Chapter 1228: Clearing The Grey Rot 13
In the end, Ghostpro's resolution was to use Draco's Law of True Destruction to deal with his portion of the grey rot and then move on. The moment he copied it, the drain was a shocking 25% per second, causing him to only have about 4 seconds to charge a rather powerful orb of destruction before firing it out into the grey rot.
The effect was obviously very good, with a huge portion of the grey rot directly vaporizing into nothingness. It might be resistant to many things, but nothing in this world was resistant to Destruction Energy apart from destruction-related beings.
Ghostpro checked the drops, which were enabled for him since he used Draco's law which also granted immunity rather than the raw element or energy itself. With a smile, he recharged his Divine Energy manually by stealing the mighty Shadowheart's law, then switched back to Draco's law.
By switching between both, Ghostpro was able to find a clever way to utilize his law to make the most of his situation.
For Hades, the 'problem' was not much of a problem in truth. As one who was put in the overpowered group, it was not just because he was suave and handsome, but because his law made the other core members want to shun him due to fear.
｢Name: Hades – True God
Level: The Law of Infinite Devouring (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Infinite Devouring - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This is the pinnacle law of the Devouring series that grants its user the ability to absorb anything from any source and convert it to Divine Essence, Divine Energy, etc. The quality of the conversion depends on the law's rank.
Sources: Heaven's Devourer (Divine Class) + Infinite Absorption (Passive Skill).｣
This fellow had already been a menace with his Heaven's Devourer Divine Class, but once he latched onto the law of Infinite Devouring, it was as if a tiger had been given wings. His foes would only end up as his nourishment, which was a terrifying prospect, and now his law even allowed him to turn consumed beings into Divine Essence to empower himself!
Hades still wore his black windbreaker over a pair of casual black pants, regardless of within Boundless or out of it. He raised his feet and stomped them down, digging into the ground as he spread them apart, his hand stretching out to each side.
He inhaled deeply, emptying his lungs of air before suddenly thrusting his hands forward in a gripping motion, a swirl of darkness manifesting in between his two palms. The entire area changed as a huge suction force so powerful that it even caused space to tremble manifested.
Its range was not a joke too, going as far as a few hundred meters. Since Hades was standing in front of the grey rot, it was the main recipient of his attack, and unlike what one would expect, the usually resilient grey rot was dragged over like a victim in a horror movie.
The moment it came into contact with his vortex, it was immediately devoured without the ability to pull any of its stunts. One could almost hear the grey rot screeching for help as it tried to resist, stretching a foggy hand outward for someone to save it, but who could possibly rescue the meat in the mouth of a tiger?
Its fate was sealed.
Krona wielded his trident and stood atop a small hill of stagnant water which was under his control, his sharp eyes scanning the grey rot. He also checked the guild chat and saw that the other water element users were encountering difficulties, so he refrained from using it.
His brow furrowed as summoning the underwater behemoths would also be useless since they primarily used water-based attacks. It seemed like this time, he would have to make a move personally.
｢Name: Krona – True God
Level: The Law of Endless Seas (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Endless Seas - Divine Law
Grade: SSS+
Effect: This law focuses on the ability of the user to make use of the tidal force of the sea to overcome obstacles in their way. The force that can be used and applied is near limitless, but is also capped by the rank of the law in terms of maximal damage output.
Sources: Sub-Mariner (Divine Class) + Endless Waves (Active Skill).｣
"Hmph," Krona snorted and slammed the butt of his trident down into the water he was standing atop.
Immediately, the water trembled but didn't move, rather clumping together before releasing a sort of… shockwave? It was a slow-moving shockwave colored blue that looked like a pulsing ring that one would see in a sonar.
This ring advanced slowly and struck the edge of the grey rot, seemingly to clash with it. The effect was actually minimal, but the force of the shockwave did not diminish, rather being bounced back as it slowly returned to Krona.
Once it reached the fellow, it merged into the water he stood atop and set
out again, this time being about 1.5x faster and thicker at the same time as it approached the same spot it struck before.
This time, it did affect the grey rot a bit more, destroying a tiny, barely visible portion before heading back. Once it returned, it sent out with what was 2x the thickness and speed of its first iteration, and achieved greater effects.
This continued over and over as Krona's tidal force grew stronger with each tide that was sent out until it became powerful enough to smash the grey rot's borders head-on and push it back by whole meters at a time.
This was how Krona's law worked, building up slowly until it became powerful like an unstoppable force. What made him overpowered was the sheer sustainability because the energy cost was low when he spread out the growth of the tide like this.
Obviously, he could make his first tide as strong as a bull's charge but that would also drain so much energy while not being sustainable for farming in this manner, though it would obviously be better for direct confrontations.
With this, he had the capital to deal with anything that came his way.
"HAARGH!" Pedro Sousa roared as he transformed into his Nephilim state, marveling at the power of his law.
｢Name: Pedro – True God
Level: The Law of Racial Fusion (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Racial Fusion - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This is a unique law that has no real power of its own except to merge two racial bloodlines within one single being seamlessly, allowing them to exhibit the combination of both powers together and individually while also increasing its effectiveness by 500% at the Basic rank.
Sources: Nephilim (Divine Class) + Demonic Devilry (Passive Skill).｣
Usually, Pedro Sousa could only become one of the two, either Horned Demon or Dark Angel. Even his former Divine Class split the two into one half, allowing him to use the powers of both, but individually.
However, for the first time in his life, he was able to fully merge the two and transform into a true Nephilim, a creature of legend with both Demon and Devil traits. Even in the Lucifer Lineage, there had been only a select few who could achieve this and in the era before Draco, such fellows would have been clan heads.
Now, Pedro Sousa had both the traits of the races. Physically he was still his tall and well-built self, but his muscles were not bulky at all, similar to the true form of Dark Angels and Horned Demons.
He had the long flowing hair of Demon Supremes, but his hair and eyes were black in color like a Dark Angel. His attire was the skin-tight polymer/Kevlar like suit of the Dark Angels but it was a boiling red hue like the skin of Demons and had lines of hellfire running through it.
Behind him were two bird-like wings that were blood red in color and were lit on fire, their flames being a mixture of black fire of dark angels and hellfire of the demons.
The sheer power Pedro radiated at this moment was intense, however, his transformation was also rapidly swallowing his Divine Energy, so he did not have much time to admire himself. Rather, he flapped his wing and took to the sky.
With a wave of his hand, he manifested a grim reaper's scythe that was also on fire and swung out, releasing crescent-shaped black and red waves that struck the grey rot and caused it to melt like butter in the sun.
Black fire and hellfire alone were enough to cause the grey rot trouble, but a combination of both was almost akin to Destruction Energy in terms of potency. Pedro did not stop there, releasing multiple slashes within a second, causing a rain of devastation to land upon the grey rot in his area.
He then flapped his wings and sent countless feathers coated in the combination of the two deadly fires into the grey rot as he lost altitude, his Divine Energy fully consumed after that wanton bout.
However, the young man felt exhilarated and excited after unleashing such power, roaring loudly for more!
"Hey, that's pretty good." Hunter101Bomber (Austin Wu) exclaimed as he witnessed Pedro's display.
He was here with a similar mindset to Armonia, mostly to research the grey rot. He quite found the research of blood and bloodlines to be interesting so seeing Pedro perfectly combine what was essentially two different bloodlines together definitely impressed him.
He put Pedro on his list of people to work on later and then focused on the grey rot. He had been dutifully following the progress of the others and was amazed by the characteristics of the grey rot that they had dug out so far.
The entity behind the grey rot was definitely not a simple creature at all, and Hunter was definitely looking forward to dissecting it to see how its composition was!
Hmm, but before that, he would have to fulfill his quota allotted by Draco and quell a certain amount of the grey rot per day. Fine then, let's see what he had to work with…
｢Name: Hunter101Bomber – True God
Level: The Law of Sanguine Supremacy (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Sanguine Supremacy - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This is a special law within the blood-related series that is the only one that focuses on manipulating only the blood that comes from one's own body as opposed to the one belonging to others. Your blood is now a primordial force of its own, containing your consciousness and essence, able to achieve many offensive, defensive, and supportive effects.
Sources: Blood Sovereign (Divine Class) + Living Blood (Passive Skill).｣
The law's details were clear, and Hunter did remember choosing this one because it was the most versatile of those offered to him. Thankfully, his previous Blood Sovereign Divine Class afforded him many skills and abilities that allowed him to increase his blood volume greatly.
Not to mention that his Titan King inheritance from the Immortal Lineage which focused on defense and regeneration could have him refill his blood endlessly, like an infinite container.
Thinking like this, Hunter smiled and thrust his hand forward, manifesting a thick whip made of blood that glowed with a potent red light, showing the strength of his own blood. After all, unlike normal blood fighters, he was a bloodline holder and even the inheritor of Quetzalcoatl, so the power of his blood could drown a vampire king if they dared to drink it.
With a cruel glint in his eye, he lunged forward and swung, his whip searing through the grey rot. The area it passed through was directly obliterated without the chance of even trying to absorb the energy of his blood because it was simply too potent when weaponized like this.
His law originally was quite average but not enough to be 'overpowered', but it was the quality of the blood that the law used that made it so tyrannical.
