    I feel bad for Nephis. She has to depend on all these people, who can be manipulated and controlled, to have her power. Whats the point if her whole domain in based on others feeling, she can loose it as easily as she got it. In this case Sunny and Mordret are way better, even Asterion since his domain is his thralls and are in his full control.
    I think Nephis would have cared little less about the population than se does now, if her domain didnt depend on it.

      I think we'll have a plot twist because the "longing" aspect of the domain will play a big role in the game-changing moment. But that's just my theory.

      It's not all bad, because Ariel's Tomb has cities full of potential members of her domain. There's one city there, maybe even dozens of them. (It would be pretty funny if Nethys accidentally mentioned Asterion's name in one of the cities and the plague spreads to the Tomb as well, lol.)
      Plus, in theory, not only humans could be members of her domain. I'm really curious if she could cure Nightmare Creatures or even capture corrupted ones for her own domain.

    Just based off this chapter. Im highly confident Nightwalker beats every one in the main cohort except Jet.

    Kai maybe could survive an encounter but he couldnt beat him

    In fact he could probably 1v3 Kai, cassie, and effie, but a 1v2 vs Kai and jet is a guaranteed loss

    And obviously hes not beating Sunny and Nephis. Not even as saints since they both have incorporeal forms and natural counters

    Nightwalker as a supreme tho would be scary asl

      What I am hoping is that how some abilities evolve when one goes to a higher rank, like it did with Asterion and Sunny etc. If Nightwalker becomes Supreme, I hope his awakened ability is able to evolve where he can shroud other people in that mystical containment suit which will be so useful

      I don't know about Effie though she could just take him out from far using brute force also I don't think the black hole would stop Effie in giant form yes his powers are amazing but is his own. Body more durable than Effie it's like alcides vs Gilgamesh
      Natural body vs divine armor there's a difference

        I dont think she could brute strength the very space Encompassing her limbs to a degree where she could fight nightwalker and live let alone win

        At absolute best shed have to strain herself constantly just to not be ripped apart not really being able to do anything but that

        Nightwalkers ability seems way too broken lmao

      As supreme his abilities would have his will so he could attack even incorporeal forms, but sunny and nephis will would be stronger than his anyway so it would be like now that sunny uses his incorporeal form against one of the undead and sunny said that the undead was trying to use its will to attack his incorporeal form but Sunny's will was stronger so at the the attack just went through his incorporeal form without doing any damage

    Shadowslave really has the most dangerous and deadliest people with Utility Aspects instead of combat ones. Nightwalker folding space to shorten distances and crush matter, maybe he can even do an Okayasu and Za Hando and just erase it completely like a windshield wiper.

      Meaningless distinction. His "non combat aspect" gives him super duper armor and super blades and teleportation and piercing. There are very few things which cant be weaponized.

        "Oh no, my ability allows me to manipulate someone else's hunger. What am I supposed to do with this nonsense? Open a restaurant?"
        And 20 chapters later he just forces the enemy's cells to devour each other.

    Why doesn't Asterion just appear right in front of Kes, like he did for Kai? How did he even manage to just show up that time? He can't be so stupid as to miss a dangerous saint a third time.

    Last time, he was only able to teleport to Kai after the little dragon called his name. Asterion said he did it just to troll Kai, but he could have been lying. And even earlier, a group of cultists called his name, after which he jumped off the moon. Around that time, Sunny called Eurys Asterion. Perhaps the entire Earth unconsciously uttered his name at that moment, and that's how he was finally able to return. It must be his transformation ability or the influence of the Storm Bloodline.

    Still, why doesn't the damn Nightwalker just call his daddy? Maybe that ability doesn't work so well on slaves? Trying to understand that bastard's abilities is pure torture.

    Does anyone remember the chapter number where Sunny fought Revel?

      Like I said before. This guy really sucks at trying to capture people lol. Jet, Ling Ling and going 0-2 for Cassie. If it were Mordret (before Supreme), bruh, Asterion would spend his whole life trying to capture him. Because that boy is slippier than water

      His "teleportation" ability must have some limitation, similar to Sunny's shadow step. In Sunny's case, there needs to be a shadow in the place he wants to go so he can jump to it; Asterion must need someone to call his name out loud.

      Kai's dragon words singing voice spread the idea of Asterion enough for everyone to manifest him into existence.

      That's the ideal idea with the deal

    I admit, this is really interesting.
    But, aside from the fact that there is no time or way for it, couldn't she fry his mind and erase all his memories and at the same time copy and isolate them elsewhere in her mind, so that later she could simply bring them back?

      Nah she can't do that cuz Astrion would be inside? night walkers mind. Like a virus if she went inside shed proly get cooked, but since she already did it once when there was that containment facility, i think it's proly cuz Astrion didn't care much abt them but he probably cares abt night walker

      Maybe if she'll use his eyes to look, loop into her eyes but she doesn't want to bring Asterion's influence as another burden on top of her battle with Night. Remember the last time she tried that on one of Asterion's thralls she fell right into his mind trap

    Seeing the creativity of how the side characters use their aspects make me so jealous Sunny is the mc. The only reason the author doesn't use the same creativity for sunny is because it would really be op. Imagine sunny commanded a shadow to slide down the enemies throat and into their stomach and he makes it expand into a bunch of saw blades rending his enemies from the inside? Or maybe he turns a shadow into a liquid with an acidic nature to dissolve his opponent from all sides. Only thing stopping him is plot😭😭 I wanna see my boy get creative too

      It won't work. Sunny couldn't manage to use the shadow step. He cannot use shadows inside his body on powerful enemies.

        Sure it's a reasonable reason but at the same time that's just an excuse at this point. Take how nightwalker was able to use his aspect inside Cassie. And a significant difference between all his other attempts and now is the progression of his will. His will is potent enough to survive against cursed abominations so I'm sure he can bend it to shape some shadows. Of course the examples I used were advanced but my overall point should still be clear.

          strong enough to resist, but not strong enough to win. The cursed creatures are one level higher than Sunny. How the hell is he going to defeat their will?

        Yeah but that was as a master inside the corpse of a great creature. I think his will has sufficiently grown since then

      Sunless (Sunny) follows a paradoxical progression where his overwhelming increase in raw power often creates a "crutch" effect, diminishing his need for the desperate, high-IQ maneuvers that defined his early survival.
      ‎This relationship can be expressed by the following conceptual formula:

      ‎$$C = \frac{I \times N}{P^2 + E}$$

      ‎Formula Breakdown

      ‎* $C$ (Creativity/Ingenuity): The final output of Sunny's ability to use his Aspect (Shadow Control, Manifestation, Step) in novel ways.
      ‎* $I$ (Base Intelligence): Sunny’s innate genius and analytical skills, which remain high but are often sidelined by more direct solutions as he ranks up.
      ‎* $N$ (Necessity/Desperation): The "Mother of Invention." In the Forgotten Shore, $N$ was at its peak because a single mistake meant death. As a Saint or Sovereign, $N$ decreases because his "base" form is already a walking natural disaster.
      ‎* $P$ (Raw Power/Rank): As Sunny ascends from Awakened to Saint and beyond, his essence quality and physical stats increase exponentially ($P^2$). High $P$ allows for "brute force" solutions, making complex, creative strategies redundant.
      ‎* $E$ (Essence Consumption/Efficiency): Higher-tier abilities (like Shadow Manifestation or Avatars) require massive amounts of essence. This often locks Sunny into "efficient" combat patterns rather than the experimental, creative flairs he used when essence was scarce.

      ‎Why Creativity Drops as Power Rises

      ‎ 1. The Brute Force Trap: When Sunny was a Sleeper, he had to use his shadows for reconnaissance and trickery because he couldn't take a hit. Now, with Bone Weave and Blood Weave, his durability allows him to simply outlast or overpower enemies, reducing the need for "genius" tactics.
      ‎ 2. Complexity Overhead: Managing multiple Shadow Avatars and a Domain consumes so much mental "bandwidth" that his ability to devise unique, micro-level creative uses for his Aspect is spread thin.
      ‎ 3. Predictability of Supremacy: As a Sovereign, Sunny’s power is so absolute that most encounters are decided by the weight of his Shadow Lantern or Domain rather than the clever "Shadow Step" maneuvers of his youth.

      Dagger to the gut works just as well, and powerful enemies have Will to protect themselves. And shadows cant just take any random shape, he still struggles to maintain his shadow form, even avoiding blows is not a guarantee. It takes minutes to conjure a shadow sofa. And shadows of smaller creatures would be just as weak as small creatures.
      And tricks like that would only work against humans, and he tries to avoid killing humans, or even making enemies. He had very few enemies. Lord and his lackeys on the forgotten shore, than sovereigns. He avoided killing human saints as much as he could. And Mordred is unkillable and barely counts as human.
      And he did use his infinite rat to kill stuff.

        Yeah I admit the examples I gave were advanced but the point is still that he should have more than enough control over his will at this point. As a supreme he should be able to enforce his will upon anything below the cursed rank and stand his ground (if not outright overpower) those of the great rank. And I'd argue that the creatures most resilient to this technique would be humans. Their will has been proven to be much more complex than most other nightmare creatures of the same rank precisely because of their intelligence.
