Chapter 279: Awakened Ability, Dalaran Shocked, Resurrection!

The objects one enlarges have a certain time limit, and these enlarged things consume some of one's energy or stamina.

After the Titan God Iron and white dwarf star metal were just enlarged, Luode could clearly feel that part of his energy had been consumed.

Afterward, Luode began further experiments, doubling the size of small pebbles, tree branches, even weapons, and so on.

Luode clearly felt that enlarging an ordinary pebble or a cannonball for attack would not consume much of his energy, and could even be said to be negligible.

It might consume only a bit of stamina, and these ordinary items, once enlarged, can last a long time—even over 24 hours—but eventually they revert to their original size.

Luode also tried some even more ordinary ores, but without exception, none of them could be preserved for a long time.

Moreover, the higher the grade of the ore, the more energy is consumed when enlarging it, and likewise its duration becomes shorter.

Next, Luode tested his attack, amplifying a spell released with fel power by a hundredfold.

He released a Tailed Beast Ball of minimal power, then used the power of the Mute-Mute Fruit to strengthen it a hundredfold.

Its power is enough to destroy several huge cities; this does consume some of his internal energy, but it is completely worthwhile.

Because the energy consumed is much less than when he fully releases a Tailed Beast Ball or a full-power fel spell.

This is a suitable attack method; combined with his current hundredfold speed increase, Luode's combat power is terrifying.

The amplified attack is perfect, but using this ability to mass-produce precious ores or other things won't work.

But what if! After using the ability awakened by the fruit to change an object's size? Luode suddenly had a bold idea in the pirate world.

The Devil Fruit ability can indeed produce permanent effects, but only if a condition is met: the fruit must be awakened.

After Luode ate this Devil Fruit, he met the standard for awakening; the skills he had used before were the fruit's abilities in the unawakened state, so let's try the awakened state's abilities.

Luode once again picked up a piece of ordinary Titan God Iron and began enlarging it, first by ten times, from fist-sized to a washbasin-sized piece of Titan God Iron.

This time, Luode could clearly feel that a lot of his internal energy had been drained.

The item is indeed enlarged, but the fruit's ability does not create matter out of nothing; it consumes his internal energy to convert and increase mass.

In the unawakened state versus the awakened state, the energy consumed to permanently change an object's size is not proportional at all.

For example, now Luode mobilizes all his internal energy to enlarge a piece of Titan God Body a hundredfold, completely altering its energy-matter structure, and the energy consumed is also tremendously terrifying.

It amounts to about one-tenth of his internal energy, and if the consumption of a certain energy reaches a balance point, his energy may not be replenished and could possibly be permanently reduced.

The effect of permanently enlarging white dwarf star metal is the same, and even consumes more energy than Titan God Iron.

White dwarf star has greater mass; Luode's internal energy would need to consume about twenty percent to permanently enlarge an ordinary piece of white dwarf star metal.

Using this ability to permanently enlarge an object requires mobilizing the awakened fruit's energy, and the energy consumed is countless times more than for ordinary items; although he ate the Multiply Fruit, Luode still must obey the law of conservation of energy.

It seems that the method of President Sa is more labor-saving: using Titan's divine power to directly turn ordinary metal into Titan God Iron.

He can indeed use this method to increase the amount of Titan God Iron or white dwarf star metal, but the energy consumption is still terribly frightening, making large-scale use impossible, though small-scale production is fine.

Next, Luode used this method to produce quite a bit of Titan God Iron; as for white dwarf star metal, its weight is truly too heavy—even with the current Beast Pirates, few can wield such a weapon.

Luode directly gave these Titan God Irons to his father-in-law Kaido, to have him forge weapons for the Beast Pirates' high-ranking members; his father-in-law gets along well with the dwarf clan.

Using part of the Titan metal as payment, these dwarves are quite willing to come help forge weapons.

The Three Calamities and the Six Who Soar have all been strengthened.

On the other side, the resurrected Sylvanas also arrived at Dalaran City via a teleportation array, her expression somewhat complex as she gazed at the massive city before her.

Her only relative in this world, Vereesa, resides here.

When she had just broken free of the Lich King's control, she wanted to see her family, but at that time she felt inferior and could not face her living sister.

But now it's different; she has been completely resurrected, and the former ranger general has returned.

This time, she wants to reunite with her sister, to recognize her only relative in this world! "Hello, blood elf lady, please register your name and explain to us your purpose for coming to Dalaran," the mage in charge of guarding the teleportation array asked. "Hello, mage, I am here to seek my kin!" Sylvanas took a deep breath and said.

"No problem, blood elf lady, Dalaran welcomes your blood elf kin to come visit relatives."

"Then could you please register your name?"

"And could you tell me the name of the relative you seek? I will point you in the right direction and complete the registration." The mage in charge of the teleportation array asked.

Many high elf mages live in Dalaran; these people have not returned to their blood elf kin.

Instead of returning to Silvermoon City to reside, they chose to become members of Dalaran and remain in the Alliance.

So recently, many blood elves have come to Dalaran to visit relatives.

"I am the Banshee Queen of Undercity, I am Sylvanas, and my sister is a member of the Kirin Tor Six, wife of Rhonin." Sylvanas smiled and said.

"Uh! Please, lady, I didn't mishear, did I?"

"You just said you are the Banshee Queen Sylvanas; you're sure you're not joking with me, right?"

The Dalaran mage in charge of registration put down his spellbook, put on a solemn expression, and spoke.

As everyone knows, the Banshee Queen of Undercity, Sylvanas, was once the ranger general of Quel'Thalas, and she is indeed Vereesa's sister.

However, she had died long ago and was resurrected by the Scourge undead as a banshee.

Although she eventually broke free of the Lich King's control, regained her self-awareness, and became the Banshee Queen of Undercity, she is an undead.

But the high elf before her, with golden hair, snow-white skin, and eyes flashing a faint blue light, is clearly a living being, not an undead.

"How? Does my current appearance surprise you? But don't doubt, I am Sylvanas, I'm not joking with you; tell me where my sister is, and I'll go find her myself." Sylvanas spoke.

It seems her resurrection as a living person coming to Dalaran has indeed caused a great stir! The mage guarding the teleportation array hesitated a moment, then opened his magical communicator and began calling his superiors.

Since the other party's tone didn't sound like joking, he chose to report this to Rhonin, having Archmage Rhonin come personally to handle it.

"Please wait a moment! This high elf lady, someone will soon come to verify whether what you say is true or false." Obviously, this Dalaran mage still did not believe Sylvanas's words.

Come on, what kind of joke is this? How could he accept that the dead are resurrected? The world of Azeroth has some resurrection-type spells, but they all have great limitations, and the resurrection conditions are extremely stringent.

Never has one heard of a resurrection-type spell that can bring back to life someone dead for several years, or even already turned into an undead; this is utterly unimaginable!

Sylvanas didn't wait long; soon a Dalaran mage in a purple robe, accompanied by a female elf with golden hair, rushed over.

The visitor was none other than Rhonin, a member of the Kirin Tor, and his wife Vereesa.

"Mage Sax, thank you for the notice; I'll take it from here. You go handle other places!"

The mage in charge of guarding the teleportation array nodded at Rhonin, then turned and left.

Looking at the woman before him, Luo Ning was certain that her features were indeed Sylvanas's.

Luo Ning had seen Sylvanas's appearance in life, after all he had married her sister, but the other party came in the form of a living person, which is a bit too absurd!

Wen Leisa came trembling to her sister's side, looking at that familiar face, and shakily reached out to touch her cheek.

What she felt was the breath of a living person, warm skin— the woman before her, could she really be her sister?

"I, I simply can't believe it, really, really are you? Sylvanas sister?" Wen Leisha asked, her voice trembling.

Good heavens! My sister is clearly an undead, and she has already died, yet Keke now appears alive before my eyes.

"Don't doubt, my sister, believe your eyes, believe your feelings—I have indeed come back to life; actually, I came back to life over a year ago.

But at that time I had only recovered the sensation of being alive, not a full resurrection.

"But this time I have fully resurrected." Sylvanas said with a smile. (End of chapter)
