—Your energy is boundlessly vast, yet your attacks are so powerless. Just what are you?
This was what Lancelot's confusion translated to.
Actually, Jibril's attack strength absolutely couldn't be described as weak and powerless.
It could even be said that this light spear's power far exceeded ordinary Heretic Gods' offensive authorities.
If she hadn't relied on [Sword Codex]'s protection, giving her defensive power surpassing [Steel Protection], with her previous defensive capabilities, Lancelot was certain she would have been injured, possibly even severely.
However, the problem lay precisely here.
With such boundless energy, why was the final lethality only slightly stronger than ordinary offensive authorities?
If she herself were to use it, this energy would be enough to easily penetrate her own defense, yet the opponent failed to do so.
Lancelot was very confused.
Altria was also somewhat confused.
"Could it be that you held back?"
Lancelot speculated.
"No."
Jibril shook her head expressionlessly.
"My attacks have always been at this power level... Rather, how did you withstand it?"
She truly couldn't understand.
In her world, even Giant species couldn't completely ignore her previous attack. Only Dragonia and gods wouldn't care about her power.
The two types of beings who could withstand her attacks were without exception relying on elven quantities far surpassing her own to completely ignore her attacks.
But the being before her was different. The energy in her body was clearly so weak, yet her defensive power was so strong.
"As a Steel War God, I inherently possess steel attributes. Ordinary authorities don't work well on me. After receiving my lord's protection, ordinary authorities can't harm me at all."
Lancelot's understanding of her own power was quite clear.
With her current defensive power, Heretic Gods or Campiones without solar authorities had no way to break her defense.
"However, with your strength, you should be sufficient to break through steel defense..."
Lancelot looked strangely at Jibril.
Steel defense was indeed powerful, but it also required consuming divine power to maintain effectiveness.
Even if this authority could provide ten points of defense with one point of divine power, when facing attacks with ten times more energy, it couldn't possibly protect oneself.
With the energy scale Jibril had condensed, just adding a bit of offensive authority, even without solar, high-temperature, or other restraining powers, would be enough to break her defense.
Yet the opponent didn't do so. What Lancelot sensed was only the purest energy torrent.
"Could it be she doesn't master authorities at all?"
Observing Guinevere made such a guess.
"She might not even master magic... only having incredibly precise control over magical power."
After coming to her senses, she quickly realized that the opponent's attack was purely energy discharge.
Although not without technique, and even surpassing gods in energy condensation skills, in terms of spell construction, concept utilization, and even authority power, she was completely at zero.
"Now that you mention it, indeed."
Lancelot thought for two seconds and quickly accepted Guinevere's speculation.
"Your energy scale indeed far surpasses ours, but your techniques for using power are still inferior to some divine beasts..."
In terms of energy, Jibril might indeed possess crushing-level superiority.
But in terms of technique, her level seemed inferior to ordinary holy knights.
Even Erica knew one or two god-slaying specialized spells for enhancement, yet Jibril could only compress and condense energy.
This processing method undoubtedly lowered the upper limit of energy's explosive power while greatly reducing lethality.
Precisely because of this, Lancelot could safely receive her attack.
"Authority? Isn't that power only gods possess?"
Jibril didn't think there was anything wrong with herself.
"But isn't this the most basic prerequisite?"
Lancelot asked back.
The two looked at each other, both realizing that the power system the other belonged to was completely different from what they knew.
Only then did Jibril truly realize that the beings before her were genuine gods, not those lower species she could randomly slaughter. She had been too arrogant before.
Only then did Lancelot truly realize that she had been overly worried just now. The Flügel before her was more like a divine beast that had obtained super energy, though powerful, it wasn't without weaknesses.
[Tohsaka Rin: "You scared me to death, I thought you could instantly kill Heretic Gods! Turns out you can't even do that."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Friendly reminder - Ryuga-sama instantly killed this Heretic God."]
Seeing Jibril eat crow, Tohsaka Rin immediately perked up, no longer afraid.
She had been worried that if Jibril won, she'd really come for a home visit.
Now it seemed she couldn't even handle Lancelot, so how could she possibly handle Ryuga?
Kicking someone when they're down, she now wanted to vent the anxious emotions from before.
Originally, Jibril's expression was somewhat serious, but seeing Tohsaka Rin's mockery, her eyebrow twitched.
"Hmph! Getting cocky now is too early!"
"The reason for the failure just now was simply because I underestimated the opponent. Even without mastering authorities, it doesn't affect my victory at all."
"If one portion of energy doesn't work, then two portions. If two don't work, then ten! True strong people should be like Artosh-sama, using absolute violence to crush everything!"
With incomparably fanatical attitude, this time Jibril finally mobilized all the elven power throughout her body.
The previous attack was actually just testing with five percent of her power. This time was getting serious.
Hearing this, Lancelot shook her head.
"No wonder Master said you don't understand power."
Wanting to use pure violence to overwhelm everything? That was too underestimating the power of gods or Heretic Gods.
Authority was the crystallization of divine power, also the ultimate in concept utilization.
Without grasping this point, it was difficult to stand on the same level as gods.
Hearing this, Jibril sneered.
"Don't understand power? No, it's you who don't understand what the purest violence is!"
Saying this, the geometric halo above her head flickered until it almost dimmed, and all elven power throughout her body was extracted completely dry.
The previous terrifying momentum completely disappeared, leaving only death-like silence.
If any Flügel were here, they would certainly recognize this classic opening stance.
This was clearly the posture for Flügel using their strongest ultimate move - [Sky Strike].
Extracting all power from one's body, then discharging it all at once.
Even Flügel needed several years to recover after using this move. Without doubt, this was a desperate technique.
