"I finally get it," the young man said. Within the cave, the interference from the outside world was not as powerful, allowing him to now gauge the strength of the locals in this world.
There are a total of six ranks of power known to the Humas race, although the sixth rank is only speculative, many in my race believe it to be real. We have:
- Dust (Hokori): They are the weakest of the weak, with six subcategories ranging from weakest to strongest: weakest category, weaker category3, weak category4, strong category5, stronger category6, strongest category.
- Ant (Ari): They have three stages:1) worker,2) soldier,3) king/queen.
- Giants (Juda): This is where things get serious. They are powerful creatures who, at the "Emperor" stage, can change and control the very world around them within a small area. There are three stages:1) lesser giant,2) pseudo giant,3) Emperor.
- Mountains (San): They pose hazards to those who walk on them, and their mere presence has a significant impact on the surrounding environment, forcing the world to adapt accordingly. The concept of mountains can be divided into three stages:1) Legend,2) Myth, and3) Titan.
- Calamity (Jaenan): These beings are incredibly powerful and have the ability to shape the world. When a calamity passes through a particular area, it can transform it into a beautiful forest, a gigantic lake, or even a massive lava pit, depending on the nature of its power. The presence of a calamity brings both destruction and great benefits. When a calamity passes through an area, it generates a tremendous amount of energy, leading to the formation of rare crops and minerals within that region. As a result, it becomes a haven for those who share a similar nature of power. The stages of calamities are divided into three categories:1) Demon,2) Devil, and3) Fallen.
The last stage is referred to as "unknown," and although there is only one known entity that is said to have reached that stage, it is believed to have been sealed. This raises the question of how the most powerful being on the planet could be sealed if it is truly the strongest. Some speculate that this rank of power also has stages, and the being in question had just reached that stage. However, this theory is not widely believed.
Even a beginning Juda Rank would swipe the floor using an entire group consisting of eight Ari: peak king stage. Similarly, when ranks increase, the power gap widens to a ridiculous level. The second strongest being in their world, who fought against the highest power, wasn't even at the Jaenan: peak devil stage yet. So, how was the highest power in the world defeated?
The most accepted theory is that there is a being even more powerful than the highest rank, but this being simply doesn't want to be known.
