>Apart from that, doing so felt oddly fitting. The Fifth Nightmare would most likely become the most dire trial of his entire perilous life. Stripping all superfluous advantages and facing it as close to his pure self as possible felt like the kind of resolve he needed in order to survive it.

>That meant that Sunny had to leave some, if not all, of his Shadows behind. If it was possible, he also had to reduce the number of shades populating his soul.

Bro going in the 5th barebones.

Well atleast it's a nerf that makes sense narratively.

Anyways this is just a score for Saintless, I see the Evening Star as their equivalent of an engagement ring.

She technically meets most if not all the requirements you need to be considered one.

1. Transformation Ability

2568 :

>The jade nature of her Supreme body was not the only different thing about Saint's appearance, though. She had returned to her usual height now, but immediately after completing her evolution, Saint was at least ten meters tall, towering above him like a breathtaking monument.

>He had a suspicion that even that was not the limit of how tall Saint could become as long as she wished to. She had gained the ability to change her size and mass at will after absorbing the essence of one of Mordret's Reflections — now, Sunny knew that Saint could achieve that by using the negative quality of Nothing. **And since she had absorbed far more Nothing in the Palace of Imagination, there was no telling what her true height was now.**

2. Profound connection to her Source Element(s)

A. True Darkness

2740 :

>Saint had been able to vanquish the true darkness because she was of a higher Rank than Revel, and therefore could exert greater authority over the element they were both attuned to.

B. Nothingness

2568 :

>Saint had gained a measure of control over Nothing, which allowed her to contain it within herself and make use of it to pursue her goals.

3. Control over her Will

2674 :

>Saint's sword cut a black line in the fabric of reality, severing the gargantuan red tentacle.

4. Expression of Authority

3116 :

>[Princes of the Underworld]

...

>Maybe that Attribute did grant Saint some benefit, like gaining recognition among the creatures of the Underworld or being able to control ancient sorceries left behind by Nether better. But mostly, it must have simply functioned as a symbol of her authority — a spiritual mark that proclaimed her status as a Tyrant.

5. Domain

3116 :

>Ability: [Royal Banner].

>Ability Description: [Those who fight under this Shadow's stalwart banner are connected to her by the bond of loyalty, and are therefore bestowed the boon of her command. They are vessels of her will and conduits of her power, becoming living armaments for their commander to wield.]

A. Subjects

>Those who followed her command...

B. Domain Boons to Subjects

>...would be connected to her by a mystical bond, and through her to each other.

>...all soldiers under Saint's banner inherited a lesser version of her sublime and varied martial skill

C. Conduits of Power

>they would be infused with her Will,

Edit : I forgot that she can also turn into a torrent of True Darkness so she technically has 2 transformation abilities.
