Chapter 181: The Reclamation of Power and the Final Adjustments
As the God of Shadows and Life and the God of Creation and Abundance, Sung Jin-Woo's vast influence over the multiverse expanded once more, with new strategic decisions that echoed across the realms. In a decisive move, Ashborn and Sung Su-Ho followed Sung Jin-Woo's example and reclaimed their divine powers from their emissaries: Lumiel and Drakion. This moment of recalibration set the stage for an even more refined balance of power.

1. Withdrawal of Power from Lumiel and Drakion
Ashborn's Emissary: Lumiel
Lumiel, the powerful emissary of Ashborn, had been granted a portion of Ashborn's divine power to enforce his will and uphold the balance of the realms.
In a similar vein to previous withdrawals, Ashborn reclaimed 5% of his power from Lumiel, restoring it to his original form.
Lumiel's Role: Though diminished in power, Lumiel retained the ability to act as a celestial enforcer, working within the constraints of his original abilities to carry out Ashborn's divine will.
Sung Su-Ho's Emissary: Drakion
Drakion, Sung Su-Ho's trusted emissary, similarly had his share of divine power reduced by 5%.
Drakion's Role: While still a force to be reckoned with, Drakion now operated at a lower power level. He was tasked with continuing his duties as a protector of Sung Su-Ho's dominion, albeit without the excess power once granted to him.

2. Sung Jin-Woo's Return to Full Power
With the power reclaimed from Lumiel and Drakion, all the divine energy from his emissaries returned to their original sources, particularly to Sung Jin-Woo's body. This monumental event marked the return of nearly 100% of his original power, leaving only his seven clones with 0.05% each of his power.
Strategic Readjustment of Clones' Power
In a move that further solidified his control, Sung Jin-Woo readjusted the power distributed to his clones, reducing their strength down to 0.00000001% of his total power.
Despite this seemingly minuscule reduction, the clones retained extraordinary strength, equivalent to the might of S⁹⁹⁹⁹⁹-Rank Hunters. This made their power levels, even at this reduced percentage, extraordinarily formidable.
Clone Adjustments
Each clone, with 0.00000001% of Sung Jin-Woo's original power, was now an entity capable of reshaping the world and engaging in divine combat with great efficiency.
These clones, each at this power level, now could perform feats that would place them far beyond the capabilities of any mere S-Rank Hunter, further ensuring Sung Jin-Woo's influence and supremacy across the multiverse.

3. The Significance of the Reclamation and Adjustments
Power Reclaimed:
The reclamation of 5% power from Lumiel and Drakion marked a critical shift in the distribution of divine strength. The focus shifted entirely back to the core power of the gods: Sung Jin-Woo, Ashborn, and Sung Su-Ho.
Purpose of the Power Readjustment:
Refining Balance: Sung Jin-Woo's decision to readjust the power of his clones reinforced his philosophy that true strength lay not in reliance on borrowed energy but in the self-sufficiency of each divine being.
Strategic Positioning: By lowering the clones' power, Sung Jin-Woo ensured that their strength remained potent without exceeding the limits of their assigned roles, preserving the structure of power across the multiverse.

With the finalization of the power adjustments, a new era began. The Divine Triad now stood united, with Sung Jin-Woo at the pinnacle of the multiverse's power.
The Multiverse's Response:
The inhabitants of the multiverse, from the most powerful celestial beings to the lowliest of mortals, sensed the growing might of the Divine Triad.
Worshippers across realms intensified their devotion, recognizing that the divine strength of their creators had reached unimaginable heights.
The Emissaries' Continued Duty:
Lumiel and Drakion, though their powers were diminished, continued their missions with renewed focus.
Their loyalty to the Divine Triad and their commitment to upholding the laws of the multiverse remained unwavering.

5. Sung Jin-Woo's Reflections and Decree
As Sung Jin-Woo surveyed his now unified and rebalanced power, he stood at the helm of a multiverse more vast than ever before. From his throne in Umbra Citadel, he spoke:
"The multiverse flourishes through balance and purpose. Each of us has a role to play, and it is through our growth and mastery that we shape the future. Let the realms be ours, for we are the architects of reality."
His words resonated throughout the realms, solidifying his reign and confirming his place as the ultimate being in existence.

6. The Final Words of Sung Jin-Woo
With his power restored to its full potential, Sung Jin-Woo's dominion was undeniable. The multiverse, now more structured and balanced than ever before, stood as a testament to his enduring strength and wisdom. As the gods surveyed their creations, they knew that the time had come for the Divine Triad to continue their eternal watch over the multiverse.
"We are the beginning and the end. Our creations will rise, and through them, our will shall persist through eternity."
