So in other words…Whatever it means to eat divine creatures, it empowers the user to do so. But since you’ve got to find a divine creature that’s either dead or one you can capture and kill…Hrrrm.
I kinda get it but pages like this one REALLY make me wish I more properly comprehended the ‘magic/reality’ system going on here. Like I feel like I’m missing half the context clues supposed to add tension and whatnot because I can only guess at what this power someone’s got is and how it interacts with the other powers flying around.
Too many mystic black boxes for me, I guess.
A common misconception, in actuality Maresh is just reclaiming the power left to him within the fundaments of deific biology as laid out by the Great King when he created himself and then destroyed himself to create the world. Maresh was always meant to feast upon Yamra’s divine corpse and in doing so prepare the way for the time when he teaches mankind the secret of Tamantha-free cultivation which empowers humanity’s great ally, the chemical Titan, to begin its apotheosis.
Why learn the rules when you can make up your own?
@Boring7: You sir are filled with awesome. Ridiculous awesome.
He took into himself the flesh of a god. Would that be like also ingesting it’s essence? Any case he is now something more than human…and loathes himself for it. Nice.
Most cannibalism-fueled (it’s close enough) empowerment is portrayed as a temporary thing. But it could be permanent. Another question is how “evil” this is since Barabbon’s actions made it clear that “it’s okay if an angel does it.” Finally, Maresh seems to have ended Barabbon because he took Mixabokes’ words to heart and accepts that the world just needs to be destroyed. “To corrupt to continue” and “even I am a monster” leads to “I must destroy myself and the universe.”
But I’m guessing, for all we know he’s about to just set himself on fire.

Gurahl = pretty big deal.
Maresh ATE him. He ate a god.
That’s a pretty big deal.

Awesome. Barabbon dun goofed, and it finally caught up with him.

But setting himself on fire would do nothing.
I mean, maybe Okidesha’s fires would do it. Maybe.
