    Man, disappointing. I was enjoying this arc but I don’t care about Vile at all so this has sort of just culminated into nothing. Sunny is returning to being a slave so why cuck the rewards and nerf him on top of that?

    Honestly makes me think we’re going to see a big Nephis betrayal or something soon. Time to stack for sure

      how was he weakened? a couple of shadows were missing? but he got the Abomination, but yes, maybe he felt sorry for the moth... he should also conquer the millions of moths that live on the walls of the pyramid

        Well, actually, the true name is a huge buff I will acknowledge that. If the author doesn’t let him truly use shadow dance now…

        But getting the spell back has been hinted to be this huge event for him. One thing I’ve been really looking forward to is the legacy but it’s just gone which is boring.

        Finally, he lost two sacred level shadows. Rat King and Worm. Somehow the bird killed a god worm whose whole point is being hard to kill in like 3 seconds which is interesting.

          The sacred shades were useful, but not as strong as Sunny's shadows... Saint, fiend, slayer and nightmare are stronger

            No. Nightmare is the only one with a chance against either of them. Honestly, all of the other shadows vs one of the sacreds is still heavily favored in the sacred’s direction.

            The worm and rat on their own took, Sunny, Kai, Slayer, and shadow army to beat with difficulty. None of the shadows are getting that treatment.

            I think you’re under the impression that the shadows are stronger because Sunny doesn’t use his sacred shades all that well.

      Why would it weaken him? With their bond, both he and she will become stronger. And losing Memories doesn't make him weaker. Memories play an important role mostly at ranks below Supreme.

        Im not frustrated about the memories really. Mostly that his unclaimed legacy is just gone. Also, that the stealing seems inconsistent. The bird steals dull/dark things now, but left, weavers mask, the lantern, jade mantle attribute or any of his shadows.

        And yeh you’re right this is probably a buff overall. He was never very good at using his shades anyways.

      Being connected to Nephis is actually a buff. They can both buff each other... They tried it out after Nephis returned from the forgotten shores

    All of the divine gods and void beings are on fraud watch because they should have killed VTB's bitch ass LONG ago. I can understand the VTB doing this to Sunny because he is still a lower rank than the bird, but the bird is STILL around after all this time. This made me stop constantly raising the bird's stocks and made me question the aura of all the divine and void beings in their incapability of killing one Cursed Terror, whom they suffered from, long before Sunny should have ever had the misfortune of coming across.

          My friend, that's why the thieves in all the stories are so legendary, stealing cults, empires and everything and never getting caught. To deserve the name "legendary thief," you need at least that much on your resume.

          She has no combat abilities, I think, and even her ability to steal has a strong side effect. All this bird can do is steal, hide, and run away. She's barely shown any of these abilities, so we don't even know what she's really capable of.

    This is justified. Sunny didn't prepare shit for a being that troubled even gods, like even they couldn't kill this thing and sunny though he could kill it without any issues, like come on bro. So I think this is justified. Plus the new shadow Vile is strong. Atleast was strong in the fight, who knows how it performs in the future fights.

    Also idk but vile seems so cute ^-^

    I don’t understand why Sunny’s character is fated to be a slave from Nephis.

    "Shadow Slave" doesn't mean "Nephis Slave".

    I just hope the whole story won't gravitate around "Being a slave from Nephis."

      Normally I would say that he is an attraction to the novel, but thinking about it, the desire for freedom (even though he gave it up) is Sunny's main driving force. He is by nature a very passive individual who does not take the initiative in moving the story forward. If it were up to him, he would have lived alone and happily in that castle on the forgotten shore, or been content with just being awaken and establishing a company, ordinary things that a person with divine aspect should not be content with.

        I understand what you mean and I partially agree with you. Indeed, Sunny's character is a peculier one. From all my readings so far, I think he is the only one willing to be enslaved to someone else. (One can name it "Choice of freedom" if willing to)

        I mean that being enslaved "to your ideas" is something more appealing than being enslaved to someone.

        Even though Love can be somewhat called "Being a slave from your desires."

        I think that I'm just frustrated to see a MC being enslaved by someone else. That conception is very bad to me.

        So I hope things will evolve in a good way because I don't want to remember this story as "Being enslaved to someone is a good thing", if you know what I mean.

      It’s like everyone’s IQ suddenly drops when we talk about the Shadow Bond. He had an entire character arc explaining why he was okay with becoming a slave again because to choose your own weakness/bond is a freedom as well.

        Just because someone doesn't understand something doesn't mean he/she is an idiot. I Don’t know how your worldview is but if by definition those who doesn't agree with your opinion are idiots, then that's sad.

        Don’t forget that we all are the idiot of someone else, you included. So be kind towards th others.

          Calling someone an idiot isn’t mean. It’s barely an admonishment. I’m not taking any idiocy over the Shadow Bond, arguably the best symbolic representations of the potency of love and what it does to you. Anyone who stops at the surface level “don’t trust your slaver” message is doing this writing an injustice

    7 memories, 7 cores, 7 bodies, 7 shadows, 7000 shadow fragments. Weaver's 7-part legacy likely will combine once completed, so there will be 6 attributes, so 1 more to go. It's all coming together.

    I really love the contrast between the beginning of the battle, when Sunny was ready to die, and the end, when he's genuinely sad about being robbed. A truly greedy shadow. And then there are those little details, like how the Sunphies visited all the important locations from the third nightmare, but only Sunny participated in the destruction of the Weave and saw the reflection of the Nether. I wonder if that reflection will appear again in the story? Or that VTB used Sunny's favorite method to win. Or that after losing and regaining his destiny, Sunny does the same thing—sits and analyzes his abilities.

    I honestly think that this is very stupid way of nerfing Sunny. I'm reading this since it had only 80 chapters or something like that so don't tell me how I can't appreciate it. I strongly believe that this was unnecessary, like sure let VTB escape but to steal all of this, and where is new memory he got for killing it? If he doesn't become Sacred by trying to escape from tomb it's all pointless.

        How was he nerfed? The sacred shades abundance and rat king were mainly used for crowd control... When it comes down to a fight, his shadows Saint, slayer and fiend are stronger... Now he also got Vile.
        If you want to talk about Sunny being nerfed, that happened when he lost his fate and connection to the nightmare spell. He missed out on thousands of memories, charms, echoes, and even his aspect legacy. He would have gotten better memories for his shadows...
        We all know that Sunny relied a lot on his memories and was forced to adapt after he lost his connection to the spell.

            Yeah I agree, but I already said it feels so unnecessary and forced to me. Those shades were also very powerful and useful, without them he wouldn't be able to even enter piramid in first place.

          With all the twists, turns and timey whimy stuff, how could you know what’s necessary. I doubt we have seen the last of the VTB. She might use her loot and new shadow powers to steal one of Asterions eyes or maybe even his brainwashing abilities. Hmmm.

            I'm sure we will see more of VTB, it was obvious from very beginning that her importance to story is extraordinary. Honestly I doubt it will help in any shape of form against Asterion. VTB is already very powerful and if she really wanted do steal something from Asterion I doubt that Sunnys shades and citadel would help her that much. Anyway, the point is I just think this was unnecessary nerfing for Sunny. I'm not author and have no idea how will he use this, it's just my opinion as a long time reader.

              You could be correct about Aster and the bird. But the VTB does appear, at least to me, to be the perfect counter to Asterions powers. I referenced the shadow stuff because the birds taste has changed since he became a shadow. Who knows what else has. It could have stolen everything and taking Noctis chair and the saddle seems sunless level petty. Also, spirits and higher can’t interact with the mortal world without an avatar and it has been written that they have little use for memories or echos. That might explain why he is left with just his 7 favorites. I imagine Sunni will pass down most of his soul sea goodies to Vile. Does he still have the horde of weapons he collected from the sunken city? G3 does not introduce things without reason. I’m honestly hoping this does not turn into mostly thought powers, finger flick killing, slapping people to death or hard to understand karmic backlash type plot armor. I know, that was oddly specific. My bad.

                VTB is good counter for many, she reminds me of Amon from LOTM. As for powers, the closer they are to divine the more mysterious they are. Sunny will probably be able to kill weaker beings just by his will, since will is shown as one of the most important things here.

        As I already said, I don't have problem with bird escapeing. But stealing everything so easily and him being unable to do anything about it is kind disappointing. Let's be honest, it's just too much. Also I'm sure Waiver let bird steal from him.

          Bruh. It's VTB!! A sacred terror now. Might as well call it the spirit of stealing. People complained before about it not using its powers against Sunny. And now when it does other people complain about it using them? And what's so f#cking unnecessary about sunny losing some shades and a f#cking chair? He lost his fate and true name (and shadow dance with it) before. He lost all the people he cared about. If you don't like the Mc losing shit you might as well go read some overpowered-mc-harem-sloppy-f#cking-isekai.

            Don't forget that Sunny gained his freedom back, even if only temporary, and we all know hom much he wanted it back. Now he did get his name and fate back, sure he should be able to use shadow dance now, but he lost his freedom again. In grand scheme of things it wasn't that big of a nerf, but I'm still saying that losing shades was unnecessary.

              Ok fine what do you mean by unnecessary?
              In terms of power. I don't think the stolen things will affect sunny rn. Sure when he reclaimes the sacred memory and aspect legacy reward he'd be more powerful. But right now it doesn't affect him this much.
              Also, you are comparing the biggest f#cking heartbreak in all the novel with him getting kinda nerfed? Come on man.
              Still what do you mean unnecessary?

                I don't think this is a disaster for him, just unnecessary. I don't belive he was overpowered so much that he needed this. He lost shades that helped him enter tomb, which is rather important if u asked me. Just remember how much he struggled to conquer centipedes and now he lost them. The thing is I didn't write it nicely in my original comment, so there is a lot of people misunderstanding me. I don't usually comment on chapters so I didn't expect this much people commenting.

                  Sunny being at a disadvantage often gave us better fights and deeper combat. I'd say it was necessary to give vile more importance. And now that he has shadow bond he will find more things to do merging his domain with Neph's (mark my word in this one).
                  In conclusion, you arguing for the sake of it. G3 has every aspect of the novel really thought out. So you don't even understand what's necessary and what's not imo.

                  I already acknowledge that VTB is important to story and progress, and I'm not author to know what will happen next (G3 probably have plan). I'm just saying that I don't see the point of it happening, how it will improve the story now except Sunny will struggle more and be more resentful. That's all, there is no deeper meaning to my opinion.
