Chapter 1118
The authority of Predatory Assimilation, the true nature of which still remained unclear, ravenously consumed even the very pillars that made up the world.
After manifesting the form of the world’s laws as a massive gear system, it devoured the twisted cogs and purged them. It then rapidly recalibrated and restructured them before reapplying and releasing them.
The enhanced authority of Predatory Assimilation had reached a state where it could arbitrarily adjust and re-release power. Precisely speaking, it was only possible because it catered to the world’s laws specifically. Even so, the fact that it could officially interfere with the rules of the world was nothing short of astonishing.
Unfortunately, it seemed things were never destined to be so simple. The deeper Davey went, the less he was able to rely solely on brute force.
They may have looked like ordinary gears on the surface, but they were massive clusters of information far beyond the comprehension of any single sentient being. Even after attaining divinity, his mind couldn’t yet grasp such a realm.
Under such circumstances, trying to piece together broken information; infer the original; and rebuild it from scratch was nearly impossible.
The only reason Davey was able to manifest the original form—or at least something similar—was thanks to the characteristics of the power of the Origin Throne and the authority of Goddess Freyja within him.
Davey was certain that the reason people like Evangeline and Grand Duchess Kathryn had their minds twisted was due to malfunctioning gears leaking the power of Goddess Freyja. That made it extremely important that Davey reconstruct the gears into their original forms as quickly as possible.
However, there wasn’t enough information. Realizing as much, Davey turned his head. Even from the start, he’d been under no delusions of handling such a thing alone. When trying something alone doesn’t work, one has to quickly cut their losses and bring in a specialist.
If the authority of Goddess Freyja was the key, Davey wasn’t going to hesitate to use it.
Sensing his intent, Rho Aias used her unique magic Soul Link to create a connection between Davey, herself, and all the heroes waiting in the Hall. Each of them held a fragment of the authority of Goddess Freyja. If they all combined their abilities, they could overcome this trial. After all, with the power of friendship, all things are possible.
After all, the Goddess herself had said that this wasn’t something she could fix alone. She needed the help of Davey and the heroes. There was no way Davey could resolve it on his own simply by struggling through.
