Chapter 442: Cannot Be Mentioned
In this world, there were an incredibly large number of organizations that had come into contact with Evil Gods.
Organizations on the level of the Fading Lamp Society might already seem remarkable to ordinary people, but on a global scale, there were simply too many to count.
Even within the small Kingdom of Order, most provinces had their local powerhouses.
Among those local powerhouses, a considerable number possessed Mithril Rank experts. That was also why Ye Qian had repeatedly clashed with enemies of that rank so far.
But in the end, while Mithril Rank had crossed the threshold into becoming powerful, it could at most be considered tactical deterrence.
Some smaller forces had Black Iron as their strongest members, or did not even possess Black Iron. When facing an organization with Mithril Rank members, they would feel utterly powerless.
But... that sort of helplessness could be avoided.
When facing a Mithril expert, there were all sorts of ways to escape. You could even spend money on low-level anti-divination items to resist a Mithril expert's search. If you were willing, you could find ways to deal with them.
No matter how formidable Mithril was, it was not so rare that one could never encounter it. Many could be hidden within provincial capitals. Even excluding The Holy See and official forces, some major cities could have more than ten Mithril Rank experts.
But if it were a Holy Spirit Rank expert, things would be completely different.
That was why, after Vier reached Holy Spirit Rank, Ye Qian instantly gained confidence. She even dared to bare her fangs at that Abyss in Mel World and take the initiative to explore its depths.
Tactical deterrence had become strategic deterrence, comparable to a nation developing an atomic bomb.
