The pitch-black night
slowly emerged on the sea surface by the Spring’s edge.
The flow of time inside and outside the trial held certain discrepancies. While Ronald faced various choices in the trial, huge changes had already occurred on the battlefield at Springs.
The battle, which was originally located in the coastal region, had now shifted eastwards along the coastline to the outskirts of the city. The exaggeratedly large sea monster now lay barely breathing on the city ground, its magical aura whittled down to nearly nothing.
Queen Dantrian had successfully dealt with the creature.
Ronald, floating on the sea, let out a long breath and then slowly opened his eyes.
The emotion in his eyes
still lingered on everything that had happened during the trial just now.
Deserving of the trial from "Divine Comedy," perhaps...
The original work’s "Purgatory" narrates the poet’s observations and experiences in purgatory.
However, this place is not like the concept of ’purgatory on earth’ in everyday speech, but rather a realm where those burdened with sins undergo suffering and purify their misdeeds.
Here, souls go through this process, and after completing their purification, they even gain the chance to ascend to Heaven—an integral location within the "Divine Comedy" system.
And the trial Ronald had just undergone
actually aligned covertly with this concept of ’purgatory,’ only it transformed into a purification of the innermost self.
Thus, in the final part of the trial,
Yanni, realizing the true nature of the trial, chose to abandon himself for Ronald’s sake, which led to the conclusion of everything. This content belongs to novel-fire.net
And now, the Ronald corresponding to this,
having passed the final trial, finally gained full control over "Divine Comedy."
At this moment, on Ronald,
"Divine Comedy’s" three types of magical powers of distinct nature are swiftly uniting.
Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust...
These infamous seven deadly sins of magical spells.
Now lay in his hands.
Corresponding to their names, each of the seven spells has its benefits and drawbacks.
Pride—Power of Domination.
It’s similar to the word spells used in "Heavenly Chapter," and Rumil had used this power in battle against Ronald before.
Envy—Power of Transformation.
This spell allows the alteration of one’s appearance. Ronald, now in complete control of all spells, can freely imitate anyone he has seen.
Wrath—Intensification of Emotions.
This ability is special; when activated, it does not cause any detectable magic fluctuation, but rather subtly guides people’s emotions toward extremes. The angry grow angrier, the pained feel more pain, the obsessed keep obsessing.
Although it cannot have immediate striking effects in direct combat, it is undoubtedly a formidable power.
Sloth—Power of Stability.
The name of this ability explains its function. When the caster activates this spell, they can maintain a still stance on the spot and gain a very strong defensive power.
The scouting ability of greed is quite unique. Casters can pre-select a target in their mind, and the spell will continue to take effect.
Once the caster and the ’greedy target’ get close to a certain range, the spell will directly provide information about the target.
Gluttony—Power of Devouring
The caster can use copious eating to repair injuries urgently.
Even without injuries, they can store energy through daily meals and use it at specific times.
Lust—This is the last ability.
It is the same star-enhancing power from the other two parts of "Divine Comedy," needless to elaborate.
Activating the abilities of the seven deadly sins involves not just this.
The structure of the original text of "Divine Comedy" had unified at this moment, and Ronald’s mastery of all the spells within this system had been fully enhanced. At the same time, his own magic power had also advanced one step further, experiencing a dual leap in both quality and quantity.
Feeling the strong power surging within his body.
Ronald almost subconsciously clenched his fists:
Ronald’s thoughts were still lingering in the past.
The great power could not dispel his final sensations of the trial.
At that moment, a strong magic fluctuation came from the east.
The breeze brought by this magic brushed across his face, causing Ronald’s expression to suddenly realize.
He had returned to reality.
Though the trial’s experiences were hard to forget, one had to firmly grasp the tangible reality underfoot.
The next second, Ronald’s gaze changed.
The end of the trial and the complete mastery of "Divine Comedy" also brought with them the opening of this original text’s ultimate power to him—the Complete Technique.
"Human reason has limits..."
"Catherine’s words really are precise..."
He shook his head slightly.
No action was needed, just like the other Complete Techniques he had witnessed. With just a thought, the spell was instantly activated by Ronald.
The sun set quietly over the calm sea, with changes occurring silently.
On the surface, this was just another ordinary part of the sea, with air, seawater, temperature...
All of it had not changed in the slightest.
But if a sufficiently powerful caster were standing here.
Then the result would be different!
He would immediately notice the bizarre circumstances around Ronald.
Centered around Ronald, a circular area with a nine-meter radius appeared quietly. Within this circle, all natural magic powers that constitute spells began to undergo an indescribable change.
If one had to make a description,
It was as if during a conversation between two people, the flow of the content subtly shifted. While it still looked like a regular chat between friends, some unspeakable change was there.
Standing within the domain he had created, Ronald’s eyes held a trace of dazed realization.
He lifted his right hand to look at his palm, and after grasping it back and forth a few times, confirmed that his control over his body was still normal.
"This...this is just too much of a cheat, isn’t it?"
A few seconds later, Ronald couldn’t help coughing aloud.
While waving his hand to cancel the immensely draining Complete Technique, he also shook his head with a complex look in his eyes.
Despite the astonishing rate of consumption of magic power,
That still couldn’t hold back Ronald’s high quality.
With the strength of the Complete Technique of "Divine Comedy," he now even had a hundred percent certainty of defeating a man-made deity!
With such a mood, he readjusted his state.
Ronald immediately chanted softly:
"Starting with the relationship between the entire Earth and the sky, we will begin to form our cognition."
Targeting the eastern suburbs of the city, the battlefield of the Barrier Mountain wizards and the Springs guards,
Ronald traced a beautiful arc in the air with his body.
