The power of the Oath could only exert less than one-fifth of its effectiveness outside the prescribed range of the oath, which was a huge waste. However, Zheng Yichen could feel that if the Counter-Oath Power forcibly destroyed the accumulated Oath Power and absorbed the backlash produced from those accumulations, it could then display the full intensity that Oath Power should have.
Although it wouldn't reach one hundred percent or even surpass expected performance, outside the ranges of the oath, one option only had less than one-fifth of its effectiveness, while the other maintained at least an 80% performance rate. The difference was significant when compared.
Of course, if Oath Power was used within the execution range of the oath, there was no need to consider the above situation, as full strength would be directly exerted. To operate with Counter-Oath Power, however, the specific process was akin to "embezzlement," a misuse of public funds.
