Last time, it was Mordret who came uninvited. Now, it's the population of Antarctica.
The great clans will probably prevent any great beasts from leaving Antarctica by pooling resources. The sovereigns can't abandon earth yet. They're too weak to permanently establish themselves in the dream realm.
Wrong, the effects of rank and tier are inverted for corruption and ascension. The path of ascension grants new abilities for each rank, and tier is mostly a linear stat boost accessible only to divine aspect wielders. Corruption grants intelligence, new abilities, and mass for each tier, while rank is an exponential stat boost. The path of corruption seems to grant more individual strength, while ascension retains the sanity of the awakened.
except Antarctica has been nothing but continued defeat even as he grew stronger. the responsive protection he provides against nightmare creatures has limits, like real-world police. a grander goal like removing all the corruption that produces nightmare creatures would have more tangible effects
I think solo. Sunny getting broken until he loses himself after so many consecutive defeats would be interesting. I like it when he is forced to stop and reevaluate his reason for fighting. He always lacked a long-term goal like Neph or Mordret. I wonder if he'll continue that way or develop an objective to pursue. Such as changing fate or removing all corruption(nightmare beasts).
Saints are prodigies with talent culminated by decades of experience. Not even Jet or Morgan could guarantee becoming one, so they're all far stronger than simply a transcendent human. Madoc might also be in his own weight class among saints, but that could be because of his invisible form.
When did it ever mention the mantle? I figured Sunny was relying on his own endurance for physical attacks and the shroud to resist mental ones. It also keeps his mental exhaustion to a minimum, which is significant in a battlefield.
Burn out, probably. Descriptions are important in novels because a fight scene can feel disorganized and confusing. Choreography is hard to understand in a group battle without precise descriptions. G3 mostly avoids this by having characters 1v1 in the background and only giving minor updates as Sunny makes decisions under pressure.

It's a difference between accumulative power and individual strength. Neph and Sunny can fight without memories or echoes, but Mordret's power lets him gather strong wild cards that are hard to counter. It's also incredibly difficult to kill him without the right tools or scenario. Sunny has an advantage in versatility since his powers can scout, enhance him, create items on the fly, create better echoes, enhance his movement, shape the terrain, and boosts his awareness by sensing shadows.
She has visions all the time. We got one chap from her pov that confirmed she knows how everyone dies, but she keeps silent because of the possible consequences. This was a result of her downward relationship with Sunny after the forgotten shore.
This chapter did a really good job of reminding me of Nephis as a character. We haven't seen her since the forgotten shore, but this chapter raised a lot of old red flags. The way she clearly didn't consider Mordret important, how confident she is victory, and the way she didn't even think about the consequences of the battle on civilians. I remember that she said she knew the most about failure in a previous chap. But she hasn't shown this with her actions. She still doesn't value others as more than tools. She still will do anything for her selfish goal. The most out of character thing she has done was force Sunny through the gateway. She is still a star of ruin and change. Despite this, she was still responsible for evacuating the forgotten shore, and many of her extremely selfish actions had positive repercussions. She is as much a star of change as she is of ruins. She is a reckless, selfish leader whose conviction changes the world to fit her ideals. Sunny is her shadow, who is resolved to grant solace to whomever is left in her wake as he struggles with his own ideals, freedom, and purpose.
Except we've already been told this more and more frequently since the current arc began. Nothing new has been said in this chapter.
The author did mention that, though. If imp low quality products, it inhibits the effects gained from high-quality products. Also, bones may be hard, but they're brittle like glass. Metal is great because it's malleable. It dents instead of cracking. Bones would take away this maleability. Finally, it's a jack of all trades master of none type of situation. No creature can thrive with every affinity, and taking too many would hinder them individually. He probably can't absorb affinities conflicting with his current ones.
