Chapter 514: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 242

But a small deviation may have occurred in between.

At the very least, in Odin's memories, the Knight King he knew was never that absurd.

'Where exactly did things go wrong?'

The old man couldn't help muttering to himself—if Celtic mythology were truly that powerful, what room would be left for other pantheons?

After all, in mythology, many great deities ranked above the Knight King.

But Odin did not know that Excalibur, even within the Type-Moon universe, was an unusually unique existence.

As he continued to let his thoughts wander, a voice calmly entered his ears.

"Find out first what they intend to do. Try not to reveal my existence."

Paper can never fully cover fire.

Li Ang was well aware that after he had taken the Eight Realms, the events within the Norse pantheon would inevitably be exposed one day.

And when that day came, most pantheons in the DXD world would become his enemies, for no one dared gamble that their own pantheon wouldn't be the next target.

Although Li Ang had already decided which pantheons' realms he would next absorb, even if he said so, no one would believe him.

Fortunately, the 【Great Luo Insight】 concealed him—within the short term, exposure should still be avoidable, provided no unexpected incidents occurred.

"Yes, I understand."

After receiving the order, Odin gave a slight nod and withdrew.

After watching the white-haired elder depart, Li Ang turned to Skadi: "I rely on you, Lady Skadi, to handle the affairs of the Norse pantheon."

Although the Norse gods turned into Divine Relics posed no threat of rebellion, managing them as a long-term hidden card still required oversight.

Not to mention Li Ang had discovered that certain Servants gained enhanced abilities when wielding specific Divine Relics—for instance, Skadi's power was greatly amplified when holding the 【Eye of the God of Wisdom】 and the 【Snow Boots of the Goddess of Winter】.

Upon hearing this, Skadi gave a light nod. "I understand."

"How has Orpheus been lately?"

In response, Skadi answered truthfully: "The child doesn't cause trouble or complain, but she sometimes sits alone, lost in thought."

In truth, Orpheus was older than her, but her mind was overly innocent, causing the Queen to unconsciously still treat her like a child.

Hearing this, Li Ang fell silent.

He naturally knew the Infinite Dragon God was longing for home, but right now he simply couldn't spare the time.

To find the 【Great Red】, he would have to wait until he finished dealing with matters inside the DXD world.

Although he hadn't yet decided how to handle her, he would ultimately let Orpheus return to the Dimensional Gap—though where that Gap would be by then was uncertain.

Seeing his master's expression, Skadi said nothing more and quietly withdrew.

After a while, Li Ang exhaled softly, putting Orpheus out of his mind, and pulled out the four vials of blood from the Four Great Demons he had collected not long ago.

Then, after mixing the four vials together, Li Ang tilted his head back and drank it all.

Like the 【Black Emperor】, after learning the cheating skill 【Saint's Theft】, he no longer needed to study how to increase his bloodline concentration—he only needed to eat.

【Using Saint's Theft to consume Demon King's blood, demon bloodline concentration +152%】.

【Using Saint's Theft, skill experience +327】.

【Successfully enhanced demon bloodline; special bonuses will be generated upon subsequent class advancement】.

Watching the continuous pop-up notifications on his panel, Li Ang couldn't help but smile slightly.

Because the class advancement for 【??? (bloodline pending)】 was extremely easy, he didn't need much Demon King's blood to raise his demon bloodline concentration—this was why he hadn't captured all four Demon Kings together.

Seeing that all conditions for 【Servant of the Abyss】 had been met, Li Ang took a slow breath to calm himself.

Compared to condition two, the other two advancement conditions had been far easier to complete.

For instance, the requirement to 【complete one hundred demon contracts】—with his shadow clones and 【Double Full Hand】, he could make ordinary humans sign whatever contracts he wanted.

But to Li Ang, ordinary humans were useless, so he ultimately only had them sign the simplest contracts.

And 【Servant of the Abyss】 reached its maximum level during this process; normally, the experience wouldn't have been enough, but who had the cheating skill 【Heaven and Human Unity】?

With the dual buffs of gaining experience even while idle and increased experience gain efficiency, 【Servant of the Abyss】—a first-tier class—had reached max level on the very day he obtained it.

'Huh, it's time to see what makes this Abyss-class profession so unusual.'

With this thought, Li Ang immediately selected class advancement.
