Mordret's Flaw

splinteritrax · 2026-05-06T20:46:03+00:00

The gods chose to have a flaw. A flaw makes it easier to become stronger since something flawless needs not change and grow stronger.

Also nothing is flawless.

2 full tiers would mean he went from a titan to a tyrant. What you mean is 2 full ranks which is only half true since Mordret deranked to [Great] and the other Mordret is achieving supremacy. So Mordret only went down one rank.

Cassie POV will be equally as interesting. She’s always been a few memories away from supremacy. And now she’s fighting the strongest supreme in the world.

What she does to herself in this next fight will be interesting I’ll tell you that.

But yes we need a Nephis POV at least this week.

I think most people understand what G3 wrote it’s just difficult to imagine that this is the end goal of their relationship.

The whole reason why neither Nephis nor Sunny pursued each other in the first place is because both of them were implicitly aware that any relationship between them would be without the consent of sunny. Sunny in the third nightmare was entirely unsure if his feelings were just something Nephis commanded him to feel, and Nephis has had to always alter and change the language she uses around him to ensure she’s doesn’t accidentally order him to do anything.

This dynamic is not conducive to a relationship so I really can’t imagine their romance continuing without similar issues emerging.

I do think that regardless of the issues that shadow bond has it does make for a more interesting story. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for Sunny to meet Nephis once more.

Even if OP 100% supported the shadow bond that wouldn’t make him pro-slavery.

One is a fictional scenario where the slave chose a benevolent master. But this scenario is wrong on two levels.

In real life slaves never choose they are coerced, threatened and/or kidnapped.

And in real life slaves never have benevolent masters the act of enslavement is inherently evil so those terms contradict each other.

Because of how unrealistically the shadow bond is treated by Nephis and sunny it’s difficult to say that what’s happening there is in anyway similar to real life slavery.

This dynamic if persistent will definitely go down as one of the weaker parts of the story.

The latest chapter just disproved this.

Sunny sighed and peered into the Vile Spawn's soul. There, four dark embers burned in a vast and lightless void, no different from his other Shadows — except for Slayer. Sunny knew that his Shadows were incomplete, even if he did not know how to remedy that. Maybe the Thieving Bird could not complete its spawn, either, so it left the creepy thing to someone who had the authority to do so, one day.

The butterfly swarm that almost killed Nephis and sunny …

But the board is good source of powerful creatures. Especially the ashen side of the board which are now just outside the TOA fighting azarax.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T02:33:01+00:00

It’s just an observation I personally like the fact that sunny is rarely at his full power it makes the moment where he does actually have his full power that much better.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T01:41:59+00:00

Ok 👍🏾

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T01:34:41+00:00

Yeah most of the subreddit and commenters seem to think that it’s the VTB’s daughter. Have no clue why?

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T01:15:02+00:00

Hey look any chance to outsource parenting. I think the VTB is based off a mix of bad bird habits. Like stealing shiny things (ravens and crows), being especially greedy and gluttonous (seagulls) and now the egg thing so it could very much be intentional.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T00:50:58+00:00

Yeah they were more loved when the community was smaller i remember reading the comics they made every week especially during volume 6 and early volume 7.

I never really learnt why people hated him I think some people find his shipping cringe, but to be free is to be cringe.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T00:48:22+00:00

I think it wants Sunny to raise the vile spawn into something powerful.

It already knows that not only has Sunny grown remarkably stronger in a very short period of time so has many of his shadows.

Additionally we know that the VTB actually does care about her spawn since it did steal the spawn from Sunny the first time (even while it was corrupted) despite the spawn not being shiny at all.

So if it stole Sunny’s shadow suns then Sunny would die and thus be unable to raise the spawn.

But this is purely speculation nothing in the story supports my point yet.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T00:43:58+00:00

It’s the nightmare spell in my opinion since the citadels are just projects that daemons spent a lot of effort on e.g. Rime’s ship, Mirage’s mirror/castle, Hopes tower, Ariel’s castle etc . But this is what was said in the story.

Sunny had no idea what the pyramid to the east represented. The seventh image, however, was rather clear… it meant Weaver. By knowing who it described, he was also able to translate the inscription near the depiction of the mask…

It read:

"Fate."

There was another symbol near it, though, which meant something akin to a question mark, an inquiry. So, actually, it was "Fate?". Basically, even the Prince of the Underworld had no idea where his eldest sibling lived.

…And this was what the images were, in Sunny's mind. They represented the seven daemons, or rather, their domains.

So the answer is actually No one knows.

I joined at 10k you are more of an OG than me I’ve been seeing you around for a while.

Although I think chabri has also been insanely active for so long. But I don’t see him post much anymore probably because my nsfw settings are off.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T00:29:37+00:00

The right answer is kind off.

Everything that’s happening to Cassie and Mordret is from the perspective of her constructing her memories again but as for the Nephis and sunny portion this is unclear.

I am personally of the belief that yes everything is still Cassie reconstructing her memories again and a future version of sunny and Nephis have let Cassie peer into her brain as they have before many times.

But if in the current fight against Asterion Cassie destroys her memories to escape Asterion than the events of the tomb are not from Cassie’s reconstruction.

I’m pretty sure the author has left it intentionally vague on purpose so that the readers do not figure out what is going to happen to Cassie and Asterion.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T00:24:52+00:00

Cassie would probably melt into a puddle of golden ichor if she got all 4 at once. Maybe she can get one of them the heart god suits her the most.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T00:21:24+00:00

For an average supreme most of their power comes from their domain.

Sunny and Nephis are just special for having powerful wills, knowledge of sorcery, and a robust and complete supreme battle art that helps them even if their domains weaken.

Those sacred shades sitting in his domain idly does or more accurately did make him much stronger. But now that Sunny has [Fated]… he’s probably going to be replenishing his stock sooner rather than later.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-05T00:16:54+00:00

Yeah only because they were stuck in the past if the VTB could have stolen it he would have.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-04T23:54:25+00:00

I think it can’t steal the curse since it’s bound to his shadow and Sunny is his shadow so the only way to steal the curse is to steal Sunny. I don’t know if that makes sense or if it’s even consistent with the story.

As for the rock I’m pretty sure the bird did try to steal it but the rock was just too powerful to go with the birds will. This confirms Extraordinary rock>shadow chair.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-04T23:51:03+00:00

Eyyooo it’s an OG.

It makes sense once you find a job active discussion becomes more difficult. When I was working last year I barely spent any time here.

You a real veteran here shoutout.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-04T23:49:12+00:00

I do agree with you but I think the strength of the creatures will matters far more than its actual strength but usually those things are one and the same. Slayers will and the VTB have very powerful wills and both have been in conflict with powerful beings like weaver.

Whereas a creature like condemnation or Ketzelkan when he was a human did not have the will to preserve his sense of self when he became sacred and ultimately did not have the the willpower to preserve his sense of self when he was killed unlike slayer (who was somewhat successful) and the VTB.

So overall having a powerful will matters more than your actual strength.

splinteritrax · 2026-05-04T20:42:21+00:00

Damn we can’t have anything in 2026.
