Shadow Slave novel Chapter 3096

No matter how curious Sunny was about what would happen if he and Nephis woke up one day and decided to battle to the death, he had to admit that he was badly matched against her dark copy here in the Underworld.

If he was wielding all his powers... he honestly did not know what the outcome would be. Sunny was an immensely powerful being himself, but his true strength lay elsewhere. His Shadows were immensely powerful, and he commanded a deathless legion of shades. He was also a master of sorcery. Of course, if his Domain were to be included, then Neph's had to be included as well.

Which meant that the question wasn't really who would win in a fight, him or Nephis. The question was who would win in a war — Sunny and his legion or Nephis and all of humanity.

Sure, his Shadows were powerful... but so were the people who pledged their loyalty to Nephis. Kai, Effie, Cassie, Morgan, Seishan, and the rest of them — hundreds of Saints, all the Legacy Clans, countless Masters, billions of mundane humans. Was his Shadow Legion stronger than all of humanity?

Sunny wasn't sure.

Of course, he was tempted to believe that he would win. There were simply too many tools in his toolbox. While Nephis was a force to be reckoned with, given enough time, Sunny could probably weave something to defeat her. But then again, there were countless sorcerers serving her, as well, and human ingenuity was endless. So who was to say that she would not create something to deal with him, too?

At the end of the day... Sunny was still most likely poised to win, simply because of how insidious his Domain was. The longer a war continued, the stronger the Shadow Legion became. So, unless Nephis learned how to fully destroy shades, humanity would fall to the tide of shadows sooner or later.

Ah, but then...

After their trip to the Tomb of Ariel, Nephis possessed the Knowledge of Corruption. So wasn't she capable of turning Sunny into a Nightmare Creature by simply whispering a few secrets into his ear?

Luckily, Sunny did not need to find out, because they were one and the same now. A war between them was no different from the right hand trying to kill the left hand. And since he was limited in what he could unleash here in the Underworld, the best decision he could make was to augment Nephis and lend her his strength in the battle against the Creature of Darkness.

It was like two hands holding the hilt of a sword — no different from the first lesson in swordsmanship Nephis had given him. One hand pushed, the other pulled. That was how the blade could move with deadly speed, slaying the enemy before they could react.

So, now, Nephis was empowered by his embrace, facing the dark copy of herself... who was augmented by the remaining incarnation of his copy.

What was it that Nephis had said? That the Creature of Darkness was playing with them?
