Chapter 1434 World of Darkness
As Sunny stood frozen in the world of darkness, Nephis summoned a Memory lantern and raised it, illuminating the deck of the Chain Breaker. A small island of warm light appeared around them — however, it was not nearly as wide as it should have been, as if the lantern was struggling to push back the unfathomable shadow. Its light trembled pitifully.
"Sunny... what did you do?"
He lingered with the answer, then said honestly:
"I summoned a fragment of Shadow God's domain. You must have seen it in my runes... it's a Legacy Relic I received."
The Fragment had already swallowed all of Wind Flower. Sunny could feel it... which was strange. As an Ascended Tyrant, he could control his shadows from around twenty kilometers away. However, the range of his shadow sense was much more modest, less even than that of his vision. How was it that he could vaguely sense the far side of the island?
Sunny hesitated for a few moments, then carefully extended his shadow sense... however, he did not extend it outward. Instead, he extended it into the Fragment. In the next moment, Sunny yelped, staggered, and fell. "Ah, hell!"
Sunny rescued Jet, healed her with the help of the Mirror of Truth, and returned to the Chain Breaker. Then, he explained the nature of the loop to the members of the cohort. After that, however...
Sunny had to make new decisions. Now that he knew that leaving his companions on the Chain Breaker was tantamount to leaving them for dead, there was no other choice but to venture into the mist together... which was a moot point, really, considering that he had already decided to rely on teamwork more before his break. His goal of compiling a time map of Wind Flower had become much easier, as well, due to how far his shadow sense could reach in the boundary of the Fragment. Perhaps the best thing about the Fragment of Shadow's Domain was that it existed independently of Sunny. It was not manifested from his essence, and did not consume it to exist. On the flipside, it was also not under his control.
Although Sunny could benefit from being within a piece of Shadow God's Domain, he had not magically become akin to a Sovereign. There was an unexpected, but welcome side effect to his innate connection to the inconceivable shadow, though...
It was that the rudimentary affinity to water that the Crown of Twilight granted him could spread through the Fragment, as well. And since mist was made of water, Sunny found himself capable of influencing the fog.
He could make it thicker, or push it away from a certain area. It was hard to say how beneficial, exactly, such an ability would be. But Sunny felt that he would find a way to use it to his advantage. Other than that, the most obvious advantage of the Fragment was that Sunny could manifest it into tangible objects. Even though these objects were manifested with Ascended essence, their origin was still a Divine shadow. As such, they were much more powerful and robust than what he had been able to conjure up previously. Of course, using them burned a tremendously larger amount of essence in proportion. The last thing Sunny experimented with was dismissing the Fragment of the Shadow Realm. Sadly... it seemed impossible. Just as he had expected, once unleashed, the Fragment couldn't be taken back.
Or at least he had no authority to do so. The only exception was the Shadow Lantern. Sunny discovered that he could hide the Fragment inside the Divine Memory... but, strangely enough, he couldn't summon it back from it. Once the inconceivable shadow entered the gate of the black lantern, it was as though it disappeared forever. He was somewhat disheartened, but at the same elated. Armed with the Fragment and the Mirror of Truth and supported by the members of the cohort... suddenly, Sunny felt that creating a moving map of Wind Flower was not as impossible of a task anymore.
Without wasting any time, he got to work.
He was going to find a way to escape this endless hell, and take his companions with him.
