The Sunset Lord was very satisfied, feeling as if every pore on her body had opened up, leaving her feeling exceptionally refreshed. She hadn't misjudged him after all; Logo was still the same Logo, unchanged despite the growth in power and influence.

Having lived for thousands of years and ruling over the vast Sunset Jungle, although he mostly acts as a hands-off leader, the Sunset Lord still has a thorough understanding of the power structure and operating logic of a major force.

She was certainly aware of the significance of an institution like the secretariat.

To put it simply, the secretariat is essentially an agency that carries out the leader's will, while the secretary-general is similar to the leader's personal chief steward.

As everyone knows, even a minor official is subject to the prime minister's authority; power has always been inextricably linked to personnel matters.

The level of power a position carries is influenced by many factors, but the most crucial and direct one is undoubtedly how well one maintains a relationship with those above them.

In many countries, especially those with a strong centralized system, the unofficial second-in-command is often the top leader's close confidant, rather than the publicly known number two leader.

Ultimately, the closer one is to the leader, the more one can share in the leader's authority.

This means that the higher the leader's personal authority, the greater the power of the personal steward.

Logo, the undisputed future supreme leader of the An Alliance, already has countless people cheering for him even before he has taken office, which shows how high his prestige is.

Under such circumstances, once Logo reaches the summit, the power he will wield will inevitably far exceed that of the Sunset Lord himself, and one can imagine how much power his personal steward, Secretary-General Balielunduo, will wield.

As his staunch confidant, Balielunduo's power was essentially equivalent to his own.

Logo's arrangements for Balielunduo were essentially a political guarantee to the Sunset Lord.

While Logo might have intended to win people over and solidify his persona, the Sunset Lord no longer cared.

Feeling the Sunset Lord's changing emotions on his shoulder, and hearing his even snoring, Logo understood that the transfer of supreme power had, in fact, been completed at this moment.

The subsequent formalities were merely a formality.

Power, in essence, is nothing more than the will of the people!

With a slight smile on his lips and in a similarly good mood, Logo led the Sunset Lord into the Nirvana Tower and presented the generous gift he had prepared in advance.

These are three and Demigod.

The "Shadow Cloak" is primarily used for stealth and invisibility, allowing one to blend into all dark and shadowy corners and greatly reduce their presence.

The "Dark Annihilation Claw Gauntlets" incorporates the dark attribute "Space-Rending Stone," making it extremely powerful. It can unleash a super-powerful attack by consuming durability. The claw blades possess high cutting power, high sharpness, high penetration, and high Armor Break properties, resulting in astonishing lethality.

The "Dark Source Heart Core" is the most precious of the three Demigod. Its purpose is to save lives. It is usually stored in the heart. When its owner suffers a fatal attack, it will temporarily shatter, transforming into a double shield protecting both the soul and the body. It also has a spatial teleportation effect, which can break through spatial confinement with a strength lower than the Tier Eighteen, increasing the margin for error in assassinations.

The three and Demigod are a set; when combined, they form a set effect called "Dark Night Walker," which increases dark attribute affinity, attack power, and perception—a rather considerable effect.

Looking at the "Dark Night Walker" outfit in front of her, Sunset Lord was stunned for a moment, then her cat-like eyes seemed to be filled with stars. Judging from this, it was probably no problem for Logo to pick her up and pet her as much as he wanted.

"Is this for me?" the Sunset Lord asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Of course." Logo nodded.

"But... wouldn't this be a bit too valuable..." The Sunset Lord hesitated. Three Rare- quality Demigod, and a rare set at that. Although they couldn't compare to Legend Demigod, their value was still about 60-70% of the latter. In the Elven Plane, this would definitely be an extremely valuable gift.

Otherwise, the Sunset Lord, a High-Rank Demigod, would not have reacted in this way.

Because of its preciousness, the Sunset Lord was hesitant to accept it. It wasn't that she was afraid Logo would cheat her, but rather that she felt embarrassed to accept something for nothing.

However, judging from how she practically clung to him and wouldn't let go, the extent of her embarrassment is a matter of opinion.

Finally, after Logo's earnest persuasion, the Sunset Lord had no choice but to reluctantly accept the assassination set, Demigod called "Dark Night Walker."

For Logo, Legend Demigod require either a guaranteed drop or a stroke of luck, while Rare Demigod only involve materials and costs, and aren't particularly rare. Isn't crafting Rare Demigod something anyone can do?

Furthermore, assassination materials are not as hard to find as Abyss materials. With his current status and the resources he controls, he can easily collect them. He then tailor-made the Dark Night Walker Set, and the total cost, excluding labor, did not even exceed 10,000 Star Wheel.

In Logo's view, using this ten thousand Star Wheel to completely eliminate all potential hidden dangers and barriers between the person and the cat was well worth it.

Besides... now that the Dark Night Walker set is in the hands of the Sunset Lord, if Logo needs anything, he can just give a shout, and that cat, who's been paid for, can't possibly refuse, right?

Doesn't this mean that we've strengthened ourselves?

After a few rounds, it's practically like getting something for free; they've made a fortune!

After putting away the Dark Night Walker, Sunset Lord felt dizzy and disoriented. The Logo before him radiated a dazzling golden light, and he found him pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at him.

Afterwards, Logo talked to her about the An Alliance's currency reform. The Sunset Lord only nodded and didn't say a word of objection. Judging from her appearance, she was probably going to be sold at the Meow Market and would even help Logo count the money.

Taking money to do things is the consistent style of us cats.

The Sunset Lord directly rejected Logo's suggestion that she remain the chairperson of the An Alliance.

In return for her kindness, the Sunset Lord, not wanting Logo to exercise power illegitimately, announced half a month later that due to a worsening of an old injury, she was unable to devote the energy to managing the affairs of the An Alliance and chose to step down, recommending Logo, as the Minister of Finance, to succeed her.

Three days after the Sunset Lord's statement, Logo expressed his gratitude and publicly announced his decision to participate in the Alliance's provisional election conference.

And so, after completing the process, in 1686 of the Gendaya Royal Court, Logo ascended to the throne of the An Alliance Chairman, becoming the supreme leader of this newly formed imperial power and leaping to the pinnacle of power on the Planet Oklo.
