Chapter 280: The Alternative Usage Of Order Authority
[Your Order Authority had gained several new abilities and usages after it reached above 10% Authority.]
[It was no longer limited to just imposing rules and orders upon reality. You could even deprive the concept of Order within any civilization or area.]
[The principle of that was similar to depriving warmth from the world. It naturally would cause the world to be colder.]
[In this case, you could deprive order from the world. If order were deprived, chaos would naturally become prominent.]
[When chaos surpassed order and no longer maintained the balance, the world’s destruction would no longer be that far from occurring. Calamities and disasters would appear more frequently, and living beings within that world would become more irrational.]
[Even if you didn’t directly destroy a world, just depriving it of order from that world would put that world’s lifespan on a quick countdown.]
[’The Order Authority is truly powerful. If I reach a sufficient authority percentage, it would even be the greatest weapon against those civilization-type enemies.’]
[’For example, there are those alien civilizations that can harness the power of the stars or even an entire galaxy. I might not be powerful enough to defeat them, but if I were to deprive order from them, they’ll soon plunge into chaos.’]
[’For a civilization to reach such a high level in the Kardashev scale, it’s mostly due to them being united and orderly, ensuring that each action is efficient and will utilize the best course of action.’]
[’But if Order is deprived of their civilization, they’ll have likelier chances of infighting and conflict. It would eventually lead to them collapsing from within, without even requiring me to destroy their civilization.’]
[’Using this method, the Order Authority is far more useful against civilized and orderly races, which I can take advantage of to destroy them from within. In fact, this method is not much different from causing chaos to them.’]
[Thinking of this, you realized it wasn’t much different from possessing the Chaos Authority.]
[If you thought about it, it was quite similar to if an Authority Holder possessed the Life Authority.]
[With the Life Authority, they could naturally control life. If they deprived others of the right to live, wouldn’t they die?]
[At that point, the Life Authority would have similar effects to wielding the Death Authority. If using the Life Authority could cause the deprivation of others of their life, then practically, it wasn’t much different from possessing the Death Authority.]
[Your usage of Order Authority was similar to that in essence. If you used it in a roundabout way, its effects were not much different from possessing the Chaos Authority.]
[It was debatable which high-grade Universal Law was stronger. The Universal Law of Chaos naturally preceded the Universal Law of Order.]
[However, just because it existed earlier, it didn’t mean it was stronger. At least, in your case, you valued Order more as its usage was consistent and there weren’t any downsides in mastering it.]
[You haven’t fought against anyone who possessed the law fragment of chaos. Due to this, you couldn’t determine if your Order was stronger or the universal law of chaos was better.]
[As for your Boundary Authority, improving its law fragment percentage didn’t really bring any new abilities.]
[At most, the increasing authority percentage allowed your Boundary Manipulation to possess greater quality and could affect deeper things in reality.]
[After all, what the Boundary Authority could do, your Bloodline Magic: Absolute Boundary could probably do it as well. The only difference was that increasing your Boundary Authority had also decreased the energy consumption of high-end usage of Absolute Boundary.]
[For example, the Boundary of Motion and Stillness might be a low-end usage of Absolute Boundary and wouldn’t cost much, but the Boundary of Existence and Nonexistence was different!]
[The Boundary of Existence and Nonexistence allowed you to decide what could exist and what could not. Naturally, the usage energy cost wasn’t low.]
[But with the improvement of your Boundary Authority to 12.035%, the cost of erasing a world from existence was much less.]
[For living beings and objects that didn’t hold much weight, you could even make their existence disappear for no cost!]
[If it were those weak people in the real world, you could just snap your fingers, use the Boundary of Existence and Nonexistence, and they would disappear from your sight, no longer existing in the world!]
[As a rule-based ability, it was just that outrageous! It was for this reason that you focused on comprehending these two Authorities.]
[The help they could bring you in both the simulation and reality was immeasurable. For these two Authorities, you naturally wanted them both to reach 30.001% Principle, choosing the two of them to be your main Principles for fulfilling the advancement requirement to Starlight rank.]
[As for the Multiplication Authority, you mostly comprehended it on your free time, especially when you noticed that your comprehension of Order Authority and Boundary Authority slowed down.]
[Compared to Order and Boundary, the Multiplication Authority was only a mid-grade Authority.]
[Unlike Order and Boundary, which were mostly unowned, you noticed that other Authority Holders held some percentage ownership of the multiplication law fragment.]
[After all, multiplication wasn’t as difficult to comprehend as Order and Boundary. Not to mention, some abilities were related to multiplication, and when comprehended, they could naturally allow someone to comprehend even a 0.001% Multiplication Authority.]
[Those abilities that could "amplify" and "boost" were just derived abilities under multiplication. Because of that, those powerhouses who learned such abilities would be able to come into contact with the Multiplication Authority and own enough law fragments to develop an authority.]
[Since the Multiplication Authority wasn’t that difficult to comprehend, the competition for its ownership was naturally greater than Order or Boundary.]
[It was to the point that when you had used Hint Prompt, you discovered that a Mid Starlight rank powerhouse had owned 37.821% Multiplication Authority!]
[’Sigh, if I want to comprehend the Multiplication Authority and sublimate it to a Principle, I will eventually clash with that Mid Starlight rank powerhouse.’]
