[Mankind Protection 5] was far stronger than Daniel could have imagined!

He couldn't help but inhale sharply, stunned by the effects. Judging by its power, this new version of [Mankind Protection] was on par with the top 30 God Rank Skills in the world.

Initially, [Mankind Protection] had been unlocked as a reward when Daniel passed the Emperor Trial. However, what Daniel didn't expect was that this reward would continue to grow stronger as the human race's tier increased.

Now that the human race had reached Star Rank, [Mankind Protection] had also reached an exaggerated level.

Daniel instinctively turned his attention to his divine authority.

[Demigod Authority: Attribute-Specific Amplification]

Effect: All of your God Rank Skills, when used with the same attribute, will have their effects stack and amplify.

The effect seemed simple at first glance, but when Daniel saw it, he couldn't help but take another sharp breath.

At first glance, [Attribute-Specific Amplification] might seem modest, but in truth, it was a ridiculously powerful—almost game-breaking—authority!

Here's the thing: Daniel already possessed many God Rank Skills. However, he tended to use just a few of them frequently. In fact, most of the other skills he had synthesized were gathering dust.

Of course, it wasn't entirely accurate to say they were gathering dust, since when Daniel used [Meteor Arrow Rain], he was actually combining many different God Rank Skills' elemental damage effects.

But even then, these additional elemental damages didn't push the total damage output of [Meteor Arrow Rain] beyond its original value. In other words, while [Meteor Arrow Rain] was originally a physical damage skill, adding elemental damage like Void, Elemental, or Corrosion didn't increase the total damage—it just diversified the types of damage it dealt.

However, with [Attribute-Specific Amplification], everything changed.

Now, Daniel could directly stack additional damage on top of [Meteor Arrow Rain], and even better, these stacked damages would still receive an amplifying effect!

What did this mean?

It meant that the damage of [Meteor Arrow Rain] could increase exponentially!

At that moment, Daniel couldn't help but take another deep breath. His power had already grown beyond what he thought possible, but this was a whole new level. Strong—this was the power of a Demigod Rank authority! Simply put, it was insane!

Right then, Daniel felt that he had the ability to fight against a true Demigod, not just a beginner. However, this was just Daniel's assumption, as he hadn't fought a Demigod Rank opponent yet. So, he wasn't sure if Demigods had any secret tricks up their sleeves. Would they be hard to defeat?

Daniel was confident that, at the very least, he wouldn't lose to a Demigod.

But in reality, Daniel hadn't truly set foot on the third divine path yet. Right now, he had only just completed the ritual for the first circle. If he fully completed the third divine system, Daniel could confidently say that no Demigod would be able to defeat him.

Even though Daniel was still at the Fake God level, he had confidence. He believed that even if he were to face a god-tier entity, he would have a chance to stand his ground.

However, Daniel was more eager to see what kind of improvements he would experience once he reached the Demigod Rank.

According to the current status of [Mankind Protection], if he reached the Demigod Rank, wouldn't he gain god-level authority?

And if he continued advancing and reached the God rank, wouldn't that mean he could acquire the authority of an inner god?

Thinking about this, even Daniel—who thought he had seen it all—felt his heart race with excitement.

He realized that the choice he made years ago was the right one!

Had he chosen to abandon the entire race, Daniel would not have been able to obtain [Mankind Protection]. If that had happened, his strength would have been entirely different from what it was now.

After all, for any being that had left their race, they would never receive the support or benefits that come with being part of a race. Moreover, trying to return to one's original race was almost impossible.

If it were easy to return to one's race, Daniel wouldn't hesitate to bring all his old friends into the human race for show.

But in reality, once such powerful beings left their race, they couldn't go back. All the benefits tied to the race would be lost to them.

This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, though. For the vast majority of powerful beings, leaving their race came with its own set of consequences.

Take Faer and Aurelia, for example—two powerful gods. When they were still at the Demigod Rank, they both chose to leave their races. Had they stayed, their progression would have been locked, and they would never have had the chance to reach the God Rank.

So, for them, leaving their races was a necessary step to grow stronger.

But Daniel's case was different. He had not left the human race. Instead, he had been leading them through their ascension process. With every ascension, Daniel shared in the growth and power of the human race.

Moreover, thanks to his identity as the Human Emperor, Daniel received even more benefits from this growth.

Shaking his head, Daniel brushed aside the distracting thoughts.

Next, he decided to test the effect of [Attribute-Specific Amplification] on his God Rank Skills.

Of course, Daniel wasn't foolish enough to just use them without testing. Right now, the damage he could output with a God Rank Skill was so vast that it couldn't easily be measured. Besides the coverage area, it was difficult to say exactly how much more damage it dealt with the enhancement. A precise figure was hard to come by.

So, Daniel chose to test his skills using Mental Deduction.

With the aid of Mental Deduction, Daniel quickly realized just how much his power had increased!

After a quick assessment, Daniel felt as if his combat power had reached the Demigod Rank level!

He opened his eyes wide, a glimmer of excitement flashing through his gaze.

In an instant, Daniel's figure blurred as he rushed toward a nearby gathering of Star Rank monsters!

[Meteor Arrow Rain, Amplified!]

In the next moment, a sea of light enveloped the entire area.

At the same time, Daniel saw numerous system prompts appearing in front of him.
