Chapter 461 - 276: The Road Ahead and Mjolnir?

Boom!

The forces of two domains collided suddenly, revealing a completely different scene from before.

Flames swept, ice spread, and a large amount of cold air was evaporated, but denser cold air spread all around, surprisingly resisting Count Engel’s Flame Domain at this moment.

Even though Count Engel’s Domain Prototype was just formed and couldn’t compare with the Red Dragon Duke’s domain, it was a real domain after all, completely different from Thor’s Pseudo Domain. Theoretically, no matter how powerful a Pseudo Domain was, it would be instantly crushed by the force of a Domain Prototype.

After all, a Pseudo Domain merely affects the surroundings, while a domain constructs its own space, and the nature of both is simply not on the same level.

Yet, it held on at this moment.

Of course, this wasn’t because Thor’s Pseudo-Domain Power had the power of a real domain.

Instead, at this moment, the cold air and snowflakes he spread were constantly growing, directly resisting the expansion of the domain.

This resistance consumed tremendous energy.

The Law Mark on Thor’s brow shone even brighter, while the Life Source Power within him was consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thirty breaths!"

He murmured softly and shook his head.

Even though the power of the Pseudo Domain further strengthened, it was still just a Pseudo Domain, unable to truly compete with a Domain Prototype.

Even when merely facing Count Engel’s newly formed Domain Prototype, Thor felt he could hold on for a maximum of thirty breaths, and during these thirty breaths, his consumption would be extremely large.

It’s imaginable, if facing other Half-Step Sanctuary beings.

Especially the Red Dragon Duke earlier.

Even if he wasn’t instantly crushed like before.

He might only be able to hold for less than twenty breaths.

Possibly only needing ten breaths before his Pseudo Domain would collapse.

However, this was already enough.

This meant he truly possessed the combat ability to intervene in Half-Step Sanctuary battles.

Even if only for a brief ten breaths, this also signified a fundamental change.

"Buzz!"

The Law Mark dimmed, a ripple spreading out.

The Pseudo-Domain Power that had risen suddenly dispersed completely.

Count Engel’s Flame Domain swept through the surroundings, engulfing Thor as well.

However, the sweeping flames did not cause harm but filled with a faint vitality, and the massive consumption on Thor’s body rapidly recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The flames gradually dissipated.

Count Engel’s figure emerged.

"Not bad, such power is probably enough to deal with a significant part of Sky Knight Peak."

"Is this the fusion of Death Law, Ice Law, and Snow Law?"

Count Engel couldn’t help but exclaim, looking at Thor with admiration.

Just a moment ago, even he felt threatened. If he hadn’t reacted fast enough, if more snowflakes had fallen, even as a Half-Step Sanctuary, a large part of his vitality might have been drained.

If facing just a Sky Knight Peak.

The outcome almost goes without saying.

"Still a bit short."

"What a pity!"

Thor shook his head, a trace of helplessness in his expression.

He thought that with the Death Law, enhanced by the Ice Law and Snow Law, and employing some ideas from his past life, the Pseudo-Domain attack should pose some threat to a Half-Step Sanctuary. But clearly, he overestimated it.

The reaction and coping abilities of the Half-Step Sanctuary were stronger than he imagined.

The previous Red Dragon Duke, if not severely injured, even with the same situation, would likely not be killed again.

"Thor, you’re too strict, this is already enough."

"You only need to continue enhancing your strength, reaching Sky Knight Peak should naturally allow you to condense a domain, by then such power will probably make you unbeatable under the Holy Sanctuary."

Count Engel shook his head, speaking seriously.

"I understand, Father!"

"But even now, with such strength, I still feel it’s not enough!"

Thor smiled bitterly, understanding his father’s words.

But this series of experiences still made him feel that his strength was far from enough.

It was better before.

But since the Divine Revelation began, the circles he’s been involved in have risen higher and higher.

His perspective was no longer what it once was.

Back when he first left the Dressrosa Family and received daily intelligence, his biggest goal was to break through to Earth Knight. If he could reach Sky Knight, that was a great aspiration, anything beyond that, he hadn’t considered or thought about.

But in the Divine Revelation.

He not only witnessed the descent of the Holy Sanctuary and the emergence of the Divine Revelation.

The appearance of the Divine Domain, as well as the Behemoth King and Tier Seven Beastman.

Even in the current Kingdom War, Sky Knights almost play no major role, only Half-Step Sanctuary, or those infinitely close to the Sanctuary, have enough voice and power.

His mentality had changed amidst all these events.

Listening to Thor’s words, Count Engel couldn’t help but fall silent.

He naturally understood the meaning in Thor’s words.

All these encounters came too early for Thor.

Thor wasn’t originally going to participate in these; even experiencing the Kingdom War, at this point, logically, he should still be struggling to survive in this Exotic World, or muddling at the bottom of the Kingdom War.
