Chapter 175 I Want To Show Off~
Meanwhile, Fiona ultimately left Juliette's embrace, and held her hands instead. "Juliette, its been a while~" She happily chimed.
"It indeed has. I'm glad you are taking good care of yourself, Fifi." Juliette responded.
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"I mean you look prettier than last time. It shows that you took good care of yourself." Juliette happily explained, all smiles.
"O–Of course, I mean, it's me we are talking about." Fiona, though abashed, proudly lifted her chin as she declared.
"Yes yes." Juliette chuckled at her behavior. They were both the same age, and yet Juliette felt like she was the older sister of Fiona. 'Is it because Damien treats her like a little sister?' She wondered. Trace the roots of this material to n0v★lbin
As his self-proclaimed wife, then automatically, Fiona was a "little sister" to her too... right?
"Good afternoon, your highness." She greeted Adonis, who stood aside like a mannequin as the two girls bonded.
"Hm? Ah, good afternoon lady Juliette." Adonis respectfully greeted back, then, like the man he was, immediately jumped straight to business, "So, might I ask why you called us out?"
He inquired, causing all three ladies to look at him with varying gazes.
'As expected of a man, straight to business.'
'No greetings?'
'So this is the new city lord? He's quite... straightforward.'
From Juliette to Fiona, then to Sasha, all three ladies thought at the same time. And being the focus of their gazes, Adonis felt strange.
"Did... Did I say something strange?" He inquired.
"Not at all, your highness." Juliette sighed, but then decided to respond to his question, 'I did call them here out of the blue, after all.'
"...Sorry to call you out so suddenly, I just wanted to show off a bit." She said, after a minute of sorting out her thoughts. A response she saw no problem within.
"..."
"..."
"..."
But all three, Sasha included, were left speechless in shock.
"Hm? Did I say something wrong?" Juliette looked at their expressions and repeated what Adonis said when he received the same gazes.
"Ah, no. I just think we misheard you." Fiona responded, and Juliette nodded, as she magnanimously repeated herself, "You are all here because I want to show off."
She said, and once more, received the same gazes. "...Anyway, while you digest that, I want to show you something."
She added, a playful smile on her face.
And seeing her smile, Fiona and Sasha finally realized that they were played with. While Adonis, remained unaffected.
Juliette then chuckled as she walked towards one of the metallic pillars, that was connected to the skeletal structure of the Institution. Her steps light and airy.
"..."
"..."
Fiona and Adonis intently watched her walk.
They knew very well not to look down on any of the Silvers. Their strength, realm, knowledge, or mystery, superceded anyone they have met since birth till now.
[ Grade :- Gold ]
[ Definition :- Once every two hours, your body will naturally condense a single unit of Mana Essence that is capable of warping the world around you. The higher the Mana Essence, the higher the range you can affect, and the easier it will be to alter Reality to your liking... ten Trillion units of Mana can also be converted to a single unit of Mana Essence. The converted Mana will permanently be lost within your body ]
"..."
Silently standing before the metallic pillar, that was half a meter thick, as everyone kept their eyes on her, Juliette silently read through the definition of the Technique.
A simple enough definition.
She could obtain Mana Essence daily. A type of Essence that would allow her to manipulate the Reality around her to her pleasing.
At the same time, she could permanently discard trillion units of Mana to obtain more Mana Essence. And the Mana will not be recovered, either than through special means, or through cultivation.
Mind you, ten trillion units of Mana should be something demigods require to truly try and become genuine gods.
Not even the strongest of demigods have that much at their starting point. And to reach such number, they have to cultivate for over a hundred years at most.
'Imagine discarding a hundred years of effort, for just a single unit of Mana Essence, that might not even alter much...' Juliette understood how greedy this Technique was.
But the power to alter Reality, was also something else. Such greediness, was well understood.
"Unfortunately, before me or Dammy, you can only gaze up in awe." Juliette said to herself, as she sacrificed a single cell to the Philosophical Mana-Kinesis Technique.
A single cell.
The cell of the originator of the Ascendent Human race.
A tiny part of her, that contained quintillions of units of Mana. Such a part was casually sacrificed, as her Mana Essence escalated.
Her Mana Essence immediately climbed up by over a hundred thousand units, as Juliette casually sacrificed hundreds of thousand of demigod's hundred years of effort just like that.
[ Mana Essence: 449,746 ]
And that was not all, as seeing the Mana Essence increase, Juliette continued to sacrifice more of her Mana-infused cells.
'I can regrow these cells anyway. And I'll refill them with new Mana soon enough.' She thought, as a thousand cells were easily sacrificed.
A thousand.
A thousand cells just like that.
And her Mana Essence... was now insane.
[ Mana Essence: 765,881,944 ]
...!!!
The potency of the Mana Essence around her, were so much, so intense, she subconsciously altered Reality by just breathing.
Huuuh~
She subconsciously breathed out. An everyday action she does to absorb Mana, and yet this time, it did not just absorb Mana.
...!!!
The sorounding space around Juliette, suddenly became malleable, like jelly, as it rippled gently under her breathe alone.
Not only the space, the air, the ground, and even the metallic pillars before her. They all seemed like jelly, as if they would crumble down with a mere squeeze.
The earth also felt like it would collapse if someone ever stepped onto it... gently.
