YM778.TV Chapter 1231: Clearing The Grey Rot 16
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Divine Creation - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This law is part of the rare Creation series, allowing its user to use Divine Energy to manufacture anything in existence at and below the Divine Rank freely.
Sources: The Divine Shaper (Divine Class) + Creation Well (Passive Skill).｣
Warm Spring still retain her Divine Shaper class skills which granted her great creation, healing and resurrection power, but also came with her biggest limitation.
｢Divine Invincibility – Passive skill
Effect: The Divine Shaper has sacrificed most of their offensive capability in favor of bringing the light of creation and creativity to the world. As such, they are permanently protected by a veil of Creation Energy, making them invincible to all conventional damage.｣
Unfortunately, even though most passive skills could be \'turned off\', this one was permanently stuck, just like how Hikari could smack someone with her dragon claw at full force and rather than be turned into meatpaste, the person would have all their hidden ailments be healed.
Before coming up, Warm Spring had initially planned to take the same path as Keira and Lucia. She would team up with someone with strong offensive power and then provide them healing and buffing while they worked on their portions.
However, after reading the discoveries of the other core members, Warm Spring\'s eyes lit up as she found a nice loophole.
As such, she first tapped her chin and then created something that she had seen in the Rank 7 shop once using her Divine Shaper class skills.
｢Craft – Active skill
Effect: From the knowledge you possess, create any finished construct and grant it permanence in the world.
Cooldown: None.｣
The item was a simple spray gun that worked like a pressure washer, using batteries to power its pump that sprayed whatever one pout in its tank outward. This wasn\'t even a magical engineering creation, being something that a normal Elite Rank Engineer could make.
Immediately, Warm Spring grabbed the gun and placed an Aether Crystal in the \'battery\' slot after making some changes to the item using her Divine Shaper class\' most basic active skill, which granted her the ability to basically reshape things using Creation Energy.
After that, she activated her newly gained law and began creating Celestial Energy. Since her Divine Creation True God Law was only at the Basic Rank, the amount she could create and the efficiency in terms of how much Divine Energy she burned to created it was not high.
However, that was not a problem as she managed to fill the tank on the spray gun and excitedly flapped her angelic wings to come over towards the grey rots borders. Once here, she lifted up her gun, pointed into the depths of the grey rot, and fired!
Immediately, it was akin to a fire fighter spraying water from a hose into a raging flame. The Celestial Energy and grey rot met and had a severely terrible reacting, sizzling and hissing sounds occurring as the celestial energy wore away at the hidden abyssal energy within the grey rot.
As the one who not only created the Celestial Energy, but as the one actively sending it into the grey rot\'s mass, Warm Spring was naturally the beneficiary of its demise, her notifications running up with multiple messages of Divine Essence gained as well as Aether Coins and Divine Materials.
The young lady smiled as she had found her method as she began recharging Celestial Energy into the spray gun even as it was emptied, making sure there was always some present as she began to advance into the areas where the grey rot was destroyed.
"Truly remarkable…" John Smith, The Showman, commented as he watched the grey rot, adjusting his hat carefully.
｢Name: The Showman – True God
Level: The Law of True Illusion (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of True Illusion - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This the pinnacle law of illusion series, granting the suer the full expanse of all offensive, defensive and support related abilities that come with the illusion ability. The strength of generated illusions are dependent on the rank of this law while the amount of energy required is dependent on the type of illusion being made.
Sources: Broker (Divine Class) + Divine Illusion (Active Skill).｣
"Hmph, nothing more than petty tricks." Eden snorted from within an illusory plane, coiled around The Showman like a normal snake.
"Now, now, don\'t let Nuwa hear you say that or she will time you out again." The Showman chastised Eden with a soft smile as he took off his magician\'s hat and passed a hand through his smooth black hair.
Eden\'s face became red as the snake hissed unhappily, but no longer argued. Meanwhile, The Showman, who had taken off this hat, tapped both sides of the brim and then plunged his hand in, as if his hat had a depth greater than it visually presented.
The young man rummaged around within with a concentrated face, before suddenly lighting up with a smile. With a great tug, he pulled out a plain white rabbit by the ears, holding it up proudly.
"And for my next trick, I will clear this segment of the grey rot… watch!"
He tossed the rabbit towards the segment of the grey rot before him and it plunged within. The rabbit got up on its two feet and shook tis body casually, looking around with confusion. In a few seconds, it hopped forward a few steps and then sniffed the ground, sensing the grass hidden beneath the grey rot which it began chewing idly.
"What a lame law. You call this the power of illusions? So what, you made a fake rabbit that the grey rot cant corrode, well done. What\'s it gonna do next, explode with celestial energy? How predictable." Eden criticized brutally with no regard for The Showman\'s pride.
The Showman seemed amused. "That would be possible if I could actually create celestial energy friend. As it is, I will have to settle for clearing the grey rot with my own hands."
Eden glanced at The Showman with a skeptical look. "Your own hands? Clear the grey rot? With those scrawny arms that cant even truss a chicken?"
The Showman was speechless.
"Why don\'t you take a look and see for yourself then?" he said helplessly as he pointed to the grey rot.
Eden turned its eyes and its pupils constricted into needle points, for what was a an area covered by the grayish fog was now clear land with healthy grass going for a few meters.
What made Eden shocked was that it was the God Serpent of Illusions and Deception, so it could obliviously see through all illusions.
It could tell three things; firstly that The Showman did in fact throw an illusion generated rabbit forward, secondly that the young man had never moved from this spot and finally, the area before it was truly cleared of grey rot, not an illusion overlaid on the land.
The problem was that these three things did not constitute a valid reason for the grey rot to be cleared!
"What the heck! What did you do?!" Eden asked with shock, clearly not willing to believe that The Showman had achieved this normally.
The Showman smiled playfully as he checked his Divine Essence gains with a smile.
"Just a minor illusion, nothing to write home about."
.....
The Family.
This was the core member group assigned to handle the Western direction, facing the setting sun, for one\'s family shall be where one goes to lay their head after a long and tiring day.
This group was established by Dante Morningstar and contained everyone related directly to Draco, Eva and Shuangtian. They were the newest additions to the core member family in Boundless during the last ten years and had struggled to make sense of this video game world initially.
Well, minus Akihito, who was the original founder of Darkrow during the early days of MMOPRG gaming using keyboard and mouse, which Eva inhered during the burgeoning VR gaming era.
Of them, Dante, named himself Loving Father because all his other names were corny and rejected by Lilith and Fyre, could only adopt a similar naming style to the two sisters.
Over the past ten years, he had worked the hardest, managing the Morningstar Lineage through this period of turmoil as they moved their home base into the pocket space Draco created while inducting EVERYONE from the lineage into Boundless and into Umbra.
At the same time, he had been a very gentle and present grandpa for Draco\'s children, nothing at all like the gruff man he looked to be. Yet even with that, he was still a fearsome monster and powerhouse on the battlefield when the core members faced off against world bosses, decidedly taking up a semi-tank class to be the frontline defense for Umbra while dealing damage.
His choice also reflected in the law he chose once he ascended, which he put very careful thought into.
｢Name: Loving Father – True God
Level: The Law of Demonic Supremacy (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Demonic Supremacy - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This law is part of the supremacy series, being that of the demon race. The user of this law represents the peak of demonhood when they imbue it into themselves, and can enhance the power of demonic related skills, techniques and items when imbued into them.
Sources: King of Hell (Divine Class) + Demonic Divinity (Active Skill).｣
"Draco said no bloodline right? Interesting." Dante muttered as he patted his burly chest, grinning wide enough to show his canines.
He raised a leg that was coated in demonic energy and stomped the ground hard, using one of the more common peak level demon race skills.
｢Magnitude – Active Skill
Effect: Smash the ground with all your power, creating a terrible earthquake and creating a small canyon that leads into a pool of lava. This deals tremor damage, disintegration damage, or both, depending on how it is executed.
Duration: 15 minutes
Cooldown: 30 minutes or 0.0001 Divine Points.｣
BANG!
With a single stomp from Dante, a huge canyon was created in the Divine Realm that stretched for hundreds of meters in a straight line, akin to a fissure in the world. Similar to Keira\'s attempt, just opening a hole in the ground was not enough to deter the grey rot and barely had any effect.
However, this was not a skill about sheer force, but demonic might. From this canyon, a huge amount of demonic magma mixed with hellfire, different from Akainu\'s traditional magma, poured out and covered the area around the fissure.
Immediately, the grey rot began its futile struggle versus the magma, but even against Akainu, it could only take the L, much less against hellfire empowered magma which was like pouring hot water on a cube of ice.
Dante made no further moves, content to let this play out since it was more than enough to full his part of the obligation, rather opting to glance to the side to see how his beloved wife would handle it.
As for Lilith, she was doing just fine. Within Boundless, she had immediately taken the name \'Loving Mother\', deeply inspired by her sister and using this to prove her feelings to Draco.
Lilith was much different now after becoming a True God and had spent her years being the best grandma for her children as possible. She had thoroughly pampered Draco\'s children, even the ones with concubines, so much that each of them associated the term \'Grandma Lilith\' with \'happiness\' in their subconscious.
However, if you thought for one moment that this made Lilith soft, heh.
She was literally known among the Lineages as one of the \'Crazy Bitch\' duo, along with Fyre. The cruelty she could show to her enemies was the exact opposite of the love she showed to her family, and we\'d seen the love she could show to her family, so one could only wonder what kind of horror she would deal to her enemies.
