You wrote "Visceral Viscount" in the list, but "Valiant Viscount: explanation" lower.

Kconraw

Thx for the chapter

Jeff McCulley

[Earthly Dao of Defiant War] Wait! The System misspelled “Deviant”!!! 🤣

Lex Luther S

Doubt that's possible though what plans zac has for them is unknown.

Amani

Good chapter. Finally a status update. I’m excited to find out what mechanisms Zac is building for the splinters. Won’t it be sick if he became a cultivator through the splinters, he can just increase the well for them to gather more energy.

Matthew Hay

Have you seen anything new on when WEBTOONS will publish the DOTF series?

M💬

Unrelated post, I have been reading a bunch of cultivation manhua’s and this just get me excited for defiance of the fall. If done right the potential will be limitless and anime might even be the topic of conversation with a larger fanbase , all in all truly looking forward to to a se Zac run rampant in picture forms My top two so far: The ultimate of all ages Magic emperor Both fire 🔥

Lex Luther S

Nahhh, we need at least a 30 ch rest arc where decades pass as zac and Co. just rest, cultivate and shore up their foundations, at least until earth's assimilation. Many are gonna whinge and complain but damnit it's needed. As instructor rava has mentioned, Zac and Co. have been moving at a monumental rise and are unbalanced. It'll take centuries for anyone other than zac and ogras and even then they'll both need at least a century proper to fix the issues rava has pointed out; and this is ultimately a cultivation novel, there needs to be down time to actually cultivate and with such a monumental arc like ultom coming to a close, TFD will need time to plan the next big overarching arc and what better way than giving us Zac and Co. peacefully cultivating?

David Giles

You know when this war's over we really need a chapter of Zac, Ogras and the other long term characters just sat down having a beer or something.

Jeff McCulley

That wasn’t the Rapturous Divide being upgraded, though. It was Void Divide when put together by two different bodies. With help from Be’Zi and her hubby. Doubtful that it’s reproducible as an individual skill…at the moment. And you’re shouting and complaining when he was clearly interrupted…

Kurby

Anybody feel like this chapter showing Zac's growth was a little light? It feels like he got one more upgrade that the author hasn't acknowledged yet. I can't remember what though. Feels like it's on the tip of my tongue... Oh yeah. WHAT ABOUT RAPTUROUS DIVIDE!?!?!?!?! YOU EVOLVED MY BABY OFFSCREEN AND REFUSE TO SHOW ME IT'S GROWTH! NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IT BECAME HIS ONE AND ONLY TEAM SKILL! LET ME SEE MY BABY!!!!!!

I think you have to reach a certain rank maybe an Earl or marquess if TFD is using the regular ranking system.

John Anastacio

Can Zac give one or more of his new planets to his friends and lieutenants like Ogras and Vilari, so they too can be nobles under the System? Not sure how it works when you're a vassal. If a planet belongs to you, does it also belong to your liege lord, or can there only be one owner per planet? Either way it could be good and nice and beneficial for the trusted Hegemons of the Atwood Empire to also be nobles, even at only the lowest level, Planetary Lord.

Matthew Hay

Well, the Spear was launched by his token and he defended it until it could take off, it's also a tool/weapon/artifact. In this case, his actions lead to the Heavens and the System smiting the enemy, neither of which is a tool/weapon/artifact that he enabled or controlled. It also seems sticky to reward merit for other actors eliminating threats, even if they only did so due to your actions, unless you're in a war role that is purely intended for that. Like a scout spotting enemies and relaying positions to your allies leading to the enemy death is probably how they get merit. But that wouldn't make sense to reward merit for a fighter, since they didn't fight that enemy, someone else did. We didn't really question if Zac deserved system war merit for alerting the coalition to the Technocrat spies in their midst, which assuredly had some Monarchs/Peak D-grades die indirectly due to his actions. He did however get remuneration from the Alliance merit system, which is human controlled and can acknowledge actions like that. It could also be providence/grade related though. Like if the actor is so high above you, the system essentially doesn't consider you an influence in their actions (even though it's clear that he was), so it doesn't think you deserve anything. In this case, the Heavens would be just about as far above in providence as you can get. It could also be that these events were considered outside the scope of the war, due to the invading autarchs and ancient entity's presence. It could also be that the System actually lost control of itself in its hatred of the entity and shut down some sub-systems temporarily in order to deal with the immediate threat.

Matthew Hay

Increase is shown in the display, only relevant to those calculating the base stat value. Efficiency means each of those points shown operates at the increased rate. So 5 str at 100% efficiency is an effective 10 str when compared to the normal values. That increase is not shown, and canonically it is near impossible to discern even w/ spying skills.

Jeff McCulley

“…nor had he gained any War Merit. His vision had cut out early, but Zac was certain the enormous fortress and its subsidiary planets had taken massive damage from the Heavenly annihilation.” Well, yeah, Zac. *We* know the Fort is toast—and no war merit? How is this different from the spear? Also, does it guarantee that the Atwood Empire gained no faction merit from it? Or are we going to have to wait until Zac gets access to a Faction Store to find out? Or…did Kator manage to siphon off Zac’s individual Merit? 🤔

Jeff McCulley

Maybe they bought some more planets while he was reading, and it upgraded?

Shurjin

So how is increase and effectiveness calculated again? I always forget...

Joshua Little

Thanks for the chapter.

Jeff McCulley

In his hearts.

Jeff McCulley

One Pryer Pyre upcoming.

freakinweekend

Any ideas about where the last two pairs of remnants are? Maybe a set for Verun/Alea

MacMahon Wenzl

I'd love to see an explanation of the luck/providence and sequence of events thats needed to occur for each one of Zac's crazy moments

Matthew Hay

I would assume the rank titles are upgrades instead of additions. Should be able to tell from the last time, I'll see if I can find it somewhere...

Omg what aye chapter GAINS GAINS GAINS I NEEEEDDDD ITTTTTTT still feening tho OUR BOI GOT MOREEEEEEE CRUSE THE HEAVENS AND THE SYSTEMMMMMMMM

Luke Scheffe

Did Valiant Viscount replace Bloodied Baraon?

hachetnif

I believe he got taken to his ancestors by making a deal to save the pocket realm Spirit

Telewyn

Oooh, I wonder if Ogras hypothetically using his flag to uncorrupt Vilari could be a fulcrum for making the flag an orthodox tool.

Gb

I'm not gonna lie. I luv the story but I miss Billy. Like did Billy die and I didn't see it? What is Billy Thawonkin today? Is Nigel still around to give people the time for Billy? I have these questions and more.

Michael Fannon

Not really a hard stop. He does have it outlawed in his territory and kills anyone he encounters that does it though. I'd assume that the Atwood codex laws mentioned has something like that, but it has been ages since there has been details about his empire are discussed. The crafters need to be trained and don't show up until after the first time skip, at least not any good ones or enough to make a difference. Think about the bar owning kid. He became a decent crafter in making alcohol that even hits Zac, but wasn't that good until after Orom. It takes years, and that is also why the blue gnomes are so important early on.

Lex Luther S

Well, the main issue with zecia is it's just ti wretched a corner of the multiverse to support someone of zacs level. Now, certainly I feel that after he has the foreign gods clean up the zubor sector, the system will ultimately consider it the zecia sectors victory and combine the sectors giving the zecia sector a much better environment but it'd ultimately still be too removed from what zac will need for monarchy. I hope it goes this route so zac can spend the next century or at least until earth's assimilation is over in peace. That way our boy has had the time to rest, cultivate and shore up his foundations as rava suggested. Rava mentioned centuries but that's for those like ogras and below. Zac will likely only need a few decades to a century to reach a lvl rava sees as above acceptable. Of course given earth will remain in the zecia sector, there's gotta be reasons to allow the sector to keep up an environment worthy of zacs strength and I feel that's where ultom and that plant the Wa'Zol was caressing will come into play.

Omiso

The System probably got lazy and cramed the reward with the Atavistic Defier title.

John Anastacio

Disappointed there's no new title or upgraded title for clearing out the stagnation in the Peak of Chaos.

Omiso

I'd say practice the Void Varja Sublimation to siphon vigor off him but I'm not sure if he completed the 5th level yet.

Omiso

Congratulations to Zac officially leaving the "I have a evil presence in my mind whispering dark dangerous intruding thoughts" club. Ogras and Vilary are the only members now, I'm sure Zac will be happy to share his experience with them and help them overcome their condition.

Russell Widger

Just wait until he uses it in battle for the first time

Russell Widger

What indicated Iz getting captured?

brennon Petersen

Tftc!

Mouser

Got my wife reading the books.... She is on book 4.... Had a couple questions... I don't remember... Did Zac put a hard stop to the men taking women by force on Earth? Where are the blacksmiths and other crafters? ...

Kharas

We cant even get all the gains without interruptions :p What is it.. A front row seat to Iz taking down the haughty elemental? That would be a nice extra reward. And as we talked about a number of chapters ago. He needed to get more planets under his control for a new title, and here it is :) I imagine that Zecia will be to small for Zac after this with the hints we are getting now. The only question is how many planets he will end up having after the firesale that is Zecia atm. And ofc where he will move his whole empire when the war is over. I bet you all that he will upgrade his "move my empire" option so it also includes other sectors some time during the rest of the war ;)

Nate

So Iz probably got captured then? He got robbed for not getting anything for annihilating a whole chapter.

Ben

Btw the viscount title prefix changes from the status as visceral to vallant

Philly Cheese

Like Zac, I'm disappointed with the gains from an earthly dow....

Lex Luther S

Ohhh what a glorious status screen

FriendorFo

Sweet, sweet, release getting that sexy stat screen *drooling emoji*

NeverNaught

We need to pool ideas for how Zac can abuse the connection with Kator

Chemistrywarrior

Daily fix, here it is

Bryce H.

Finally, the gains!

Shukketsu

Thanks for the Chapter

Ryan Pepp

TYFTC!
