"Alright, show me the current Leaderboards and the rewards payout." Draco requested from Tomodachi.
"Please check it." Tomodachi replied.

Draco only checked the leaderboard for the level he was planning to challenge. There was no real needed to check the ones for any others, at least not until he planned to challenge those floors as well.
He noted that the rewards per rank were not stated and were private to each member. It seemed that this was to protect them, as many would covet their gains otherwise.
As for the rewards, they were plentiful. The lowest item on this list was Divine and there were hundreds of semi-origin and origin items up for grabs as long as one could prove themselves worthy.
Even Draco was slightly moved, but he didn't drool. It was because in the Divine Draconic treasury, most of these items were stuffed there.
Draco had always wondered where the Dragons had farmed such goods given that Origin Gods were busy even during the old era, but he now understood that an overwhelming amount of Dragons must have come here and worked hard.
Why didn't he just go and claim this items instead of fighting here? Well, what was the fun in doing that? Not to mention, the AI would definitely cook his ass if he dared to touch any Semi-Origin and above item.
Just by claiming the Divine items back then, he, Shuangtian and Eva had caused a calamity upon the main plane. The addition of the new areas was not the calamity, that was just spice added to the update.
The real calamity had an army of trillions of Rank 7 and below coming over along with hundreds of thousands of True Gods. Among them were possibly Semi-Origin Gods, so even the talented and Overpowered Evil Trio would have difficulty beating them back.
This was part of the reason why they just decided to conquer the entire world and fortify it rather than just punish those who attacked Vita Kingdom specifically.
Anyway, Draco had heard enough from the orb and was ready to begin. He naturally chose to go for the first level's easy mode to gauge what the challenge would be like.
Tomodachi acquiesced and then he felt a beam of light land on him as he was taken into a small world. Draco's expression became solemn because unlike the time when he was ported into the lobby, this time's teleportation was more complex and profound where even he couldn't see through it with his current Eternal Control.
When he materialized, he noticed he was in a small realm constructed for his battle. Draco was naturally shocked that a whole ass small realm, not a super mini small realm, not even a mini small realm, but an actual small realm was used just for his single instance.
This, more than anything, should show the wealth and background of the Divine Trial. But it was an AI controlled existence, not even Origin Gods were allowed to touch it, so its ability made sense.
Draco noticed that a quest like prompt appeared before him.
｢The First Level (Easy Mode) – Origin Quest
Description: You have undertaken the Easy Mode difficulty of the Divine Trial's First Level, Noble God. Prove yourself worthy. Defeat your allotted foe within the time frame and according to the limitations placed on you.
Limitations: None.
Provisions: None.
Rewards: Divine Trial Score.｣
Simple and short. However, Draco frowned when he saw mention of Limitations while there were none. It meant that with each increase in difficulty, more limitations would be placed on him, and provisions might now be added.
That, coupled with linearly strengthening the foe he had to fight, was probably what constituted the difficulty gap between each mode.
With that in mind, Draco looked forward to see what his foe was. Before him, miraculously seemingly materializing out of nothing, was a giant wolf that was about the size of an SUV.
It was a majestic creature with a mixture of white fur as the main with streak of block forming patterns all over its body that glowed with an ominous light. There were black lines around its eyes that made it look like it had makeup on, and its piercing eyes were colored bronze.
It had a glowing mist that emerged from its stomach area and wound around its front legs, wafting upwards to its back before dissipating in the air. It was like it was releasing endless steam, but it was not as fierce.
Rather this 'cosmetic effect' made it look absolutely majestic and divine. You didn't need to ask or assume, if you saw this being anywhere, you would instantly know it was a True God just based of the aura it gave from its presence.
The wolf was vigilant at first, then became puzzled. Draco gave of the feeling of a pure mortal in terms of Combat Rank. It could sense that he had a powerful Divine Source Origin, but that alone was not enough to make him able to fight against it.
It wondered if Draco was playing a trick of some sort and became vigilant again. It also pondered different angles to the situation, but none of those affected its battle readiness.
Draco saw its actions and had a hint of praise in his eyes. This beast was different from the normal ones on the main plane, and its battle insitncts were a notch above.
He quickly checked its details.
｢Name: Kuiper – True God
Level: Law of Extremespeed (Basic)
Divine Energy: 100%/100%.｣
Naturally, the display for True Gods and above were vastly different from mortal monsters. Where there would be a Rank, level and HP display, such things were transient to a bonafide True God.
Rather, it now displayed their Law, the level of their law and the amount of Divine Energy they had in their Source Origin left. As for things like HP, you'd have to work on that yourself.
Unless you could break their law and deplete their Divine Energy, you couldn't kill a True God. There was no point in HP bars because True Gods didn't focus on stats either.
Well, if you wanted to give them HP bars, they would be so long that even the AI would struggle to display it. It was best to just focus on the important things otherwise.
"The Law of Extremespeed huh? This is going to be very tough." Draco frowned.
This was a pure combat oriented rule that could significantly enhance the foes speed while delivering copious amounts of damage from hits. Draco would also struggle to strike it with this kind of agility, so timing was important.
Draco dispersed the black robe he usually wore, and a mist of blackness coiled around him. This mist eventually reformed and molded itself into his Dragorugio armor.
He stretched out his right and left hands to either side at an incline facing the ground, and two swords made of what seemed to be eternal blackness emerged in either hand.
Behind him, a cape formed thread by thread and billowed out, moving in the ambient wind along with Draco's black hair. Along with his confident smile and the calculative intent in his green eyes, it was clear that Draco was in his prime!
He glanced at the wolf before him that showed a hint of severity at Draco's transformation, and smiled. Draco then activated a slew of skills that were now at the Divine Rank.
｢Active 1 – War-Monger: Activating this skill allows the user to merge with the Fire of War, boosting damage by 300% for as long as there is stamina to burn. No cooldown.｣
｢Active 1 – Dark Fires: Cover the blade in a blackish miasma that is a mixture of Destruction Energy and Darkness Energy for 3 hours. Cooldown: 30 seconds or 0.00000001 Divine Points.｣
｢Active 1 – Destruction Barrier: Create a barrier of Destruction Energy that negates 150% of incoming damage for 45 minutes. Cooldown: 3 seconds or 0.00000000005 Divine Points.｣
｢Active 1 – Rapid Hands: Drastically increase attack speed by 750% for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 10 seconds or 0.0000000001 Divine Points.
Active 2 – Dexterity: Drastically increase the DEX stat by 2,500% for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 10 seconds or 0.0000000001 Divine Points.｣
｢Active 1 – Rapid Legs: Drastically increase movement speed by 750% for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 10 seconds or 0.0000000001 Divine Points.
Active 2 – Evasion: Drastically increase the Evasion hidden stat by 1,200% for 5 minutes. Cooldown: 10 seconds or 0.0000000001 Divine Points.｣
After these boots, Draco was filled to the brim with endless power. If he didn't have such a sturdy body thanks to his bloodline, he even wondered if he would directly explode into bloodmist from all the power coursing through him right now.
He glanced at his current character sheet.

Draco laughed out loud, his laughter almost forming a thunderous domain around him. By just activating these few active skills, he had already plagiarized the laws that formed their basis, adding them to his repertoire!
However, Draco didn't plan to fight with laws just yet, even if his opponent did so. He was going to fight using his nonsensical stats, skills and abilities to gauge the gap between an overpowered mortal with no equal and a basic True God.
Not to mention, it was finally time to verify the hype about items and Ranks. Could a person decked out in Divine items fighting against a True God as long as they could bring out the full power of the Divine item?
This was a very crucial thing to know, because if so, Draco could equip an army with Divine sets to deal with various Divine Rank threats within the mapped zones and even in the larger unmapped zones that were yet to be conquered.
Draco held up his two swords that were glowing with a malicious miasma made up of Destruction and Darkness energy mixed together, and then disappeared from the spot.
He was moving so fast that his single step was akin to teleportation, arriving beside his foe within the smallest fraction of a second.
He swung his blade downward to bisect the foe. In this almost stopped time, Draco couldn't help but sneer. Law of Extremespeed? So this was it?
However, his expression changed greatly when he saw that the wolf turned its eyes to glance at him with a hint of disdain even as time seemed to be stopped, its brown pupils were tracking Draco's movements with ease.
