FLASH!

A marvelous sight emerged before my eyes as I saw with great interest the thing that my new Path Jewel had given birth to! It used to merely be a normal path jewel, but now it brought with itself an amazing new power, a Lesser Dao!

Another one… this is amazing, I am just creating Daos with this Path Jewels stuff, and I am rocking it! However, these Daos from Path Jewels are usually weakened due to not being completely brought to life through "legal" means.

Therefore, a Lesser Dao born from a Path Jewel is weaker than the one that the Venerables might have, even the Dao of Demise was nerfed greatly from Grand Cosmic Dao to Cosmic Dao.

Nonetheless, let's not that take away our attention from the great prize before my eyes, the Lesser Dao of Gates!

I checked it immediately as I caught it with my hands and comprehended and assimilated. A stream of info regarding its powers and components reached my mind. It was a fairly simple Lesser Dao with great effects if used in combination with others.

…

[Lesser Dao of Gates: Comprehension Level: 100%]

The mysterious and newly created power of Gates, a concept invented by Kireina Chaos Dark Moon, a Dao Child. This Dao grants its user the ability to create "gates" that connect to certain abilities or places, these gates require of other many abilities to completely open and create, and they can be used subsequently for both movement and attack.

The Lesser Dao of Gates is part of the Lesser Dao Subcategory, formed by the combination of Space and Law as its primary Laws, alongside All other Attributes as its secondary Laws. It grants the user the ability to create gates.

Primary Effect: Grants the user the ability to create Gates. These Gates can create connections in between powers which are called Gate Nodes, powers can be used alongside Gates to create and generate consecutive and special effects.

Secondary Effect: Enhances the Speed of Comprehension of Laws related to the Dao by 5000%, while increasing damage dealt using these elements permanently by +5000%.

Bonus Effect 1: Grants the user +500% Damage Dealt and Defense over Attributes related to this Dao with every 1% of Dao Comprehension.

Bonus Effect 2: Enhances the power of your Gates Ability, enhancing the effectiveness of your Gates by +5000% at Full Dao Comprehension.

Bonus Effect 3: Gates can be generated to connect Power Nodes and even Formations, bringing forth new ways to play around with such capabilities.

…

I read the description attentively and found out its simplicity. It wasn't a power that could let me teleport around or something, this ability was pretty much the same as Gates of Bjarmia, it was an imaginary magical gate that opened up to an internal space that constantly generated attacks.

Now, with this Lesser Dao, the power of this Path jewel was enhanced even further, and also I could generate and even edit new types of Gates of-type of abilities, even more, I could even combine the entire concept around with other Abilities of completely different effects and also Formations. I could perhaps make a special gate named Gate of Healing, which would constantly fire rays of recovering to allies in the border of dying, and so on.

It was interesting, but maybe through some workaround, they could also be used to teleport around, but I doubt it could be the same thing as that one Great God that serves Lucifer, the four-headed lion great god whose name I forgot.

This open ups a lot of great possibilities that I could take advantage of, and I am rather excited about its prospects in the future, but for now, I was happy with my new Path Jewel and its abilities, which I decided to check out right away.

For starters, I had a new dummy friend, it was a powerful Spiritual Water Slime Titan, a Supreme God-Realm Divine Beast, this being had come out of Rimuru's Divine Realm and she had brought it to me just about now.

"Here it is, masta!" she said.

"Thank you dear." I said.

"What are you going to do with it? Eat it?" she asked.

"No, no. How could I do something so barbaric? I am actually going to try out my new Gate of Bjarmia." I said.

"Oh?! That one old ability you once used to use a lot!" she said.

She remembered.

"Indeed, that very one! Remember when I was an Undine Butterfly? That was the time I summoned you, good ol' times." I giggled.

"Yeah! It was fun back then- well, not like it isn't fun now. But that part of our lives feels like our sweet infancy." She said.

"Indeed, it does, even when only a bit over a year has passed since then, those times feel distant… Anyways, let's begin. Shoot!"

I pointed my open palm at the giant titan of water as a massive gate opened before me, gloriously shining with the brightness of the oceans, bright azure-colored light came out of its gates, with various Greek-like decorations depicting nymphs, tritons, krakens, and other beasts of mythology, this was the upgraded version of Gate of Bjarmia, Gate of Atlantis! Gate of Bjarmia upgraded itself automatically after acquiring this ability, so it was time for me to get going and use it right away, it wasn't just Bjarmia anymore, but its 2.0 version!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Massive, over 20-meter-big masses of water shaped as weapons such as blades, axes, spears, and more moved at incredible speeds towards my target, their overflowing azure essence released the might of the oceans within them, impacting the giant of water who should be very resistant to it.

Or was it? Thanks to their new defense-penetrating power and their ability to ignore Elemental Law Resistance, this Water Titan was being decimated even by the power of its same element!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

And the projectiles continued to explode into the area, making a tremendous fuss all around… the entire titan was pulverized in a matter of seconds.
