Chapter 167 Defying Logic

Damien floated above the hellish landscape below him, unbothered by their suffering.

"The nine wonders of Norland are not just baseless theories after all, but manifestations caused by Unique grade resources or artifacts. But even then, that will only transform a region into a pseudo-domain at most." He continued to speak to himself, his voice traveling throughout the entire domain.

"So, one might wonder, why was Helheim a domain? Not only it, even Niflheim is a domain as well." He added, waving his hand to instantly dorn the pure black [Death God Armament].

The reason why these two locations were pure domains, instead of pseudo-domains, was because they held two of sixteen of humanity's treasured resources.

The Eve Stones.

Godly treasures, that would be unearthed years into the future. Each Stronghold, aside from the Central Stronghold, had one of such. Some even having two of them.

Norland being one of them.

It had the Eve Stone of Death, that was the reason why this place had such high leveled undeads, and why they were still somewhat alive, even after dying.

As well as the Eve Stone of Water, that resides within the deepest crevices of Niflheim. It is the reason why the whole of Niflheim is as cold as the north poles. If not colder.

With these two godly resources, the two places were bound to become domains. Damien came here specifically for the two that were related to the law of Death here.

"With my potential, the [Death God Armament], the [Eve Stone of Death], and the [Demonic Rose Eye], which are all related to Death... I can definitely comprehend Death faster." He thought to himself self.

Normally, five years each percent are required to comprehend the first 10% of a law, then ten years per percent to comprehend the second 10%, twenty years, forty years, so on, and so forth, till completion.

But the higher one's potential was, the easier they would comprehend the law. "And with my potential and the effect of a Stage 2 Realm, I'm sure I can comprehend the next percentage within an hour. But if I were to rely on all of these..."

He thought, first glimpsing at the functions of his Godly grade armament. One that defied common sense.

[ Death God Armament ]

[ Godly. A godly divine armament made by the Flame Forger, out from the following materials; fragments of death, a pseudo-unique product, undead dragon's bone, ... ]

[ This is a divine armament unique to those who have killed far too many beings, without any remorse for the dead. It grants one authority over the Universal Principles of Death, Murder, and War, while exempting them from the Universal Principles of Life, Judgement, and Mercy. Not even those within the 5th League dare look down upon your existence. Death Gods are unrestrained by Life, yet are not dead, nobody can Judge the Murder that they commit. They frolick where there is War, and their sins do not warrant any Mercy. Grants complete immunity towards life and death from minor deities, and resistance to death caused by major deities ]

[ Has the following Unique Abilities; "Divinity of Death", "Traverser of Death" and "Undead Summon" ]

[ An ascendent achievement~ ]

Damien read through the definition of the armament once more, as it truly was beyond mortal comprehension.

Just the passive effects alone were terrifying.

Authority over the Principles of Death, Murder and War, meant that he could even bring death to beings of the 5th League. He could possibly murder such beings, or even cause a war between them.

Then exemption from Life, Judgement and Mercy, meant that he was not dead, but not considered living too.

In other words, he stood between life and death. If he chose to kill someone, not even the gods would judge his actions. They had no right to. But at the same time, if it ever came to it, he would be punished without mercy.

Nobody would feel the need to have mercy on him. But Damien didn't care. He did not expect himself to beg for mercy from anyone.

But even then, this was not the reason why he doned this artifact. The reason he did so, was because of one of its abilities.

[ Traverser of Death :- Increases comprehension of the Universal Law of Death by 25,000%, the comprehension of the Universal Principle of Death by 17,500%, and the Universal Rule of Death by 7,500%. And when using death related powers, the effects are increased by 200%, while the cost is decreased by 50% ]

"..."

Yes. This ability. Damien required this ability, which will increase his progress of comprehending death by two hundred and fifty times. "Meaning that I'll take eight seconds to reach 2% of the death law."

The feeling was uncomfortable, since the deathly essence continued to converge all around him in tides. Like a balloon receiving too much air. Far beyond its limits.

It's only fate... was to pop.

But just as Damien was about to be overwhelmed, the sensation immediately disappeared. And comprehension continued once more.

11%.

12%.

13%.

14%.

15%.

Ten seconds were almost up, the discomfort disappeared, and Damien sighed, as he felt like this truly wouldn't take longer than he expected.

Maybe reaching 100% comprehension for a law was easy?

He thought, when on average, it would take normal gods 50,000 years just to perfect a law. And he was shitting on all their efforts.

20%.

Twelve seconds went by.

25%.

Twenty seconds were gone.

40%.

A minute finally went by.

50%.

Over two minutes were gone.

70%.

Almost ten minutes were over.

90%.

Half an hour quickly transpired. And then, after sixty minutes of Damien absorbing deathly essence, the aura of death around him had reached an all time high.

99%.

He was close to reaching perfection.

A step he would easily reach by ranking up. As for now, even if he tried his best, nothing would happen. Not at all.

It was impos–

"No. Not this time." Damien trampled down his own thoughts, afraid that the mere mention of impossibility, would rile up his Bloodline to make it very possible.

But did he have the time? Not at all.

"Since I've still got time, let's go through the Universal Law of Void." He sighed, choosing to change subjects.

Averagely, it would take him a month to reach 4% without much effort. But if he truly put effort, he would take much less time.
