Chapter 477: The Powerful Nia
“You are…I seem to recall seeing you somewhere before.”
Stella, Rose’s second sister, stared at the girl who had taken the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons potion when the head of the Abedor family looked as if he was about to cry. Her eyes widened as she realized who the girl was. She did not dare to confirm it.
“You are Miss Nia?”
Rose was the one who exclaimed and called out the name of the girl.
Nia was the person who had taken the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons. Rose recognized Nia because they were Royal Academy students, and Nia was a Saint Laurent family genius who was well-known in the capital. She had watched the match between Nia and Watson. That match had left an indelible imprint on her.
“h.e.l.lo.” Nia nodded.
“Are you Nia?” Nia, the kingdom’s second-ranked genius, was the strongest genius in the Saint Laurent family. At that moment, the Abedor family’s leader also reacted. He took a deep breath of cold air, and then his face became sad. “Regardless of who you are, entering the Abedor family’s place so rashly and seeking the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons is not appropriate, is it? Rose, my daughter, has made that painstakingly. I have not even had the opportunity to eat it yet.”
It was no surprise that the Abedor family’s head was upset. The Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons could transform a person into a platinum-tier angel. That kind of potion was extremely appealing to ordinary people. However, for a genius like Nia, the effect was not as strong. After all, even if Nia did not drink the potion, her strength was far above platinum-tier. Why did she still go to the Abedor family to steal the potion, despite her obvious strength?
He could not figure it out.
A tender voice came from outside the room just as he was perplexed.
“Master Robin, please accept my apologies. I was the one who asked Nia to consume the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons.”
Watson slowly and entered the room. Stella and Rose Weiser’s eyes lit up when they saw him. Then, Rose Weiser knelt on one knee, and Stella rushed to Watson’s side, wrapping her arms around his shoulders, saying, “Watson, I have not seen you in two days. I heard you have been staying in the Dragon Lair and that you have enraged His Majesty. He even imprisoned you. When were you released? Is His Majesty relaxed now?”
Watson’s expression became strange as he looked at his arm, which was pressed against his shoulder. “I left the prison quite some time ago, Miss Stella. I just finished a ma.s.sive battle with someone above the royal city’s sky. Didn’t you know?”
A G.o.d-tier battle had erupted above the royal city. He even summoned the dragons, the sea folks, and the Blackmoon Knights. Stella would not ask such a question if she saw that.
“We stayed here after receiving the formula; we never left. Furthermore, this room has excellent sound insulation. There was a tremor in the laboratory just now, and it almost halted our work. What happened outside?” Stella scratched her brow, her face expressionless. In response to her words, Watson’s mouth twitched. It was insignificant.
Stella’s indifferent att.i.tude toward the outside world was not appropriate for a person. However, as a potion-maker, there was nothing wrong with Stella’s behavior because she could only do her best by focusing all of her attention on one thing and ignoring the others.
“Let’s not get into that right now, Watson. Why did you make Miss Nia take the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons potion now? An elite at her level should not require that potion, right?” Stella asked as she pondered something.
Watson remained silent. “Miss Stella, if you keep watching, you will know soon enough,” he said, raising his chin.
Following his words, everyone in the room, including Rose and Robin, the Abedor family’s patriarch, turned to face Nia. Tens of thousands of lights appeared suddenly behind Nia’s back, drawing everyone’s attention. Six enormous white wings appeared. A glowing ring appeared above Nia’s head not long after. It was no different than an angel who had accepted a G.o.d’s or a demon’s blessing.
Stella was about to say that Nia’s appearance was unremarkable when something strange happened. The original circle-shaped ring of light above Nia’s head was suddenly dyed with a layer of golden light. Then, complicated patterns appeared on it, as well as golden energy walls. They merged to form a stunning floating crown. Nia’s six white wings turned golden as well. The number of wings began to grow as well.
The six ma.s.sive wings were covered in tiny feathers. If one looked closely, one would notice that they were tiny golden wings. Some of the people who had used the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons were transformed into angels, but their wings were made of feathers. Nia’s wings were made of even smaller wings. She appeared to have millions of wings covering her body. She could fly up into the sky with a light flap of her wings.
“That does not appear to be the same as when I drank the potion. Miss Nia’s aura is far too powerful to ignore. She is platinum-tier, but she exudes a higher level of sophistication. Furthermore, I have the impression that I am submitting to Miss Nia.”
Stella’s back was forced to sprout six pure white wings. Her wings could not be compared to Nia’s, either in terms of magnificence or structure. At the same time, she felt oppressed by her bloodline. “Watson, I understand why you allowed Miss Nia to take Rose’s potion.”
“It looks like you understand it, Miss Stella, which is a good thing.” Watson nodded and smiled.
He allowed Nia to take the Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons potion because Nia was originally of the angel race—she was the King of Angels. Nia, unlike ordinary angels, would become the King of Angels once she became an angel. Furthermore, Nia was originally at sovereign-tier, but she was only at peak gold-tier after being reincarnated as the Child of G.o.d. Watson needed to boost Nia’s power so she could demonstrate even more powerful strength.
If Nia’s sovereign-tier served as a reservoir, then that body served as a valve. The lower the tier represented by the valve, the less water it was capable of releasing. Nia’s strength was dozens of times stronger than before she had reached platinum-tier. Watson was not sure if he could beat Nia in the future, but he was not a match for her right then.
Stella nodded and said, “Watson, the reason you let Miss Nia take the potion is that Rose created a very powerful potion, right? Not bad, Rose. Even if you only succeed once in a thousand attempts, the potion you created has a stronger effect than the original. I believe that potion is no longer only platinum-tier but diamond-tier. Do you remember the sequence of your actions, Rose? You must remember to write it down later. Perhaps we inadvertently improved that potion.”
Nia’s effects after taking the potion differed from Stella’s. Clearly, Nia’s talent was not only superior to hers, but she was also more adaptable to the potion. It was because Rose’s potion was more potent than what Watson had given them.
“Is that right? It has already slipped my mind. All I know is that I followed the recipe.” Rose Weiser’s hands moved to the position of her lower abdomen as Stella complimented her.
Watson shook his head. He thought Stella truly understood it. He had not expected Stella to be incorrect, so he did not correct her. “Nia, how do you feel?” he asked Nia, who had transformed into the King of Angels. “Are you still pleased with the gift I gave you?”
Nia’s strength had been upgraded from gold to platinum-tier thanks to a potion. That was a secondary consideration. The main point was that it had enabled Nia to obtain the body of an angel; as the former King of Angels, Nia would undoubtedly be more suited to an angel’s body than a human’s.
Nia reached out her right hand and gently clenched it. The entire room appeared to have come to a halt. All energy factors, whether time or s.p.a.ce, had gone silent. A layer of solid ice appeared in the center of the room, covering the walls and ceiling in an instant, freezing everything.
“Honorable Master, I am feeling great right now! After consuming that potion, my body is transformed into an angel of the highest level once more. Using molecular deceleration as an angel, it is possible to freeze starlight-tier places. I could defeat all the people possessed by the seven G.o.ds right now.” Nia spoke without emotion, but her tone was gentle.
“That is great.” The corners of Watson’s mouth twitched. He would be safer if Nia grew stronger. That potion was merely a starter for Nia. He would devise a method to increase Nia’s strength to a higher level.
Robin struggled to move his feet, which had been frozen by the cold air, at the far end of the room. His expression became increasingly depressed. He had no idea that the potion was successfully refined but that its effect would exceed the original effect. It was a shame he did not eat it. However, Watson’s decision was final, and he had no right to object. Watson gave them the prescription and the water from the Spring of Life. Furthermore, they had already announced that they were working for Watson, there was no reason for subordinates to steal from their superiors.
Watson turned his head and looked at Rose as if sensing her emotions. “Are those the failed potions, Rose?” There was a pile of broken Blessings of the G.o.ds and Demons.
“Yes, Young Master Watson. I have wasted so many materials. I have let you down.” Rose approached the experiment table. She apologized with some embarra.s.sment and waved her hands to cover up the scene behind her.
“It is all right. The mother of success is failure. Furthermore, those failures are not insignificant to me. ”
Watson gently consoled her while waving his hand at the failed products. “Fusion system, activate.”
Under everyone’s astonished gazes, the potions transformed into light rays and fused in the air, transforming into round black and white potions that emitted an ancient light. The quant.i.ty was roughly half of the failed products.
