As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

Ron left Granville and was on his way to the Spang Theocracy.

He was playing with a necklace in his hand.

It was a very ordinary-looking necklace, golden all over, and seemed to be just an ordinary gold chain. There was also a pendant at the bottom of the necklace, which was shaped like a sharp sword, which was the only special thing on the necklace.

This was Arianna's thank-you gift to Ron.

Arianna was not a woman who was very good at speaking. She was very grateful to Ron for saving her this time, but it was difficult for her to express her gratitude. Perhaps for Arianna, those words of gratitude, no matter how affectionate and meaningful they were, would seem too empty and awkward.

So, Arianna chose another approach.

She gave Ron a necklace that she had been wearing around her neck as a gift.

This is a necklace made of pure gold. It is an equipment, but its attributes are very poor. It only adds one to the four dimensions. Any white necklace may have more attributes added than this necklace.

But this necklace has a very special meaning to Arianna. It was a coming-of-age gift given to her by Dolores when she was eighteen years old.

Arianna has many gifts given to her by Dolores, and this necklace is one of the most meaningful ones. In Arianna's eyes, perhaps only this necklace can convey her gratitude to Ron.

She is not afraid of death.

Over the years, she has no idea how many times she has experienced life and death.

What Arianna was really worried about was that if she died, who would be able to protect Dolores as wholeheartedly as she did?

If those damn angels used her appearance and body to hurt Dolores, Arianna would never be able to rest in peace.

However, this seemingly ordinary necklace made Ron look extremely strange, simply because this necklace had a very special name: Heart of Courage.

For a moment, Ron couldn't help but smile bitterly.

All along, Ron had neither the opportunity nor the time to conquer Arianna, but who would have thought that he would obtain the Heart of Valor in this way.

This heroic heart is the ninth item in the mission.

After Ron put on the Heart of Valor, the effect of the artifact-level suit was immediately revealed.

Strength, spirit, agility, physique, and the four-dimensional attributes increased by 512 respectively.

The total additional attribute value exceeds two thousand.

Although the improvements brought by these attributes are nothing to Ron now, a mosquito leg is still meat no matter how small it is, and Ron has never been picky.

As for Philomena, although she accompanied Ron to Granville, she did not move with Ron after arriving here. She just found a hotel to stay in.

Although Philomena seemed to have low emotional intelligence at times, she could at least see that Ron was here to take care of some personal matters, so she would not come over to disturb him at this time.

It was not until Ron was about to leave that Philomena caught up with him, and the two of them went to the Theocracy of Spang together.

Seven years is enough time to change a lot of things.

Although it is not as good as Granville, the Theocracy of Spang is gradually improving.

After seven years of struggle, all the forces that had tried to overthrow Lydia had already given up and accepted their fate.

Perhaps, Lydia is not as good as Dolores in managing a country, but Lydia has a very capable deputy, Bai Lan, a fox girl who came from the orc tribe and has now become a formal citizen of the Spang Theocracy.

As a queen who once managed the entire orc tribe, Bai Lan is very experienced in this area.

With Bai Lan's assistance, Lydia is now able to handle many things with ease and is no longer in a rush.

The great cancer of the nobility has been completely eradicated.

The current ruler of the Church of the Heart of Nature is Saint Isabel.

Isabel and Lydia have a very close relationship and support each other. Together, the two of them have basically easily grasped most of the power in the entire Spang Theocracy. Although there are still a few people in the country who have some evil intentions, they can't make much waves in the face of absolute strength.

The most important thing is that Lydia has a large group of experts around her, whom she recruited from nowhere.

Even a legendary strong man is like an ant in front of these super masters and is not worth mentioning at all.

At this point, Lydia's position as queen was completely consolidated, and the twenty to thirty million citizens of the Spang Theocracy also completely recognized and accepted the existence of this king.

With the implementation of a large number of new policies, the burden on civilians was gradually reduced. In addition, although the territory of the Spang Theocracy did not expand due to the previous war jointly fought with Granville, almost all of the compensation was given by Dolores to Lydia.

Granville is very rich and has no shortage of money, but for the Theocracy of Spong, this amount of money is definitely a huge sum that is enough to change the entire country.

With the support of this large sum of money, Lydia can boldly carry out some of the plans that she originally wanted to do but did not have the funds to implement. In Lydia's mind, the Theocracy of Spang is getting closer and closer to her dream state.

Just like when he was in Granville, Ron's figure appeared silently beside each girl under the cover of night.

He finished visiting Lydia.

The queen was not as busy as Dolores and she slept soundly.

I just didn’t know what I saw in the dream. A silly smile appeared on my face, and even saliva was flowing from the corners of my mouth.

He went to see Charlene.

This silly girl, who is a bit clumsy and naive, doesn't know if it's because her strength has increased and stimulated her secondary development, but her body is hotter than before.

Even her chest area had some size, but the girl's sleeping posture was too indecent, with her legs spread out, not looking like a lady at all.

Ron also went to see Isabel.

This once pitiful saint, now the ruler of the Church of Nature's Heart, now exudes the aura of a superior.

The childishness on her cheeks had faded away at some point, and there was a hint of sharpness between her brows. I guess the clergy of the Church of the Heart of Nature must have felt very pressured when they saw Isabel, right?

Ron went to see Carol and Mirabelle again.

These two people lived with their compatriots who had escaped from the Elf Forest before.

Although they still carry hatred and the day of revenge is still a long way off, it can be seen that their lives should be quite good during this period.

On their faces, Ron could feel a sense of ease and joy that he had never felt before. You know, before this, even Mirabelle, who had a more lively personality, no matter how she behaved in front of Ron, the sadness between her brows was always there.

Now, although that hint of sadness has not completely disappeared, it has faded a lot.

However, perhaps because Mirabelle and Carol received less inheritance, or perhaps because the inheritance of the Mother Goddess of All Things needed to be divided equally between the two of them, although their strength increased rapidly, it was not too exaggerated.

Seeing Bai Lan, Bai Yuan, Ifrit, and even the clumsy girl Sharin successfully push open the brand new door, they were deeply stimulated. Even though it was already late at night, they had no intention of resting and were still practicing hard, hoping that they could reach their limits sooner.

Ron also went to find Ifrit.

The death of his brother Mansfield did not have much impact on Ifrit.

To Ifrit, Mansfield might just be an insignificant passer-by in her life. She has no affection for her brother. If she has to say that she has any feelings, it is probably just disgust and hatred. Even though Mansfield is dead, the bullying and humiliation he once brought to her will never disappear.

Perhaps it’s because Ifrit has the purest dragon blood.

Her strength is improving rapidly.

His current realm had already entered the middle level of the Destruction Realm, and there was no sign of instability at all.

No, Ifrit's realm is indeed a little unstable.

But this instability was caused by Ifrit trying desperately to suppress her own strength and realm... That's right, this dragon girl was trying desperately to suppress her own realm, and it seemed that she didn't want to step into the late stage of the destruction realm so quickly.

Perhaps it was because Ifrit also understood that once he reached the peak of the Realm of Destruction, he might have to face heavenly thunder.

So this dragon girl wants to accumulate as much energy as possible before that.

Ron didn't think too much about it. After seeing that Ifrit was also safe and sound, Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that some thoughts in his mind had gradually subsided.

Ron went to see Selma and Lucia again.

Just as Ron had imagined, the two girls were sleeping soundly.

They looked so sweet that Ron even felt reluctant to wake them up.

For the two girls who have been entangled and bitten by ugly sea snakes for thousands of years, it must be a rare day to be able to sleep peacefully like this.

Ron could clearly see that the two girls' breathing was much calmer, and even their little faces had a blush.

Ron didn't even stay for a day in the Theocracy of Spang.

When the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Ron had already left quietly.

He went to the Dulles Mountains.

Right on the highest peak in the Dulles Mountains.

It is very cold here and the temperature is very low, even lower than the deepest part of the Wanli Glacier.

Ron stood quietly on the top of the mountain, the biting cold wind whistling and roaring in his ears. The snowflakes floating in the air were like sharp blades, tearing through Ron's body and cutting open his pure white robe.

In a short period of time, a hazy layer of white frost even condensed on Ron's body.

Ron seemed unaware of all this. He just stood there quietly, as if he had turned into a statue.

Philomena's figure appeared thousands of meters away. She looked up, her pair of ice-blue eyes quietly staring at the figure on the thousand-meter peak, with a slight confusion in her eyes.

She knew what Ron was doing.

Ron chose this mountain as the place where he would face the thunder from the sky.

And now, Ron is adjusting his physical and mental state, which will take quite a long time.

What exactly is heavenly thunder like?

Philomena didn't know.

She just knew that there would be thunder from the sky, but Philomena didn't know exactly what form it would take.

For Philomena, being able to witness Ron's tribulation with her own eyes would be considered some experience. If Ron couldn't hold on under the thunder, perhaps she still had a chance to save him.

In fact, Philomena has an instinctive fear of thunder in her heart.

She knew that things like heavenly thunder were not fixed.

The heavenly thunder that each practitioner faces is probably different.

Just because Heferson could successfully withstand the thunderbolt didn't mean that she and Ron would have the same chance. At least Philomena still remembered clearly that her father, the powerful man known as the Blasphemer, was reduced to ashes under the rolling thunderbolt.

Even though Philomena now knows from Ron that her father is still alive, the shadow cast by that scene has never disappeared, and it has been tormenting Philomena's soul like a nightmare.

This strong sense of fear is also the reason why Philomena has not been able to break through the demigod realm.

Philomena is actually very talented.

No matter what, Philomena's body also flows with the blood of a blasphemer. She is also the best of all his children, as Archibald said himself. She also has a large number of various treasures prepared for her by Archibald.

High-grade, highly enhanced equipment.

Various secret books.

A precious holy relic.

A rare potion.

Coupled with Philomena's talent, one can imagine how fast her realm will improve.

She has better conditions than Partridge.

Although she does not have a powerful evil god supporting her like Heferson, she has practiced for several times longer than Heferson. It does not make sense that Patridge and Heferson have become demigods while Philomena cannot.

In fact, it’s not that Philomena can’t do it, but that she doesn’t want to do it.

Ever since she entered the realm of destruction hundreds of years ago, Philomena has begun to consciously control the progress of her practice.

Especially after reaching the late stage of the Destruction Realm, Philomena never practiced again.

The reason was that she was afraid.

The thunder that day was like a demon lingering in her heart. She was afraid that she would be reduced to ashes under the thunder like her father.

call!

Philomena showed a bitter smile on her face.

She can hide for a while, but she can't hide forever.

Recently, my realm has been getting more and more restless. Perhaps after Ron successfully withstood the thunder, it won't be long before it's my turn?

Perhaps, she also needs to prepare herself to face the nightmare in her heart.

After staring at Ron for another look, Philomena turned around and cut a hole in the iceberg behind her, just big enough for her to get in. Through the hole, she could clearly see Ron standing on the top of the mountain. She wanted to get courage from Ron.
