NOVEL NEXT Chapter 73: Contract
"It's a perfect closed loop!"
Rin asked: "What about the last one? What kind of ability is World Avatar?"
As Rin's words fell, a beautiful figure appeared before him, precisely in the image of Violet Evergarden from his memories.
"Thanks to the magicules you bestowed, I am able to accompany you in this form."
"Additionally, this body can return magicules to you."
At this point, Violet seemed to worry that Rin hadn't understood and explained: "Returning magicules does not mean my regression."
"After the magicules are returned, this body will collapse."
"But this is only temporary," Violet said, "With the passage of time, I can absorb magicules from the Cardinal World until this body reaches its maximum magicules storage capacity."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Rin inexplicably had a sense of déjà vu: "Isn't this—like..."
"Yes, it's just like the Storm Dragon within Rimuru."
As a World's Spirit born from Rin's origin, Violet possessed all the knowledge her Creator mastered, which naturally included the anime and novels Rin had watched.
"You can think of this portion of magicules as a recoverable reserve."
Violet: "It will take roughly half a month to complete the replenishment from 0 to 200,000."
"So that means..."
"Yes."
Violet: "This means you can receive an additional 200,000 magicules from me every month."
"..."
Just from the information Violet revealed, Rin could think of several ways to use this magicules.
For example, taking it out for naming monsters.
Or, in combat, having Violet fuse with him to use their combined magicules.
"Is 200,000 the limit?"
"No."
Violet shook her head slightly: "Both the upper limit and the recovery speed are only for the current stage."
"Limited by my strength, my World Avatar cannot yet compare to the infinite magicules of Dragon Kind."
The magicules recovery speed of the Cardinal World's Dragon Kind is practically a bug.
In the original work, Rimuru named 200,000 Orc Clan members at once and only needed to rest for a period before recovering to his peak.
That was 200,000! Even if the dilution ratio between high-level and low-level magicules was very high, it would be impossible to complete the naming of 200,000 Orc Clan members.
To put it bluntly, even if each Orc Clan member only consumed 1,000 magicules, that would be a massive expenditure of 200 million!
What is the concept of 200 million magicules?
Even late-game Rimuru, after fusing with two Dragon Kind, barely reached this level.
How could a mere Demon Lord Seed-level Rimuru possess so much magicules?
Other than the Storm Dragon, Rin thought of nothing else.
"Rimuru has the Storm Dragon, and I have Violet!"
Although they cannot compare for now, Violet will continue to grow, and that is the power of the World Avatar ability.
"Will consuming this magicules have any negative effects on you, Violet?"
"No, it will not."
Violet would not fall into slumber because 200,000 magicules was depleted, at most, she would lose the ability to manifest an avatar.
In any case, Violet could recover in at most half a month.
"Actually, as long as the magicules consumed each time does not exceed half, the avatar can live normally."
"That's good."
Rin naturally hoped that Violet would live with him like a real person.
If he directly consumed the magicules every time it became available, wouldn't Violet never be able to condense a physical form?
Rin would never do such a thing.
"This magicules must be used for naming."
Rin was not someone who liked to do unprofitable business, naming was an investment.
Only if there was a profit would naming have meaning.

...
"The attributes are getting more luxurious."
Rin turned his attention to the magicules column: "205,000 magicules."
"When one's magicules exceeds 200,000, they can obtain the title of Demon Lord."
"In the original work, Clayman, Carrion, and Queen Frey generally had around 300,000 to 400,000 magicules."
In other words, the current Rin already possessed strength comparable to the bottom three of the Ten Great Demon Lords.
"This doesn't even account for the Direwolves."
Rin had no intention of letting these Direwolves go.
Direwolves possessed the characteristic of 'whole is individual', that is, naming one of them was equivalent to naming all individuals simultaneously.
Of course, this naming method certainly differed from normal individual naming.
Just the magicules consumption alone was much less than normal naming.
Here, it must be explained the difference between Rin's newly acquired Unique Skill, "Convergence," and "Leader."
"Unique Skill: Convergence" would not increase the proportion of magicules that followers of different ranks could provide.
Followers provided 1-3%, named monsters 15%, and dependents 50%.
The original proportions remained the same, unchanged by the skill upgrade.
However, between the originally vast gap of named monsters and dependents, "Unique Skill: Convergence" once again provided a new rank.
Kinsmen!
Intermediate between named monsters and dependents, they could provide Rin with a 30% feedback of total magicules.
Kinsmen targets needed to be personally selected and bound by Rin.
