I am very impressed with this twist. I wonder if Guilty had it planned all along, or if it just fit. If he planned it all along, the preperation by itself is just absolutely insane. If he didn't, finding a way to make it work and answer prior arguably bad decisions by the cohort is crazy by itself. Good job, man.
To play devil advocate, I can see how at least Mordret(butterfly) effects all of the flow so far. Without Mordret in the picture, thereās no urgent need for Nephis and Fire keepers to join Valor over Song. The power gap gave Valor urgency to recruit them to their side and send them to Antartica. Without Mordret, thereās no battle of the Black Skull. Without the battle of the Black Skull, thereās no 3 category 4 gates opening in that exact location forcing them to have no choice but to tackle the 3rd nightmare. Letās say those 3 gates were going to open then and there regardless of interference; Sunny and co wouldnāt have any reason to attempt the 3rd nightmare at least in the meantime if they were not all present. The Sovereign blockade of Trancendence wouldnāt have been lifted until the conclusion of the Antartica campaign and their conquest to establish a citadel in the nightmare desert. After this Nightmare, they all going to stand close to the pinacle of the waking world at the bare minimum. I believe their impact as Saint in the very near future is going to cascade to something much greater than if theyāre Masters and can barely fend for themselves in the chaotic time to come. I think thatās what Cassie meant as giving Sunny the weapon to break fate. She basically fast forwarded their fate. At least in the case of Mordret, Sunny, and Nephis Sainthood if we assume Obel was right about the ripple in times.
ok seems kinda pointless to think about when her planning started because atm it doesn't matter... what matters is what her goal actually is, just saying she wants to break fate could mean anything. My best guess is relies on the fact that both sunny and neph are the only ones without a second version of themselves at the cycle start. somehow that enables that to become fuse with their past selves where sunny isn't bound to neph anymore. Idk its quite a stretch but this whole plot would be pointless without an outcome like that.
Honestly, there is something that does not sit well with me about Cassie's visions. In theory, shouldn't the visions simply guide her towards a future predetermined by fate? It doesn't seem like Cassi can see countless different futures and choose which one to follow, does it? Or is it a Doctor Who kind of thing, where there are fixed points in time that can't be changed and the rest can? It's always a mess with visions of the future and time travel, which is why I've never been convinced. It's easy to create plot holes.
Iām still in shock at how deep this goes. But still, Iām wondering if this is a good thing or not? Iām not sure how sunny will react to be honest. Also Iām not sure if this means she is evil or if she is on Sunnyās side or not. Like, Sunny also is not a big fan of fate. But does that means they are on the same team? Bro Iām nervous. I like Cassie. I donāt want her to die. I miss the days when sunny led Cassie through the forgotten shore by the rope and they ate together and told stories. This is too much for me
Quick thought that my wife had. Is Cassie in Heart God's domain? Mordret told Sunny not to say Asteron's name, or else he might hear Sunny. Who hears and sees everything like an oracle who can use other people's senses? We know Asteron kept Nephis alive from the other Sovereigns and that he is collecting Divine aspect holders. Isn't it just fortunate that Cassie happened to end up by not just one, but TWO people with Divine aspects? It also makes sense as to why she wanted Mordret free. Also she seems waaaaayy too good at pulling on heart strings. At this point, I would have to be convinced that she's not.
