Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

However, it remains to be seen how much longer Edelfeld, facing numerous challenges, can wait.

If the other party softens their stance, then the association can make a few more concessions—after all, Edelfelt is the type of person who was caught off guard by a sudden situation during the transition period.

If the previous leader of Edelfelt were still alive, he certainly wouldn't have ended up in this situation given his connections.

But unfortunately, Edelfeld had a problem.

Faced with this situation, the association had no choice but to seize this opportunity and take a big bite out of the fat meat that they usually couldn't get their hands on!

After all, nobody wants to turn down their own interests, right?

....

53. Edelfeld's Savior

Sitting in the car on the way to the Edfeldt family home, Ayaka Sajou sat quietly in the back, while Roland sat in the passenger seat, silently opening the [God Group System] page.

First, there's a lottery.

Congratulations on acquiring the skill Shadow Mage!

This skill is a classic Shadow Monster skill.

It is a magician who summons a shadow and can use five elemental spells.

And just as a Shadow Warrior summons a warrior with physical attributes twice that of Roland himself, a Shadow Mage summons a magician with magic circuits twice that of Roland.

That is, 2400 magic loops.

If Roland were to include it in the target of shadow fusion...

Well, all I can say is that Roland no longer wants to calculate how many magic circuits he will have available by then!

Anyway, there's only one answer when you ask.

That's enough!

In addition, the Shadow Mage's resurrection time is 24 hours.

After Roland made it a god, he discovered that it was the same type as the Shadow Puppet, requiring members of the god group to condense two godhoods before it could awaken its godhood.

As for Roland's current situation...

He himself is at 2/3 of the progress in condensing his divine spark. The Shadow Warrior, because he came later, did not catch up with Artoria in condensing her divine spark, so his current progress is 1/4. The Shadow Mage just obtained his divine spark, so his progress is 0/2.

Overall, it's a pretty good skill.

Then there's the question of Roland gaining further control over the authority of the [Divine Group System].

He had some prior knowledge of the matter, and when he obtained the qualification to join the God Group, he thought that the first thing he could control was probably the part about the God Group members.

Now that I look at it, it really is.

He has now gained control over a portion of the members of the God Group.

While other aspects have changed in essence, the specifics remain the same. The only change is the addition of a lottery for new members.

Roland had previously found this feature somewhat incomprehensible.

Because his system was transformed from his authority, he had never known where the items he won in the lottery came from.

But now he knows.

Each new member joining the God Group doesn't actually grant an extra chance to win a lottery, but rather... well, let's call it an energy point counter, as Roland would call it.

This energy point can randomly generate a reward, which is the lottery Roland used before.

However, energy points are not only used to generate rewards.

Energy points can also be used to enhance Roland's existing abilities.

Whether it's skills, abilities, talents, or even attributes, they can all be enhanced with energy points!

This made Roland feel very comfortable.

Because he had recently discovered that the lottery system provided by the gods was no longer sufficient to enhance him as much as it had been before, even though the skill he drew from the Shadow Monster system was enhanced due to the Shadow Fusion.

In other words, Roland's horizontal upgrades are already sufficient.

What he needs now is not to add new abilities, but to sharpen and deepen his existing ones!

Just like the invisible hand I drew a while ago.

When this skill only has dozens or hundreds of hands, its power is far less than when it has thousands of hands.

For example, the power of the skill "Dragon's Shadow" is only so-so. Vortigern is far inferior to the pure-blooded dragons of the Little Garden world, and Vortigern's abilities are not fully unlocked, which is a big problem.

If it could be enhanced, this skill could be very useful.

In addition, many of his skills are like this.

As for whether he might suddenly get lucky in the lottery... Roland wasn't entirely sure, but he didn't have high hopes.

Because the [God Group System] is not a system of unknown origin that seems to be able to create anything out of thin air, its essence is its authority, which should always have an upper limit or limitation - otherwise how could it generate so many shadow-type skills.

In that case, strengthening him would be very comfortable for him at this stage.

After Roland understood the changes here, he breathed a sigh of relief.

While he was looking at the [God Group System], the driver also drove the car to its destination.

We've arrived at the Edelfeldt house.

boom!

After Sakura took the teacup out, Luvia slammed her fist on the table!

Without Sakura by her side, the expression on her face began to crumble, gradually turning ferocious!

"The Magic Association is even taking advantage of our misfortune! They want an entire industry chain all at once, do they really think the Edelfelt family is a sucker?!"

Luvia could actually see that the Magic Association was just trying to take advantage of the situation; otherwise, they wouldn't only be targeting one supply chain.

Even if taking away a less important supply chain is still a blow to the Edfeldt family, it certainly won't lead to their downfall.

As for providing the technology... even the people in the Magic Association probably know that it's absolutely impossible!

For a family of magicians, money is important, but skill is even more important.

No family would share their skills unless they were driven to the brink. Even when driven to the brink, some magic families would rather die with their skills than show them to anyone!

This kind of thing is not even uncommon.

As for the reason...

The loss of income is not a long-term phenomenon and is not fatal to a magic family, but when the technology goes wrong, that is the beginning of the decline of a magic family.

So if we have to say something, then the Magic Association does have some sense of propriety.

But Luvia was still very angry!

After all, if she were to gain a thorough understanding of the Edelfelt family's connections after a while, then even if things got chaotic in Europe, the Magicians' Association wouldn't have a chance to take a bite out of their own family!

But the Dead Apostles caught the Edfeldts off guard, forcing the Edfeldt family to rely on these things.

Then, having not fully grasped these connections, she also had to go through the reshuffling of connections brought about by the shift in Einzbern's focus!

And because of Einzbern's location, Northern Europe is the region most affected!

Isn't this targeting her?

Luvia felt that all her weaknesses had been exposed, and none of them had been spared, so she became angrier and angrier!

This made her think quickly at this moment.

Compromise with the Mage's Association is absolutely out of the question... We can still think of a way to deal with the Dead Apostles. As long as the Dead Apostle war doesn't break out directly on our own territory, the impact is actually not too bad.

And this chaos necessitates the use of personal connections...

Hey, let's go to Einzbernburg!

Luvia now understood that it was probably hopeless to stand firm and overcome this difficulty without bowing her head.

But she'd rather bow down to the Einzbern than to the Magic Association, which would come knocking on her door to bite her!

Even if it means sacrificing more interests each time, we will absolutely not give it to the Magic Association!

As for the reason...

Part of it was because Luvia was angered by the Magic Association.

Another reason is that the Einzbern family's center of gravity shifted, so giving it to them was a one-off deal, while giving it to the Magic Association... they saw an opportunity to exploit them. You say they'd be satisfied with just one sip? Who would believe that?

Damn it, if only I could get involved with the Umbrella Corporation, or have some connection with Einzbern before!

Luvia began to think that way.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Luvia didn't want Sakura to see her like this, so she quickly composed herself before saying, "Please come in."

"Aiko is back, and she brought a man with her."

Ok?

Luvia was taken aback, but Sakura's next words made her uneasy again.
