#1220: "Entirely too much, actually."
 

...Dun dun dun?
Personally betting on that light coming from White Mage, who absorbed Sarda's magic or the orbs' powers or something dumb like that and is the true final boss of the series. Or that is how the world turning into a pastry looks.

Rocks Fall Everyone Dies.

The only problem with that logic is that BM is fantasizing killing random, but reportedly pious, people that are not the Light Warriors or affiliated with them in any way. Shouldn't he be dreaming of killing them instead?

Also, I'm putting my money down that Chaos overheard Fighter's ramblings and that he is dying of mental agony... in other words, I think this was the Light Warriors' plan all along.

Even it is white mage, I doubt she absorbed any magical energies. If Sarda couldn't handle all that power, what makes you think she could?

Well, she influenced the Universe first, maybe she's attuned to it in ways he simply couldn't be? The Orbs were really the elements incarnate, and those are the building blocks of everything, so I think it seems possible. Not advocating that theory - but pretty much everything in this comic has good little twist to make things work out.

Gandalf the White, right on schedule.

Brian did you intentionally made that beam of light hide BM's face(i know he has just 4 pixels for it) so we wouldn't know his reaction?
He could think it was that god he mentioned getting back at him.

Ok. Everybody. She is not attuned to the universe. The universe was young. It is the same as you saying to your little brother "Hey dude, this would be an awesome thing to do" and he goes "YEAAAAH!" and does it. But not that brother is a 90 year old man, and he isn't going to listen to you. That is how the universe worked. White Mage isn't a god, she isn't a motivating force behind the universe anymore, and she has no more control than a fart can turn into a hurricane (Screw your butterfly effect.)

They messed about so much that even the plot got tired and decided to move on without them.
