also ruh roh. What does Gog-Agog mean that the crowd is wrong. Dave lost, but White Chain didn't win because... Gog-Agog won?
I think they mean that White Chain didn’t actually draw blood, so she loses according to the rules, but the crowd doesn’t care about the rules because she’s come so much closer than anyone has before and the crowd loved it
The rules were that he lose a drop of blood, so he won.
White Chain wanted to prove her worth, so she won.
The crowd wanted to see him get hit, so they won.
Gog-Agog wanted everyone to know he lost, so she won.
And HIM? And Incubus? And Jagganoth? And Zoss?

Solomon still wins this fight. White Chain can’t actually beat him. It doesn’t matter though. She humiliated him and for a fascist that is the ultimate injury. You maintain your rule by convincing the world that you are unstoppable. That they should fear you. In this moment they are laughing at him.
If you make God bleed the people will cease to believe in him... there will be blood in the water and the sharks will come.
I was under the impression that no one actually saw the exchange except for Solomon David and White Chain herself. All the crowd saw was a flash of white and then their emperor standing triumphant (and about to execute his opponent, no less); Gog-Agog says that they know their emperor has won, but they are wrong

gog agog is a lovable scamp who is too busy being a goofball to pose any real threat to the other demiurges
and now that she's inside my body too I can assure you she has no plans on infecting the rest of you so sleep easy tonight with your mouths open
My initial read was that Gog-Agog agrees with David's "might makes right" philosophy (so Dave won), but she still recognizes that David's rule is based on his mystique which has been shattered (so Dave lost).
I wonder if Gog has secretly taken over a bunch of people in the stadium?
That was my guess. But if Solomon just pastes a stadium of normal people that'd be rad too.
I guess he could mush the stadium which then reforms all wormy like? I dunno. One or the other, not both imo.

She didn’t draw blood, so she doesn’t win.
But she landed a hit and bruised his ego face, so neither does Solomon.

A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
Look I just wanna see some people get gooped. By punch or by worming. I don't care just give me that red slurry.

Gog Agog can be a lot smarter than she looks when she wants to. She has more brain cells than all the other demiurges by a couple million times over, she just usually only uses about three.

Save that for when Allison and the crew are fighting a tower of bodies bearing an uncomfortable resemblance, in aggregate, to a giant writhing worm. (But with wings an' stuff.)

I am almost certain Gog's going for "The crowd thinks White Chain won by doing damage, but I won because this is exactly what I wanted and I'm about to blow this powderkeg." The "they think White Chain won, even if she didn't by the rules" is also probably valid.

Wait, I am somehow still confused. Which scenario is unfolding, here?
A - the people are cheering/jeering because White Chain punched Dave, seeing someone finally stick it to the man, and are thinking that David lost. Gog-Agog says they're wrong (rules-wise), but it doesn't matter.
B - the people are cheering Solomon David because they saw WC get pulverized. Gog-Agog says they're wrong (this time, figuratively), but what they think don't matter (because to Solomon David, he got bruised both literally and figuratively).
At first I thought it was A, but then I thought B can still be a legitimate reading.
My thinking is that if Allison couldn't see that punch and transformation in accelerated time, then neither did the crowd, and White Chain collapses the moment the pair return to normal time
From an outsider's perspective it absolutely looks like Solomon David won and that White Chain was obliterated
