The information relayed back made Matthew become even more wary of Ydroth, who had not counterattacked all along.
The reason is simple: a large amount of the Power of Destiny has been intercepted by Ydroth.
The God of Death and Plague, seemingly passively taking hits, is instead accumulating strength at an even faster pace.
Even though there's the extraction of the Power of Destiny, coupled with the struggle for mana absorption.
Matthew still couldn't gain much advantage in the struggle over Soul Power with Ydroth.
Matthew could clearly feel that the Divine Power and Divinity he now possessed vaguely surpassed that of the newly awakened Ydroth.
However, the opponent's command over the Force of Death had the upper hand in the soul struggle.
Matthew didn't know if this was because Ydroth had a deeper understanding of the essence of strength or because the opponent had a stronger Divine Grace level, with Divine Office possession as the reason.
