My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 428 - 326: The Coffin That Nails Down Zeus

As for the solution...

Xue Dili had to try sealing and recovering in the coming time; he dared not let Zeus’s Heroic Spirit wander in this world, nor did he dare to directly recover Zeus, allowing himself to be parasitized by the power of propagation.

So he could only try sealing, and luckily, Xue Dili really had a way to successfully seal, which was by making a specific cross through the Divine Tree to bind Zeus’s hands, feet, and lower body, thus completing the seal.

Practically the entire night was spent cleaning up this mess, Xue Dili initially tried to replicate the way Zeus imprisoned his father, but failed, and ultimately reached the seal by recalling the martyrdom of a certain Holy Son.

Even after achieving the seal, however, Xue Dili still frowned, as the power of propagation seemed to infiltrate everywhere, trying to control him.

He took a deep breath, gradually suppressing propagation through the power of Genesis, and gradually allowing propagation to no longer affect him.

After a long time of this, once everything was accomplished, Xue Dili finally let out a sigh of relief, having thoroughly sealed Zeus.

He could actually feel that the propagating Zeus now was very strong; while possibly not as strong as during the prologue of the Seven Days of Destruction in his life, he was still stronger than his usual state.

In other words, Tier Five strength! It might even be not a low Tier Five strength.

However, this Tier Five power can’t be easily used; Xue Dili hoped to never use it in his life, as he didn’t want to experience the feeling of his tiny head taking over his thinking ability again.

Yet Xue Dili wouldn’t mind releasing Zeus in a critical moment, like if he were to arrive on the mother planet of the Insect Race, he’d certainly decisively throw Zeus out and run, and then seal this Technique for life, never using it, letting Zeus wander off to another planet.

As for the subsequent battle between Zeus and the insect horde, he would not participate, wouldn’t dare to look, wasn’t curious, and feared he’d get styes.

Finally, after everything was settled, the sky was already lightening, with most of the night wasted in a battle of wits and courage with Zeus.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The door of the underground library was knocked on, and a crisp voice of a noble young lady came from outside, "Lord Heroic Spirit, the carriage is ready."

"Also, Father is waiting for your response." Outside, the noble young lady seemed highly respectful outwardly, yet the slight frown in her eyebrows revealed her arrogance.

"Alright." Xue Dili, wearing his glasses again, silently walked out from the underground library, not caring at all about the attitude of the noble young lady.

The carriage stopped in front of the noble’s mansion entrance, and Xue Dili smiled as he boarded the carriage.

The Count and his two daughters sat on one side of the carriage, then asked Xue Dili, "How have you considered, sir? An entire night has passed; you should have already noticed your lack of magic power, shouldn’t you?"

Xue Dili smiled, placing a hand slightly on his bangs, looking at the three members of the Count’s Family through the lenses, inwardly saying silently, "Complete Hypnosis!"

A hint of Magic Power entered their minds, and they were momentarily taken aback, feeling their spirits become momentarily dazed.

Hypnosis, Time Stop, and Charm were abilities Xue Dili once developed through the Modifier, but with the disappearance of the Modifier, these abilities no longer worked well.

However, a bit of Basic Techniques was still retained; maybe not very effective against those of the same tier, but when facing people much weaker than himself, Complete Hypnosis could still be effective.

For the three members of the Count’s Family, they only felt a momentary daze and then no other anomalies.

In their memories, a Demon Contract had been made, so they happily paid respects to Xue Dili, saying, "Thank you for your support, sir. Please complete your grand achievements in the future expedition."

This Count’s family was very smart; even if they still treated the Heroic Spirit as a subordinate, at least outwardly they presented a respectful subservient stance.

Even if they scorned him at heart, their outward act was genuinely well-done.

Unlike that little beggar, who directly showed disdain and domineering on his face.

"Sir, may I have the honor of hearing your true name?" The Count continued to ask.

"True name, huh? You can call me ’Mad Viscount’." Xue Dili lowered his bangs, looking at the Count through his lenses.

At that moment, the Count’s pupils contracted, nearly standing up in excitement.

Originally, he shouldn’t have easily believed Xue Dili, as Xue Dili at this time was also just a facade; he was intended to conceal his identity as an alien visitor.

But under the influence of Complete Hypnosis, this old Count seemed to believe, becoming increasingly deferential.

As for whether the facade might be uncovered later?

To Xue Dili, he had countless ways to truly achieve the classic Techniques of the former ’Mad Viscount’, after all, he had already used a similar Technique to summon a propagating Zeus.

With the same moves, same values, and same abilities, why couldn’t he be considered the ’Mad Viscount’?

By this time, the steam carriage had stopped at the entrance to the Imperial Palace, and the old butler said, "Sir, we have arrived at the Imperial Palace."

Xue Dili got off the carriage, accompanied by one of the Count’s daughters.

"Sir, my name is Lana Laurent." The noble young lady, dressed in a white gauze dress, was proud as a swan, but at least she outwardly showed respect to Xue Dili.

But Xue Dili only nodded slightly; he didn’t care about this young lady or, more accurately, he was there to investigate anomalies in this world.
