Shadow Slave novel Chapter 2372

Chapter 2372 Distant Gods

Sunny was startled awake - or rather, he regained his senses after receiving the truth. Just like the previous times, the boon he received was not quite a vision, but also not quite a memory. Rather, it was as if the knowledge of what had happened was placed directly into his mind, vague and disjointed, but somehow easy to understand.

The world of Ariel's Game was the same. The Shrine towered behind him, while the lake of lava was radiating insufferable heat in front of him. The sky was obscured by smoke and ash.

However, Sunny was different from how he had been before throwing the jade figure into the lake. There was a stunned, disbelieving expression on his face, and his heart was beating wildly.

His eyes were open, but he did not seem entirely aware of his surroundings just yet, overwhelmed by what he had learned.

"No way…"

Sunny jumped to his feet.

He was too rattled, his mind too full of chaotic thoughts, to calm down easily. He remained motionless for a while, then commenced pacing, kicking pieces of rubble with his feet.

"No, really. No way!"

Finally, Sunny stopped and looked at the distant mountains with wide eyes.

"What the hell did I just witness?"

The magnitude of the revelation he had received as a reward for killing the Wolf was too vast to fathom. Gods, daemons, the fate of the world, Weaver…

And the Nine.

The mysterious group of people whose faint traces he discovered from time to time. Sunny always suspected that the Nine had been important - to the degree that his glorious appraisal in the First Nightmare could have very well been mostly due to the fact that he had managed to kill Hero… Auro of the Nine.

The young boy with vibrant red hair who had appeared in two of the truths Sunny had learned in Ariel's Game.

But to think that the Nine had been responsible for the death of the gods.

…Had been determined to kill the gods, at least.

There was no telling if they had succeeded.

But, somehow, Sunny was inclined to believe that they had.

When he tossed these two jade figures into the lava, the question he had asked was about the end of the world. Instead of a scene of total devastation on a battlefield between the gods and the daemons, though, he had been shown a seemingly mundane event of mortal men arriving on a gorgeous island to inform a huntress who lived there that a Supreme Beast was rampaging on the border of their kingdom.

Sunny had assumed that he had been shown a moment of Slayer's past then and he had.

But what if that moment was also the answer to his question?

What if that… was the moment the world's fate had been sealed?

Sunny grabbed his head and tried to calm himself.
