Chapter 1780: Nebula
I tried enhancing Nebula even further, and I was able to reach up to +3 Enhancement before the Domain needed to grow stronger on its own... Yes, on its own.
This was Nebula's status, all while he... she, or they were moving around, spreading their stars and exploring everything, it felt like a child just learning about everything.
Indeed, Andromeda was right, we might have created a new lifeform.
[You have directly Enhanced and Upgraded your Divine Domain [Nebula]'s Domain Status!]
[You have granted an Enhancement of +2!]
[You have granted an Enhancement of +3!]
[You have reached the maximum Enhancement Cap for this Target.]
[The Divine Domain [Nebula] must grow stronger to receive more Enhancements.]
[You have exchanged a total of 6.000.000 Ascendancy Law Essence.]
[Domain Name]: [Nebula (+3)]
[Domain Race]: [Heavenly Abyssal Azure Nebula Domain]
[Domain Class]: [Astral Guardian *: Lv0/100]
[Domain Soul]: [Expanding Domain Realm: Rank 1 (Initial Stage)]
[Energy Body]: [500.000] (+300.000)
[Elemental Essence]: [500.000] (+300.000)
[Ethereal Composition]: [600.000] (+300.000)
[Domain Class Skills]: [Constellation Summon *: Lv0/100]
[Domain Abilities]: {Elemental Star Creation (SS)} {Domain Expansion (SS)} {Individual Domain (SS+)} {Astral Combination (SSS)}
{Enhancement +1 Effect}: [When this Domain is activated and is protecting an ally, all Stats increase by 100% while any ally within the Domain will regenerate their Health and Energies 50% faster.]
{Enhancement +2 Effect}: [For every Star created within the Domain, there's a 20% chance for the Star to be a Small Nova, a 10% chance for a Big Nova, and a 1% chance for it to be a Titan Nova, increasing their Power and Explosive Ability.]
{Enhancement +3 Effect}: [Once foes are defeated by the Domain's attacks, they can be absorbed by the Domain and feed to enhance their Domain Soul's growth, while increasing the Domain's Stats by 1% for 10 Minutes for up to a 100% enhancement.]
"Huh, so these are the Domain's Stats! They're much lower than I imagined, it kind of looks a bit like the Spirit System," I said. "But it still fairly unique if not incredible. So there's Abilities within the Domain... It even has a Class, a Class Skill, and the Enhancement Effects too!"
Although the Divine Ability couldn't be enhanced directly, this pretty much feels as if it was enhanced, and the enhancements are superb!
However, there were also some intriguing things.
"So Domains can Cultivate too? They can grow using their Domain Soul?" I wondered.
"Yes, it seems to be the case!" nodded Andromeda. "Nebula and any other Domain you grant a System will start at Rank 1 unfortunately. Meaning their Souls are very young and just recently born. But the way they grow is also very quickly, by absorbing the corpses of defeated foes, so it shouldn't be hard at all to enhance Nebula's Rank a lot!"
"Hmm, what other Domain do I have that I could enhance?" I wondered, checking my Status. However, the other Divine Ability that was a Domain was [Divine Windstorm Domain], and it seemed much weaker than Nebula, so it felt like a waste of precious Essence.
"I guess it's not worth it to use it on [Divine Windstorm Domain]," I said. "The Divine Ability isn't even fully maxed yet anyways."
"Hmm, a purely wind-made sentient domain... It could certainly be strong if it acts independently," Andromeda said. "Think about the possibilities, Drake, you could leave it with your family to protect them better!"
"Aah, you're tempting me again!" I sighed. "Wouldn't this be a waste of essence anyways? Nebula is enough for now... Wait, there's another Domain too, right?"
"Heh, you remembered! Yes, the Domain within your Divinity Core! The [Demonic Soul- Devouring Nightmare Frost Flame Domain]!"
"Yeah! That one!" I nodded. "Can I enhance it?"
"We can try!" nodded Andromeda. "And if it doesn't work, then you Integrate the Windstorm Domain instead!"
"Hah, fine... But I bet it'll work if it already worked on Nebula anyways." I laughed.
Like this, I quickly unleashed this destructive, insanely powerful Domain from within my Ascendancy Law Core, purple-, black-, red-, and azure-colored flames surged endlessly, shaping into monstrous entities that attempted to devour everything.
Nebula was startled and quickly moved away from the way, something it would have never done before, it would have simply stayed put... So it even feels intimidated by stronger and bigger Domains? Interesting.
"Then..."
I tried using the Divine Ability on it and...
Ding!
[Failure! Unfortunately, it is impossible to Integrate a Domain that is an extension of the System Law itself into the System Law, as it is already part of it and born from the very integration. Enhancements are also not possible, as it will grow through the Ascendancy Law itself.]
"It didn't work?! Damn it!"
"I had guessed it wouldn't completely work," said Andromeda. "After all, the Core Abilities are born from the fusion of many powers, divinities, or divine abilities all while being an extension of the law itself! Therefore, it simply won't work because they're already integrated."
"I see... Then fine, let's make the Wind Domain," I sighed. "But first, let's try making it SSS+
Rank first, shall we?"
"Alright!" Andromeda nodded.
Ding!
[You have exchanged 1.000.000 Ascendancy Law Essence!]
[The [Divine Windstorm Domain (SS)] Divine Ability has been Ranked Up to SSS+ Rank!]
[The Divine Ability has grown stronger, reaching its maximum power.]
[Divine Windstorm Domain (SSS+)]
A powerful Divine Ability that usually only the strongest Wind Dragons can develop after hundreds of years of practicing their Wind Element.
By channeling your Divinity of Winds and your Affinity with Winds, and spending Divine Power and Mana, you can naturally and passively create a domain of Divine Windstorm, which encompasses you and your surroundings. The size of the Domain can be up to 300 -> 900 Meters as long as you use enough Divine Power.
You and your allies within the Divine Windstorm Domain will receive a great boost to their abilities. Movement Speed, Agility, Dexterity, and Reaction Speed increases by 200% -> 400%, and everyone gains the ability to easily fly by riding the Winds. Additionally, Wind Attribute Magic Power increases by 300% -> 900% and MP and Divine Power Cost decreases by 30%->70%. Those without Wind Affinity receive a temporary one and half of these
effects.
When foes are within your Divine Windstorm Domain, they will be constantly attacked by sharp gusts of emerald winds, which will deal up to 150%-> 450% Wind Attribute Damage based on your Arcane Force Stat every 3 to 6 -> 6 to 9 times every 20 -> 10 seconds. Additionally, their Movement Speed, Agility, Dexterity, and Reaction Speed decreases by 50% -> 70% and their resistance to the Wind Element decreases by 50% ->80%.
Once activated, requires constant Mana and Divine Power. Can be toggled on and off.
"Ah, it's pretty damn good now," I nodded. "But I often times forget to use the little abilities
when I'm fighting and always use the big things..."
"Hence why if it becomes a Living Domain as I'll call these new beings, will help you," said Andromeda. "It can remain around without needing constant energy as well, as they gain their own Souls and energy reserves that regenerate over time."
"Hm, you're right, as always," I nodded. "Sorry for being stingy, let's do it."
Like that, as I unleashed this mighty storm of emerald winds around me while I flew into the
skies, I quickly decided to Integrate and Upgrade it into the System.
FLUOSH!
Nebula will get a little sibling.
