The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

Chapter 153 Domain Rulership

The fusion process of the domains finally came to an end, and both newly established regions of the domain prospered in one way, or another.

Romania progressing forward as a nation.

Their rank amongst the twelve nations of humanity was already within the top six, but with this, they are bound to increase greatly in rank and authority.

Meanwhile, the city of Avarice already had a head start in its ascendence of power, thanks to Damien and Juliette's presence. But now, its rising was going to be unstoppable!!

The pace at which humanity was progressing at, although subtly, and although at minor regions, was quite fast and unpredictable.

Yet the rising threats against them were always a step ahead. The wolf pack that had been gathering all the wolf forces of this whole cardinal direction, were getting stronger by the minute.

The evolution of the world to a stage three Realm, which will signify the establishment of a Plane of Existence, was inching closer, ever so slowly. And just that small evolution alone, would set the world on a higher platform than the residents of the world could fathom.

Both in power, and authority.

Fortunately, all that was still in the near future.

For now, Damien and Juliette had just bestowed upon Fiona and Adonis the authority to reign over their respective domains, as rising kings!!

"...But, it seems like you don't have much control and authority, despite all that." Juliette said, as they both went through the pros of gaining authority over a medium sized city like Avarice. "We–Well, there are at least some gains to it, right?" Adonis suggested.

From going through what he could do with his authority, there are three effects that he realized he could do. And though they added nothing much to his battle power, they were still a necessity to any ruler.

The first was the ability to have access over the entirety of Avarice's range of influence, and map it out into a three dimensional hologram. Though the hologram required vast amounts of Mana to keep active.

"The best part is that, I have the definition of every natural feature, and man made feature within. Like the fertility of the soil, the steadiness of buildings, the conditions of products and resources. I can also gain basic information of my citizens, and anyone within range." Adonis added in excitement.

The more land he conquers, the higher his range of influence, and the closer he would be to godliness.

After all, ruling over Avarice, made him nigh-omniscient towards everything occurring within the city.

Imagine if he ruled over the entire world. And that was not all, as with this, he would be able to locate rare resource points of the land he governs.

This effect was just godly. He further explained.

He was telling this to Juliette, who felt like the ability was previously useless. After all, her thoughts were not those of a king or a ruler, but those of a young girl, and a newly risen mage. "Is that so?" She marveled at his words.

That being the case, she was smart and open minded, and realized how amazing the ability was for someone like Adonis. 'It's literally an ideal ability for any rising king.' She thought to herself.

"Yes. This ability is a godsend to me, or any aspiring king out there, lady Juliette." He responded with a smile to her inquiry, and Juliette nodded in understanding, showing excitement for him.

The second ability, was to empower his people, depending on the overall situation of his city. The higher the city conditions, the happier the people, and the more stable his reign, meant a greater boost to his people's overall prowess.

The minimum boost was 300%, and it could go as high as 800%, as a Tier 3 Domain, let alone at higher ranks. This ability was amazing, and even Juliette understood that without any need of convincing.

"With this ability, you can increase the strength of your people greatly. Then does that mean, an army of ten thousand, could defeat an army of thirty thousand or eighty thousand men?" She thought out loud to herself.

And her logic wasn't flawed. Under normal circumstances, an army of ten thousand, against another army of ten thousand, would result in a stalement.

Only luck, strategy and a better war formation, could change the tides.

Yet if one army amongst the two, had their strength increased by three times, it means that a single warrier of theirs, would be capable of taking down three warriors from the other side. A simple concept.

And even if the other side had a better strategy and battle formation, there was still a high chance they would lose against pure strength.

Well, a high chance, to be precise.

"Yes, strategy and battle formations are still a necessity in war, regardless of how powerful you are." Adonis agreed with her thought process.

But this ability also shined in other areas. For example, having the strength of construction workers or farmers increased by three times, would increase their work efficiency by three times as well.

Unfortunately, the cost was insanely high. Using it on one person would cost him a thousand units of Mana per second. Then imagine using it on fifty million residents? For hours on end?

The boy couldn't shoulder such costs.

And yes, this effect basically stretched towards anyone that was legally registered as a citizen of Avarice. Including children and the elderly ones, the disabled or the incapable.

Adonis subconsciously smiled thinking of the near future, and moved on to the last ability that he received.

And this ability, was the one that Adonis loved the most out of all abilities.

For, it allowed him the ability to design a class that will be born under him, with him also obtaining one, yet his class being a single level above those of the others.

In other words, the created class will be an ordinary class, let's say a "Knight" class for example. Yet if he were to obtain it, as the regional master, he will obtain a unique "Knight" class instead.

It was just amazing.

"Now that, is an amazing effect." Harold interjected, nodding in thought.

The created class, depends on the imagination level of the Creator, true. 'Yet no matter how exaggerated its made out to be, it'll be an ordinary class at best.' He sighed to himself.

The effect only applied to ordinary classes, thus only Adonis' class would be unique grade. And though that was great, it did not have enough attractive force towards the populace.

'Either than the fact that they would be working for the royal prince of this Stronghold. Well, that alone is better than becoming an adventurer or a militant.' He thought, with a sigh of disappointment.

"Indeed it is... but luckily, sir Damien had given us Legendary Class Inheritance beforehand." Adonis agreed with Harold's words, and then unknowingly responded to his thoughts at the same time with a bright smile.

"Huh? Wait, what? Huh?" And the man was left shocked by those words.

A Legendary what? Excuse me, but where did Damien obtain that, when they fought hard to obtain their own legendary classes.

"Hm? A Legendary Class Inheritance. I believe it was called "Knights of Avalon", if I'm not mistaken." Adonis responded, then establishing the inheritance as his created class after taking it out of his storage pouch.

[ ... ]

[ ...Sir, are you sure you would like to bestow the people with the Legendary Class Inheritance, "Knights of Avalon" as your prescribed Class? ]

And the divine will chose to affirm with him, before going forward.

The Class Inheritance was far above its level, and just absorbing one, would increases it's evolution beyond Tier 4, and closer to becoming a unique Tier 5 Domain.

This was a godsend opportunity!!

But that was not all. If Adonis did so, and obtained the Class as well, he would obtain a Lesser Divine version of the Knight of Avalon Class.

Which was even more amazing!!

This would allow it to evolve to Tier 5, and possible beyond it, moving closer to becoming a unique Tier 6 Domain as well. After all, anything beyond Legendary, was possibly a power beyond Reality itself.

An source of power!!

"Yes, please. I'd like to use this Inheritance to create a class of my choice. It is possible, right, great will?" Adonis affirmed and confirmed at the same time, in which the divine will immediately responded.

[ It is, regional lord Adonis. Please wait a moment, as the Class Inheritance prescription is underway. The process will take a while, there is no need to wait, regional lord ]

[ But as you are currently not powerful enough, there will be slots that you require to fill in per League. Currently, you can only have ten slots as you're are in the Second League (Master Profession). Is that okay with you, lord Adonis? ]

The divine will said, the contents of the words slightly surprising Adonis. 'Ah, so it seems I cannot create an army of Legendary Class holders... But it's fine. Having ten Legendary Class holders should be fine for now. And it seems they'll double the stronger I become.' Adonis thought in self-consolement.

"It's okay. Let it be as such. We will still continue." He subtly nodded at the words, albeit he was partially disappointed.

[ Yes, lord Adonis. As you wish ]
