In truth, Garbage God had only been playing a joke on Aiou.
The humanoid formed from the orb of light had originally said, "Human Aiou, through persuasion and sacrifice, you have brought a Malignant Spirit to complete enlightenment, accomplishing a feat no one throughout history has ever achieved. You are awarded the wondrous item [Evolution Badge]."
In other words, Garbage God had not evolved from the Malignant Spirit Trash King into the Divine Spirit Garbage God because he had been moved, but through "complete enlightenment."
All one could say was that Aiou had been a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.
With a different Malignant Spirit, this trick might not have worked.
Different Malignant Spirits had completely different ways of thinking, and the resentment in their hearts came in all varieties. The same method would have entirely different effects on different Malignant Spirits.
So this was not something that could be replicated.
After the laughter and joking, everyone continued watching their surroundings, while Aiou sat cross-legged on the grass and examined the so-called [Evolution Badge].
The Evolution Badge was inside his consciousness space. It could be called illusory, yet it could also be called real. When he willed it out of his consciousness space, a hexagonal badge immediately appeared in his palm.
At the same time, the badge's attributes appeared before Aiou.
----- Evolution Badge Durability: 10/10 Wondrous attribute: [Evolution] Passive: Activated by wearing the badge. Grants evolution force. -----
Aiou thought for a moment, then pinned the badge to his chest. The instant he activated it, the badge slipped into his body, and he gained an extremely, extremely special power.
He looked at a blade of grass on the ground. A ball of green light suddenly appeared on his fingertip, no bigger than a fish's eye.
