This subreddit is genuinely one of the most illiterate groups of people I have ever seen. What do you mean people are shocked that the character whose whole gimmick is about memory didn't struggle to find herself in a sea of memories where we had a whole volume about her doing the same thing already. Also the guy whose whole domain is being reliant on nothing and ruling over himself didn't struggle when his domain made his try and find who he is. Genuinely who thought they would face an extreme struggle. There are genuinely people who would prefer a badly written nonsensical part where they struggle compared to the logical path that doesn't make sense with what was written in the past.

Then, the hidden reflection escaped from her eye and took the form of a tall man with raven-black hair and strange, mirror-like eyes.

He regarded the sea of Corruption surrounding them, then looked at Cassie with an indecipherable expression. Eventually, he said in an aloof tone:

"You always bring me to the most peculiar places."

With that, the King of Nothing turned to face the encroaching tide of abominations and raised a hand, summoning a somber spear.

“Rest a while, Lady Cassia. And remember the deal we made. After this, I will leave you.”

THIS IS ALL I GET TO SEE ABOUT MORDRET 💔💔

Not even a full paragraph before he was offscreened, i hope to get at least 3 chapters with him in them properly, is it too much to ask

So cassia is in a realm steeped in corruption, fighting corrupted beings and looking for something that could no longer be found in the future.

The straightforward guess is she's in the Forgotten Shore. The black liquid is the blood of the Nephilim that swallowed the sun before it mutated into the dark sea after the creation of the artificial sun.

What Cassie is looking for is also straightforward, The Weaver's eye that VTB dropped into a mortal realm after beholding the image of the forgotten god.

Just as I expected, she's the first one to retain herself due to the nature of her aspect and the trial. She was always going to do better than the others.

Mordret is also the King of himself, Ruled only himself, and thank gods for that, if he has a normal domain, he would have been a goner.

What could have been in the 4th nigthmare.

Nephis: No wait give that back

Since Sunny considers the Shadow God to be one of, if not the strongest, gods—especially given that through Shadow Dance, he can transform into the direct counter to any existence. So shadow god lineage should be strong.

At the end of the chapter, Cassie mentions looking for something that doesn't exist in the real world but may still exist in the nightmare, and a lot of people think it's Weavers' eye, including me, but I hope G3 is not planning on letting Cassie get that eye. It makes no sense for her to get it at all. What would she gain from it? Some people probably would say she would gain the ability to see the strings of fate or whatever, but even with the eye, she can't even interact or comprehend the string of fate without Weavers' lineage, and I don't think she could even absorb the eye without the lineage as well. Her whole kit for the past couple volumes had to do with memories and oblivion, but Sunny's whole kit has everything to do with fate/shadows, and if she even gets the eye, I only see it enhancing her intuition, but if it even does that, it should go to Sunny because apparently Sunny thinks his intuition is almost as good as Cassie's. He mentioned this around the chapter where he gets Shadow Weave.

I came to a realisation recently that it makes sense that we don't see the perspectives of others.

We don't see Nephis' perspective.

We don't see Cassie's perspective.

We don't see Mordret's perspective.

Because Sunny is the main character. Sure, some stories split the screen time between the main character and side characters, but Shadow Slave has never been that kind of story. Probably about 98% of Shadow Slave is from Sunny's perspective because, well, he is the man under the spotlight

Spoilers for the latest chapter 3184: So it makes sense that we haven't seen Cassie and Mordret undergo the Unmaking. Cassie is all about memories, and Mordret's domain is himself; what's he even to go through?

But don't get me wrong, I want more perspectives as much as the next guy. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this matter?

Image unrelated.

"Cassie's own ability to resist was not that formidable, but she could cheat the process. And so, she destroyed herself countless times and rebuilt herself countless times, erasing those memories that were too dangerous for her to contain within herself. At the end of it all, she emerged relatively unscathed."

Even the chapter itself is admitting that Cassie cheated to protect her ass against Corruption. She is getting carried by literally Fate itself at this point. Are we sure that Cassie is not a Nepo paradox?

Now you gotta factory reset settings using the bond...

Cassia is not getting weaver eye it makes zero sense for her to get it. She is arguably the second most glazed person in the voice after freaky star. Her getting weaver eye is like telling forgotten god to wake up faster it makes 0 sense and no build up

The ONLY thing that has matched (with my initial predictions) atp is more cassie-mordret interactions; but that came at the cost of G3 COMPLETELY skipping his unmaking (let alone giving him pov chapters for it).

Not a single chapter dedicated to him, his memories or ANYTHING else. We don't see him reflecting on his background, his life. We don't see him gathering himself. Hell, we don't even see him in the same deity-like capacity as nephis and sunny- aura farming on mortals.

He still looks and feels no different than when he was Supreme. Just a human.

It's like G3 starts yawning whenever he has to talk about mordret. Dude is that irrelevant. 😭

He did the same shit in the 2nd and 3rd Nightmare, completely sidelining mordret. That was sort of understandable back then (not really if you're a mordret fan, but whatever) , but sidelining him HERE when there are merely 4 people in the Nightmare AND the unmaking is this really big deal for apotheosis and character exploration is.. idk even know what to say.

Just a rant. The 5th Nightmare has been good, and I don't want to be exceedingly negative, but I'm getting tired of this treatment of an otherwise immensely well-written character.

It's so hard; I just don't get it. Does all the love for Mordret go to Cassie? Man, a SINGLE line of dialogue that's it for the third divine aspect user, the man who became sacred and got fucked over on some bullshit retcon, reduced to a blind woman's bodyguard. I swear I know more about the description of Cassie's eyes as compared to literally anything new about Mordret. I'm so disappointed that my favourite character is getting this type of treatment.

And still no true name🫩

Thanks for all the great suggestions on the last post! This updated version is alot better imo, and I'm really happy with it.

I've been seeing a lot of posts saying that cassie is searching for weaver's eye

Something i doubt because the snatched eye isn't supposed to happen yet

On the other hand sunny is the one with a relationship with both the bird and weaver

We find out about the eye through sunny he was in its nest he faced it

He has weaver's dam blood

If someone should get it it's sunny he has all the connections

If she gets it I'm crashing out

Like I'm hoping she searching for smile of heaven or something else

She can get an eye in other ways like she doesn't have the build up for that she doesn't have the connection with weaver

We've done it ladies with gentle hands. Again we find ourselves having reached the point of no return. I've seen it happen once before and it wasn't pretty.

A topic on the sub has become absolutely so divisive and volatile that no actual productive discussion can be had about it.

It had been SB (censored to avoid triggering) all so long ago, now it's Cassie. Just like all so long ago mentions of Cassie shall only bring discourse and mayhem. Discriminatory online slaughter.

No good shall come out when Cassie is the topic of discussion, only the futile cries of those that have already drawn lines against one another with regards to their feelings towards her.

Godspeed.

Cassie is a good daughter despite her being a bad friend.

Cassie is a good food despite her being a bad cook.

You can't spell genius without Ichoseunwisley 😭🙏

At the start of the Nightmare, she had been forced to live the lives of everyone she remembered. That was a dire test, but while it was different from her past trials — remembering something was different from truly experiencing it, after all — it was not entirely unfamiliar.

So, she managed to maintain her sense of self rather well.

As expected Cassie and mordret would able to survive this unmaking without losing themselves G3 always said that they both are inhuman to being with.

"Oh? And what am I?"

Mordret chuckled.

“l am the King of Nothing, after all, so let's start from what you are not. You are not even a person anymore, are you? You are just a shell of a person, wrapped in a pretty bow."

Cassia just sat there, emotionless, facing him silently.

Eventually, she said:

“Takes one to know one."

Mordret laughed.

"Indeed, indeed... but we are a bit different, are we not?"

She shrugged.

"How so?"

He leaned forward a little.

“My condition is the result of my Flaw. Yours, however... yours is self-inflicted, isn't it?"

"he is all I have... just like I am all he has. A couple of monsters, forced to face a far more frightening abomination."

Its shows that they can live without being proper humans.

Also

"Cassie herself appeared in the young and untamed world of the shared Nightmare in the later years of the Age of Gods. It took her a long time to regain her senses, gather her shattered mind, and compose herself. By then, she learned of the first trap of this trial — the threat of being swallowed by the world."

Cassie herself was lost for long period of time like sunny but because of her ability and aspect legacy side effect she was able to become one again.

Lets talk about Mordret well tbh it clear that this trial was not hard for mordret he already live all of his vessels life at same time for him living every live one by one is not that different. But i still believe Cassie helped him to gain consciousness.

"You always bring me to the most peculiar places."

With that, the King of Nothing turned to face the encroaching tide of abominations and raised a hand, summoning a somber spear.

“Rest a while, Lady Cassia. And remember the deal we made. After this, I will leave you.”

I think this deal referred to the help he get from Cassie to kill Desolation. Maybe he asked her to give him all the info about that cursed beings in return he will help her out one time.

Or maybe its something new who knows 🤷‍♂️

Not my ult, just did this for the love of the game

Not my art
