Chapter 193 Divine Combat Part 1

Hel rushed towards Zero, grabbed his shoulders, and asked, “How on earth did you create a domain so fast!?”

“What do you mean I just did what you did and bam.” answered Zero

“What do you mean bam this is just impossible! I could understand if you manage to learn it within a week if I was couching you but to work it out yourself after just seeing it once is impossible!” yelled a clearly confused Hel

“Well I don’t know what to say I just did it so let’s move on already.” said Zero in his normal nonchalant manner.

“Let’s move on he says. Very well this seems to be a proper domain so let's find out what ability it grants you. It may not be an obvious ability like my domain so we’ll have to test many things.” explained Hel

“No need I think I figured it out.” said Zero as the ice and snow on the ground instantly melted and the desert-scape changed into that of a grassland.

“So it’s nature-based I suppose that makes sense looking at your daughter.” said Hel as she looked at the sight of Zero changing the scenery with ease.

However, within the next moment, a blue orb and pink orb formed and took the shape of humans as trees and vegetation sprouted from the ground. Hel marveled at the sight of Zero’s domain which wasn’t nature-based but rather seemed to be pure creation controlled by his imagination. She had seen Zero create soulless bodies before but this was different the man and woman in front of her were created with souls. Normally Zero used mana to forcefully create something but within his domain, there was no need for that if he want to create a living creature then it would come into existence.

“This is amazing they have souls and I didn’t even need to use mana to create them. What else can I make?” said Zero in an excited childish manner

[It is advised that you close your domain immediately.]

Zero didn’t argue or ask questions and did as the system suggested before asking, ‘Why?’

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

[Abilities within a domain don’t require mana to use but the domain does require divine mana to attain itself. The host’s mana is currently depleted from the sparring match and it is advised to replenish your mana first before playing around your domain.]

“Looks like you’ve noticed that maintaining a domain requires mana. Yeah once a domain is complete you can use your ability without using any of your mana as if you were in your own divine territory. If you look at your body you’ll also notice that your wounds have instantly healed. A domain basically brings you divine territory into existence temporally not only boosting your abilities but also basically making a diety invincible while they're within. I guess the best way to explain it would be to imagine how in video games the main character always has an overpowered mode or state that they can maintain temporarily. The only drawback is that a domain is that your mana will drain away before you notice it.” explained Hel

Just as Hel finished explaining an orange dome encompassed the area around them and they heard Vanla who had been quiet this entire time yell, “Yes I did it!”

Hel once again had a look of shock on he face as she looked up at the orange domain. Her lips twitched as she said, “This group is a bunch of monsters. I heard it even took the genius of battle Thor needed 3 days to form his domain and they did it within a few minutes.”

4 orbs of white flames appeared and started to draw in the sand from around the area around them. Moments later the flames took on Valna’s shape and the sand melted and formed a white armor and spear identical to what Valna used.

“So your domain is a combat type. These flame golems seem just as strong as Valna.” said Hel as she moved closer to the flame constructs

An excited Valna ran towards Zeo and excitedly said, “My lord please look upon my magnificent ability. With this power I shall defeat thy enemies swift….”

In the middle of her sentence the domain fizzled out and Valna fell unconscious. Luckily Zero managed to grab her before she fell to the floor. Hel was still observing the flame golems when they instantly chilled and disintegrated turning to dust.

Hel walked over when she noticed that Valna’s domain collapsed, “Looks like she ran out of mana. Well, we’re in her realm so she’ll wake… up…” but she stopped when she notice that the man and woman that Zero created with his domain were still around.

“What’s wrong?” asked Zero when he saw Hel stopped talking

“Why… why are they still here?” asked Hel

“What do you mean? I created them so of course, they’d still be here.” answered Zero as he tilted his head in confusion

Hel sighed as she saw Zero's confusion and explained, “Right now we’re in Valna’s realm so while we can use domains to make changes these changes are temporary. I could use my domain to freeze the world outside here and the ice would always be there but in another god’s space, it would melt the moment I released my domain. So the moment you released yours those 2 should have faded away moments later.”

Domain Explanation:

Divine Domain: Holy Flame Einherjar - In Norse mythology, the einherjar literally meaning "army of one", and "those who fight alone” are those who have died in battle and are brought to Valhalla by valkyries. In Valhalla, the einherjar eat their fill of the nightly-resurrecting beast Sæhrímnir, and valkyries bring them mead. The einherjar then prepare daily for the events of Ragnarök.

Valna’s ability creates 4 flame golem-like constructs. Once the skill is activated, 4 balls of white flames draw in matter from all around and coalesce in front of the summoner, which slowly shapes itself into a humanoid form until fully resolving itself into the shape of a person. Einherjars, though a cosmetic reflection of their creators lack any magical abilities and skills only holding the ability to endlessly regenerate and battle. They are able to mimic their summoner's overall appearance of weapons, armor, etc. The stats of these beings were otherwise the same as the user who summoned them.
