Law!
Laws, these are the basic universal components that constitute the same world, above all powers and above all means, being able to comprehend a law let alone control one is the ability that only a superior being posses
As a high-ranking abyss demon who has lived for hundreds of years, Ristarte has learnt some secrets that many people wouldn't even fathom, and some of them have to deal with law
According to what lord Asmodeus told him, the Gods of Elias can be ranked from lower God, to medium God, to upper God, then there's the main God, and lastly the God King
In power level held between each stage can be said to be worlds apart, a single medium God and crush hundreds of lower Gods, while an upper God doesn't even need to move to wipe out a medium God let alone the main God and the God-king
According to what Lord Asmodeus told him then, only he and the other of the seven sins can face a God-king and retreat calmly, without their presence, the former God king would have already wiped out all the demons in the abyss
Thinking of this, a chill ran down Ristarte's spine
*However, why does this human attack possess the power of law?*
*Without it, there's no way a mere fireball could injure me"
Wincing slightly, a slight jolt of pain from the burn marks reminded him that it was not a dream
According to what he heard, to become a lower God you need to comprehend 30% percent of a certain law, be it the law of flames, law of war, law of wind, or anything, for as long as it's a concept that exists in the world, there is a corresponding law for it
However, while lower Gods need to comprehend 30% of a low, medium Gods need 50%, upper Gods need 70% and main Gods need 100%, at this point after reaching the main God level, the law follows your words, you could look at a continent and think of it burning, and after controlling 100% of the law of flame, the whole continent would burn instantaneously
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile to be a God-king, one doesn't comprehend nor control the law again, rather he incarnates as the law and becomes an almost conceptual being,
Unfortunately currently an ancient God of light still exists stopping Helios from fully occupying the concept of light, so unfortunately rather than a God-king, he should be called a half step God king at most.
This is one of the many reasons why the will of Elias imposed many restrictions on Gods before descending on the main plane or mortal plane lest they suddenly get a whim and destroy the world
However, although controlling gods can control the law by comprehending it, each percent takes thousands of years to gain a little progress. This is why the number of lower Gods are way more than medium or upper Gods
And from Elric's attack, although very weak, Ristarte felt the aura of law, although less than one percent, but you do know that this is a human with only a lifespan of about a hundred years
Compared to him who's almost a thousand years old, Elric was not even a baby in comparison, yet he had already come in contact with law!
Realising this, Ristarte only had one thought in his mind
This son must not stay!
With a focus on eliminating Elric, as quickly as possible, Ristarte suddenly unfolded his wings and darted toward him trying to end him before he could react

ELRIC POV
Looking at Ristarte who was covered in burn marks and injuries, Elric wasn't happy but rather had a confused look on his face
Just now, although he had spoken to Alvin and learnt that Ristarte was almost immune to all elemental attacks, coupled with Ristarte's word just now, Elric couldn't help but question himself
"Why did my attack hurt him, could it be that my spells possess the power of law?"
"No! That definitely can be it, if not why did Alvin's attack not work on him"
Murmuring slightly, the confusion on Elric's face became worse, after all both he and Alvin cast the same spell, although he used more mana, but they were fundamentally the same.
If so, where could the difference be?
"Could it be because of the small world"
Thinking of the small world, that was the only notable difference Elric could find between Alvin and himself at the moment, unfortunately he couldn't figure out what the small world had to do with law
[Alert! Alert! Alert!]
[A high-speed projectile is approaching the host! Please take proper measures!!]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust when Elric was thinking on how to equate law to his small world, the familiar voice of the A.I. chip which he hadn't heard in a while sounded in his ears
However this time, Elirc wasn't the one to call on it first rather it spoke on its own
[Alert! Alert! Alert!]
[Alert! Alert! Alert!]
Listening to the constant alert, Elric realised that something was wrong, obviously it was only set to do this once an emergency was about to happen
Thinking of this, he turned towards where the A.I. chip sensed the danger from
"Damn!"
As soon as Elric turned his head, he saw a red shadow heading towards him like a torpedo, and given its speeds, Elric knew if he didn't do something soon he might become the first ever human shish kebab
"Body strengthening magic activated!"
"Stone body activate!"
"Juli strength activated!"
Immediately under Elrics quick reaction, he summoned his spell book and activated all the new defensive spells he had mastered lately
With that, under Elric's command, both he and the spell book began to glow in a strange light, and with the increasing of the light's intensity, Elric could feel his body getting harder and stronger every second
Unfortunately, Elric knew that such a change wasn't permanent.
Putting his hands in a criss-cross pattern above his chest, Elric greeted Ristarte's impact head on
*Boom!*
