nArriving in Peters City, Lothur noticed how different this city had become just a few days since he had last been there.

nThere were now many tents and huts around the city, with refugee camps as large as this city had been before the Ritter Motor Company.

nAt the same time, there was an area of white tents where thousands of wounded were being treated, the people who were brought here from the battlefields of the empire.

nThe men guarding the city’s outskirts also looked shaken, some of them wearing robes and damaged armor, dirty with dirt and blood, while they had terrible looks in their eyes.

nThe city was doing relatively well, considering how bad things were on the continent. But many of the men there had fought in countless battles over the past few days and had seen countless lives lost, including those of friends and comrades.

nWhen he arrived in Peters City, Lothur realized the drastic situation on the continent while he was dealing with the demons on Demon Island.

n‘The demons on the mainland seemed enough to bring all of Concordia to this state.’ He imagined, feeling that if Peters City were like this, other parts of the continent would be much worse.

nHowever, looking at his status, he quickly moved in the direction of where Mabel and Annaliese were.

nName: Lothur Ritter

nPhysique: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

nBloodline: Life Devourer

nSoul Cultivation: level 26

nBody Cultivation: level 25

nSTR: 15,508 CON: 73,999

nDEX: 17,706 AGI: 19,805

nINT: 2,577 PER: 32,000

nWIL: 8,000 SOU: 180,000

nEVF: 12,123,637

n‘Time to change the local situation!’ He quickly crossed the space, attracting the attention of the two women.

n“Lothur!” Annaliese was the first to notice her man’s aura, while Mabel realized that this was not an enemy but their greatest ally.

nSensing Lothur’s aura, the mature woman smiled, seeing that her son-in-law had succeeded in dealing with the Demon Emperor and had become much stronger.

nAnnaliese was also pleased, even considering the defeats the continent had suffered in recent days, to see the hope of Concordia’s successful return from her journey.

n“Lothur, congratulations on destroying the enemies!” She ran to him as soon as she saw him, not needing to hear the story to know it had happened.

nLothur smiled as he hugged his woman’s young body before getting to the point. “Anna, we have no time to celebrate. Now that I’m back, I want to end the war as soon as possible.”

nHe looked at Mabel and said. “Come over here. I’ll give you something to boost your strength.”

nMabel found Lothur’s words strange since she had already completed her Spirit Body, and the Soul Bones could no longer help her become stronger.

nBut as she stood next to her daughter in front of Lothur, she soon realized that what he had in mind was different from what she had imagined.

n“Before, the Soul Crystal tricked me, and I had a soul worm in me, something that had limited me greatly in the past. But after my rebirth, I gained full control over my abilities.

nNot only can I use my bloodline ability to increase my strength now, but I can also do it to whomever I choose.” Lothur said as he infused the women with EVF points and directed them into their souls.

nThe conversion factor for other humans was less advantageous to them than it was to Lothur. But even so, he thought it was enough for him not to use all of his EVF points on himself.

nWhile Mabel and Annaliese felt a different energy entering their bodies, they would soon notice that their soul powers were rapidly increasing.

nIn the blink of an eye, Lothur spent 2 million EVF points on these two women, giving them 20,000 Soul points each.

nThe two of them were shocked to realize the increase in their powers. Mabel finally crossed the level 25 threshold and reached the legendary level 26, the 5th Catastrophe!

n“You can do that now?” Annaliese asked in surprise, seeing that her husband had the ability of a God.

nWho else but a divine being could give other people the powers they wanted? 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮

nLothur laughed at Annaliese’s reaction and said. “Now I can. Unfortunately, the price is quite high. This ‘small’ advancement in soul power I’ve just given you was only made possible by the deaths of more than 300,000 demons.”

nThe two became more serious when they heard this, imagining the bloodbath Lothur had caused to achieve such a breakthrough for them.

nBut since demons were the source of these points, neither of them was worried since their goal was to exterminate that race.

nStill, the two couldn’t help but be shocked by Lothur’s extreme methods.

n“So you really wiped out the demon lair? How many Soul Bones did you get?” Mabel asked.

n“Yes, I did. As for the bones, I have a few million of them. Most of them are of poor quality, and many won’t give any abilities to those who absorb them, but they’re still valuable resources.”

n“All of that?” Annaliese asked in surprise since these items had been so rare and mysterious until recently.

nBut now Lothur had millions of them…

nBut these bones were still few compared to the number of beings capable of absorbing them on this continent. Even after the death of many human cultivators in this war, there were still at least 50 million people capable of absorbing such essences.

n“What are you going to do with them, Lothur?” Mabel asked him doubtfully.

n“I will use the best of them on my people. I have already separated the next bones of Rebecca and Ruth and my own. Among the others, I’ll distribute a few tens of thousands locally.

nBut I intend to hide most of these bones on the continent. I think they could be important for the continent to regain its lost strength in this war in the future when we are no longer here.” He said seriously.

n“Oh? Why wouldn’t we be here anymore?” Annaliese asked him.

n“I intend to leave for the seas of this world after we have finished everything here. That will also be the time for us to advance to the legendary immortal level, Anna. By then, I believe we will no longer be able to interfere with things on the continent, so I want to leave ways for the human populations to grow stronger.”

nMabel understood what Lothur was saying, considering how she felt about the sea. But she asked him about the other part of his plans. “Wouldn’t you rather leave that to your organization? Why provide opportunities for others?”

nLothur laughed and explained. “Because it’s necessary. If only selected people were given opportunities, I would never have reached my current level, and the continent would be lost. In order to allow people to grow from the ground up, as I have, I’m going to leave most of these bones around the continent to people who are destined for them.

nConsider this my whim for the sake of those like me.”
