Sanctuary

Biodata

Position in the Power Hierarchy

Advancement to Godhood

Life in Gobada

• Sanctuary beings cannot sustain themselves through divine power. To avoid starvation, they must serve a deity for residual divine power or hunt other living beings for food. 2 12
• Most Sanctuary residents survive by hiding in underground caverns and emerge mainly to hunt, fight, or follow a God-level leader. 5
• Gobada’s spatial barriers confine both Sanctuary and divine beings to a narrow region extending roughly one thousand meters above and below the surface. 2
• Sanctuary fighters are excluded from the Ice Prison Royal City’s mission hall; accepting missions is a privilege reserved for God-level members. 16
• In Ice Blade Squads, Sanctuary members serve as scouts, hunters, guards, assassins, and resource collectors while the God-level leader confronts enemy deities. 12 15

Abilities & Combat Capabilities

Law Comprehension

Sanctuary experts can study elemental Laws through magic, battle techniques, and personal insight. Comprehending a Profound Mystery is the foundation for advancing further.

• Saint-level battle techniques can preserve simplified versions of their creators’ comprehended Profound Mysteries. 6
• Mages with multiple affinities usually prioritize one attribute before expanding into others after reaching the Saint level. 4
• A Sanctuary fighter’s strength varies drastically depending on their Law comprehension; some only grasp a trace of a mystery, while others approach the threshold of Godhood. 11 14

Magic and Forbidden Spells

Sanctuary magi can cast destructive high-level spells, including Forbidden Curses.

• Dimension Blade is regarded as the strongest single-target Forbidden Curse at the Sanctuary stage due to its speed, controllable trajectory, and penetration power. 17
• Ordinary Sanctuary defenses cannot withstand a Dimension Blade; even the Forbidden Curse Water Curtain Firmament was cut open by one. 26
• Sanctuary necromancers gain a major survival advantage in Gobada through undead summons and their reduced dependence on physical food. 8 19

Martial Strength and Racial Talents

Sanctuary warriors and magical beasts can develop powerful bodies, speed, stealth, and innate abilities.

• Tiger-pattern Warriors possess exceptional speed and physical power, further amplified by their bloodline transformation. 5 8
• Magical beasts such as Spine-backed Iron-armored Dragons can combine physical strength with Law-based techniques such as Shadow Clones and stealth. 19 29
• Sanctuary-limit fighters can be formidable enough to dominate local regions, as shown by the Earth Violent Bear’s near-God-level Earth Pulse comprehension. 11

Soul Strength

Soul power is a decisive factor in Sanctuary combat, particularly against curses, necromancy, and soul attacks.

• A normal Sanctuary soul has a finite capacity for external soul energy. 18
• One Soul Gold Bead contains soul energy comparable to the combined souls of ten Sanctuary Archmagi, described as the limit an ordinary Sanctuary soul can bear. 18
• Exceptional cases, such as Soul Mutators, can absorb more than this normal limit. 19

Limitations

• Sanctuary beings are fundamentally vulnerable to divine domains and divine power, which form the main distinction between Gods and Saints. 20
• A Sanctuary fighter may participate in the killing of a weakened God, but defeating one head-on remains extraordinary. Barn’s group only finished the Skull-Eating Mantis after its domain was sealed, divine power depleted, and soul heavily damaged. 20
• Sanctuary-level combatants are often treated as expendable manpower by divine factions, particularly in resource conflicts and Royal City warfare. 12 39
• Even powerful Sanctuary experts can be overwhelmed by coordinated undead armies, elite opponents near the Sanctuary limit, or God-level interference. 19 36
