--- Chapter 347 ---
After the reunion, everyone had a sumptuous dinner.
Rossweisse shared her story with the ladies, and they couldn't help but gasp in surprise at her strong tenacity.
Huang Qiu'er sympathized with the goddess of magic's situation, but she couldn't understand her crippling loneliness because she had been at Huo Yuhao's side all this time.
Meanwhile, Robin and Raikou understood Rossweisse's feelings more.
They were robbed of their precious time with Huo Yuhao by the cursed timelines they were in. Raikou is 'actually' forced to abandon her history and walk on a new path, enduring the loneliness.
Robin's body got stolen by the Phantom Lord, forcing her to lock herself in a mental domain and suffer for years.
Ultimately, they met with Huo Yuhao again. He even paid more attention to them now. Even though it was out of guilt, they are satisfied by it.
At the very least, Huo Yuhao has a conscience about them.
"Magic, huh?" Huang Qiu'er mumbled. "Rossweisse, how strong are you compared to the gods in the Draconic Deus? I've only heard of them before, so I don't know how to gauge their strength."
Rossweisse sipped her herbal tea and replied, "I'm a 1st Class God, so my strength is above them. Of course, some would give a problem, but the remaining are easy to handle."
"As long as I understand their strength and weakness, I can defeat them all with my Akashic Magical Codes given enough time."
Robin raised her eyebrow, "You're stronger than me and Raikou."
"Yeah," Raikou agreed with Robin as she observed Rossweisse, finding it hard to nurture the goddess of magic because she had walked her most optimal path.
Even if Raikou helped Rossweisse, her growth wouldn't increase much.
Rossweisse put on a helpless expression and replied, "You can't be too sure. The future is unknown. You might become stronger than me."
"Not to mention, the path I took is considered Unorthodox. It's not pure Spirit Master's power system because magic is involved."
"The complexity I must comprehend is ten times higher than normal concepts and laws."
"Ten times..." Huang Qiu'er solemnly mumbled. "That's tough."
Huang Qiu'er has eaten the [Zoan Devil Fruit, Model: Huanglong] and has been learning to control its power and concept for over eight years.
She has ascended to godhood thanks to her hard work but also suffers to wield such powers. Imagining Rossweisse must go through such a course with ten times more difficulty made Huang Qiu'er feel sorry for the goddess of magic.
Rosswiesse noticed the change on the dragon goddess's face and giggled naturally, "You don't have to pity me."
"This is the path I've chosen."
"Even if I was stuck on my path some days, I still have Yuhao-sama to help me." She grinned when saying that.
The ladies had a look of realization.
They glanced at each other before smiling foolishly.
That's right, they have Yuhao!
So what if they had to face a storm and chaos? Everything would be fine with him around.
Huo Yuhao felt such intense faith radiating from the ladies and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
'Their faith is too bright. It blinds me.' He thought to himself.
Deep inside, Huo Yuhao was 'deeply' touched by their faith in him.
Having such blind faith in someone means their trust exceeds common sense, which means even if the world breaks down at this very moment, they will still believe in Huo Yuhao.
'Well, I won't let them down.'
As they finished their dinner, Huo Yuhao approached Toki, who meditated not far away. He sensed her cultivation and noticed it had reached spirit rank 20. She also has enough physical attributes and mental power to handle another 10,000+ years of spirit rings.
'Her talent is higher than I thought.' Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin and fished a spirit rune from his inventory. It was Heavenly River Moment Snail's rune stone, slightly older than the one he had given to Toki earlier.
Heavenly River Moment Snail is a very rare spirit beast.
It has two innate skills despite being a 10,000-year-old spirit beast.
Two skills possessed time attributes, which could merge into a domain.
"Toki, wake up and absorb this rune stone." Huo Yuhao called her name, handing the rune to her.
Toki was momentarily dazed while opening her eyes and nodded dumbly at Huo Yuhao's remarks. She grabbed the rune stone and crushed it with her fair hand, causing a black spirit ring to erupt and resonate with her martial soul.
She was very familiar with this sensation and meditated again.
Slowly but surely, Toki's cultivation realm loosened and entered the Spirit Grandmaster Realm.
"Phew, I finally reached it." She opened her eyes, heaving a sigh of relief.
"Haha, good." Huo Yuhao praised. "You don't waste my resources."
"Next is this."
A diamond-shaped object entered Toki's vision.
"This is..." Toki couldn't recognize the item, but she knew it was extraordinary.
"Hundred!" A voice suddenly exclaimed.
Rossweisse appeared behind Huo Yuhao and eyed the diamond-shaped object frantically.
"Yuhao-sama, you have upgraded Hundred?"
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Mhm. I made it when I was bored in the stasis timeline."
"I've improved its core ability, which could provide both divine armor(suit) and divine weapons."
"Wow." The other ladies' eyes glimmered.
If Kuina is awake, she'd definitely lift her nose and praise Huo Yuhao's greatness in the field of blacksmithing.
"This one is nameless, so connect your mental power with it and awaken its true name." Huo Yuhao handed a Hundred to Toki.
"Yuhao-sama. I'm afraid I can't accept this." Toki looks troubled. "This artifact is too precious..."
Huo Yuhao sighed and flipped his hand, causing more Hundred to appear and pile up on the floor like a small mountain. The sound of marble hitting the floor makes the ladies question reality, especially Toki and Rossweisse.
"..." Toki.
"..." Rossweisse.
"..." Robin.
"Ara~!" Raikou covered her mouth in awe.
Huang Qiu'er saw this and nodded, 'Master has worked hard.'
Huo Yuhao smirked at Toki, "Do you still think this thing is precious now?"
He threw the Hundred to Toki and added, "If your body and mental power weren't so weak, I'd give you a Devil Fruit that suits your talent."
"Unfortunately, even if I gave you one, you can't master its power within a night. That would be ridiculous."
"So, I'm giving you the second best choice, Hundred or else known as Divine Armament."
"It's easier to master, and you can use it in tomorrow's event."
Toki's worldview is 'literally' refreshed again.
According to Huo Yuhao's words and lazy tone, this diamond-shaped artifact is a divine armor and divine weapon's conjurer.
However, seeing this small mountain pile, Toki wondered if Huo Yuhao saw this object as trash.
Technically, yes. Huo Yuhao found Hundred wasted so much space in his vault, though it was infinite.
"Okay..." Toki helplessly caught the Hundred and made a connection with it, causing the object to light up in neon green light.
Even though it was faint, everyone could sense the power of time from the newly contracted Hundred.
"Call your Hundred's name." Huo Yuhao also observed Toki's Hundred calmly.
Toki nodded, "Wake up, Time Variance!"
Green light enveloped the room, and everyone's expression changed slightly.
"Oh?" Rossweisse's interest was 'instantly' piqued.
"This is interesting."
"Toki, you're lucky. You've awakened a Specialized Innocent-type."
"It seems your role in tomorrow's event has increased, Toki."
"Don't you think so, Yuhao-sama?"
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, "Yes."
"We can execute the plan perfectly tomorrow."
