The night passed quickly, and we continued our journey.
When we encountered the wolf pack yesterday, I had used the Earth Fortress to protect the Giant-Legged Bird we bought earlier. It was lucky and wasn't attacked by the wolves.
It was still fulfilling its duty of hauling cargo.
This bird was quite pitiful. Among the four living beings in our group, it was the only one that couldn't be immune to Orsted's curse. It was shivering constantly, no matter when or where. If it hadn't been tied down by the reins, it probably would have run off long ago.
Thanks to the existence of the cart, Seven Star was no longer walking. She sat on the cart, leaning against the luggage. I held the reins to prevent the Giant-Legged Bird from running away.
Orsted walked in front, leading the way.
Although I seemed to have angered Seven Star with my questions last night, she wasn't a petty woman. Thinking carefully, I really was showing concern for her.
Considering that I had made a few water spheres for her using Water Magic, she didn't hold a grudge against me. Of course, she didn't give me a specific answer to that question.
Moreover, she seemed prepared; every time she needed privacy, she would hide far away, and afterward, she would use a large fireball to destroy any evidence.
She truly is a woman who leaves no trace. I'm almost impressed with her.
Since she doesn't want me to know the answer, I won't bother prying into her physical condition anymore.
Taking advantage of traveling with Orsted, I plan to ask him about a few things.
"Lord Dragon God, what level of magic can you use? Have you ever used God-level magic?"
"My total magic power is insufficient, so I cannot use high-level magic. However, I have learned some knowledge about God-level magic from the remnants of the Dragon race's knowledge. Of course, I have never used it."
He definitely wasn't telling the truth. His total magic power surely isn't low; he just recovers magic power extremely slowly, and magic power is basically a consumable for him—something he cannot replenish.
If he were to use God-level magic at full mana capacity, he should be able to unleash a single strike, right?
"Oh, Lord Dragon God, you can talk to me. Do you know the specific details of God-level magic? I am very interested. Of course, if there are any questions you have that I can answer, you can also ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
"Actually, God-level magic is rarely needed. The only recorded instance of its use in history is when Laplace used God-level magic to blast open the Lingus Sea, splitting the continent into multiple pieces.
The most significant manifestation of God-level magic that I know of is creation from nothingness—the ability to draw immense power from the void. God-level magic does not require corresponding elemental assistance; it is an existence detached from reality.
Of course, if you want me to tell you the specific effects, since I haven't seen it myself, I don't know either."
The casting process for magic below God-level should be:
Condense mana within the body — release mana to mobilize corresponding magic elements — form the corresponding spell — impart kinetic energy to the spell — spell release.
Then, God-level magic should eliminate the step of 'releasing mana to mobilize corresponding magic elements,' replacing it with directly using mana to draw power from the void.
It sounds simple, but if it were actually unleashed, the effect would probably be world-destroying.
This reminded me that in the diary timeline, Rudeus stole the God-level Antidote from the Millis Holy Kingdom to save Roxy.
The function of the God-level Antidote is to cure magic stone sickness, or rather, to cure any ailment in the body, including magic stone sickness. Otherwise, an antidote that only cures magic stone sickness would be too useless.
So, what would the effect of a God-level Healing Spell be?
Orsted's answer to this question was very direct: Creation!
This means that if a God-level Healing Spell were cast, it could grant sentience to mindless animals, thereby creating a new race, or it could directly conjure life out of thin air, or even imbue lifeless objects with sentience. That is too much of a cheat, far stronger than the God-level Antidote.
Isn't that just Nuwa creating humans? Looking at it this way, were all the races currently on the continent created through this kind of spiritual awakening?
Is this magic, or a divine skill? Or perhaps, God-level magic itself is a kind of divine skill.
Sigh, these things are too far beyond me. Even Orsted seems to have mastered only one or two God-level spells.
There's no way I should even consider it right now.
After another half a year of travel, we finally reached our destination: the Yalu Llama Mountain Range, located in the central part of the Demon Continent.
This is a massive mountain range. If the Red Dragon Mountain Range divides the Central Continent into smaller sections, the Yalu Llama Mountain Range in the center of the Demon Continent occupies the entire central region of the Demon Continent.
The huge mountain range appeared on the horizon like a tidal wave. From where we could see the mountains, the view stretched endlessly from north to south.
This must be Shichisei's first time here too. When she saw the mountain range, her legs started trembling. Her frail body probably couldn't support her climbing the entire range.
I estimate she already regrets adventuring with us.
After entering the mountains, we first climbed a peak about 3,000 meters high. Although Orsted handled all the monsters on the way up, Shichisei collapsed around the 1,000-meter mark. I carried her the remaining 1,000 meters upward.
