Chapter 73 Part 3: The Retainer Clan Contract

"It's a perfect, closed loop!"

Bai Luo asked, "What about the last one? What's the ability of the World Avatar?"

"Lord Creator."

As Bai Luo's words fell, a beautiful figure appeared before him, bearing the exact likeness of Violet Evergarden from his memories.

"Thanks to the magicules you have bestowed upon me, I am able to accompany you in this form."

"Additionally, this body can return its magicules to you."

At this point, Violet, perhaps fearing Bai Luo wouldn't understand, explained, "Returning the magicules does not mean I will devolve."

"After the magicules are returned, this body will collapse."

"But this is only temporary," Violet said. "With the passage of time, I can absorb magicules from the Cardinal World until this body reaches its maximum storage limit."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Bai Luo felt a strange sense of déjà vu. "Isn't this just like..."

"Yes, just like the Storm Dragon within Rimuru's body."

As the World Spirit born from Bai Luo's origin, Violet possessed all the knowledge her creator had, which naturally included the anime and novels Bai Luo had seen.

"You can consider this portion of magicules as a recoverable reserve."

Violet added, "It will take roughly half a month to replenish from 0 to 200,000."

"In other words..."

"Yes."

Violet stated, "This means that every month, you can receive an additional 200,000 magicules from me."

"..."

Just from the information Violet revealed, Bai Luo could think of several ways to use this batch of magicules. For example, using them for naming monsters. Or, in battle, having Violet fuse with him, combining their magicules for use.

"Is 200,000 the limit?"

"No."

Violet shook her head slightly. "Both the upper limit and the recovery speed are only for the current stage."

"Limited by my strength, my World Avatar cannot yet compare to the infinite magicules of a Dragonkind."

The magicule recovery speed of Dragonkind in the Cardinal World was truly bug-like. In the original timeline, Rimuru had named 200,000 Orcs at once and only needed a short rest to return to his peak. That was 200,000—even if the dilution ratio between high-tier and low-tier magicules was substantial, it would be impossible to complete the naming of 200,000 Orcs. To put it bluntly, even if each Orc only consumed 1,000 magicules, that would still be a massive expenditure of 200 million!

What did 200 million magicules mean?

The late-stage Rimuru, having fused with two Dragonkind, had barely reached that level. How could a mere Demon Lord Seed-level Rimuru possibly possess so many magicules? Other than the Storm Dragon, Bai Luo could think of no other explanation.

"The Slime King has the Storm Dragon, and I have Violet!"

Although they couldn't compare for now, Violet would continue to grow. This was the true strength of the World Avatar ability.

"Will consuming these magicules have any negative impact on you, Violet?"

"It will not."

Violet wouldn't fall into deep sleep just because she exhausted 200,000 magicules; at most, she would lose the ability to manifest her avatar. In any case, she could fully recover in half a month at most.

"In fact, as long as the magicules consumed each time do not exceed half, the avatar can function normally."

"That's good."

Bai Luo naturally hoped that Violet could live with him like a real person. If he used up her magicules every time she appeared, wouldn't Violet be unable to form a body forever? Bai Luo would never do such a thing. Freeloading off a woman was already shameful enough; there was no need to be so disgraceful. What was the difference between that and a scumbag who stayed at home and took his wife's income every month?

"These magicules must be used for naming."

Bai Luo was not someone who liked to do losing business. Naming was an investment. There was meaning in naming only if there was profit to be made.

……

"The stats are getting more and more impressive."

Bai Luo turned his attention to the magicule column: "205,000 magicules."

"Once magicules exceed 200,000, one can obtain the title of Demon Lord Seed."

"In the original work, Clayman, Karion, and Queen Frey were basically between 300,000 and 400,000."

In other words, the current Bai Luo already possessed the strength to rival the bottom three of the Ten Great Demon Lords.

"And that's not even counting the Direwolf tribe."

Bai Luo had no intention of letting these Direwolves go. Direwolves had the characteristic of 'the whole is the individual,' meaning that naming one was equivalent to naming all of them simultaneously. Of course, this type of naming was definitely different from normal individual naming. The magicule consumption alone was much less than normal naming.

It must be explained here—the difference between Bai Luo's new Unique Skill, 'All Spirits Return to One,' and 'Leader.'

All Spirits Return to One did not increase the percentage of magicules that could be provided by followers of different classes. Followers provided 1-3%, Named Monsters 15%, and Dependents 50%. The original rates remained the same and did not change due to the skill upgrade.

However, between the vastly different tiers of Named Monsters and Dependents, All Spirits Return to One provided a new class.

The Retainer Clan!

Positioned between a Named Monster and a Dependent, they could provide Bai Luo with a feedback of 30% of their total magicules. The targets for the Retainer Clan needed to be selected and bound by Bai Luo himself.
