You are all my wings!

"If you can predict the future, you can also change it. With you by Britta's side, I feel at ease. It's just a pity that I still can't remove Britta's shackles for you. As long as you can't come up with a definite solution, if I were to remove them, it would be harming her. Do you understand?"

Judging from the fact that Leon has dragged his feet on answering that crucial question, Astalia should be able to tell that Leon actually has no solution.

Even Leon suspected that Astalia had seen through his lie from the very beginning.

The reason he was willing to continue the conversation was probably because many of his remarks had piqued her interest.

However, Lyon originally had no solution, but with the activation of his Holy Body talent, he found one.

However, this method also requires a bit of deception; it needs to fool the deity.

“My Lord, there is indeed a way.”

Leon opened his palm, releasing magic that transformed into a faint magical glow that flowed out of his body.

Activating the Holy Body talent transforms magic into divine energy, and the slightly greenish magical glow instantly turns into a shimmering gold, as brilliant as the golden sun, exuding a sacred aura.

“You see, I actually possess the same flawless endowment as Britta.”

Chapter 405 My Lord, forgive my bluntness!

As Lyon transformed the divine energy, the people present fell into a brief silence.

Britta recalled the special state she had entered when she was with Leon, a state in which she could immediately gain intuitive understanding of many kinds of knowledge, mysteries, and all complex, non-intuitive principles.

I can occasionally be in that state myself, but not as clearly as Lyon.

Could it be that Lyon, who possesses the same talent, gave me this assistance?

[Character Britta's affection level increased by 2%, current affection level 103%]

[Current 'Holy Body' talent development level: 4%; Current magic power to holy energy conversion rate increased by 2%]

[Note: The Holy Body Talent can only be improved through methods other than increasing affinity after it has reached 100% development.]

Ophim Marceau seemed to be deep in thought. Lyon actually had this hidden talent?

He's a real gem; he always manages to surprise me.

Suddenly, she remembered her first night with Leon, when she had said, "I'm going to purify you, purify your body that's been corrupted by Iris!"

Now that Lyon has revealed this flawless quality in Britta, doesn't that mean he has always been pure?

I spent that night with him, who was so innocent.

She recalled that wonderful night in her mind again, and her face couldn't help but turn slightly red. She had initially hated sex.

That wretched Leon, he's always tempting me.

[Character Ophimosa's affinity +2%, current affinity 107%]

On the other side, Astalia's expression was subtle, her initial tranquility vanished without a trace.

She asked:

"You do indeed possess some of the qualities of purity and innocence. So, how much divine energy can you transform?"

How much was converted?

It seems she wanted to test her purity.

If we can only manage to generate a tiny amount of conversion, then there's really nothing we can offer Astalia in negotiation.

According to the panel's notification, the current conversion rate is 2%. With a magic power of 378 points, it can only be converted into about 7 points, which is exactly the same as the amount of divine energy that can be stored in the body.

Lyon didn't know how far Britta had developed, so he could only release the 7 points stored in his body, gathering a total of 14 points of divine energy in his palm.

The golden light grew brighter and brighter, and it felt as if golden milk was flowing in the palm of one's hand. The rich, liquid-like brilliance was truly magical.

With his magic power depleted, his face paled slightly. He quickly reached out with his other hand, took out the last piece of legendary monster meat, and ate it.

Beside her, Astalia stared at Leon for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Okay."

Leon then absorbed the divine energy back into his body, activated his Holy Body talent, and converted the energy back into magic. Surprisingly, the conversion process resulted in minimal loss of divine energy, and the 7 points of divine energy quickly transformed into surging magic, spreading throughout his body.

Clearly, this sacred energy is of a high enough level, giving me another source of magical power to sustain me in the future, which I can use to outwit people in crucial moments.

"My God, how much worse is my conversion rate than Britta's?"

Lyon asked frankly.

"It's twenty or thirty times weaker."

Astalia's thorn-patterned pupils flickered slightly, and her expression softened again.

"However, what you lack is the development of this talent, but your overall talent is indeed almost identical to Britta's. Creation is so amazing that even the special physique that I spent thousands of years planning to create could appear as an extra... When did you discover that you had this talent?"

Although she asked this question, she seemed to be holding back, keeping other guesses in mind that she didn't ask.

"It's been a long time, so long that I've forgotten how I first discovered it. I only remember seeing a powerful church missionary use holy light magic to purify the evil energy in my family's cemetery when I was little. That's when I realized that I seemed to have a vague grasp of a more advanced power."

Leon spoke in a pretentious manner, casually activating 99% of the superior holy prayer spell he had mastered after completing the mission, while simultaneously adding a bit of holy energy that hadn't fully returned to his magic.

"Look, my divine being, I have learned the Holy Prayer Technique by chance after observing it. It is very simple, and I can even learn the advanced Holy Prayer Technique."

Buzz!

A magnificent holy light suddenly appeared above Lyon's head.

The concentration of this holy light was even higher than that of intermediate holy prayer spells cast by other holy cultivators; it was a dazzling white light.

Immediately afterward, Leon attempted to transmit the link inherent in the magic to Astaria on the other side, relaying a message:

"My God, have you heard my prayers and cries?"

The holy incantation, imbued with divine energy, allowed the sound, heard at such close range, to enter Astaria's mind with unparalleled clarity.

Her expression immediately became quite interesting.

When Leon first said he had learned this holy magic by observing it, she just smiled.

It was assumed that Leon was overdoing it to prove that he was just as talented as Britta. After all, Leon not only crossed professions, but also treated the advanced holy spell, which was very difficult for many people to learn, as easily as eating and drinking.

At this moment, upon hearing Leon forcefully insert his voice into her head using holy incantation, she could no longer maintain her gentle demeanor, her tranquility becoming strained.

"Alright, I know how outstanding your talents are, there's no need to waste divine energy like this."

She regained her composure and said this.

"My lord, by some stroke of luck, I also possess a skill in King-level Holy Magic..."

"No need. Your demonstration of a superior holy incantation spell is enough to explain the situation."

Astalia interrupted Leon with a smile.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Leon noticed that Astalia's eyelids twitched subtly.

"pity."

Leon expressed his regret that he hadn't been able to use the few holy spells he had learned as a reward.

As for the King-level magic mentioned earlier, it is naturally the Holy Resurrection magic learned after completing the quest to revive Astalia.

This top-tier king-level magic, possessing nearly three hundred magical images, is almost identical in number to the Life Divine Light images he previously learned from the forest apostles.

That was said to be a simplified version of the Apostle-level magic, the Divine Light of Life. Its core function was to prolong life, keeping those who were destined to die from almost irreparable damage to their organs and brains alive.

If we have a sufficient understanding of the injured person's damaged organs, it may even be possible to repair these damages with the help of this life-giving light.

However, this repair step requires a very high level of understanding of life sciences. If the operation is wrong or the repair is incorrect, it will still fail.

Even so, it is still an extraordinary healing magic.

Moreover, because it possesses a large number of ancient images, which are very similar to those related to basic physics and basic biology, the scope of its ability to sustain life is very broad.

However, this also places high demands on the operator's skills.

As for the other holy revival magic, many of its magical images are related to holy magic, grand, domineering, and like the rising sun. Its core feature is that it can forcibly repair and revive all life forms that have special injuries, are trapped by curses, or are contaminated by magical toxins, evil energy, etc.

The caster doesn't need to know much about the injured person; they can simply cast the spell and it will either succeed or fail.

The two spells, when combined, have similar yet different effects, and their applications complement each other perfectly.

It may even have the potential to produce a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts, saving those who have recently died.

When Leon completed the mission, he gained a large amount of experience from Britta in one go, and his mastery of the magic reached 99%, which was even higher than his mastery of the Light of Life.

Furthermore, there are more than twenty overlaps between this magic and the magical imagery of the Divine Light of Life. If it is used to guide Machiru in her research on life alchemy in the future, it may be of great use. There is an opportunity to use the magical imagery to deduce a richer life alchemy system, and even try to break the life seal.

Back to topic.

Lyon said:

“My God, I can now answer your initial question. As you can see, my pure and flawless endowment is actually quite good, but it lacks development. In fact, I have already experienced such impure things.”

As he spoke, he pointed at Ophimasso:

"To be honest, Orpheus and I are also in love and have pledged our lives to each other. We've had all sorts of 'sexual' experiences, and the number of times we've been promiscuous is not small. Yet, I've managed to maintain my purity of body and mind. Not only can I convert magic into holy energy, but I can also easily learn any kind of holy magic... Using me as an example, doesn't that show that Rita doesn't actually need any constraints and can do it too?"

Ophimosa blushed slightly and couldn't help but roll her eyes at Leon. This guy was quite frank; he had just expressed his love for Britta in front of the gods, but now he was so open about his... well, you know.

Honestly, I don't know how he can be so carefree. Isn't he afraid of angering the gods?

Despite her worries, she still felt a sweet feeling deep down.

Since that's the case, when we confront him later, we can be a little gentler with him.

[Ophimosa's favorability +2%, current favorability 109%]

Seeing that Astaria didn't respond, Lyon asked again:

"The gods facilitated Rita's birth, but they may not understand the process required for a flawless talent to transform into a flawless soul, right?"

Astalia did not answer Leon's question and shook her head, saying:

"You have only proven that such a thing does not affect the use of your talents for the time being, but you cannot prove whether you have the potential to take on such a great responsibility in the future."

This is indeed a problem.

Lyon then said:

“My God, at least I’ve proven that this isn’t a bad thing, is it? In fact, if you could give me more time, I can prove to you that training and practicing with like-minded people will definitely improve your progress far more than if Rita were to train alone.”

The so-called "cultivation together" naturally means exploring the deepest levels of the training mode together.

With this model in place, coupled with Britta's own natural talent, her improvement was naturally rapid.

But whether this will allow Britta to cultivate that flawless holy soul is a question.

However, whether or not this sacred soul exists, whether or not the world can withstand the crisis of destruction in the future is a question.

So Leon had no choice but to gamble, betting everything on himself and the other female characters, hoping that they could train to the point where they could handle the crisis in 25 years.

Of course, if the crisis stems from his own chaotic situation, then the situation will be even more hilarious. He can only hope that the future won't be so melodramatic...

"No."

Astalia flatly refused:

"You want to break free of your shackles and test Britta for a while? Until there's a clear solution, Britta's flawless body must not be defiled!"

As she spoke, a hint of departure appeared on her face, and she waved her hand to dispel the surrounding sacred light barrier.

Her delicate and slender body shimmered with a brilliant holy light, swaying gently, as if she were about to enter the sacred realm.

Although Leon proved a lot, he even demonstrated a holy body endowment that almost made her lose her composure and an amazing talent for learning holy magic.

However, compared to Britta, this flawless talent still lacked much accumulation and practical application.

She doesn't think Lyon can surpass Britta.

"That's enough for today. I can keep your wishes for you. Think it over carefully. This repair will take a long time. Britta, report back to me if anything comes up."

As the holy light intensified, Astaria gradually became so shrouded in it that her face was no longer visible.

Lyon was exasperated; this god was truly impervious to reason.

It can only be said that he is indeed the only active god in the world, and his will is so firm that it is not easily swayed by a few words.

It seems we can only temporarily shift the focus back to the demon and stall her a bit, taking the opportunity to say more.

Fortunately, the task has a refresh progress bar, so my performance just now was not useless.
