YM778.TV Chapter 1217: Clearing the Grey Rot 8
After all, a genius didn\'t need that much tutoring, they should be able to get it with just a few words, right?
The frustrated and pressured Jonas then remembered when he sued to play some FIVR games with his ex lover back in high school, and decided to just try whatever was popular at this time to ease off stress.
This naturally coincidentally happened to be Boundless and once he was sucked into it, there was no rescuing Jonas. He soon became engrossed to the point of madness and his law firms was naturally not happy.
One day, there was a dramatic face slap scene where Jonas was publicly berated before being fired, but he displayed his wealth accumulated from the Intermediary Trade Center by changing his gold - at the time - to real money.
Seeing that he was even wealthier than their head lawyer at such a young age form playing a game, many wanted to befriend him to find out how, but Jonas quickly clammed up as he realized the gem he had on his hands.
He devoted his full time to Boundless and eventually managed to get into core membership of Umbra, and his fate skyrocketed form there. His time in Umbra was the most memorable and meaningful of his life, a bunch of people of literally every single demographic in the world united in their hared superiority and arrogance over the plebeians.
Jonas was at home.
This naturally inflated grandly when he was noticed by the Evil trio and bestowed a bloodline, for when his body was rebuilt and his fate changed, he keenly understood the difference between himself and everyone else.
Coming to know about the truth of the world and the universe, he realized how tiny earth was and the things that held him back disappeared. After all, he was Jonas, one of the core members of Umbra and proud wielder of the Radiant Linage bloodline!
He would be fighting along Eternals and destined deities like the Evil Trio, being someone who was destined to be an Origin God himself at his peak at the very least!
Jonas sat on the ground and felt empty. He had been the first core members to die after becoming True Gods, through it was reversed by Eva since she didn\'t want him to embarrass himself.
But Eva was not aware that Jonas would a hundred times prefer that the core members laugh and disdain him than ever see that look of disappointment on her face. In this life, there were only three people Jonas acknowledged from the bottom of his heart, and that was Draco, Eva and Shuangtian, especially Eva.
Jonas was dazed for a while and then stood up after patting his bum. He didn\'t have time to mope forever, and there was no one who was coming to give him an emotionally uplifting speech that would change his life forever positively.
Like every adult in the world, Jonas had to slap his cheeks and get his head back in the game, internalizing this lesson and making sure to never repeat it again. He glanced at the grey rot nearby which had not been damaged in the least by his actions and strangely smiled.
Noble Writer manifested his divine avatar once more and had it begin to write, this time decreeing something far more sensible.
"Heavenly Fire shall burn my foes as I wish."
With a wave of his hand, his divine avatar produced the words as a plume of white fire manifested in its palm. Like a flamethrower, it poured this white flame onto the grey rot before Noble Writer methodically, looking like someone who was air-blowing leaves from a lawn.
He checked the divine energy drain from the law usage and found that it was steady and stable, not at all outrageous and quite sustainable. As such, he continued to maintain this output while his mind wandered.
"I wonder how she\'s doing now…" He muttered to himself, his eyes deep with meaning.
Towards another side, one could see a very sexy and mature woman cursing vulgarly as she glanced at the grey mass before her with a chagrined look. Her body was clothed in the familiar black kevlar and polymer-like attire that most devil-kin wore, even the current Zaine.
With her explosive figure concealed like this, it rather drew ones imagination as they could see the outline of the curves and valleys so deeply but could not actually view the supple flesh beneath nor gain access to it… which drove many mad.
However, this sensual beauty was full of indignation at the moment as if she had swallowed a fly, and the reason was quickly apparent with some more digging.
｢Name: Brother Is Best – True God
Level: The Law of Sensual Seduction (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Sensual Seduction - Divine Law
Grade: SSS+
Effect: This law focuses on enhancing the user\'s ability to enthrall all creatures in a more of lust regardless of sex, gender or state of being, turning them into willing slaves in the form of love thralls, offering different benefits for the law wielder.
Sources: The Seductive Goddess (Divine Class) + Aura of Lust (Passive Skill).｣
Well, it was clear why Bella was so peeved as she stood here… because she couldn\'t do anything!
The grey rot was a fucking mist, an inanimate thing that didn\'t have the slightest shred of sentience, just some basic instinct of self preservation. How was Bella supposed to give such a being a \'boner\' and then control it???
Not to mention the grey rot was a huge entity. She wasn\'t crazy like Noble Writer to try and capture the entire grey rot into her law at once, even Semi-Origin Gods wouldn\'t dare. She also couldn\'t try to seduce a small part because the grey rot was one whole entity.
Bella was chagrined because she was likely and truly the only core member who utterly could not do anything to the grey rot. Even her bloodline wouldn\'t help as she went down the path of seduction there too and did not have much of a focus on the psychic control aspect of devilkin.
But that wasn\'t what actually annoyed her. Being incapable of dealing with the grey rot normally simply meant she could use unorthodox methods - and Umbra had hundreds of those - so she wasn\'t worried.
The problem was that she actually couldn\'t rightly go that far because she did have a way out, just that it was a path she was unwilling to take.
｢Love and Desire – Passive skill
Effect: The Seductive Goddess, despite her cruel nature, is a being of love and craves the essence of desire. Once the Seductive Goddess falls genuinely in love with another being, she is able to borrow his stats and abilities freely.｣
This skill was useless unless there was a person out there who could capture her heart, which was a tough thing since her heart was as cold as a glacier. However, despite her best efforts and resistance, someone had managed to worm his way through the cold exterior and set up his base within, entrenched and complete immovable.
Thinking of that figure, Bella bit her lips in frustration but still honestly raised her hand and released a shockingly familiar skill.
｢Pandemonium Form – Active skill
Effect: Tap into the chaotic energies of Pandemonium, transforming into a towering Avatar of Destruction. In this form, you gain 5,000% increased size, strength, and elemental resistance. Melee attacks become devastating area-of-effect strikes that send shockwaves through the battlefield.
Duration: 1.5 hours
Cooldown: 3 hours or 0.07 Divine Points.｣
Her body rapidly expanded, becoming a skyscraper sized being of sensual monstrosity. She was not like a feminine giantess but rather a demonic monster summoned from hell who towered over the mortal world.
She raised a massive arm and struck down on the grey rot, causing the fog to rapidly converged to combat the physical force and the lingering Destruction Force from the Calamity Ling class passives.
As if venting her rage for having to stoop to this level, Bella became much like how she looked, an incarnation of destruction as her arms came down rapidly on the area, causing quakes and terror that would have caused countless beings to perish if they had been targeted by her.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
With a weird expression Shani glanced over at Bella\'s area and saw what she had become. She knew the details and put two and two together, her lips twitching when she realized what Bella was rampaging about.
Shani didn\'t much like Bella due to her history with Cobra, and she disliked her even more after seeing her behaving this way about her obvious feelings for Nightwalker. It was natural that Shani would feel this way, after all, she had maintained and nurtured her love for Boyd openly for years even after the horrible events that transpired between them.
But that was because Shani was tomboyish and driven in a male-like manner, proactively seeking to achieve her goals and desires without letting much that she could control stop her.
Now, as a mother of four, three in Boundless and one in reality, she had matured even more and become more feminine, but the proactive nature of her personality had not disappeared. As such, she took her mind off her fellow core member and focused on her own quarry.
｢Name: Shani – True God
Level: The Law of Modern Warfare (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Modern Warfare - Divine Law
Grade: EX+
Effect: This law enhanced the users ranged versatility, granting them the ability to use various skills within the world of Boundless and merge them with the technological warfare style of another world, creating a unique fighting system.
Sources: The Divine Shot (Divine Class) + Killstreaks (Passive Skill).｣
Shani had many choices for her law, but nearly jumped when she saw this one. This law was the only one that did nothing to actually boost or changed her power in terms of using archery or crossbow shooting in Boundless.
However, its effect was simple and tyrannical. It allowed her to turn all her methods into the equivalent of earths current modern warfare and weaponry. So if she held a bow in Boundless, it would morph into a sniper rifle. If she held a crossbow it would turn into an assault rifle or submachine gun. If she held a slingshot, it would turn into a pistol.
If she held goblinwerk bombs, they would turn into grenades. The range of options it opened for her were truly great and she didn\'t hesitate to abuse it for this battle.
Immediately, Shani snapped her skills that were already breaching the laws of Boundless world previously but now outright broke it.

｢Attack Helicopter – Active skill

Shani smiled as she cradled a large packed minigun turret and then put it down before the grey rot, letting it unfold itself with fancy electronics as it came to live. Meanwhile above, one could see an attack helicopter rushing over from the right of the horizon while a powerful gunship came from the left.
