Chapter 1117 Sheerpressure

?

"Greetings, True God Draco. Your arrival is timely because we need your help to resist the grey rot in Zone 4." Yusef politely greeted, which surprised the other four. 

Well, it wasn't like Yusef had ever done anything to make it seem like he was a narrow-minded and competitive person, but they felt that one's instincts should be triggered in such a situation. Then again, they glanced at the grey rot opposite them and almost seemed to understand. 

Even irreconcilable enemies would ally together in the face of a common enemy, much less strangers who could use each other's help. 

Draco seemed to understand this as well as he smiled knowingly. He glanced at the grey mist and had many thoughts pass through his mind before focusing on the resting True Gods once more. 

"So what's the deal? I need to bombard it with skills as much as possible until a monster comes then I kill it?" Draco inquired as he gestured to the grey mist. 

The True Gods seemed amused by this gross oversimplification, Yusef still spoke up to remind Draco. "Basically, yes. However, you must take care to monitor your Divine Energy usage, otherwise it's very possible to die at the hands of the monster that comes out." 

"Also, there's a reason why you were given those skills earlier. AOE attacks work best, so make sure to use your AOE Skills first and foremost to deal with the mist and your single target skills to deal with the monsters."  Barrado couldn't help but chip in. 

The other True Gods froze when they heard this. This was knowledge each and every one of them had to learn in the midst of fighting the grey rot, but it was given to Draco so early? Did Barrado really favor this young guy so much? 

They became curious as to why this was so and they couldn't help but glance at Draco to see how he would handle this. Barrado himself only said so because he too was curious as to how strong Draco was, because he caused those angels to suffer a loss when he first came. 

Barrado might look like a brute, and he knew he was a brute, but he was also observant. He knew that the leader of those angels was one of the squad captains under the Law Enforcement leader's wing. Such a person would definitely have a protective item with a Law up to the Advanced or Master grade depending on who gave it out. 

Yet Draco's attack could break that shield and cause the angels to nearly die. 

Barrado was a seasoned True God, so he understood how True Gods fought as well as the logic of True Gods more than those confused angels. It was completely possible for any True God to punch above their grade, though extremely rare. 

That was because True Gods could imbue their laws into things and enhance them. Using laws in the raw sense was extremely barbaric and unrefined unless that was the nature of the law itself. No one imbued the law into their bodies like how Draco did to fight against Kuiper. 

Rather, they did what seemed obvious. They would learn a skill related to their law then imbue the law into that skill and activate it. So Barrado for example, who had the Law of Violent Berserk, would not just throw the law onto himself and go gung-ho. 

After all, each second you use the law like that, you have to power it. Due to the power consumption, using it in a raw sense like that would naturally mean it was at peak performance all the time, but it was also - as stated - unwise. 

Rather when a law was imbued into a skill, the skill paid the price. If the skill was 3 hours, then the skill - buffed by the law - would also last 3 hours. It would take a one-time charge like how all skills did and work for the duration. 

However, the power of the law was limited to the power of the skill. If the skill increased stats by 30% in the berserk, with Barrado's Master Law, this would be multiplied by 30% since Master Law could only imbue up to 30% of their power at a single time. 

Naturally, when imbuing on oneself there is still the limitation of 30%, but the addition of constant fuel and your own prowess would yield almost 10 times more effectiveness. 

So to summarize; 

Pros of using skills: 

- Less energy cost 

- One time energy payment 

- More refined usage 

Cons of using skills: 

- Power is limited by skill 

- Effectiveness is limited by the skill 

- Skills have durations and cooldown 

Pros of using body: 

- Greater power boost 

- Much greater effectiveness 

- No duration and no cooldown as long as there is energy 

Cons of using body: 

- Great energy cost 

- Constant energy payment 

- Less refined usage 

With that in mind, Barrado could tell that Draco had supremely powerful skills. After all, it was either that his law was powerful or the methods he used to cast it was powerful. This could be equipment, his body, or his skills.  I think you should take a look at

Since Draco had definitely used a skill at that time, the answer lay in his skills. If one had powerful skills with huge modifiers, then even if they had a Basic Law, they could beat a True God with a Supreme Law to death who had skills with average or poor modifiers. 

Barrado said all this and hung around just to see how powerful Draco's skills were. 

While everyone was looking on, Draco rubbed his chin and pondered. He did have quite a few AOE attacks, but he did not want to use one of them because it might cause him endless trouble while here. 

Since he had the Law of Malevolent Darkness, he would use the AOE associated with it. After all, you didn't find it suspicious that this law was his first and main law? It wasn't because of his bloodline that he got that law, but a more obvious reason. 

?Active 1 – Sheerpressure: The moon abounds closer to the land, the waters go out of control. When in close proximity with the land, all entities will feel the geological and spatial pressure, as if they were 20,000 leagues under the sea. All enemies with a zone of your designation will either go through the effect of being submerged or being oppressed. Duration: Variable. Cooldown: Variable.? 

Draco raised a finger to the sky and the eyes of all the true gods here couldn't help but lift up. What they saw next haunted them for life. 

The sky of the resplendent and powerful Divine Realm actually cracked a revealed a boundless void that had many planets and an island in the void in the distance. The crack shook and focused on the special celestial beings, one giant planet far bigger than Jupiter could ever hope to be, a sun that was definitely larger than humans could fathom, and one moon that was about the size of Earth at least. 

From this scene, the moon shifted from where it hovered and began to rush toward the crack. Usually, a projection would come down, but the moon itself came out this time and then exploded with a huge mass of black light as the Law of Malevolent Darkness was wantonly infused into it. 

The moon eclipsed everyone's sight and likely even those back at the Supreme City could see it fall. Draco was shocked, because on the main plane, when a mere projection came down, it was a cataclysmic event but the effects were mostly aesthetic and visual. 

However, this time, Draco could literally feel the effects of what a planet colliding with another would be like from here. Immediately, the Five True Gods screamed while Barrado's face paled greatly. 

They all ran as fast as they could, and this wasn't just them. All the True gods in the various zones of the Withering Plains ran as fast as they could, not even caring about military orders or deployment. 

At this time, a blazing white light appeared in the sky and seemed to glance at the incoming moon which seemed about to swallow the world. The white light was simile to that of the angels, but was more resplendent and full of endless Law power. 

The white light seemed to glance at Draco and then at the moon. He heard a soft feminine harrumph, but there was nothing after that. The white light rushed to him and then took him away from the spot, all the way back to the fortress that he had been deployed from. 

The moment this occurred, there was a huge tremor that seemed to shake the entire Divine Realm. Even if one was airborne and not touching the ground, the tremors shook their existence and caused them to stumble. 

A huge cloud of dust rose from the direction of the Withering Plains and a powerful shockwave blew over from afar, visibly ripping everything in the way to shreds. 

The faces of the true gods here changed, especially those about to deploy and those who made it back. Immediately there was a powerful roar as True God Justicar rose into the sky. 

"Everyone, contribute your Law and Divine Energy! Hurry!" He commanded as he unleashed a powerful law barrier around the entire fortress. 

Not daring to disagree or cause trouble, every True God here poured the full extent of their law and Divine Energy into the barrier. Yet when the shockwave came over and struck the barrier, it cracked greatly and caused 80% of the True Gods below to scream in agony as they were crippled. 

The rest coughed huge amounts of blood and fainted, their life and death unknown. As for the elites like the True God with the white light or Justicar, their faces paled greatly and they seemed dispirited. 

It was even to the point where the white light dissipated and revealed the person within. 

Meanwhile, the barrier had withstood the initial shockwave and held on, preventing the Non-True Gods deployed here from dying. However, anyone not in here and out there was definitely thoroughly and irrefutably dead. 

However, Draco didn't care about this as he was stunned by the True God who had formerly been covered by the white light. He had felt that her voice was familiar, but was truly stunned when he saw who it was. 

?Name: Gabriel – True God 

Level: Law of Holy Light (Supreme) 

Divine Energy: 3%/100%.? 

It was Eva! 

Or an Eva look-alike who had about 90% of Eva's looks. The only difference was that she was taller than Eva and had golden hair instead of green hair. However the hairstyle was the exact same, neck-length hair that was slightly wavy. 

Even their eyes were the same now, a golden color. Eva's used to be black and consuming with a swirl within, like the current Happy Scholar, but hers were now pure golden and shone with divine might due to the fixing of her bloodline back then. 

Their faces were roughly the same and she even had Eva's blood-red lips that looked succulent to taste. She also wore the same cold and lofty expression as if everyone in the world was her dog, just like Riveting Night. 

Same creamy and unblemished skin and even the same flat stomach and lithe body. The only difference was that this chick had a huge rack, much bigger than Eva. Her backside was quite amazing too, but barely surpassed the current Eva. 

It had the perfect shape but not much in size. Coupled with the fact that she wore tight-fitting white robes that were outlined with golden lines, it enhanced her visual form. 

It turned out that not only Draco was staring, but every other True God in the area, regardless of male or female. 

After all, everyone knew that apart from the Goddess of Beauty Aphrodite, who was the most beautiful and sensual woman in the realm, there was only one other who could hold a candle to her! 

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Supreme Pantheon and Queen of the Angels, Gabriel!
