First sentence " as he flew back through the small", "small hole"? The word is missing

Sivart

Sally, you deserved better I’ll never forget you

Great chapter, leaves on an amazing cliffhanger. Why was the dialogue cut off? - is it because Salvos, having obtained sally's memories, decided to chase after Edithe to bring her back? - is it because of other external interference? So many possibilities, these recent chapters are really well written. Especially Mavos Academy side of things. Once again, great work Melas.

Oooooh! I... This is... ! I need things clearing up! Not shit going off the rails even more! The last chapter and this one! Amazing! The tension keeps going up! Mavos side was mostly recap of last chapter's peak conclusion(?) from a different perspective, but Edithe! I'm concerned and curious!

Sivart

Rachel you are a good kid, and in life bad things can happen for no reason, what trying to say is you might be a jinx, it’s like there is a hidden luck stat and your is at -999

Thanks for the chapter!

Sally dying again hurts 😭, I wonder what'll happen with Edithe, hopefully it's a positive outcome. Can't wait for the next chapter.

I can’t see someone like salvos who loves herself, having a suicide bomb GS

Imagine if Daniel sees the mushroom cloud from where he is and as soon as he stops staring at it in the shock of recognizing the signs of a nuclear blast level explosion, he face palms and quitely asks no one in particular: "Salvos, are you back? What did you do?"

Danijel Turina

Is Edithe stupid? She's about to get herself killed and for no good reason whatsoever. No! Besides, that thing sounds calm and calculated, completely unlike the voice of the Archangel she heard before.

Danijel Turina

Rachel is still in danger; none of those damn fool Mages is an adventurer, who would have a healing potion ready, and Oriur is the worst person to try and get it - "Monster!!"

Danijel Turina

"as the swarm of Centinels abruptly came to a halt and looked back towards the explosion too" - no, mommy ain't coming back from that one.

ArcaneOverride

I look forward to seeing Clayton's reaction once he realizes the explosion was Sally

I got around to reading the "Tian" series and I'm thinking about the possible relevance to "Salvos". Basically, it looks like Melas is playing with variations on the theme of a broken world and its ending, and the role of the evolving main character in it. In "Tian", the main character grows strong enough to save a few people, but the world itself is destroyed. In "Amelia", the main character tries not to give a damn about the world and wants to stay out of any kind of cosmic destiny - she doesn't evolve in power because she starts as basically omnipotent, but seems to evolve in her motivation. With "Salvos", the MC evolves in both power and spiritual maturity. As for power, we don't actually know who will end up being the strongest. Amelia is a very powerful Worldwalker, young and inexperienced but currently the strongest of all three; her system is unknown but it's essentially the Nietzschean thing, survive and get stronger by doing so. Tian is an entry-level Worldwalker, a very powerful Mage using a variant of the Chinese chi/shen cultivation system. Salvos is using a RPG-style advancement method that makes more sense than Amelia's, but far less than Tian's (or Kara's, while we're at it), because the way mana, experience and Divinity actually interact isn's described or known. One would expect experience to come from absorbing residual mana from defeated opponents, but that's obviously not the case, for instance, and one would also expect Divinity to be explained by a transformation of chi to shen (or mana to Divinity) at certain concentrations and degrees of purity. So, the destiny of the world. We've seen the MC maintain equilibrium with the seemingly unbeatable evil god in Amelia. We've seen the MC to fight heroically but lose due to the enormous discrepancy in power, in Tian. We've also seen characters attain the status of a Worldwalker, but not of a True God. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want "Salvos" to end as merely another variant of this, because Salvos looks like someone who is a very good True God material, with her unique combination of traits. Also, the assumptions of the meta-verse are quite depressing - you basically have an evil empire of AI zombies destroying world after world, with good guys failing to do anything about it or not giving a fuck, half the worlds are dying for some reason while almost all of them are in danger of a random invasion, and what seems to be a police force of the Multiverse can be killed by a renegade Worldwalker, meaning that The Good doesn't have actual power behind it. Salvos looks like an excellent candidate, for multiple reasons. She is demonstrably unbiased, and proved herself perfectly capable of deep compassion that transcends race or species; she's extremely intelligent, and capable of reaching profound and accurate conclusions based on limited information; she has a unique combination of a loving nature and ability to acquire and exert power. If there's anyone capable of working with various beings across universes, figuring out what the problems are and solving them, I guess it's her. So, what could she do, if given unlimited power? She would repair her own world and eliminate troublemakers that threaten it, all the while remaining a loving person who's very much grounded in relationships with actual people, without caring too much for the abstractions. Eventually, if a multiversal menace happens to stumble upon the world under her protection, it would be destroyed, and she would look into it more and basically fix problems that are common across Universes, such as Worldwalkers and Void Pirates doing terrible damage. Also, she is someone who would maintain a "hands off" approach and not mess with things if they are none of her business. However, if something becomes her business, she would have the power to do something about it. If anything, she's very good at dealing with pests that trouble some area; essentially, she deals with "wild" creatures so that others might live in peace and mind their own business.
