I do think Oasis has more role to play for a couple reasons.
1. It was never explained what role she plays or could have played in the big tangle.
2. The way she works was handwaved as we think it has something to do with quantum entanglement but idk Dr. Steve was ahead of his time. Pretty suspicious and makes me think there's something magical about how Oasis works.

Their apparent "mother" has been hinted at in the current plotline. I don't know if the current plotline will be the big finish for K'Z'K (or mankind) or whether this demon meet will be just another blip along that whole big plotline. Weirdly, to me this demon meet has a feel of 'just another blip'. And yet, with the hints that the vampires will be involved, it seems as if all the plotlines should be coming together right now - and that would include Oasis/Kusashi.

I hesitated to put that in the reaction section, because it might actually be speculation, but I couldn't help but notice that Zoe took the place of Farhan. Now, it's a bit mitigated by the fact it also broke Gwynn's part of statue and that Bun Bun is there as well, but that Zoe take the place of Farhan in what is meant to be a couple of lovers... Well that's some subtext, there, that recontextualise a bit how Gwynn tend to treat Torg especially in consideration of his engagement with Zoe.

Some magic is internal to Farahn, but probably not all. And Gwynn seems to posses some power in her own right, as per the battle in the motel.
Would Gwynn, currently trapped in the book as she is, be able to send some of the power to Zoe, same as Farahn sent it to her?

No magic in space.

The gold in this comic is really bothering me. The last time I remember seeing that color of gold is that vine that Torg made the engagement ring from. Maybe I'm being stupid through.

What if the quantum entanglement and the ability to come back to life is because Steve managed to replicate a fate web, for just one person and it is stored in the satellite and links only to Oasis and her lab.

So....Farahn actually does imprison the bug and hide the book, thus saving the world? Then Gwynn's gift kicks in and she moves to the moon, causing Farahn rage releasing the bug?
Or Tombsy manages to pull the bug out anyway?
Pete sure likes to leave a lot of dangling possibilities. He's the true googol.

The great tangle has not occurred yet. This could be it. If it was just the demon meet and even with the involvement of the vampires I might be inclined to agree. But we have Gwynn making a seemingly large sacrifice and the Moon Twin may be involved too. This feels....epic for some reason. I think if kusasha and oasis show up it will definitely be the great tangle.
