    The barren landscape of the Eastern Quadrant shifted subtly as Sunny approached the coastal regions. Signs of civilization began to emerge—distant smoke plumes, worn paths cutting through the wasteland, the occasional glint of metal in the distance. He was nearing human territory now, which meant Nightmare needed to proceed with greater caution.

    Sunny extended his shadow sense across the terrain like invisible tendrils, mapping every settlement, outpost, and patrol route within miles. They moved carefully around these obstacles—discovery would be catastrophic. After all, the world believed the Lord of Shadows to be dead, and it was best to keep it that way.

    He exhaled slowly, a sound that carried both weariness and satisfaction.

    The anticipated clash between Saint and Slayer remained unresolved. While this brought a twinge of disappointment, Sunny found himself oddly at peace with the delay.

    Swaying gently with Nightmare's rhythmic gait, he allowed himself a quiet moment of reflection.

    *How far I've come, * he mused.

    His power had grown beyond all expectations. Supreme rank was his, and with it came command over four Supreme Shadows—Saint, Slayer, Serpent, and Fiend. Nightmare would likely ascend to higher ranks soon, and even Mimic had achieved Transcendent status.

    The Shadow Legion itself had flourished during their time in the Burned Forest, now boasting Sacred-tier shades among its ranks.

    Such overwhelming power...

    It was the kind of strength typically reserved for divine beings, not mortals. There was no point in false modesty—he possessed enough raw force to level entire worlds. If that didn't qualify as godlike, what possibly could?

    "But that's missing the point entirely," he murmured to himself.

    Destruction alone didn't create divinity. Any fool could tear down what others had built. True godhood lay in creation—the miraculous ability to bring new worlds into existence. And despite all his power, Sunny couldn't create worlds.

    He could, however, craft extraordinary things.

    His fingers brushed against his chest as memories of the Dark City's forge flooded back. Those grueling weeks spent creating his first shadowbound Memory had nearly broken him. The process had been so taxing that he still hadn't fully recovered, yet the results filled him with quiet pride.

    "Worth every moment of suffering," he whispered.

    The achievement would have been impossible without Mind Weave's assistance.

    The ruined cathedral's great hall lay shrouded in unnatural quiet. After a full year of constant hammering from the King of Swords’ shade, the silence felt almost oppressive. The Shadow Legion had withdrawn into Sunny's soul during his unconscious recovery from Mind Weave's integration, leaving the sacred space eerily vacant.

    Sunny barely noticed the stillness, his attention consumed by the intricate model suspended above him—a vast spellweave that stretched from floor to ceiling, its complexity staggering to behold.

    "Nearly complete now," he said, studying the shadowwork patterns.

    This weave represented years of dedicated effort. The initial concepts had formed shortly after he'd forged the Blessing, evolving and refining over countless iterations. Most of the foundational work had been completed before his recent collapse, but Mind Weave had provided the key to resolving the final theoretical conflicts. Of course, this shadowy model remained purely hypothetical—theory and practice were often cruelly different.

    still, Sunny sensed this was as ready as he'd ever be. Waiting for perfect conditions was a luxury he couldn't afford.

    Shadowbound Memories operated on entirely different principles than ordinary ones. Their weaves needed to be dynamic, capable of growth and adaptation. This required patterns that balanced rigid structure with organic flexibilty—a paradox he'd learned to navigate while creating the Blessing.𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

    Watching the Spell improve upon his original design had given him the confidence to attempt his own shadowbound creation.

    «Time to begin.*

    The approaching Dreamspawn threat and the remaining Weaver's Lineage fragments created an urgency he couldn't ignore.

    The intricate shadow tapestry dissolved at his command, flowing back into darkness. Three figures emerged from the shadows moments later, moving toward the forge with purposeful strides.

    His own incarnations, naturally. One remained in the Burned Forest while two worked alongside Nephis south of the Hollow Mountains. Four pairs of hands would have to suffice.

    Even the Dark Lord of the Forgotten Shore had abandoned his throne for this endeavor, leaving Aiko to manage the Shadow Clan's affairs alone.

    The Shadow Forge's great anvil stood empty, the King of Swords" shade waiting silently behind it. Each incarnation placed their collected materials on the weathered surface with reverent care.

    The final component landed with a clear metallic chime that shattered the cathedral's silence. Sunny examined the gathered ingredients.

    Shadows preserved in eternal frost from the Winter Beast's death. A polished ivory fragment—bone from the colossal Soul Serpent whose remains he'd discovered in the Shadow Realm and later used against Slayer.

    A spool of Nether's diamond thread, recovered from the Ebony Tower's depths. Strands of midnight silk, woven by the Puppeteer's own hands.

    And finally...

    Seven iron rings.

    Not merely rings, but links from an ancient chain—the very bonds the Sun God had used to imprison Hope, which Sunny had claimed in the Ivory Tower's Gateway Hall

    One crucial ingredient remained.

    His own blood.

    sunny looked toward Anvil's shadow and managed a weary smile.

    "I hope you're ready for this."

    This work would demand everything from both of them.

    Soon, flames roared to life in the forge, and the ancient rhythm of hammer on anvil echoed through the cathedral once more.

    The creation of a shadowbound charm had begun.

    Shade is like a neutral shadow who is just in his vast army of all the beings sunny killed, shadows are the things, which he converted from shades into shadows, now those shadows reside in his soul cores instead of soul sea with the army

    Thanks for the info.
    What about the shadow helpers Gloomy, Happy Shadow, Creepy Shadow, Haughty Shadow, Naughty, Crazy andLlazy Shadows. What happened to them? Did they cease to exist when they became Sunny's incarnation form? I'm curious....

      no, they are still around. it is just that sunny constantly controls them ig. but when his main conciousness is somehow lost like in ariel's game, they will be themselves i think

        So it's like Sunny is main consciousness while they are the subconscious. If he gets KOd the shadow helper of that incarnation will awaken and takeover? That's broken, but it makes sense though. Their consciousness is always dormant because sunny is always awakened.

        So who was the helper who tookover that time in the Ariel's chess game that Sunny couldn't remember... pretty badass helper to take on the enemies sunny and Kai couldn't handle, then had Slayer run for safety....don't tell me that was the Crazy one.

        The more answers I get the more questions come up. If crazy helper took over and killed the opponents, shouldn't their shades be there added afterwards? Did crazy eat their shades too? That's crazy.

    Makes me wonder what the difference even is between slayer and the others. She’s the only one who is described as having an aspect, but they all have attributes and abilities as well as ranks and classes.

        LoL Marvelous Mimic is the most left out. People can't even remember his name and keep calling him box, house, chest, shop, castle etc. etc.

        I know he's actually Sunny's personal favorite though. He crafted it himself and named it with the worst naming he could come up with.

      I think I missed the part about Ravenous Fiend. Which arc did he evolved? The fact that he's still ravenous unlike onyx is now jade means he's not evolved yet right?

    There is probably a correlatition between Slayers transcended ability to shapeshift and the fact that she wants to drink Weavers blood

    If you guys ever wonder how nephis never gets tired is because
    She endures all of Sunny's Incarnations cracking her
    So since a woman has three holes
    Three incarnations will take each one,once those get tired,the other three Incarnations will take over and then the last one will assume the form of the shadowspawn and manifest 20inches.
    All of this count as one round
    At least 20rounds will be good
