Chapter 513: Lakyus: So you weren't just calling yourself the

~7 min read 1,240 words

Upon hearing that a special technique had been planted in his heart, and that it would detonate the moment he committed an act of betrayal, a look of utter despair appeared on Nigen's face.

Furthermore, due to Shengzai's strength and methods, Nigen completely abandoned the idea of returning to the Slane Theocracy to have a bishop or the Pope remove the technique.

It wasn't that Nigen wanted to be a lackey, but that he couldn't afford to gamble; could someone capable of driving a True Long Wang be an ordinary character?

What if the big shots in the Theocracy weren't as strong as Shengzai? Wouldn't he be finished?

Therefore, with no other choice, he could only choose to obey obediently.

And looking at it from another angle, this might not necessarily be a bad opportunity for him. After all, with the strength of Shengzai and the True Long Wang by his side, clinging to such a powerful thigh might actually lead to the other party helping him ascend to the position of Pope.

Moreover, Shengzai didn't make him work for free. Aside from the empty promise of the Papal position, Shengzai also bestowed a bit of "Evolutionary Power" upon Nigen.

Based on the idea of using both carrots and sticks, and taking Nigen as a free test subject, this bit of "Evolutionary Power" from Shengzai directly allowed Nigen to complete a metamorphosis!

As everyone knows, the levels in the Overlord World are divided into "Job Levels" and "Racial Levels."

Just as Overlord is a max-level specialized Necromancer with 40 Racial Levels + 60 Job Levels, Albedo is a super-strong tank with 30 Racial Levels + 70 Job Levels.

Their respective Job Levels are their Overlord and Succubus classes.

And because the human race is too weak, they inherently have no Racial Levels, or rather, their Racial Levels are extremely low...

If it were in a game, it would be fine; one could gradually max out levels through various experience points and items.

However, this is an alternate world now, and breaking through one's own racial limits is not a simple matter.

With only Job Levels and no Racial Levels, human powerhouses are far inferior to those of other races.

And it is because of this reason that a mere level 25 human is hailed as a powerhouse who has reached the "Heroic Realm."

Furthermore, as magic casters, they are forever unable to reach the height of using 7th-tier magic.

But just as Shengzai bestowed a small portion of Evolutionary Power upon Nigen, Nigen could feel that his limits as a human had been raised!

So-called "evolution" originally refers to allowing life to break through limits and reach a higher level of existence.

And clearly, Nigen was now experiencing such power!

Originally, when his level had risen to around 30, he had already felt that he had reached his limit, but now, because of the power bestowed upon him by Shengzai, he felt that he had been sublimated!

That feeling was as if he had become a "God-kin" in the Theocracy... That's right! It was as if he had obtained the power of a god.

With this power, Nigen was certain that in a few years, he might be able to transcend the human realm, use true 7th-tier magic, and summon the Dominion Authority by his own power!

His betrayal was originally forced, but now, at the moment of experiencing Shengzai's great power, he was truly and sincerely convinced.

The other party could break through racial boundaries with a mere wave of his hand; this was simply a method that only a true god could achieve!

Nigen suddenly felt that turning to Shengzai's side might not be a bad thing after all.

Whether the Six Great Gods worshipped by the Slane Theocracy truly exist, he does not know, but Shengzai before him now is an existence comparable to the legendary Six Great Gods.

Since he is going to be a lackey anyway, isn't working for such a big shot more promising than helping the Theocracy do wrong?

Shengzai hadn't expected that his "Evolutionary Power" would actually work on beings other than his shikigami.

And he hadn't expected that his act of using Nigen as a test subject would be taken by this guy as a gift, to the point where he completely became his sycophant.

Of course, because the result was good, Shengzai naturally didn't tell Nigen this painful truth, and even had Seeing Kang Jinlong give him one of her dragon scales for protection.

Seeing Kang Jinlong's dragon scale can summon one of her clones to fight, with a level of around 50, but because the main body is strong enough, its combat power far exceeds the Dominion Authority Nigen summoned before.

A few days later, the envoys of the Slane Theocracy arrived in the Kingdom, and under Shengzai's negotiation, the Theocracy agreed to compensate the Kingdom with 500,000 gold coins to redeem Nigen and the members of the "Sunlight Scripture."

And after paying another one hundred sets of knight armor blessed with holy light, this matter finally came to an end.

Re-Estize Kingdom, Wang Gong.

Since the matter with the Theocracy was handled, and Shengzai had also made contact with Overlord, he planned to start strengthening himself in the coming time.

After telling King Ramposa III, Shengzai planned to start his adventurer career.

However, just as he was preparing to leave the palace with Seeing Kang Jinlong to go to the Adventurer's Guild to accept commissions and level up, he encountered the person Shengzai least wanted to meet...

"Shengzai, shouldn't you explain to me what's going on with this child beside you?

When you asked me to help you register your adventurer identity before, I already felt that the ranking of your team was very strange.

But I never imagined that you, this "Lord Xiuluo," weren't just calling yourself that for show, but actually have such a hobby!"

The person blocking Shengzai's path at this moment was a beautiful young girl wearing a red princess dress with golden hair.

And behind her followed a girl with the same golden hair, but with her hair tied into a bun, dressed like a ninja.

Because she was entering the palace to visit Shengzai, Lakyus wanted to look more ladylike today, so she wasn't wearing her usual adventurer equipment.

But just as she arrived at Shengzai's palace, Lakyus saw Shengzai in full gear, preparing to go out with a black-haired loli she had never seen before.

As far as Lakyus knew, Shengzai rarely interacted with other women besides practicing swordsmanship, and Shengzai didn't have any of the bad habits that nobles usually have.

But this time, she saw Shengzai with a strange, cute loli, and the other party's attitude toward him was quite intimate. How could she, a proper fiancée, endure this?

"So, haven't I said it many times? That "Lord Xiuluo" thing was completely made up by that guy Renner just to tease me.

Lakyus, you have to believe me. Do you think I'm that kind of pervert?"

Looking at Shengzai's righteous appearance, and then glancing at Seeing Kang Jinlong, who was slightly hostile toward her, Lakyus pointed directly at Seeing Kang Jinlong and asked: "Then explain to me now, what is going on with this child?"

"This guy... she is a companion I recently recruited. In short, things are not what you think..."
