The last day before the return.
Inside the campsite.
Lin looked at Gid and said with a smile, "It seems that before I leave, you still won't be able to defeat me."
Although Gid had issued dozens of challenges to him over these past few days, every single one ended with him being beaten until his face looked like a pig's head. Even when the seven King's Generals joined forces, he could only fight them to a fifty-fifty standstill.
Hearing this, Gid couldn't help but fall silent. He gritted his teeth, somewhat unwilling to accept it. "I lost this time, but the next time we meet, I will definitely defeat you."
A loss was a loss. Although he was a bit unwilling to accept it, he wouldn't flatly deny it. Moreover, failure wasn't terrifying. Lin's appearance had also made him realize that his current strength was far from powerful enough. To end this universal war, he needed even greater strength.
"I hope so," Lin said with a faint smile.
Gid hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Thank you."
"Huh? What did you say?" A strange look flashed through Lin's eyes.
"Forget it if you didn't hear me!" Gid put his hands on his hips and turned his head away.
Seeing this scene, Lin couldn't help but gently hook up the corners of his mouth. He hadn't expected Gid to be a bit tsundere when he was young.
He knew why Gid was saying thank you. It was gratitude for the guidance. After his continuous pummeling these past days, Gid's combat power had improved significantly compared to when they first met. Furthermore, he had formally mastered the technique similar to Meteoric Burst.
The next step was to continuously adjust and perfect it. Gid named this technique "Stellar Burst." He came up with this after asking Lin about the name of Meteoric Burst. A star was obviously more powerful than a meteor.
In response, Lin called it childish. Then, he beat Gid up fiercely in the sub-space. He wanted him to understand a principle: having a fierce-sounding name was useless. Only strong hard power was truly strong.
After a brief chat with Gid, Lin found Sephie by the lakeside.
Today, she was wearing new clothes. She had changed from her previous white dress into a blue and white Rococo-style dress. It was made to measure and fit perfectly. Added to Sephie's own outstanding beauty and figure, it was like adding flowers to brocade.
Standing by the lake, the breeze blew her smooth hair, and the white veil on her face and her skirt swayed in the wind. The golden sunlight sprinkled over her body. She looked just like a beautiful fairy of the lake.
Over these few days, Lin had custom-made several sets of clothes for Sephie. Lingerie and outerwear, silk stockings and shoes—he had made them all.
"Sephie." Lin called out as he approached.
"Lin, you're here." Hearing Lin call her name, Sephie turned to look at him.
Lin arrived at Sephie's side. He turned his head to look at her and asked with a light chuckle, "What were you just thinking about?"
Sephie's eyes flickered slightly. "Something very important."
"What is it?" Lin was a bit curious.
Sephie spoke slowly in a deep voice, "I was thinking that in twenty or thirty years, I'll already be in my thirties or forties. Will you still like me then?"
Right now, she and Lin were about the same age. But in twenty or thirty years, she would be at least twenty years older than Lin. Would Lin despise her? After all, she knew that men seemed to like the young and beautiful ones.
"So you were worrying about this? I thought it was something else." Lin couldn't help but laugh upon hearing Sephie's words, then continued, "Don't worry, I will never despise you. Besides, I have a way to make you ageless and undying, Sephie."
"Eh? Ageless?!"
Hearing this, Sephie opened her beautiful eyes a bit wider in surprise. Her pupils trembled lightly, finding it somewhat hard to believe. Seeing that Sephie had extracted the keywords from 'ageless and undying,' the arc of Lin's smile rose a bit higher.
He nodded with a smile. "That's right. I can share my abilities with you."
"How do we do that?" Sephie's face was full of anticipation and curiosity.
Lin: "Sign a contract with me. Once the contract is signed, it means you will belong to me forever."
Sephie was slightly stunned upon hearing this. Her gaze flickered, and she smiled, saying, "Then what are you waiting for?"
Seeing Sephie speak like this, Lin met her gaze for a moment, then extended his right hand and said with a smile, "Give me your hand."
Sephie placed her right hand in Lin's palm. A curious light shimmered in her eyes.
Lin activated the King's Clansman ability. With a turn of his thoughts, he chose to bestow the power of the Silver Kingship authority upon Sephie. He hesitated for a moment between the Silver Kingship authority and the Colorless Kingship authority, but finally chose Silver.
Nowadays, the Supreme Kingship ability had been improved almost to the extreme, allowing clansmen to also master the abilities corresponding to the Kingship authority. For example, a clansman possessing the power of the Silver Kingship authority could also manipulate gravity.
Sephie could clearly perceive a very peculiar power flowing from Lin's hand into her body. An indescribable sensation washed over her. A sense of fullness, a sense of comfort...
Her body felt as if it were being reborn. Wisps of warm power shuttled through her body, seeming to wrap around every cell, connecting to form a net. Finally, it gathered and condensed in her lower abdomen.
Sephie recovered from this indescribable good feeling, vaguely perceiving changes in the world around her. She had an inexplicable understanding in her heart. It was as if she could manipulate certain things.
Lin smiled faintly and said, "You felt it, right, Sephie? You already have the ability to control gravity."
"...Control gravity?!" Sephie's small mouth parted slightly upon hearing this. A look of shock immediately appeared on her face.
Born in a civilization capable of space travel, Sephie naturally knew what gravity was, and it was precisely because she knew that she was so shocked.
Lin chuckled lightly. "Next, I'll help you with some special training."
"Okay..." Sephie nodded.
While Lin and Sephie began their special ability training, Gid wandered alone on Planet Parulphis. He wanted to see if there were any stronger giant beasts. After all, he had heard before coming here that there were many powerful giant beasts.
The strongest one encountered so far was that giant elephant, but to him, it was just a roadside stray that could be instant-killed with one move. Perhaps there were stronger ones. Since he was idle, he could go look for them.
Two hours passed in a flash.
Under Lin's careful guidance, coupled with her impressive talent, Sephie's control over her own ability advanced by leaps and bounds.
Floating in mid-air, looking at a mountain-like boulder, Sephie flicked her finger with her right hand. Invisible gravity compressed and condensed into a stream, instantly striking a circular boulder a thousand meters in diameter like a giant hammer blow.
Boom! An explosion rang out.
The boulder, hundreds of meters away, flew into the air, turning into sky-filling powder mid-flight. She then turned to look at another piece. She spread the five fingers of her right hand and clenched them from a distance.
Terrifying gravity wrapped around the boulder from all directions, squeezing it frantically until its volume finally shrank by more than half. The surface gleamed with a metallic luster.
Manipulating this compressed stone, Sephie applied gravity again. The stone fell rapidly from the sky toward the ground. Like a falling meteorite.
Boom! An explosion smashed a massive deep pit into the ground.
Seeing this, Lin said with a smile, "Good, that will do."
"Phew..." Hearing this, Sephie exhaled gently. A look of lingering satisfaction emerged in her eyes. Mastering a combat-oriented ability for the first time made her somewhat excited inside.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Lin suddenly sensed something. His brow couldn't help but furrow slightly. He then said to Sephie, "Something is attacking Gid's spaceship. Let's go take a look."
