Chapter 980 273: The Starry Pact Under the Moon, Elanna's Confession, Choice of Fate (10K)
In the quiet moments, Magic Monarchs from various forces represented their nations, completing the technical exchanges regarding the Floating City.
At this point, all relevant affairs concerning the Floating City have essentially come to an end.
That evening, in the Golden City, Kael was resting in a tea house.
In the City of Eternal Night, with its ever-flashing neon lights, finding such a quiet place free from light pollution is not easy.
With matters of the Floating City concluded, what lies ahead is an unpredictable fate.
As Kael raised his head to gaze at the stars, he heard familiar footsteps while experiencing various magic effects on his body.
He turned his head towards the source of the footsteps and saw Elanna, clad in half-armor, alongside her teacher, Olivia.
"Olivia, teacher, I don't recall inviting you to this quiet spot my wife and I found for some alone time, especially as an unwanted guest."
Olivia, unfazed, shook the bottle in her hand and said, "Don't worry, just consider me a drunkard, blind and deaf to everything. Continue the music and festivities, pay me no mind."
Kael, resigned, changed his words, "Sister Olivia, what's your reason for following us? Honestly, I don't think you're someone who likes to be a bother."
Olivia shrugged, took a sip of her drink, and said, "Mainly because Elanna's body is extremely unstable now; I'm a bit concerned, so I followed along."
"Unstable?"
Kael's gaze turned to Elanna, realizing that her aura had unknowingly expanded to a Holy Realm level, and it was visibly growing.
"What have you done?"
Kael's tone became somewhat dangerous.
Power doesn't emerge suddenly like rootless water; even by normal advancement standards, Kael was already considered to have reached the theoretical maximum promotion speed.
Seeing a group of Magic Monarchs misunderstanding Kael as the ultimate beneficiary of the Replica Godhood Chip showed that even among magically gifted Monarchs, few considered Kael's promotion speed and knowledge normal.
Indeed… it wasn't normal.
But precisely how it was achieved, he wasn't able to disclose.
Because he believes his circumstances likely can't be replicated.
Nonetheless, even with his situation, he remains at the third stage of the Holy Realm. While his overall strength has reached the level of Magic Monarch, in terms of realm, he is now oddly similar to Elanna.
This is a terrifying notion.
Undoubtedly, even with Elanna's talents, achieving a smooth ascension to the Holy Realm with the help of the Gluttonous Slime would likely take 3-10 years.
Yet now, Elanna stands before him with such prowess.
His gaze grew more serious.
Such circumstances could only mean Elanna resorted to some questionable means.
He has clear plans for Elanna's future; if those plans are realized smoothly, Elanna could accompany him far and wide, but now, someone seems to have pre-arranged her path, and it appears to be the quick-fix, risky method most prone to side effects...
His gaze shifted to Olivia, tapping the table, he said, "I think Sister Olivia, you owe me an explanation."
"Open a domain, though I'm a bit tired lately; I won't open a domain now."
Kael nodded.
In the next moment, the group was pulled into a domain.
"Tell me, why has Elanna exhibited such abnormal strength growth?"
Elanna, wearing hand armor, lightly tugged Kael's sleeve. Kael took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and turned his gaze to Olivia, clearly wanting an answer from her.
Olivia poured a bit of wine into a teacup, took a small sip, and said, "Rest assured, for her, there's no safer growth method than this. As all extraordinary power has a source, there's no baseless growth...
This statement is entirely correct, so giving her a reasonable and reliable growth is best."
"What is it?" Kael didn't believe the woman's nonsense and pursued further.
Olivia paused slightly in her drinking gesture, smiled, and said, "Using the Legendary Strongman's essence to nurture a Holy Sanctuary Body, it's just this simple method."
Kael shook his head and said, "Ordinary Legendary Essence, during the conversion process, would inevitably bring about much waste. If it's only for upgrading one's level, even Legendary Essence wouldn't provide much of a boost."
Olivia was surprised, smiling she said, "Didn't expect you to know even about this."
Kael sighed, "Have you all forgotten? Back then, I only survived due to absorbing my father's Holy Sanctuary Crystal."
Legendary Essence is actually another term for the Holy Sanctuary Crystal, representing the essence of a Legendary Strongman.
