Chapter 1229: Clearing The Grey Rot 14
The grey rot was in the process of discovering something new about itself with each lash from Hunter101Bomber. His heavy-handed whipping struck its semi-tangible grey fog, causing it to sear with hints of pleasure and pain.
Grey rot: Ang! Y-Yamete Kudasai~
Hunter: …
The young man would likely never be able to use his abilities the same as he thickened the whips and made sure that each attack ended with a blood explosion that caused fragments of the grey rot to evaporate like vapor meeting a strong breeze.
Then, there were the final members of the overpowered, Tunder Power.
This fellow was analyzing the grey rot with his hawkish eyes, his arms and body clear of any weaponry that could be used to fight, but the fellow was definitely armed to the teeth in a plane that couldn't be seen.
｢Name: Tunder Power – True God
Level: The Law of Void Piercing (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣ Only on m v|le|mp|yr
｢Law of Void Piercing - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: A very rare space-related law that allows the user to penetrate space with any item that this law is imbued into, be it their body, their skills or techniques, or projectiles. The amount of distance the items that penetrate space can travel depends on the amount of Divine Energy supplied, and the various imbued attacks will gain an increased damage factor depending on the rank of this law.
While in the void, all attacks are undetectable by any means below Origin Rank.

Fearsome! Tyrannical!
Tunder Power had focused on his spatial affinity through his Hou Yi avatar to enhance his archery, and it had paid off with the culmination of this rather special law. He could previously send items through the void, but that was only limited to arrows, and even then, it had many limitations.
Firstly, his Divine Class didn't let him break space, just pass through it. Secondly, it was loudly telegraphed, and even without a spatial affinity, one could eventually deal with it as long as they paid attention to the cues.
Thirdly, it gained no void damage boost except what Tunder himself put in, so he previously had a set of Legendary bows and Legendary as well as Epic arrows with different abilities to maximize his abilities.
But now…
Tunder Power placed his hand into the void and took out a Divine Rank Bow that was custom made for him by Draco and directly pulled on its string lightly. An arrow manifested that was coalesced by the ambient Divine Energy, forming a Divine Arrow of a white color.
Tunder's Law was imbued into the arrow, which caused it to adopt a purple color as it became a Divine Spatial Arrow, which was then fired out. The moment it left the bow, the arrow disappeared without even making a single ripple in space, as if it had never been there.
However, in the next second, a random segment of the grey rot within Tunder Power's allotted range was suddenly struck with a void explosion that formed a sphere of blackish purple light.
Afterward, that area was cleared and became open, in which more of the grey rot tried to fill, but struggled to due to the residual chaotic void energy. Tunder Power himself casually pulled the bowstring again and repeated the same process in another place.
This was why he was considered overpowered. Usually, those who could pierce space usually had to pierce space to enter and pierce space to come out to attack, which was akin to what he did before.
Now, Tunder could launch his attacks without even needing to exit the void, which was truly nonsensical. Even if you knew beforehand that he had this ability, what could you do?
He was a super long-ranged fighter and any foe fighting against him needed to close the distance to have a fighting chance, but if Tunder kept firing at his foes with each attack being able to explode without them being able to sense it because it was in a different spatial plane, what could they do?
Even if an enemy also had spatial-related abilities and could perceive the attacks, that only qualified them to fight equally with Tunder. They now had to deal with his own ability to endlessly increase the distance by piercing space with his body, so how could you hit him?
Look, if you were paired against this freak, forget about fighting. Just find a way to block or be immune to his attacks and you can leave with a draw and keep your dog life.

To the Southeast direction, one could find the group called the True Core, who were gathered by Sublime Notion. This featured the actual leaders of Umbra within the game, people who run its day-to-day administration and weren't just overpowered freaks with bloodlines.
First of this group was the Lolitician herself, Sublime.
｢Name: Sublime Notion – True God
Level: The Law of Divine Administration (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Divine Administration - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: A special non-combat law that greatly enhances the user's ability to manage any territory that is allocated to their purview. All aspects of that territory's management are enhanced by 500% at the minimum, including economics, social structure, security, public opinion, education, etc.

How was Sublime Notion supposed to fight with this law? This foolish girl, how dare she disobey Eva's direct command to take a combative law to deal with the grey rot!!
You could be sure that before coming here, Eva had dealt with Sublime Notion properly, making the Lolitician full of anger and grievance. In this world, apart from her beloved Uncle Drunk Bastard, her mom and dad, and Kiran, it was only Eva who could suppress her.
After being disciplined, Sublime Notion was naturally planning to take all her anger out on the grey rot, so she came wearing a full set of BDSM dominatrix attire. She looked ridiculous with her near flat bum and huge chest that could barely be suppressed in the skin-tight attire, especially her small and cute face covered behind the mask.
However, the cruelty and malice radiating off her as she snickered with evil was palpable, almost forming its own Super Saiyan-like aura. She held the whip in her hand with which the tip was a thick sphere with spikes poking from it like a hedgehog.
"Hehe~ Little Grey Rot, you look so submissive and bullyable~ Don't run, let mommy teach you the meaning of despair and pain~" Sublime whispered in a chilling voice that would cause even the bravest man to have goosebumps.
Sublime Notion leapt forth and the grey rot where she targeted instantly fled, receding backwards. This caused Sublime to be extremely dissatisfied as she jumped towards the grey rot to capture and whip it using her 'special techniques', but the grey rot kept fleeing.
Sublime Notion: Don't runnn~♡ The fun is just beginning~♡
Grey rot: HELP!! HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Deployed Soldier: "…"
Justin Davis Banks was watching Sublime Notion literally do the impossible by defeating the grey rot using her sheer force of presence, no bloodline nor laws involved. He wasn't shocked, just full of pity for the grey rot to encounter this evil creature in such a height-deprived body then for Kiran who endured this every day.
As for him, he was troubled by his own quarry.
｢Name: Deployed Soldier – True God
Level: The Law of Supreme General (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Supreme General - Divine Law
Grade: EX
Effect: A special non-combat law that greatly enhances the user's ability to manage any army or militia force comprising warriors intent on combating foes of equal or greater force. Under the user's control, any force they command becomes 500% stronger at the minimum while also gaining Fast Travel, Infinite Supplies, Anti-Scouting, Spiritual Handlers, and Perfect Maintenance.

He too had chosen a law that would assist with his future job since he was hardly involved in fighting. Among the core members, he relied the most on equipment and techniques to fight, especially against those world bosses.
If he hadn't called up Vita Kingdom's army to act as cannon fodder for the core members to recover during those extremely tough World Boss raids, many of them would have failed. Luckily, Vita Kingdom had Hikari who could resurrect the dead, otherwise, they would have lost millions of soldiers over the years.
Even now, he could technically use his class and law to bypass the limit of the Ascension Road to bring up Vita's army to help him clear the grey rot but… how? Vita's army hadn't even reached the peak of the main plane, much less reached the standard of being a True God army.
To bring them up would be feeding the grey rot with new material to call up as monster manifestations.
Meanwhile, he did have a kit of Divine Items that gave him the ability to fight personally, not to mention his bloodline that was bestowed as well as Control, but those were not in line with what everyone else did.
The command from above was to use laws and game-related abilities to deal with the issue, and avoid bloodline or control. Those like Cold Summer and Sublime Notion had found clever loopholes, one using their supernatural gene which was not a bloodline while the other used her sheer evil, so they didn't break the rules.
Looking at his law, it was truly useful for its grade. Putting aside the 500% boost to his army, they gained five powerful features. The first was Fast Travel, which was not moving faster, but literally the Fast Travel from single-player games.
He could teleport to anywhere on the map as long as he had either been there before or had 'unlocked' it, which basically meant that he knew about it. The second was Infinite Supplies, which meant that logistics was no longer a problem.
Of course, within Boundless, there were inventories and Bags of Holding so it was already a minor problem, but even if you had ways to carry resources, you still needed the actual resources itself, right?!
Well, that was not a problem, Whether it was water, medicinal supplies, or food, the soldiers would have it as long as they needed it. The third feature was Anti-Scouting, which made Deployed's army inscrutable until he began engagement.
You could literally see him walk with 200,000 soldiers to your city but when you turned around to report it, you completely forgot what you saw, leaving you puzzled. When you turned back to look, you would see the 200,000 again, be filled with confidence, turn around… and the same thing.
The fourth feature was Spiritual Handlers, which basically consisted of semi-corporeal handlers for the army who handled the setting up of camps, cleaning horses, digging latrines, and the like.
The actual soldiers lived like knights with squires, the 'squires' in question being the Spiritual Handlers who, upon command, could even wipe the ass of the soldiers for them. This was so that the soldiers were always battle-ready and could not complain about fatigue from handling their own upkeep.
Finally, there was the fifth feature of Perfect Maintenance, which basically meant that all weapons, armor, and equipment of all times would be kept clean and have their durability restored the moment the battle was over by Deployed's law.
A crazy thing was that as long as the equipment was 'registered' by the soldier before the battle, it could even be regenerated for them after the battle. So if one exploded their weapon or armor in the midst of battle to save their lives or secure victory, they could return to camp and coalesce it back, fresh and new!
