CHAPTER 330: CHAPTER330-DARK VOID DOMAIN

From Kogmaw’s perspective, any being capable of escaping from the Exile Plane could never be simple.

At the very least, Kogmaw was certain of one thing—his own strength was nowhere near enough to break free from there.

This realization made him take a much closer, more serious look at Daniel.

And to his surprise, he discovered that he could not see through Daniel’s strength at all.

Kogmaw did not have particularly refined perception abilities, but his battle instincts were razor sharp.

Those instincts told him clearly that the man standing before him was anything but ordinary.

"Because of some special abilities, I was able to leave the Exile Plane," Daniel said calmly, "but I cannot bring anyone else out with me."

"Besides that, there is something I want to ask you—what do you think of the Goddess of Gold & Silver, Aurelia?"

At that name, Kogmaw narrowed his eyes and, unusually, even set down the yak he had been devouring.

"You mean the Goddess of Gold & Silver, Aurelia? She is a god-level existence. What thoughts could I possibly have about her?"

"I only know her power has already far surpassed my imagination. I’ve been stuck at demigod rank for a very long time now."

"To think, twenty thousand years ago, our strengths were not that far apart. I don’t know how such a massive gulf has opened up since then."

As Daniel conversed with Kogmaw, he quietly probed his mind as well.

The reason Kogmaw was stuck at demigod was simple—he had not completed his ascension task.

[Demigod Advancement Ritual: Participate in a campaign against a Fake God and personally deliver the killing blow.]

[Current Status: Incomplete.]

Seeing this, a smile tugged at the corner of Daniel’s lips.

In his mind, a fitting idea immediately took shape.

He looked at Kogmaw with a cheerful smile and said.

"Kogmaw, my friend, let’s speak hypothetically. If I told you that a Fake God had just barely survived a strike from a true god—barely clinging to life, now left weak and vulnerable—what would you think of that?"

"You know well, even for a Fake God, enduring a blow from a god is no easy feat. Right now, that Fake God would be at his weakest."

Even before Daniel finished speaking, Kogmaw’s expression had already betrayed his interest.

He clearly cared deeply about such an opportunity.

Daniel noted the look carefully and felt a surge of relief.

There was room for cooperation after all.

If he was going to bring down the Heart of Flesh, then the more allies he had, the better.

In the following repetition, Daniel and Kogmaw spoke only briefly, yet still managed to establish a cooperative understanding.

But Daniel wanted more than simple cooperation—what he truly desired was valuable information.

Thus, in the repetitions that followed, he returned to Kogmaw again and again, each time probing with new questions.

Yet due to time constraints, Kogmaw never once had the chance to taste the dishes Daniel had prepared.

Unaware of this fact, he carried on, but if he had known, he would surely have felt more than a little frustrated.

...

After yet another cycle, Daniel’s footsteps had traversed countless regions.

His storage space now brimmed with rare and precious materials.

Without realizing it, he had already gone through over a hundred repetitions.

Within those loops, he had also gathered several particularly fascinating items.

For instance, plane cores—key objects capable of creating half-planes.

Daniel had acquired more than ten of them.

Put simply, he now had the ability to craft an entire plane of his own.

Still, Daniel pressed onward, repetition after repetition.

At last, he reached the ancient deep-sea portal and secured the treasure hidden within.

And after this long accumulation, he had finally gathered all the materials needed to synthesize the God Rank Skill [Dark Void Domain].

The power of this skill was immense, particularly effective against both matter and light.

[Dark Void Domain]

[Effect 1: Expand a domain, within which you become the absolute ruler.]

[Effect 2: Endless Darkness. Within this domain, no light can exist. All light-related skills are sealed.]

[Effect 3: Void Domain. All material substances within the domain suffer repulsion and are weakened to varying degrees.]

[Effect 4: The domain cannot fully suppress gods, but it can weaken their skill damage and restrict their ability usage.]

The moment Daniel read the description, his eyes lit up.

A God Rank Skill that could work even against gods—this was far from a loss.

No, to be precise, it was a massive profit!

With the Dark Void Domain, Daniel finally had a tool that could counter gods.

Just how effective it would be was still uncertain, but at least he now had options.

And as his own power grew, so too would the effects of the God Rank Skills.

Perhaps once he reached level 200, or even 300, he might be able to completely suppress a god.

Unknowingly, the sky was beginning to brighten again.

Daniel did not hesitate—he used Time Stream and entered yet another repetition.

When he reappeared before Milla once more, his gaze lifted toward the distant world pillar.

The World Pillar was far more distant than he had expected.

According to Milla, reaching its vicinity would take years of nonstop travel.

That’s right—even with someone like Milla opening portals tirelessly, it would still take years.

In the following loops, Daniel encountered many different civilizations, learning entirely new knowledge.

In a ruined Divine Temple, he even discovered a divine seat tied to the summoning domain.

This he did not intend to keep for himself, but rather planned to leave for Charlotte.

Charlotte was already a formidable summoner, and such a divine seat would be invaluable for her future growth.

And still, Daniel continued—repetition after repetition.

By the 138th loop, he had finally acquired another critical material.

[Millennium Nail]

[Description: Possesses immense binding power, able to fix a plane and its time in place.]

With this, Daniel at last possessed everything needed to synthesize another God Rank Skill—[Coordinate Lock].

Its effect was simple: upon activation, it locked his position, rendering him immune to all forced movement and displacement effects.
