Danmachi: Is It Wrong to Be the Main Character in Orario?

Chapter 895: Testing the Upper Limits of Power

The air trembled, and the entire space seemed on the verge of shattering.Bell had only recently ascended and had profound control over the fundamentals of power, but his mastery over himself was still limited. He had spent so long restraining the eruption of his strength that both his raw power and his command of his Authority were suppressed to an extremely low level. This had resulted in his explosive potential being notably weak.

He no longer restrained his power or the principles he wielded but released them with effortless naturalness.

Flesh and blood were exposed at the stump, but there were no signs of rapid regeneration. Instead, the bleeding had simply been temporarily stopped.

"So that’s it. By completely disintegrating the atoms that compose it, I’ve eliminated the possibility of regeneration on a microscopic level."

The power of that punch was continuously analyzed within Bell’s cognition, ultimately leading to this conclusion.

Of course, a casual strike wasn’t full power. If it had been full power, it wouldn’t have been a casual strike.

"A full-power strike could shatter a planet. But the possibility of shattering this planet is slim—unless Mother doesn’t care about it at all."

His raw power alone had reached the level capable of shattering a star. Yet he was still puzzled as to why his ascension had brought him to such a level.

No, not all four-digit powers possessed such destructive capability. Just as there are differences between individuals, there’s a vast chasm between one four-digit power and another.

Even Bell’s situation fits into these two categories.

Yet Bell’s case required considering another, unobserved power: the Simulated Star Map.

Even without directly activating the Simulated Star Map, as its possessor, Bell still manifested fragments of its power.

Just as now, even without utilizing any specific Authority, Bell could effortlessly exert strength far beyond the typical four-digit level.

Through his cognition, Bell slowly understood the reason behind his transformation.

Through this cognition, Bell now had a clear understanding of where his own power’s ceiling lay. No excessive, unnecessary testing was required; a simple attempt was enough to make a judgment.

Bell had no intention of sparing the Goliath before him. His earlier punch had revealed a unique form of destruction—one that could even strip Goliath of its regenerative abilities.

In simpler terms: "Until I figure this out, becoming my punching bag is your job."

Of course, Bell gave Goliath a chance to resist, so he had no intention of killing him immediately. Not until he understood why his casual strike had stripped Goliath of its regenerative power.

They had just witnessed the power that youth displayed moments ago.

"Pure strength capable of shattering planets... aside from the War Gods, there’s hardly any god who could match this child."

The powers of the War Gods were typically offensive, which is why they could shatter stars.

Of course, divine authorities came in all shapes and forms. While many gods couldn’t reach the level of destroying planets, the powers they wielded could accomplish feats far more extraordinary than planetary destruction.

The nature of the godly powers this boy wielded was still unknown, as was his true direction.

"Old man, your assessment is too low."

"War Gods? Most couldn’t do what this kid did so easily."

"You saw the power behind that one strike. Old man, why don’t you have those War Gods evaluate this kid’s level?"

That was a level of power beyond the reach of ordinary War Gods.
