Ragnarok's figure was shown after the domain disappeared. He appears to be standing in the air surrounded by a sphere of emptiness. The absence of what used to be around him didn't cause any commotion. They disappeared so silently that It was as if there was never anything around him. Only a smooth surface was left behind at the edge of the domain.
He observed his work with solemnity, "I might never be able to achieve this on my own." contemporary romance
Everything around him for 5 kilometers is now gone. He stood in the air under the open sky and admired his work. The ceiling of the Cavern is no more now. The castle that he used to stay in and the thousands of Sovereign that occupied it a few minutes ago have disappeared.
Their disappearance was not for naught. His boost from POWER had increased by over a hundred thousand percent. Both the amount of POWER he gained and the ability to consume so much at once are not entirely due to his own power. And he might never achieve it because of how precarious his situation is.
He looked into the sky where he felt a probing gaze fall on him. He knows whose gaze it is so he took the warning to heart.
He thought to himself with a smile. "Looks like Mother High Heaven isn't happy."
He used a domain in the plane so it is understandable that she is not happy. If he were an Origin god, then he would be in a lot of trouble right now. But he is not and he is also an indigene of the plane. As long as he doesn't cause destruction to the barrier of the plane with his domain then she won't punish him. But she is still not happy.
He chuckled inwardly. "She is frustrated. I think that must be how the Watcher must feel."
He is an anomaly. His existence breaks rules and causes Chaos. He is not an Origin god but he can wield an Origin domain. What he did is not allowed but Mother High Heaven can't punish him because it is not within the rules to punish kings of law like him.
She is unable to punish him and it reminds him of the angry Watcher. The Watcher had dared them to become World gods and face the consequences. It may be ironic, but Legion is also looking forward to meeting the Watcher. The alternative is to never become world gods and Legion is not going to do that. Instead, they are more inclined toward breaking everything in their path to acquire perfection.
He said with anticipation. "They disdained our ignorance. They laughed at the thought that we think they are world gods. But we survived and we are stronger for it. What doesn't kill us will only make us stronger."
He took one last look at his handiwork. Then he decided to leave. His next target is deep underground so he has to go underground.
He stretched forth his hand towards the obstacle in his path. A small black maw came out of the palm of his hand. It is about 1 meter long so it is small compared to the maw he used earlier. It became smaller when he used soul force to compress it. The small maw shrunk and collapsed onto itself. It became a tiny orb of darkness.
He activated its devouring power and then sent the tiny black orb forward. The orb stayed a short distance from him as it began to pull everything into itself. It warped the air around it to create a small domain of darkness. The orb tried to expand. It wants to destroy everything but he didn't let it go out of control. He kept it moving forward to clear a path for him.
The orb came into contact with the edge of the crater that he formed. It pulled rocks into itself and created a space for him. He pushed the orb further into the ground so that it can create more space for him. His divine ability became a drill for him to tunnel into the ground. It ripped stone and earth and devoured them. Then it sent the energy it acquired to him to strengthen him.
That's the basic function of his divine ability. It breaks down everything to strengthen him as long as he comes in contact with it. It is an offshoot of the original ability of Warrogs. Warrogs can eat anything and grow stronger from it. Living things are the best source of power for them to eat. Inorganic things have little benefits unless they are powerful items full of Origin energy.
But these rocks have no Origin energy in them. The amount of Origin energy within them is several times lesser than the cost of using his divine ability. He will gain more power from consuming Origin energy directly than consuming these rocks.
It might seem better to just sit somewhere and consume Origin energy instead of using it for this. But it is an investment to him. Besides, it is not as if he has to ration his Origin energy supply. He has a near-unlimited amount of it. He can use it to dig and also consume it at the same time.
He is using the title of the child of the plane to its fullest extent. He doesn't get the boost that Soverick gets but he doesn't need it. The infinite supply of Origin energy is good enough for him. Divine life energy is better but it has a limited supply.
He can just sit around and grow stronger every day. But he is not going to do that. Sitting around is for those who are content. He will be growing stronger but it will never be enough for him. Legion will always go for more if they can get more. He can get more. Hence the need to get to where he is heading.
