Village Head's Debauchery

For example, if a dragon were to face a pure elemental being, the dragon would come out victorious if its quantity of elemental energy didn't surpass that of the dragon since it could not surpass the 'Dragonic energy' in quality.

As for whether the two could come together, Orion pondered the possibilities. Wouldn't various races choose to crossbreed with those possessing higher-ranked energy to bear powerful offspring for future generations?

Aegis of the Arctic Deity had emphasized that the higher the rank of energy, the easier it was to use and manipulate those below it. Even without crossbreeding, controlling lower energies was still possible, while it was the opposite for lesser-ranked energies.

Considering these thoughts, Orion decided to seek clarification from Aegis of the Arctic Deity. He also wanted to understand where the Prismerions race fell in this hierarchy, as he was still a bit confused about the kind of energy they utilized.

"Yes, you are correct. Although the higher the rank of energy, the harder it is for one to procreate, it doesn't mean that some races, like the dragons, were unwilling to try it. That's why there are various dragon kins, some of which have elemental traits while still retaining their dragonic essence."

"We gods were also curious to see the results of these experiments, as some of the other gods had gone to great lengths to ensure their children were more unique. However, certain limitations were imposed to prevent things from going too far," explained Aegis of the Arctic Deity.

"As for the Prismerions, all I can say is that each energy comes with its own characteristics. Even though some gods hesitated to take the risk and preferred utilizing magical energy, the source from which other energies are derived, they could still tap into the unique forms of energy associated with different races."

"The higher the rank of energy, the more challenging it is for such beings not naturally attuned to sense and utilize it. This is why races harnessing magical energy, like the Prismerions, are among the most diverse, capable of competing with others using higher-ranked energies if they can sense them. Because of this, races like this emphasize the importance of both the quality and quantity of their energy over that of other races," elaborated Aegis of the Arctic Deity.

Orion nodded in comprehension. It became clear why the Prismerions possessed diverse abilities and techniques—they could sense other forms of energy used by unique races.

Having absorbed Aegis of the Arctic Deity's explanations, Orion fixed his gaze on him.

"What about Vylkr energy? You've covered the most paramount kinds of energy and their ranks, but you haven't mentioned Vylkr energy," he inquired, posing one of the most troublesome questions lingering in his mind.

"Vylkr energy?" Aerialia muttered, turning her head sharply to fix her gaze on Orion. With a furrowed brow, she scrutinized him. Although she could tell that something had happened to the Crimson Great Sword which she had left behind, which in turn affected the Crimson Great Sword mark, she could also sense that the energy he utilized was somehow also connected to the changes in the Crimson Great Sword and its mark.

"Is that the manner of energy thou art using?" she questioned.

"Yes," Orion affirmed, nodding.

Aerialia continued to study him intently.

Meanwhile, the large pair of golden eyes remained silent for a full minute, a deep exhale breaking the serenity of the space.

"The Vylkr energy is the most dangerous and volatile kind of energy I have ever encountered in all my life. It's more ferocious than the dragonic energy and carries even more might than the Celestial energy. The only thing that I can compare it to is the divine energy..." Aegis of the Arctic began, only to be abruptly interrupted.

"Divine energy! Dost thou mean the energy within him is comparable to that of divine energy? Impossible!" Aerialia exclaimed in disbelief, her gaze fixed sceptically on the large pair of golden eyes. Doubt clouded her mind as she pondered whether this being was truly a god or merely a clever impostor.

Aegis of the Arctic Deity shifted his attention towards Aerialia.

Detecting scepticism in her eyes, he addressed her concerns, saying, "I can understand your doubts. It's not easy to believe that there is an energy that's comparable to the divine energy, especially when it's not the Primordial energy. However, considering that each kind of energy possesses unique characteristics, goddess Aerialia, would you like to know one of the defining traits of Vylkr energy?" His gaze remained fixed on her figure.

Aerialia nodded quietly in response.

"It's consumption," he said.

Aegis of the Arctic refocused his gaze on Orion. "It doesn't matter what it is—be it energy, being, or anything in particular—it will be completely consumed by the Vylkr energy as long as it is placed in its midst," he explained.

"Now, goddess Aerialia, where would you rank an energy that is capable of contending with 'Divine energy' and even consuming it whole?" he asked.

"Impossible!" Aerialia muttered loudly. Slowly, she shifted her gaze towards Orion, focusing on him.

"The only reason I haven't compared it to the Primordial energy is because, as a god who has witnessed the might of Primordial energy, even though it was challenging for me to accept that fact when I encountered such a revelation, it is already reasonable enough for me to place it on par with Divine energy."

"That's why I was astonished when I met you and wondered how a human could possess and control such an extremely volatile energy, ranked as powerful as Divine energy," Aegis of the Arctic Deity explained.

He withdrew his gaze from Orion and Aerialia and focused on the warriors behind him.

"Although I had my doubts before, since this matter also concerns the Vylkr vines, seeing as there are several others who are also capable of utilizing the Vylkr energy, please tell me how you were able to harness the Vylkr energy?" Aegis of the Arctic Deity asked.
