[Two-Star Rank: Warrior-class]
The strength of Satan-class beings in this world's devil race. In terms of combat power alone, destroying armed cities and sinking islands is no problem.
[Three-Star Rank: Lord-class]
A chasm separates them from Satan-class combat power, as they have begun to touch the essence of laws.
[Four-Star Rank: King-class]
Possess their own specialized laws and top-tier special abilities, capable of suppressing national-level threats. Comparable to the "Transcenders" in this world, such as Sirzechs, Rias's brother, who has begun to grasp the power of the law of destruction.
This rank has upper, middle, and lower stages, determined by destructive power and mastery of special abilities.
[Five-Star Rank: Law-class]
Physical bodies and destructive power reach the "god" level, capable of ravaging entire continents. They can flexibly use their own laws in combat, comparable to the super-powerful "Heavenly Dragon" level beings in this world.
Examples include the White Dragon Emperor's power of "Reduce" combined with "Poison," and the Red Dragon Emperor's power of explosive strength increase and control, along with special flame abilities. Besides touching laws, their physical bodies and energy destruction reach the level of dominating entire continents.
Tohru is also at the peak of this rank—a versatile dragon proficient in all types of magic, with no obvious weaknesses. Creating spatial tunnels or cross-dimensional passages is as simple as eating or drinking.
Whether inherited from her father or mother, even in environments without magic or energy, Tohru's body can recover energy as if out of thin air, truly achieving self-sufficiency in energy.
Lucoa also shares this trait. Other dragons from different worlds need alternative methods to replenish and convert energy when they come to this world: Elma eats constantly, Kanna absorbs electricity, Ilulu converts gas, and Fafnir's method remains unknown.
[Six-Star Rank: Demigod-class]
Also known as the "Domain" level, achieved after deep development of their laws. Top-tier experts at this stage mostly possess law-based powers strong enough to reshape the world.
Upon reaching this stage, they can construct special domains based on their understanding of "laws."
Inside the domain, rules differ from reality. Calling the domain a "small world" is not an exaggeration.
It is stronger than the "Reality Marble" in the Type-Moon world. With profound mastery of laws, experts at this level are essentially mobile small worlds of laws.
[Seven-Star Rank: True God-class]
If one reaches this stage, no amount of experts from the previous six ranks can match them—the qualitative gap is insurmountable.
This stage is further divided into innate and acquired, as well as upper, middle, lower, and peak levels. Acquired refers to those who have trained step by step to this level.
The Biblical Loli God from Raizen's family was at the peak of this stage in her prime. She is an innate true god, born at this level and later developing to its peak.
The abilities described in the Christian mythology are not entirely false. While the "omnipotent" aspect may be beyond her, "versatility" is certainly within her grasp!
Creation, divinity, causality, law alteration, natural elements, space, time, etc.—she excels and masters these aspects far beyond any existence in this world.
[Eight-Star Rank: World Structure Manifestation]
Among those known to have fully reached this stage is Lucoa. Her true form is larger than all the dragons from other worlds combined, and she can freely alter past events. She is essentially the manifestation of an indispensable law of the world.
Others who have partially stepped into this realm include Tohru's father, the Emperor of Demise; Elma's grandmother, Terne; and this world's True Red Dragon God Emperor.
The above belong to the first and second tiers. The third tier includes beings who have barely touched this realm, such as the Infinite Dragon God, Ophis, and the Center of the World, Eu.
These third-tier beings have obvious weaknesses and fatal flaws. Eu only reaches this level in terms of incantation-based law alteration, mana quality, and reserves. Her physical body, soul strength, and other aspects fall short, making her highly vulnerable to beings far weaker than her—a severe imbalance!
The Infinite Dragon God, Ophis, still suffers from obvious racial vulnerabilities, such as not fully overcoming the weakness to "dragon-slaying" attributes. At this level, racial vulnerabilities are a joke.
The Biblical Loli God had the potential to step into the second tier in her prime, but various troubles prevented her from having the time to do so.
Had she reached this stage, she would have been a versatile existence like Tohru, with no vulnerabilities or countermeasures unless facing overwhelmingly stronger opponents.
The realms beyond this are currently unknown. As for this Six-Star demigod-level undead, it has weaknesses in versatility, having focused solely on developing its soul and laws.
Thus, in terms of soul power, this undead far surpasses Tohru, having abandoned balanced development to specialize in this area.
[TL: Calling half of the power structure cap, but it is the raw so I can't complain]
The death aura radiating from the undead was terrifyingly intense. The soul flames burning in its eyes flickered, reflecting the figure standing before Tohru, radiating immense killing intent.
Its gaze was intensely oppressive, as if piercing through Raize's body to scrutinize his soul. Raize felt a tremor in his soul, but it was instantly suppressed by the violent energy within him.
"Tohru-sama, are you alright?"
A pure white dragon with angel-like wings flew slowly to Tohru's side, its massive dragon eyes filled with concern as it looked at Tohru. It also split its focus to lock onto the being who had survived its dragon breath attack unscathed.
Tohru, having safely returned her soul to her body, glared darkly at the undead. Having her soul touched felt like an insult to her dragon dignity, especially since it was done through a sneak attack by a filthy undead.
And to be protected by the very person she was supposed to protect—Tohru forced a smile, closing her eyes to hide the ferocity within them. She stepped beside Raize, ignoring the killing intent radiating from him, and said:
"Thank you for that, Raize. This creature is an undead from my world. Please step back and leave this to me."
"Are you sure, Tohru?" Raize glanced at the dragon maid suppressing her rage beside him, then looked at the undead still examining him.
"This guy seems stronger than you in certain aspects, doesn't he?"
So this creature is from Tohru's world. What is its purpose in crossing dimensions?
Several powerful beings are still emerging from the spatial gate above. That gate must be destroyed!
Gripping the Yamato tightly, Raizen coldly assessed the spatial black hole in the sky, then turned his attention to the undead before him. Without defeating this creature, destroying the gate would be impossible.
"A mere filthy undead. If not for its sneak attack…"
Tohru, unable to contain her anger, was about to act when the undead cast a disdainful glance at her stubborn defiance.
"Heh, daughter of the Emperor of Demise. You dragons truly value your pride above all else. You self-proclaimed noble races are no match for death either. Why not become undead?"
Even undead can be sarcastic. Seeing Tohru's stubbornness, the undead couldn't help but mock her.
Dragons are all like this, treating their dignity as more important than anything else, even in death, acting as if they're invincible.
"So proud after one successful sneak attack!?"
Tohru's narrowed eyes finally snapped open, a destructive fury burning in her dragon pupils. Flickers of scorching destruction flame rumbled in her throat, as if she were about to unleash a dragon breath capable of piercing continental plates.
