MIGHT AS WELL BE OP Chapter 1128: Cycle Of Reincarnation

Irene deactivated her ability, leaving everyone in a state of awe. She stood composed, her long crimson hair swaying gently in the wind, a subtle, satisfied smile gracing her lips, clearly pleased with their progress.

It felt as though Irene had received the most significant power-up among them all. The ability to resurrect someone from True Death was an astounding feat, one practically unthinkable for anyone except perhaps a legendary figure like Anthony. Indeed, such a miracle defied conventional understanding and bordered on the absolute, challenging the very fabric of existence.

Even Klaus, a being who surpassed the Planetary level, could not accomplish such a task. To revive someone from True Death, one would need to manipulate the Cycle of Reincarnation, an entity comparable to the River of Time itself. This demonstrated the immense power Irene had attained, her existence now touching upon realms once deemed unattainable, far beyond the reach of even the most powerful beings.

Furthermore, the capacity to revert beings to their prior state, including their powers, was extraordinarily potent. If the Angels she once struggled against were to attack her now, she wouldn't even need to fight back; her life-draining passive ability would simply absorb their life force. If she activated her Reversion ability, they would be reduced to any life stage she dictated, as if their very existence were mere clay in her hands, ready to be molded at her whim.

Consequently, her combat prowess had surged in tandem with her restorative capabilities, creating a perfect equilibrium that positioned her as both a savior and a terrifying adversary, depending entirely on one's perspective.

"Sigh, it appears the men were outmatched by the women this time," Collins remarked casually.

Mitchelle possessed the power to create and destroy elements, while Irene's own abilities were ridiculously formidable; each of them demonstrated overwhelming dominance within their respective fields.

"It certainly seems that way," Michael agreed, shaking his head with a faint, resigned smile at the astonishing power displayed by his wife and mother.

"With an ability like yours, you'll be a sensation in the Upper Galaxy," Collins commented, recognizing the immense value anyone capable of bringing others back from the dead would possess in any conflict or society. Such individuals would undoubtedly be highly sought after and fiercely protected.

"It looks like you'll need to be vigilant, Gramps, when you and Grandma arrive in the Upper Galaxy; someone might just snatch her away from you," Anthony added with a lighthearted smile, fully anticipating such a scenario given Irene's current exceptional abilities.

After all, Irene was now devastatingly beautiful. Her inherent gentleness, calmness, loving nature, and role as a healer made her irresistible. Who wouldn't fall for her, especially now that her power perfectly complemented her captivating presence?

"I'll simply obliterate anyone who tries, and get it done with," Collins responded with a shrug, his tone casual yet underscored by a clear, unyielding seriousness.

Michael turned to Anthony, a playful smirk on his face, and inquired, "So, have we reached your level now?" While every parent took pride in their children's achievements, Michael's paternal pride was still evident in his tone.

Anthony smirked in return. "Even if I imposed numerous handicaps, you would all still fall if you fought me together," he stated matter-of-factly, without a hint of arrogance, but with unshakeable certainty.

Michael raised an eyebrow. Anthony's tone conveyed that they stood no chance even if they united their strength, a notion that seemed preposterous considering their newfound abilities and immense power. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to dismiss it outright.

"You don't believe me, do you?" Anthony asked, a smile playing on his lips. Michael offered no verbal response, remaining silent, his gaze fixed on Anthony, awaiting further explanation.

"There are roughly two reasons why all of you would lose, but I'll withhold the first explanation for now," Anthony continued. With that, he activated his Authority of Severance, effortlessly nullifying every single ability they had recently acquired, performing the feat with an ease that made it appear almost insignificant.

"Feel free to attack me, with your Sword Intent or any other power you possess," Anthony invited.

Upon his words, Michael didn't hesitate; there was no reason to delay, as Anthony was clearly no ordinary opponent. Michael raised his hand, attempting to transform into Sword Intent, but nothing occurred. He immediately tried to summon his Concept of Sword, yet again, nothing manifested. The profound silence of his dormant powers was more deafening than any failure he had ever encountered.

"What did you do?" he couldn’t help but ask, astonished at the fact that he had just lost his abilities, yet he didn’t feel any different upon losing them; he hadn’t even known when it happened.

"It’s one of my abilities; I can sever your connection with your abilities, making it as though you never had them to begin with," Anthony stated as he didn’t go into intricate details concerning the Authority Of Severance, as though he couldn’t be bothered to elaborate further.

After a moment, Michael nodded his head in understanding; it made sense to him now, if Anthony had such an ability, then he could one-shot everyone from start to finish without giving them any opportunity to retaliate.

"It seems no matter how strong we get, you remain stronger," Mitchelle spoke as she shook her head, her tone carrying both admiration and a trace of disbelief.

"You said there were two reasons why you would win; what’s the first one?" Collins asked; although Anthony had said he wouldn’t explain it for now, he still asked, curiosity getting the better of him.

Anthony sighed as he shook his head, then began to speak, "The answer is related to Human Bloodline and their Grades," his words calm.

"Human Bloodline and Grades? Human Bloodline has Grades?" Collins asked as he arched an eyebrow, clearly confused by this revelation.

"I thought only Bloodline races like Dragons, Titans, and the rest possessed Bloodline Grades, which isn’t hidden knowledge to beings of our level," Irene couldn’t help but add, as this was the first time she was hearing something like this.

Anthony shook his head as he spoke, "Humans also possess Bloodline Grades, but it seems we barely have anyone with a Grade higher than the Low Grade everyone possesses," his words calm and low.

"Can you explain? From the very beginning, after all, we know literally nothing about the Human Bloodline and their Grades," Mitchelle spoke as she stared at Anthony; instead of going around and about on the matter, it was best to have him explain it once and for all.

"Hmmm... then I will just make it brief and short since there is nothing to really explain," Anthony replied as he touched his chin, wondering where to begin, his gaze slightly distant as though organizing his thoughts before unveiling yet another layer of truth.
