After Minos' words, Queen Mcbride didn't realize he was lying. Instead, she believed this guy's words while focusing on the large skeleton frozen in that place.
This one was gigantic. To get an idea, one of the smallest bones, which looked like part of this being's feet, was twice as long as Queen Mcbride.
But not only was its size fabulous, but the energy fluctuations of this creature were also so high that even this Spiritual Demigod had to open her mouth and eyes in shock.
'This power... It is far greater than the power of a level 99 Spiritual Demigod!' She rembered the sensations she felt when being around people at that level.
She knew a few peak cultivators from the Spiritual World. Among them were three in the Central Continent: Vico Travisani, the current Supre Pontiff of the Spiritual Church, and the Queen of Sista, this state between the Western Empire and the Eastern Empire.
Besides these domains, all the other high-level states of the Central Continent were ruled by Spiritual Demigods between levels 93 and 98.
But even though she was one of the weakest state leaders of the continent's high-level territories, Hannah knew how to differentiate the level of cultivators of the highest level.
She could tell that Vico was stronger than the Supre Pontiff and Queen Sista just by that man's presence. But the difference between that set of bones and Emperor Travisani was bigger than this woman would expect if she ca across a God!
"Incredible! The power and density of the laws in it are so great that if I were to receive that much power all at once, even my super-strong body would explode in the blink of an eye."
Queen Mcbride was not only powerful because of her level but also because of her innate ability to reproduce, which strengthened her physically.
Because of her lineage, her body was almost as tough as those of level 97 Spiritual Demigods!
So although her level was not high compared to that of the continental leaders, this woman being impressed by that energy source was relevant.
Minos heard that woman's comnt and agreed. "That's only natural. Even Gods would find it difficult to receive all this energy, so it's to be expected that a Demigod would suffer in a situation like that."
"Gods?" She looked at Minos, frowning her eyebrows. "Do you know anything about them?"
"Only what is in my mind through the information left by the ancients..." He said vaguely.
She considered that he was talking about books and other thods of imparting knowledge and thought there was nothing wrong with his comnt.
However, Hannah did not believe at all that these creatures would be as superior to the Gods as Minos seed to believe.
"If so of the Spiritual World experts tried to use this after a stage advancent, I have my doubts as to whether it would be so difficult." She comnted. "A monster like Vico would definitely have the ability to do sothing that people like wouldn't have the chance, regardless of how strong they were."
"Hmm, I don't know..." Minos muttered as he watched that woman, waiting for what she would talk about after eting these bones.
After a few more comnts about the spiritual greatness of that skeleton, Hannah turned to Minos and said. "You said you were able to use this skeleton to beco stronger... I want you to show what you did.
In fact, I want to know how that's possible too."
He was not hiding any big secret and said. "Simple, I used my innate ability.
I said before those with compatible skills can certainly manipulate these bones sohow...
Not for nothing did the creators of this sect say that they had to protect these skeletons so they wouldn't fall into the wrong hands. They knew that so people would be able to manipulate these bones and that this could cause chaos.
So they sealed virtually all of these bones and hid them."
Queen Mcbride had researched the remnants of the primordials in the months that had passed since her year-long agreent with Minos. So she was aware of why these skeletons were not exposed to the public, the organizations famous for hiding them, and also the enemies of these groups.
With that in mind, she understood Minos' statents and said. "I want to see it happen."
Minos had used his innate ability many tis before his opponents since reaching the 8th stage. So he didn't hold back. Soon, he was sitting on top of that skeleton's skull, starting his cultivation with his innate ability.
He said to the queen. "Unlike a living being that can use its strength to protect itself, this is just a skeleton without consciousness, which does have a lot of power but cannot use it to protect itself. So I can steal its cultivation base, raise my level through that, and thereby cultivate faster."
"Is that how you can do it?" She narrowed her eyes as she noticed a slight increase in Minos' level, sothing subtle but noticeable. "But that will pass soon after you finish using this skill... Was it just the ability to manipulate more energy that made you able to cultivate faster?"
"That trait really is what's behind my ability to cultivate faster than others since I reached this stage. But there is one more difference between doing that on a skeleton compared to doing that on a living being."
"Oh?"
He said. "The stolen cultivation base always returns to its original owner because that is a power marked with the mark of its owner's soul. In the case of these skeletons, their souls have already dissipated, and this is power without an owner." He smiled. "So..."
"So you can turn this into your cultivation permanently?" She opened her mouth in surprise, speaking instead of Minos.
"Exactly. A power without an owner would soon transform and co to bear my mark. From then on, it could no longer be mistaken for the power of these bones!"
'I got it... So that's how it is!' She clenched her fists, seeing how lucky Minos was to have such an excellent innate ability while at the sa ti having access to one of these skeletons.
'If only one of my grandchildren had that ability...' She was thinking but rembered that it wouldn't help as much as she would like even if that happened.
Only one man would have the lineage of Minos, for a woman in her family would surely inherit the powers of her lineage. But the n of the Mcbride family were all sterile.
In this case, even a child of Minos with Adele or Bridget could only help that state during his short life!
"Sigh..."
'If it were by other ans, this could revolutionize my state with the ergence of generations of people capable of using these bones... But as sothing coming from an innate ability, it would never benefit us.' She realized her mistake.
A daughter of Minos would certainly have many talents, but she would by no ans be like him.
Realizing this, she noticed all her chasing after Minos had been futile!
She had always thought that Minos had a natural peak talent. But in fact, he was just fortunate to have sothing so good and to be so lucky!
In this case, being his friend than his mother-in-law was better!
