Chapter 124 -124-Daniel’s Power
From Daniel’s point of view, it was simply staggering.
Just a single synchronized volley from his twenty Spirits of Skills had nearly drained the Emperor of Abyss’s entire health bar. The abyssal sovereign barely survived—only because of a last-second survival passive. Had it not triggered, he might’ve been slain on the spot.
Daniel stood calmly, expression unshaken. "Is that explanation satisfactory to you?"
At this moment, he indeed had the capital to act with arrogance.
Though he was merely Level 100—light-years away from the Emperor of Abyss’s terrifying Level 260—it was dangerous to judge him by level alone. The twenty Spirit of Skills at his command were not merely decorative. Combined with his devastating arsenal of God Rank Skills and high-level synergy, Daniel had already attained the qualifications to stand toe-to-toe with an apex predator like the abyssal emperor.
If there was a weakness in Daniel’s current combat configuration, it was his relatively limited toolkit. He lacked diversified means of continuous or adaptive damage. And right now, the Emperor of Abyss had retreated, merging his roots and tentacles deep into the abyssal forests that surrounded his empire. Within that terrain, the emperor could rapidly regenerate his HP using the ambient abyssal essence.
This kind of regenerative battlefield control was something Daniel couldn’t yet counter. Still, one strike was enough to send the intended message.
After all, being able to force a being of such caliber to activate their survival skill on the first strike was, in and of itself, a frightening declaration of strength. It sent a very clear message to all of abyss.
That’s all Daniel had come for—to issue a warning.
If the abyss continued meddling in the affairs of humanity... if they insisted on declaring war... then Daniel wouldn’t mind doing a bit of "cleansing" himself. He might not be able to slay the Emperor of Abyss just yet, but as someone who had reached the 3-star threshold, eliminating any of the Kings of Abyss was well within his grasp.
As the Emperor of Abyss slowly regenerated, the entire atmosphere of the abyssal palace grew tense—so tense it felt as though it might collapse under the pressure.
