CHAPTER 1543: CHAPTER 329 ENTANGLED DESTINY

"However, even the demigods, who seem to have endless energy that they can absorb from the environment at any time, would basically collapse after sustaining that state for a few seconds," Mr. Pannis stroked his chin in thought, adding, "So I believe, that probably only deities who have mastered the power of rules and can strengthen themselves with the power of faith, have the ability to support that kind of consumption."

No one spoke, whether it was the young ladies from the adventure team or Flare, they all quietly listened without a word. The ladies knew that Mr. Pannis was once again sharing the precious experiences he had gathered over his lifetime, even at the risk of possibly incurring the deities’ displeasure. Naturally, the purpose was to help the ladies’ futures. Of course, from a common sense point of view, the chances of needing such experiences were slim, since in thousands of years, there had only been one person who made use of such knowledge. Nevertheless, being prepared was always good—no one could say for sure whether someone among the ladies might have the opportunity to use this experience in the distant future. Thus the ladies carefully committed to memory every word Mr. Pannis said, feeling a premonition that this might be the last time he shared his experience with them, which is why he chose such an important piece of knowledge.

"Are you done? Are you satisfied?" Denia sighed and said, "To put your mind at ease, I’ll tell you directly—the inherent psychic domain is indeed a prototype of the Divine Kingdom. When we created you, we used our own state as a template, which is why you also have the chance to awaken your own domain. However, you cannot withstand such a massive consumption of energy, which is why you have to rely on this world. It’s an adjustment that arose from yourselves, and it has nothing to do with us. When a mortal has a deep enough understanding of the rules and possesses enough power of faith, the power of rules will naturally mold a divinity for him, and the concentration of the power of faith will naturally grant him enough strength to separate his domain and form a Divine Kingdom like the one inside. So, you don’t have to worry about them, worrying is meaningless. If the conditions are met, they naturally have the opportunity to take this step. If the conditions are not met, even if they know everything, they will not be able to take that step."

"So, what I’ve guessed, it has no real significance then?" Pannis said with a wry smile, "Even though it’s correct, it won’t be of any use?"

"Of course not, there’s still a counteractive effect," Denia shook her head, "For example, when you’re trying to strengthen your domain to break free from the bindings of the Yarran World, you’re actually reinforcing your understanding of your own domain. And you don’t need me to tell you what the domain represents, right?"

"Right," Pannis nodded, "It represents our understanding and mastery of certain rules and concepts."

"So, every successful attempt will allow you to have a deeper understanding of the concepts you’ve experienced," Denia said, "You see, it’s not without its uses. Though it is not decisive, it still serves to exercise and strengthen. Moreover, you really didn’t need to tell them this. You certainly had the opportunity to need this method of training, but as for them... "

"They don’t have the opportunity?" Pannis’s eyebrow twitched as he asked in an even tone, "Or is it that they won’t need it? Why would I have the opportunity to use it?"

"Are you trying to glean my words again? Actually, I didn’t tell you before for your own good. The people from your original group and the people now, haha." Denia gave Pannis a teasing smile, slowly walked up to him, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Eh, of course not, haha," Pannis’ eyebrows jumped again as he chuckled, "How could I possibly want to do such a thing, hahaha."

"I don’t think you dare," Denia said playfully with a wink, "As for you, Mr. Pannis, both you and your inherent psychic domain are bound to be entangled with the Grimreaper’s System, it’s unavoidable."

"Although indeed my domain is the battlefield from those days," Pannis said with a wry smile, "But that doesn’t make it definite."

"Don’t you believe it?" Denia hummed lightly, "Do you remember what your name means in the ancient language? Haha, repentance, Mr. Pannis. Now, think about what your domain signifies. Do you still want to disentangle yourself from the Grimreaper’s System? Of course, it’s not impossible—you just have to choose to fail on purpose."

"Cough cough cough," Pannis coughed a few times, his expression suddenly became serious as if nothing had happened before, and said earnestly, "After verifying that the domain is indeed the prototype of the Divine Kingdom, I did some other things as well. That can also answer your question and explain why I’m so proficient."

Pannis could clearly feel that in the void, many peculiar eyes were fixed on his back, while the gaze of Denia, within Lina’s body, was fixed on his face. The goddess watched Pannis intently for a while, gave him a meaningful pat on the shoulder, and said, "Child, over the millions of years, I’ve seen countless lives, encountered innumerable mortals, but someone as shameless as you, who shifts the topic at the first disagreement with such a poor method, and still acts as if it’s only right and natural—I have never met before. I must admit, you’ve successfully refreshed our perspectives of mortals."

"Thank you for your praise, it’s my highest honor," Pannis placed a hand over his chest in a bow, then suddenly let out a cry of pain, "Ouch ouch ouch, Catherine, stop that, my back."

"Nobody is praising you, damn it," the knight girl lurking behind Pannis withdrew her punishing finger, covered her face, and said in a low voice, "You’d better rein it in a bit, don’t go too far in front of the gods."

"Alright, alright, I admit my mistake, I’ll talk about serious things," Pannis said with a look of aggrievement, "After successful experiments, I’ve repeatedly experimented many times. Each time I entered a state of being free from the bindings of the Yarran World, I attempted to familiarize myself with methods of fighting in such a state, which is why I’m so fluent in how to fight in such a space."

"Indeed, chances only come to those who are prepared," Denia nodded in approval, speaking softly, "It seems that you have always been prepared to face Danacus again, haven’t you?"

"Can’t be sure," Pannis smiled, shrugged, and said, "But given the chance, I would never let him go. So I always need to be ready for every factor that could affect the outcome of a battle, don’t I?"
