Chapter 1219: Clearing The Grey Rot 10
Most importantly, his also had a skill that allowed him to gain a spell, and he chose the Hellfire Rain that Draco possessed as an Abyssal Prime, but the Legendary version of it. Like a stealth bomber, or really just any bomber, Fitter Cleric stood with his hands behind his back as the area before him was loaded with explosion that caused the earth to tremble slightly.
When the flashes of light from the explosions illuminated his face one could notice the occasional hint of evil in his eyes that chilled one's heart.
Happy Saint stroked his thin, curly mustache with a smile as his deep blue eyes showed a hint of mirth and wisdom that could only be gained by living a long time and experiencing many things.
The formerly middle aged man was now reminiscent of a adult in his mid-20's after being rebuilt, emulating enough youthfulness that he seemed fresh while still carrying marks that displayed his maturity.

"What an interesting foe. Let's see how it fares against a swarm type approach?" Happy Saint mused to himself as he cast a skill.
｢Machine Army – Active skill

A wide portal opened up beside Happy Saint, that was round and silver in color. Unlike typical portals that were full of murky miasma that did not reveal what was on the other side, these ones perfectly displayed the other end like windows to another place.
From these portals, one could see a realm of endless silver and chrome, with skyscrapers, blue semi-translucent digital screens and displays, as well as hundreds of humanoid automatons.
When the portals opened, the automatons that were happily going about their daily lives suddenly displayed red eyes as they simultaneously turned their heads towards the portal, and then stoically began walking towards them.
Once they passed through and entered this side, their bodies seemed to shift slightly and become less high tech and more construct-like, but their red eyes remained.
Happy Saint smiled as he imbued the Law into this skill, which let the Golems he summoned use ambient Divine Energy to power their attacks. The first Golem to come out raised its right arm which morphed into a cannon. This cannon then sucked in ambient energy to condense into a white colored beam of power.
When it struck the Grey Rot, it actually had minimal effect since the Grey Rot was mostly immune to energy and digested it all rapidly, but a small portion of it was ruined by the attack.
The worst part was that the Golem simply charged another shot and did it again while walking forward, repeating this action over and over. As more Golems came out and joined into this volley of fire, the Grey Rot's consumption began to show signs of trouble keeping up with the rate of its destruction.
This alone would have been enough to grind out the Grey Rot since there was near infinite Divine Energy for the Golems to use, and even their thick numbers were not enough to deplete the rich Divine Realm which was thick with energy.
The Golems actually began walking forward until they entered the Grey Rot!
Once they did, the Grey Rot began to break down the matter that made them up, but this was something it could not do easily. As such, the Golems would walk more than a few meters into the Grey Rot while firing beams, then would lower their arms tiredly before exploding, releasing all their accumulated heat energy.
This explosion in the depths of the fog did much more damage than the external beams, and after the first one, many others exploded in a chain reaction while Happy Saint remained in one position, watching as endless automatons poured out of the portal, seemingly never-ending.
Outside of the range of the explosions, the Fire and Ice Twins, Jada and Jade, stood side by side.
The 10 years might have changed nearly everyone, but it was not enough to change these two lovely twins.
Jada was still a fiery-tempered shorty, being petite in height which was something Draco had bullied her in the previous timeline and wasn't something he intended to do any differently in this one.
The twin continued to have her hair in a bob cut while wearing red colored female mage robes that were up to her knees. In her hand was the Eternal Wand that Draco had crafted for her yet the current version was of the Divine Rank.
Meanwhile, Jade had not changed from being a placid and cool lady. Unlike Hera who was just perpetually calm and aloof, Jade had emotions, she just didn't and couldn't display them on her face, giving her a type of facial paralysis.
The Ice Twin's look were still the same, though now there was an air of… earthliness to her that was not there before. Whatever it was that had made her so cold, it had clearly thawed significantly and she seemed to have some light in her usually dull eyes. Just like her sister, she too held her Divine Rank Eternal Wand as she stood next to Jada.
"Hmm, this Grey Rot thing seems a bit lame if you ask me. It moves slowly, has no consciousness, and has no special traits." Jada complained with a deep look of disdain.
Jade shook her head. "I've already corroborated with the others and found that it possesses immense resistance to elemental and energy-based attacks, while physical attacks pose the most danger due to corrosion."
"Hmph! Let's party up sis, let me show you how fragile this thing is!" Jada was not moved and even snorted arrogantly, making Jade's lips twitch. However, like always, she complied and partied up with Jada, getting ready to deal with the Grey Rot together.
｢Name: Jada – True God
Level: The Law of Linked Fire (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Name: Jade – True God
Level: The Law of Linked Ice (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Linked Fire / Ice - Divine Law
Grade: SSS
Effect: This is a special Law that is based on the merger of two or more different Laws to form a complete whole. In this case, this is one half of a dual-elemental Law that pairs with the other half to form a complete whole that enhances the base effects of each Law by 100%. The other Law is <Linked Ice / Fire>.
Sources (Jada): Fire Extreme (Divine Class) + Synergy With Ice (Passive Skill)
Sources (Jade): Ice Extreme (Divine Class) + Synergy With Fire (Passive Skill).｣
As always, the twins did their things together and even their Laws were linked together, being of a rare series that the Divine Realm had never seen before. If players were counted under the factions of Origin Gods, then the Origin God of Fire as well as the Origin God of Ice would be overjoyed by Jada and Jade's existence as it would significantly advance their power.
The Fire and Ice Twins had perfect synergy since the beginning due to their biological abilities, but now their close bond was even supported by special Laws. Jada's predictive ability had only grown stronger in the game while Jade's Digital Affinity had manifested in its own special ways.
However, do you know what had grown the most? It was Jada's damage-dealing ability!
｢Machine Gun – Passive skill
Effect: The Fire Extreme's auto-attack magic can be fired at a rate of 15,000 attacks per second. The auto-attack does fixed damage of 2,000,000 and ignores magic defense.｣
Unlike Rina who enjoyed her flashy attacks, Jada didn't bother to use any active skills and simply raised her wand which had gotten any enhancements that boosted her damage, speed, and AOE of her auto-attack even further, her eyes lighting up with excitement as she shouted a phrase Draco had made her promise to use.
"BASTARD GREY ROT, SAY HELLO TO MY LIL FREN!!"
Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!
Like a gatling gun, Jada released endless car-sized fire balls that glowed with a pure orange flame which landed on the Grey Rot and then exploded majestically. The Grey Rot could not do anything to this fire since it ignored magic defense, and the Grey Rot's magical ability to dissolve elements was regarded as a form of magic defense.
Alas, Jada's ability did not ignore magic resistance or it would be too heaven defying, so even though the Grey Rot could not dissolve or weaken the fireball, the damage it received was reduced from the amount Jada should otherwise deal.
Still, in the face of 15,000 attack per second did it truly matter? No.
The Grey Rot was being pushed back faster than the eye could follow, and in mere seconds, the daily quota of 100 meters had been cleared by Jada.
Impossible!
Really? No, this was normal. Jada had always been the fourth in rank in terms of damage dealing, right after Draco, Eva, and Essence - at the time - but was now fifth with the addition of Shuangtian above her.
If you were to ask Essence to fight Jada, he would probably shake his head rapidly and refuse. Powerful fellows like Misery, Shadowheart, AP, Ghostpro, Akawhite, Omega Raider, and Krona would also look away, as if the sky was more interesting to them.
Do you think it's funny to be shot at by a fucking machine gun?
The Grey Rot would tell you that it certainly wasn't.
Jade by the side lowered her wand as she was initially going to cast some buffs on Jada while also releasing some powerful continent zone ice skills, but she no longer felt any need to. Her sister's machine gun style battle technique was still as unparalleled as when they were mortals.
99% of the World Boss raids that the core members handled during the ten-year period were carried by Jada and Essence in terms of damage dealing. Without these two, some of those top-tier World Bosses would have actually caused Umbra heavy losses.
Now, boosted by a Divine Law that was doubled with Jade in her party, Jada was even more powerful now. The Grey Rot simply had to retreat in her presence, while the shorty herself screeched with excited laughter, being the pyromaniac she was.
Silent Walker watched the explosions from the side as tendrils of darkness hissed and coiled around him, wearing a plain smile. He was still as suave and handsome as ever, looking like a clone of a certain actor who was famous in history.
The man himself was soft-spoken to the point of seeming mute, but as he was an A-list actor in reality, this naturally was the case. He just liked to save his words for the right moment, but he was still very expressive.
｢Name: Silent Walker – True God
Level: The Law of Devouring Darkness (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
｢Law of Devouring Darkness - Divine Law
Grade: EX
Effect: This Law is based on the ability of the Darkness Element to swallow all things, granting this ability to the user and anything they imbue it with. When attached to body, skill, or techniques, that entity becomes immune to the Darkness Element and reduces all negative effects, damage, and the like by a certain factor dependent on the law's strength.
