Samuel smiled and patted Barbara Minerva's back, and used Telekinesis to take the yellow crystal wishing stone into his hand: "Who said you were wishing to it? Just now, you were wishing to me!"
"Wishing to you?"
"You, you can also make people's wishes come true?"
Barbara Minerva was extremely surprised, then she asked excitedly: "Is your wishing also only once per person? Do I still have a chance to wish to become stronger?"
"Depends on your performance."
Samuel replied perfunctorily, and took her back home via teleportation.
Opening the dimensional space and throwing the yellow crystal wishing stone in, Samuel used Mind Manipulation Ability to project the image of the golden eagle armor into Barbara Minerva's mind.
"Find it."
"Ah, okay, okay, I'll go look for it now."
The sudden image in her mind made Barbara Minerva stunned for a few seconds, then she nodded excitedly and turned to leave in a hurry.
Barbara Minerva didn't get any benefits from Samuel, but instead had to work for him, but when she thought that he could make her stronger, she immediately became willing and full of motivation.
After Barbara Minerva left, Samuel focused on researching Wishing Power.
Although the wishing stone and Wishing Power originated from the same source, they were independent of each other. The same person could make a wish to the wishing stone and Wishing Power separately, once each.
In addition, the biggest difference between the wishing stone and Wishing Power was their autonomy.
The wishing stone's operating mechanism was set by the god of lies deceiving the Duke, and there were two ways to fulfill wishes.
One was similar to robbing Peter to pay Paul, or rather, diverting water from the south to the north, or swapping left and right.
Simply put, if someone successfully wished and had their health taken away, and then another person wished to gain health, the wishing stone would give them health, take something else from them, and so on and so forth, repeating the process.
Maxwell Lorenzano, who became the wishing stone itself, could freely decide what to take, or to whom to give what was taken!
In the movie, Barbara Minerva could still become the complete Cheetah even after making a wish, because he transferred the power from other wishers to her!
The other way was to use the power of the common element, Wishing Power, to fulfill wishes.
The power of the Power of Lies comes from lies. To put it simply, the more people believe the 'lie' of the wishing stone, the stronger the Power of Lies becomes.
Samuel felt that the Power of Lies and the Power of Truth from the Truth Lasso, these universal elemental powers, were quite idealistic; they were strong if believed, and weak if not believed.
They are invisible and intangible, fundamentally unusable without a medium, and cannot be measured.
The method for Wishing Power to grant wishes is the same as the wishing stone. The difference is that besides deciding what to take and freely distributing what is taken, Samuel can also decide whether or not to activate this ability.
Just like the Energy Absorption ability obtained from Black King Shaw before, he can decide whether to activate or deactivate it, which is why he burst his clothes during previous battles!
Because he didn't activate the Energy Absorption ability, he didn't passively absorb the energy and kinetic energy that got close to him. As for why?
Hahaha—
Once activated, all passive physical contact becomes impossible. He can also forget about saying provocative things like 'Come up and move yourself,' because as soon as the other party tries to do anything and gets close, their kinetic energy will be absorbed!
Wishing Power is the same.
If it couldn't be freely switched on and off, who knows when someone might accidentally make a wish when they touch You?
Just like the wishing stone itself, limited by the wishing stone, its freedom is limited. At most, it turned the wishing stone from rigid mechanical operation into intelligent manual operation.
A true tool!
Simply put, the wishing stone is a pre-set program, while Wishing Power is a kind of power. The two have fundamental differences!
If he is willing to spend time and effort to properly research and use Wishing Power, as more and more people make wishes, and more and more people believe that wishing to him can make their wishes come true, he could even become like the God of War and the god of lies — a God of Wishing!
Of course, occasionally showing off and making the concept of being omniscient and omnipotent more abundant and real is enough. Becoming a God of Wishing is not his pursuit.
Evening.
Samuel brought Helen and Venilia back and, while he was at it, left an illusion clone of Atlanta in Atlantis and brought her along as well.
One reason was to let her get acquainted with Diana. After all, they would be interacting a lot in the future. They were all his people, good sisters, and getting familiar wouldn't hurt.
Cough, cough, in terms of identity and status, 'good sisters' might not be entirely appropriate, but understanding the spirit is fine.
Another reason was that Diana and the others needed to adapt to human society, and Atlanta needed to as well. At the very least, she needed to know that ornamental fish kept as pets shouldn't be eaten, let alone eaten raw, right?
When Diana got home from work, Helen had already prepared a table full of dishes.
Soon, she also became familiar with Atlanta.
After several dishes and rounds of drinks.
Samuel beckoned to the one whose face was slightly flushed, preparing to talk with her about going to the Trench Kingdom tomorrow to find neptune's trident.
Atlanta and Helen switched seats. Atlanta, slightly tipsy, pulled Samuel's hand and placed it against her face.
In an instant, the expressions of everyone else at the table became strange.
They all knew about the relationship between Samuel and Atlanta. After all, they had been living together for so long, and yesterday was the first time Samuel didn't come home at night.
For various different reasons, they didn't have the idea of 'knifing' Samuel or Atlanta, but they truly didn't expect Atlanta to do something like this!
Well, it wasn't something outrageous or surprising, it was just that they rarely made such displays of affection and 'dog food' in front of everyone in their usual lives.
Even Helen, who was the closest to Samuel, would only be overly intimate in private, never when everyone else was around.
But Atlanta—
She is the Queen of Atlantis!
The Queen!
She actually initiated a face-touching move!
No wonder her power as Queen was seized by the Captain of the guard, Ovakx. So cute and so like a little woman, how could she be Queen? How could she command respect!
Samuel was also quite surprised, not expecting the drunk Atlanta to have such a contrasting adorable side.
"I'm going to the Trench Kingdom tomorrow to find neptune's trident, You—"
"neptune's trident is in the Trench Kingdom?!"
Atlanta instantly let go of Samuel's hand, then sat up straight and said with a serious face, "I really didn't expect the neptune's trident, which we've been searching for for so long, to be in the Trench Kingdom. Although the Trench have gradually degenerated into savage creatures, they must still remember and recognize neptune's trident."
"I'll go with You tomorrow!"
