"This upper limit, whether it can be developed, depends on yourselves."
Persephone turned her gaze to the women.
The flames dissipated.
A magatama appeared floating in the flames, suspended in mid-air.
"Najenda."
Persephone smiled and said: "Give it a try."
"I..."
Najenda was stunned, but feeling the joy and desire welling up in her heart.
She stood up, walked to the magatama, and picked it up.
Instantly.
The magatama burst forth with brilliant light.
The next moment.
In Najenda's hand appeared a long sword like ancient jade, behind her floated a mirror of ancient jade material, and around her body floated eight magatama of ancient jade material.
"Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi."
"Yata-no-Kagami."
"Yasakani-no-Magatama."
Persephone explained: "Forged by modifying the original Imperial Arms, this is a completely new Imperial Arms."
"Hmm..."
"Simply calling it an Imperial Arms isn't really appropriate."
"Now it."
"Contains infinite evolution, darkness, and the divine power of laws."
"Plus the divine power that Dust injected into it."
"Actually."
"This Imperial Arms would be more appropriately called a Demon Imperial Arms."
"It's like an infinitely evolving demon."
"Is that so..."
Najenda felt the powerful strength within herself, a power she had never dared to imagine.
In the past.
Najenda had only felt such power from Esdeath.
Now?
Najenda could be certain that she had already surpassed Esdeath. Just from the Imperial Arms' sublimation alone, she had achieved such progress.
"Develop it slowly."
"What the future of Demon Imperial Arms will be."
"I'm not clear about that either."
Persephone smiled and shook her head, but then touched her lips thoughtfully: "However, you Demon Imperial Arms users can also compare to the upper limits of Underworld Warriors. In the future, you will also become a force under Dust's command."
This was Persephone's idea.
If.
The sublimated Imperial Arms still couldn't match the Magic Stars.
Then.
It would be meaningless.
Imperial Arms users without limits had no need to exist.
Underworld Warriors.
Demon Imperial Arms Users.
Just by conquering the first world, they already possessed a force that could match the upper limits of Underworld Warriors.
This harvest was already quite remarkable.
This didn't even count the lower-level benefits.
"Indeed."
Persephone said with a touch of sentiment: "Crossing the myriad worlds, world power, faith power, divine object resources - these are always just the most basic benefits. The truly important gains are always those unexpected rewards."
"That's absolutely right."
Sora smiled and nodded, saying: "Persephone, please continue modifying the remaining 47 Imperial Arms."
"As for Najenda..."
"Speed of Lightning: Three Sacred Treasures."
"How does that new name sound?"
Sora looked at Najenda.
Najenda had already put away her Demon Imperial Arms. She smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I naturally have no objections to any name you choose."
Sora shook his head and said no more.
Najenda put on the magatama in its basic form, hanging it around her neck.
Actually.
After being sublimated into a Demon Imperial Arms, it had already bonded with its user, so there was no risk of losing it.
Of course.
External appearance was external appearance - as long as she liked it.
"Boss."
After Najenda sat back down, Leone moved closer and whispered: "Can you defeat Esdeath now?"
"Yes."
Najenda nodded and said: "My Imperial Arms has been sublimated into a Demon Imperial Arms, while Esdeath hasn't been sublimated yet. However, this is meaningless."
"Alright."
Leone clicked her tongue and began to get excited, starting to anticipate what her own Imperial Arms would be like after sublimation.
Soon.
Under Persephone's preliminary modifications, the eight women had all been transformed.
And.
Najenda's brief stint as the strongest, lasting only a few minutes, was already surpassed again by Esdeath.
Most importantly.
Esdeath was even leading by a huge margin.
At this moment.
Esdeath's entire body was covered in dark purple armor filled with ice crystal elements. Looking closely, one would discover that its style seemed very similar to the Underworld Warriors' Cloth.
"This is..."
Everyone looked at Esdeath's situation with curiosity.
Pandora explained: "As you Imperial Arms users develop and improve your Demon Imperial Arms, this counts as the second stage. You will evolve armor similar to Cloth, greatly enhancing strength and speed."
"However."
"Esdeath hasn't yet cultivated Cosmo, so the amplification from Cosmo can't be seen yet."
"I see!"
Listening to Pandora's explanation, the women's gazes became heated.
Was this what the future looked like?
Then...
Everyone got excited, each person becoming very thrilled and serious.
From today onwards, they must train hard and diligently.
Otherwise.
Everyone was companions, part of the same team. Look at Esdeath, then look at themselves - wasn't it embarrassing?
Don't let it be that they hadn't even activated the second stage while Esdeath had already stepped into the third stage.
That would be utterly humiliating.
"Cosmo?"
Esdeath felt the vast power within herself, like a surging ocean compared to before, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
How amazing would the power of Cosmo be?
At this time.
Sora said: "Alright, calm your minds. Later, I'll have Pandora teach you about Cosmo. Next, there are still some matters to handle."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The women respectfully bowed their heads.
Pandora led the eight women away. Next, she would arrange their residences in the Pure Land of Bliss.
Regardless of what they belonged to.
They were all His Majesty's retainers. Fundamentally speaking, their statuses among each other knew no hierarchy.
