Annan accepted the gift passed to him by Salvatore.
The accessory, which Annan temporarily named "Vatore's Sage Stone," probably ranked the highest among the life-saving objects he possessed.
With the assistance of the Book of Truth, it could elevate Annan to the Truth Rank in a short duration, surpassing the level 40 ceiling of the Gold Rank. Moreover, compared to the previous use of the Philosopher's Stone that lasted only three minutes like Ultraman, this Philosopher's Stone's duration extended to five minutes.
Though it seemed like only a two-minute difference,
if described as "a 66% increase in burst state duration," it would appear as a qualitative enhancement. Even the entire tactical approach designed around the Philosopher's Stone would undergo changes due to the extension of combat time.
Of course, Annan still felt that its greater significance lay in its sentimental value.
