Gods

I was just musing about the nature of the divine in the Shadow Slave universe and I found myself oddly satisfied with how the Gods and the lesser deities like the Daemons have been portrayed in the story.

I am so glad that G3 chose to show Gods and Daemons as beings that actually warrant reverence and not just normal people with overpowered abilities.

Like, in the recent chapters, we find that the Divine Realms are actually corpses of the Gods. How awesome is that? Gods are supposed to be unfathomable and G3 has done an amazing job at portraying that.

Even when the Daemons were mentioned or described, it was done with details that befit their station as lesser deities.

I mean, that time when Sunny witnessed Hope in the Ivory Tower at the end of his Second Nightmare? I would have been so pissed, if Hope simply turned out to be another hot chick who was clad in chains on the inside of the Ivory Tower.

And Nether’s reflection in the Great River in Sunny’s Third Nightmare? Sunny coughed up blood by simply witnessing the reflection of a Daemon in full battle mode. Imagine the presence Nether would possess in actuality?!! Now, that is what you call an actual deity!!

Whenever the Gods were mentioned in Shadow Slave, I prayed to the heavens above that please don’t let it be another loli dressed in rags who sits in the clouds and controls the entire story. What is the point in calling them Gods if they’re so… puny?

Actually making Gods seem like beings that are beyond the comprehension of normal people, is so tough. But G3 has done it beautifully.

Anyway, I just wanted to get this out of my system… don’t mind me!😅
