Chapter 46: The Influx of Capital (Part 2)
The magicules in the air begin to coalesce. The souls Rimuru harvested are being woven back into the bodies of the fallen. One by one, the monsters of Tempest begin to sit up. Shion opens her eyes, her magicule signature not just restored, but enhanced by the "Gift."
Notice. The Kijin have undergone a secondary evolution. Their 'Existence Value' has doubled. Analysis: Soul Capacity has stabilized at 22% due to hardware expansion. Suggestion: The Master-Subordinate link [Food Chain] is currently broadcasting a massive stream of 'Gift' data from the individual 'Raphael'.
Raphael? The AI got a name? Great, now I have to worry about Azathoth getting a personality. But don't let that data go to waste. If the 'Lord of Wisdom' is giving out free samples, I want a full acquisition.
