"What have you done? Why can't I use the power of Laws?"
High Priest was was shocked. He realized that he could no longer manipulate the power of Laws. The only abilities left were the earth-based powers he could control in the past and the incomplete Six Paths power, which left him utterly bewildered.
As a Magic God, he was transcendent beings beyond the world, favored by the world and able to use the Laws of the world.
But now, unexpectedly, he couldn't use it. It would be strange if he is not shocked by this.
"The drawback of you Magic Gods' existence is too significant. In essence, your strength doesn't come from your own training, but merely a gift from the world. After this power is removed, your strength can be regarded as galaxy level at most."
Asahi said lightly. Explaining that aside from various miscellaneous Laws and other factors, the remaining power of Magic Gods was merely on the galaxy level. Of course, this didn't mean they had the power to destroy a galaxy, only that they could handle a portion of it.
Strength is not solely about destruction. A powerful individual capable of exploding a galaxy might be rendered useless against a particular opponent.
For instance, High Priest's incomplete Six Paths power was not the same as the Six Paths power in the Naruto world, as it was far more advanced.
High Priest himself could not destroy an entire galaxy. At most, he could only destroy planets, this is the limit that can be achieved under brute force.
However, an individual capable of destroying a galaxy might not necessarily be his match. Although they might be categorized as galaxy-level, it doesn't guarantee equivalent destructive power. Destructive power doesn't equate to overall strength, and strength doesn't equate to destructive power.
Characters like Goku from the Dragon Ball world, despite being powerful at the universal level, are not necessarily at the galaxy level.
When facing someone like High Priest, even if the latter lacks the ability to manipulate world Laws, he can easily outmaneuver and defeat characters like Goku.
It's because characters like Goku are often portrayed as beings who focus solely on training strength and lack understanding of other realms and tactics.
Moreover, the opponent doesn't even need to exist at the level of High Priest. As long as they are a master of poison, they can easily kill Goku, as long as the methods are cunning enough.
"Interrupting the Laws of the world? What a thought-provoking technique. I am not your opponent, I surrender!"
High Priest decisively expressed his surrender. He realized that facing someone who can disrupt the Laws of the world, killing him would be as simple as killing a dog. So, it's better to surrender immediately.
High Priest's decisive surrender left Asahi somewhat speechless. However, he didn't continue to take action.
Although these Magic Gods generally harbor ill intentions, from a rational perspective, Asahi didn't find it suitable to kill them. Besides, if these guys were to be pushed to desperation, who knows what hidden tricks they might have.
There's no deep-seated hatred or grudge between him and these Magic Gods, so there's no need to engage in a life-and-death struggle. Sometimes, it's more practical to keep a deterrent force rather than unnecessarily provoke a conflict.
And if he wanted to open the new world later, there's a high possibility that there would be two worlds, and they would be connected to A Certain Magical Index World. As long as it's not connected to world with powerful strength, the incoming entities shouldn't pose a significant threat, and these guys are more than capable of handling it.
Using them as gatekeepers seems like a good idea.
After High Priest surrenders, those Magic Gods, who were hiding, no longer concealed themselves. Instead, they started popping out one by one, each dressed more peculiarly than the other. They looked weird, creepy, and bizarre.
However, upon seeing Asahi, they all became very enthusiastic. Asahi rolled his eyes in response, realizing that these guys had developed extremely thick skin over the endless passage of time. At least when facing Asahi, they didn't seem to feel embarrassed.
Even those who had intentions of causing trouble moments ago fell silent now. It was as if nothing had happened. It's quite absurd.
After chatting with these Magic Gods for a while, Asahi returned to the universe. Once he left, the Magic Gods began discussing among themselves, and finally reached a conclusion. Don't provoke Asahi.
There's no conflict between them, and if they want to go to other worlds, they can negotiate with him when the time comes. As long as they don't cause trouble, it shouldn't be a significant issue. So they thought it was better to play it cool.
Asahi is now like a signboard. As long as he's around, those Magic Gods dare not to act recklessly, nor they dare to mess around with the current universe or the lives within it, particularly individuals like Mikoto and others.
If they were to harm these few people, their lives would probably be at an end. It's not worth it at all.
Asahi didn't care about these Magic Gods. As for how Aleister would deal with them later, it has nothing to do with Asahi. After all, he has become invincible in this world.
With pure strength, no one can compete with him, and that's already enough.
After returning to Earth, the war is already over. At this time, everyone was busy cleaning up the aftermath. The Orthodox Church was effortlessly destroyed, dazzling countless onlookers. This scene truly shocked the entire magic side.
Knowing that the science side harbors such hidden strengths, the magic side didn't dare to cause troubles.
In fact, to put it bluntly, they can be regarded as reaching the same goal by different routes, because the creation of Esper abilities originated from a magician.
This is just equivalent to a rather unconventional form of magic. When you compare them, Espers gain power through calculations, while magicians rely on study and training to acquire their abilities.
In the end, everyone's abilities are extraordinary. Simply put, there isn't much difference between a magician who uses fire magic and an Esper who controls fire, as they both belong within the realm of the extraordinary.
Once this realization is accepted, magicians can better understand the realm of science.
Of course, there are still those who remain scientific idiots, like the group associated with the Anglican Church. It seems that those connected with the Anglican Church are scientific idiots.
Otherwise, with Return of the Winged One having various scientific methods and even the Orthodox Church has come up with a lot of scientific methods, how can Anglican Church have nothing regarding science?
The Anglican Church seemed to completely disregard devices like phones. Even though these gadgets were highly advanced, they only used them for basic functions like making calls and sending messages. Other features seemed nonexistent to them, which was quite amusing.
But now, with the conclusion of the events in this world, it meant that a new world was about to open. As for the specifics of this new world, it would have to be seen after its opening.
For now, all Asahi needed to do is to wait patiently and, in the meantime, he would engage in training to become even stronger.
