Chapter 91 · Volume 1

A Smooth Advancement

Law Freya, who was still temporarily an ordinary person, was summoned once again. She picked up the Rank One Law potion on the cabinet and drank it down.
She smacked her lips and murmured, “Why does it feel like drinking sweet water?”
She waited for a while, but Law Freya still didn't feel anything strange. She remembered how her entire body felt like it was on fire when she first drank the War potion. When she first drank the Earth potion, it felt as if the entire world had become clearer. When she first drank the Mind potion, she felt as if she were growing a brain, her head swelling.
But this time, there was none of that. After drinking the Law potion, Law Freya didn't have the slightest strange sensation. It wasn't until she suddenly looked at her main body and noticed a massive number of weaknesses on her that she realized. She now had at least five different ways to attack her main body and catch her completely off guard.
Only then did Law Freya realize that she had passively used the 【Weakness Insight】 ability. She was already an extraordinary now, but wasn't this process a bit too smooth and seamless?
In truth, even without Life Freya's help to inspect her, Law Freya was certain that this Rank One potion had most likely dissolved instantly upon entering her mouth. Still, to be safe, she decided to have Life Freya take a look.
In Auxerre, Life Freya told Archbishop Pantheon that she needed to leave for a while and might not return for some time. Pantheon had long since grown accustomed to this. After all, the Saintess would disappear like this every once in a while.
Once Life Freya reached a secluded spot, Freya's main body in the capital recalled her into the system and then released her, effectively "summoning" Life Freya over.
After using her Heart Perception ability to sense Law Freya's condition, it was exactly as expected—the potion was completely digested. Moreover, the scale of this advanced digestion was incredibly exaggerated, even higher than that of War Freya and Life Freya. A conservative estimate suggested she could progress all the way to Rank Six without any obstacles.
Of course, she still had to prepare the advancement rituals, but at least she didn't have to worry about digesting the potions.
“Is it really that exaggerated...?”
Law Freya murmured. Amidst her shock, she drank the second bottle of potion as well.
Just like before, there were no outward symptoms. Law Freya seamlessly became a Rank Two extraordinary. However, this time Life Freya observed the entire process from the side. She could clearly see that Law Freya's compatibility with the Law potion was incredibly high. Or, more accurately, Freya herself had an extremely high compatibility with this pathway.
The potion barely modified her body at all. Rather, Freya's body was already naturally suited to it. After drinking the potion, these extraordinary abilities had simply returned to their rightful places.
Furthermore, while physical changes like hair color alterations theoretically only started appearing at Rank Four, the tips of Rank Two Law Freya's hair were already showing faint signs of turning white.
As for the Rank Two abilities of the Law Pathway, Law Freya sensed them. They were 【Weapon Mastery】 and 【Physical Enhancement】—two very simple and unpretentious abilities.
The former allowed Law Freya to proficiently use most weapons, such as sabers, spears, swords, and halberds. While not at a master level of proficiency, it was at least comparable to someone who had undergone years of training, wielding them as extensions of her own limbs.
On top of that, Law Freya discovered that this weapon proficiency actually included firearms as well—pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, and so on, even extending to the operation of artillery.
The second ability, 【Physical Enhancement】, went without saying. It increased her strength and speed. The degree of enhancement was roughly equivalent to Rank One of the War Pathway. At first glance, this seemed like a bit of a loss, didn't it? Getting another pathway's Rank One ability only at Rank Two.
However, the Rank One abilities of the War Pathway were Strength Enhancement and Speed Enhancement, which were two separate abilities. The Law Pathway's single ability covered both of them, so it wasn't really a loss after all.
Law Freya looked down at her hands, clenching and releasing her fists to feel the power currently within her body. How should she put it? It felt as though simply reaching Rank Two of the Law Pathway guaranteed she would become a top-tier Soldier King. Her combat capability was actually quite high.
Even if they were both at Rank Two, she should be able to go toe-to-toe with a pure combat pathway like the War Pathway.
Once she was done investigating, Freya recalled both clones back into the system, then quietly waited for the Future Simulation cooldown to finish.
An hour later, Freya entered the simulation again right on time. Although she had brought out two bottles of potion directly last time, and theoretically doing so every time would halve the number of simulations needed, she still chose to enter as soon as the cooldown ended just to be safe. It was better to get all the potions as quickly as possible.
What happened next was no different from the first simulation: getting dressed up, attending the gathering. However, this time Freya didn't gorge herself at the party. Instead, she found a small corner and hid there.
But ridiculously, even so, that noble still took the initiative to come over and invite her to dance. Left with no choice, Freya had to brace herself and agree, subsequently stepping on his feet like crazy again.
During the subsequent public showcase of the potions, Freya repeated her old trick, picking up two potions and immediately ending the simulation. This time, she learned her lesson and overwrote the save slot of her main body.
Back in reality, looking at the two bottles of potion in her hands, Freya could barely suppress the grin tugging at the corners of her lips. She felt like she was at a buffet right now, picking up whatever she wanted to eat. This was simply too amazing.
Summoning Law Freya, she handed the Rank Three Law potion to her. After letting her drink it, Freya looked at the other potion in her hand. After some consideration, she decided to have Law Freya take the 【Arbiter】 class advancement.
Although she didn't know the specific abilities of this class advancement, and in comparison, the 【Listener】's Wish ability seemed more overpowered... the Arbiter currently had a Rank Seven potion available. With the path to becoming a demigod already laid out, any other choice naturally lost its meaning.
Of course, Freya still didn't know the rituals for advancing from Rank Four to Five, Five to Six, and Six to Seven. But with the potions in hand, she could take her time with those rituals. There was no rush.
However, after some thought, Freya ultimately decided not to drink the Rank Four potion and complete the class advancement just yet. Instead, she planned to wait for the cooldown to end and continue entering the simulation to get her hands on that Rank Seven potion first. Just in case some accident happened and she failed, she could still consider other class advancements.
