63: Clarissa's strength has increased greatly

While the kings were deliberating, Clarissa instructed everyone not to disturb her, then found a quiet house.

She prepared to upgrade the Rank of her Dragon Blood Warrior.

She opened the System panel and clicked upgrade.

5,000,000 source points deducted!

Clarissa felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat.

An indescribable Bloodline power erupted from the deepest depths of her body.

With every beat of her heart, the erupting power became increasingly formidable, and waves of fresh blood surged out, reaching into every limb and bone, circulating throughout her body.

As time passed, the color of the blood being pumped shifted from bright red to a dark gold.

It was filled with an Aura of nobility, mystery, and Calamity Wings.

The blood inside Clarissa's body slowly transformed entirely into this dark gold blood.

Her entire being began to sublimate along with it, as if her life level had taken a leap forward.

She could clearly feel her strength constantly climbing.

A terrifying Aura slowly emanated from within her.

Thump! Thump!

Countless people felt this Aura.

One after another, they knelt to the ground.

It was mysterious, noble, the suppression of a higher-order lifeform, and also like the helplessness of facing a natural disaster.

"Save... Savior Apostle!" Countless people couldn't help but kneel, pressing their foreheads to the ground in the direction of Clarissa, murmuring.

They were terrified, wondering if someone had angered the Savior Apostle?!

Who was so blind! To dare to do such a thing!

Everyone attributed Clarissa's current state to "rage".

The Gewo King and the officials who were deliberating also knelt to the ground, while the kings on the "video" call were all confused.

The Gewo King dared not speak, only trembling where he stood.

Fortunately, it didn't last long, only about a dozen seconds.

Clarissa completed her "evolution," and the Aura around her body receded.

[Dragon Blood Warrior III - Calamity Wings] → [Dragon Blood Warrior IV - Calamity Wings] (Upgrade requires 50,000,000 source points).

The requirements for the next level were even more terrifying!

However, the boost from each level increase was also incredibly terrifying.

In terms of physical fitness alone, Clarissa's had already reached 682 points!

Her physical fitness had already exceeded the minimum threshold for a Titled Legend!

Theoretically speaking, she firmly belonged to the Titled Legend Rank!

And not just the level of someone who had just entered the Titled Legend Rank! Because, in her current situation, Clarissa was only in her normal state!

Not only that, this was just the change brought about by the System panel.

In reality, there were countless changes that the panel did not display.

Such as the leap in her life level!

Furthermore, after reaching [Dragon Blood Warrior IV], Clarissa's [Dragonkin Form] also had new changes. Previously, she only had dragon scales on her body and dragon pupils; at Rank 2, she grew dragon horns; at Rank 3, she grew dragon wings on her back.

Now that she had reached Rank 4, her dragon horns were longer, her dragon wings were larger, and the dragon scales on her body were finer and more numerous, providing an all-around boost. She also grew a dragon tail, her hands seemed to be wearing gloves with dragon claws—scales and claws—and the same was true for her feet.

Basically, at this point, Clarissa was just one step away from becoming a Dragon.

Her current form was basically the Peak of the [Dragonkin Form], with no possibility of further advancement. Any remaining changes would just be slight alterations in form, as well as significant enhancements to various abilities and effects.

Thanks to Clarissa this time, Tang Ziheng's source points exceeded 30,000,000!

"As expected of the ultimate employee! My dear Clarissa! You are truly amazing!" Tang Ziheng watched his source points jump; although Clarissa had increased by over three million.

But Tang Ziheng had increased by twenty million!

Why? Because the lion's share of the world-changing done by Clarissa was given to him by that world!

"In view of you earning so many source points for me... I'll give you another reward..." Tang Ziheng looked at the many source points on the System and decided to give Clarissa a small benefit.

Of course, he certainly wasn't spending his own money, but using his own power to grant Clarissa a wisp of the Origin of the Calamity Wings.

[God has granted you a wisp of the Origin of the Calamity Wings; your Bloodline power has been enhanced!]

The System suddenly prompted.

Clarissa was stunned for a moment, then instantly ecstatic.

God! "Fanaticism" erupted in Clarissa's eyes.

Was this God's mercy!

Clarissa reverently greeted and prayed to "God".

Then she felt that "wisp of the Origin of the Calamity Wings".

She discovered that a Bloodline indicator had appeared in the panel:

Bloodline: Calamity Wings: 12%.

Clarissa suddenly had a realization.

Rank 1 [Dragon Blood Warrior] could add 1% to the Bloodline of the Calamity Wings, Rank 2 added 2%, and so on.

So her current Rank 4 [Dragon Blood Warrior] was 10%, but it was displaying 12%, which clearly meant God had granted her 2% of the Bloodline power.

Clarissa became stronger, her physical fitness breaking through again to reach 725 points.

The higher the Bloodline level, the greater the geometric increase in power.

Can I... go toe-to-toe with an Ancient Demon God now? Clarissa thought secretly.

Immediately afterward, she walked out of the room, and as soon as she emerged, she saw the guards still kneeling on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Clarissa frowned, looking at the kneeling guards.

"Ah! Savior Apostle!" The guard looked up, saw Clarissa, and said in panic: "Did someone offend you?"

"Uh? No! What's wrong? What happened?" Clarissa asked, frowning again upon hearing this.

"Ah! It's like this..." The guard explained the situation.

"Oh! That! It's my fault; I just had a Breakthrough! My God granted me some power!" Clarissa said to the guard: "Go out and tell everyone not to panic!"

"Yes! Understood!" The guard was overjoyed upon hearing this; the Savior Apostle had achieved a Breakthrough! Her strength had advanced further!

The stronger Clarissa was, the better their lives would be! The greater the hope for the future!

How could this not make people happy!

When the guard relayed this news, it spread everywhere in just a few short minutes.

Countless people wept with joy! Especially the common people.

They believed that they could live here so peacefully and safely, with food and drink, and sleep without fear—all of it was brought to them by the Savior Apostle!

To them, Clarissa was their "God"!

And now that Clarissa had become stronger, their honor and disgrace were shared! Everything they had was tied to Clarissa.

From another perspective, isn't this the tragedy of small people?

Weakness is the original sin! Your life is not your own!

Meanwhile, the Gewo King also received this news, breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat back in his chair from the ground.

"Apologies! I've made a fool of myself!" The Gewo King smiled and said to the kings in the "video" call.

"It's fine, it's fine! This is a good thing!" Everyone spoke up, as they had also understood the full story of what happened.
