If Asher compared his mother's strength to No. 1, whom he had fought before, the difference was almost impossible to ignore. In terms of control and sheer firepower, No. 1 seemed almost like a child compared to her. Asher was certain that if he had fought his mother using the same sixty Master-rank vessels he had used against No. 1, he would have been completely overwhelmed and destroyed without any doubt.

This realization also gave Asher a clearer understanding of the true gap between Grandmasters. Reaching the Grandmaster Rank did not mean that every Grandmaster possessed the same level of strength. The truly talented ones were in an entirely different league from ordinary Grandmasters like No. 1.

People such as the heads of the Noble Houses and the higher-ranking members of the Church were likely far stronger than what Asher had previously imagined.

The battle continued.

Then, Asher's mother finally summoned her Domain.
