Guild Wars Chapter 1245– The Gap In Power

Chapter 1245: The Gap In Power

Despite everything, the darkness domain that Draco opened could only mostly limit the basic five senses. It could not remove telepathic communication or methods born of unique bonds or laws. Because of this, despite not being able to see their foe, none of the Origin Gods panicked as they quickly cross-checked with each other in order to try and regroup.

"Fuck! This bastard has messed up the spatial coordinates of this void!" Wrath roared with fury, swinging his axe futilely as he threw a tantrum.

The other Origin Gods soon comprehended what he meant when they tried to use their last known locations could with their mental communication to regroup. The entire space in this area was chaotic, making it such that moving forward was moving backward, moving up might take you down, and moving left was definitely not right.

Before any of them could decide on a countermeasure, they suddenly heard a grunt.

In another area of this battlefield, Draco appeared back in his human form and released a blow of fully condensed demonic energy that contained endless power, striking the back of a female Origin God who was one of the buffing types.

She was sent flying with blood spurting out of her mouth. While Origin Gods possessed both Origin Laws and Source Origins of the same grade, not all of them were equal battle-wise. Against those weaker, they naturally were the same regardless, a top-tier battle-related Divine Law True God would still die ten thousand times in the face of the sneeze from the Origin Goddess of Childbirth.

However, against a blow charged by an Eternal-related bloodline, even at 50% of max capacity, the nature of one's resilience came into play. Draco naturally would target those who were weaker and extinguish their life before dealing with the others.

"Huh? He's attacking Wonder!" Scimitar exclaimed as they realized what was going on.

"Hmph, enough! Dispel! Dispel this shitty domain for me!!" Wrath roared as he charged up a huge chunk of Origin Energy and waved his axe about, causing the darkness to disperse significantly.

Malice commanded coldly. "Everyone, you know his weakness. Get to it."

The other Origin Gods stopped playing it safe and expelled great amounts of energy and power, completely shattering the darkness domain while also forcibly restoring the nature of space.

The now-revealed Draco spat out blood again, his face cold but his mind having countless question marks. He was still not entirely grasping why he was shaving any difficulty whatsoever now.

Even if he was using 50% power, it was still fucking Eternal power!

Tilted Gods like Richmond and Muramasa had previously been able to beat Rank 7 fellows to death despite only having 1% of a True God's power. Even an Origin God with only 1% power could kill all the True Gods in the Divine Realm right now.

So why was he, a fucking Eternal, unable to kill bloody Origin Gods despite having almost half his full power available??

Scimitar did not strike with the others but seemed to be observing the situation and enjoying himself.

"Ahh, I can't help it. I want to see you realize it yourself and feel the despair, but you are so dense and blockheaded that I have to guide you anyway." He lamented before disappearing and appearing before Draco.

Draco simply punched out and clashed with the blade of Muramasa in Scimitar's hands, which caused a clash as his red Demonic Energy battled against the orange-colored Origin Energy. To Draco's shock, his demonic energy was slowly being overwhelmed in the clash, forcing him to use more power to make up the deficit.

Scimitar suddenly disengaged and leaped back, smiling at Draco. "Do you feel it now?"

Draco no longer cared about the battle or the situation outside, closing his eyes and dedicating the full force of Control, his stats, and his bloodline to speed up his mental faculties to process everything he knew and had experienced in this battle so far.

None of the Origin Gods took action, seemingly willing to witness the scene that Scimitar was seeking, a hint of interest and curiosity on their faces. Passion was even trying to drag Pride into another bet on the side, but the detached Origin Goddess would not fall for it.

Draco opened his eyes, a flash of slight understanding within. "Your energy and laws, they suppress and assimilate the attacks I send at you. How can this happen when they are Eternal level attacks?"

Scimitar snapped a finger. "Close enough, I'll take it. If you want to understand your failure to gain an advantage in this battle, there are two reasons."

"Firstly, and most importantly my friend, you are NOT an Eternal. You just have a bloodline that has power so great that it rivals the strongest Eternals." Scimitar revealed casually.

"You do not have an Eternal Law formed from the Seed of Law, nor do you have an Eternal Source Origin to produce Eternal Energy. What makes you think you're an Eternal? You are no different from a mortal being given an Eternal weapon."

Scimitar shook his head. "You have no grasp of this power, using it barbarically and crudely, making it even more clear that it is a bloodline power, and one that is poorly comprehended."

"The simple truth is that per our realm's power standard, you are merely a mortal with Rank 5 power. You are two whole major realms below me. The rank and level suppression you suffer cannot be put into words and numbers."

It was as if thunder struck Draco's mind, clearing the fog that existed. He knew this, he knew all of this already, having undergone training with Anubesetesh more than ten years ago to understand the basic nature of Eternals.

(AN: Re-read chapters 1099 and 1100 to fully understand the context here.)

Heck, Anubesetesh had explained this to Shuangtian at the time, but so much time had passed that Draco had forgotten. If he had spent the last ten years training his power, he would not have made this mistake but he rather spent it being a family man and raising his children right.

Due to the special nature of his existence and his various powers, none of his abilities had stagnated due to disuse, but he did become rusty in terms of technicalities like this one. Of course, if he could use his full bloodline power here, all of this would not be a problem.

After all, in the Eternal World, they could slaughter all manner of Eternals with ease due to their full power just being straight-up nonsensical.

But no, he was in Boundless.

Scimitar smiled and continued. "Secondly, your Eternal bloodline is quite… chaotic? There's no order or logic to it. It seems like a bunch of randomly smashed together racial abilities that had somehow merged together using some sort of basic framework."

"Because of this, you cannot stand against an Origin God with any of those abilities because none of them form a coherent system, or a law. Your darkness element ability just now was truly powerful beyond measure, but if the Origin God of Darkness were here, his element would overpower yours because it is more condensed and systematic." m_v-l'e-NovelFire

"And that is even the first step. The reason why I, despite not being the same Origin God of Darkness, can dispel your domain along with the others, is because you fail to understand the basic nature of Origin Energy and Origin Laws."

Scimitar waved his hand casually. "I won't even talk about the laws, that would take too long and detract from our mission. Rather, I will simply say that Origin Energy is the essence of Origin-related power. From Origin Energy comes the functionality of the whole universe, and with it is derived all the elements that exist in reality."

"Do you understand? Your darkness element, your space element, and even the almighty Destruction element are all subsets of Origin, born from Origin Energy. How the hell do you expect to clash with me using Demonic energy when I wield authentic Origin energy, the macro and source of your element?" Scimitar concluded with a strange smile.

Draco was left silent. Thinking it through, he did see what the problem was, and he should have realized this when dealing with True Gods. Even mere True Gods could negate their abilities like time reversal and the like from their bloodlines, even after reaching 100%.

This was because Divine Energy was a second tier of energy right below Origin and Aurora, with only Destruction and Creation as its peers. The third tier was Aether Energy, Space, Time, Abyssal, Celestial, etc.

Thinking about it, their bloodline abilities were not actually 'abilities'. Most of it right now was just taking raw energy provided from their near-infinite bloodline energy source generators, converting it using the bloodline tree to the necessary energy they wanted, and then manipulating it as they liked.

Like his punch just now. It was not a technique or ability, just a punch with Demonic Energy. This was Draco's default method of utility, because his bloodline branches on the tree had very few leaves that actually consisted of full abilities with their own preset code and requirements.

And even those leaves did not constitute Eternal abilities, moistly being Origin at best if anything. The reason why he, Eva, and Shuangtian were considered Eternals was taking into account the bloodline as a whole, especially in the future when it lost the 'Chaotic' tag and became completely unified.

"Is that all?" Draco asked calmly.

Seeing that Draco did not, in fact, despair or feel overwhelmed, Scimitar's casual smile faded significantly.

"Not all, there are some other reasons but they are minor. In the end, it changes nothing, as you are no match for us." Scimitar stated confrontationally, entering a battle stance.

Surprisingly, Draco nodded with a strange smile. "You are right. It changes nothing in the grand scheme of things because none of you can actually kill me unless I want to die. You will never get rid of me, and using what you have revealed today, I will practice and master my power, eventually returning to reap your lives."

The casual smiles on the faces of the various Origin Gods and Goddesses waned greatly, as Draco poked at something they had begun to notice during their small skirmishes just now. This was the fact that despite damaging him many times, even harming his equipment, he had actually not sustained any real damage.

It was possible to wound him and even one-shot him, but he never actually truly died. Not to mention that he was an Immortal Adventurer too, so they could only use True Death to completely extinguish his soul, but even his body was hard to destroy.

"Hmph! Arrogant words! You think you're invincible! I want to see how long you can last under our combined assault!" Wrath retorted angrily, raising his weapon and attacking.

The others followed again, this time Scimitar joining in with full force. In no time, Draco was in dire straits as he had to defend, heal, and counterattack as crazily as possible to fend off the onslaught, but he was quickly forced into an invincible state many times within a few minutes.

The worst part was that his invincible state which was to last ten minutes was rendered useless because the source of it, the Seal of Camelot, was merely a Divine Rank item. It did not need to be explained why the effect of something of the Divine Rank shattered at the slightest touch from a being wilding genuine Origin Rank power.

Without the buffer of invincibility, Draco was forced to focus on defense, unable to fight back much because he did not want his in-game body to die. After all, his respawn point was set to the Divine Umbra Pantheon, which would send him back to the Western Fantasy realm.

Putting aside the humiliation of being killed, it would be hard to infiltrate the void nexus again for a long time since he would not be able to use the War Maniac Pavilion's channels.

After all, the void was huge. He had no map and the only realm he had placed coordinates on, the Wizard Realm, had been destroyed. Who knew how far the nearest realm was from here and whether he could even penetrate its barrier to enter?
