NOVEL NEXT Chapter526-Ruin of the Gods
Of course, right now, Daniel was still far from being able to synthesize the God Rank Skill "Mind Traverse." However, he had a feeling deep down that if he wanted to return home, perhaps his hope would lie in this very skill.
Once again, Daniel used Time Stream, returning to the Illusion Earth. This time, however, Daniel did not take any action. Without realizing it, the night had already fallen.
He returned to his room and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Though he knew full well that all of this was nothing but an illusion, for Daniel, it still provided a brief respite to his lonely heart.
He couldn't help but wonder what the Earth he knew looked like now, after everything that had happened.
With a soft sigh, Daniel suddenly tapped into his mind power, beginning to record every minute detail of Earth. At the same time, in his spiritual world, a planet that was identical to Earth began to take shape.
Although this Earth was silent and lifeless, for Daniel, it became a precious memento.
After doing all of this, Daniel's gaze pierced through the walls of his room and fell upon his parents, who were fast asleep.
In his heart, he had never found the courage to truly say goodbye. Even now, Daniel wasn't sure if he would have the strength to leave when he saw them again.
Even though he clearly understood that everything here was an illusion, the warmth and comfort of this place made it impossible for him to let go.
Perhaps, for Daniel, he had finally understood why some people chose to drown themselves in endless dreams. Maybe, drowning in dreams was simply a form of unwillingness to part with the past.
Despite knowing that leaving a letter had no real meaning—since once he left, this illusion would crumble—Daniel still felt the need to write a letter for his parents.
This time, he didn't use any skills but quietly sat at the desk. He took up a long-unused carbon pen and began writing on a piece of lined paper the words he wished to say.
Writing the letters took much longer than he had anticipated. But Daniel wasn't impatient at all. It was as if he was entirely immersed in the act of writing.
Before he knew it, the sky outside began to lighten. Daniel placed the two letters into envelopes, then raised his gaze to the crystal-clear window. There, he saw the sun slowly rising on the horizon.
"It's time to leave," Daniel muttered softly.
He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything had changed.
He was back in the City of Luck.
At the same time, a powerful and overwhelming aura emanated from him!
[Daniel]
[Level: 500]
[Divinity: Infinite]
[Tier: Fake God]
Daniel had finally completed the ultimate trial, and his tier had reached the Fake God level.
At the same time, a prompt appeared before his eyes once again.
[The Infinite Gods' Divine Temple has been opened!]
[Congratulations on acquiring the Ultimate Domain Skill: Ruin of the Gods!]
Although Daniel wasn't sure how powerful this so-called ultimate skill was, he had a faint feeling that it was a skill unique to his domain. In a sense, its existence was like his greatest trump card.
By now, having reached the Fake God tier, Daniel had already gained a deep understanding of divinity, domain powers, and God Rank Skills.
If domain skills were compared to a gun, then different God Rank Skills could be seen as different types of bullets.
Some bullets have immense destructive power, others have high penetrating ability, some can deal area damage, and some can even restore health.
The quality of the gun directly determines the effectiveness of the bullets.
For Daniel, the greatest value of Ruin of the Gods was that it enhanced his usage of God Rank Skills.
Of course, the theory behind this was much more complex than what Daniel had just stated.
What Ruin of the Gods brought was not just an amplification of God Rank Skills; it could even destroy an opponent's God Rank Skill, dealing widespread damage.
[Ultimate Domain Skill: Ruin of the Gods]
[Effect: Shatter a God Rank Skill, causing significant damage to the target's divinity. When the divinity is damaged to a certain extent, it will temporarily seal the target's divinity.]
After reading this description, Daniel was momentarily stunned.
Because, when he thought about it carefully, this was actually the first skill he possessed that could damage another god's divinity.
In Daniel's previous understanding, divinity was like a god's manipulation of the rules. Normally, the rules could not be broken.
However, the reality was that his ultimate skill could completely break the rules.
In other words, Daniel could use Ruin of the Gods to destroy another god's authority.
Whether it was Aurelia's Gold and Silver Domain, Mist's Mist Enshrouded Domain, or any other such abilities, the old Daniel would have had no way to counter a god's authority.
But now, for the first time, he had the ability to fight back.
It wasn't until Daniel truly reached the Fake God level that he understood just how powerful the Fleshheart had been.
After enduring a god's attack, it still maintained a vibrant life force.
Later, it was only after Daniel and the entire human race joined forces that they managed to destroy the Fleshheart. The key to their success was that Aurelia's attack had shattered Fleshheart's domain.
If Fleshheart had maintained its domain at that time, even if Daniel had a thousand times more awakened human warriors, they would still have been unable to defeat it!
In addition to this, Daniel's domain had gained a new power.
Now, within the coverage of his domain, in addition to Daniel himself being able to continuously use God Rank Skills, he could also grant others in the domain the ability to use God Rank Skills.
In other words, whereas Daniel had previously been limited to using God Rank Skills only on his own during battle, now, after reaching Fake God level, his devotees—including human awakened beings—could also use God Rank Skills within his domain!
Incredible, simply incredible!
At this moment, Daniel even felt his heartbeat quicken with excitement.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
With the return of his rationality, Daniel finally understood the limitations of his existence.
The first limitation was his level.
If the human race couldn't continue to advance, his own level would be capped at level 500.
At that point, his tier would also be locked.
If Daniel wanted to keep advancing, he had only two choices:
Either break away from his race, or elevate the entire race to the next level!
