Mino, who had been lying on Helant's chest, said dejectedly, "Since World Items are ineffective against True Dragon Lords, does that mean the forgery plan has failed?"
Mino puffed out her soft cheeks, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. Damn Dragon Race, why are they so hard to nerf?
Helant pinched Mino, who looked like a little hamster, and said gently, "It's not quite a failure. They just have high resistance; it's not that they completely ignore them. I still have a way."
Helant placed Mino on the ground and walked toward Herox.
Momonga followed curiously. He wanted to see how Helant intended to overcome the resistance of Wild Magic against World Items.
As Helant walked, a majestic vitality suddenly radiated from his body.
He forcibly gathered this vitality into his hand, forming a verdant orb of light.
"One of my special classes, [Eternal Life Sustenance], provides me with inexhaustible vitality. At the same time, I can use this vitality to provide positive enhancements to any unit."
Helant's original intention for choosing this class from the World Tree source code was its setting of having inexhaustible vitality.
Although it could only serve as a slightly stronger support class in the game, in the New World, once the setting became reality, it provided him with an extremely terrifying bonus.
The majestic vitality within the verdant orb caused Momonga an instinctive revulsion. He took two steps back, momentarily confused about what Helant was planning to do.
"Albedo, use [Downfall of Castle and Country] on the orb in my hand." Helant held the orb up with one hand and presented it to Albedo.
Use Downfall of Castle and Country on a mindless orb of light?!
Momonga was stunned. The orb was not even a living being. What was the point of using mind control?
However, despite his confusion, he decided to keep watching.
Albedo executed Helant's command without question, releasing a dragon shadow from Downfall of Castle and Country that merged into the verdant orb.
For a moment, a strange fluctuation of will came from the verdant orb. Upon finding that the target had no self-awareness, it was about to dissipate.
At that moment, Helant drew five hundred Faith Power from the Faith Pool and poured it all into the verdant orb, forcibly condensing and fixing the dragon shadow's will from Downfall of Castle and Country within it.
Momonga clicked his tongue in wonder at this scene.
"Faith Power really is a versatile energy. Not only can it strengthen oneself, but it can also do some unexpected things."
"Continue to resist with the power of Wild Magic," Helant instructed Herox before slowly pressing the verdant orb into his body.
As the majestic vitality was poured into his body, Herox first felt a sense of warmth, as if his entire body were submerged in a hot spring.
Then, a strange will-modifying power emerged from the vitality. During the enhancement process of the vitality, it actually bypassed the World Guardian trait and even deceived the soul that had been strengthened by Wild Magic.
It drove straight in, imprinting Albedo's figure into his mind with overbearing rule-based power.
Be loyal to her!
At this moment, Herox did not feel there was anything wrong with placing Albedo on the same level as Helant.
He was still himself, except he now had one more person to whom he owed absolute loyalty.
Helant looked back at Albedo. "Did it succeed?"
"Father, I have indeed been controlled," Herox answered calmly on Albedo's behalf.
"That… worked!?" Momonga found it hard to believe. By simply wrapping it in a layer of vitality, he had actually succeeded in controlling him?
"Herox, stand up." Albedo also clearly sensed a mental connection between herself and Herox through Downfall of Castle and Country.
"Yes, Albedo."
Herox stood straight up, his three-meter height like a small tower.
Seeing this, Helant nodded in satisfaction. The moment Albedo gave the order, he clearly perceived that the will in Herox had indeed been successfully modified.
"Alright, release the control."
Albedo obediently released her influence over Herox's will.
Momonga could not help but ask, "Helant-san, how was this achieved?"
Momonga felt like his brain capacity was reaching its limit. Wasn't Herox supposed to resist the influence of World Items? How was he suddenly controlled?
Looking at the confused Momonga, a smile appeared on Helant's face as he explained, "The energy from [Eternal Life Sustenance] consists almost entirely of positive buffs, used only for recovery and enhancement. I was just thinking that if I used Faith Power to hide the will-modifying power, which is a debuff, inside it, I might be able to trick the defense judgment of [World Guardian]."
Judging by the results, this tactic was feasible.
Momonga realized the truth, and his admiration for Helant grew even deeper.
Helant-san is truly reliable. There's always a way when it comes to him.
Momonga looked at Helant. Now that the verification was complete, the formal forging of the World Item would begin.
Sure enough, Mino had at some point arranged for the Sacred Demons to transport the processed materials into the temple.
Looking at the meticulously and perfectly processed materials, Helant praised Mino, "Remember to give them some substantial rewards."
Mino had always been the one managing the Sacred Demons. Judging from the technique and quality of the material processing, she had trained them quite well.
Mino's watery eyes blinked, and her thin, tender red lips curled up, revealing her white canine teeth. "They have rewards… but do I get one too?"
Helant's reflection was in her eyes. That was the reward she wanted.
In response, Helant affectionately pinched her soft face. "The reward will certainly not be lacking. Once I finish this 'World Item,' anything goes."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Mino obediently retreated to Albedo's side, tilting her head triumphantly.
At this moment, she felt a certain level of confidence when facing Albedo's "World Cup."
Albedo felt a secret sense of helplessness at the low-level player's smugness. I hope you can still laugh tonight. You poor mage class, don't come crying to me for help then.
As if thinking of something wonderful, Albedo's beautiful eyes shimmered as she focused entirely on Helant, who was now intently processing the materials.
There was a saying that a man was at his most handsome when he was focused.
Albedo felt that this was absolutely true.
Helant meticulously controlled all the materials to float up, his magic surging as he continuously shaped and purified them in his hands.
In the process, his white hair fluttered, his face was handsome, and his elegant and swift movements captured the heart of a succubus.
