Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2216: Stacking them

Once the realization dawned, my interest in all else waned, and I turned my full attention inward, focusing solely on my own domain.

The onlookers exchanged wry glances, but I paid them no mind.

Yet, they all found themselves compelled to retreat, sensing the potent divine energy I was unleashing. They understood the gravity of my undertaking and wisely distanced themselves, just in case.

With my domain fully manifested, I concentrated on the divine energy swirling around me.

Within this expanse, I diligently searched for a specific something.

After a period of searching, I finally located it.

"So, this is how it's done," I murmured.

With a mere flick of my wrist, a dagger materialized in the void before me. While it bore the appearance of any ordinary dagger I had conjured before, its difference was palpable to all who could sense it.

A distinct pressure emanated from this blade.

Following its formation, I surveyed the crowd, but no one seemed willing to step forward. It appeared they lacked the courage to accept the dagger I offered.

My intention was, after all, to find a willing test subject for this new weapon.

As no one volunteered, my only recourse was to summon a training dummy to gauge the dagger's true power.

This was no common practice dummy; it was a specialized creation by Max, imbued with his profound understanding of divine energy.

Integrated within it was a sophisticated sensor designed to precisely measure the force of any divine energy directed its way.

While not the ultimate method, it offered a tangible way to quantify the divine energy contained within the dagger.

However, the instant the dagger made contact with the training dummy...

"It's got a hole right through it."

Though the observation was painfully obvious, someone still voiced it aloud, breaking the tense silence.

It was, indeed, impossible to overlook the gaping aperture punched clean through the center of the training dummy by the dagger's passage.

This particular dummy was not easily destroyed.

Crafted specifically for testing divine energy, its construction utilized materials renowned for their resilience against potent divine energy assaults.

Yet, this dagger had sliced through it as if it were mere air.

The ease with which the hole appeared was akin to a searing blade melting through soft butter.

Even I was momentarily stunned by the dummy's swift destruction. Regaining my composure, I turned my attention to the monitor, eager to see the recorded readings.

Predictably, no data appeared on the screen.

It seemed the sheer force of the attack had completely overwhelmed and fried the dummy's internal measurement device.

A sheepish grin spread across my face, though there was little I could do now. The dummy was irrevocably destroyed.

Thus, my focus shifted to the dagger itself, which now hung suspended in the air.

It had halted its trajectory after piercing the dummy and remained motionless.

Remarkably, the dagger bore no visible damage whatsoever, not even a scratch, despite its passage through the formidable training dummy. Its pristine condition suggested the task had been laughably easy for it.

"This certainly addresses one of the weaknesses in my domain," I mused softly, though I knew the solution wasn't quite so simple.

While it compensated for my lack of raw power, forming the dagger demanded considerable focus and effort, making it far from effortless to wield.

The technique I had gleaned from observing Alidus' domain involved layering divine energy one upon another.

This might sound peculiar, but it was a straightforward application of the principle.

He had compressed his divine energy because his domain lacked specialized functions, a method that accounted for his astonishing speed.

However, the inherent differences between our domains meant we couldn't achieve identical outcomes.

In essence, Alidus' domain could be described as rudimentary, primarily enhancing his physical prowess. Consequently, layering divine energy placed minimal strain on him.

Its uncomplicated purpose facilitated effortless collection and deployment.

My domain, conversely, operated on a far more intricate level; conjuring objects from divine energy was an inherently complex procedure, necessitating far more sophisticated functions for creation.
