This one hurt. The beginning was particularity insightful. The leaders’ meeting added a lot of background to what regions get along and why. But there was also some confusion, probably intentionally, regarding the monsters that inhabit Ezra and Bel Solomon. Ezra’s was briefly explained by the President and the Horsemen, but it doesn’t elaborate on how his transformation makes him more useful to The Chosen and their message.

On the other end of this story, we are seeing Death’s son, now name Babylon, escaping his prison and the Horsemen. Babylon wears vision guards like the prophet from the Endless Nation. These vision guards skew his sight from seeing the world authentically. He ends the volume in what looks like a hell-scape when in reality it is a sunflower field. I wonder if someone from the Endless Nation is controlling his vision and learning through Balloon (The Artificial Intelligence system that he is connected to). The Endless Nation seems to be the only region with the technology that Babylon is imprisoned by, so it would make sense for them to manipulate Babylon’s learning to get an outcome that would benefit their nation and their allies (The PRA - His Mother, etc.)
