[Tohsaka Rin: "The newcomer's matter has finally been resolved, congratulations!"]
[Kanae: "As expected, Ryuga-sama had to personally intervene!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Indeed, although I knew Ryuga-sama's strength was definitely not just third tier, I never imagined that as long as Ryuga-sama was willing, he could become a fourth-tier powerhouse at any time!"]
After the battle, Tohsaka Rin specifically checked and discovered that Ryuga's strength had indeed reached the fourth-tier Land Sinking level.
This display of becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents made everyone sigh with admiration.
If the newcomer this time had been a fifth-tier Star Destroyer level powerhouse, wouldn't Ryuga possibly advance directly to Star Destroyer level?
[Madoka: "No matter what, it's great that there was no conflict!"]
Madoka also breathed a sigh of relief. If Jibril had dominated the chat group, who knows what would have happened.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Speaking of which, Jibril was so arrogant before, but she submitted so quickly afterward."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Although it doesn't seem like she's playing any tricks, we should still be careful!"]
[Kanae: "Looking at her, she probably wasn't pretending. It's hard for normal people to act that perverted... cough I mean eccentric."]
They were slightly puzzled by Jibril's lightning-fast submission.
[Jibril: "!"]
[Jibril: "How can you talk about someone behind their back like this? Are you trying to sow discord and steal my position in Master's heart?"]
Seeing the chat in the group, Jibril became anxious.
Even if Ryuga trusted her completely, being constantly told by these people that she was unreliable would inevitably plant seeds of doubt in his mind.
She had finally found a lord who could accommodate her ideals—how could she let these people ruin it?
[Tohsaka Rin: "Getting anxious?"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "By the way, we're not talking behind your back—we're discussing it right in front of you."]
Since the opponent was already a defeated general, there was naturally no need to worry.
Thinking of the threats the other party had made against her earlier, she wouldn't be herself if she didn't get some revenge now.
[Kanae: "You can't blame Rin for being suspicious. Jibril-san, your previous behavior was indeed... likely to make people harbor doubts."]
Even someone as gentle as Kanae could only point this out tactfully.
Regarding this arrogant Flügel who had offended everyone upon joining the group, even if they didn't want to hold grudges, they would subconsciously feel some resistance.
[Madoka: "Indeed."]
[Jibril: "Uwaaaah! I'm sorry! Ryuga-sama, what should I do now?"]
[Jibril: "@Ryuga."]
Being cornered, she immediately sought help in panic.
To this, Ryuga gave only a simple reply.
[Ryuga: "Show sincerity."]
[Jibril: "Sincerity?"]
The Flügel tilted her head, pondered for two seconds, then immediately showed an expression of understanding.
[Jibril: "I understand!"]
[Jibril: "I'm sorry, everyone! I shouldn't have called you all weaklings who can't even match the Forest Elves. Although that's the truth, I shouldn't have said it like that."]
[Jibril: "After all, you are group members who interact with Master as equals. Showing disrespect to everyone present is equivalent to ignoring Master's dignity. As a servant, making such an error is simply inexcusable. For this, I want to offer you all my most sincere apology."]
[Jibril: "Kowtowing.jpg"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "..."]
[Erica: "..."]
[Madoka: "..."]
[Jibril: "Eh, is there something wrong with my apology? Please speak up, I'll correct it!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "What kind of apology is this? Didn't you just humiliate us again?"]
[Jibril: "But... these are my true thoughts! Ryuga-sama's requirement was to show sincerity. Wasn't I sincere enough?"]
Jibril felt she had been sincere enough.
As for the so-called belittling, wasn't that just the truth?
These weaklings who hadn't even reached the second tier were indeed inferior to those Forest Elf weeds!
[Tohsaka Rin: "Although what you said is indeed factual..."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "But why do I feel like I've been humiliated again?"]
Through this apology, Tohsaka Rin roughly understood Jibril's worldview.
For this Flügel, strength determined the right to speak. Right now, she was indeed expressing her thoughts with the most sincere attitude.
In her heart, there was nothing wrong with mocking weaklings en masse—the problem was mocking people that her lord Ryuga knew.
If they weren't acquainted with Ryuga, in Jibril's eyes, they would probably be no different from weeds, right?
With modern values, it was indeed difficult to accept this kind of thinking that lacked basic etiquette, but from a magus's perspective, Tohsaka Rin deeply understood that Jibril's survival-of-the-fittest mentality wasn't fundamentally flawed.
Rules have always been used to constrain the weak.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Although I can understand it, I'm still angry."]
[Madoka: "+1."]
[Jibril: "It still doesn't work? I can't very well lie, can I? Although I wouldn't mind doing so, Ryuga-sama asked me to show sincerity... Ryuga-sama, help!"]
Feeling she had been sincere enough, Jibril called for rescue again.
And this time, Ryuga's evaluation was equally simple.
[Ryuga: "Not practical enough."]
[Jibril: "I understand! Thank you, Ryuga-sama!"]
Seeing Jibril cheer again, Tohsaka Rin's mouth twitched.
What did this girl understand now? She wouldn't try to humiliate them again, would she?
[Tohsaka Rin: "Don't think we're the type to be bought off by trivial benefits—"]
Before she could finish her complaint, system notifications arrived.
[Group member Jibril has purchased your "Mana Refinement Method"]
[Group member Jibril has purchased your "Basic Gem Magecraft"]
[Group member Jibril has purchased your...]
Looking at the series of notifications and her rapidly increasing point balance, Tohsaka Rin quietly deleted her previous message and typed out a smiley face.
[Tohsaka Rin: "You really judge people accurately!"]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Suddenly feel all my resentment has disappeared. Thank you, boss! @Jibril."]
Although Jibril's way of thinking was indeed infuriating, she was truly generous with her spending!
All the magecraft skills from the Tohsaka family that Rin had uploaded, including many obscure magical techniques that had never sold, were completely swept up by Jibril, bringing Tohsaka Rin's point balance to over ten thousand.
With so many points, she could directly purchase the Greater Source Mana Refinement Method she had been longing for.
Besides that, Ryuga had previously uploaded a bunch of materials, including many useful spells. If she could purchase them, her strength would quickly surpass her father's.
With such great benefits, suddenly being humiliated earlier didn't seem like much.
That's over ten thousand points!
The same experience happened to Erica, Kanae, and Madoka.
Except for Madoka, who had few uploaded items and didn't benefit much, Erica received the most points, even exceeding Tohsaka Rin's; although Kanae got slightly less, all her uploaded items were still completely bought out.
For her, this was already an enormous gain, exceeding more than half a year's accumulation.
[Kanae: "Thank you, boss!"]
[Erica: "Thank you, boss!"]
[Madoka: "Thank you, boss!"]
They finally experienced the power of a rich woman.
[Jibril: "So everyone forgives me?"]
Jibril blinked, not expecting to pass so easily.
With her strength, she naturally possessed points in the millions. The points spent on buying everyone's items this time weren't even a fraction of her account balance.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Of course! Remember to patronize our business in the future, rich lady!"]
Tohsaka Rin clenched her small fists, already starting to think about how to trick her father into lending her his Magic Crest.
Magic Crests often contained all the accumulated knowledge of a magus family over hundreds of years, making them far more valuable than ordinary magecraft.
[Jibril: "No problem!"]
[Jibril: "Speaking of which, Master, shouldn't we be departing now?"]
Jibril's comment caught everyone's attention.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Departing? Is Ryuga-sama going to battle again?"]
After leaving the moon, Ryuga had turned off his livestream, so they didn't know the current situation.
[Ryuga: "Yes."]
[Tohsaka Rin: "Suddenly I think it's quite normal for Ryuga-sama to get stronger so quickly. It's only been a few days, and Ryuga-sama has been fighting constantly with basically no rest."]
The twin-tailed young girl sighed thus.
Besides his heaven-defying comprehension, Ryuga's proactive nature was also why he could grow stronger so quickly.
Otherwise, there would be no way to break through to the fourth tier in just four days.
Hearing this, Ryuga shook his head.
[Ryuga: "This time doesn't count as battle—just a trip to the God Realm."]
Earlier, he had already decided to head to the God Realm, which was why he had specifically lured Athena over and defeated her.
He had only been interrupted midway by Jibril's situation.
After dealing with Jibril's matter, he would naturally proceed according to the original plan.
[Tohsaka Rin: "Doesn't count as battle... does this mean the enemies are too weak to be worth worrying about?"]
[Kanae: "I remember we were a bit nervous when the God Realm was mentioned before, but now—"]
Having witnessed the moon-shattering scene, they indeed no longer worried about Ryuga's plans.
Ordinary gods, let alone Ryuga, probably couldn't even pass the hurdle of Altria and Jibril.
The times had changed—it was no longer Ryuga standing alone at the peak, but both his retainers could also stand at the pinnacle.
[Erica: "I used to worry about Ryuga-sama, but now I'm starting to worry about the God Realm."]
[Erica: "Are they really prepared to welcome Ryuga-sama's arrival?"]
