"Louis, here I come."

The little swan is still jumping around happily, making everyone who sees her happy.

"It's good that you're here."

Louis walked over and pulled the little swan directly into the tent.

"Hey, there are a lot of people here, don't do this."

Her body subconsciously tensed up.

The relationship between the two is still a secret from the outside world. Isn't Louis asking for trouble?

If Sister Wang found out, she wouldn't want to live anymore.

So she could only refuse quietly, and whispered, "I'll listen to you when no one is around, and change the posture that I didn't agree to before."

Louis was tempted, but still pulled her into the tent.

Olivia's heartbeat quickened slightly. This is a military camp. Louis, you are crazy to do such a thing here.

—Then she froze.

Because she found Grace sitting in the tent.

Damn it.

What's going on with her? Why can't I sense any presence even though I'm so close to her?

Olivia kicked Louis lightly on the knee: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's obviously you who got it wrong."

Louis was speechless.

But he could understand it.

The little swan was silly about that, and sometimes he went too far, and all that was left in her mind was harmonious things.

But he was a little surprised. He looked at Grace, then at Olivia and said:

"You can't feel Grace's presence?"

"Well, it's just like a ghost. Didn't you see that I was scared just now?"

Louis frowned and said, "But... your strength has improved a lot, hasn't it?"

He didn't say it directly, but Olivia's face turned red.

Because she knew that he was talking about [Noble Desire], a special authority that could only be obtained by being with Louis.

She gnashed her teeth, looked at a dirty thing and said, "You said you didn't feel it, then you didn't feel it. Do you still think I would lie to you?"

She really didn't notice any movement in the tent. It was not because she thought of the yellow waste at the first moment that she lost even basic vigilance.

She is naive, but not really stupid!

Louis said strangely, "That's not what I meant. I just think it's weird. After all, Grace is like a light in the dark night to me."

Olivia's eyes widened and she whispered, "You won't betray Sister Wang, will you? Be careful or I'll cut you off."

Louis was speechless and tapped her on the forehead with a finger.

"pain."

"Don't be weird, I mean it literally. I can clearly feel Grace's presence from more than ten kilometers away. Why can't you feel it? Is there something wrong with your body?"

"There's something wrong with you."

"Don't make a fuss. This is a serious matter. I'm worried that you've lost your sense of crisis."

Louis' expression was serious.

If we say that Grace was just a nobody before, she played more of a supporting role in actual combat and her presence was not that high.

Now that she has become a legendary priest, her threat to others has skyrocketed.

To put it bluntly, even a powerful demigod should not completely let down his guard in front of any legend.

But what about Olivia?

The distance from the tent door to Grace's location was no more than ten meters. Even at such a short distance, Olivia did not notice the presence of a legendary priest.

To be honest, this situation is very dangerous.

Perhaps understanding Louis's concerns, Olivia sighed and said:

"Is it possible that the problem is between you and her?"

"Um?"

"I have managed my own strength. Although because of... you... I have acquired a higher level of strength a long time ago, don't forget that I still have a pendant."

Louis was silent.

The person Olivia was talking about was naturally the Black Swan.

After all, Black Swan once stood at the top of the professionals in the Star Continent, so it is natural that he cannot be without experience in this area.

The experience of the black swan is the experience of the little swan.

In other words, Louis's worry that she would not be able to control too much power at once, causing her perception to decline, is impossible.

so……

"It's broken, I'm the one with the problem?"

"No, and Grace."

Olivia looked at Grace strangely, seeing her sitting there, looking at the two of them with curious eyes. After a long moment, she sighed and said, "Grace, your method of hiding your aura is quite powerful."

"I didn't hide my aura." Grace whispered, "It's just that my aura was obscured by the aura of a higher level."

"Hmm?" Louis was stunned: "Where does the superior aura come from?"

Grace turned to look at him, smiled and said, "Of course it's Mr. Caesar's aura!"

Louis: ...

Olivia: ...

After a moment, the little swan turned around and looked at Louis fiercely, with an expression that said, "You said you didn't do it."

Louis spread his hands, indicating that he really did nothing.

Grace then added, “Before, the Lord of Glory descended upon Mr. Caesar and slew the soul of the Cosmic Serpent, so Mr. Caesar still has the breath of God in him.

As a favored one of God, my aura is naturally covered by the breath of God."

Louis nodded.

I understand...that's strange!

Why could the God of Glory and Justice still leave traces on him? After all, he was not the other party's favored one!

How could it be so easy to hide on him and kill the Cosmic Snake? The church has remained silent about this matter until now.

This made Louis very conflicted.

You can't say that he, a human with succubus blood, is guilty of a great crime and is the other party's illegitimate child!

You, Lord of Glory, may have killed more succubi than I have eaten! Fortunately, at present, the choice made by the other party is of great benefit to me.

He has given us too much, so just be patient.

Louis pinched his brows, turned to look at Olivia and said, "Olivia, follow me from now on, is that ok?"

"Isn't that why I came here?"

"Well, jealousy may eventually be left to you to deal with, so I'll give this to you first."

Louis handed a piece of power fragment to Olivia and said, "You absorb this, and first see what I stripped from him."

"This is... a fragment of the Envious Authority? How did you get it?"

"I forcibly ripped it out of Jealous' body the last time I caught him."

"No, no, no... I mean, how could you do it? When did it become so easy to separate the power of sin?"

Louis thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how to describe this feeling. When I was promoted to the legendary level, it was as if I automatically understood how to strip the authority from the host of the sin."

"A natural talent?"

"Okay." Olivia rubbed her brows in confusion, "So this is the part of the authority you stripped from Envy?"

Louis said honestly, “More than that.”

Olivia raised her voice again: "More than that?"

"Well, I stripped all the remaining wrathful authority out of him."

“…”

Olivia didn't know what to say.

This guy Louis, what he does is really more surprising each time.

But I have to say, this is a good thing.

"Louis, you've done a great job." Olivia couldn't help but sigh, "Without the blessing of the power of wrath, jealousy would still be strong, but it wouldn't be so outrageous."

Strictly speaking, the combination of jealousy + rage does not result in a pure strength improvement of 1+1=2.

1.5-1.7 is good enough.

In the confrontation between top powerhouses, every additional percentage point will significantly increase the suppressive force.

He is very jealous, but he has lost the power of rage, and Louis has castrated some of his power, so his strength has declined significantly.

After realizing this, Olivia crushed the fragments of jealous authority she had taken from Louis.

In an instant, with a crisp sound like something being peeled off and shattered, a breath containing the origin of the abyss was madly devoured by the power of laziness.

Louis quietly guarded the little swan until she woke up, then he went forward to support her.

"Olivia, are you okay?"

"No, it's okay, let go, there are people watching us."

Olivia said shyly.

Grace on the side just stared at it with her eyes wide open, with a big hint of doubt flashing in her small eyes.

Then Olivia couldn't even lift her head.

Grace disagreed and said:

"Aren't you going to continue?"

That tone always gives off a feeling of not wanting to get involved and wanting to be the first to watch the fun.

Louis didn't know what to say, he just said speechlessly:

"Why do you seem to be looking forward to something happening?"

"It was a little bitter before." Grace shook her head and said, "After all, Mr. Caesar is the best person I have ever met."

Louis shook his head and said, "It's just that you have met too few people before. There are many people in this world who are malicious towards you, but there are also many who are kind to you."

Grace didn't say anything, but the smile on her face became clearer.

Olivia didn't pay much attention to the verbal exchange between the two. She just sat there with a strange look on her face, feeling the new power spreading through her body.

Louis asked curiously, "How come you gained the power of jealousy?"

"How should I describe it?" Olivia showed some distress on her face, "This jealous power feels a bit outrageous."

"What do you mean?" Louis became curious.

Olivia opened her mouth slightly, stammered for a long time, and then said nothing.

Louis was anxious: "Speak!"

"The ability you stripped away is called the Ring of Jealousy."

“What’s the effect?”

"Effect, effect..." Olivia hesitated for a moment and said, "There are two effects. When you feel strong jealousy towards someone, you can quickly learn and imitate the other person's strength."

"Why does it feel a bit like [Greedy Curiosity]?"

Louis' [Greedy Curiosity] has a similar passive ability.

However, it is obvious that activating the passive effect of [Ring of Jealousy] is more troublesome than expected.

After all, compared to being greedy for something, being jealous of someone is not an easy thing.

Just like Cialdini, when Louis was sparring with him, he wanted to learn his way of heaven first, so his greed and desire for knowledge took over.

But if you expect Louis to be jealous of Cialdini, that would be putting him in a difficult position.

After all, Louis has a fiancée, a sister-in-law, a substitute for his sister-in-law, and even a wild female leader.

In terms of strength, his actual combat power is also above that of Cialdini.

But to be honest, there are many things worth learning from the knife master.

The effect of [Ring of Jealousy] is a bit too limited.

There may be differences in authority and ability, but there will not be a significant gap.

It's just a matter of adaptability.

So, is the limitation of [Ring of Jealousy] so great because there is a second effect to complete it? Thinking of this, Louis turned back to look at Olivia again.

Olivia's face flushed slightly, and she said hesitantly, "When I'm extremely jealous of something but can't get it completely, my strength will increase in the same proportion."

Louis: ??? Good, good guy.

There is something about this jealous power.

It’s just that the object of jealousy is very problematic.

After hesitating for a moment, Louis leaned into Olivia's ear and said, "What percentage of blessing does your authority provide you?"

Olivia gritted her teeth and said, "66.66%."

Louis nodded and said, "That's right, your sister and Black Swan both have a share."

"Who, who wants you!"

The little swan was like a frightened bird.

Who could have thought that an authority could expose the little secret in her heart.

Louis turned his head and looked at Grace and said, "Grace, we'll talk about some details tomorrow. I have something to tell her today."

"Okay, Mr. Caesar, I'll leave first then."

Grace did not want to stay here any longer and turned around and left the tent.

Olivia frowned and looked at Grace and said, "Why is she... a little different from before?"

Louis sighed and said, "Did you figure it out? Grace is indeed a little strange now."

Olivia said thoughtfully, "It's very strange. She obviously hasn't let you go, but her attitude towards you seems to have turned from one extreme to another."

Louis was surprised and asked, "She really hasn't let it go, but how is it extreme?"

Olivia smiled and said, "Louis, your world doesn't believe in God very much, at least the people around you don't believe in God very much."

Louis nodded and said, "We choose to believe in God or not based on whether God is useful or not."

"What a flexible bottom line. The gods in your world must be having a hard time, right?"

"Indeed, all the useless ones have gone away."

"So you probably rarely come into contact with people with devout beliefs. Now the way Grace looks at you is like a believer looking at a god for whom he is willing to give everything."

"Um?"

Louis frowned.

This description is so strange.

He is not a god and has never done anything. Why should we believe in him as if he were a god?

Seeing that Louis didn’t understand, Olivia smiled and said, “Louis, when the strong are willing to take the initiative to take responsibility for the weak, they may not understand, but they are willing to believe you.

My father always said that he was not a god, but in the empire, especially among the members of the legion, he was the only god of the empire. "
