Thus, Rin effectively brought back two True Demon Lord-qualified subordinates from the Type-Moon World.
Adding Ogerpon and Snow Empress, a total of four strong individuals who can achieve Demon Lord Seed without Rin's help.
You mean Ice Empress, and Benimaru and Shion from the original work?
They are different.
Benimaru and Shion relied on Rimuru's bestowal, which had nothing to do with their own aptitudes.
As for Ice Empress, the only way for her to achieve Demon Lord Seed is to create slaughter.
According to the environment of the Cardinal World,
If Ice Empress really did that, she would probably be subjugated before she even became one.
This is why Rin prefers farming-type skills.
Ogerpon, fights but doesn't kill, gets stronger when facing stronger opponents.
Snow Empress, natural expansion, benefits all living beings.
Artoria, spreads renown, commands Holy Spirits.
Justeaze, soul purification, silent and unnoticed.
Develop quietly, constantly growing stronger without harming others, and finally making a big splash.
This is the favored child of the Cardinal World, the only answer to the current version.
"Then, what about Edict of Heaven?"
After confirming Justeaze's potential, Rin was happy, but he didn't forget the effect of this strange Unique Skill.
"Edict of Heaven allows me to establish connections with all individuals through your Soul Corridor, Rin."
Justeaze: "Under this connection, I can borrow their power."
"Borrow?"
Rin: "Does it require consent?"
"Yes."
With consent, Justeaze can borrow the power of her other companions through the Soul Corridor.
"No, isn't there a limit? What is the upper limit of this skill?" Rin asked.
"There is no upper limit."
"No…"
Rin was truly shocked. "You mean, as long as Snow Empress is willing, you can unleash her Three Ultimate Techniques?"
"To be precise, it's not me unleashing it, but me directly summoning Snow Empress's attack."
The borrowing ability of Edict of Heaven is more like initiating a video call with a companion and then having them help with a proxy attack.
Except this proxy attack doesn't require the person to appear in person.
"However, this Unique Skill can only exert its proper effect when under Rin's command."
Without Rin, if it were just Justeaze alone.
This Unique Skill would truly be useless.
The establishment of the Soul Corridor is a symbol of the bond between named monsters and their namer.
"If it were just me, I could only borrow from the monsters I've given names to."
"Unless I accept the naming of other monsters and submit to them."
Justeaze: "Otherwise, Edict of Heaven cannot grant me power beyond my own."
Her subordinate monsters could not be stronger than her.
If she relied on herself, the Edict of Heaven skill would be equivalent to nothing.
Unlike now.
Justeaze is part of Rin's Soul Corridor.
She can send a request for help to any companion through the Soul Corridor.
There are no restrictions, as long as the other party agrees.
Even Rin can use Justeaze to remotely kill powerful enemies.
"Furthermore, Edict of Heaven can also establish a transit station in the soul world."
After explaining the effect of Edict of Heaven on herself, Justeaze proposed another use for this Unique Skill.
"Transit station?"
Another brand new concept, Rin asked: "What's it for?"
"Hmm…"
Justeaze pondered for a moment, then found a good analogy from the memories Rin gave her: "It's like the Adventurers Guild you joined in the Konosuba World!"
Yes, the Adventurers Guild.
Edict of Heaven will establish a soul-level guild.
All subordinates, dependents, named monsters, and followers belonging to Rin can enter it.
They can submit their wishes like posting quests.
"Others can see these quests and then contact the quest giver through me."
The connection here is not just as simple as making a phone call.
It's being able to, like Justeaze, allow the weaker party to remotely borrow the power of a superior.
"However, to accept a quest, certain requirements must first be met."
"There are no thresholds for quest givers, anyone can post a quest," Justeaze said.
"As for adventurers, they must at least possess the strength of an A-rank monster."
It's like upper and lower levels.
Lower levels cannot interact with each other.
Only superiors can provide help to subordinates.
"This ability…"
Rin found that this Unique Skill gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.
It seemed he had seen a similar ability somewhere before.
"Wait a minute, let me sort this out."
"Let's make a hypothesis."
Rin: "Suppose Gobta is fighting an A-Rank monster. He can't defeat his opponent, so he posts a request in the Soul Guild."
"At this point, I see Gobta's request. Can I help him fight the monster?"
"Theoretically, yes."
Justeaze shook her head and said, "But in practice, there are definitely some limitations."
"I don't know who the Gobta you mentioned is."
"But if he's just an ordinary Goblin, he can't bear your overly immense power."
Based on Justeaze's description, Rin largely understood the limitations of this ability.
On this point, Rin was no different from other A-Rank Demon Lord Seeds.
If Gobta's limit was the full force of an A-Rank monster's attack,
then even if Rin personally intervened, he could still only provide the destructive power of an A-Rank monster.
"How does this sound a bit like the relationship between gods and believers in DND?"
If Rin was likened to a god, and his followers were believers,
Believers pray to their gods for help.
And so, the god noticed the other party.
"So…"
Rin thought of a word: "Divine Art?"
That's right, it's Divine Art!
Followers are believers, the Soul Corridor is the faith network, and Justeaze's Edict of Heaven is the central hub of faith.
"And the cost of casting Divine Art is the consumption of Spiritual Power."
Or, the maximum power that believers can withstand through the Soul Corridor.
"Spiritual Power…"
Listening to the word Rin spoke, Justeaze realized that it seemed to be exactly that.
Every follower who joins the Edict of Heaven network must pay a certain amount of remuneration to commission others.
The remuneration here is actually soul energy.
