"Indeed, some things needed to be cleaned up." Naberius spoke as she glanced at Rhinedottir beside her. After merging with Rhinedottir, it was not only Rhinedottir who had benefited and gained the ability to use her authority; she had also gained quite a few benefits from Rhinedottir.
As a shadow of the Heavenly Principles, Naberius was born with the authority of creation. Yet precisely because of that, her upper limit had been restricted. Otherwise, why would she have needed to merge with Rhinedottir?

After all, she was a researcher, not a combat genius. Among Khaenri'ah's Five Great Sins, only the Foul Riders were combat geniuses, which was why they had achieved the greatest growth.
As for the other four, their strength was merely at the Archon level. Of course, only Shen Fei could say that given his current strength. Archon-level beings were already powerful figures in Teyvat; countless people could never reach that level in their entire lives.
