Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

And later...

You want to compare yourself with someone who helps someone in need by adding icing on the cake?

Artluci was the first one to ask this question directly after that period of time, but Roland had already thought of the answer.

In other words, this was his original idea without any disguise.

"You can't really call it a price... But before we talk about this, Artluki, what do you think of this world?"

"Or to narrow it down a bit, do you think the world is big or small?"

Big or small?

Altluqi was stunned for a moment, but after thinking for a while, she gave an answer.

"It should be considered big..."

She is the hybrid of a True Ancestor and a Dead Apostle, and the older sister of Elquet.

So she knew that the failed Zhu Yue was not a life on this planet, but came from the moon.

And the world that Roland mentioned should refer to the Earth, right?

Compared to the moon, it is indeed very large.

This is what Altluchi thought, and Roland smiled after hearing her answer.

"But what if I say it's small?"

"Small? Although the Earth is not the largest planet, it is not small either."

"Do not..."

Roland shook his head slightly.

"I'm not talking about the Earth, I'm talking about the entire universe - it's very small."

"The universe is small!?"

Altluqi realized that she had been wrong, but she no longer understood what Roland was saying.

How can the universe be small?

"Yes, the universe is very small."

"Just like what you just thought, when I say world, you think the world is the Earth. So compared to the creatures living on the Earth, the Earth is big, but compared to other planets, your evaluation is that it is not small. And if you compare it with the sun, the galaxy, or even the universe, every time you make a comparison, the Earth becomes smaller in your eyes."

"After all, compared to the entire universe, the Earth is indeed a very small existence."

"But if we look at it from a higher perspective, and if we assume that there are countless universes, wouldn't the universe be small compared to that ocean?"

When he said this, Roland and Altluchi's eyes met, and Roland smiled and continued talking.

"So let me tell you about your responsibilities as a member of the God Group..."

"The group of gods is formed with me as the center, but my sights will not stop at one country or one world - you can say that I am overestimating my own capabilities or that I am too arrogant, but this is my truest thought."

“I will definitely move towards a higher level.”

“And the group of gods centered around me must, of course, work with me toward this goal.”

"If you're going to laugh at me, just pretend I never invited you."

"But if you can understand that, then even if you think I'm a fool who doesn't understand, I'll still extend my hand to you here."

".~You and the White Beast beside you, join me and move towards a higher level with me. I will also promise that sooner or later, I will lead you to climb to a higher position and overlook the scenery that no one has ever seen from the top."

After saying this, Roland stretched out his hand towards Altluchi.

Altluqi looked at the hand Roland extended to her and pursed her lips.

She did understand what Roland meant.

That is, Roland's focus is not on just one world. So if there really are many other worlds that exist and can be reached, then Roland may not care at all about the price of fighting for power and profit that he had thought about before, but he fundamentally looks down on these things.

His sights were always on a height that Altluchi had never thought of before.

Such things have happened several times in the human records that Altluchi has seen.

This is how airplanes were developed by humans.

It's not just airplanes that are on record, but also Ikaros, who tried to fly but flew too close to the sun, his wings melted and he fell to his death!

Which one would Roland be?

When thinking about this question, Altluchi narrowed his eyes.

But turning around, Altluchi smiled.

I'm not laughing at Roland, I'm laughing at myself.

Because she suddenly realized that whether Roland was Ikaros or not, it had nothing to do with her now - she had seen the elite army of the Dead Apostles of Tefanm before coming here, and she had actually been forced into a desperate situation at that moment!

If she gets nothing from coming to Umbrella Corporation this time, what will she rely on to deal with Triumph's army next?

so...

Artluqi glanced at Fufu, then reached out her hand and placed her fingers on Roland's hand.

"I won't laugh at you before anything happens, but if you fail, I might be the first one to laugh at you."

She said this and then let out a long breath.

After staring at Roland for a while, Artelucci answered in a solemn tone, as if she was taking an oath.

"If you can really make it that far, then I'll be lucky to be one of your followers."

"If you can't make it that far, then I, who promised you at this stage, will also receive your help."

"So I have no reason to reject you."

After Altluqi finished speaking, Fufu also leaned forward and placed her paw on Altluqi's hand.

Here, the contract is established!

The number of members of Roland's group of gods became 19.

Only one person left until the next upgrade.

Then Roland also got two draws from Altuluchi and Fufu.

.....let..

44. Gaia’s Differential Treatment

After the contract was concluded, there was no special change in Fufu, but there were obvious changes in Altluchi.

The moment one becomes a member of the God Group, unless Roland stops them, they will begin to enjoy all kinds of benefits, so Altluchi's injuries began to recover.

The wound that had already become a fixed concept was directly removed, and then a dark red light emerged from Altluchi's body.

In the blink of an eye, she changed from a little girl to a young girl.

Long black hair, blood-red, glowing eyes, and a jet-black dress wrapped around her body, making her look exceptionally light.

"Recovered..."

Arteluqi clenched her hands into a fist, and then the blood-red light began to rise from her body again. In this state, even the sunlight outside the window seemed to be stained with blood, as if the sun was about to sink into darkness.

But this vision came and went quickly.

Altluchi, who had three stages of transformation, ultimately failed to transform into her strongest form and stopped.

Seeing this scene, the two knights standing behind Altluchi became a little nervous, and Fu Fu also looked at her and asked directly.

"Hasn't he fully recovered?"

Hearing Fu Fu's question, Altuluchi shook her head.

"No... I have recovered completely, or rather, too completely. My current state is not the same as before I was injured, but my peak state... That is, before the moon that was always hanging in the sky fell and before the True Ancestors died on a large scale."

At that time, Zhu Yue had not yet brought Xuan Yue down, and Zelrich had not yet completely defeated it.

The Altuluchi that was produced at that time was ultimately judged to be a failure.

That period was when she was truly at her strongest.

After Zhu Yue passed away, Artluqi lost the connection with Zhu Yue, and a considerable part of her power was restricted. Then she became the later Heiji.

This time, Roland's treatment not only healed the injuries left on her by Elquet, but also removed the original restrictions on her strength!

This was a pleasant surprise that Artluqi had not expected.

"Don't worry, I'm recovering well... It's just that I haven't felt such abundant power in many years, so I can't control it well for a while. It will be fine after I get used to it for a while."

After hearing what Altluci said, the two knights finally felt relieved.

Roland knew nothing would go wrong.

So now, after Artelucci explained her situation, he asked Vanfeim to arrange temporary accommodation for Artelucci and the others.

After all, it would take some time for Altluci to adapt to her full strength, and if Roland wanted to attack the White Winged Prince, he planned to wait a little longer.

"Roland, even though this could have been a deal, I still want to thank you..."

When she reached the door, Artelucci stopped.

"So you have that God Group Communication, right? If anything happens, you can always call me - after all, this is part of the deal, right?"

After hearing what Altluchi said, Roland did not answer her directly.

"As part of the deal, I will help you deal with the White Winged Lord."

"During this period of time, you should first adapt to your strength, and then don't return to Europe for the time being. I still need to make some preparations here. After all, you should know that as long as you return to Europe in your prime, the Dead Apostle War will break out immediately without any accidents."

Altuluchi nodded.

"I know, so call me when the time comes."

After leaving these words, Artelucci took the two knights and Fufu and followed Vanphim away.

Roland sat in the office, stretched, and opened the page of the [God Group System].

Two chances to draw, start drawing!

Following Roland's thoughts, the number of draws he received from Artelucci and Fufu was directly transformed into rewards.

[Congratulations on obtaining the Skill Shadow Crown]

[Congratulations on obtaining the skill Gaia's Blessing (EX)]

The first one was drawn from Altluqi, and the second one was drawn from Fufu.

There is not much to say about the Shadow Crown skill. It is another component of shadow skills.

Roland can release the Shadow Crown on his own shadow monster unit once. The shadow monster crowned with the Shadow Crown will have its own attributes enhanced, and will also bring bonuses to other shadow monster units around it.

If combined with shadow fusion, it will be its own bonus, and all other shadow monsters will also be bonused, and then all these amplifications will be added to Roland.

It's a simple, but pretty good ability.

Roland thought about it for a moment, and then gave the Crown of Shadow to the Shadow Puppet that had already condensed its divine body.

Afterwards, even though Roland's body had condensed, his shadow puppet still looked like a shadow monster, with a crooked crown on its head.

Roland merged it into himself, and the crown would appear on his head - and could be hidden if he didn't like it.

When it comes to the shadow dragon's head, a horn crown is attached to the top of the shadow dragon's head.

Then Roland looked at the highlight of this lottery - Gaia's Divine Protection (EX)

This skill is not an active skill, but a passive skill like the previously drawn battle continuation (A), military strategy (B) and single manifestation (EX).

After acquiring this skill, Roland could clearly feel that his affinity with the land beneath his feet had increased.

He could even clearly sense the scent of the plants growing on the earth and hear their sounds.

Moreover, an endless supply of power was fed back to him from the earth, making him feel that his physical strength, magic power and the like were inexhaustible!

The introduction of this skill says that units with this skill are protected by the will of the planet.

The planet will give strength, intelligence, and shelter.

But it was also mentioned in the introduction that although the planet does not hate humans, the love of the planet and the love of humans are two completely different concepts. Therefore, if the planet does not cooperate, then even if the level is EX, this protection will not have a direct effect, and it is basically just a representation of status.

This part is written in great detail, even describing what the planet should look like if it does not cooperate, and what it should look like if it cooperates.
