I let the genie out of the bottle

Even necessary rest periods are planned to ensure that I am in the most efficient state of strength enhancement.

Improve combat skills, acquire knowledge in various fields, absorb the wisdom of human magic, and analyze and interpret the divine power you have absorbed in the past...

Lu Ye arranged everything in a very orderly manner.

He still had one more thing to do, which was to master his newly awakened ability, the "Golden Hour".

At the cost of consuming mental energy, one can restore an object other than one's own mind to its peak state.

Moreover, this so-called "peak" largely depends on Lu Ye's own will.

Lu Ye was also analyzing his own abilities in his mind, tearing a piece of paper from the notebook next to him.

[Golden Moment] - Activate.

A branch on a large tree in the rainforest.

Raw wood pulp in a paper mill.

The paper has just been bleached.

A page torn from the notebook in my own hand.

Then, that branch is the peak.

Lu Ye thought to himself.

The next moment, the piece of paper he had just torn off transformed into a branch that had just sprouted new buds, still covered with the morning dew.

"Then, let's use that sheet of paper that was just made in the paper mill—"

Lu Ye thought to himself.

but failed.

Because subconsciously, he always believed that the "golden moment" for this torn piece of paper was when it was still a branch growing on the tree.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye finally decided to choose a different test subject.

"Ooh." Upon seeing the smile on Lu Ye's face, the silver-haired hamster quickly lowered its head, seemingly turning into a cowering ostrich.

Because Lu Ye's face clearly said: Who will be so lucky as to be chosen by me?

"Come here, Liliana, come over here for a moment."

Lu Ye revealed a gentle smile.

Can I say no?

P.S.: I recommend a book, "When Man Arrives in the Type-Moon, the System Shuts Down."

Chapter 108 The Young Knight

[Golden Moment] When used to target Lu Ye himself, it is impossible to interfere with Lu Ye's own spirit.

However, this restriction doesn't seem to apply when using it on others.

Although Liliana is a genius among humans, the power within her body is pitifully small compared to Lu Ye's.

It seems that this is precisely why casting [Golden Hour] on her would place a much smaller mental burden on her and consume very little energy.

This gave Lu Ye the time to explore the more refined operation of this ability.

For example, when using abilities, consider the target's magic and physical body separately.

For example, Lu Ye consumes a certain amount of magic power to strengthen his body.

At this moment, he can use the Golden Hour to return his body to the state before he used magic, but the effect of using magic to enhance his body will also disappear.

However, with precise manipulation, he could determine that the "golden moment" for magic was before the enhancement, and the "golden moment" for the physical body was after the enhancement.

"It seems I still need to familiarize myself with this ability more."

Lu Ye sighed softly.

Without a doubt, this is a powerful capability that is absolutely comparable to "omitting the process"!

"Wang..." Just as Lu Ye was sighing, a pitiful voice rang out.

Both her voice and tone sounded somewhat similar to that of the knight girl named Liliana under Lu Ye's command.

However, there was an inexplicable naiveté in her voice, which added a soft and sweet quality to it, making her sound like a girl of about ten years old.

This makes her speech sound like she's being coquettish.

"My king, when will you remove the power that's been placed on me and let me grow bigger?"

She was a short, bright silver-white girl, only about 1.2 meters tall.

She pouted, blinked her large, blue eyes pitifully, and there was a faint mist of tears in them.

Without a doubt, this was Lu Ye's most dignified knight, a young girl named Liliana Kranichal.

However, under Lu Ye's "Golden Moment," the girl's physical age was directly restored to the time when her physical growth rate was the fastest and her potential was the greatest.

Moreover, her physical strength and magical power did not weaken as her body shrank, so her strength did not decrease.

Although she finds it difficult to adapt to her shrunken body, as long as she regains control of her current body, her abilities as a knight will likely not only not weaken, but will actually strengthen.

After all, that tiny appearance is just too deceptive!

“That’s really embarrassing, Liliana Kranichal.” Lu Ye frowned slightly and subtly withdrew his hand from Liliana Lily’s face.

Her already delicate skin was now as white and tender as a freshly peeled egg, seemingly fragile enough to break at a touch, and had an excellent feel.

"Huh?" The young knight, suddenly being reprimanded, stared wide-eyed in bewilderment.

"It's just a change in form, why are you making such a fuss?" He seemed calm and composed, a contemptuous and disdainful smile on his lips. "Always being fixated on one's physical form will make it difficult to become a qualified knight, Liliana."

I believe you as a ghost!

Liliana Lily screamed inwardly.

It seems we can only wait until Wang gets tired of it.

"Your Majesty, I must go prepare dinner now..." Liliana sighed softly, her voice tinged with despair. "Please allow me to take my leave..."

"Wait a moment."

Lu Ye grabbed her shoulder and then placed a hand behind her head.

"Speaking of which, you had short hair when you were little?"

Lu Ye asked in a light, casual tone.

As Liliana grew up, she had beautiful long silver-white hair, which she styled into a striking silver ponytail, making her look quite dashing and charming.

However, judging from Liliana Lily's current appearance, she does not seem to have grown her hair long.

“Yes.” Liliana paused slightly, then said in a tone tinged with reminiscence and emotion, “Because I had to practice swordsmanship when I was young, I had to keep my hair short for ease of movement.”

Even for a swordsmanship prodigy, becoming stronger requires considerable effort.

As far as she knew, neither she, nor anyone else in the society, nor even her former rival, Erica of the Copper Black Cross, could easily become strong.

Of course, irrational beings like god-slayers are an exception.

However, in Liliana's view, there was nothing to be jealous of regarding the Godslayer.

Because they didn't just rise to the top overnight through good luck; they also overcame barriers that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Later, I made some progress in swordsmanship and my long hair no longer easily affected my cultivation. Only then was I allowed to grow my hair long and gradually become the way I wanted to be."

As she spoke, she subconsciously raised her hand and touched the back of her short silver hair.

Please be disappointed in me, I didn't have beautiful long hair back then.

Hurry up and get bored, then turn me back into myself.

Liliana prayed silently in her heart.

"I see." Seeing the fleeting sadness on Liliana Lily's face, Lu Ye nodded gently.

Although he had never experienced this feeling.

However, being burdened with excessively high expectations and thus feeling overwhelmed is something many people have experienced.

Lu Ye raised a hand and placed it on the back of the cute little girl's neck.

[Golden Moment]

Objective: To send.

It only affected the hair and had no effect on other parts of the body.

In other words, although Liliana is still a small child with a height of only about 1.2 meters, she has changed from having short hair to having a beautiful silver ponytail.

"Huh? What is this?!" Liliana Lily felt the touch of the long hair draped over her back and her face immediately showed a look of astonishment.

"Yes, she definitely looks cuter with her hair a little longer." Lu Ye said, nodding slightly. "However, at this age, it would be best to change her hairstyle."

As he spoke, he untied the young knight's single ponytail and then divided it into two strands.

Then, two beams of magical energy flashed in his hands, subtly transforming into knots that helped tie the young knight's hair into twin ponytails.

"Ha—" The young knight tried his best to control his rapid heartbeat, let out a soft breath, lowered his head and whispered, "Your Majesty, I'm going to prepare dinner."

Then, he fled in panic.

Whether it was due to panic or a lack of control over her body, she fell to the ground with a "thud".

Oh no, my tear ducts seem to have been more developed when I was young. I need to hold it in.

P.S.: A new month has arrived, I'm asking for anything, monthly tickets, rewards, recommendations, even swords (a metaphor for harsh criticism)... Four chapters, one more to go, but then two more bonus chapters... So I still owe nine chapters. The bounty is still open, I'm asking for anything or something.

Chapter 109 You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God!

Lush vegetation, brown, damp earth, and persistent rain clouds on the horizon. It's like a typical mountain scene, with the rich scents of earth and trees, and a babbling brook nearby.

This is the realm between life and immortality, yet it looks exactly like the natural scenery of those mountainous areas.

The trees are thriving and the spring is beginning to flow. Beside the stream, there is a simple, old-fashioned courtyard of moderate size, in which is a simple Japanese-style wooden house.

In this realm between life and death, in a secluded place called You Shi, such a courtyard is a perfect spot for friends to drink and chat.

However, the few people gathered here at this moment did not seem to be in the mood for such leisure.

Outside the wooden house, next to a simply carved stone table, several stone stools are casually placed, serving as small benches.

An elderly man, posing as the owner of the place, sat on a stone bench around the table with a slightly gloomy expression.

His height was estimated to be over 1.8 meters, and his body appeared enormous. Because he was only wearing a rough kimono, he looked energetic and not at all like his age. His muscular body made it impossible to doubt that he could knock down a brown bear with one punch.

"Our plan has taken an unexpected turn," the old man said in a low voice, taking sips of his drink.

The once-sweet wine, because of the successive news, has completely lost its former flavor after being drunk.

The old man drank his wine in a sullen mood, took off the ten-fist sword hanging at his waist, and placed his beloved sword horizontally on his lap.

Without a doubt, this old man is Susanoo, a recluse hiding in the underworld, who claims to have "graduated from the God of Disobedience".

The fact that the protagonist was able to kill a god in the original work is already full of doubts.

All indications suggest that this supposedly graduated, disobedient god is one of the driving forces behind the scenes.

"The rebellious god we painstakingly summoned was snatched away by other god-slayers, which was within our expectations—because so-called fate is inherently unpredictable and cruelly ironic."

"My husband doesn't need to worry too much."

Princess Liuli Tong, sitting gracefully on a stone bench, wearing a brightly colored and gorgeous twelve-layered kimono and wooden clogs, sighed and spoke softly.

"Since he is destined to be a god-slayer by 'fate,' he will inevitably walk the path of god-slayer sooner or later—so there is no need to worry. As long as we can ensure that he remains under our guidance."

"Our only loss is a Prometheus tablet that didn't truly belong to us, the opportunity to summon that war god, and the effort you, my husband, expended."

The god with glass eyes offered words of comfort in a gentle voice.

The Divine Ancestor—the Earth Mother Goddess who was defeated by the disobedient gods, a part of her took on a human form, and can be described as the "Daughter of the Earth" or "a being who resembles a goddess."

Most of the progenitor gods were born from the life force of Rama, the last king. Some progenitor gods were also created by having their power absorbed by the Holy Grail.
