Sunny all of the sudden laughs, an epiphany washing over him as he floats alongside within the mist. He remembers a dialog with Effie within the Darkish Metropolis’s ruined cathedral, her perception that the Dream Realm isn’t hell, however a merciless paradise humanity deserves. The Sin of Solace is curious, “What’s it that you simply see, should you don’t thoughts me asking?”. Sunny understands now that Effie’s perspective stemmed from her damaged physique within the waking world versus her vibrant existence within the Dream Realm, and from her perception that humanity had already ruined the waking world’s ecosystem.
Sunny realizes that humanity’s future may lie solely inside the Dream Realm. Because the Nightmare Spell intensifies, numerous new Sleepers, Woke up, Masters, and even Saints will emerge, in a position to exist in conquered components of the Dream Realm. He considers the grim, but practical, reasoning of the Sovereigns, who’ve lengthy targeting making a haven within the Dream Realm, seeing the waking world as a misplaced trigger. It’s “the longer term the Sovereigns imagine in, a minimum of”.

However Sunny additionally recollects Nephis, who views the Sovereigns as traitors for abandoning resistance. He permits himself to dream of a special future, one the place a brand new Supreme conquers the Fifth Nightmare and turns into a Sacred and even Divine being, miraculously saving everybody. He is aware of this chance is close to unimaginable, a mere “little bit of wishful pondering,” however he indulges within the unrealistic dream nonetheless.
Chapter 1235 Wondrous Sight
Nonetheless haunted by nightmares of a “darkish, dreadful, devouring obsession,” Sunny seeks to summon Nightmare for cover, solely to search out himself plunged into chaos. The raft beneath him lurches violently, throwing him into the depths of the water. The acquainted, calming murmur of the mist transforms right into a deafening roar because the water round him glows with an unnatural mild.
Breaking the floor, Sunny finds himself blinded by daylight, the ever-present mist vanished with out a hint. “Wh…” he thinks as he coughs out water and stares round, “what’s going on?” The scene is now suffused with the sunshine of seven suns, suspended in a blue sky above an unlimited expanse of clear water reflecting their mild. The jap horizon is at daybreak, painted in shades of lilac, whereas the west is consumed by the crimson of a setting solar.
The panorama strikes Sunny as eerily acquainted. It reminds him of a Soul Sea, one that’s not like something he is aware of. He turns towards the present, letting it information him by way of this new, breathtaking realm, a spot the place the nightmare world and the sunshine of day coexist in a wierd, mesmerizing concord.
Chapter 1236 Nice River
Adrift underneath the sunshine of the seven suns, Sunny contemplates the ominous runes carved into his raft. Regardless of his intensive data of Dream Realm languages, he’s disturbed by the presence of human languages among the many carvings, even ones completely overseas to him. This discovery prompts Sunny to query the complete nature of this weird Nightmare, vastly completely different from what he anticipated. With no reversed time or acquainted desert, the huge expanse of water underneath the alien suns leaves him deeply perplexed.
Searching for perception, Sunny turns to the Sin of Solace. “What do you concentrate on all this?” he asks, solely to be met with the acquainted, unsettling response: “I’m part of you, so it is best to already bear in mind. No?” Annoyed, Sunny dismisses the apparition’s cryptic nature. Turning away, he tries to focus, ignoring the runes and turning to the seven suns. Regardless of the overwhelming weirdness, he tries to concentrate on the fundamentals: a river of freshwater.
Reasoning by way of the unimaginable scale of his environment, Sunny recollects a river described as “nice” – the Nice River, talked about in reference to the Stifled Scream. A dreadful secret hidden in its estuary appears linked to the Tomb of Ariel, hinted at within the description of the Shroud of Graceless Nightfall. The connection between the pyramid, the River and the Sybil’s fall leads Sunny to marvel if he’s, in actual fact, floating into the previous.
Chapter 1237 The Reply Is
Sunny is unnerved by the sudden look of a brand new Reminiscence amongst his soul arsenal, particularly since he has not defeated any Nightmare Creatures. Recollections are nonetheless essential, however lately, Sunny finds a lot of the rewards he receives from the Spell are both too weak for his stage of energy or inferior to one thing he already possesses. The Reminiscence’s mysterious origin and its identify, “Key of the Estuary,” sends a chill down his backbone, given his latest ideas in regards to the Tomb of Ariel and the Nice River. He wonders, “What did the identify of the Reminiscence imply? The place did it come from? And, extra importantly… when did it seem?”
He checks on Soul Serpent, discovering the runes nonetheless current, guaranteeing Rain’s security. Regardless of the aid, Sunny struggles with the absurdity of the state of affairs. What are the probabilities a random abomination gave him a Reminiscence linked to the Nice River? Returning his focus, he analyzes the Reminiscence additional, his coronary heart leaping as he discovers its rank: Supreme. The implications of a Supreme Reminiscence showing out of nowhere fills him with dread, understanding that nothing on this world, or quite, two worlds, comes with out a value.
Questions flood Sunny’s thoughts, questioning if Soul Serpent might even kill a Nice Nightmare Creature. He considers his personal probabilities towards such an abomination, recalling the Skinwalker vessels. “Doesn’t make any sense,” he thinks, earlier than his expression adjustments once more as he continues to learn.
Chapter 1238 So Weird
Sunny stares, dumbfounded, on the Key of the Estuary, a Reminiscence totally woven from shadow essence, not like his personal patchwork creations. “What… what’s the which means of this?” he wonders, a chilly sweat breaking out because the considered misplaced reminiscences, of Oblivion, surfaces. He instinctively reaches for a weapon, however the Nice River stays peaceable. He calms, deciding that even reminiscence loss wouldn’t clarify the Reminiscence’s existence, particularly contemplating that he isn’t able to making a spellweave of that magnitude and complexity.
He considers the potential of the soul shards originating from Nice Beasts as an alternative of Nice Terrors, maybe even six Sovereigns. The Sin of Solace seems, providing the suggestion with a mocking grin. Sunny flinches. “Ha. Ha… very humorous,” he retorts, face pale. He is aware of he couldn’t kill six Nice Beasts both, feeling his sanity fray. A Supreme Reminiscence of the Sixth Tier showing out of nowhere, seemingly woven from shadow essence, is just too weird.
After a second of psychological stillness, Sunny begins to motive. Even when the reasons are outlandish, he’ll settle for them. The shadow essence weave doesn’t essentially imply he created it; one other shadow creature may exist able to weaving. The unsettling thriller of the Key of the Estuary and its origins solely deepens.
Chapter 1239 Sea Monster
The Key of the Estuary’s thriller lingers, however Sunny’s quick concern shifts because the flotsam beneath him explodes into splinters, obliterated by an unseen pressure. A monstrous serpentine head erupts from the Nice River, its eyes burning with historic starvation, azure scales shimmering like fortified armor. The creature is immense, seemingly mad, and fixated on Sunny. He leaps, narrowly evading the snapping jaws, however the serpent rises, its maw opening like a “darkish abyss” because it lunges upward. “Curse it… why does such an enormous monster even wish to eat a tiny morsel like me?!” Sunny wonders, conscious that it craves his soul, not his flesh.
He twists, utilizing an enormous fang as a springboard to catapult himself greater. The fang, an indestructible “monolith manufactured from pristine crystal jade”, refuses to interrupt. Regardless of the searing ache, Sunny ascends, witnessing the total, terrifying extent of the leviathan’s size, estimating it to be “a minimum of a pair hundred meters”. Despair washes over him as he realizes he has nowhere to land, surrounded solely by water, with the approaching maw looming ever nearer.
Simply because the state of affairs appears hopeless, the Reminiscence manifests: not a weapon, however a protracted, black needle with golden wire, the Heavenly Burden. With out hesitation, Sunny drives the needle into his arm and instructions his shadows to wrap round it. “D-damnation… why do I really feel like a scorching air balloon?” he thinks as his ascent accelerates dramatically, leaving the livid serpent behind. He rises quicker than the creature can emerge from the water, escaping sure loss of life because the floor of the Nice River dwindles beneath.
Chapter 1240 Sunny Zeppelin
Suspended excessive above the Nice River, Sunny takes in a panoramic, but desolate, panorama. There’s nothing however water in each path. Then, a chilling voice echoes close by. “Having fun with the view?” The Sin of Solace, Sunny’s doppelganger, stands calmly on skinny air, wind tousling its lengthy black hair, and mocks his predicament. “It’s as a result of, not like you, I’m not weighed down by sin,” it taunts. Sunny is aggravated by his clone’s remarks and considers its suggestion to leap into the Nice Beast’s maw, however remembers they share a destiny.
Decided to outlive, Sunny summons the Darkish Wing, the shadows from the Heavenly Burden enveloping it as he glides ahead above the Nice River. To at least one aspect, daybreak paints the world in lilac, whereas the opposite aspect is crimson nightfall. The Sin of Solace strolls throughout the sky, arms clasped behind its again, an ever-present reminder of Sunny’s interior turmoil. He muses on the Nightmare Spell’s objective, reasoning that there should be land someplace, in any other case the trial could be unfair.
As Sunny continues his flight, the monstrous serpent follows beneath the floor, its huge shadow a relentless risk. Sunny’s expression darkens as he understands the relentless nature of the hazard and prepares for the potential of a protracted, perilous journey by way of the water world of the Spell. He steels himself for a 3rd try to survive the [Where is my eye?] enchantment if no different choice presents itself.
Chapter 1241 Darkish Island
Sunny soars by way of the sky above the Nice River, discovering a wierd peace amidst the infinite water and ever-present risk of the monstrous serpent. He misses the comparatively cozy depths of the Sky Beneath. The Sin of Solace isn’t any higher firm than Mordret. “What? Have you ever misplaced… I strongly protest towards this comparability!” the doppelganger scoffs, clearly offended. Sunny placates him with a half-hearted apology: “Yeah, yeah… you might be far more good-looking than that man. Sorry. I went too far.”
The eerie cycle of the seven suns continues as they rise from the east and set within the west, bathing the world in fixed daylight. Sunny battles the urge to assault the Nice Beast with Morgan’s Warbow, figuring out it’s a fruitless endeavor that may solely deplete his essence. Frustration mounts as he wonders the best way to measure the time inside this unusual realm, uncertain if his instincts are dependable. “I’m actually beginning to…”
However all of the sudden, Sunny’s focus sharpens. Within the distance, a small black dot seems on the water’s floor. Is it land? His coronary heart leaps with renewed hope, providing a promise of escape from the infinite expanse of the Nice River.
Chapter 1242 Cataclysmic Battle
The black dot within the distance isn’t land, however the shell of a monstrous turtle spanning over a kilometer, dwarfing the ocean serpent that relentlessly pursues Sunny. Regardless of the turtle’s colossal dimension, the serpent, undeterred, rises from the water, its cloudy eyes fastened on the Nice Monster. Sunny curses his destiny, buying and selling the hope of stable floor for an excellent larger abomination. “You possibly can nonetheless step on that turtle, ,” the Sin of Solace taunts, incomes a darkish glare from Sunny. The turtle, disturbed by the serpent’s presence, emits a threatening huff, its murky eyes igniting with silver mild.
Ignoring the apparent energy disparity, the azure serpent roars madly and lunges towards the turtle. Sunny, recalling the Carapace Centurions’ slaughter of Scavengers, expects the turtle to obliterate the serpent, doubtlessly saving him within the course of. As a substitute, the monstrous turtle meets the serpent head-on. Its beak opens, unleashing an indescribable sound that shakes the world, creating whirlpools able to swallowing vessels complete. “Argh…” is all Sunny manages as the 2 abominations conflict beneath him.
The serpent, surprisingly agile, avoids the turtle’s beak, making an attempt to sink its fangs into the gargantuan scales, however they merely slide off. Sunny watches in awe, realizing the forces unleashed might erase a whole siege capital. He briefly contemplates the devastation two such creatures would wreak on NQSC, earlier than shortly returning to the current, a maelstrom of monstrous fury swirling beneath him.
Chapter 1243 Looking out For Gentle
The white spark Sunny glimpsed has vanished, however its supply turns into chillingly clear as morning dawns. The Nice River beneath is stained crimson, a bloody flower blooming throughout kilometers of water. At its heart floats the black turtle, lifeless, its silver neck bands damaged. “The black turtle was useless,” the narrative intones, emphasizing the monstrosity of the scene. A gaping wound tunnels by way of its physique, a testomony to brutal pressure.
Beneath the floating corpse, the azure serpent rises, battered however alive, its cloudy eyes burning with fury because it stares at Sunny. Chunks of flesh are lacking from its lengthy neck, but it survived, vanquishing the colossal turtle. ‘The previous snake should be a queen… king?… of Beasts. It really took down a Monster…’ Sunny displays, each impressed and disturbed by the serpent’s energy. The state of affairs is dire, contemplating the serpent is now revealed to be an apex predator amongst its variety.
Sunny’s gaze returns to the turtle’s large shell. He suspects the supply of the white spark lies hidden someplace on its darkish floor. Unwilling to threat descent, he summons Morgan’s Warbow and sends a shadow-infused arrow to scout forward. It hits the shell, splintering uselessly, but the shadow, transported with the arrow, surveys the island-sized corpse with a resigned expression. His resentful gaze seems to break Sunny’s conscience.
Chapter 1244 Rattling Nice Steak
Sunny’s shadow waves again at Nephis, confirming her presence. He feels relieved, now not fearing he’s the one human left on this unusual epoch. Thanking the gods, he retrieves the Heavenly Burden and spirals right down to the turtle’s shell, cautious of the azure serpent nonetheless watching with hungry eyes. Fortunately, its gaze can not kill, not like some Nightmare Creatures. He dismisses the Darkish Wing, and jumps into the fissure the place he finds Nephis. After a second of observing one another, Sunny grins, remarking, “That smells scrumptious. The place did you get contemporary meat?”
The 2 sit reverse one another contained in the fissure, having fun with a meal of roasted meat seasoned with the final of the salt and spices from the Covetous Coffer. Even together with his enhanced enamel, Sunny struggles to chew the robust meat, requiring shadow augmentation. He’s grateful for the meal, figuring out the fireplace’s smoke led him to Nephis. He licks his fingers, savoring the style, then asks Nephis with a smile, “Hey… did we actually simply eat the meat of a Nice Monster?”
Nephis nods, ingesting from the Infinite Spring. “Yeah… I carved it myself. After the ocean serpent left.” Sunny shifts awkwardly, contemplating the implications of consuming a Nice Monster, carved and cooked by Nephis after a terrifying battle. His life has change into ridiculous.
Chapter 1245 Smashing Issues With A Hammer
Rising from the fissure, Sunny and Nephis are confronted by the sight of the Nice River, now a sea of blood surrounding the behemoth’s corpse. An ominous shadow stirs inside the crimson tide, and a colossal, hateful eye rises to repair them with a burning gaze. Sunny recoils, however Nephis stays stoic, acknowledging the Nice Beast’s power. “It’s a Nice Beast. In fact, it’s sturdy,” Sunny sighs. Abruptly, the Sin of Solace mocks Sunny’s concern, urging him to combat the creature.
Contained in the fissure, Sunny’s annoyance with the sword wraith intensifies when Nephis asks, “Sunny? Who’re you speaking to?”. He tries to clarify away the voice as an enchantment of Reminiscence, downplaying its affect with a feigned embarrassed, “Mainly, it’s a voice that doesn’t miss an opportunity to clarify how improper all the things I do is. Proper… one thing like that.” Nephis appears unconvinced, a touch of a smile taking part in on her lips as she recollects a weird fairy story a few mischievous doll.
The unusual story a few doll who kills his ethical information leaves Sunny perplexed. He displays on the rising power of Reminiscence’s affect since coming into the Nightmare, his discomfort evident. “As for the fairy story… I wouldn’t thoughts smashing that annoying cricket with a hammer and watching it die.” The Sin of Solace raises a mockingly eyebrow, whereas Neph frowns barely, clearly unsettled.
Chapter 1246 Analysis Companions
Nephis emerges from her private house, now adorned in a white tunic embroidered with purple patterns, a garment that prioritizes utility over pure protection. When Sunny questions her alternative, suggesting a go well with of armor, she responds pragmatically, “Regardless of how highly effective of an armor Reminiscence I take advantage of, it is going to nonetheless break after brushing towards an ideal abomination as soon as. So, I’d as effectively go for one thing mild and providing good utility.” The tunic enhances her senses, a extra beneficial asset of their present state of affairs.
Sunny, captivated by her look regardless of his preliminary shock, focuses on the Recollections arrayed earlier than them. These Recollections all characteristic hyperlinks to Ariel, his Tomb, the Nice River, or an estuary. These are: The Bitter Cusp, the Mirror of Reality, the Sin of Solace, the Stifled Scream, the Darkish Shaper, and the Falling Ash. He initiates a assessment of their accrued data.
Sunny items collectively the fragmented lore: Ariel, the Demon of Dread, constructed his Tomb inside the Nightmare Desert, but they entered a Seed seemingly born from that Tomb solely to search out themselves amidst the huge and unusual Nice River. He pauses, then continues, “That river appears to be the Nice River, which is claimed to exist outdoors of time and move endlessly from the longer term into the previous… no matter meaning.” The connection between the Tomb and the Nice River stays a thriller, a thread they need to untangle to navigate the hazards forward.
Chapter 1247 Concern Itself
Sunny delves deeper into the Recollections arrayed earlier than them. Nephis selected to retain the Darkish Shaper, a Transcendent Reminiscence from the Fourth Tier, regardless of its worth. “Being the chief of a gaggle of elite Woke up was not low-cost,” so most of her Antarctic Recollections have been bought, but this stone mallet was particular. The Darkish Shaper, a instrument quite than a standard weapon, possesses a darkish polished wooden deal with and a hammerhead of eerily acquainted black stone – the identical stone from which Ariel’s Tomb was constructed.
The mallet’s enchantments are disturbingly potent, able to shaping not solely inanimate matter but additionally flesh and bone into nightmarish kinds, paying homage to the Corrupted Satan Nephis defeated to acquire it. Sunny research the Reminiscence’s description, shimmering with runes that reveal its historical past. The runes learn partly, “When the unholy titan took a step, everybody cowered in concern. Solely Ariel, the Demon of Dread, remained standing – he didn’t really feel concern, for he was concern itself.”
The inscription recounts Ariel’s battle towards the invincible titan, detailing how he found a flaw – a tiny un-tempered spot on its coronary heart. By whispering a secret and plunging the titan into the ocean, Ariel exploited this weak spot, inflicting its physique to crumble. From the titan’s blood, Ariel created a mystical river, and from its stone flesh, he constructed a pyramid. The inscription all of the sudden breaks off.
Chapter 1248 Entombed
Shaken by the inscription, Sunny and Nephis emerge from the fissure underneath seven suns. Sunny, voice laced with marvel, begins unraveling a perplexing principle: “I do know that it doesn’t make sense… but it surely additionally makes a lot sense, ?” He proposes the Nice River is contained in the black pyramid, a feat solely a daemon like Ariel might obtain, twisting mundane logic itself. He argues that Ariel created the black pyramid from the flesh of an Unholy Titan and the Nice River from its blood.
Nephis, battling the unsettling gaze of the azure serpent, builds upon Sunny’s conjecture, suggesting the world they inhabit, paying homage to a Soul Sea, is perhaps fashioned from the titan’s soul itself, the seven suns being shards of the Titan’s divine soul. “If the people of the Forgotten Shore might create a man-made solar, there’s actually no motive why Ariel couldn’t create seven higher ones.” They each motive this might clarify the starless, black sky – the interior wall of the hole pyramid.
Nephis then questions why Ariel would go to such elaborate lengths to cover a secret, making a world faraway from the move of time. Sunny speculates Ariel had no different alternative, that the reality, hidden within the Nice River’s estuary, exists earlier than time itself, outdoors even the gods’ management. “The one finish such a river can have is the purpose… when time didn’t exist but.” The estuary, in essence, is the primordial void the place the previous disappears, a spot the place even gods haven’t any affect. Nephis sighs, wrestling with the paradox, realizing Ariel’s secret is buried so deep as to be inaccessible even to divinity.
