Will of chaos

Chapter 774 Cap 772: Strength Level And Where To Go

We were taken to one of the Palace towers that was reserved for us, many Knights and soldiers are patrolling the entire Palace, not to mention the tower itself has several defenses, so it should be ok.

We're in the common room where I create a barrier with Vanessa's help to make sure we're not overheard by others as we decide what to do next.

Sigh

"I wanted so much to enjoy the city, but I guess I'll have to wait until next time." (I)

"Are you really going to listen to the King's request and get out of here?" (Ragnar)

"I think this is the first time you've made a prudent decision since I met you, master." (Sakura)

"I really want to visit the city, but I know our enemies are probably stronger than all of us, at least now." (I)

,m Vanessa and Ragnar explained to all power rating levels from the Lower Catastrophe Grade just now.

-------------

Basically, Dungeon people have an advantage until they reach Grade SSS because of my influence over them, but usually, the various growth barriers along the way make it very difficult for a person to keep getting stronger.

Diana had already explained to me about the growth barriers, she herself was suffering with one of these barriers to achieve a lower catastrophe degree strength.

Now that Diana is a Champion, she won't have any of those barriers like me, same goes for Vanessa being a Saint.

It seems that the people in my group have growth barriers that are easier to cross than usual, in addition to needing less levels to evolve, this is all an influence due to me being a child of a Goddess, growth barriers prevent me from acquiring EXP work or normal to evolve, but Barriers also prevent even skills from improving, many people are stuck in a barrier for life, something I will never experience by what they say.

So from Grade SSS, there are many levels of power rating, which are:

Lower catastrophe > Catastrophe > Upper catastrophe >

Lower Lord > Lord > Higher Lord >

Lesser King > King > Higher King >

Lesser Emperor > Emperor > Higher Emperor >

Lower Saint > Saint > Upper Saint >

Lesser Hero > Hero > Superior Hero >

Lower champion > Champion > Upper champion

Vanessa explains to me that from now on the power jumps for each Power Rank are extremely large and each Power Rank is divided into three which are lower medium, and higher.

She even says that the last three Ranks aren't even known to the people in general, only those truly at the top know the differences for that.

She said that I would be able to surpass all these Ranks before I even encountered a growth barrier because I have the potential to be a Demigod because I am a child of a Goddess.

But she and Diana encountered barriers to growth when Power Ranks arrived named after their true identities as Saint and Champion.

But even that is a huge advantage compared to everyone else who will have an incredible number of growth barriers to overcome.

But what shocked me the most was realizing the amount of people above all of us on this continent also seems likely to have more Power Grades Rankings above those, but I don't dare to think about it now, I don't even want to think about how long it will take time for me to reach those levels of power.

After discovering all this I started to understand why Vanessa never told me these things when we were still on the Morror Continent or the Dark Continent, it would be useless to find out these things before because there would not be a measure for comparison.

----------

"I was hoping to get to this continent before I thought better of what to do, it's not like I had any plans when I decided to come here." (I)

"I thought I'd talk to you about visiting my parents." (Diana)

Diana's parents are combat maniacs like their daughter, in fact, they trained their daughter and the other children to be Adventurers, her mother is even a High Priestess of the Wolf God Fenrir.

"We can visit them, it's been years since you've seen them, right?" (I)

"Yes, but I don't know where they are." (Diana)

"Let Elsaris and her family look for this information." (Vanessa)

"I was thinking of putting Lilian and Elsaris' kids out to get information." (I)

"I think we can save these things for later, we have more pressing problems to solve." (Nix)

"I thought the problem was solved, just follow the Royal Family's plan to get out of this Kingdom and outwit our pursuers." (Diana)

"I'm not talking about our pursuers, I've gotten used to that while I'm together with the master, we'll always be pursued by someone." (Nix)

"You make it sound like I'm someone everyone hates." (I)

"Everyone is a strong word, let's just say 60% of people hate you." (Sakura)

"I like you, you can be kind of stupid, bossy, and distracted, but I like you, master." (Layla)

"I like the master..." (Hinata)

Layla leaves it on top of my head and caresses one of my horns while Hinata hugged me with a completely expressionless face but bright eyes.

"If we consider that more than half of the people the master meets die, then I can understand what Sakura means." (Orion)

"You killed Kira's entire band of bandits and nearly killed her too when we found her in the Blood Forest." (Diana)

"We also killed all the Demons on the Morror Continent with the exception of Lilian." (Vanessa)

"There were circumstances for all of this, you guys make me look like a villain." (I)

"You look for people to kill, kidnap and rob in every town we go to." (Ragnar)

"I just take the garbage from each city and use it to earn something from it..." (I)

"Father, your life is full of situations with circumstances for your actions." (Vanessa)

"..." (I)

"(Why does everyone always have to be so hard on me?)" (I)

It always happens, everyone always blames poor Zenos for everything that happens.

"As I was saying before, I think we should solve our most urgent problem before thinking about anything else, for that I advise you to go to an Elf village that has a World Tree." (Nix)

"But what urgent problem are you talking about?" (I)
