So is there a chance for people with other aspects to become gods? Because here gods are born as gods not rose to godhood.

Sad to take a break from this novel to read LOTM and watch the anime to go with it. Praying for the day Shadow Slave gets its own animation!

        Yeah I’ve been enjoying it so far, on chap ~720ish. IMO it’s a bit harder to follow then most novels, a ton of characters and info dumping and its all about mysteries so I guess that’s to be expected. Would still rate what I’ve read of Shadow Slave over what I’ve read so far tho but I still got half to finish.

Soon, Sunny and Jet continued their journey. The landscape of East Antarctica remained the same, and so did the dangers they faced. The two of them traveled across the desolate plain, sometimes avoiding the Nightmare Creatures, sometimes engaging in short and furious battles. Sunny felt a little bit numb, and was glad to have a task to focus on. With all his attention concentrated on keeping them alive, he had no time for unnecessary thoughts, which suited him just fine.
Jet, meanwhile, was slowly recovering her powers. The more abominations she killed, the less like a corpse she looked. At some point, she allowed herself to summon a few Memories, and was now wearing a light suit of armor that was made of black, lusterless leather. Now that she wielded a weapon, her lethality had soared, too.
For Sunny, it was fascinating to watch Jet slowly come back to life. Her eyes were once again the familiar icy blue, her movements becoming as swift, murderous, and purposeful as they had been before. This was the fearsome Soul Reaper he knew - she might not have reached her peak condition yet, but she did not resemble a shambling corpse anymore, either.
Most interesting of all, her lifeless shadow had regained its vitality. By now, he would have never suspected that the person in front of him was not actually alive.
A few days passed, and then a few more. Two whole weeks had passed since the destruction of Falcon Scott. They had spent half of that time crossing the strait, and half traversing the snowy plain. The plain was as inhospitable and vast as ever.
Sunny made Nightmare stop, waiting for his shadows to assess the size of a distant horde of Nightmare Creatures. These past few days, there had been more and more abominations around, all moving in the same direction. Weaving between them was growing harder.
Somewhat bored, he shifted in the saddle and asked: "Hey... do you think the government considers us dead?"
Jet, who was sitting in front of him, turned her head and gave him an amused look. Sunny sighed. "No pun intended."
He knew that his friends had to be aware that he was fine - Nephis could see his runes, after all, and she would have informed the rest. However, being pronounced dead by the government was a bothersome affair. His merchant license would have been revoked, for example, which would put Aiko and the Brilliant Emporium in a tight spot. His home could be auctioned off, too.
Jet chuckled. "I don't think so. They have ways to know such things - the diviners, for example. We were probably marked as missing in action. If anyone even had time to do the paperwork."
Sunny wanted to continue the conversation, but then fell silent, a slight frown appearing on his face. Soul Reaper raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
He shook his head. "Shh. Listen."
At that moment, the wind carried over the sound of distant thunder. It sounded like a rainstorm was raging somewhere far away, but Sunny had spent too much time with the army not to recognize it.
The two of them exchanged a meaningful glance. Jet smiled. "Railguns."
Indeed, the thunderous sound could only be produced by the massive armaments.
Commanding Nightmare to turn, Sunny sent his steed in the direction where the thunder had come from. The black stallion flew across the desolate plain, eventually cresting a tall hill.
In front of them was a vast lake. In the dim twilight, its surface seemed restless and grey. The shield of ice covering the lake had long been broken, with many gargantuan carcasses floating in the cold water like dark islands. Smaller Nightmare Creatures were swarming around them, greedily devouring the flesh of the fallen giants.
On the other side of the lake, tall alloy walls rose from the shore, with thousands of armaments unleashing a devastating barrage of tungsten rounds on the encroaching mass of abominations. Sunny could even discern the small shapes of soldiers and Awakened on the battlements.
A long sigh escaped from his lips. "A siege capital."
Summoning the Sin of Solace, Sunny closed his eyes for a moment. Then, he sent Nightmare galloping down the hill.
The black steed rushed toward the lake, surrounded by a tide of moving shadows.
Returning from the dead had turned out to be much more chaotic than Sunny expected... and fighting through the horde of Nightmare Creatures to reach the siege capital was not the most tumultuous part. He was actually accustomed to things like that.
The reactions of the people inside the stronghold were much more intense. At first, the commander of the city defenses seemed polite, but unfriendly - after all, the sudden appearance of two Ascended outside the walls during a fierce battle had put a lot of pressure on him.
Fields of fire had to be rearranged, a safe corridor created... perhaps his soldiers would even have to sortie to protect the unexpected guests. However, the latter measure had not been needed. Sunny fought his own way to the wall, and then scaled it himself.
And when the Master in charge learned that the two Ascended had come from the Antarctic Center, his demeanor completely changed.
"Falcon Scott? B-but..."
The man stared at them with wide eyes for a moment. Then, something akin to joyous pride ignited in them.
Sunny did not really know what the Master was feeling so proud about, but at least the unfriendliness immediately disappeared.
"Gods... great! This is great! I need to inform the... no, wait. Are you guys wounded? Do you need medical attention? Crap, what am I saying... wait, Antarctic Center? Then you are Soul Reaper Jet? Ascended Jet, ma'am... of course, you would make it!"
The news about the annihilation of the Antarctic Center field army must have already spread through the Quadrant, so the sudden appearance of two Ascended survivors had an explosive effect. The soldiers, who had been depressed and despondent about the fate of their comrades, were all suddenly full of joy and ardor.
It was as though their own siblings had returned alive from beyond the grave.
Sunny had not experienced being stared at so intently even when masquerading as Mongrel.
The two of them were promptly brought to the local government headquarters and showered with attention... especially Jet. From what Sunny could understand, the government Saint stationed in East Antarctica was coming to the siege capital to welcome her back personally.
Sunny was soon going to meet the Saint, too.
After a short debriefing, during which the government agents could not stop staring at him, he could finally exhale and relax a little.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm
'That was strangely exhausting.'
Sunny spoke to Jet, agreeing to meet the next morning, and then spent a little time in the living quarters assigned to him. He enjoyed a warm shower, a scrumptious meal, and some peace and quiet.
Peace and quiet... it felt so strange, to not have to fight for his life, and the lives of millions of other people, without a reprieve. He wondered how long that peace would last.
Eventually, Sunny placed a tether inside his room and quietly slipped out of the waking world.
He went to visit the Ivory Tower.

  On a beautiful island of ancient trees and emerald grass, a lone figure suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was a young man with alabaster skin, wearing a simple tunic of fine black silk. He remained motionless for a few moments, then walked to the edge of the island and froze there, looking down. If not for the wind playing with the young man's black hair, he would have looked like an exquisite statue.
  The Ivory Island had changed a bit in the past few months. The great pagoda itself was the same, of course, but the comely wooden buildings created by the Fire Keepers now resembled a small, peaceful village that blended harmoniously into the landscape. The ancient trees of the grove now had fruit hanging from their branches, each looking ripe and delicious.
  The white bones of the ancient dragon were still bathed in sunlight, and a graceful ship was still swaying on the placid surface of the clear lake.
  There was one big change that startled Sunny a lot, though, pulling him out of his reverie. 'What the hell...'
  Looking down, he did not see the familiar abyssal darkness of the Sky Below. Instead, he saw a mosaic of flying islands, all connected by colossal chains, slowly floating by.
  The Ivory Island was moving.
  Although the movement was very slow, it had already left the empty expanse of the Tear behind, and was now drifting through the clouds toward the southern border of the Chained Isles.
  Sunny blinked a couple of times. 'Since when can this thing move?'
  He lingered for a while, studying the landscape below, then walked along the edge of the Ivory Island.
  It seemed that many things had changed while he was in Antarctica.
  Soon, Sunny reached the waters of the clear lake, which glinted and shone with the reflected sunlight. There was a stone bench near the shore, and a familiar figure sitting on it with a fishing rod in her hand.
  Tall, attractive, brimming with vitality... Effie was relaxing in the sun and watching the lake.
  Sunny walked closer and remained silent for a while. Eventually, he said: "There's actually fish in that lake?"
  Effie shrugged lazily. "Who knows? That's what I'm trying to find out. Hopefully! I developed a taste for fish... and sea monsters... after being stuck on a ship for an entire month."
  Then, she suddenly froze, and slowly turned around. fbfhh
  Effie's hazel eyes shone with glee. "Sunny?! It's you?!"
  He smirked. "Who else would it... argh! Gods! Put me down, you savage idiot!"
  The huntress had instantly swept him into a crushing hug, and considering their difference in height, Sunny felt his feet leaving the ground. His voice was full of righteous indignation: "I said... gods, don't you have any modesty?! Let go of me!"
  Effie exploded with laughter and put him down... and it was a good thing, too. Sunny was this close to using the [Feather of Truth] to turn himself as heavy as a huge chunk of marble. He only hesitated because that might have had no effect on her.
  When did you arrive?! No, wait... where the hell are you?! Neph told us that you are alive, but the news from the Antarctic Center... doofus, are you really alright? What happened?"
  Sunny gave her a resigned look, then shook his head.
  "Just now. East Antarctica. I guess. As for what happened..."
  He sighed. "Let me think for a moment. I went through six thousand kilometers of abomination-infested mountains, received a couple of medals, traversed an endless tunnel full of elemental darkness, got killed by a titan, killed that titan back, led a convoy of tens of thousands of refugees to safety, rode a Saint into the depths of the ocean to fight a Corrupted Terror, killed that Terror, got blown up, then killed some more Nightmare Creatures, then lost to a different Titan, crossed the strait on a raft, rode a horse all the way to the nearest siege capital... that pretty much covers it, I guess. Oh, I also learned how to play the flute. A little."
  Sunny paused, then looked at Effie nonchalantly: "And what's new with you?"
  She stared at him for a moment, then grinned, wrapped her arm around his shoulder, and pulled him toward the tower.
  "I see! So, the usual. Don't think that you're getting out of really telling us what happened, though... we've been worried sick, you know! Kai almost had a heart attack right before we disembarked in East Antarctica, when the news of what happened in Falcon Scott reached us! Even Princess seemed a bit shaken... I swear to the dead gods, I almost saw her having a facial expression. Come, let's find the rest of the guys..."
  Sunny estimated his chances of struggling free of Effie's hold as moderate, but then just relaxed and allowed himself to be led toward the Ivory Tower. That was why he had come here, after all, to speak with the other members of the cohort. He needed to share a lot of practical knowledge with Kai and Effie, as well as speak with Nephis and Cassie about the great clans...
  But more than that, he simply wanted to see them. There was a lot of darkness and confusion in his heart, but his friends... his cohort... despite all the complicated matters between them, they were like a small island of stability in the chaotic, unpredictable, deadly world they were all living in.
  He had missed them all.
  Even though, perhaps, he shouldn't have.
  The four months Sunny had spent in Antarctica changed a lot of things, making some seem unimportant, and some more significant than they used to be.
  He shook his head. "Fine, fine... I'm coming. Can you let me go now?"
  Sunny sighed. 'At least she did not joke about the Graceless Dusk...'
  At that moment, Effie gave him a mischievous look.
  "Doofus, I couldn't help but notice... what a nice dress you have..."
  He gritted his teeth. "Tunic. It's a tunic. A Transcendent armor-type Memory which is not a dress, but a tunic. Are you blind or what?!"
