Chapter 55 : Let me ask you

"I-I was going t-to...yes! I was going to bring Scarlett over"

"Scarlett ? Why would you bring her ?"

"Because I promised her that she could be there when I use the artifact to enhance level"

"I see"

"Well, now that it's settled, I'm going to bring her down there" said Alex, returning to leave while saying inwardly 'like hell I'm going to come back'

Unfortunately for him, before he could pass through the door, Lilia once again grabbed his shoulder while saying "we will be doing some sparring before she comes, we have already lost enough time as is"

'Sh*t'

Seeing that whatever he was going to say would save him for what was to come, Alex decided to at least gain some time to prepare himself psychologically, so when he turned around this time he said to Lilia In a serious voice "before we start with anything there is something that we need to discuss".

"What is it ?"

"Let's go seat and I will you about it"

"What you need to know is that the lust artifact is considered as the weakest, even I once thought that it was the case, however after what you told me yesterday I'm now certain that people consider the lust artifact as the weakest because they don't have any information about how it works, but this, all the things you just told me now are impossible to do by using the lust artifact"

"Why do you think so, you just said it yourself, the lust artifact is considered the weakest, but anyone knows what it is really capable of, so I don't see why you say that's impossible" replied Alex with a doubtful face.

Hearing him, Lilia simply shook her head and replied "I say that's impossible for the lust artifact because all those things you say you can accomplish break the common sense even if we take in account that you are an artifact holder".

Still seeing some doubt in his gaze, Lilia sighed and said "let's take for example the case of your current body, as you said, you don't have to wait between each time you absorb monster cores and can continue pushing your level as long as you have cores right ?" Asked Lilia, to which Alex nodded.

"Then tell me, do you know what happens when you reach the pinnacle in terms of level ?" Asked Lilia.

Alex was a bit surprised why she was asking him that suddenly, but still answered by shaking his head.

"Well, there is a theory that says that when you reach the pinnacle in terms of level, you cease to be a mortal and ascend to godhood"

Hearing what Lilia just said, Alex couldn't help but be utterly shocked as the implications of a theory were huge, however Lilia next words shocked him even further.

"If we consider that this theory is true, then the body the artifact supposedly gave you is literally a perfect - no, at this point we can say that your body is of the divine rank since it can help you reach the last level as long as you have something providing you mana, and knowing that your talent is tied to your body it means that your current talent is also of the divine rank"

Before Alex could even register what she just said, Lilia asked him "Now let me ask you, does it make sense to you that something created by a god for the sake of easing her boredom be able to grant a power that can potentially transform a mortal to a god ?"
