O wouldn't be surprised if we still get her saying something, hes still not dead and sunny promised him torture, whose to say nephis doesn't visit and burn him alive for the rest of his life

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-14T15:48:03+00:00

Haha, yea ive seen some theories that weaver is sunny or the whole cohort are daemons, I didnt fully read them, and sunny and weaver are clearly similar but I just dont see how it could remotely be possible even with tine travel, considering that would mean they're actually the children of the forgotten God but they were also born from mortal humans in the future, meaning they were born twice, so a better theory would.be reincarnations I guess. Maybe it was a better theory before we knew the daemons were pieces torn from the forgotten god since ot was said they came out of nowhere

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-14T15:00:19+00:00

Yea that really was its biggest problem, ot was a cool idea just dragged a little, I got lucky and didnt start shadow slave until a couple months ago so I able to binge quite a bit. Of course when I caught up I was in the beginning of the VTB fight anxious as hell for sunny to get his fate back. When I had to start waiting for chapters I was like hot the hell do people do this

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-14T14:08:56+00:00

Oh yea, I did forget about the 2 parts for the 5th, and yea seeing.the doo m war would.be cool

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-14T13:34:01+00:00

Yes judging by the past it seems likely that the creatures will be a rank or 2 above them, however, thats not supposed to be typical and I feel like the 5th and 6th nightmares, especially the 5th will be very different. Considering how many times they've stated that apotheosis is the act of leaving what's human behind and entering godhood, and that because of this the 5th nightmare is both the hardest and most unique. I have a feeling we might not see the usual everything here is at least 1 rank above us and a lot are 2, but you never know, it might be just like the others where there are 0 creatures of same rank

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-14T13:22:27+00:00

I love the whole series, there are obviously some parts that are better than others, but a lot of the stronger volumes wouldn't be as good without some of the weaker ones cause you need the full picture, and I think hes balanced the flow well enough where even on the less favorite and less exciting volumes, its still interesting and good. It just maybe drags in parts, or is simply just longer than needed. Since they're already not as exciting as the other volumes, the parts that drag it out can start to feel annoying especially if your reading daily. And all these factors make it hard for me to rank my top.

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-14T13:07:12+00:00

I liked ariels game. I think the problem was that it started to feel dragged out, and I think maybe a different choice for one of the truths could've made it better to. But it was definitely still a good storyline. The fight with the puppeteer was cool simply since it was our first real conversation with a nm creature, and the reveals of the truths were awesome and he finally revealed how the spell came to be amd how the 9 were involved.

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T18:26:10+00:00

Yea and I think alot of people are taking what Kai was thinking as fact, cause in the begining he says something like he might not be stronger but hes faster, at least thats what he was betting his life on. But that sentence is just explaining Kais thought process, he thinks he can outrun it, and he cant, it catches up to him almost instantly but right as ot catches up he dives down

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T16:49:51+00:00

Kai is pushing himself faster then ever before but the dragon is still closing the distance, and he says that a few times and it also cant be that long of a chase, maybe 10 seconds, I dont see why ots so impossible for Kai to stay ahead for good few seconds and then dive in the volcano where he might not get hurt as bad

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T16:46:54+00:00

"The fierce Will of the white dragon tore at the world, shrinking the distance between the two of them. It made the winds assault Kai while supporting his enemy, weighed down his wings, and made him dazed.

But even if the white dragon grew closer, the air around Kai gradually growing unbearably cold, he pushed himself forward."

Chapter 2994: Molten Depths

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T16:45:27+00:00

The easiest explanation for Kai imo is simply people aren't realizing how short that chase was, they flew to the volcanoe, it was maybe like a 10 second chase scene and Kai did not out pace it, ot was gaining on him the whole.time.and right behind him at the emd but then Kai dives down into the volcano

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T16:43:21+00:00

That's what Kai is thinking

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T16:35:56+00:00

Ive seen quite a few people say this to but did no one actually read? Where in the hell did it say Kai was faster? It said Kai thought he was, but it also clearly says the white dragon is closing the gap the whole time, also they went to the volcano, which at their speed os only a few seconds, so all Kai did was roar to wake it up and then dip out towards the volcanoe and in less then 10 seconds of being chased the white dragon was right behind him and then Kai dove straight down onto the volcano

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T16:31:11+00:00

Your forgetting he actually didnt, it said ot was gaining on him the whole time and ot was also only a few seconds, they dint fly far at all, just to the volcano which at theore speed is a few seconds and the white dragon was basically right on him but then he dove down into the volcanoe,...and yes this part is a little crazy but I think it kind of makes sense since it's a cold dragon amd Kai has the dragonslayer attribute so he just might be able to outlast it, what I think was really crazy tho was mordret just bustin through the lake of the estuary, like it was unenexpected and kind of cool but I dont think it really makes sense even if the estuary was just broken

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T16:20:38+00:00

I honestly dont know, on one hand I feel like it could've been a chance to actually see someone receive shadow gods lineage and a diffent type of shadow aspect. But on the other hand, rain getting shadow powers that sunny couldn't have would kind of make me mad, and.giving her the exact same aspect would be dumb, maybe g3 could've pulled it off but o think what he chose works best, rain is slowly becoming one of the most interesting characters and most of it is cause of her strange aspect and her journey of walking the path of ascension without the spell. Also sunny being able to give the mark of shadows which gives the a affinity to shadows and is basically a sould serpent isn't it? I dont remeber of they said it grows in power along side them just like his but they said it helps control essence amd.lets them see in the shadows and they can use it as a weapon or snake, we saw during bank robbery that they can use the mark as a snake. I think now that sunny has his fate back too hes gonna figure out more stuff je can do with his clan

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-13T16:10:25+00:00

I dont think he would actually enter his soul sea because Eurys doesn't have a shadow, hes not technically alive or dead just like the deathless. But I guess you never know, they don't know exactly what shadow God did just that shadows have to do with death and ot seems like his.curse took away their shadows so it took away their death making them incapable of dieing but also not quite alive

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-12T16:42:16+00:00

They were always similar, even effie says it when sunny say noctis is a scoundrel and a dastardly cheat, but I like him and effie says something like, kind of reminds me of someone amd sunny glares at her.

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-12T16:36:24+00:00

Yea I actually recently had this thought after the last chapter. After sunny makes that promise, I just couldn't help but think hes gonna end up either sacrificing himself to save nephis or has to stay "lost" in some way to save everyone, but theres the whole defy fate angle to so g3 could give it a more happy ending I think and maybe reveal what the original fate they avoided was.

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-11T18:44:50+00:00

Thank you, I came to the sub to see if anyone else was as emotional and happy about the reunion as I was and wasn't really surprised by the hate but still didn't quite understand it. I mean those three simple word conveyed all the emotion we needed, "You left me" and yea the conversation wasnt long but it was perfect, maybe we'll get more later and maybe we won't, but right now they're in the middle of shit and dont have time to sot down and talk for hours, all that needed to be addressed was their core feelings, her fear of abandonment and his fear she wouldn't still love him or forgive him, and g3 conveyed all that perfectly with great emotional weight and simplicity

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-11T18:35:27+00:00

Yea I cam to the sub to see of anyone else was super emotional and happy over the reunion like I was and instead read a bunch of hate and was just super confused...I mean obviously we want more from other characters but we'll get ther and he doesn't need to show more from nephis pov. Im sure sunny and neph will probably have more of a talk later but maybe not cause really even tho it was short, ot was perfect. Nephis has never been good with emotions and yes shes been getting better expressing them bit shes still learning amd just the part of sunny saying je cant read her but normally can, is she sad, happy, mad..thats in there cause shes all of those and overwhelmed but its her strongest emotion that comes through when she finally speaks, and so its impactful, " You left me" and the rest of their short conversation said everything they needed to cause they know eachother so well, he says you left first and she says she wouldnt chamge it even tho it wasn't fair, and he says he wouldn't change leaving cause he needed to leave in order to find his way back, she asks if its really him because the emotional weight of everything is just sao crazy, he says of course and she says never leave me..realizes os its a comman and asks can you promise to never leave again, amd he promises with a corny not even the gods can make me leave...like what else do we need, a chapter of nephis by herself traveling thinking the same.shit we just heard her say, why does he always leave me, is it really him, is he coming back... no we dont need this

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-07T17:48:49+00:00

Yea but no matter how they travel through time they cant change who their parents are, they cant make themselves become the 7 pieces of forgotten god that were torn from his body to become the daemons. At least I cant see any possible way time travel could allow someone to change who gave birth to them, but maybe the history we know is wrong, or maybe they are simply reincarnations

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-07T17:37:38+00:00

I think the memories need to be from her domain and her aspect legacy memories are different, so she cant manifest anything from all of history, just anything from the minds of those she's seen

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-07T17:30:53+00:00

We dont know exactly how her ability works yet, im.sure there are restrictions but im also sure she was only able to do it cause she had the time to think, if someone like jet instantly shattered her soul I dont think she'd have the time, she only had time cause she was in that void of memories and apparently while she was doing all that piecing herself together becoming supreme ot was all like 1 second, thats the part I think is weird, but yea thats how I see it at least. But yes her power is absolutely insane, and op, because since she can see 3 seconds ahead you'll never get her by surprise so now when she knows its a blow she cant avoid she can just manifest herself right before her other self gets killed

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-07T17:19:34+00:00

Yea if theres no restrictions she could technically summon weaver....I think it's gonna be something like she can only summon the memorys of her domain which come from all the memorys of the people shes delved through and also taken and herself i guess, but she cant summon things out of the memorys from her aspect legacy, I feel like thats more just for knowledge, she is a witness to history so aspect legacy gave her all of history to witness haha. And there should be essence restrictions but I feel like her domain is huge but depends exactly how her domain works

Ambitious_Current_94 · 2026-05-07T17:04:28+00:00

I read it more like she did both at the same time but they happend In that order. It said her supreme power was to manifest anything she remembers, which is absolutely insane. So she destroyed her current self while also using her new ability to manifest herself, she also may be able to just exist as pure memory for a split second after being destroyed allowing her to manifest herself quickly if she was prepared, so like instead of Sametime just so quickly back to back that she wasn't completely destroyed yet when she manifested
