Chapter 1066 - Greem’s New Power
Almost eighty percent of the benefits from the advancement had been absorbed by the Heart of Flames, thereby allowing it to evolve into the Heart of Principles. It could be said that the principle aura flowing and radiating from Greem’s body came entirely from the Heart of Principles.
According to the Chip’s data feedback, Greem’s analysis and understanding of the fire principles were only at 48%. That already included all of Greem’s knowledge and experience of the power of fire over the past two hundred years, as well as the fire energy he had gathered by traveling through dozens of planes, regions, and other worlds.
If he wanted the Chip to continue analyzing the fire principles, he would have to keep gathering knowledge or items related to fire from the other worlds and the realms beyond. It was the only way to compensate for his lack of knowledge.
In truth, being able to decipher 30% of the fire principles with Greem’s personal stockpile of fire knowledge and energy was already extremely fortunate. The other 18% of progress had come from the knowledge reserves he stole from the Zhentarim Association.
It might look as if Greem had only deciphered half of the fire principles, but the indirect benefits of having accomplished this were immense. No powerful spell or magical equipment could rival the effects of having deciphered 48% of the fire principles.
Every 10% of progress he made in the fire principles would bestow Greem with some unusual magical effects.
For instance, at 10% analysis, Greem obtained increased fire spellcasting range.
At 20%, Greem obtained increased fire effectiveness.
Should a Fourth Grade adept start slaughtering and destroying recklessly, they would cause excessive damage to the law systems within a planar world.
Meanwhile, a Fifth Grade adept would be able to bring about irreparable principle damage to a plane’s system.
That was clearly something that no planar consciousness could tolerate!
For the sake of their longevity and development, a planar consciousness would find ways to banish the excessively powerful individuals from within them. The choices of these influential individuals in response to this also resulted in the appearance of different power systems.
The Great Adepts chose to leave the World of Adepts and create new worlds in the realms beyond.
The gods chose to remain, wandering outside the plane’s systems while continuing to exist within the planar world through their god kingdoms.
The Scourge Lords chose to fight back against the planar consciousness, resulting in a bloody purge of life from the World of Disasters and causing the world itself to break apart. If it weren’t for the Scourge Lords constantly going out to hunt other planes for resources and life forms to maintain the existence of the World of Disasters, it would have already fallen apart.
Meanwhile, the Titans were a powerful race that treated space as their home and the individual planes as dens in which they could rest. The smaller planar consciousnesses were nothing to the Titans. Naturally, they were unable to banish the Titans using the meager power of their systems.
To the Titans, planar worlds were only tools and toys. They did not possess the power to resist the Titans!
The Titans also carried the will of the multiverse upon their shoulders. They traveled the universe, responsible for exterminating any powerful creature that threatened the balance of the multiverse. Their conflicts against the Scourge Lords had become the one constant, unchanging theme in the past hundreds of thousands of years!
The powerful forces that were born in the various planar worlds were naturally opposed to the Scourge Lords. Still, many strange factions emerged from these assorted races and powers. Some aided the Scourge Lords in their destruction. Others helped the Titans in their war against the Scourge Lords, while many more preferred to remain neutral and support whichever side held the upper hand.
In this way, a complicated power system and universal politics had emerged, making for this brilliant, yet incredibly dangerous, world!
