Chapter 1040 Just How High Is Your Affinity For Nether?
"Hmmm? You are telling me that the divine temple is behind these attacks? They are orchestrating these waves of apocalypse just to get back at you?" The draconian princess stared at Liam with her eyes narrowed.
Liam sighed and nodded. Of course, there were many things that he could start from but he decided to start with this.
Mainly because this was a flaw in his very foundation that was eating him up from the inside and also because right now, in this current situation, this was the most urgent issue that had to be dealt with.
Also, since he had already talked about this before with the dragon lady, he did not have to worry about any other repercussions.
"My nether affinity is high," Liam explained. "It is as high as my affinity for mana and I have no way to balance the both of them."
"Huh? If you can't balance them both if you do not have a method to balance them both, then why go behind both of them in the first place?"
"As a human being, you cannot withstand nether alone without mana so just give up on the nether and grow your mana core. When it concerns nether, you can simply keep using the basic skills if you please."
Liam shook his head. "It's not that simple. I need nether."
"Hmmm? Why? I have seen your party tricks. You don't need nether for that." The draconian princess was confused for a moment and then it dawned on her. "Do you mean that you don't have a choice?"
Liam remained silent.
"Wait. Just how high is your affinity for nether?"
"It's high."
"Brat. Stop it. There is no point in hiding something so basic from me. What did you think about me? A royal princess with the draconian lineage can't even figure out something like this?"
"Even without you telling me-"
With a contemptuous glance, she grabbed Liam's hand abruptly, and the next moment the woman's eyes widened in shock.
"You have… You have… How is this possible?"
Liam gave a rueful smile.
Still staring at him, the dragon woman gasped in realization. "So this is why you were asking me about the limit breaker fruit! Without that fruit… you would be as good as dead if you let this situation continue any further!"
"Oh!" She then once again gasped.
"Right now, there is nether in this world along with mana which means… you have already run out of time!"
"Your soul strength is high enough, and your mana core is established. Now you only have to be in the presence of nether before it starts to take root in your body and slowly mold it according to its will."
"You will become strong and powerful with two main energy cores in your body but at your strongest point, you will also become weak as your body is not built to handle this!"
"You will inevitably become a cripple and lose everything or worse, you will simply die."
Liam nodded. That was pretty much his hypothesis as well. The two of them then became quiet, each engrossed in their own thoughts. A heavy silence filled the air.
But a couple of minutes later, the draconian princess clicked her tongue loudly, shaking her head. "No. It's not possible. Even if all of this is valid, it is still not possible for that divine bitch to screw around with you so much."
"Why?"
"It's because she is too visible. She cannot manipulate something so huge, affecting the fate of an entire world."
Liam did not look convinced.
"Look here. I don't think you even understand what is happening to your world at the moment. What did you call these? Trials of the apocalypse? Waves of the apocalypse?"
"Yes?"
"Hur. Hur. Brat. You are unnecessarily complicating something simple." The draconian princess laughed. "What did you think? There is a grand scheme to test your world or something like that?"
"No! Who the heck do you think even has the time for that?" The woman continued laughing.
"Everyone in these myriad realms has their own shit to deal with! Why would someone care about a backwater lower realm? The only idiots who would care are other lower realms. Do you understand it now?"
Liam shook his head. All of this was completely out of his depth.
"Listen, brat. This big sister will make some basic things clear to you. When mana is infused into a lower realm for the first time, the entirety of that world will change."
"This change will give birth to several treasures and also several powerhouses."
"Mind you, these treasures and powerhouses are only something in the eyes of the lower realm dwellers. Even the lowest grade mid realm experts wouldn't look at these insignificant things."
"However, the lower realm dwellers wouldn't be that casual about it. Every single lower realm would have their own powerhouses who are dying to reach the next stage."
"These guys are the ones who want to gobble up your world and access all the newly formed treasures."
"And these waves or trials as you call them, are really invasions by these other lower realm dwellers wanting your resources."
"Your world is actively being invaded!"
Liam nodded. Even though he was shocked to see that there was this whole other perspective to how he or rather everyone in his previous life understood everything, he wasn't too shaken up about it. After all, there were too many things that he did not understand.
And for the first time, he had someone who could give him all the explanations. This was something that he sorely needed.
Liam clenched his fist and asked, "Okay. In that case, couldn't the divine temple high priestess be behind this invasion?"
"No. That would be rather difficult. If I am correct, currently you are being invaded by one of the nether type lower realms."
"Nether type lower realms?"
"Yes. Just like how your world is most attuned with mana and received mana infusion, some other worlds are attuned with other energies and are infused with their respective choice."
"Among these are the nether type worlds. And that bitch would never lower herself to take their help. She is a very proud cunt."
"Oh?" Liam raised a brow. What she said was logical but she did not have the full story. "I think you are wrong. She already took the help of someone like that."
"What do you mean?"
Liam then told the draconian princess about his whole encounter with the vampires and about the blood effigy that had almost killed him.
