Chapter 506 Hope

Chapter 506 Hope

As soon as Mortrex spoke, from within the cocoon of blue light, a white light suddenly ignited, blinding in its radiance.

With the force of a rocket, it suddenly burst upwards through the cocoon of light, engulfing and encompassing it in the next second.

"After the entrapped Grandmaster has unleashed his own domain, then another battle would begin. During this process, there can only be three outcomes."

The unfolding display suddenly split into three identical parts.

"One, the newly formed domain overpowers the opponent's, thereby freeing him or her and destroying their opponent's."

One of the split parts suddenly mirrored Mortrex's words, the newly formed cocoon overpowering the initial one.

Its form suddenly went supernova, and a large wave rocked the area, spreading out in every direction. In the next second, the first domain turned into motes of light, followed by its maker.

Mortrex continued, "Two, it is of lower strength and immediately gets overpowered."

The second split part mirrored the first, but instead, it was the newly formed domain that met its end. Its form went supernova, and its owner immediately perished.

"And lastly, they have equal power and thus face a stalemate."

The last split part acted accordingly, the cocoon suddenly taking on two colors that kept clashing in the middle with neither side giving in.

"When this happens, both Grandmasters would have to resort to using their domains and powers to do battle."

Atticus absorbed everything at a rapid pace, a question suddenly popping up in his head. He didn't waste time and asked immediately,

"How do you quantify the power of a domain? I mean, are there ranks or some level of measurement that could tell us how powerful a particular Grandmaster's domain is?"

From the little he had known about Atticus, he knew that the boy wasn't the type to ask questions that weren't directly relevant to him.

If Atticus was asking this, then it was because he believed that he didn't have to reach the Master+ rank before he could create a domain.

It was insane.

Mortrex's battle instinct couldn't help but ignite.

Mortrex reeled it in and responded, "Technically, yes, you can. But it has never been done. The amount of energy, intelligence, and perception needed could only be achieved at the Master+ rank, and the time needed to reach the level of understanding of your bloodline for the formation of a domain is immense. However, if you meet these criteria, then nothing is stopping you from achieving it."

Atticus nodded once more. He turned his gaze upwards and took a deep breath. 'I have to start working towards this from now.'

After a few seconds, Atticus brought his gaze back down and focused on Mortrex standing a few meters away from him, not uttering a word.

As though recognizing the moment, Mortrex lowered his hand, and instantaneously the Bone Desert became completely and utterly silent, the climate changing to a mixture of night and day with the perfect temperature and light.

"Why did I do all of this?"

It was Mortrex who spoke first, looking directly at Atticus.

Seeing Atticus nodding his head, he continued,

"It's exactly as I said earlier. 'I hope you will remember this favor in the future when you stand at the top.'"

Atticus understood what he said well, but he still wanted to hear it directly from his mouth.

"You're incredibly talented, boy, so talented I have no doubt you will stand at the top. Even if not in the whole planet, at the top of the humans wouldn't be a problem."

Mortrex's voice suddenly changed, becoming somewhat more humble. "My only hope is that when that time comes, you treat the people of the bone race as living beings and not things."
