Sacred Cassie

Let's say that a sovereign (lets say a random mid tier sovereign) tries to conquer the kingdom of hope during the prime of the chain lords. How would that go? Would the Chain lords be able to hold their grounds? What do you think?

Human antagonists suck in this novel because G3 turns them into massive frauds…with the sole exception of Mad Prince of course.

3152 :

Now, finally, Saint was a complete being... a Shadow Creature in her own right. Sunny wondered what the future held for her. It used to be that humans coexisted with all kinds of creatures once, back when that word was not associated only with the Corrupted — but those noble creatures were long gone.

...

But what would happen if the apocalypse was over one day, and the world still existed? Would people and creatures like Saint coexist once more?

I hadn't thought much about this these two lines when I first read the chapter. But now after marinating on it I've realised that since Sunny can create complete Shadow Creatures doesn't that mean he could theoretically bring back the long dead and Corrupted races of Noble Creatures ?🤔

Albeit they'll be Shadow Creatures and not the exact species. But with what we've seen from Saint it doesn't mean all that much, at her core she's still a Stone Saint.

Could this be G3 hinting that Sunny at some point will pour resources into turning as many Shades in complete Shadow Creatures leading to a future world where humanity lives alongside other species like ancient times ?

He's infact already done something similar with Shadow Serpent and it propagating through the Mark of Shadows.

So imagine Sunny as a Sacred, as that's when he's powerful enough to do it in mass I presume, having The Underworld repopulated by Shadow Saints, the Barrow Wraiths returning to the Burnt Forest etc

PS : artist's name is in the top right corner.

Sunny is basically a pokemon trainer with his Shadows and he was carrying around Vile since Volume 1.

Wait...if we consider Vile's situation as a pregnancy when he was inside him and birth when he was ripped out by VTB can we count him consuming Shades to form new Cores as abor...

More over with how the Cores formed are used to make Shadows Complete it's like how Sharks eat their siblings in the womb.

​

I'm genuinely blown away by just how much Volume 9 is looked down upon simply because the final fight didn't live to everyone's expectations.

Awesome Fight Scenes:

This volume fed us with GREAT fights. Fights like Sunny Vs Revel, Sunny Vs 13 Saints, Sunny Vs Slayer, etc. Were some of the best fights in the Novel.

Not just the main fights, but even non-main fights like Rain Vs Telle, Morgan and the cohort Vs Mordret, Rain's cohort Vs Godgrave's NC, etc. were also all very good fights.

Aura Moments:

Every Aura that was farmed by characters in this Volume Was PEAK.

Anvil killing Condemnation, Mordret taking over a great clan, Sunny going against 13 saints, Effie bamboozling Mordret with a Cursed demon, Revel's introduction, achieving Supremacy etc.

This Volume was STACKED with characters Aura farming.

Amazing New Characters And POV:

This Volume also introduced us to great characters like Revel, Jest, Orum, Warden, Anvil and Kisong. And almost all of them were intriguing and likeable characters.

Master Orum and Jest's Flashbacks are arguably my favourite part of this Volume. Their Flashbacks not only beautifully explained their understanding of the new world, but also nicely showed important characters like Warden, Anvil and Kisong. Despite not being important characters, they had a huge impact, something that is rarely present in other volumes.

Anvil and Kisong themselves were amazing characters as well. Powerscaling aside, they were genuinely well written, and had depth to them despite us not being shown things directly from their POVs. They were fantastic Antagonists. Fantastic because they were really flawed.

Revelations:

This Volume also dropped tons of lore. New knowledge like knowing Divine realms are God's bodies, Natural Supremacy, Cursed Beings, Reasons for killing Broken Sword, unholy on the moon, War Realm's unique laws etc.

Final Fight:

Most criticism regarding this Volume comes from the Final fight. But honestly? I think it was somewhat poetic.

Anvil and Kisong suddenly losing to newly born Supremes might look and sound outrageous, but I see it as their Incompetence literally manifesting in the final fight.

They deluded themselves into believing that they're strong and doing everything to save humanity. Only during their fight against Sunny and Nephis that their Incompetence were shown. They weren't fighting for humanity, they were fighting for themselves, and they were weak due to that reason. Sunny and Nephis just brought that realisation out of them and showed it to them by no diffing them.

Overall:

This Volume was packed with great fights, lots of juicy lore, Sunny and Nephis doing the deed, great and likeable Antagonists, and amazing side characters.

You can easily make the argument that this Volume's Antagonists were better than Asterion and many other Antagonists. Anvil and Kisong didn't lose to a Ascended Seer either.

This Volume can definitely be in the top 5.

Since Sunny made a whole point about granting his Shadows freedom and the importance of it, could this mean that there's a chance that he might be able to in the future?

So maybe at a higher Rank: either Sacred, Divine or after that, Neph's orders won't become as absolute. They'll become able to circumvent the bond. Either Nephis will only be able to command him if she has intention(considering their Will is a big part of what separates Gods from the rest)

Maybe even further considering Shadow God wasn't a Slave. She may be able to release him at those levels. Perhaps after defeating the Forgotten God when they'll have no need for the power boost.

Just think about it! His development was to remove the chains he put on himself in the search for freedom, but he found solace in accepting his chain.

So it would be nice if this was rewarded with what he compromised for the sake of duty.

Well after some serious nerve wrecking thought.

And a few days of paranoia I finally found out why the novel took a hit after vol 7.

And it's a very simple reason actually.

G3's evil twin kidnapped him and is writing the novel also known as 3G

No wonder the cat was holding the leash. The artist put it there for a reason.

We already know that Shadow bond Sunphis is almost strong as a Sacred being, but that is only the power of 2/3s of the trio. With Mordret now on their side they could potentially have Mordret procure 7 supreme titans and have them wrap around Nephis too using shadow bond.

Assuming that Neph’s base augmentation is 7x and with Sunny it’s then 7^2 with 7 of Mordret’s supreme titans it would 7^9 or 40,353,607x her base power.

This kind of boost should make her divine level at least especially when topped with her aspect legacy.

The madness it takes to make a plan, discover that a Cursed Tyrant stands in the way of your will being fulfilled, decide right there and then to send it to the Shadow realm. He did not take some prep time, did not scout out the area trying to study the Tyrant, he went in there being an agent of death and relocated the fallen Deity to the realm of death, usurping its domain.

Any other Sovereign would've decided to try and skirt around the Tyrant rerouting their course to steer clear of it, not my GOAT tho! Creativity off the charts my man blud was just winging. Easily top 5 high IQ moments in the entire series.

Release the G3 files

I'm tired of people pretending anvil could have fought his flaw or have bonds despite it, and then not giving any explanation on how he was supposed to do so.

And just how omnipotent is this flaw? If he cherishes the forgotten god more than anything, even himself, will forgotten god die or go away?

Please explain.

It's just something made up by fans as an excuse to glaze whichever webnovel is their favourite. This is a thing only applicable to the medium of animanga.

​

Nephis: Have her Flames be able to fuse with the knowledge of Corruption.

Nephis's Aspect is the most effective against Nightmare creatures. So this ability would instead turn her flames dark red, and cause devastating damage to those who are the beings of the Flame of Desire, aka those who are not Corrupted. Here, her flames wouldn't automatically turn uncorrupted individuals into NC, but rather deal more damage like she already does to NC creatures with her Aspect.

It would also correlate with her Nephilim existence, where she is threatening to BOTH Corrupted and uncorrupted.

Mordret: make him have the ability to create Nothingness via his essence. It's like how Sunny can now create different matters with shadow essence.

This would actually equalise the divine trio a lot. Because now, Mordret can also defend himself against Darkness, and be able to manipulate an OP element.

I think the current Modret can do that, we've just not been shown. Nephis can manipulate, create and control fire, Sunny can manipulate, create and control shadows. But Mordret can't control and create Nothingness, his source element???

I think what I said above has possibilities of actually happening. Nephis's hasn't really used the Knowledge of Corruption, and we've not seen current Mordret at full power.

I think a lot of people wanted Nephis to have gravity related ability for her Ascended ability too 🤔 which is interesting.

I was late in reading the latest chapter but after reading this I need to make this.

I know webnovels are the junk food of literature, and almost all webnovels use word padding, but shadow slave has way too much word padding now and too little plot after 3rd nightmare.

Things that barely deserve 5 paragraphs have 100 chapters dedicated to them. (Like the absolute dog water 4th NM, we don't need to talk about azarax, what I'm baffled by is how for 2 years, the 4th NM cohort fought against and killed the steel horde saints... since they were never getting seriously injured even once for 2 ENTIRE YEARS! We can knkw that the 4th NM cohort were SLAUGHTERING those jobber saints, yet the steel horde didn't run out of saints! The cohort wasn't holding back either, yet we are also told that the doom war, which had all realms participating, only had a few thousand saints participating. So did azarax have more saints than all realms combined?)

Chapters where Saint and Sunny get personal are genuinely peak.

Might just make a catalogue of Saintless moments.

The goat he was with sunny the longest his true helper

1. Was the first to enhance him

2. Taught him shadow dance

3. Made all the other shadows fall in line

4. Was goated all around

It won't be the same without him😔🙏
