Chapter 636 Power
Loewe knew long ago that the key to power was hidden in his domain.
Or rather, power is not something that is suddenly bestowed.
Using the core of the Storm Temple makes one more adept at using spells in the storm domain, while using the core of the War Temple makes one more adept at using skills in the war domain. This is only natural. By continuously growing in the corresponding domain and developing the core to a certain strength, one can naturally cross the threshold and gain the power of authority.
Attana gained the power of the hunting domain by constantly hunting giant beasts that threatened the orcs in ancient times.
Marcus killed countless people in the Hooffire Empire, thus gaining the power of bloodlust;
Urs was born with the special ability to banish, but he also made this ability shine through his continuous use and study, becoming the banishing demon god.
Powers often represent a deity's distinctive characteristics or iconic behaviors.
Few people know that the strongest war god among the gods behind Goodman existed in the world of the present gods as the god of hunters before the divine war that began 1,200 years ago.
And Minoni.
Loewe once thought that Minoni's abilities were related to space, after all, he could tear open the outer space and use the power and matter there to create a sword.
Lo Wei once thought that Minoni's ability was related to time, since both she and Minoni could make plants grow instantly, and Minoni did so because she understood the growth patterns of plants.
But actually, probably none of those are true.
And to be precise, it's not "not," but "no."
His domain can open up projections of the outer realms, and Minoni can leave behind a pure white divine realm with just a glance at this world. He has connected to the outer realms with the cracks on his sword and can also access items from them through ripples. In his eyes, there is nothing there, yet it is filled with an incredible, pure power. There is no usual way to get there, but it has the unique concept of "existence".
Just as the food he put in will not spoil no matter how long it takes, it is his act of putting it in that creates the space, not that the concept of space originally existed there.
Minoni had told him that his very existence was a price to pay, and that he had to erase his own existence in order to ascend to become her god.
This gave Rowe the feeling that Minoni was more like an Outer God.
In her death battle with four first-level gods, regardless of whether she held back, it proved that she was capable of perishing. Under the laws of the same level as first-level gods, she was not an immortal being.
In other words, the land outside the boundary is actually similar to the first or second continent in some respects.
But there was no time, no space.
In the only world beyond the boundary, nothing else evolved except for her, this one god.
Born from the boundless darkness, she was the only pure white. There, she was both the creator and the one who gave birth, a being with two completely opposite aspects, and so pure that she was without any impurities. Luo Wei would always remember the feeling of being as insignificant as dust in front of her, and her transcendent divinity that was completely isolated from the world.
Thinking of her ethereal and clear voice, singing human songs like a narrative poem, yet she herself had nothing to do with the songs.
Thinking about her exploration of patterns of human communication, skipping the steps involved, and questioning those processes that are irrelevant to the conclusion.
Luo Wei's current level is less than one ten-thousandth of hers, but he knows very well that he should use the power he has to find the answer—
This is the power he wields.
It is a destruction that acts on the essence, whether it be life, matter, or concept; it can both cause it to perish and endow existence with its essence, returning it to its origin.
Therefore, he can both destroy Anai Ning's sword skills in battle, rendering them unable to pose a threat to him, and also restore them to their original state, restoring the tables and chairs to their original state.
But not all.
He cannot destroy or imbue something that does not exist; he cannot conjure a set of tables and chairs out of thin air unless they were already there and their existence has been erased.
He cannot restore human emotions. Even if he were to resurrect the dead, they would most likely just become soulless, pitch-black puppets.
There is a mutual repulsion between powers. Even if he wanted to destroy the entire concept of the world storm, the power of the Storm God could suppress him directly. Minoni might be able to do it, but there is an inherent conflict between powers. Minoni would not be able to achieve it so easily, and the Storm God would not let her succeed. He could even bring a new storm after she destroys everything.
Looking at it this way, the Earth Goddess is really tolerant, allowing so much power to wreak havoc on the land... No wonder she is the wife of the current god-king, the Yellow Sun God.
Conversely, the power of concepts is also difficult to deal with Minoni. She does not have the concept of time and space and is not affected by such definitions. Even a god as weak as her was pulled into the Realm of the Capital by a third-level god using the Divine Gem and escaped in just half an hour.
Luo Wei originally thought that his ridiculously high resistance in this area was because of Minoni, a first-level god, so he could even directly touch Jasmine's body. But now it seems that apart from her divine rank, she is not bound by this kind of thing. On the contrary, direct powers like war and fire might be more likely to hurt her. Including the "stealing" of "The Fool Who Steals Things," if they were both first-level gods, external things would be easy to steal, but stealing her powers would probably be difficult.
But if Urs is a first-level god...
Well, I banished your destruction, I destroyed your banishment. No wonder even Celis said he was troublesome. But there is no doubt that Lovi knows very little about Minoni. He only found this branch based on the general outline of her divinity. If the real Minoni fought with Urs, who had been promoted to a first-level god, she would definitely not be as weak as him.
"Hoo..." Luo Wei slowly restrained the expansion of his divinity, allowing the influence of his divine power to subside very gradually, so as to avoid any accidents during the process.
There is no doubt that this is difficult.
Since mastering the power of the domain in the capital, he has delved as deeply into it as possible. Now, he's not testing its strength, but learning how to control and restrain it, gradually adapting to its mastery—otherwise, if such power can't even distinguish friend from foe, it's better not to use it. Just because Anai Ning and Ayining outside the door, who possesses his divine power, can withstand it doesn't mean others can.
Fortunately, this wasn't the first time he had developed a divine core.
The so-called development of a divine core, in essence, is nothing more than gradually unleashing the power inherent in the divine core itself, growing in terms of strength, magic, and divinity. For a divine core like Ryan's, the possibilities expand along with his own experiences. But for Luo Wei, Minoni's divine core is a power he cannot control, a power so strong that it completely transcends dimensions. The fastest way to progress is to constantly adapt, gradually loosen the restrictions, and always keep himself in a critical state to maintain growth. Having experienced the previous round, he knows very well what to do.
Of course, this is easier said than done, and often remains only in theory. The power that a god can wield is limited, and if it cannot be controlled, it will backfire. The divine core is actually an inescapable curse for humanity.
But he is him, and others are others.
If anyone knew that he was developing the Divine Core in such a haphazard way by removing restrictions, they would probably think he was crazy and wanted to commit suicide, and that he was self-destructing at any time. In the past, there have been cases where he developed too aggressively and his magic power could not keep up. It can only be said that it is difficult for people who have not experienced it to deeply understand how to find a balance in this state. He suffered losses the first time and took the detours. Naturally, he became more skilled the second time.
Others: Breakthrough in the face of battle! Through my relentless comprehension and growth, the resonance between the divine core and me has become even stronger!
Luo Wei: Reached the critical point? Breakthrough. Reached the critical point? Breakthrough.
From another person's perspective: He got stronger? He's committing suicide! He got stronger? He's committing suicide!
Of course, he wasn't entirely fearless. The consequences of his previous lack of magic power and the burden of wielding the sword were what he had been waiting for. However, he had the power left by Minoni to back him up. If he couldn't hold on any longer, he would immediately enter goddess form. It was essentially a limiter set up to prevent him from unleashing his full power. Originally, this was just an insurance policy to prevent him from being too weak and being instantly devoured by the power of the demon god when he advanced. However, it could also be used as a guarantee during the development of the divine core.
Hmm... the experience from the last round still worked. It didn't come to that point, otherwise he would have been one gender when he entered the cabin and another gender when he left.
No one else has a god in person to guide them. Whether it's a second-level god or a first-level god, most of the time humans obtain a god core by chance or accident. Those who don't die on the spot are already outstanding.
So Lo Wei thinks highly of Nunu Ni.
Her old father was truly a genius for managing to swindle a divine core from the "Fool Who Steals Things." Being hunted down by a god's body that had lost its divine core was a kind of reward. She didn't even want to think about the consequences if she were hunted down by Minoni's body. Being chased all over the continent like a stray dog would be considered lucky for him.
However, they probably don't understand why someone would dare to ask a first-level god for a divine core, and the other party even agreed.
This also reflects his determination to improve himself as quickly as possible so as not to let Minoni down.
Thinking of this, he picked up an apple that had fallen on the ground, infused it with divine power to destroy it, and then restored it to its original state, making it reappear in his hand. Its color became the same as the table, so black that it was pure and without any impurities.
He caught it in his hand and tossed it around. Luo Wei put it in his mouth and took a bite. The flesh and juice were black, with no other color. It tasted exactly like an apple, even better than a regular apple.
To some extent, he cannot become a formal third-level god.
Those who obtain a level three god core will naturally have the ability to advance to a formal level three god as the core develops, and then strive to break through to the level two god.
But for Luo Wei, he could say that the strength of his divine power reached the level of a third-tier god during his growth, equivalent to a third-tier god, but he could never officially ascend to the level of a third-tier god.
Because he has always been a first-class god.
The same applies to second-level gods. Their growth will reach the level of a second-level god, but they will never become a formal second-level god. They can only be considered evil gods or false gods. If they were to formally ascend to godhood, they would only be first-level gods.
It has both advantages and disadvantages.
He had growth potential far exceeding that of other gods from the very beginning, but unlike them, he didn't experience a sudden qualitative leap after breaking through to godhood, where he could instantly upgrade his rank in battle and easily defeat his opponents. The divine cores of first-level gods, including second-level gods, were not originally intended for humans, so in a sense, he was already outside the combat power system.
Oh no, now he really is an evil god...
He has long since passed the peak of a third-level god, but he is still a bit short of being able to fight a second-level god like Chaham in a one-on-one battle. Hopefully, the power of authority can bring him more possibilities.
At least.
Because Minoni is an extraterrestrial demon, and he is the only god who inherited her power, in this matter, he is the only one in the entire world who can mobilize the power of the extraterrestrial.
Since no one could take away his power, and there was no precedent other than Minoni to draw upon, his powers were so different from the universally recognized "storm," "war," and "fate." The dual nature of his powers left Loew unsure of what to call them, and he could only use inaccurate and common terms like "damage" and "return" to refer to them.
Otherwise, shouting "I will give you the essence of re-existence" during battle would be too foolish; he was more inclined to apply this to swordsmanship.
"..."
Thinking of this, he placed the leftover black fruit pit on the table and bent down to pick up the plates, tablecloths, candlesticks, and other items that had fallen to the ground.
