hindered the heroes that was not easily fixed or ignored (destroying Kat's lab, killing a character, etc) as opposed to short term inconvenient for fake-stakes (kidnapping some people into an explicitly non-dangerous situation)... or if the heroes had to use some valuable resource or make some other sacrifice in order to bring Omega down, leaving them at a disadvantage going into the next part of the story facing Loup/Zimmy and resolving the distortion.

As is, the Omega arc does NOTHING that feeds into the rest of the story, which is what makes it bad. There are lots of better things they could have done instead, but those didn't happen.

>>149242382
I mean I knew it in the sense that everything is always the exact same anticlimax in this comic

>>149240205 (OP)

Annie looking really sexy in the last panel. Really showing off her thighs and pert breasts.

>>149240205 (OP)

Wow. The placement of Annie and Kat don't even remain consistent between the panels, pathetic.

>>149242609
look at how pointy her tits are, she's just getting horny at crying omega and getting closer to get a taste of her tears

>>149241546
Don't really need to remove much at all.
Only need to add Tony or an anon beneath her.

plot twist : she's crying because Zimmy died in the process. And jack is gonna loathe Annie harder than ever from now on.

>>149240205 (OP)
>Ok that's good enough for an explanation moving on

>>149242304
This comic should be renamed "spinning wheels"

>>149242443
>villain arc
>the court can be beaten
You don't even understand the most basic fact of the comic. There is no villain.

nude edit for those who missed it

>>149240342
Have Omega cooperate so they can find a way to fix Zimmy Loup and Coyote and stop this bullshit before everyone literally jumps ship and abandons this planet.

Though probably will be interupted by main witchbitch still thinking Carver is the problem.

>>149243210
What about Boxbot.

I liked this comic better when Kat was just a tomboy nerd tinkering with tech and not an omnipotent god.

>>149242443
>> Omega the machine still exists and can be used by the court
Actually, no it doesn't. The central processing unit was the crow and she was put into the cage-body.>>149240517

>>149241651
My god, even the outfit.

>>149243240
>before everyone literally jumps ship and abandons this planet
Why would this need to be stopped?
Why do you want the characters to go out of their ways to be dicks to the court who have never done them wrong?

>>149240205 (OP)
>that low-res eye
How shoddy! Kat needs to do that thing that arc system works did with guilty gear.

>>149240342
Kat and Annie rape omega into correction

>>149244373
>kat spawns futa dicks out of her new tech powers
>they proceed to sandwich her

I wish japanese liked western comics so they could draw this as a doujin. I wonder if we can commission it from a japanese artist

>>149244516
She can literally build a mecha-dildo out of all the electric appliances around her.

>>149244204
Because its a stupid plan to begin with.
Using supernatural energy fueled by the cycle of moving onto the afterlife to make a spaceship to leave planet sounds like a really unstable plan that likely will be found to bring imbalance and possibly leave souls saturating whatever otherworldy atmosphere, all because a bunch of nerds from nerdcity don't want to hang out next to the magical forest THEY went out of their way to setup camp next to.

>>149244629
That's some reddit moderator reasoning.
If they want to live on ghostworld, then who are you to stop them?

>>149244334
And lose the PS1/PS2 retro-poly ascetic?

>>149244679
The person who doesn't want the literal Gods who run on the supernatural energy that probably keep the planet alive FROM NOT DYING. Thats what I am. Team "don't leave the planet in a way that probably breaks the planet".

>>149244723
The court is like what, 500 people or so? That's ridiculous. Besides this, whether or not a god's still worshipped means nothing to that god, they retain their power for eternity, so all that would happen is that all gods collectively lose like 500 humans worth of ether. No god would die.

>>149244811
Coyote was literally created by the minds of humans.
To say him and other Goda would fade away isn't a worship thing, it is the very ether that cycle of life passing on powers him and tons of other things.
And the court is vaguely huge definitely more thanjust 500, but even if it was only the 500 elite doung this the method which they are doing it could he very distructive.
Isn't the entire pathway they're using ether powered?

What if this is how Annie discovers her dacryphilia fetish??

>>149244938
Powered entirely by Zimmy, for examle, yes.
If any god had an actual problem with the court leaving, they could just stop it. In any case, even if gods were affected by it in any way, that's not Annie's or Kat's business. You're grasping at straws here.

>>149244982
They live on the planet.
Its like seeing some scifi story of some scientists trying to leave earth on a rocket powered by nuclear explosions, and not wanting to stop a rocket who would destroy atmosphere in nuclear fallout.

>>149245148
I don't even know what you're talking about anymore.

>>149243228
They look comfortable.

So what was up with that one time Omega tried looking at what they were doing and saw night terrors instead?

>>149245766

She looked into the mind of boxbot.

>>149243228

Thank you.

>>149241498

Exactly. Never mess with the Angel.

>>149243258
>Lana
>villain
Also, don't use her deadname, that's rude.

>>149246669
How rude!

>>149246125
This Kat is so adorable!

>raped a granny so hard she started crying out loud
So these girls are supposed to be heroes?

>>149247338
Not really, no.

>>149243228
Where are their dicks

>>149247597
in another castle

>>149246669
>Coyote's entire wacky plan hinged on Loup and Annie falling in love
>He didn't predict that Jerrek would be a chaser

>>149247750
To be honest, it's probably Annie's improbability aura that caused his miscalculation.

>>149248973
Annie is only improbable from Omega's deterministic futuresight perspective

>>149247750
TO BE ABSOLUTELY FAIR, THOUGH...

>>149240205 (OP)
Behold, the face of god
