"It's a perfect closed loop!"
Bai Luo asked: "What about the last one? What kind of ability is World Avatar?"
"Creator."
As Bai Luo's words fell, a beautiful figure appeared before him, precisely in the image of Violet Evergarden from his memories.
"Thanks to the magic essence you bestowed, I am able to accompany you in this form."
"Additionally, this body can return magic essence to you."
At this point, Violet seemed to worry that Bai Luo hadn't understood and explained: "Returning magic essence does not mean my regression."
"After the magic essence is returned, this body will collapse."
"But this is only temporary," Violet said, "With the passage of time, I can absorb magic essence from the Cardinal World until this body reaches its maximum magic essence storage capacity.~"
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Bai Luo inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu: "Isn't this—like..."
"Yes, it's just like the Storm Dragon within Rimuru."
As a World's Spirit born from Bai Luo's origin, Violet possessed all the knowledge her Creator mastered, which naturally included the anime and novels Bai Luo had watched.
"You can think of this portion of magic essence as a recoverable reserve."
Violet: "It will take roughly half a month to complete the replenishment from 0 to 200,000."
"So that means..."
"Yes."
Violet: "This means you can receive an additional 200,000 magic essence from me every month."
"..."
Just from the information Violet revealed, Bai Luo could think of several ways to use this magic essence.
For example, taking it out for naming monsters.
Or, in combat, having Violet fuse with him to use their combined magic essence.
"Is 200,000 the limit?"
"No."
Violet shook her head slightly: "Both the upper limit and the recovery speed are only for the current stage."
"Limited by my strength, my World Avatar cannot yet compare to the infinite magic essence of Dragon Kind."
The magic essence recovery speed of the Cardinal World's Dragon Kind is practically a bug.
In the original work, Rimuru named 200,000 Pighead Clan members at once and only needed to rest for a period before recovering to his peak.
That was 200,000! Even if the dilution ratio between high-level and low-level magic essence was very high, it would be impossible to complete the naming of 200,000 Pighead Clan members.
To put it bluntly, even if each Pighead Clan member only consumed 1,000 magic essence, that would be a massive expenditure of 200 million!
What is the concept of 200 million magic essence?
Even late-game Rimuru, after fusing with two Dragon Kind, barely reached this level.
How could a mere Demon Lord Seed-level Rimuru possess so much magic essence?
Other than the Storm Dragon, Bai Luo thought of nothing else.
"Meng Wang has the Storm Dragon, and I have Violet!"
Although they cannot compare for now, Violet will continue to grow, and that is the power of the World Avatar ability.
"Will consuming this magic essence have any negative effects on you, Wei Er?"
"No, it will not."
Violet would not fall into slumber because 200,000 magic essence was depleted; at most, she would lose the ability to manifest an avatar.
In any case, Violet could recover in at most half a month.
"Actually, as long as the magic essence consumed each time does not exceed half, the avatar can live normally."
"That's good."
Bai Luo naturally hoped that Violet would live with him like a real person.
If he directly consumed the magic essence every time it became available, wouldn't Violet never be able to condense a physical form?
Bai Luo would never do such a thing.
It was already somewhat shameful to live off a woman, but to be so shameless.
How was that any different from a scumbag who stays at home and takes his wife's income every month?
"This magic essence must be used for naming."
Bai Luo was not someone who liked to do unprofitable business; naming was an investment.
Only if there was a profit would naming have meaning.

"The attributes are getting more luxurious."
Bai Luo turned his attention to the magic essence column: "205,000 magic essence."
"When one's magic essence exceeds 200,000, they can obtain the title of Demon Lord Seed."
"In the original work, Clayman, Carrion, and Queen Frey generally had around 300,000 to 400,000 magic essence."
In other words, the current Bai Luo already possessed strength comparable to the bottom three of the Ten Great Demon Lord Seeds.
"This doesn't even account for the Ya Wolf species."
Bai Luo had no intention of letting these Ya Wolves go.
Ya Wolves possessed the characteristic of 'whole is individual'; that is, naming one of them was equivalent to naming all individuals simultaneously.
Of course, this naming method certainly differed from normal individual naming.
Just the magic essence consumption alone was much less than normal naming.
Here, it must be explained the difference between Bai Luo's newly acquired Unique Skill, "Unique Skill: Ten Thousand Spirits Return to One," and "Leader."
"Unique Skill: Ten Thousand Spirits Return to One" would not increase the proportion of magic essence that followers of different ranks could provide.
Followers provided 1-3%, named monsters 15%, and dependents 50%.
The original proportions remained the same, unchanged by the skill upgrade.
However, between the originally vast gap of named monsters and dependents, "Unique Skill: Ten Thousand Spirits Return to One" once again provided a new rank.
Kinsmen!
Intermediate between named monsters and dependents, they could provide Bai Luo with a 30% feedback of total magic essence.
Kinsmen targets needed to be personally selected and bound by Bai Luo.
