Zero awoke to find Hel standing nearby looking down at him with a disappointed look on her face. He rubbed his forehead and asked, “How long have I been out.”
“If you’re asking about the battle then 5 minutes but if you talking about when you lost control of yourself then it’s been about 17 minutes.” answered Hel
When Zero heard Hel’s answer, he clenched his fist tightly. Deciding to change the subject he asked, “So we did a mock battle as you suggested. How would you rate us?”
“You both get an F. If I was judging you based on mortal standards you’d get a high grade but by god standards, you both fail.” answered Hel
Valna had awakened as Hel had begun to answer Zero so when Hel finished she stood up and glared at her. She asked, “How did we fail we’re clearly much stronger than we were before we faced Sophia.”
Hel nodded and said, “Yes you are stronger but don’t forget she was facing 7 people nearing demigod level strength while being restricted and weakened by her avatar. I’ll also have that she was a long-range fighter like me but her arrogance made her fight you all at close range. Basically what I’m trying to say is even though she was stronger she had every disadvantage while you all had every advantage. Let’s not even mention the absurd amount of luck that happened back to back for you all to attain victory.”
“Yeah I’ll have to thank Soma for lending us his plot armor.” said Zero as he chuckled causing Hel to have a confused look on her face as she repeated, “Plot armor?”
“Nevermind. I’d rather talk about what we did wrong and how we can improve.” said Zero
“Well there are quite a lot of problems but I’ll focus on the 4 major issues. First, you’re both weak physically and too slow. Secondly, your use of divine mana is abysmal and inefficient. Thirdly neither of you used any defensive abilities and fought like a couple of berserkers. Finally and the most important thing neither of you used a domain.”
[Finally, it’s my time to shine! Preparing a summary to explain the subject: Domains.]

**************
Domains: Users have a personal domain: an area in which a being has absolute power, through magical, supernatural, scientifically, or other means, which may be a physical area or an entire dimension. Some users may even possess omnipotence within their domains. Users can choose any area or location and gain complete control of all of its contents, granting them absolute dominion so long as they have the mana or energy to support the domain.
Once created a domain gives the user the authority to give orders or otherwise assume control of all forces within the domain, imposing law or chaos as one wishes. The very laws of physics can be manipulated allowing the user to alter the physical laws of their domain to fit their needs. Divine beings can even be rendered powerless and even imprisoned when trapped inside another’s domain. Once created the user can turn every mortal being inside into their puppets. More advanced users can affect bigger areas and control contents inside more precisely.

[Would the host like to create a domain?]
‘Wait how long have I been able to make a domain?’
[Since you became a demigod.]
‘Then why didn’t you tell me about it?’
[You didn’t ask me. If you rely on me more then you’d be stronger but you seem to forget I’m here to help you so I stay silent and observe.]
‘Whatever create the domain already.’
[Say pretty please first.]
‘……’
[Say it.]
‘Please.’
[Pretty please.]
‘Don’t push your luck.’
[Very well my prideful host.]
[Analyzing records of host abilities and creating suitable a domain.]

As Zero was receiving the notifications from the system Hel shook his shoulder and ask, “Am I boring you?”
“Huh no I was listening you said…” said Zero as he trailed off trying to remember what Hel was saying as he listened to his system.
[She said that since your physical abilities can be increased enough to matter in such a short amount of time it would be better to focus on creating a domain. She also said you ‘d need to work on covering your body in a defensive barrier and increase the efficiency in which you use mana.]
“You said we’d create domains, work on defense, and mana efficiency right?” said Zero in an asking tone
“Hmm looks like you were paying attention. Well let’s start explaining what a domain is and how to create it.” said Hel
Hel then held out both her hand and produce 2 orbs of mana; a hazy light blue orb and a pale green orb that released cold air. She then went on to explain that the blue orb was comprised of general divine mana that all gods could use while the green orb was unique to her. She went on to explain that the color wasn’t unique to only her but this mana had special properties that not only came from her divinity but the frost giant bloodline she inherited from her mother. She explained that mana was like a fingerprint to every individual and only that mana could be used to form a domain. Due to that, her domain Nephilim had a very powerful freezing effect alongside its true main ability.
“Okay let me see your mana.” said Hel
Valna held out her hand and released an orb similar to Hel’s except hers looked like an orange and white flame that released no heat. Zero on the other than didn’t create an orb of mana he held out his hand and a purple dome that encased the area around them. Hel looked surprised as she looked around the area and stuttered to say, “T… ttthis is a domain. How… on earth…”
Domain Explanation:
Creation – The power to produce something out of nothing, either as finished objects or simply unfinished elements and substances. Higher-level users can create anything they can think of, whether conceptual or sentient. This includes the creation of energy, souls, and life of any complexity, dimensions or realities, stars, etc. The only limits of this ability are the user’s mana and imagination.
