Chapter 619 Absolute Domain.

There is a very short time between the time the tears heal and the time that another tear appears in the same place. This time became shorter as Soverick moved his spear faster and faster. But no matter how fast he reached, the Viper could always respond and defend itself. Light flashed around it as its sword clashed with an unseen enemy. From afar, it looks like the Viper is fighting with small random explosions occurring around it.

Soverick stopped and accessed the situation. His second move uses the law of space to attack except he doesn't attack from the physical world but through the law matrix. An attack in the physical world can be sensed even if it is with the law of space. But one needs to be a Sovereign of law with a seed of power to be able to sense an incoming attack from the law matrix. 

So his attack should have been unseen and undetected. The Viper should have been shredded apart but it was able to react whenever the attack gets close to it. Then it went behind sensing it. His swords disrupted the law matrix in the exact path of the unseen attacks so the attacks had to resurface in the physical world of manifestation. 

"This is tricky." He muttered.

The Viper is undoubtedly impressive. It reacted well and resolved the attacks appropriately. But Soverick is not discouraged. His attacks might have failed but he learned something about the Viper. He has learned that whatever the Viper is doing, it is not skill-based or natural. He decided to try something and clear the field. Some things are better seen with a white background for them to be able to stand out.

"Nullification."

His divine sense froze the world. His familiarity with the world allowed him to freeze momentum with his divine sense and absorb it into his pillars of momentum. The air froze and everything within it. The freezing spread out from him but it hit a barrier when it reached the Viper. Its six arms are moving again in a blur of speed. Whatever they are doing with the swords in their hands is stopping the nullification effect from affecting the Viper. 

The field of nullification effect extended beyond the Viper but it didn't affect it creating a bubble of motion within the frozen space. The Viper continued to move within the nullification effect. It only stopped when Soverick stopped using nullification.

It smiled at him and said, "Like what you see?"

"I do." He replied. "Your arms are very fast and it seems that you can control whatever it is that you come in contact with. What is your ability called?"

The lack of momentum in the surroundings made what the Viper is doing glaring to him. Those arms move too fast, almost instantaneously. It is partly due to a technique and has more to do with the way the Viper is manipulating world power. It has intricate and perfect control over world power on par with a Sovereign of law.

This control is similar to the domain of a transcendent but more evolved. It is just a step lower than the domain of origin gods but it is better than the control of normal Sovereigns. The Viper has reduced the area of control even further to be just within reach of its very fast arms so that whatever enters that domain falls under its control. So being near the Viper is very dangerous. It is what his intuition was warning him about.

The Viper grinned and said, "Good eyes. It is called an absolute domain. What do you think about it?"

It is not surprised or concerned that Soverick has managed to figure out what it is doing.

"It is not a bad idea. You were right. You are a wall that seems impassable. You can stop all attacks and subjugate everything you come into contact with. But your domain is not absolute. It is far from absolute." Soverick replied with scorn.

He can't help but be scornful because of the hubris shown by calling a domain absolute. The domain is merely better than a Sovereign's. It can't compare to that of an Origin God's. An Origin god's domain is not even absolute. So this domain is far from being absolute. But that is not the major reason why he is scornful.

He said to the Viper, "Let me give it a try."

He activated MIND OVER POWER and shot toward the Viper to engage in close combat. Six phantom spears appeared around him making a total of 7 weapons at his disposal. The 6 Spears rotated in sync with the spear in his hands to form a small domain of control. The two of them clashed and began fighting. They became a blur of movement with one defending and the other attacking. They are also evenly matched. His domain couldn't be overcomed by the domain of the Viper.

The threat of the absolute domain disappeared once he understood how it works. He is not a sovereign of law so he doesn't have perfect control of world power as they do. He is not even a titan of law so he should not have access to world power but his weapon gives him access to it. His eyes then manipulate the world power that his weapon grants him in the exact way that the Viper controls it to mimic its absolute domain.

The two of them began to tussle with the control of world power because it determines who wins this contest. It became a tug of war instead of a clash of blades. The flow of world power went to both sides several times but no one could hold on to it for long.

The nature of the absolute domain is based on a foundation of constant movement within a closed loop. It means that one cannot hold on to world power for too long but whoever is in control of it the most will overwhelm the other
