Tsk, tsk, it was clear that Rank 4 was a watershed for Mage Gods. Once one reached this stage, they began going from a Mage Mortal to a Mage Demi-God looking at the sheer power increase alone. If Draco decided to drop every other power and focus on this one alone, he would still clap the asses of all his core members, Control, bloodlines, and Divine Class be damned.

Heck, Draco was not sure if he could beat himself if he split himself into two, one using Rank 4 Mage God and one using any of his other powers except his 100% bloodline.

To paint a picture, even his 99% bloodline self would face extreme trouble from this, okay?

He definitely could not beat Richmond with his 100% bloodline then.

In fact, Draco had fought Rank 7's before. Don't forget, he and the others had been capped at Rank 6 in the previous timeline, and they had fought World Bosses like Qiong Qi during their prime.

They had trillions and above of HP, sure, and that was hard to reduce due to average power at that Rank, sure, but it was not impossible to kill them. Draco was now sure that with all his methods, he could easily beat a Rank 6 enemy and defend himself against a Rank 7 foe.

Defeat didn't mean kill. Killing anyone above Rank 5 was HARD for those at the same Rank. Only True Gods could do that easily because attacks fueled by Divine Energy and at the Divine combat Rank were of a different class altogether.

Heck, even Titled Gods like Richmond who only had a wisp of Divine Energy within them could beat their peers so badly that they were put in a class of their own. They were like Semi-True Gods.

Hikari had a Divine Source Origin now and fell into this category as well, but due to her lack of offensive means, she couldn't display killing power, only defensive and supportive ones.

Speaking of Hikari, Draco suddenly thought of his mounts. Now that he reached Rank 4, all of them should have experienced an upgrade, right? As such, he waved a hand and released Clarent, Sheera and Qiong Qi.

The moment they came out, they felt the changes due to Draco's Rank Up. Clarent grew from an Adult Dragon to an Elder Dragon, and his size fucking doubled again.

At Rank 1, he had been the size of a computer. At Rank 2, he was about the size of a 4x4 luxury car. At Rank 3, he was about the size of a house.

Now at fucking Rank 4, he was the size of a small highrise building. He was now at the size where his skits would be harder to perform and he could even cause harm to his loved ones if he didn't take care.

His power increase was even more insane.

Tsk, tsk, Clarent's power had directly doubled at the very least stats wise. If this was the kind of power the Dragon race got at Rank 4, then what about Rank 7?

GM, please nerf the Dragon race please!!

Sheera didn't change much. She grew about 1.2 times in size and her fur became sleeker. Her mane was also neater, darker and more exotic.

Sheera's growth was never that impressive, but still, any nice tasting meat was still meat.

No, mosquito meat was not meat. Who the fuck in this world ate mosquito meat unironically? If such fellows existed, Draco would hunt them for sport.

Then there was the mighty Qiong Qi!!

… well, in his case, he technically regained his own power that continued to be sealed away. However, due to the circumstances, he was so moved and happy to gain his own power that he roared into the sky.

"Bastard Draco, I have become stronger. Take my Divine Lion Empyrean Fist!"

A giant golden fist appeared that hurtled towards Draco. Draco simply waved a hand and knocked the blow aside, then folded his arms.

"Weak, too weak! You look like a pussy and hit like one too." Draco cruelly commented with a smile.

Qiong Qi was blown into a nearby tree, spitting three mouthfuls of blood due to mental damage that transcended the mind and became physical.
