Neither the Sword Domain nor the Song Domain had won the war.
Instead, both of them ceased to exist. Sunny and Nephis had won the war instead.
Changing Star was destined to become the new Sovereign of humanity…
However, the Lord of Shadows could not stand by her side.
Because he was the fateless heir of Weaver, the Demon of Fate.
Simply disappearing into obscurity was not going to work, either. Anvil and Ki Song were able to hide their existence because they had become Supreme in the darkness of the Underworld, unwitnessed by anyone… Sunny, however, attained Supremacy in the most flamboyant fashion.
He became Supreme in front of hundreds of thousands of Awakened warriors, summoning a legion of shadows to save them from the tide abominations and slaying the King of Swords in full view of everyone who had the ability to see.
So, there was only one solution…
The Lord of Shadows had to die.
