Ch. 561Prophet
Key Plot Points and Events
- Sig completes the "Forging the Blade of Spirit and Flesh" ritual, creating a prototype of the Black Knight's core ability, which ignores defense and breaks through with "Fall."
- Sig fuses his flesh and will with the prototype, creating a "Secret Art" that aids his promotion to Sequence 4 "Prophet" of the "White Tower Path."
- The promotion to "Prophet" grants Sig the authority of "prophecy" or "Future Sight," which is different from divination and relies more on deducing the future from existing information.
Character Developments
- Sig demonstrates his ability to develop and adapt "Secret Arts" and his understanding of the Divine Paths' interconnections.
- Sig's goal remains Sequence 3, but he acknowledges the distant prospect of becoming an Outer God.
Significant Themes
- The interconnectedness of the Divine Paths and their mutual promotion.
- The difference between divination and prophecy, with prophecy being more about deducing the future from information rather than spiritual perception.
- The concept of "Laplace's Demon" and the influence of information on future outcomes.
Character Interactions
- Sig considers seeking inspiration from characters with prophecy abilities for his final promotion ritual: Madame Shyarly, Katakuri, and Basil Hawkins.
