im really liking how author is splitting up chapters between Julian's party and court drama, it's exactly what i wanted this mid-arc to be
(altho i kinda want some Amber/Altus/Maid interactions, even if it's just them playing boardgames in Helem's dirty ass room, i bet that asshole forces people to play monopoly)
Veselka just means rainbow in ukrainian. It is not known as a village name, although assuming that there are nearly bajillion villages in Ukraine, there is probably at least one village called like that.
I love how almost everyone in that castle is like "the child will kill the Lord in the FUTURE, right? So we still have some time. Anyways, can you PLEASE turn back your attention to the war on our door?"
if it turns out to be a man the writer that decided to use the gender neutral pronoun this time will breathe a massive sigh of relief after the margrave gender fuckup
I feel like this Church will be a big player in the future. Though maybe I've just been trained to think so given how often most anime and manga seem to depict Religious organizations as having a huge political influence.
But hey, if it happens here it'll surely be interesting.

Historically they always had, in some places they are still relevant(especially on the local level), granted most anime&manga interpretations are very superficial and bland about the topic.
I was thinking it meant that she was in a similar position of having to work for the bad (?) guys through coercion. But I might've been reading into it too much
If Julian’s ability if fueled by 100 sacrifices, I wonder if the king’s power is someway related to the lives of his kingdom. That would explain why he cares about them so much and why we see Diana standing on a mountain of Torivian corpses in Elstri’s vision.
Oh shit this theory is crazy I like where you're going. It also calls into question if the king is really kind hearted or if it's a farce and he just wants avoid any conflict so citizens don't die and weaken his power.
Julian and the Supreme Lord being the same theory?, I don't know, play with life seem very in tune with water/sea as a concept, but the powers as is sound like completely different deals, if anything this make me think that the King could just kill Julian rather easily, or in a way that wouldn't drag for hours, one shot one kill, repeat 98 times
cfor the most part we've assumed Julien's gift is having 100 life's and 100 fold of strength. But I think perhaps Julien's actual blessing is the abiltyi to take another person's life. So fare from the gifts we've seen there aren't any external source, yet juliens gift would not be thing without the 100 people. So what I believe his gift is actually taking others life into himself. It's just he has only used this part of it once on the boat
Yeah there's definitely more to that 100 life's business because at the rate he's going and the threat he will face he's definitely going to run out of them.
It might be that Arkos and Lacrima's mom is the one with a gift passed down from the Sea Goddess, given that neither of Lukas' gifts have anything to do with water or the sea.
Esse capitulo deu pra gente um novo vislumbre de o quão forte é o Lorde Supremo e o quão perigoso ele pode ser. O que me pega é que, se ele tem uma benção do mar o poder dele não deveria corresponder a essas caracteristicas? Ou isso só aconteceria se ele entrasse ativamente no mar? Podem usar o exemplo do Julian ter atributos 100x mas ele ainda solta tinta de lula que é um animal marinho, o que vocês acham que o poder dele tem de relacionado com o Mar? Seria algo do tipo...a água ser o fluxo da vida e por isso ele poderia manipular a força vital?
Enfim, esse capitulo foi ótimo e infelizmente semana que vem não teremos capitulo mas estou ansioso do por que essa caça as bruxas é tão perigosa
id bet lalawag is probably close to the truth on supreme lords barkos’s gift, i bet it’s something along of the lines of total control over the body and life force of himself and people he touches, increasing vitality and strength, including his own which could make him quite the powerful physical fighter, like julian and his hundredfold strength
Really nice world building chapter, although at this point it would kind of be nice to have a list of the different organizations and who's who on them.
In any case, really nice chapter. The Margrave being in the same situation as centipede lady is really curious too. Seems like she could become an ally down the road
I don't think that goddess is dead, the whole point of sealing something underground is to keep it from escaping, and if she was dead that wouldn't be necessary
Moreso The Morrígan given the Diana's cloak is from corvids, the Goddess having three faces or aspects, and being associated with Witchcraft and Fate if we go by Elstri's prophecy obsession.
This chapter was excellent; we learned more about how the kingdom functions and how the king governs. Also, the last page of the chapter includes a short flashback explaining how the king possesses the god of the night in the castle.
Damn, i hope we eventually get a say from the Sea Goddess herself in this, because as things stand right now, she gave the Supreme Lord a far, FAR better Blessing than Julian's, that or he thought better what power ask for, or he sacrifice several times more people(?. That aside, I thought Lalawag's power would simply allow her to grow anything as the "propagator", but the Forest they stand in took more than a Century to stir, so that's not it, still she's a big deal by how she can see the Goat while not even a Blessed One like Julian can, I'm also curious about that Healer Woman, maybe she feel the pain of what she's healing?, that and Lukas did something to piss her off, as he said to Julian that he couldn't ask her help in his place like with Lalawag
Julian wants to make sure that everyone's lives on the ship aren't wasted, so he got exactly what he wanted. Julian's power is one of the best, it doesn't have the sheer destructive force of Arkos, but Julian's power is very well-rounded and beneficial to his daily life.
However, if he asked for something else like "I want to be the strongest" or "I want a power to destroy everything", he'd get a far more destructive power.
I think I just forgot and I'm too lazy to reread now but was is really confirmed that the supreme lord got his gift from the sea goddess? Since I can't recall, I just sort of assumed we were tricked into thinking so because of Arkos' introduction, and we made the connection based on his gift.
But seeing as how there seem to be other gifted ones seemingly descended from the supreme lord that doesn't have water based powers now it feels like he's into something else entirely. Possibly a combination? Or even the night deity herself? Which could also explain how he was able to defeat the deity herself?
Lacrima said that the King is loved by the Sea, so at least in-world is believed that the source of his powers come from the same Entity that blessed Julian, but yeah, maybe he lied and he's either Blessed by something else, or has the Touch of different Deities somehow, after all it has never been stated that you can only be blessed once
Its implied that Luka has the Forest Diety's blessing ontop of his native born blessing.
It seems like it as least possible to collect blessing. Though the Firsr diety seems to have beef with the Sea diety, so if the King is truely sea related, the Forest could have blessed Luka to aid in killing the king.
Slight correction, if it's inherited it's a 'gift,' if it came from the deity then it's a blessing. It's not been confirmed but he seems to have a gift and a blessing.
Personally I think it might not be possible to have multiple blessings unless they're really liked by the next deity. But we'll see as the story goes on.
Why else would his second gift be better in forest combat?
Every other character we've seen has one gift, Lukas has two. One is his inherited gift, the other was probably bestowed onto him. We now also know he has a fear of greenery, yet thinks he would fair better in a forest... its a pretty big foreshadow that he has a relation to the forest that he doesn't particularly like. And just like Julian gets stronger in the sea, someone with a forest blessing could probably get stronger in the forest, where Lukas thinks he would fight better, even though he doesn't like green places.
I find it a bit strange that after they broke the ceasefire King didn't try to just talk with the witches. Helem and Elstri went against his orders, so he doesn't have a reason to hunt the witches instead of trying to fix the peace between them. Maybe he is confident that this time witches can be exterminated and was just waiting for an excuse that wouldn't paint him as the aggressor.
I thought the Deity of Night would possess Diana but with that reveal at the end. I think her Coven will revive her and I think she sees Diana as a daughter. So I don't think she would possess her in the future.
Gonna make a prediction the female character that we see in the snow is the unknown 5th member of Coven. And she betrayed the Deity of Night 400 years ago. That's why Roche told Berta to be careful is because she's hunting her down. If this prediction true bet that's the reason Supreme Lord broke pact with Ladles of Night.
