The night gradually darkened.
When the full moon hung high in the sky, the entire Mithra Kingdom gradually calmed down.
The engagement banquet, which was a celebration of the entire kingdom, came to an end.
However, as the news brought out by the nobles spread, the inside story of the engagement banquet began to spread throughout the night.
By tomorrow, the people of the kingdom and even the rest of the human race would know how wonderful the engagement banquet tonight was.
In any case, there would definitely be a lot of rumors about Shien.
Putting everything else aside, from today onward, Shien would officially be the "son-in-law" in reserve. His status would once again change, and he would become an existence that others would look up to.
Under such circumstances, Shien brought Ai Yi and Lilith back to Borztut's house on You Lin.
Vivian's team had already returned, and they seemed to have returned to their rooms to rest.
Lésia and La Xia also seemed to have returned. According to the maids, they seemed to be a little sneaky and in a hurry. After returning, they hid in their rooms and did not come out again.
"It's really not easy to make that missy feel afraid."
On the other hand, Sean was gloating.
He knew that Lésia must have been frightened by the appearance of Lydas, Anima, and Sylar.
After all, this arrogant missy had just been captured by Anima a while ago and was trapped in the Realm of the Gods. She almost couldn't return. As a former member of the Old Demons Faction, she did not dare to appear in front of the Supreme Demons, Sylar, and the Supreme Protoss, Lydas. It was normal for her to be frightened by the appearance of the three of them.
The three of them might not be as easygoing as Ai Yi and ignore her. Therefore, Lésia definitely did not dare to appear in front of the three of them.
"Let's see if you still dare to be so arrogant in the future. Do you really think that you can run around and cause trouble just because you're a spatial mage?"
Shien was very happy about this.
As for Ai Yi and Lilith, the two of them seemed to be sleepy. As soon as they returned home, one of them immediately rubbed her eyes and went back to her room, while the other fell asleep in Shien's arms.
"Let me do it."
La Xia appeared without anyone noticing and took the sleeping Lilith from Shien's arms.
Before Shien could even say a word, La Xia left with Lilith expressionlessly. He was so stunned that he almost couldn't react.
"Forget it."
There were a lot of things that happened today. Shien didn't want to toss around and investigate some meaningless things, so he just let Lilith be taken away by La Xia.
Speaking of which, La Xia seemed to have a special feeling for Lilith. She took good care of Lilith as if she was very experienced in this and had taken care of many children. Her proficiency made Shien begin to wonder if the maid of the fortress had secretly opened an orphanage or shelter outside.
Well, it was also possible that she already knew it.
Why?
She would definitely say so.
"This is a meaningless question. As a qualified maid, I naturally have to serve others perfectly."
How f * cking true.
Therefore, Sean did not care about anything else. He went straight to the big bathing area, took off his tightly bound ceremonial attire, and soaked himself in the hot water.
"Phew … I'm alive again …"
Leaning against the warm stone wall of the bathing pool, Shien exhaled contentedly.
At this time, Shien realized that he was actually quite tired.
"I got up early in the morning to prepare for the engagement banquet, handed over and contacted the people from the palace, and chose the clothes to wear at night. How can I not be tired?"
Especially when he had to try on more than a hundred sets of clothes, it was simply an incomparably painful experience.
Fortunately, there was a very powerful maid at home. She had the unique skill of undressing people in a second, dressing them in a second, and helping people solve their appearance problems in a second. The painful experience of this process was reduced a lot. Otherwise, Shien felt that he might have fainted and would not be able to attend the engagement banquet at night.
"But the engagement banquet is also magnificent …"
First, he had to smile and greet others. Then, he had to face the continuous bombardment of the big shots. In the middle, he even got a shock and experienced what it meant to be godly as hell. He had seen the strongest existence of this era.
Well, although this ultimate existence was defeated in the end, no matter what, that sense of existence and that sense of oppression were all real things.
Thinking back to the feeling of "invincibility" when he first met Lidas, Shien suddenly felt that he was not as strong as he thought.
Of course, compared to most people in this world, Shien was undoubtedly very strong.
At least, Shien did not think that he would lose to existences other than the three goddesses and the six demons.
This included Alidia, who was now known as the strongest existence of the human race. Shien was confident that he could defeat him.
Even if he did not use the holy sword, Shien would still have a chance of winning against Alidia head-on.
The problem was …
"I'm not as strong as them, but I'm better than them."
That was the case.
Right now, Shien's situation was that he was not as strong as them, but he was better than them.
Facing existences other than the three goddesses and the six demons, Shien could be said to be invincible.
However, facing existences on the level of the three goddesses and the six demons, Shien felt that he would not be able to defeat any one of them.
That was the standard of this world.
According to Shien's opinion, everyone in this world could be divided into three tiers.
The first tier only had two people — the Supreme God and the Demon King.
These two were extraordinary existences, the origin and beginning of everything. They weren't existences that humans could deal with, and they could be said to be truly invincible. If it wasn't for the fact that they mutually restrained each other and the appearance of the Hero, no one would have been able to do anything to these two existences, even if their enemies were all lifeforms in the world.
Fortunately, the Demon King had been jointly defeated by the Hero and the Supreme God. The Supreme God had also fallen into an eternal slumber. This level of existence beyond the standard could be ignored, and there was no need to consider their problems for the time being.
The second tier was a group of people — the three goddesses, the six demons, and existences that had touched this level.
These existences had already broken through the limits of life. According to Shien's opinion, they no longer had the concept of levels. They had broken free from the rules of [Truth] and were independent of the constraints of the world.
In other words, they had already surpassed the limit of level 100 and reached another realm. They were not existences that other living beings that were still limited to the limit of level 100 could compare to.
The evidence was that even now, Shien could not use the skill [Identify] to see the level and abilities of existences of this level.
Be it Ai Yi, Sela, or even Lilith and Anima, Shien could not see their levels and abilities. They also had powers that were far above ordinary people. Legendary existences like Alidia, who was about to reach the limit of his level, were probably just existences of the level of "slightly stronger ants" in front of them.
Even after using the holy sword, Shien was completely unable to defeat the evil god Lilith, who had lost her rationality and could only blindly squander her power. One could imagine how strong existences of this level were.
The third tier was the rest — all the living beings in this world.
They were still growing within the scope of [Truth]. They were existences with limits. They could not transcend or break through, and their limit was level 100.
In the final war a thousand years ago, the human race needed to gather 13 heroes above level 95 to barely fight against a single demon beast. This showed that, within this level, no matter how strong they were, there was nothing they could do.
Shien had reason to believe that these 13 heroes were all almighty humans, and none of them could be weaker than Alidia.
In other words, 13 people who were stronger than Alidia had to be gathered for the third tier to be able to fight against the second tier.
However, they could only fight against them at most.
It was said that more than half of the thirteen heroes had been killed by the Demon Beasts in the end. The rest had only managed to survive because the Demon King had been successfully defeated and the war had come to an end.
Otherwise, in the end, not a single one of them would have survived, right?
From this, it could be seen how big the gap was between those who had transcended and those who had not transcended.
Shien felt that his current strength was in the middle.
"Without using the holy sword, I'm probably at the top of the third tier, about the same level as Alidia.
"With the holy sword, I can reach above the third tier, but I can't reach the second tier. At most, I can use the power of the holy sword to pose some threat to them, but I'm not strong enough.
"This is because my level is still too low, and I have learned very few skills. My unique skills are not combat types, so they grow very quickly, but I still lack accumulation."
For example, although the holy sword could increase Shien's strength by 100 levels, not only did it not reach its maximum growth potential, but it could only increase Shien's strength, speed, defense, and so on.
However, the holy sword also had the effect of increasing the level of all skills by 10, and this effect depended on the number and strength of the skills.
The more skills Shien knew, the greater the increase in this effect.
On the other hand, it was far from reaching the limit.
In addition, the holy sword could restrain Demons and Evil Forces, and it also had immunity to negative effects, as well as the ability to weaken a large amount of damage.
The latter gave Shien the ability to survive and targeted power, so that Shien could successfully survive against the second tier, but it could not increase his strength.
In that case …
"I should think of a way to train myself again."
Last time, in order to learn Celestial Magic and other magic, Shien had put in a lot of effort.
This time, Shien was prepared to make use of his unique skill that had foul growth potential to the greatest extent to develop well.
"Okay."
Shien clapped his hands and made up his mind.
"Let's find some time to go to the Temple."
