Aphrodite's stats appeared before Su Luo, and her Attributes were quite high. Her Main Attribute, Spirit, could easily defeat Su Luo.
According to the Appraisal, she is a [Boss] level being.
Monster quality is categorized as [Normal], [Elite], [Boss], [Lord], [Hero]...
I don't know if there's anything more to come.
Monsters level 0 to 5 are generally [normal], a few are [Elite], and very few are [Boss].
Monsters level 6 to 10 are generally [Elite]... very few are [Lord]. All of them have been upgraded by one quality level.
The same pattern should apply to levels 11 to 15; they are generally [Boss], with the highest possible rank being [heroes].
To this day, Su Luo still hasn't fully grasped the specific meaning of this quality. It's somewhat related to combat power, but not significantly; she feels it's more closely related to potential.
The Heartfire, under Aphrodite's Authority, quickly obscured her connection to her true self.
That's right, Aphrodite currently just a projection; her true form is still within the [Divine Court].
Before fully transforming from a [Star Master] to a [Star Lord], even with a legion of gods spreading their power, their influence would be immense after leaving the world. They could only choose to project their presence, and might even need to rely on a [Veil].
This is also one of the reasons why Su Luo took the initiative to confront her.
"[Scholar]!"
Aphrodite frowned, feeling two forces raging within her, greedily absorbing her divine Divine Power.
A vast and boundless force, encompassing all laws, continuously iterates and grows stronger through absorption.
Another domineering aura settled in, suppressing everything and firmly Sealing the flow of her Authority.
Her projection's Main Attribute is only [33.5], primarily intended to extend the Authority the [Goddess of Beauty]. Now that it's been obscured, what's the point of playing?
"Give him an arrow."
Aphrodite's voice was slightly cold.
Her attendant Eros drew back the [Bow of Lust and Affection] once more, aiming it at Su Luo's true form, which was now eight hundred meters away.
This time, the arrow was also a pink, flowing light, but it wasn't a physical effect; something similar to [Law] covered Su Luo's body.
If I had to describe it, it would be:
[Law—In Heat]
Su Luo: "..."
Xiao Luo: "..."
Without any distorted or exaggerated descriptions, the purpose of this arrow was simply to induce arousal, even making Su Luo feel a little swollen.
Skipping all the steps, the effect of [heat] was directly bestowed upon Su Luo, generating an indescribable surge of emotional power every moment, with [Lust] among the Seven Deadly Sins stirring within her.
My Heartfire.
The Authority of the [Goddess of Beauty] can produce many effects, such as [Charm], [Covetousness], and [Indulgence], which will also affect Su Luo.
"Is this how you use the Authority the Goddess of Beauty?"
Su Luo's Ten Thousand Laws Domain Diffusion outwards, instantly enveloping Aphrodite's [Sea of Foam].
He had already seen through part of Aphrodite's underwear.
The projection itself has no combat power; it is merely a vessel that carries the power of [Authority].
[Authority] is the driving force of the World Rules on the Faith Side, while [Law] used on the Mana Side is the declaration of the World Rules.
Beyond the world, both are fleeting appearances of the World Rules.
The conflict between Su Luo and Aphrodite is Essence a conflict between [Law—Suppression] and the [Goddess of Beauty]' Authority driving the World Rules.
[Law—Evolution] doesn't count, because that's not a claim to the World Rules.
This is Su Luo's own declaration!
Essence, it forcibly adds Su Luo's own Evolution ability to the location of [Law—Evolution].
As if I were personally leading the army!
As Su Luo operated the device, she suddenly began to think.
"The Essence of [law] is to define, proclaim, and delineate boundaries; it is a static, assertive declaration. However, [Evolution] is fluid. Does this claim Negation [law] itself?"
"Evolution and law are inherently incompatible."
Aphrodite looked closely at the Scholar, but seeing no sign of arousal, she was somewhat disappointed.
"Hey, it didn't work at all?"
Aphrodite gently stroked her golden belt, which then transformed into something of supreme beauty and purity.
[Love Domain Weaving]
There are always things in this world that cannot be described in words. Aphrodite transformed herself into the most beautiful thing in the hearts of all living beings, with a thousand faces and ten thousand forms.
Su Luo had seen this kind of appearance before in Large Dungeons, and was completely immune to it.
The Heartfire carrying the [Law—Evolution] continued to Burn within Aphrodite, Corrosion her Authority as the Goddess of Beauty, and even Evolution into a counter- Authority— [Ugliness].
What the hell?
Aphrodite was slightly taken aback, but without hesitation erased her own projection.
Where there is beauty, there is also ugliness. As the Goddess of Beauty, she naturally relinquished and severed the Authority of ugliness as well.
However, the Heartfire within her Evolution into the Authority of [ugliness], and the extent to which Evolution affected her sovereign Authority.
A single projection can die, but if the very foundation of the original entity is shaken, the losses outweigh the gains.
Only the seashell-shaped throne remained, slowly disappearing from its original location. The Sea of Foam was gradually devoured by the [Ten Thousand Laws Domain] as if it were about to perish.
In other words, Su Luo won!
Su Luo stood still, Ten Thousand Laws Domain Spread endlessly, catching up with the retreating legions of the subordinate gods and beginning a bloody massacre.
At the same time, the power of [Law—Suppression] landed behind Su Luo.
Vast numbers of Void Zerg materialized from the Void, only to be incinerated in droves by the Heartfire.
In a very short time, Heartfire adapted to the power of the [Void] and developed the insect-to-insect phenomenon in response to the [Field Resonance] ability. As many [Void Zerg] came, they all died. In just ten minutes, hundreds of thousands of them died.
The energy released from the burning was gathered and fell into Su Luo's Ten Thousand Laws Domain to aid its growth, and then continued to chase and kill the subordinate god legion.
The Suppression of superior combat strength was on full display in that instant. Not to mention those subordinate gods who were not at the level of [Demigods ], even [Demigods ] who were direct subordinates of the [Chief God] could only flee all the way.
The combat power echelons in an environment are generally not evenly distributed, but rather conform to the trend of economic models.
This is known as the Pareto Principle, which states that 20% of the population controls 80% of the wealth, or even more extremely, 1% of the population controls 99% of the wealth.
Isn't that too conservative?
In short, at least 95% of the world's resources have become stepping stones for the Chief Gods to ascend. No subordinate god can defeat any projection of a Chief God, even if that projection is outside the world.
Now that even the projection of the Chief God has been defeated, going up against them is no different from a little girl facing a strange old man; they can only fly away.
