Chapter 327: 327
After killing the Golden Hippo, the Witch Slaves once again collected the loot and presented it to Eva . After that, the whole group temporarily withdrew from this Field Zone, taking the lightspeed transport that was Luxia back to the Aether Hall .
Here, Eva brought the three women to the Anomaly Realm in the depths of the Aether Hall . This area was its own world that was connected to the outside, but the outside was not connected to it .
In other words, it could draw energy and whatever else was needed from the outside, but nothing outside could easily peer or detect what was happening within .
"You can freely Rank up now . I'll watch over your children in the meantime . " Eva said as she took Rosella and Loki in one arm each . As for Rila, she skipped over to Eva and held onto her leg with a smile .
Hikari, Roma, and Zaine shared a look and nodded . They took deep breaths as they released their suppressed advancements, letting the change wash over them .
Immediately, not just torrents, but whole tsunamis of Worldly Energy was drawn from Vita City-State into their bodies as they were baptized by it . The amount of Worldly Energy drawn was directly equivalent to the State of Being and experience threshold an NPC had to pay .
With the three women having more than 1,000% - and Hikari even at 2,000% - one could just imagine . This was why Eva did not allow them to do this in the wild, as there would definitely not be enough Worldly Energy for them .
The only place on Cario Continent with 100% Worldly Energy concentration was Vita City-State, which was just one of the reasons why it was so intensely sought after .
Yet even with this, the 100% almost instantly dropped to 75%, and this was just the initial suction from these three! It was clear that had Eva not been wise enough to return, their Rank up would have been interrupted, causing no small trouble for them .
And the Worldly Energy concentration kept dropping too! From 75% to 73%, then to 71%, to 69% and lower . The greenish-blue energy continued to pour into their bodies like they were black holes .
At least, Zaine and Roma's absorption rate was understandable . Hikari though, was the real reason why Worldly Energy was disappearing, like a beast had taken a giant bite of the world around it .
Vitae appeared in the Anomaly Realm and had a distressed look . It wasn't as bad as when the kids were born, as those little beasts had sucked in Aetheric Energy, not mere Worldly Energy .
Eva turned to Vitae and asked: "Will there be enough energy for them?"
Vitae nodded . "Even if they kept this up for a week, there would be enough . All the Aether Hall has to do is convert some of the ambient Aetheric Energy down . "
"As the current concentration is 25%, just 1% of it converted down would yield 1000% Worldly Energy . So the madams are free to absorb as they please . "
Vitae shook his head . "It is my duty and my joy . If you don't mind Empress, I shall take my leave . "
Eva waved her hand amiably as the Aetheric Lifeform disappeared, retraining her focus onto the three mothers . She noticed that their absorption rate had not died down .
In fact, it was like they had heard Vitae's words, reassuring them that they wouldn't cause Draco or his City-State any problems, so they opened the tap and let the wave rush in .
As such, their rates of suction rather increased by about 50%, startling Eva slightly . She realized she had greatly underestimated the potential of these three women .
Even if she got a Divine Class, they would be no weaker than her at the same Rank . What was truly fearsome was that they were all romantically involved with the same man, and utterly devoted to him as well .
If all four of them, She, Hikari, Roma, and Zaine were to team up with Draco at their prime, they could easily fight Rank 3 monsters and even challenge Rank 4 enemies to a strong extent .
To Eva, this was an absolutely impossible and bizarre concept . When she had reached Rank 4 Shadow Assassin Empress in the previous timeline, there was no way for an enemy at Rank 2 - or five of them - to even stand in her presence for long, much less fight her .
Yet in this timeline, she would be doing the same to someone else in the future . Still though, all of this depended on just how big the changes these three women would undergo by the time their Rank up was complete .
Loki, Rosella, and Rila watched all of this with incredibly fascinated expressions . The amount of energy swirling about here was so thick that it was visible, so the amazing and ambient lights wowed the three kids .
It was like watching a more active version of the aurora borealis . At such a tender age, it was of course natural their little minds would be completely enraptured by such a thing .
Soon, the rampant absorption slowed down . The first to show this sign was Zaine, as the amount she took in became lower and lower until it was just a steady trickle .
Next was Roma after 5 minutes and Hikari after a whole 30 minutes . Once they reach this stage, their auras began to undergo subtle changes .
Zaine's body flashed with a bright blue outline, slight sparks shooting out from her body of the same color . This surprised Eva, as she assumed Zaine was a purely mental magic caster .
However, it seemed that the succubus had awoken a lightning element affinity of sorts . That was certainly interesting to note, so Eva kept that in mind .
Next was Roma, as her body flashed with a dark green glow . Her hair rose up on its own, and this time, it began to move about like it was alive, biting and snapping at the air .
Along with that, the single green gem she had on her chest was absorbed into her body and emerged on her shoulder as two separate gems . This made Eva and Rila's eyes sharpen .
Both of them knew that these Ultima Sunt gems were extremely special and definitely had a deeper as well as more important use, but they were unable to discover anything .
