"This is the limitation of integration!"
Violet said, "If the Void Universe is gone, you still have the Cardinal Universe."
"Even if both of these worlds disappear completely, you still have me."
Yes, Violet was also Rin's phylactery, and the third phylactery.
"Well, about that."
Rin said awkwardly, "The way you put it, why do I feel like I'm turning into Voldemort?"
Seven Horcruxes, seriously?
"Is there anything wrong with that?"
Even though Violet seemed omnipotent, what she cared about most, and only, was Rin.
Violet did not care about the lives of others.
In her heart, as long as Rin was fine, anything could be rebuilt from scratch, including herself.
"The Cardinal Universe, the Void Universe, and me."
"As long as one of the three exists, you, Rin, will not die."
If all three perished, as long as Rin could survive, he could still revive Violet.
And Violet was a gigantic main computer.
She stored information on everyone within her body and could completely reconstruct the Void Universe, and even the Cardinal Universe, reviving everyone.
"This is your importance, Rin."
Three phylacteries ensured that Rin could have four lives.
And as long as the enemy could not eliminate Rin and destroy his foundation in one go, Rin could recover and recreate the three phylacteries.
This endless cycle was why Violet did not want Rin to be constrained by the Void Universe.
A mere phylactery wanting to usurp the host?
Violet: I see you have a death wish!
"Cough, cough."
What else could Rin say? He could only say that Mama Violet had truly worried herself sick over Rin's future.
"Speaking of which, if I don't need to merge, what about the others?"
Merging with the Void Universe was definitely a good thing, because it could create a deeper bond with Rin.
From outsider to kin, from kin to Dependent, and above Dependent, there was primal assimilation.
Rin called them "primal Dependents."
"Frost Dragon God and Scorching Dragon God also have the qualifications to complete assimilation."
To become a part of the Void Universe, one must first possess an Ultimate God Skill.
In other words, among those around Rin, only Velzard, Velgrynd, Luo Hao, and Veldora could challenge this realm.
"Except for Veldora, everyone else has a chance to achieve it."
Velzard gave her prediction: "Velzard 45%, Velgrynd 30%, Luo Hao 60%."
Leaving aside the first two women, Luo Hao's probability actually had little meaning.
She was a Campione, possessing the trait of breaking destiny, so Luo Hao was almost 100% certain to succeed.
"It can even be like this?"
On the other side, after learning about Guy's current state from Rin, all the Dependents became restless.
Those with potential were still fine.
Like Diablo, he believed his talent was not inferior to Guy's.
What Guy could do, he could do as well.
Testarossa was slightly inferior to Black and Crimson, but she also had confidence.
Others included Rimuru and Veldora.
One had entered the Calamity Domain, and the other only lacked the mental fortitude to directly line up for ascension, so it could be said there was no pressure at all.
As for the rest, Frey, Carrion, and the Monster Progenitors, who were slightly less talented, to be honest, they were under quite a bit of pressure.
Not only that, Shuna, Shion, and the others were also somewhat worried.
They did not care about strength.
More than that, they wanted to stay by Rin's side forever.
"You've misunderstood one thing."
Rin said, "Becoming a bonded companion is good, but I won't play favorites. My Dependents and my clan, I won't leave anyone behind."
"Besides, now doesn't seem to be the time to think about this..."
As his voice faded, the battle between the two figures in the distance erupted once more.
Only this time, the one with the upper hand was no longer Luo Hao, but Guy!
"Hoo, hoo."
"Is this the strongest in your world?"
Luo Hao stood amid the ruins, her clothes covered in dust, one sleeve completely torn, revealing a slender, jade-like arm covered in bloodstains.
"This battle, I lost..."
Admitting defeat was not shameful. Luo Hao was not the kind of person who would stubbornly refuse to admit it.
"No."
"This battle, you and I should be considered evenly matched."
Guy walked toward Luo Hao, and behind her, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood condensed from the abyss seemed to devour everything.
"300 million against 120 million, the advantage was mine from the start."
"But to fight to this extent..."
Guy did not dwell on victory or defeat. She merely wanted to defend the glory of the Cardinal World. "It would not be an exaggeration to say I lost."
"It seems the outside world also has individuals of your caliber."
Luo Hao stood up, not disheartened by her defeat in this battle.
On the contrary, Luo Hao was now full of motivation.
Ultimate fusion, becoming Rin's bonded companion, Luo Hao had also heard these words.
Precisely because of this, Luo Hao understood even more clearly how she should proceed.
She looked at Velzard and Velgrynd.
Compared to Guy, Luo Hao was more concerned about these two women.
Although Guy was also female.
But Rin felt nothing for her, becoming a buddy was already good enough.
Only against you two, I, Luo Hao, will never lose!
Luo Hao had a strong possessive desire toward Rin. Otherwise, she would not have proposed the title of Luo Hao.
However, Velzard and Velgrynd's progress was clearly much faster than hers.
"Let's fight again next time."
"Once I break through to a new realm, I will challenge you again."
"Ah."
Guy laughed heartily. "I'll be waiting for you anytime, Martial Arts King from Another World!"
Saying this, the two used their spatial abilities, directly crossing half the cosmic starry sky and appearing before Rin and the other spectators.
Just in time, Rin introduced everyone. "This is Luo Hao, from Campione World. You should have heard of her before."
"And then there's this one..."
"Yo!"
Guy appeared very lively and enthusiastic, without any pretense of being Dark Emperor. "Hello everyone, I'm Guy, and like these guys, I'm a monster!"
"The seven colors of the Primordial, are they all here?"
Luminous and Hinata, who knew Guy's identity and origin, really did not know how to react.
Did the Ten Great Demon Lords really still serve any purpose?
"I always feel like this title is fake."
Luminous helplessly rubbed her forehead as she looked at Guy. "By the way, if even you join Rin-sama's command, then what about the Ten Great Demon Lords?"
