Patiently waiting for those ‘7 minutes’ gog mentioned to be up and seeing what the hell she meant by that. Based on the battle map a lot of the last few pages have been occurring simultaneously, so they might not be up just yet.

I think I might be missing some things.
1) Who or what are the big giant things that are fighting? I saw the Berserkers Incubus brought in, but some of those big lads look like they’re fighting on the side of the Republic.
2) How are they outnumbered 10 to 1? I always got the impression that the Disciples of the Count were not a particularly large group in the grand scheme of things. They only have space for like 5 digits. And yes 100,000 people is a lot, but not compared to armies made up from 111,111 worlds. Conversely the Republic seemed MASSIVE, especially with the influx of new immigrants. The guilds and Motom’s underlings were numerous, yes, but they always seemed like they were basically at each others’ throats at the BEST of times. When did they get so united?

This is actually explained when they first showed up. Basically they bought Incubus’ lies through a combination of unknowing and willful ignorance and aligned themselves with Jagganoth’s army, which is, in fact, Jagganoth’s 7th slice of the multiversal pie. As opposed to the Republic, which was in fact a small and struggling power reinforced by the rebellious elements of the other demiurges’ empires.
Basically one side is a universe-wiping army sending expendable chaff and mercenaries ahead of itself while the other is a bunch of stragglers trying to hold on. -

I’m wondering too. I suspect the ones wearing halos are gods. Others may be enormous demons. I haven’t spotted any of those giant revivified battle angel carcasses yet. In this view of the battle those Titans are fighting on both sides.
A related question is, if there are gods fighting, where’ve they been hiding out ? However, this epic involves multiple dimensions, time manipulation, and clues that reality has been / will be / is being re-written. So if some things seem unexplained at the moment – I’m guessing we may look there.
