Chapter 979 - A Perplexing Creature
🕑 Added 2024-08-20 11:08:42 +0000 UTCAll was quiet as the Fallen King and Sylphie watched the lone figure approach in the distance at a slow but steady speed. With it, all colors faded, and the land died, never to have anything grow on it again. As the entity grew closer, the Fallen King finally saw the creature properly as it went over a small hill.
It was only a little taller than the average human and was utterly emaciated, looking almost like a skeleton with skin attached in several places. It was impossible to know if it was male, female, or anything in between, nor if it had ever even been a true living being in the first place. Looking at it did make the Fallen King think of the undead, except there was no death energy anywhere to be seen… and even the undead would die when exposed to desolation.
“Ree?” Sylphie asked, now incredibly serious. The aura that blanketed the horizon was unsettling and powerful, yet also somehow hollow. It felt like it shouldn’t be able to exist, and yet it did. She felt it as well as he did,
“That remains yet undecided,” the Fallen King said, unable to determine how this encounter would play out. Perhaps it was because of the nature of the creature, but he didn’t feel any hostility from the creature. On the other hand, he fully expected it to be an enemy.
By now, it was pretty damn clear this was some kind of setup. As for who was behind it, the Fallen King had no way of knowing, though he had his suspects, and all he knew was that the situation was incredibly perilous. When he used Identify on the creature, it only made things worse.
[Desolate Child of Loss – lvl 306]
Its level was higher than expected and put pressure on the Fallen King, especially because he couldn’t get a full reading on just how powerful this foe was. Sylphie had also identified the approaching creature and was ready to act at a moment’s notice, showing the same level of uncertainty.
The creature known as the Desolate Child of Loss had also spotted them floating in front of the Prima Vessel. It continued to walk forward, its aura spreading with every footfall as the already torn-up plains surrounding the Vessel were drained of all light and life.
Many theories had been made about what kind of creature they were dealing with, and the Fallen King had even suspected it could be a Unique Lifeform. It was confirmed it wasn’t now, as the King would have felt it if it was, which made the second possibility far more probable: it was a living calamity. A creature without any intelligence but only an instinct to carry out its innate wall, this one seemingly striving to turn the entire world desolate.
As the creature got closer, the Fallen King was ready to strike as words would only be a waste of time… as he was proven entirely wrong, and the Desolate Child of Loss not only stopped approaching but proved itself capable of communication.
“You strong. Both of you… but no Guardian?” a voice echoed in a whispering voice as the creature opened its mouth and spoke, its very words sending out waves of desolation. It was two short sentences if you could even call them that, but enough proof it wasn’t some dumb monster. This complicated things and made the King suspect that this was perhaps not this creature being manipulated and used as a weapon. Instead, it was the perpetrator or at least willingly working with them.
“You speak as if you did not know we would be here. That you were not called here specifically to deal with us,” the Fallen King infused his telepathic message with energy, partly to reach the Desolate Child of Loss in the distance and partly to exude power.
“I called, they answered, now I’m here,” the creature simply said, proving that even if it could speak, it wasn’t in a highly complex fashion. “I only see you now.”
The theory that this Desolate Child of Loss had been the schemer behind this all and wasn’t just being used became less and less probable. Which only led to more problems, but also possibilities. Because if it wasn’t here explicitly to fight them…
“If we only see each other now, then you are being used. Exploited. We do not wish to be your enemy,” the Fallen King said. Even if they had to one day fight this creature, now wasn’t a good time.
“Enemy? No… why enemy?” the Desolate Child of Loss asked, seemingly confused. “I… am not enemy.”
A somewhat comforting answer if the Fallen King said so himself, and he kept trying to press on as this creature seemed rather willing to communicate. “I cannot confirm it, but the one who used you is likely someone named Ell’Hakan. He may have called himself other things, like the Celestial Child or Chosen of Yip of Yore, and he is your true enemy if he is indeed behind this.”
The Desolate Child of Loss tilted its head at the King’s words and responded. “No. How could? I am… I.”
It was an answer that made no sense, making the Fallen King try again. “Have you met him? Ell’Hakan?”
“No… yes… always… never…” the creature kept speaking in tongues. “I meet you now. But not same.”
Things weren’t really progressing, and as the Fallen King saw the desolation continue to spread all around the Desolate Child of Loss, he believed it was time to wrap this up. For a very brief second, the King even considered asking this creature to help them teleport home, as it clearly had a way to access and use the Vessels, but decided against that as he didn’t want to risk more than he had to. Seeing as this planet had a single small moon… yeah, hiding out there for now was better.
Communicating his thoughts to Sylphie, the bird was surprisingly receptive to the idea, and the Fallen King prepared for them to make their exit.
“We do not wish to disturb your Path. Continue on, and we shall take our leave, not getting in your way,” the Unique Lifeform said, trying to be as polite as possible to not get into a fight.
“But… why? I… am no enemy,” the Desolate Child of Loss asked, sounding… hurt? Was it sad they were leaving?
“We are not your enemies, no, and you are not ours either, so let us part now on good terms and meet again in the future,” the Fallen King said, trying to find a way to sound sympathetic while also still insisting on leaving.
“Stay… better,” the creature said as it, for the first time since it stopped, took a step forward. “I help you.”
Sylphie instantly warned the King, and the Unique Lifeform knew but still tried to avoid a fight. “We are not enemies. We do not need to battle. Let us leave.”
“No battle… only help,” the Desolate Child of Loss said, looking up at them with its blank, entirely white pupils. “I return you home. Save you.”
The Fallen King had a solid feeling their definitions of home had minimal overlap and began to back up, speaking no matter how inevitable this situation felt. “We return home ourselves. We need no help.”
For a second, the Desolate Child of Loss seemed perplexed as it stopped, stared, and tilted its head. “I help. You be saved, go home, no choice. Better.”
Raising its foot, the creature took another step forward, and with it, a wave of desolation was pushed forward like a poisonous cloud seeking to eradicate everything. The Fallen King and Sylphie reacted in tandem as they retreated and exploded with power to create a buffer between themselves and the spreading desolation.
They hadn’t planned on fighting this Desolate Child of Loss… but that didn’t mean they weren’t willing to fight if it came down to it. Even if they were out-leveled and dealt with a powerful unknown enemy, they were still pinnacle creatures of the multiverse. No one had ever said this was a fight they couldn’t win, just that there was little to be gained from having it now while knowing nothing of what they were dealing with.
The Desolate Child of Loss kept simply walking forward, not in the mood to speak anymore as it gradually sped up. The Fallen King was confused as to how until he noticed… the very concept of space was breaking down in front of the creature. It wasn’t getting faster; what stopped it from going fast was simply disappearing.
Sylphie had already made good distance, being the faster of the two by far. Desolation washed over the Fallen King as he was floating in the air, his barrier slowly being eroded by the energies. The Desolate Child of Loss looked toward the Fallen King and stepped down one more time, disappearing entirely.
It appeared right in front of the Fallen King and merely swept its hand upwards, a torrent of desolation blasting into the Fallen King and making his barrier fade away for a moment before it was quickly re-established.
Counterattacking, the Unique Lifeform raised his ivory clawed hand and released a blast of force into the Desolate Child of Loss, the creature stumbling back as the Fallen King noted that the vast majority of his attack was turned desolate before it even had a chance to hit his opponent.
A blast of wind also descended from above, with most of it once more disappearing before it struck the creature of desolation and sent it flying down toward the ground. It stopped before fully landing and stared up at them, looking genuinely confused.
“This… okay. Just rest. Go home. Ascend.”
The Fallen King wanted to answer but didn’t get the chance as the creature shot upwards straight at him, more energy than before revolving around it. The only colors that could be seen were the faint golden energy embedded in the King’s barrier, but when it met the charging Desolate Child of Loss, it faded entirely, and the Fallen King could only try to blast his opponent away again.
A shockwave of force blasted out of the Fallen King but was entirely canceled out by the energy of desolation as the creature put a hand on the Unique Lifeform.
Instantly, the Fallen King knew the danger.
His body exploded as his boosting skill fully activated, the monochrome temporarily pushed away by a golden wave as he unleashed his power. Raising both hands, a golden beam was released, striking the Desolate Child of Loss head-on and blasting it into the distance as the King lowered his hands and assessed the damage.
A section of his chest had turned entirely gray and desolate from just a moment’s touch, and while the energy that invaded the Unique Lifeform’s body was now gone, the concept still lingered. If the Desolate Child of Loss had somehow gotten hold of the Fallen King for longer… that wouldn’t have been good.
In the distance, the creature rose from the small crater it had been pushed into, with only a few scratches on its body. Right as it rose, a green figure struck down from above, the green line of color striking the Desolate Child of Loss head-on. From the top of its head to its crotch, a cut was formed, making the creature stumble backward as its flesh opened up and its mouth opened, the jaw in two parts straight down the middle.
Yet, despite this tremendous damage, it was Sylphie who screeched out in pain. The newly opened wounds on the creature of desolation spewed out gray energy like a torrent, and Sylphie, who had struck with her wing, hit the ground hard, forming a crater as her entire right wing had turned gray and dead. Forced to act fast, Sylphie cut off her own wing before quickly flying away, not ever daring to enter her wind form while anywhere close to the Desolate Child of Loss.
“Do not touch the creature directly, ever,” the Fallen King warned the hawk as he prepared another blast to allow Sylphie her escape. She managed to get away without the Desolate Child of Loss doing anything to give chase as it just stood there, oozing out desolation from its wounds.
The blast released by the King struck the creature but barely affected it as the waves of desolation nullified the energy. Still, it stumbled back, and raising its hands, the Desolate Child of Loss forced the split flesh closed again as its thin flesh remerged once more.
“You fight. Should not.”
Raising a hand toward the sky, the Desolate Child shot a gray beam of light upwards that exploded after reaching the clouds, making said clouds disappear as a giant dome of pure desolation descended upon the King and Sylphie.
Throughout the fight, the field of monochrome had only been spreading and getting more intense, with that process now further sped up. The very presence of the creature resulted in a powerful domain that meant the longer this dragged out, the worse the situation would get.
They did have one big advantage, though.
“Hold nothing back and attack with full power; I shall do the same. Test the limits of its durability and finish this before the creature grows too strong or learns how to dodge and fight properly,” the King quickly sent to Sylphie, getting a quick mental confirmation as the bird got ready to attack again.
In the limited time they had battled this creature, one thing had become very clear: it had no idea how to fight. It didn’t even seem to have any kind of survival instinct or danger sense at all based on how it failed to react when it was struck. One could believe this was because their attacks did no damage, but the Fallen King clearly saw that what they did had an effect. Especially that powerful strike landed by Sylphie. Did it do a lot of damage? No, but it did take some, and most creatures would at least try to avoid or minimize that damage. Not the Desolate Child of Loss, though, and that was something they should exploit.
Because while it had no idea how to fight, the Fallen King and Sylphie had spent decades together in Nevermore.
Holding out an arm to each side, the Fallen King condensed two large golden hammers on chains as Sylphie flanked the Desolate Child of Loss, having activated what she called her Green Shield, which seemed to hold up remarkably well against the desolation.
Going on the offensive, the King flew toward the creature, who responded in kind. It raised a hand and released a torrent of desolation that the Fallen King quickly dodged by telekinetically moving himself out of the way before swinging the hammer into the side of his opponent.
At the same time, a condensed bullet of wind struck the Desolate Child of Loss in its side, poking a small hole and giving the King yet another opening as his second hammer smashed the creature on the side of the head, making it spin through the air.
Attacking again, the King landed two more hits before the hammers became too fragile, and he had to reform them. Sylphie also didn’t let up, most of her attacks striking from behind, tearing up the creature’s body with blow after blow.
Yet with every attack they landed, the desolation in their surroundings only intensified, and eventually, the Fallen King and Sylphie were forced to retreat away from the Desolate Child of Loss as the strain got too bad. It was as if the creature was a bag of poison gas with a bit of it released every time they struck it, but luckily, this domain didn’t seem to follow the creature as it quickly gave chase.
“This battle will not be short… let us hit and run while attempting to stay out of the epicenter of its domain as much as possible,” the King said. Sylphie agreed though the Unique Lifeform felt her uncertainty. Understandably so… because despite all they had done to the creature, it looked barely affected by anything but just kept coming at them, seemingly with no sense of self-preservation at all.

Thanks for the chapter.

I know. The text used to say: > It was only a little taller than the average human and was utterly emancipated, looking almost like a skeleton with skin attached in several places. (Copy-pasted just now from my email)
Exodus Uno
No emaciated is a word. It's when bodies are super thin and weak from either starvation or decay post death. Like a skeleton with loose skin on it
Kconraw
Thx for the chapter
Gustavo Claude
This child has some connection with the boy Jake trained in Nevermore? This I has the same sadboy vibes that him.
Olof Karlsson
Thanks for the chapter!

Daniel is ŁØNE
Gaze can be used that way but at it's most potent it is a measure of soul against soul and he who is found wanting is punished for their inferiority. For those of weak soul, death is a guarantee and for those who are within the scope of jakes grade and maybe one above the quality of his soul still wins. It would take a high B-grade or higher for Jake's Gaze to have no effect at this point, since he could take on the prima which likely has a soul as strong as a low to average B-grade.
Inv7ctus
Immune? No not at all. Highly resistant? Yes.
Inv7ctus
My gut says church politics. That blowing themselves up shtick is peak holy church. Could still be an unknown third party tho.
Titaniumtac
but only an instinct to carry out its innate wall-------> will
Michael Dugan
plus the whole turning them into chocolate first.
Jennifer Leigh
@King They don't need to see him as am enemy. I could have been set up to make the HC look like saviors of the galaxy, irregardless of who else is there. Remember, the Holy Mother doesn't necessarily care about cleansing the unclean. War is good for faith and getting stronger followers.
Jennifer Leigh
I was born after a planet of orcs(?) sacrificed themselves when the Prima vessel landed. Jake found the skeletons and remnants of the ritual.
Mike
i feel one hell of a cliff coming this weekend
Joe Holman
Lol someone needs to be emancipated from an innate wall. I would imagine that'd pretty tough considering the nature of the wall.
Reno
It made me chuckle that the first thing the Fallen King noted was I's status as a free citizen of the multiverse, no longer subject to his rule. 😂 ("emancipated" instead of "emaciated")
VenL.C.
Agreed…Doesn’t seem like an ElCheeto move. And after meeting “I”, it’s clear he’s no mastermind.
Tyler Owens
Like others I wanted to originally blame EH for this meeting, but it still seems likely that this could be a 3rd party, someone or some god deep ties to desolation (the end of everything) could be pissed at Jake for doing Primeval Organs things (reviving dead or ended paths)
William WIlson
I can see Jacob tracking I and Ell’Hakan using that against Jake with Jacob not knowing
Hayden Leech
But is it damaging their paths? Hakan made that deal with the higher ups. People not even in the 93rd universe. They would have ZERO problem having a few planets worth of recently converted people ship off to the holy land a bit early in exchange for a powerful weapon and eventually a bloodline. ESPECIALLY THAT BLOODLINE!!! The sheer synergy with their factions whole MO is scary as hell. These people don’t fear death. They don’t even see it as a bad thing! How would it wreck their paths? It’s been said repeatedly that earth and even the entire galaxy is meaningless and basically without value! Many different factions have said so. A bloodline like El’Hakans is worth more to the church than our galaxy and every soul in it. (Unless you mean the people getting sacrificed wouldn’t like their paths being damaged… but they are brainwashed and don’t care)
William WIlson
I'm pretty sure I was birthed a few chapters back
William WIlson
Don't get me wrong I is no longer a fungus but the embodiment of desolation. Kinda like sandy. Sandy is not a space worm yet calls space sand. Home to the fungus was itself so making everyone desolate is taking the home.
Titaniumtac
wall. --- will
William WIlson
What do you have against the holy church. Yes they want Ell’Hakans Bloodline but not bad enough to damage thier own paths.
William WIlson
Good point Sylphian probably does have a soul shape but it's probably more of an elemental soul shape than a hawk.
William WIlson
Your talking about villy and the dragonkin so a god vs c grade. If not Jake would be dead.
William WIlson
Desolation doesn't effect Jake's scales. The scales rely on the concept. We learned this before Jake fucked himself up.
William WIlson
No I will have the same issue as Temlat did. Temlat lacked proper records to evolve past a c grade and so will I.
William WIlson
Um Jake is immune to desolation because of scales actively using the concept of desolation. As far as Jake sending the thing to Ell’Hakans world I doubt it would cheapen the fight. That being said I can see Jake becoming friends and using that politically.
Hayden Leech
Oh yeah Sylphie has a funky fluid(gaseous?) soulshape. Forgot about thet
Matthew Lemon
I remember watching a YT short about a teenager in the X-men comics which awakens his powers randomly one day. His power kills anyone within a specific radius around him by setting them on fire. Just like the teen, could this be an unlucky power that's been unlocked? Or in this case could it be a shitty bloodline that kills everything?
Preston Stokes
O snap. Jake is gonna be real mad!
JohnSnowden
Buu essentially has the mentality of a child but more or less has apocalypse level power. Very naive and just kills people
Colton Horton
Haha, that's fair.
Matthew Lemon
I haven't watched Dragon Ball so I'm not entirely sure what that means, could you try explain what you means?
Ty Cooper
I feel like EH has been sending I to planets that opposed him like the elites.
Ty Cooper
Am I remembering wrong or does Sylphie have a soul shape? I thought in the past they mention how she just has two forms windy and nor windy.
King Nereus
Jake is definitely going. Doubt they will get much accomplished other than escaping. Jake making another unexpected friend is all well and good, but desolation can’t really coexist so I doubt that happens.
Ty Cooper
He ride in with Sandy. Sandy gobbles the King and Sylphie while Jake beats the crappola out of I for messing with Sylphie.
John Grizzly
I can imagine he sealed off but still working palate will help deal with some of the desolation , and since it's locked it'll be a permanent passive until way later, allowing him some way of dealing with the child, while allowing him a sense of rectification for what happened with his other pupil whome he vaguely feel like he failed
King Nereus
@Hayden Why does the holy church see Jake as an enemy?
Ty Cooper
Yeah not his style. Jake might just blow up EH's home world or mass sacrifice the planet to himself or duskleaf to mess with the god.
Ivo Wißen
I think she can reforme it She is this element hawk thing an can shift to full Elemental Maybe she lose a bit max HP but is fully reformt
Ivo Wißen
Yea but it will evolv before the event ends i think, an jake can kill a B grade
John Durrett
Jake's style is to kill El'Cunt himself and certainly not setting off I to kill an entire planet to get to El.
John Durrett
Then I hope Sylphies next evolution includes Phoenix Fires.
John Durrett
We're all going to feel the reach of Desolation if the Fallen King and Sylphie are not safely back on earth and Jake has not Ascended the Child of Desolation - using its down term before Zoggy's break.
John Durrett
Jakes Malific Scales received a nice upgrade from Villy. So its possible he can stand before the Child of Desolation taking on minor damage at best.
John Durrett
Buffet of wind - all you can eat!
John Durrett
I thought Jake's Gaze just stopped the heart, like dying of fear when faced with a predator you cannot hope to overcome.
John Durrett
Emaciated is the look of utter starvation before death. Emancipated (freedom) on one definition is used to say when I child is no longer under its parents responsibility and is considered a full citizen of the country. Totally different meanings.
Brendan Bowen
Thanks for the Chapter
Grine
Yeah I don't think Jacob would do it voluntarily and I don't see him being dumb enough to be manipulated by Orange Fuck when he clearly had the upper hand during their last meeting.
Colton Horton
Does anyone else get the feeling that Jake is gonna show up, realize it's a child that just wants a friend but cant help that it kills everything it gets close to, and go "No, bad "I"! It's not ok to force people to go home and ascend. Manners are important, you have to control yourself!" And then he befriends "I" while sending him to El'cunts home world? Just seems like some kinda nonsense jake would pull out of his ass. Like maybe he uses his stability mana to resist the desolation to give the child a hug and then all is good.
Noah Jackson
Tbh I originally thought I might be this unbeatable character for Jake and something else would intervene but this is seeming like a much more beatable character now.
Noah Jackson
Not really, this is desolation magic which may make it permanent, but this is also C-grade level compared to The Malefic Vipers God tier desolation.
Dragon
Nope she lost it permanently… it’s desolation remember. It’s how the Malefic viper took away that annoying azure dragons arm away till his next evolution
JohnSnowden
Getting real majin buu vibes lol
Rhett Russell
The core was just pure c-grade desolation energy, I’s desolation energy would be controlled and so would be way stronger and deadlier which Eron remarked on after healing Jake.
Andromeda Adams
Anyone else think Jake will come in and fight or at least save them at the last minute? Tyftc! On the edge of my seat!
MarineDebris
It's acting like an elemental that gained sentience. And recently at that. It's very childlike.
Teshkal
It also said in previous chapters that there were very few experts capable of healing desolation damage, not none
Hayden Leech
As long as cutting it off preserves the soul shape. I’d assume the damage is already done, the wing was grey and lifeless when she cut it off.
Tyler Owens
@William Wilson This is an absolutely wild and unhinged take… I love it
Phasmatic7
Thankies for the chapie zogie
Phasmatic7
Yeah that's why she cut her own wing off..
Gavin
This was mentioned as a possibility some time ago. I assume the child lost everything and became this. Kinda sad
Hayden Leech
Somebody put forth the idea that it’s a holy church creation. I love the idea that the holy church sacrificed dozens of its own planets in order to create a desolation calamity it can sorta point at its enemies.
Dan
I've been fully on board with EC manipulating I, I've even said as much myself. I said EC had nothing to do with I's creation, which includes prior knowledge of his planet
Seen Death
Id view jake like an elderly in a old persons home, able to smack baloons around with a pool noodle just fine, but cant go back to construction work (fighting) lol SS could potentially show up, but i could either see his sword being incredibly resistant(or immune) to desolation, or suprisingly weak so he might not actually be that much of a help? Its a rough situation
William WIlson
I think I was fungus of some sort that took advantage of the prima event and sucked everyone on the planet dry of life and evolved into this. It would explain a lot because to the fungus home could be part of itself. It would also explain how it could be so powerful yet so easily manipulated by someone probably Ell’Hakan. Fungus have weak souls, we also know from the invasion that Miranda at least believes Ell’Hakans Bloodline works upon the true soul make him the most likely to be able to manipulate this being. Just because Ell’Hakan was surprised when I was birthed it doesn't mean Ell’Hakan hasn't manipulated I. I mean it's totally Ell’Hakans style to enslave the more powerful and send them after Jake in the hopes one will kill the other while making the other beatable in a fight. What Ell’Hakan doesn't know is Jake maybe the only c grade in the milky way universe who can stand next to and touch I. I'd much rather Jake treat I as the child it is and discipline the guy and make a new monster friend but Jake is definitely incoming.
Seen Death
This is kinda how i think Eron's "immortality" would be viewed by the masses lol. "Im here to help!" Nono its really ok! Lol
Michael Younger
This setup feels very Eversmile to me
Robert Vick
mate it said in previous chapters that desolation is permanent damage until next grade
William WIlson
I don't think she lost the wing for the grade, personally I think just about any god could fix it and eron could as well. I definitely see villy helping her being a beast and desolation expert.
William WIlson
You do realize that if your right Jacob literally completely fucked up his own Path knowingly. He himself warned Casper because if he hadn't it would have hurt his Path, imagine how much worse it would be if Jacob actively tried to set up his friends adopted daughters to die. If Jacob did this Jake doesn't need to kill him he not only destabilized his only path but then completely cut it with little chance he could ever get another path.
Xarroworth
I bet stormild could heal sylphies wing
Cordell Patrick
Villy's scales are able to handle it just fine. We saw that with the planetary core. So it's completely possible for jake to safely beat this guy to pieces
Dan
When I first appeared, Ell'Cunt was just as surprised as Jake, so I have my doubts he had anything to do with it's creation
Cordell Patrick
I believe she absorbed it I don't remember it activating.
Cordell Patrick
Or it was a planet Ell'Cunt had visited and used the Holy Churches teachings but I's creation broke the first bindings and now he has another set in place once more using the Holy Churches teachings
William WIlson
We don't know if the feather was fully digested and it's effects after digestion. There is every possibility that the feather is gone. Also I don't think Jake's mask connection with the Fallen King would help Sylphie
Cordell Patrick
No healers and potions can fix that now also her own self healing can if her endurance is high enough. Jake has had to grow several body parts back already.
SilverSentry
Potentially. Hell be passed, but I don't know if he'll kill his friend. I have a sneaking suspicion his relationship with Javob will end up like Villy and the other primordials relationships/friendships.
Hayden Leech
Wait did Sylphie just lose a wing for all of C Grade!?!?!?! Somebody is gonna bleed for that.
Kt-x
Thanks for the chapter
TKOva
Uhhh, not anymore. Also The King bleaches souls. Remember once the outer part is shattered. Inside should be too.
Hayden Leech
September break lol.
Hayden Leech
I wonder if we will see how I happened to come into being. It’s probably sad.
Conclave
Yet with Sylphie and the King's life on the line, I dont see how he wouldnt not rush in. I mean the Jake's middle name is "Reckless"... The real question is what/who is "I". The way he speaks is intriguing and his title being Desolate Child of Loss, could indicate some kind of link with EH or something. Maybe the orange Fuck's managed to create some entity based on emotions and Nothingness at the same time. After all EH had plenty of time to experiment just like Jake did in Nevermore. Maybe "I" is kind of Temlat but was made after Nevermore, with some new ways to use his Bloodline, learn in Nevermore
Korrasis
I thought she ended up using the Phoenix feather in nevermore. Am I misremembering?
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!
Mantiqore
Very different meanings lol
Dan
I is saying some interesting stuff, he almost sounds like he's referring to the holy land when he says "send home" and "ascend". Maybe I's planet was one of the holy church's, and they performed a huge ritual to sacrifice themselves and create I, with the idea of using it to control the flow of the event in an attempt to make Ell'Cunt win. I don't see any other reason why any planet would accept I's request to enter, nor why so many people are readily killing themselves, unless they have a life after death option
Shaibene
"I" seems like a confused child that doesn't quite understand social rules
Shaibene
Emaciated and emancipated are 2 different words with different meanings
Jennifer Leigh
Like the King, Jake destroys the outer soul not the Truesoul. Eternal hunger may eat it though.
BlackRazaras
Thanks for the chapter

Jennifer Leigh
When they start fighting I for real, the King hits with his hammer. Then, "a condensed bullet of wing struck". -> bullet of wind?
Michael mann
“At the same time, a condensed bullet of wing struck…” Should this be Wind rather than Wing?
Cory Sauls
TFTC. We are slowly approaching a massive cliff.
Ansordia
So basicly an Eron but offensive? Great... Wonder what counters it... Maybe juiced up Jake arcane affinity stability version... Maaaaybe but I doubt Zogarth would cheapen this enemy that way... Also would love to see Jake interact with it safely... Also weird target to go for considering both can't be killed. Like the fallen kings "true" body isn't even here (jake's mask), and sylphie should have that phonix feather that soneone reminded me last chapter also I think the Fallen king connection (to jake) could be exploited to bring both of them back considering Sylphie is almost Jake.
Zach
Jake’s about to body the orange fuck after this charade!
eatingpitza314
"condensed bullet of wing struck the Desolate Child of Loss" --> "bullet of wind"?
Michael Dugan
I also think that anybody that Jake kills with his Gaze of the Primal Hunter doesn't get to go to the Holy Land because the power destroys the soul of the target.
BumAssBumAss
"bullet of wing" -> "Bullet of wind"
Jennifer Leigh
Totally didn't see that. I suppose I is free from the regular lifeform rules?
Michael Dugan
The World leader mentioned this is her path and I have a sinking feeling that Jacob foresaw that Sylphie and the King would come to this planet so he is also to blame. Friend or not Jacob is a dead man walking when Jake figures it out.
Jaydan Man
Jake still isnt on top form, this could easily be the start of an ambush

Whatever "I" is, it's worth noting that, like sylphie, it's still designated as a child. I don't think it's a unique lifeform, i think its just the last of it's kind. Maybe "I" was an abberation born with a strong affinity to the concept of desolation or maybe it integrated some horrid treasure into itself.
