I wondered about that. Is Hell part of this universe (and will it be destroyed along with the rest of it)? But either way, Chaos said he'd "lock the souls of all living things on this plane in the eternal torment" or some such. BM would have to kill himself before that happens, if he wants to try the Hell coup again. And I can't see BM killing himself.

I can, however, see the other LWs trying to kill him with that same plan in mind (to his feeble semi-articulated protests).

I didn't mean to hide. I meant to use that power to subjugate Chaos.

I know. But again, to get to Hell and regain that power he'd have to die. That means either by killing himself, or have someone else kill him. Chaos isn't planning on killing him (as such; he has something much more exotic in mind), I can't see him killing himself, so the only alternative is WM (MIA ATM), or the other LWs.

maybe THAT'S why he told them about planning to sacrifice them to Chaos anyway? so they'd kill him, and it'd be Lich all over again from there on.

He's been trying to kill them for ocer a thousand strips now. They all, aside from Fighter, realize this.

Black Mage can't take over hell again because the fiends are all back there. And because Brian doesn't repeat plot points.

"... fight him and die immediately."

This might be foreshadowing the sudden and anticlimactic ending of the comic.

And I'm not sure BM's sacrifice to Chaos will operate the same way this time. I'm thinking it's a new day. It's time for him to say an evil prayer and hadouken his comrades.

Looks like YOU haven't read enough 8BT.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Fiends were absorbed.

They were summoned back from Hell.
