"I know as much." Said Red while looking at Greenwood with her sharp red eyes. "But there's always a limit, while her power seems limitless. You're telling that her body can sustain a limitless amount of energy? If that's the case, wouldn't she had been able to defeat you and everyone else already? Maybe even destroy the world?"
"No. It doesn't work like that. Her power is [Endless Mana] not [Infinite Mana]. There is a concept in here that you haven't realized yet, have you not? Endless Mana implies that her Mana never has an end, it always cos when she needs it. But this doesn't an that she simply has an infinite amount stored inside her Mana Core. In the little ti I had captured her when she was a child. I was able to understand her powers a bit before she escaped… Even the technology and magic I had couldn't stop her. Maybe if I could intervene with my godly strength, but if I did that, the world would had exerted its laws over , weakening , and at the sa ti learning where I am…" Sighed Greenwood while looking at the window, admiring the beautiful snow-covered mountains.
"Y-You an that she actually is… hollow inside but Mana is simply generated when she needs it or requires it?" Asked Red while raising an eyebrow.
"It is not generated. Unique Skills are powerful abilities, but they still must obey the Laws of the Universe. Sotis they seem ridiculous to us because they don't obey the Laws of our world, however, there are broader laws outside of our world, the Laws of the Universe. Unique Skills reign over the Laws of the Universe, not this planet. This is why, they're often ridiculous compared to what our magic can do." Said Greenwood while sitting in a nearby seat. Suddenly, blue light erged on his hands and a cup of tea materialized, warm and aromatic. The scent cald his mind as he took a sip calmly. "Hence, Mana cannot be created out of thin air, it has to co from sowhere."
"So we cannot properly create Mana?" Asked Red.
"Our Souls and Mana Cores "generate" Mana, although even the Mana we have is borrowed from the Universe, the sa way all the components of our body were once particles that made stars, and even other astral bodies beyond the scope of our imagination. Matter never disappears, it simply changes. The sa logic can be applied with the Mana we all have and cultivate within our souls and mana cores. Alma's ability simply lets her borrow Mana from sowhere else limitlessly, which is often not possible for us when we start our journey as living beings." Greenwood explained.
"You an…? Oh, I see. So this is why Yggdrasil's Will fears her so much…" Said Red with a smile. "She borrows Mana from the world itself, isn't it?"
"Precisely. I am amazed that you could figure this out by yourself, seeing how incompetent you are sotis at thinking things broadly." Sighed Greenwood while sipping so more tea, his eyes were closed, as if he were ditating.
"You're getting a bit ahead of yourself." Red said. "Don't think you can trash talk like this, Green. I am as important as you are. I am also Oberon."
"Certainly." Greenwood said while sipping more tea. "Nevertheless, Alma is dangerous because of such reasons. Her Mana Core is unique by itself as well. She was born without Elental Affinity so the only Magic she can develop is Null-Attribute Magic. Her Mana is pure white and gray in color, elent less. Maybe so might think she's weak because of that. But elent-less mana lacks weaknesses, it cannot be easily resisted by anything, and it can pierce through elents with enough magic power."
"Null-Attribute Magic… It doesn't have that many Spells. …Unless she created so?" Asked Red.
"Luckily she's terrible at magic, her talent is bad. She lacks the ability to create new spells, so she only uses the most basic spells, but even then, she's dangerous. She can enhance these low-tier spells thousands of tis over with her incredible quantity of mana which she can draw from the world itself… She can create devastating attacks at the level of gods by going over her limits."
"So she has limits?" Asked Red.
"Yes… Her Mana Core and her Body, alongside her Curse all are a limiter to her powers. Her body can sustain greatly up to a certain point before it begins to weaken and tear itself apart. But she seems to slowly increase the capacity of her limits by tearing apart her body and then healing it."
"Does Null-Attribute Magic even has healing spells though?!" Asked Red.
"Only one, [Recovery Enhancent], a small spell that can enhance the natural recovery of wounds, when she multiplies thousands of tis over… It becos as mighty as the Vampires' regeneration, if not greater." Said Greenwood. "Though, I am certain that she cannot regrow limbs, so she must reattach them if they're ever cut down, and a sure hit in her head should kill her, definitely. However… she doesn't lack magical defenses either. She's powerful and tricky, but not unbeatable…"
"Do my Vampires even stan a chance?!" Asked Red. "And why are you not deploying your forces? Isn't one of your laboratories underground Heaven Port? You got several of your personnel there, and many captured Unique Skill holders!"
"I have never seen her fight the Rank 6 Vampires you sent, so it will be interesting to see how well she fares against them. Let's call this an experint. She's a problem we have to deal with. Don't lower your guard now because we were able to secure the Vessel of the Venerable of Blood now. He might be our new ally against the rest of our foes, especially the damned Dragons, but he's still not soone that can be trusted." Greenwood said with a slight smile.
"So all of this is a re experint to you? Hah, I should had guessed more… You better deploy your forces; we cannot just lose another research facility because of this little bitch." Sighed Red.
"Of course. I have sothing planned…" Greenwood seed to smile pleasantly.
