The set equipment was not bad. It was basic stuff, totally geared to deal with the problem at hand which was the Grey Rot, so it was the best thing the Supreme Pantheon could give out to True Gods aiming to fight against it. 

Its best attribute was definitely the ability to fuse with your already equipped armor or weapon. Draco had been wondering how they would get around that when he first heard that they would be supplying him with things. 

Now that he had seen their method, he had some respect for it. There were similar creations on the Main Plane, so the idea was not , but the execution was very proper. 

Since there was neither loss nor cost, Draco decided to activate the equipment and meld it with his Dragorugio set so that he could enjoy the anti-Grey Rot benefits. Despite his Divine set being potent, he was not 100% certain that it alone would stop the Grey Rot from corrupting it, and more importantly himself. 

After doing so, he checked the three skill books. 

「Element Regulation – Passive Skill (True Gods only) 

Rank: Divine 

Effect: Control the four basic elements of the world at will. 

Note: Max Water, Earth, Fire, and Wind Mastery required. (Waived)」 

「Advanced Element Regulation – Passive Skill (True Gods only) 

Rank: Divine 

Effect: Control the advanced elements of the world at will. 

Note: Max Poison, Light, Darkness, Lightning, Wood, Magma, Explosion, and Sound Mastery required. (Waived)」 

「Spacetime Regulation – Passive Skill (True Gods only) 

Rank: Divine 

Effect: Control the elements of Time and Space. 

Note: Max Time and Space Mastery required. (Waived)」 

Draco frowned. These skills would make any player drool, even if they freshly became a True God. After all, the best players would ascend with Rare classes at best, which would have skills that dealt a maximum of 200% damage.

To gain the ability to passively control elements would allow them to change their entire playstyle and become supremely versatile. They would also be able to do many things and combinations they could only have dreamed of before. 

However, for Draco who had the far better Subjective Magic, it was a waste. It would not synergize with his Subjective Magic, much less enhance it, rather conflicting and interfering with its functionality. 

He could only sigh and put it away in his inventory. He would either gift it to others or just fuse it using his Skill Fusion Tradeskill when he reached the higher levels of it. 

Draco then checked the three potions that were given him. The first was translucent white, the second was golden and the third was a sparkling emerald color. 

「Creator's Kiss – Consumable 

Rank: Divine (100% effectiveness) 

Effect: Restore 100% Health, Mana, Stamina, Focus, Lifespan, Divine Energy, and all organic energies as well as cure all curses. Increase Health, Mana, Stamina, Focus, Lifespan, Divine Energy and all organic energy regeneration by 100% for 7 days.」 

「Grey Rot Bane – Consumable 

Rank: Divine (100% effectiveness) 

Effect: Destroys any entity or emission classified as an invasion from the Grey Rot without harming the host. It also heals any damage from such an invasion. 

Note: Can only be consumed once.」 

「Divine Incrementation – Consumable 

Rank: Divine (100% effectiveness) 

Effect: Lock your Divine Energy quota for 1 hour, allowing you to freely use any skill or spell requiring its power for the duration. Permanently increase your Divine Energy cap by 10%. 

Note: Any consumption after the first will no longer increase your Divine Energy cap.」 

Draco marveled. These potions were pretty good and showed the expertise of the Divine Realm fully. They did not have any lapses in knowledge or have their inheritance cut like the Main Plane so they had a wealth of recipes and ingredients to use. 

He was sure it took countless years and so much trial and error that a normal person would break down weeping to research these potions alone. This was the difficulty of being a pioneer. 

Not everyone could be like Draco who had so many Titles and skills that forcefully raised his success rate, and also had equipment that allowed him to turn lower grade ingredients upwards for free. 

Everyone else had to mix their knowledge with many times of trial and error before getting it right. Heck, even True Gods of a certain Tradeskill did not dare claim to have a 100% success rate. 

Draco pocketed them and planned to research them later to see if he could replicate them, or if not, he could try and see if he could buy the recipe. However, that was for later as he was taken through another smaller portal by Barrado. 

Draco sensed that he traveled a much shorter distance than before, and entered a large plains area that had a sun in the sky and a blue sky but… the entire area was dreary and dull, with greyish mist lingering a few inches off the ground. 

"Be careful of that mist, that is the most diluted form of the Grey Rot. Since this are had been purified and cleansed through battle and our efforts to maintain the frontline, its corruptive effects are next to nothing, but it still exists." Barrado warned as he pointed to the greyish mist. 

Draco took note with a serious expression. His bloodline gave off a slight warning, informing him that this grey mist was difficult to deal with. Eva especially had a strong reaction as her Abyssal Queen branch told her that this grey mist was very similar to one of the most ancient primordial terrors of the Abyss, one so terrible that even she, the Abyss Queen, had to greet it with respect.  I think you should take a look at

Even thinking its name without permission was dangerous and would invite the Grey Rot corruption to dive upon you regardless of wherever you were. Eva was almost 100% certain that the Grey Rot appeared in the Divine Realm because some random idiot ended up mentioning or thinking of its name and caused the descent of its fur. 

That's right, the entire Grey Rot, this corruptive entity that caused True Gods to be virtually next to crippled, was just the loose fur of the primordial terror in question. 

Just what kind of being could be so horrifying?! 

Draco exchanged thoughts with Eva and Shuangtian furiously while Barrado led him to a marked section of the area that had a banner in the sky which read 'Zone 4'. When they entered the area, Draco saw a group of 5 True Gods with various Laws releasing skills and spells into a mass of grey mist that reached the height of a human male. 

Occasionally, a roar would erupt from the grey mist and a strange being similar to a beast with the body as well as outline of one but only blazing red eyes would charge out with the intention to kill. The moment it came out, the True Gods would retreat with fear and bombard it to death slowly. 

After that, they would gather and rest while watching each other's backs before continuing the cycle. 

Barrado stopped here and glanced at the fighting True Gods with a hint of fatigue in his eyes. "Well, this is it, your designation. As you can see, our 'fight' against the Grey Rot isn't much of one. By using Laws and Divine Energy to strike the mist, we can reduce its concentration slowly until it recedes and reclaim lost ground for ourselves." 

"Unfortunately, the Grey Rot is a semi-sentient entity so it's naturally unwilling to allow us to beat it back freely. As such, it would eventually condense defenders made out of the forms of the various beings it has corrupted in the past, like beasts or other True Gods." Barrado continued. 

"There are no benefits to be gained by fighting the Grey Rot except survival and you probably get far familiar with your Law faster. Don't expect to gain any riches from this work and just focus on doing your part like the others." Barrado warned seriously. 

Draco acknowledged this and then walked towards the resting group of True Gods. Barrado frowned and folded his arms, but decided to watch Draco's work to see how he planned to handle things. 

"Ho there, fellows! I'm a newly deployed True God to assist you guys in Zone 4." Draco greeted amiably as he walked over. 

The True Gods had noticed him and Barrado coming over but they did not know he was coming to their section nor did they think it was a new deployment, their expression showed joy as they quickly sized up Draco from head to toe. 

When they saw that Draco was young with an Intermediate Law offensive law, their expression changed slightly. After all, among them, only their nominal leader had an Intermediate Law and now another one had come. 

Draco scanned the five of them casually, only to frown internally. 

「Name: Flavius – True God 

Level: Law of Burning Embers (Basic) 

Divine Energy: 43%/100%.」 

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Flavius was a tall and lanky bloke who had wavy brown hair and dark blue eyes that were filled with fatigue. He wore a set of red colored robes with the motif of a flame on them, which was likely a Divine set meant to enhance his Law. 

「Name: Linus – True God 

Level: Law of Blazing Wind (Basic) 

Divine Energy: 42%/100%.」 

Linus was a much shorter fellow who had cat ears and a tail behind him. The catman was quite mature and did not look young at all, but he was still relatively handsome thanks to his race. His short white hair covered most of his ears while his light purple eyes were filled with growing fear at the situation he was in. 

「Name: Darren – True God 

Level: Law of Sanguine Recalibration (Basic) 

Divine Energy: 45%/100%.」 

Darren was yet another tall bloke with a well-built body. His skin was corpse gray and his nose was hawkish in nature. He had two black eyes that were partly inscrutable and neatly combed, oiled black hair that shone in the light. 

The True God wore a black robe with red highlights and his two canines were longer than normal. He was clearly a members of the vampire race who had ascended. 

「Name: Jinzo – True God 

Level: Law of Mechanical Wave (Basic) 

Divine Energy: 41%/100%.」 

Jinzo was a strange humanoid automaton that had glowing green eyes and a body made of solidified Aether Crystals. One could see the circuitry within its body through the crystal makeup, and it was made with the most complex magitech. 

It belonged to a now extinct race from the old era called the Magibots. It wore a loose robe around its body that concealed other parts of its body except its arms and legs, as well as some parts of its head. 

「Name: Yusef – True God 

Level: Law of Tidal Force (Intermediate) 

Divine Energy: 44%/100%.」 

The final member of their group was an aged True God with a black goatee and a neatly trimmed mustache. He had a square face and thick brows, as well as a burly body that looked like it could withstand a truck head-on. Yusef wore heavy armor that was a dark blue color and had a halberd in hand. 

His expression was the strangest out of the entire group since he had become the unspoken leader of this small squad due to his Law being at the Intermediate Rank. However, now there was someone even younger than him with the same power as him, meaning that not only was he talented, but he might be stronger. 

Not to mention Barrado, a Master Law True God personally led him here making it obvious that this fellow was someone the upper echelons favored greatly. 

However, this was not the time to fight over such things. It was best to reign Draco in and get him into the flow of things so that the pressure on them could be strongly reduced. Even Yusef felt this way, and subconsciously did not care about leadership as long as the addition of this new member could ease the burden on the battlefield.
