Chapter 1059: Triple God Crown

The Triple God Crown possesses abilities from the three gods, namely "Silver Fire", "Justice Blessing", and "Life Dirge".

Justice Blessing is the ultimate form of the holy swordsman's "Justice Blessing", personally bestowed by the God of Order and Justice, Ti Rui Er, and fixed onto the Triple God Crown.

Wearing it raises one's "Strength" by one level, protects the soul, and is equivalent to the constant nine‑ring "Mind Shield" effect.

Once per day there is also a chance to summon the "Ti Rui Er's Sword".

This holy sword, forged from divine power, can serve as a melee weapon and also strike at a distance, bearing several unique abilities of holy swordsmen. Wielding the "Ti Rui Er's Sword" can fully act as Ti Rui Er's mortal emissary, ranking among the titled Sword Saints of the Justice Church.

Ti Rui Er's blessing is given with great care; even His Chosen Ones are not guaranteed such treatment.

However, this is of little use to Lei En.

His power has already reached mortal limits, so raising a level has no effect; Truth Will is stronger than the Mind Shield, Ti Rui Er's Sword cannot compare to the Thunder God's Hammer, and he has no interest in serving as any mortal emissary.

Ti Rui Er is well aware of this, yet still bestowed the blessing.

The Oriense Empire is His most important realm among mortals, gathering the most followers; the Justice Church's headquarters is also in Nuosiruier. Now that the empire welcomes a new ruler, He must maintain good relations with the emperor and support the emperor, lest the Justice Church lose influence in the empire.

This is a form of statement.

The Mother Earth goddess Gaia is the same; the constant "Life Dirge" on the crown is usually granted only to the Life Envoys of the Earth Church.

Life Dirge constantly blesses the crown‑wearer with blessings from the earth and nature, keeping them vigorous and energetic, immune to toxins and disease; when injured it triggers Advanced Healing, and it can cast Advanced Healing three times daily to heal others.

In addition, Life Dirge includes a "Complete Resurrection".

Although it can only activate once every seven days, it is tantamount to having a second life and cannot be called unprecious!

Unfortunately for Lei En, it is merely a garnish.

The truly strongest aspect of the Triple God Crown is "Silver Fire". Long ago, Lei En saw the Silver Star Duke wield Silver Fire; several of her sisters and other Chosen Ones of the God of Magic also received Silver Fire from Him, though its exact effects were unknown.

During the unveiling ceremony of the God of Magic's statue in Gotan, the God of Magic intended to grant Silver Fire but aborted because He was still a shallow believer.

Lei En gently stroked the crown.

A strand of silvery‑white flame spread from the crown, lightly burning at his fingertips; its interior colors constantly shifted, giving an extremely mysterious impression, as if containing all types of energy in the world, fused together by a wondrous rule, highly stable and possessing effects beyond imagination.

"No wonder…"

Lei En examined the fragment carefully, and couldn't help but feel a sudden realization.

The so‑called "Silver Fire" is actually the divine source of the God of Magic; no wonder He is unwilling to grant it to anyone outside the Chosen Ones, even fervent believers cannot receive it.

A smile appeared on his face.

He is still a shallow believer, but his contributions to the God of Magic surpass those of all other believers, and having become the Oriense emperor makes his position too important.

Therefore He could only make an exception, granting Silver Fire in this form.

Silver Fire has endless wonderful uses.

First, it grants the user super affinity across all disciplines; casting any spell or employing any magical energy becomes equivalent to a super‑elemental level of affinity, such as the Arcane "Void Resonance" or the fire spell "Flame Furnace".

When casting, merging with Silver Fire directly doubles the spell's potency.

Moreover, spells amplified by Silver Fire possess extreme magical penetration, weakening enemies' defenses and resistances, greatly increasing the chance of spell effect and making them hard to resist.

Silver Fire can also adhere to the hand, and when contacting magical items or protections it serves to dispel magic.

It can be released directly as "Silver Fireball", "Silver Fire Curtain", or form a "Silver Fire Shield" that envelops the caster for high‑speed flight.

Back then in Longshande, when the Silver Star Duke first revealed her identity, she transformed into a cluster of silver flame to fly; that was her Silver Fire Shield. Enemy spells striking the Silver Fire Shield were absorbed, converting the energy for her use, similar to the effect of Magic Siphon.

Silver Fire has healing capability, converting other spells into healing.

Silver Fire can also repair magical items, break anti‑magic fields, dispel negative statuses, and so on, and these are only part of its abilities.

Different applications cause Silver Fire to manifest different effects.

In short, Silver Fire's potential is limitless!

Lei En immediately understood: Silver Fire, like Wish Spell, is closely tied to the divine office of the God of Magic, but Silver Fire's manifestation is more concrete and its potency weaker, akin to a diminished version of Wish Spell; it requires the caster to tap their own potential, yet without the massive cost of Wish Spell.

"Interesting…"

Lei En stroked his chin; Silver Fire is excellent and powerful, and he intends to study it thoroughly when he has time.

But there is no need to hold great expectations.

He can cast Wish Spell with almost no cost; currently Silver Fire's greatest function remains the super‑affinity potency boost across all disciplines and magical penetration.

Silver Fire, Justice Blessing, and Life Dirge are each extremely powerful. This second‑tier artifact forged jointly by three deities, though hastily made, possesses potency enough to surpass any mortal‑crafted Legend Grade magical item.

If the Triple God Crown were to fall into the outside world, it would surely unleash a storm of blood and carnage.

Not to mention, it is the emperor's symbol!

"What a pity…"

Lei En shook his head slightly; this Triple God Crown was ultimately forged in haste, ranking at the bottom among second‑tier artifacts, its symbolic meaning outweighing its practical value.

Holy Blood Amber is far more useful than it!

At that moment, footsteps sounded outside the palace.

Through the eye of the Empire's Fist, Lei En knew the newcomer was Viola without turning his head.

The breathtakingly beautiful half‑elf lightened her steps at the palace entrance; in the vast, majestic Rike Palace, only Lei En was present, standing alone before the Golden Throne, holding the Triple God Crown, looking contemplative, which made her hesitant to disturb him.

"Come in," Lei En said with a smile, turning his head.

Viola entered the palace, her gaze falling on Lei En's hand, revealing a hint of something unusual in her eyes.

She was present when Lei En was crowned, witnessing the God of Magic place the crown on his head; the scene was captured by a Camera and printed on the front page of every Imperial newspaper, allowing the populace to see the emperor's majesty and bearing.

Anyone could tell that the crown possessed great potency.

Sure enough, news soon spread from the Justice Church and the Earth Church that the emperor's coronet was actually an artifact!

It is called the "Triple God Crown".

However, aside from the emperor himself, no one knows the Triple God Crown's effects, sparking countless curiosities and speculations.

Artifact!

Viola was extremely curious, yet dared not ask.

Lei En saw her thoughts, casually tossed the Three Gods Crown over, Viola's face instantly lost its color, she hurriedly reached out to catch the crown, carefully cradling it in her hands, her full chest rose and fell uncertainly, she was truly frightened.

"This is the Empire Crown bestowed by the Three Gods, Your Majesty, how could you treat it like this?" Viola, still trembling with lingering fear, scolded.

"What do you call me?" Lei En's expression was somewhat displeased.

"Your…"

Viola immediately recovered, correcting herself: "Lei En."

"That's right." Lei En's face broke into a smile, walked over and gently embraced the beautiful Half-elf, saying, "Others may call me Your Majesty, but how could you keep calling me that? Viola, no matter what status I have, I will always be the young Lei En you first met, unchanged."

Viola nestled in his arms, heart sweet, whispered, "I remember, Lei En."

Then, her attention was drawn to the crown in her hand.

"This…"

The Half-elf felt the power of the Three Gods Crown, her beautiful eyes widened instantly, after a long while she exclaimed, "Truly a divine artifact! So powerful! Lei En, the Three Gods favor you too much!"

"Hehe…" Lei En gave no comment, "All of this I earned myself."

Viola sighed, "Indeed."

Her eyes kept appraising the crown, her hand trembling slightly uncontrollably. This was a divine artifact, symbolizing the ruler of the Empire, now in her hands; the texture was so real that her heart could not settle.

"You can try wearing it." Lei En suddenly smiled.

"Ah…"

Viola was stunned for a moment, then as if greatly frightened, shook her head repeatedly, "How could that work? Lei En, stop joking."

Holding the crown already felt extremely disrespectful to her.

If she dared to wear the crown, it would be an unforgivable transgression, regarded as sacrilege against imperial authority, punishable by death in any realm.

Perhaps Lei En himself did not mind, but countless people in the Empire would leap out to condemn his overreach.

Viola herself also held reverence for imperial authority.

Seeing her unable to bear the shock, Lei En shrugged, "If you don't want to try, that's fine; really, it's nothing major." He then took back the crown and casually placed it on his own head, "It's just a symbol."

Viola exhaled a sigh of relief, helplessly saying, "Lei En, why do you think that way?"

"Whether it's that," Lei En pointed at the towering Golden Throne, then at the crown on his head, "or this thing on my head, they themselves aren't heavy at all. Even without them, even if I lose these two things, I am still the Emperor!"

"I can be Emperor thanks to three things."

"Power, army, and the people's hearts!"

Lei En looked at the beautiful Half-elf, softly saying, "Viola, don't let those lofty titles and false appearances blind your eyes; see the essence of things."

"Yes, I understand." Viola nodded heavily.

The words were so, but who could possess such absolute confidence as Lei En? Lei En differs from any emperor in Empire's history; no other human realm, even tracing back to older ages, has a ruler like him.

Lei En surpasses the limits of mortals; even deities must show respect to this emperor!

Past experience and protocol do not apply to Lei En.

He is the greatest mortal in history!

Viola's heart enlightened, looking at Lei En's eyes filled with boundless admiration, "This is the man I chose, in just a few short years, from an obscure ordinary youth to the pinnacle of the world!"

"Lei En…"

Viola's gaze was hazy, "The most beautiful and fortunate day of my life was the day you entered the Violet House."

"Me too."

Lei En recalled that day's scene.

If Viola hadn't strongly recommended the combat Wizard, he might still have possessed great power and reached a high realm, but would never have achieved today's accomplishments.

The combat Wizard is the most suitable transcendent profession for him!

Lei En suddenly said, "The Three Gods Crown is not fit for you to wear, but I can give you another crown." He lowered his voice, half‑kneeling before the Half‑elf, looking up tenderly, "Viola, will you become my Empress?"

Viola covered her mouth, tears instantly filling her eyes.

She had waited this day for too long.

"I do!"

Viola burst into joyous tears, clasping Lei En's neck with both hands, holding him tightly, her whole body trembling with excitement.

"In a while, we'll pick a day for your coronation ceremony," Lei En smiled.

Viola nodded, "Everything follows your arrangement."

She had thought Lei En would never speak to her, even though he had already named his son Octavis as heir, but Lei En was still young, lived long, the heir's title held little meaning; now that he had become Emperor, she dared not hope further.

She did not expect Lei En to give such a huge surprise.

Empress!

Before meeting Lei En, Viola never dreamed she would one day become the Empire's Empress; her heart pounded.

The huge surprise made her head spin, she would answer whatever Lei En said.

Lei En gently stroked the Half‑elf's back; after a long while the Half‑elf's mood finally recovered a bit, her exquisite face beaming with a happy smile. Seeing Viola so glad, Lei En's own mood was also pleasant, and he asked, "Did you come to me for something?"

"Uh, yes."

Viola recalled the business, saying, "Lei En, Viscount Bade, Lady Marinda, and Buli Sete, Kalodi, Cathy and their whole families are waiting to see you. Queen Aimilisi, Falanjiska, Polarice, they and their children have also arrived."

Since Lei En's coronation as Emperor, he has not seen his family or children.

They must be waiting anxiously.

"You have everything arranged?" Lei En asked.

"I arranged a family dinner at He Palace residence; everyone looks forward to dining with you," Viola said with a smile, "Octavis hasn't seen his father for three days, keeps nagging to find you."

He opened a portal and took Viola through it, appearing in the He Palace residence's dining hall. A ten‑meter‑long banquet table had the entire Augustus family seated on both sides; when they saw Lei En, with a whoosh, everyone stood up.

He opened a portal, taking Viola inside, and they appeared in the dining hall of the He Palace mansion. Seated on both sides of a dining table over ten meters long were all members of the Augustus family; when they saw Lei En's figure, with a clatter they all rose to their feet.
