Chapter 481 There's no such thing as talent or weirdness, it's all about hard work and sweat!
Alphia has been promoted two ranks!
If the gods knew about this, they would probably be so astonished that their eyes would pop out. It would be an unprecedented miracle that even the gods could not imagine.
This is the wonder of God's grace.
Even the gods cannot predict the growth of children in the mortal realm.
As long as adventurers dare to risk their lives and survive, the blessings of the gods will surely reward them handsomely, greatly reducing the requirements for personal qualifications.
For a peerless genius like Alphia, it would be even more extraordinary. With her talent at its peak, she works harder and more desperately than others, so it's only natural that she levels up continuously.
So Alphia was not surprised by this.
Anyone else would probably be overjoyed, but only Alphia knew that this great achievement was obtained by her hovering on the edge of life and death for countless long days and nights. The hardships she endured and the pain she felt were unimaginable to ordinary people!
This journey of recovery and improvement is not all good news; as the saying goes, there are gains and losses.
Roy asked, "Can the compensation for past misfortunes be used?"
Alphia's mind stirred, but the skill did not activate as usual, and she shook her head.
"Just as I expected!"
Roy noticed a question mark on Alphia's Blessing skill bar for "Talented Compensation," and this unusual signal must mean something.
Skills and magic have many similarities.
For example, Finn's magic "Fierce Magic Lance", Leon's magic "Round Table Flame", and Ota's skill "Summon War Boar" can all provide enhancements to all stats.
The effects are similar, but the two are divided into magic and skills. The biggest difference is that the former can be used as long as there is still mental energy, while the latter may fail under certain special circumstances.
If someone admires or idolizes someone like Bell, and catches up with that person in terms of status and strength, the effect will diminish or even gradually disappear.
Alphia's skill "Compensation for Misfortune" was also born from a terminal illness and disappeared upon recovery.
It has to be said that this is a very regrettable thing.
Although this skill has huge side effects, its effects are equally incredible. It can boost Alphia's stats to the limit, allowing her, at LV.7, to confront the Empress, who is at LV.9, head-on for a short period of time.
Using a single skill to bridge two levels is something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of.
Roy estimated that even if his "adventure" was taken to its extreme, the resulting boost would only be enough to offset the "misfortune caused by talent."
It's a draw, but his advantage lies in the absence of side effects.
"Forget it, the Dragon Physique can make up for the stat boosts, and it doesn't have any side effects!" Roy said.
The Dragon Physique Enhancement ability is not as powerful as "Compensation for Calamity", but it is a normal increase and can provide additional recovery power, making it more comprehensive. Unless it suffers a fatal injury, Alphia can heal itself, making it practically a living humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Alphia said calmly, "Are you underestimating me?"
Roy frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I remember you have an ability that increases your ability value the more you are in crisis," Alphia said.
"What's wrong?"
Roy was not surprised that Alphia knew about his "adventure" development ability. Through several public battles, countless people had scrutinized his information with magnifying glasses, and his intelligence had long been analyzed.
Although outsiders could not possibly know all about his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for them to guess seven or eight tenths of them.
"You think I can't simulate an environment by imagining a sense of crisis and triggering skill activation?"
Alphia slightly raised her delicate chin.
Upon hearing this, Roy's pupils widened. "Could it be?!"
Alphia's beautiful lips curved upwards as she imagined herself suffering from a terminal illness. From birth until now, she had endured that pain every moment. She was all too familiar with it, so it was easy for her to do.
Deceiving your own body and brain!
As long as she believes she still has a terminal illness, the skill "Misfortune Compensation" will be activated.
Compensation for Misfortune: Simulated Activation!
Along with side effects such as poisoning and palpitations, Alphia's abilities exploded. She struck with lightning speed, grabbing Roy's large and powerful hand.
Roy was startled and instinctively exerted force.
boom!
The two remained locked in a stalemate, the immense force traveling up their legs to the ground. The already cracked earth beneath their feet sank even deeper, causing a massive earthquake that shook the ground and affected areas several kilometers away.
The forest was in complete chaos, with chickens running and dogs barking about.
Najenda and the others outside were even paler. What exactly happened in that operating room?
The others wanted to go into the operating room to help, but Najenda stopped them. If Roy couldn't handle the problem, they would just be throwing their lives away if they went in.
Entering rashly might actually hinder Roy.
Najenda didn't want to be a terrible teammate.
"This power isn't level 8!"
Roy felt the astonishing power emanating from Alphia's small hand, which was actually able to contend with him. It was unbelievable. Although they were both LV.8, their stats were different. You should know that after the battle with the black dragon, his stats had experienced a surge.
Alphia has just been promoted to LV.8.
-
"What are my current stats?" A charming smile appeared on Alphia's face.
Roy glanced at the friends list on the system panel and replied, "They're all S999s!"
"Simulated skill activation only amplifies the damage by about half, and the side effects are also half, which just offsets the body's recovery ability," Alphia muttered to herself.
"That's outrageous!"
Roy smirked. He had spent a lot of time learning how to simulate a state.
Alphia completed it on her first try.
Roy seemed to understand the feelings of Zeus and the members of Hera's Familia. The techniques he had painstakingly honed were learned by Alphia with just a glance, even the "Residual Light" slash was no exception.
People with fragile mental states might become withdrawn on the spot.
Alphia's stats jumped from zero to S999, surpassing his own.
And it's only half the skill effect!
With the added Dragon Physique, it can even rival the power he accumulates by continuously breaking through his limits.
No wonder the compensation for the disaster is a question mark instead of disappearing directly; it turns out it's Schrödinger's skill!
The effect is halved, but it's equivalent to no side effects!
Roy's lips twitched. The "talent compensation" born from a terminal illness could be preserved. There was no such thing as a talent monster. He only saw hard work and sweat!
"snort!"
Seeing Roy's utterly dejected expression, Alphia couldn't help but hum softly, feeling pleased. A smile crept onto her lips. The strong would draw their swords against the stronger. It was more interesting to compare oneself with someone whose talent was no less than one's own. In her eyes, Roy's talent was even greater than hers.
Roy, on the other hand, was more excited. The greater the potential and strength that Alphia showed, the more correct his investment was.
Black Dragon, you're doomed!
"From now on, leave all battles to me!" Alphia's voice carried an undeniable force.
Her gloom vanished instantly!
The Empire's Three Beast Warriors launched a surprise attack, Esdeath caused trouble, and the Revolutionary Army held the World's Greatest Tournament—Roy, dragging his heavily injured body, ran around doing all this.
She could only watch like an outsider, which was extremely painful for anyone, let alone someone as confident and self-reliant as Alphia. She wouldn't be able to vent her anger until she destroyed the entire empire!
"Okay, thank you!" Roy was happy to see all this; this was how powerful thugs were used!
Moreover, his injuries have not fully recovered.
"Glug! Glug!" Roy opened the stoppers of two bottles of high-grade life elixir and one bottle of panacea, and gulped them down. A dazzling emerald green light emanated from his body, and a powerful life force flowed throughout his entire body.
With the elixirs at hand, it's only a matter of time before Roy's injuries are fully healed.
Only the severed left arm is a little more troublesome.
Roy was the first to leave the operating room, appearing before Najenda and the others. "It's over!"
"Mr. Roy, that's amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Najenda, the Revolutionary Army's high command, and numerous doctors breathed a sigh of relief, filled with amazement that such an almost impossible surgery had been accomplished.
Najenda's recruits, including Akame, Leone, and Brand, have a general understanding of the situation. Roy is holding the tournament not only to suppress the Empire but also to seize a certain Imperial Arm and save his seriously ill wife.
In everyone's mind, Royan has already been given the nickname "the most affectionate man in the empire".
As Alphia's stunning figure pushed open the tent door and stepped out, the entire noisy camp fell silent, utterly still.
Countless eyes were focused on her.
This is a stark contrast to her previous appearance, which was plagued by serious illness, pale as paper, and fragile enough to vanish at any moment! Her snow-white skin is like the finest mutton-fat jade, radiating a warm, moonlit glow, delicate and flawless.
Those dazzling heterochromatic eyes were deep and clear, containing a restrained brilliance that seemed to see through everything.
Her soft, silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, swaying gently with her light steps; every subtle movement exuded an innate nobility and elegance.
Looking at Alphia, Najenda and the others seemed to suddenly understand what true beauty and elegance meant!
She simply stood there quietly, her cool yet powerful aura silently enveloping the entire camp, causing everyone to hold their breath involuntarily.
However, the Teigu users felt completely different.
"What is this aura?!"
The powerful aura emanating from Alphia was faint yet felt like an invisible hammer, striking the very depths of the souls of all the Imperial Arms users.
Akame, Brand, and the others turned deathly pale instantly.
Their pupils contracted to pinpoints, fixed intently on Alphia's seemingly frail figure. Cold sweat soaked their backs, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and an instinctive fear surfaced within them.
"What's wrong with them?!"
A high-ranking revolutionary noticed Najenda and the others' unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, looking bewildered and suspicious.
Najenda and the others couldn't help but smile wryly. It turned out that being too weak was a kind of luck, at least they couldn't perceive the insurmountable gap between themselves and Alphia.
Rumble!
At that moment, a terrifying, earth-shaking roar came from the depths of the distant dense forest, and towering trees were crushed like fragile stalks of wheat.
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, an enormous shadow tore through the billowing smoke and broken wood chips, bursting into everyone's view. It was a lion tens of meters tall, covered in dark golden, rock-like scales, exuding a ferocious aura.
Those giant, scarlet eyes burned with boundless rage, fixed on Roy and the others at the camp, their heavy breathing creating a terrifying shockwave.
"Was the super dangerous species awakened by the tremor just now?!" Najenda's expression changed drastically.
Humans are not the absolute rulers of this world.
Super Dangerous Species are also extremely powerful, and can even be said to be the rulers of nature.
The Imperial Arms are all made from materials from Super Dangerous Species, inheriting their outstanding abilities, but it's hard to say that they completely replicate the combat power of Super Dangerous Species.
Even an ordinary Teigu user would have a hard time guaranteeing victory in a one-on-one fight against a powerful Super Dangerous Beast.
They had carefully chosen this forest as their campsite and had already scouted it out, but they never expected that there were hibernating, super-dangerous species lurking underground. As a result, they were awakened by the earthquake caused by Roy and Alphia's struggle.
Najenda's voice was heavy with determination. She made a swift and sharp command: "Everyone, retreat immediately!"
"Need not!"
Before Najenda could finish speaking, Roy interrupted her, looking at the aloof and snow-white figure. He knew that Alphia had been holding back her anger for a while, and now an unlucky guy had conveniently come knocking on her door.
Alphia nodded slightly, her heterochromatic eyes fixed on the super-dangerous creature. Her cherry lips parted slightly, uttering a short, cold syllable: "Gospel!"
As her "Magic" ability was activated, a dazzling magic circle appeared beneath her feet, drawing in magical energy.
hum!
The terrifying sonic attack was launched, causing the space to ripple violently as if a calm lake had been thrown in with a giant rock, and it struck the enormous, dangerous creature directly.
The golden lion, which was about to pounce, seemed to freeze in place, its massive body momentarily frozen in place.
Frozen in place!
Those huge, scarlet eyes, burning with rage, were replaced by incomprehensible astonishment and bewilderment.
puff!
In the next instant, its massive body exploded, blood and flesh flying everywhere! Its indestructible scales, bulging muscles, and thick bones—were as fragile as glass in the face of Alphia's bombardment.
Everyone in the camp who witnessed this scene was stunned, their mouths agape.
That super dangerous species was capable of bringing annihilation to a city, but in front of Alphia, it was instantly reduced to ashes with a single, single strike!
Upon witnessing Alphia's unimaginable fighting prowess, Najenda and the Revolutionary Army's high command were overjoyed, their confidence in overthrowing the Empire's tyranny growing even stronger.
"Satisfied now?" Alphia walked gracefully to Roy's side and whispered.
"Um!"
Roy smiled and nodded. Alphia's terminal illness had been cured, and it was only a matter of time before he recovered from his injuries. All that remained was to destroy the empire and complete the mission.
To speed up the process, it is essential to boost the morale of the revolutionary army. With two bombs and four twos in hand, what is there to be afraid of? Let's wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop!
With Roy and Najenda working together, the decision to launch a general offensive was quickly passed, and in less than ten days, the troops were fully integrated and had ample supplies.
The revolutionary army marched from south to north, beginning its conquest of cities and territories!
The main force advanced with unstoppable momentum, and often before even reaching the target city, local officials and nobles would surrender, and the people would welcome the king's army with food and drink.
Esdeath and Bud, hailed as the "Twin Pillars of the Empire," were both defeated and killed. What chance did they have to resist?
Roy's killing of Esdeath and the Three Beast Warriors, and his crushing defeat of the Imperial Arms user squad led by Budo in the World Championship, have spread throughout the entire Empire.
Everyone realized that things were about to change!
Finally, the revolutionary army arrived at that fateful place, the political center of the empire—the capital!
