The Shocked Big Three
After confirming that he would not be upgrading at this stage, Leo left Loki's Divine Room.
"----Something terrible is about to happen."
Watching Leo's departing figure, Loki suddenly stood up.
Her face was full of excitement as she paced back and forth in the Divine Room, and after a while, she slapped her thigh.
"No! We have to go talk to Finn and the others!"
With this thought in mind, Loki quickly ran out of the Divine Room and rushed towards Finn's office.
In Finn's office, inside the tower directly north of the Twilight Manor ----
Just like when Leo came here before, the three leaders of the Loki Familia were gathered here, handling internal affairs of the Familia together.
The expedition had just ended not long ago, and the entire clan was still busy with the cleanup work. As the leaders of the clan, Finn and the others had to handle far more affairs than others, unlike the younger officers who didn't have to deal with difficult paperwork or miscellaneous tasks like ordinary members. Instead, they were free to do their own things.
Before Loki arrived, the three leaders of the clans were discussing something.
--
But now, they no longer have that in mind.
"Total proficiency in all abilities increased by more than 3000?"
"The upgrade requirements were met in just ten days?"
"This----"
Hearing Loki's incredibly excited words, Finn, Riveria, and Gareth all simultaneously doubted their ears.
"Is this... is this real?"
The usually rational and composed Riveria was now filled with astonishment, her eyes wide with disbelief, unable to believe what she was hearing.
"I'm telling you, you're not drunk and having some kind of daydream, are you?"
Gareth expressed his doubts in a gruff voice, his brows furrowed.
"What kind of daydream could be so beautiful? We wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing normally!" Loki was still as excited as ever, gesturing wildly as he shouted, "If I were to have a beautiful dream, it would be about pretty girls, not that brat!"
The three leaders' lips twitched simultaneously.
But you know what? That statement is actually quite convincing.
So—everything you just said was true? You weren't just making fun of us?
Finn remained as calm as ever, but subconsciously bit his thumb.
This is a habitual behavior he exhibits when he's thinking about something important or brainstorming.
Clearly, this leader of the Lilliputian Prum was also surprised by the news Loki brought.
How could I not be shocked?
The news Loki brought was truly astonishing.
"This is unbelievable, it's hard to believe!"
Riveria still doubted the veracity of the story.
"Yes, such a growth rate is simply impossible, isn't it?" Gareth agreed with Riveria's statement, saying, "Don't even mention us, even Ais can't compare. Are you trying to say that the person that girl randomly picked up in the Dungeon a year ago is a super genius who can leave our Princess?"
This is something that not only they wouldn't believe, but no one in their position would believe either.
Eight years ago, a little girl who was only eight years old at the time leveled up to Lv.2 at an abnormally fast pace, an event that remains fresh in people's minds to this day.
In just one year, he went from a newbie who had just received the Falna to the peak of Iv.1, and successfully advanced to Lv.2, becoming an advanced adventurer. This achievement directly broke the historical record for the fastest time to reach Lv.2, making Orario ----
No, it should be said that it caused a global uproar.
The other party was neither a magical race like the elves, who were blessed with natural advantages, nor a being like dwarves, orcs, or Amazons, who were born with superior physical potential. Instead, they were humans, whose physical abilities and intelligence were far inferior to those of other races.
Therefore, even today, this event is still a story that countless people talk about with great interest. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it has been recorded in history and that the person has been remembered for their name.
But now, Loki is telling them that another human has utterly destroyed this incredible achievement?
With a total increase of over 3000 in all abilities proficiency, the upgrade requirement was met in just ten days. This was indeed as Loki said, something he wouldn't even dare to dream of doing.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I even copied down that kid's stats."
Loki chuckled mischievously and tossed a piece of parchment onto the desk.
"See for yourselves, seeing is believing."
Upon hearing this, Finn and his two companions immediately turned their attention to the parchment.
Then they saw something astonishing that they would never forget for countless years to come.
Leo Eligos Lv.1
Strength: 10 → D557
Durability:10→E496
Dexterity: 10 → D581
Agility: 10 → C644
Demonic Power: I0→B752
"This----"
Finn, Riveria, and Gareth were all taken aback.
They looked at each other, then fell into an indescribable silence.
--
"Well? Do you believe me now?" Loki said smugly. "Don't say we misread or miswritten it. The Familia has been around for decades. When have we ever misread or miswritten your ability stats?"
This has never happened before.
Therefore, the moment Finn and his two companions saw the parchment, they all believed it was true.
Even if it's incredible, even if it's unbelievable, the facts are undeniable, leaving no room for anyone present to escape reality.
"----If this is true, then it only proves one thing."
After a long silence, Finn, biting his thumb, broke the silence first.
What does this illustrate?
Riveria hadn't reacted yet.
"What else does that prove?" Gareth laughed heartily, saying, "It proves that this kid has even bigger secrets than we imagined!"
How could an ordinary human being possibly grow at such an astonishing rate?
Even if the Falna bestowed by the gods can make all the people of the Lower World stronger, there is still a limit.
Blessing of the Gods is not a miracle that makes people Infinity stronger, but rather a catalyst.
Its essence is to unearth the potential hidden within people in the Lower World, to materialize the potential that people cannot discover, Valis, or reach, and then to expand the human body as a container through the act of "upgrading," so that people in the Lower World can have a stronger, bigger, and broader future.
In other words, if an individual's potential is insufficient, no matter how many monsters they fight or how many adventures they take, they will not be able to acquire stronger abilities.
For example, everyone knows that the more you use a certain ability, the more proficient you become at that ability. However, some people can smoothly advance to the highest level, S, while others cannot even reach D, which is the foundation for upgrading. No matter how hard they try, they cannot improve. This is a manifestation of insufficient or exhausted personal potential.
Like the elves, as a natural magical race, they can usually raise their basic magical ability, "Demonic Power," to a level of B or A, with the best reaching the highest level of S. However, they find it difficult to improve abilities closely related to the body, such as "strength," "endurance," "dexterity," and "agility."
Riveria is a case in point. As a member of the Elf royal family, she is hailed as the strongest Mage in the city, but her "strength" and "endurance" are only E, and her "dexterity" and "agility" are only C. And that's the limit; it's very difficult to improve them any further.
Gareth, the great dwarf warrior, also has a clear ability bias. Because dwarves are a race with immense strength and thick skin, his "strength" and "endurance" are unparalleled. Few in the entire Loki Familia or even the entire Orario can compare to him. However, in terms of "Demonic Power," he is only at H.
Then there's Finn, a naturally weak Prum. His "Strength" and "Durability" are both below D, with one only E and the other only F. This shows that individual potential and racial potential have a profound impact on the growth of ability values.
If this is the case even among the less than 1,000 Lv.6 people in the city, then it goes without saying that humans, who are generally average or mediocre in all aspects, are like this.
The best example is Raul. As a human, he is already Lv.4, but he has no magic, no skills, and even his basic abilities are only at C level and cannot be improved. That's why the gods gave him the title [Superhuman].
As for Ais ----
To the outside world, Loki Familia claims that she is human, but in reality, she is far more than just a human, and therefore cannot be used as an example.
Under such circumstances, Leo was able to increase his basic ability proficiency by more than 3,000 points in ten days and meet the conditions for leveling up. This cannot be explained simply by saying "extraordinary potential".
Even if someone truly has that much potential, it would still take time to develop all those abilities, wouldn't it?
Improving one's abilities requires sufficient experience points. Even if Leo kills monsters tirelessly for ten days, how many experience points can he possibly gain?
Finn and the others are all veteran adventurers, having already reached the limit of Lv.6 and not far from Lv.7. How could they not know the ins and outs of this?
"There must be other factors involved that led to this result."
Finn looked intently at Loki with his bright eyes.
"Is it because of that inexplicable special ability, Loki?"
Finn's words made Riveria and Gareth both look at Loki.
Loki had already told them that Leo possessed a special ability that was impossible to explain.
Although this is a matter of personal privacy, Loki, as a parent, would not usually reveal it casually, not even to his own family members. However, Finn and his two companions are the leaders of their families, and it is necessary for them to understand the abilities of their members so that they can better manage and allocate them.
Therefore, Loki didn't tell anyone else about this, not even Ais, but he did tell Finn and the other two.
In that case, Finn naturally guessed what had happened immediately.
"We don't know, after all, we really can't decipher that stupid skill, we have no idea what its effect is." Loki shrugged, but then opened his divine eyes and said with a grin, "But besides that, we can't think of any other reason why that kid has such a bizarre growth rate."
God's intuition is unreliable, but it is often very convincing.
Especially on such important matters, Finn and the others trusted Loki's intuition and didn't believe she would speak carelessly.
Moreover, like Loki, they couldn't think of any other reason that could lead to such an outrageous growth rate.
"This is really something," Gareth said, both happy and amazed. "I never imagined that kid would have such terrifying potential, even more so than Ais. If those kids found out, they'd probably go crazy!"
"----Let alone within the Familia, if this got out, the entire Orario would be in an uproar." Riveria said with a complicated expression, "Such an astonishing growth rate, once word gets out, even we would have a hard time suppressing some people or gods with ulterior motives, wouldn't we?"
"Needless to say? Miss Ais caused a sensation back then, let alone this kid." Loki said with a sneer, "But trying to snatch someone from us? Forget about a door, there's no way they'll even see a window."
Loki may be a scoundrel, but if anyone dares to lay a hand on her family, she'll chop off their paws on the spot.
Even if some Lovesick Goddess came and dared to reach out, she would still chop it off without hesitation.
"It seems our clan will soon have another pillar of support." Finn smiled and asked Loki, "Has he leveled up yet?"
"No." Loki's sneer turned into a cheerful smile, and he said happily, "He feels he hasn't reached the limit of his current level yet, and says he wants to continue training."
"A wise choice." Riveria nodded in agreement. "To raise his basic abilities to this level in just ten days, his potential is definitely not exhausted yet. Putting aside everything else, his 'Demonic Power' can definitely be raised to S rank. Upgrading now would be too wasteful."
"Perhaps that kid can even reach heights that none of us have achieved," Gareth stroked his beard and chuckled. "Maybe he can accomplish the miracle of achieving S-rank in all abilities."
Even within the Loki Familia, there are very few people who possess S-rank abilities.
Finn only has an S rank in "Dexterity", Riveria Ljos Alf only has an S rank in "Demonic Power", and Gareth has an S rank in both "Strength" and "Endurance". As for the four executives, only Bete Loga Roca has an S rank in "Agility" so far, while the other three have not reached an S rank.
Even Orario's only Lv.7, in the original story, only had four abilities at S rank, and one at D rank.
If Leo can achieve S-rank in all abilities, that would be a miracle.
Finn and the others, who were enthusiastically discussing the matter, had no idea that their imaginations were simply too limited.
Soon, they will see things they have never seen before.
That would be a true miracle.
