Chapter 406 - Chapter 407: Talents

Although brief, the strengthening effect of Subordinate God summoning on a Campione is undeniable.

"The Seventh King possesses the power to triple his strength for a short period?"

The Campione himself, plus two Subordinate Gods.

For ten minutes, that is equivalent to three Campiones.

Even Luo Hao and Marquis Voban would probably have to avoid such power.

"So..."

"Regarding the naming of the New King's Authority, Princess Alice?"

Rather than naming it, this was more of an indirect way of asking what Authority the Seventh King had usurped.

Additionally, when a Campione first gains an Authority, it does not actually have a specific name.

There are only incantations, along with the understanding and application of that Authority.

Therefore, the hidden world and the mystical side often name the New King's Authorities.

To avoid displeasing the Campione, this task falls to the Council of Sages' consultant, Princess Alice.

Whenever she determines the name of an Authority, the entire mystical side refers to it as such.

However, this behavior always carries a certain risk.

For example, a Campione might be displeased if the Authority's name is not appealing.

"Lost Atlantis."

When they heard the name of this Authority, the sages merely frowned in thought, guessing its origin and specific effects.

Which Heretic God did the Seventh King slay to obtain this Authority?

However, before they could think further, Princess Alice spoke again.

"Path to Hell."

"???"

What does that mean?

Lost Atlantis. Path to Hell.

Are those both names of Authorities?

"No."

"This is..."

The new Chairman of the Council of Sages paled in shock.

"Two Authorities?"

It was well known that slaying one Heretic God could only grant one new Authority. With bad luck, one might even gain nothing.

However, the Seventh King unexpectedly obtained two Authorities at once.

Does this not mean that Rin directly eliminated two mythological gods?

"Original Seven Deadly Sins."

"Rebellion Against God."

"Scales of Good and Evil."

What truly baffled the sages was that Alice's report was still not over.

"The above are the names of the five Authorities possessed by the Seventh King."

"..."

Not one, not two, but five. A full five.

"Your Royal Highness."

The Chairman of the Council stammered, "Are you saying that the Seventh King slew a full five Heretic Gods?"

However, Alice no longer responded to them and stated very simply that from today onward, she would resign from her position as advisor to the Council of Sages.

This announcement was to be considered a farewell gift.

The sages dared not stop her. They also understood the risk she had taken to speak those words.

She had done her utmost.

"Hoo."

Returning to her room, Alice let out a long sigh of relief.

Who could imagine what she had seen when she observed Rin?

As the person with the strongest spiritual vision in the Campione World, she had never seen such an existence.

Innumerable spheres of light, densely packed.

Each one seemed to contain a true universe.

At first, she did not realize the gravity of the situation.

It was not until that strange and foolish melody sounded that she felt as if her entire being had fallen into a chaotic void, seeing and hearing only indescribable things.

If she had not reacted in time and immediately cut off her spiritual vision, by now she would have been overwhelmed by the immense information, and even her physical body would have transformed into a twisted monster.

"You, who exactly are you..."

Although she saved her life, Alice became connected to a certain will.

The other party called herself Violet.

Even now, whenever Alice closed her eyes, she would float in that void and see that ethereal and majestic figure outside the Campione Universe.

The other party was like a witch sitting behind a crystal ball, looking down at her world from beyond the universe.

"You are very good."

Violet's voice echoed in her ears.

"Be prepared. When That great one arrives, pledge your loyalty to him."

"Yes."

Alice did not hesitate. She was a very pragmatic person.

Moreover, Violet had given her an offer she could not refuse.

As long as she obeyed, That great one would solve her problem of physical frailty and grant her health.

"Princess Alice of the Council of Sages?"

On the other side, Rin, sitting on the sun raft, received information about her from Violet.

Previously, because Alice had been in a state of slumber, no transaction had been made between them.

Violet had not informed him about this matter.

Now that Alice was awake and willing to submit, Violet immediately said, "She is a very excellent talent for internal affairs."

"Ho ho."

Rin laughed. "As expected of you, Violet. You truly understand me."

What the Monster Nation needed most were not reckless fighters.

Because Rin already had too many of them.

Instead, those with management experience, like Alice, Holy Child, and Justeaze, were more appealing to him.

As for Alice revealing the Authorities he possessed, this was implicitly permitted by Violet herself.

After all, they were only trivial Authorities.

As long as the secrets of In the Name of the Father and Solar Calendar were not exposed, it did not matter.

"Was she unable to observe them, or did she conceal them?"

"Unable to observe."

"The Solar Calendar and In the Name of the Father have exceeded the limits of a witch's spiritual vision."

"She cannot see them."

Violet's instruction for Alice to make the announcement was itself a test of her potential.

And she did not disappoint. She observed the essence of the five Authorities all at once.

Such talent truly delighted Violet, making her feel that she had found another capable person for Rin.

Speaking of which, Violet was quite interested in finding talent.

Like the Glimmering Crystal Flowers of Paldea, she was dedicated to building a better Monster Nation for Rin.

And talent was the cornerstone of the Monster Nation's progress.
