"Well, you're feeling what you should feel," the system replied, its tone oddly amused.
Julian frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"That's the side effect of your authority," the system explained, almost teasingly.
"But I have the authority of lightning! What does that have to do with lust?" Julian shot back, genuinely perplexed.
The system chuckled lightly, "Host, the God of Thunder was also the God of Lust."
Julian's eyes widened as he processed this revelation. "So, you're telling me I'm inheriting both powers?" he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.
"How does that happen? How can a God of Thunder also be the God of Lust?" Julian pressed, still trying to wrap his head around it.
The system replied, "I don't know, but part of the reason for the God's death was his penchant for... let's say, getting involved with other gods' wives. As a result, those gods formed a group and killed him."
Julian's jaw dropped at the revelation. "So, not only did he wield immense power, but he also had a reputation for causing chaos among the divine?"
"Exactly," the system confirmed. "It seems you've inherited a bit more than just his lightning powers."
Julian sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Great. Just what I need—more complications."
The system chuckled, "Be careful, host. Don't follow in the footsteps of your predecessor."
Julian raised an eyebrow, smirking slightly. "Oh, I'll be careful. But who knew that wielding the authority of lightning came with such... interesting side effects?"
Eva clapped her hands together, "They should be here any moment! I can't wait to see them and share the news about your breakthrough!"
Regina nodded, a soft smile on her face. "That's good, a gathering of even more family members. The more, the merrier! It'll be a wonderful chance for us all to connect and celebrate Julian's achievements together."
She glanced at Julian, pride evident in her eyes. "We should prepare a special meal for them. After all, it's not every day that we have such exciting news to share."
After finishing his meal, Julian stood up from the table, feeling a surge of energy and determination.
"I'm going to hit the training grounds for a bit," he announced, a confident grin spreading across his face. His family nodded in understanding, knowing that he was eager to hone his skills and further master his newfound powers.
As he made his way outside, the cool air invigorated him. The training grounds were expansive, with plenty of room for him to practice his techniques. He focused on the horizon, his mind already racing with thoughts of what he would accomplish during this session.
Julian stood at the center of the training grounds, contemplating his next moves.
I should create a combination of my spells with Cosmic Dance of Death, he thought, excitement bubbling within him. The idea of merging his abilities into a devastating new technique thrilled him.
He closed his eyes, visualizing the synergy between his lightning spells and Cosmic Dance of Death.
If I can weave them together, I could unleash a torrent of destruction unlike anything I've done before. As he pondered the possibilities, he began to focus his energy, preparing to experiment with different combinations and push the limits of his power.
Julian realized the immense responsibility that came with wielding the Authority of Lightning; its power was staggering and could easily lead to catastrophic consequences if misused.
He wanted to lessen his dependence on this overwhelming ability, understanding that if he were to carelessly unleash its might, he could inadvertently destroy entire lands or even a kingdom.
With this in mind, he resolved to train diligently, honing his skills and crafting new techniques that would allow him to balance his newfound strength with precision and control, ensuring that he wielded his powers wisely.
