Just did a quick search:
Lust - Huugo (Dead now) Gluttony - Ariel Greed - Huugo (Dead now) Sloth - Shiro (Ascended) Wrath - Wrath Envy - Sophia Pride - Shiro (Ascended) Chastity - Sue Temperance - Dustin Charity - Sensei Diligence - Potimas Patience - Mera Kindness - Shun Humility - (Unknown) Which leaves Sloth, Pride, or Humility... Did Ariel get one of those, to complement her Gluttony? Last edited by Rageth; 2017-03-08 at 10:03. |

So, a quick summary: Ariel's POV and Potimas is totally losing it because of what Shiro did And Ariel is totally trolling Potimas in response
Potimas is controlling the Type Ω and not doing a good job anymore... and notices too late that Ariel has healed all her wounds. He wonders what the heck is going on... and the surprise is that Ariel has taken Humility, which allows her to temporarily gain the power of a god at the expense of consuming her soul (eek!). It would have been nice if this had been foreshadowed a bit more but it's quite cool. I guess this happened sometime in the last few years - Shiro last mentions Humility back when she took Sue to her side (about 4 years ago in world). |

^ Not sure, since the problem is probably soul energy rather than 'having spare souls', she might be able to lessen the effects instead of negating it (Humility sounds like you'll drop death right after you are done with it).
In any event, since Ariel's current ace in the hole surely has long term self-weakening side-effect; that's yet another proof that 'some divine providence' is weakening her just enough so that Shun has a chance at killing her.....

One thought I've had is that maybe Shiro could have a real child and reincarnate Ariel's soul into it.
PS About half-way through the translation. Hehe, Ariel sure is cracking me up this chapter. Hard to translate the nuances but she's hilarious... |

OTOH, Potimas' strategy relies on the god not being able to regen energy at all, as even a tiny bit of regen means it doesn't matter the kind of damage done. Quote:
Also, I am amused because Shiro's chapter reflected a lot of what I mentioned about Potimas: I would have a lot of respect for him if during his monologue he was praying really hard about his 1 in 10 000 000 odds of his strategy working, instead of gloating, simply because "throwing everything you can at an enemy" works so much better if you are aware of your odds. basically, Shiro is well aware her plan is a long shot, and that is delicious. |

Translation is up for "297 – Elf Village Battle ⑨"
Scream like a pig, Potimas! While it would have been nice to get a hint of this in advance, Ariel's new skill sure is awesome. Obviously it always existed and there was always the possibility for Ariel to acquire new skills, so there's that... but it still feels a bit shonen-esque. But I guess that suits Ariel |

In the "Crest of the Stars" series, one of my favourite scenes is the talk on pride (touching off from a artwork of mountains), and how it is better to set yourself as a high peak (to rise up) rather than to dig trenches around you (to lower others). Shiro is more the former and Potimas is more the latter. |

Oh no....
Consume her soul.... it might end up in a fate worse than death.... (in a happy ending scenario, Ariel still lives) If it turns out that Ariel's part of the soul was consumed leaving the body-in-charge one We might get the completed version of 'Zannen Maou Shoujo Ariel' The late Ariel might want to kill herself over many times if she could see this, Kuro will despair over how the proud and strong Ariel has degraded |

Feel like since Ariel and Shiro soul merged well but Ariel's awareness was more dominant
Taking that away will leave Shiro's soul but there is definitely some influence from Ariel's though it will now be more of a minor role (means more hopelessness than before) |
