Chapter 976 Physical Domain

"Urgh…" Draco coughed out a mouthful of seaweed and water. He groggily rose up and looked around with bleary eyes, realizing he was still on the deck of their ship.

However, around them was dark blue all over. It turns out that they were at the bottom of the sea, so deep that Draco couldn't even see the light from the surface.

It was quite eery and spooky down there in the dark, with high pressure water surrounding him on all sides. Apart from the soft glow of some deep-sea animals and plants, it was basically impossible to his left and right down there.

Thankfully, Control once again showed why it was one of the top abilities, even among Eternals. With it, Draco could easily sense the area around him without any issue.

As such, he could tell that the entirety of the core members group were still splayed all over the deck of the ship, looking extremely worse for wear. Draco checked and saw that just like him, Eva and Shuangtian were coming to their senses.

Draco sighed and smacked his head a bit to get his brains working. When Eva came to and acted as the usual command/communications center for the three of them, they shared their mental stamina and thanks to their various powers, the mental pain was eliminated quickly.

"How are we even breathing right now?" Shuangtian asked with confusion.

"The ships above Uncommon have anti-drowning runes inscribed and this one especially provides a short oxygen bubble for as long as the runes remain powered." Draco explained as he led Shuangtian to the side the ship and pointed down.

Shuangtian looked down and saw bluish runes glowing on the side of the ship, which had attracted some smaller deep sea fish to swim about. However, the runes were quite dim, which indicated that they had been out for a while.

Case in point, Draco opened up his guild chat to see that Elle had already closed her groundbreaking stream and even reported some interesting details about the center of the Demon Realm.

It seems that they had spent almost 2 weeks unconscious from RamButt's hate-filled terrorist attack. Speaking of RamButt, Draco looked over to the fellow who was snoring soundly while having a happy expression, clearly pleased from his evil actions.

Draco was filled with anger and wanted to smash the fellow into roadkill, but held back. Rather, he worked with Eva and Shuangtian to restore the minds of everyone and bring them back from full catatonia.

Once everyone woke up and recognized where they were, they were filled with awe. Then they remembered how they got here and righteous anger exploded within each and every one of them. They turned to RamButt who was standing there fearlessly with a nonchalant expression on his face.

Immediately, the core members began cracking their knuckles and walking over, about to put the fellow to bed for good. However, just as the first person was about to strike, RamButt suddenly raised a hand and roared.

"WAITT!!!"

Everyone paused, wondering what the fellow had to say to save his dog life.

RamButt simply lowered his hand coolly and looked at the entire crowd slowly with a deep scan. Then he smirked slightly and spoke in a mocking tone:

"Hehe, no matter how you beat me, I've won! You can never get back this year's Valentines Day, and even if you try to re-do it, it will not feel the same! Enjoy not being able to enjoy that day like me, hahahah!"

At the end, the fellow couldn't hold back anymore and burst into uproarious laughter. He was full of joy and glee at his evil actions, and this caused one's heart to feel a bit of apprehension.

As for the core members, their faces went pale, especially those of the couples. Their eyes became bloodshot with hatred and killing intent, and they rushed over to RamButt to tear him apart.

They beat the fellow within an inch of his life, restored his health and then beat him again. Unfortunately, it wasn't as therapeutic as they had hoped since RamButt laughed throughout the whole ordeal. This which served to infuriate his assailants further as they wished to hear him scream and beg, yet he never did.

Eventually, everyone could only give up and let him go, because they had vented their anger to the point of seeing that it was pointless to continue any further. Now, the next issue was to ascertain where they were and decide their next move.

"Alright, those who have water related abilities or those who can survive and move through water, as well as even fight in water, stand to the left. Those who cannot do so, stand to the right." Draco commanded.

The core members shuffled about, there was naturally a huge disparity between the right and the left side.

On the left, there was Omegaraider, Kronalord, Cold Summer, Ghostpro, Warm Spring, The Showman, Hades, Hunter101Bomber (Austin), Loving Aunt and Essence Stalker. The rest were on the right.

Draco looked over to the group on the left. Omega and Krona were obvious since they represented the two strongest underwater beings, and Cold Summer was fine because he had a Legendary water-related class, further aided by the Water Element Golem from Shuangtian.

There was also Loving Aunt, who had the Blue Water Adder which was one step below the Leviathan. After sacrificing her Dark Swamp Serpent, it have evolved into a Blue Sea Serpent. Her compatibility with the sea should be obvious enough.

However, Ghostpro, Warm Spring, The Showman, Hades, Hunter101Bomber (Austin) and Essence confused Draco slightly. Seeing his expression, Ghostpro took the initiative to explain.

"Orochi's Sevenths head allows me to swim and survive in the water with ease. Besides, the fellow is a Hydra, making him one of the water based serpent types." Ghostpro stated with a shrug.

Well, that made sense. Draco then turned his head to the rest, who were all God Serpents. Essence smiled, and pointed to the rest.

"We're God Serpents." He said simply.

Draco blinked. "Uh huh? And does God Serpents make you able to do everything?"

"Only everything a serpent can do." Essence Stalker shrugged.

Draco was about to ask what a serpent could do when he realized that he already knew. Obviously, most serpents could swim with ease, some even remaining submerged underwater for long periods of time.

Uhh, no wonder the God Serpent fellows stood to the left. They could remain underwater and fight using their skills, but might need to surface infrequently to replenish.

They weren't like Loving Aunt and those before who had infinite breathing capabilities underwater. As such, Draco rolled his eyes.

He then opened his Inventory and tossed everyone a glowing blue potion that looked like flowing seawater.

?Underwater Breathing Potion – Consumable

Rank: Legendary (100% effectiveness)

Effect: Grant any non-Marine based lifeform the ability to breathe underwater naturally permanently without causing physiological changes.?

When they saw the effects, the eyes of the core members lit up and they directly down the bottles at once. A blue glow lit up on their bodies and passed through them from top to bottom.

They knew that hadn't changed much physically, but now, it seemed like the water that surrounded the barrier of their ship no longer intimidated them at all.

However, this was only the first step.

"Now, some of you have class based abilities that might work in the water and some of you have bloodline abilities that will do same." Draco began while pacing back and forth.

"But the fact of the matter is, the majority of you can't fight underwater. There's a simple solution to fix that." Eva continued snapping her fingers.

Nothing seemed to change about her on the surface, but the expressions of all the core members changed as they were filled with shock and wonder. They were clearly able to see something different about Eva at this moment.

"That's right, you have seen it. I have applied my Tier 5 Void of Perfection to manipulate the atoms around me to form a physical domain." Eva stated with a smile.

This shocked the core members even more, because while they could sense it with their own passive and active Control, they hadn't been able to full understand what they were seeing. Even though Eva made it sound easy, it definitely wasn't.

From Tier 4 Control, you could see into the Atomic Realm with your VoP, but to move things in there was a different story altogether.

Even at Tier 5 Control, where Draco and Eva could not peer into the Quantum Realm, controlling atoms like that was only slightly easier.

"Don't worry, Eva hasn't used anything but the average power of a Tier 4 Control user and her enhanced body. No bloodline, no higher tier Control, no other passive or active abilities to boost its effectiveness." Draco reassured them with a smile.

"Now open your minds and let me transfer the basics of this ability to you. Then you'll spend the remaining time practicing to apply this technique, and then we'll move out from here." Eva concluded.

The core members didn't hesitate to free their minds, and soon they felt an inflow of information burying itself deep within their subconscious. When they acted on it, they realized it was the key details and methods to activate the physical domain Eva displayed just now.

What shocked them was the fact that this method did not drain too much mental stamina, at least not at their level of Control and not with their current power and prowess.

They could definitely keep it up indefinitely as long as they did not burn too much energy at once!

And the idea behind it frightened them. For the most part, the VoP was a spiritual and mental domain that had no physical characteristics. It was purely sensory based and allowed for the application of many mental abilities to be super powered and augmented.

Like Subjective Magic, Shadowheart's Source of Magic, gathering External Energy and more.

However, this… 'technique' would allow one to condense their mental and intangible domain into a tangible and physical one. Within this, one could use their abilities to fight freely and do many things.

On the surface, it had not too much use, but here underwater, it could instantly create a small space of air that would allow one to move without being slowed by the water and its pressure this deep.

And now, it could also instantiate physical abilities, like the famous dimensional slash:

Person A slashes his sword in front of him, and he is 100 meters away from you.

Apart from looking like an idiot he had done nothing else.

However, a small gap in space opens up beside you, and the slash he made 100 meters away cuts across your body that is standing at your current spot with no time delay.

This kind of ability required high attainments in Space, but could be achieved using the method of physical domains. This was what they had just been taught.

Of course, the energy consumption and requirements between using the physical domain to create a suitable environment to fight underwater and to manifest physical attacks were like the difference between using a bucket to fetch from the sea and using a planet-size basin to do same.

It was extremely unlikely that even if they supplemented with bloodline abilities or class abilities that they could make use of such a thing. So really, this thing only had a use underwater like this, but as they grew stronger, they could whip it out in battle.

After all, for an enemy, there was nothing more terrifying and fearsome when your opponent whipped out their 20-inch dragon-tier, empire state building high and nile river long donger called 'dimensional slash' because you know your booty called 'being alive' was about to be changed forever.

When the core members satisfactorily learned this ability, they began to practice for the next 30 minutes, and even the slowest person grasped the ability to a strong extent.

Now, the group was ready to head out into the deep sea and carve a path of blood to their goal!
