Territory is the power to twist the laws of the world with the strength of your will. Only an overlord and above could be capable of such a feat.
Pseudo-Territories work on the same principle, but they aren’t exactly the same.
To be exact, a Pseudo-Territory is a Territory deployed by someone who isn’t at least at the level of an overlord through their own special means. Naturally, such a deployment comes with heavy side effects, not to mention the strict requirements involved.
Careful preparation is required before deploying such a technique. Yet no matter how prepared one may be, the price of forcefully deploying a technique above one’s limit is not to be taken lightly. As such, Pseudo-Territories are generally regarded as forbidden.

Seeing a lady beside a bunch of skeletal beasts, Nalan Youzhen couldn’t help but pause for a second to stare at the peculiar sight.
Her unperturbed appearance stood in stark contrast to the chaos throughout Southern Plains right now. Furthermore, she was clearly no ordinary lady either. As if the skeletal scorpid fawning over her wasn’t a giveaway enough…
But just as he was about to ask the lady a question, she took the initiative to speak first. She had an unearthly quality to her voice; it almost threatened to hook your soul in if one listened long enough. “Master has given me orders…”
“Orders?”
“Orders to take care of you all!”
A second later, the ground split apart, a giant serenidae burst into the heavens. Its massive body swiftly coiled around the body of the Champion of Gaia, its razor sharp claws poised to strike at the mobile armor’s forehead for a lethal strike!
Yet Nalan Youzhen wasn’t just some rookie soldier. He already had measures against just such a sneak attack. From the shield-like implement on its back, eight discs flew out. Each of these discs were armed with razor sharp blades, and began spinning about the skeletal giant serenidae at odd angles.
In barely the time it took for the discs to fly out, the skeletal behemoth was sliced into pieces. And now that he was free, the eight rapidly rotating discs flew without pause towards the wraith known as Verni.
However, even that wasn’t enough to allay his fears. As a precaution, he willed the laser cannons in his head, chest, arms and other ancillary areas to fire at Verni.
Even so, Verni wasn’t just any old skeletal monster. She was Karlston’s greatest masterpiece in this new world. Naturally, she had her own tricks up her sleeves.
Lasers were a form of energy attack, and thus were especially effective against incorporeal entities like her. But being incorporeal, she wasn’t bound by the limits of flesh, and had speeds far above a normal person’s.
The moment the Champion of Gaia’s cannons aimed at her, she dissipated into the air, reappearing a second later on top of another building’s roof.
Boom!!!
The flying discs and over ten laser beams collided into the building Verni was at moments ago. Like smashing a rock into tofu, the building exploded in a rain of rubble, even the skeletal scorpid was blown to bits as it couldn’t dodge in time…
In this world, ordinary mobile armors had the power of an Eight-star. As an ace pilot’s mobile armor, and the personal craft of a colonel, the power of this suit could reach even the loft heights of a nine-star.
However, the problem was still the human inside the craft. Compared to a nine-star from the Western Human Realms, these mobile armors were more like punching bags. After all, even a superhuman’s reflexes couldn’t be compared to a fighter enhanced by Fighter’s Aura.
