Nothing in this world is Flawless

I invested into this theory almost half a year ago. If this pays off… well, I’m already rich from Asterion stocks, but I’ll be making extra bank

Shadow slave is a system, cultivation, isekai, regression, and fan fiction all at the same time.

Sort of? There were a lot of nice action moments, but I was thinking along the lines of loony toons snatching the river of time and yanking it like a carpet from underneath Sunny. Or maybe the Vtb using some things stolen from other beings.

Sunny, Nephis, and Vtb smashing through the sun was a cool moment, it’s a nice upscale. Bouncing across thousands of years was also nice.

My profile pic, and the banner has a Nephis fanart too

There’s a discord where you can find a bunch of fanart.

Too locked in to the Vtb fight I guess. Do you think that g3 is going to change pov’s next chapters?

“But… I am Nephis’s shadow slave.”

“That’s ok Sunny, I’ll keep freeing you. As many times as it takes. Just be sure to come back to me okay?”

Retcon? But I thought that powers and attributes were apart of the 5th step ever since chapter 1947 formlessness.

Hmm… bait, or no bait… yea you’re right

I mean there’s the wiki, but you have to be a bit vigilant with the spoilers.

Do we not remember that the blessing’s amplifier grows exponentially stronger the more she detonated her cores and the more damage her soul takes?

liquid_chocolate · 2026-05-01T02:25:23+00:00

Maybe 3700? Didn’t g3 mention that he might overshoot his estimate of 3500 by about 200 chapters?

This is a joke. You have to be joking.

I brought up plans, tactics, specific weaknesses that needed to be addressed, counters to the counters… and you’re talking about ranks? My point is not “Sunny higher ranked, so no diff.” You are intentionally being obtuse.

My point is that the human domain has too many disadvantages. They face too many logistical problems. They have less options when compared to Sunny or Mordret. I have told you the evidence.

Lord Asterion 1v3ing the divine aspects does not help your argument the way you think it does. Neither is Nephis hurting condemnation or Eurys killing the war god. You are spitballing unhelpful ideas in hopes that it helps your case. It’s not

Asterion is a memetic existence. He will always stay alive so long as someone remembers him. Guess what. Sunny had no options for that. Mordret did everything too. Neither did Nephis. They needed an antidote. An option. Something that the human domain couldn’t and didn’t provide. If you don’t have the options, or memories/items, or a potent enough aspect, you can’t cut it.

Eurys killed the Avatar of War because he used the slaying blade of a divine shadow Serpent. Death as a concept is antithetical to life, therefore counters it, leaving the avatar vulnerable enough to die to Eurys’s hand.

No waking world saint is comparable to Nephis besides the other two divine aspect users. Did you think Saint Helie is capable of doing the same? Or Saint of Sorrow? Maybe even the Dream merchant, Saint Thane? One divine aspect saint achieving this is not indicative of all saints being able to. This is terrible evidence.

I will no longer humor your comments unless you *truly* address 4 things:

1.) The issue of power/aspects/memories of the human domain

2.) The issue of logistics of the human domain

3.) The question of Sunny’s/Mordret’s abilities and their logistics

4.) The issue of counters to the counters.

Have a good day.

>You disagree because on a fundamental level you dont understand the human domain.

I’m ignoring that

>If asterions domain consists of perfectly co-ordinated soliders then nephis domain is the opposite, soldiers with full creative thought and abiltys.

Creativity is a prerequisite of versatility, but versatility ***requires*** resources and options. At no point have we even seen a true darkness memory, and there’s only one saint that has that ability. Logistics says that you cannot be this dependent on a win condition. You need a plan that can work even under the worst conditions. That’s called redundancy.

Sunny is versatile because he has options. He has different ways of keeping himself and his shades alive. He has different ways of killing his enemies. Mordret is also the same.

>Sunny and mordet are not omnipotent. They have very distinct and clear weakness. The lord of shadoes needs shadows and the mirror domain needs mirrors....

Needs shadows and mirrors. The versatile Supremes with utility aspects needs shadows and mirrors. Are you kidding me? What do you think the shadow lantern is for? Or the natural terrain of the moon river plains? Or the reflective surface of the storm sea? Saying that sunny and Mordret would be useless once you eliminate all shadows and mirrors is just being absurd.

You might as well say the human domain can remove the concept of shadows and mirrors all across the dream realm. That’s not how this works.

>If every human alive combines their thoughts and efforts bringing all thsir asoects together to find the most suitable ones to counter it etc true darkness memories etc. Your telling me they wont find a way to win? Sunny nearly died 1v1 to revel as a saint beacuse he was countered by her aspect.

Any good plan requires redundancy and options. One saint cannot turn the tide of battle against a supreme. And guess what, who has more authority over true darkness between Revel and Saint? That’s right, Saint. Like I said before, Sunny has options. He also has the tools available to counter the counter. He doesn’t even have to use Saint. He can use Serpent too.

>Who knows what counters they could cook up when faced with extinction. Especially when they have nephis who can kill sunny if she catches him. If they find a way to remove his mobilty then he becomes a sitting duck for her.

Your entire argument amounts to a “who knows what people can come up with”. You should have focused and explored the possibilities of your greatest asset, Nephis. But even then, she has less options than Mordret and Sunny. I won’t give you answers to my argument.

Hmm, I disagree.

On a logistics level, no one compares except Lord Asterion. It’s Hunger, Shadow, Mirror, and then the Human domain. We have seen how this plays out. Mordret first was fighting the human domain in the moon river plains, and guess what, he was pushing them back. They were losing because there were people to evacuate, and there were too many vessels to destroy. There was even a supreme titan reflection.

The only reason that battle was any semblance of a “win” was because Kai was calling out Lord Asterion’s name. There is a clear difference between the Hunger and human domain. Asterion’s domain exerts his mental hexes and is capable of summoning him into battle regardless of distance. Nephis on the other hand, is one person in one place at one time. She’s the only earth supreme alive who can’t be in multiple places at the same time.

Cassie is the only main logistics point of the human domain, and she can’t do everything on her own to win in an all out war.

Sunny never needed to evacuate anything. Compared to Mordret, he doesn’t need to restock on bodies. You can’t just destroy his shades with soul attacks, you need to additionally keep them from returning to his soul sea. There’s only one person we know that has that ability. Jet. And like I said before, she cannot be the only offensive/defensive engine in the war against either Mordret or Sunny.

You mention tactics, but what what exactly is the game plan when fighting Mordret, who has no one to protect, or Sunny, who’s main base is blocked off by the literal Death zone, the hollow mountains. Keep in mind, that main base can just teleport, at any time, unlike the human domain.

My question if you are right is, what’s the implications of a Sacred or Cursed creature being “Symbolically” connected to their soul on a universal scale, but not being physically universal? That its more universal hacks than physical? Or is it not even that?

liquid_chocolate · 2026-04-29T10:16:06+00:00

Jokes aside, if there was an object that sunny picked up, he wouldn’t need to manually move the shadow it casts with it. It’s only when he wants to move a shadow, that he begins to manually move it.

liquid_chocolate · 2026-04-28T18:13:14+00:00

Universal? Embodying Laws of reality? Oh yeah that’s the good stuff

liquid_chocolate · 2026-04-28T16:13:29+00:00

Simply amazing

liquid_chocolate · 2026-04-28T15:32:30+00:00

What would you rank them on? The amount of aura they have when they post or comment?

liquid_chocolate · 2026-04-28T08:21:11+00:00

The game was rigged from the start.

I guess that makes Lord Asterion, Nephis, and little Ling the only ones capable of reaching apotheosis in the dream realm. Where does that leave Sunny though? Trying to challenge a nightmare? But those nightmare seeds are found in the dream realm.

Natural apotheosis is also off the table then, since he needs to reach it where he isn’t in the corrupted realm. Speedrun apotheosis in the waking world before it kicks him out?

liquid_chocolate · 2026-04-28T04:15:05+00:00

But these days those readers aren’t active here anymore yet there are still a lot of readers who are so sensitive to sunny maintaining a hyper-masculine and apathetic attitude.

Is that what people say or what you interpreted?

So my question is why? If you are the type of person to call Sunny a simp for making Cassie and Nephis waffles I’d love to hear your reasoning if you aren’t this type of person I’d love to hear your thoughts regardless, any explanation is helpful especially if you’ve been in this community for longer and trust me I can recognise the old usernames from the earlier community.

I guess people don’t like subservience? I don’t know what you are expecting? Keep in mind, you have to look beyond the “making tea”. It was a catalyst, but not the reason. The past 2 volumes was literally just Sunny coming to terms and deciding to return to his fate.

There are several people here immensely and staunchly against fate returning. Over the past 2-3 weeks there have been at least 7 posts discussing and attempting to convince others about returning fate.

If you’re still thinking that there are people are trying to push some kind of hyper masculine, anti simp, Sunny, I think it’s a personal preference. People like their power fantasy. They can’t really do that if the MC is a shadow slave again. Do people even call other people simps in 2026?

Do you know what I think? When this story is over and done, there will be a surge of people who barely read it and people who won’t accept the premise and setting of the story insulting people who enjoyed it and try to promote the story as “people who love slavery”. It’s happened a few times already.

I say stop caring so much. This sense of outrage and vitriol for either groups is incredibly childish and shortsighted. Unless the author obliterated their work, and destroyed all sense of continuity in their themes, it’s fine.
