"An incomprehensible power amplification..."

Beatrice rubbed her wrist and said:

"I can confidently tell you, you genuinely have the qualification to dominate at the paradigm level now."

Though there are monsters even at the paradigm level, Louis barely managed to step into that monstrous field.

Saying it's dominating, there's no problem with that.

As long as you don't encounter monsters like Kulin Sword Saint or Captain Jino, you should be fine.

What?

You ask why not mention Chief Maid Lumi?

Unexpectedly, by the time the two of them finish a lap around the border and return, Chief Maid Lumi should have already broken through to legendary status.

"You seem to be thinking of something strange in my presence."

Louis curiously turned to look at Beatrice.

Beatrice started talking about Lumi over there.

Louis realized:

"Actually, for Sister Lumi and their generation, breaking through to legendary should be a given."

Beatrice nodded:

"Unfortunately, unforeseeable misfortunes arose, and the battle back then had a tremendous impact on Sister Lumi's side."

Louis didn't say much.

In fact, it wasn't just Lumi.

The entire former Hero Squad were members of the Ense Empire.

To be chosen as a member of the Hero Squad, not a single one of them was weak.

He had browsed through the royal family's internal data and confirmed that when they embarked on the path to clear the Underground City, they were all already at the peak of the paradigm level.

And Hero Max even became a legend.

The Hero's Sword granted heroes high damage against monsters.

Along with it, the Hero Squad members also shared this ability.

Under the influence of such power, level 20 at the paradigm level could directly be used as level 30 at the legendary level.

And Max, being a legend, naturally possessed demigod power.

Considering the entire squad's configuration back then...

The inherent trait of these young prodigies was precisely to overpower enemies beyond their level, wasn't it?

One could say, the squad dispatched by the Ense Empire back then had the most outstanding lineup among the historical Hero Squads.

Yet even such a squad was utterly devastated.

Hero Max and the Martial Monk sacrificed themselves to ensure the others could retreat.

Chief Maid Lumi, President Heisen Bansha, and Princess Consort Diana were severely wounded.

Afterward, Chief Maid Lumi couldn't progress even a step further, stuck at level 20 for a hundred years.

President Heisen Bansha also retired in his position as Guild Master of the Thief Guild; when Louis finally saw him, he was already quite old.

Princess Consort Diana did break through to become a demigod, yet even as a demigod, she still fell.

Princess Consort Diana's fall was essentially the beginning of the decline of the Ense Empire.

Because from then on, the emperor, as the empire's strongest, practically never rose again.

Yet even so, it doesn't mean Lumi isn't a prodigy.

During the Shadow Country incident, he witnessed Lumi's level firsthand.

Honestly, at level 20, to be able to grapple with a demigod for so long while carrying the burden of Little Swan was extremely absurd.

For a typical legend to not be outright crushed upon encountering a demigod is already quite impressive.

It's not like everyone is a Sword Master.

Even if Lumi used items to achieve this, it's still terrifying.

He's almost certain that, like Daya of the Shepherd race, Lumi has already stepped into the realm of a divine archer.

When it comes down to it, being able to capture that absurd bird for training already says a lot.

"I originally wanted to find some time to test my skills against Sister Lumi, but now it seems there's no opportunity for the time being."

If she were still at level 20, Louis might have dared to shout, "Aspire to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Celestial Lord."

Legendary?

No way to compete!

Someone like Teacher Jino, a top-notch monster, even dares to brawl with legendary dragons.

He doesn't believe Lumi can't do it.

The premise of overpowering enemies beyond your level is that your opponent isn't the same kind of genius in overpowering enemies as you are.

However, the news he received today is quite good.

"Paradigm level, not bad."

Yet recalling the demi-plane he sensed a moment ago, his expression turned odd.

"Beatrice, this demi-plane is quite interesting."

Beatrice looked at him, puzzled:

"What do you mean?"

"The demi-plane of the Cangqing Mechanical Corps is pretty impressive, with this thing, we should be able to build a communication network distinct from magic."

"Huh?"

Beatrice was somewhat confused.

Seeing she didn't quite understand, Louis patiently explained it to her.

In simple terms, the demi-plane of the Cangqing Mechanical Corps is a special world filled with machinery and information.

By unlocking the core with [Love], Louis gained access and, understanding its essence, instantly knew what this thing could be used for.

This thing is essentially the prototype of the internet.

One might even call it an evolved version of the internet.

The reason it's called a prototype is it currently lacks the infrastructure for physical realization.

However, the technology needed for entities like base stations is fundamentally not a problem.

Because there's already a more complete version of this technology.

Indeed, the mass-produced Rose Automata is fundamentally a refined version of this technology.

Or rather, is the internal communication network of the Rose Automata a weakened version of the Cangqing Mechanical Corps' demi-plane?

Anyway, whichever it is, it signifies this is a valuable asset.

Louis thought for a moment and said:

"The simplified version of the related technology, it's okay to hand it over to the White Tower for mass processing, right?"

Beatrice said:

"If the network you're talking about can really achieve such a level, handing it over to the White Tower wouldn't be a problem."
