Looking at the ability values that Loki had just translated, at this moment, whether it was the three leaders of the Loki Family or the officers like Aiz, all fell into a deathly silence.

The location was in Loki's divine chamber.

Rigel, who had been brought here, had his ability values thoroughly exposed with Loki's cooperation, just as he had intended.

The pillars of the family gazed at the parchment held by Finn, their breathing gradually becoming erratic as they read the ability values.

Especially Aiz, her gaze was almost fixed on the skill "Fool's Obsession," or rather, on the effect "Significantly increase growth rate." At some point, her hand had unconsciously clenched.

The crowd could only exchange glances, their eyes frequently moving between Rigel and the parchment in Finn's hand, feeling dizzy.

There was no way around it.

The information contained in Rigel's ability values was simply too much, too overwhelming, leaving them no choice but to fall into confusion.

Among all present, only Rigel remained calm from start to finish.

As for Loki, she wore a mischievous grin, clearly enjoying the spectacle.

"As you can see, this boy has astonishing potential. Not only did he awaken a magic and three skills from the start, but both his magic and skills are quite unique," Loki said, spreading her hands. "That's why his growth rate is so fast. I can assure you that he only received my blessings three days ago and had no blessings before that."

Loki's words, however, did not break the silence but rather made it even more profound.

However, Rigel's status in the eyes of those present was gradually changing.

Finn let out a bitter laugh.

"I thought he was just a promising newcomer, but it seems we severely underestimated him."

Finn was well aware that if Rigel truly possessed the magic and skills recorded on the parchment, his existence would mean something significant.

Not just Finn, but even the elders of the family, Levia and Grace, understood this.

"Could it be that the legend of the sole '7' in all Orario will be broken by this boy?"

Grace's mutter sent shockwaves through everyone's hearts.

——— "7".

This was a level that no one in the Loki Family had ever reached, and even in all of Orario, only one person had achieved it.

That person was regarded as the ultimate weapon of Orario, a legendary figure on par with ancient heroes, enjoying fame worldwide.

Finn, Levia, and Grace had been striving for that realm for countless years but had yet to succeed.

The Loki Family was also filled with talented individuals. Whether it was Bert, the twin sisters Tiona and Tione, who had become first-tier adventurers at a young age, or Aiz, who held the record for the fastest ascent to level 2, all were considered geniuses with world-class potential.

However, in the eyes of the three leaders, the chances of these geniuses reaching level 7 were slim, with only Aiz having a slightly better chance.

But now, in Rigel's ability values, the crowd saw the possibility of breaking through to that level.

At least, the three leaders, led by Finn, had this feeling.

In such a situation, Rigel could no longer be simply described as a "promising newcomer."

He was clearly a supernova with the potential of a hero.

The crowd looked at Rigel again, their eyes filled with various complex emotions.

"Tch!"

Bert couldn't hold back a click of his tongue, then turned and stomped away in frustration.

"Where are you going?"

Levia asked, frowning at Bert's back.

"The Dungeon."

Bert replied coldly, not even turning around as he walked away.

"Be careful not to leak it, Bert." Loki's grin remained, but her eyes opened slightly. "I've classified Rigel's ability values as the highest secret of the family. I only intended to mention it to Finn, but since Rigel doesn't mind you knowing, I've allowed it. Don't slip up, okay?"

Bert stopped in his tracks.

He was well aware of how important a person's ability values were.

If exposed, it could lead to extremely fatal situations if targeted.

Especially for someone like Rigel, with such extraordinary magic and skills, if his information were to leak, he would almost certainly be targeted by the Loki Family's enemies or even by those with ulterior motives.

Given this possibility, it was rare for a person's detailed ability values to be revealed to anyone outside their closest family, even within the same family.

Bert himself was like this; even within the family, few knew all of his abilities.

If it were Rigel, he should have kept his ability values a secret, even from the family leaders and officers. Only Finn, as the family leader, would have known a bit of the details, and it would have been understandable for him to keep it secret from the rest.

Yet, Rigel chose to reveal it.

Including to someone like Bert, who had a bad attitude and could be considered quite unpleasant.

Realizing this, Bert clicked his tongue again.

"Who would do such a stupid thing!"

Leaving those words behind, Bert's steps became even more violent and hurried as he left the divine chamber.

Tiona and Tione exchanged glances and also turned to leave.

"Where are you going?"

Levia asked, somewhat exasperated.

"The Dungeon."

The twin sisters answered almost in unison.

Seeing Tiona and Tione leave as well, Levia rubbed her temples in frustration.

"Those guys, they just returned from an expedition yesterday and have work to process the spoils today, yet they just abandon it and run to the Dungeon. What's going on?"

Levia's sigh was met with a chuckle from Grace.

"They must have been stimulated, those kids."

Grace hit the nail on the head.

Bert, Tiona, and Tione were indeed stimulated.

Stimulated by Rigel's inhuman potential.

Stimulated by Rigel's growth rate.

"Are they worried about being overtaken by a junior, realizing there's a monster chasing after them?"

Loki giggled, looking like she was enjoying the chaos.

"Did you deliberately stimulate them, knowing this would happen?"

Finn looked at Loki helplessly.

"Well, isn't it good?" Loki said with a carefree laugh. "Perhaps this will bring new vitality and motivation to the family. It's exciting to think about."

"You gods just love to see such unpredictable developments," Grace said, somewhat discontentedly. "Now, the work of processing the spoils falls entirely on us old folks. Do these kids not know how to take care of the elderly?"

"Let it be. Since it's come to this, let them go," Levia said, shaking her head. She then looked at Rigel, her tone softening. "Thank you for revealing your detailed ability values. Don't worry; despite their hasty and agitated appearance, they know their limits and won't casually expose your information."

"I know," Rigel replied with a calm smile. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to reveal it."

Based on his understanding of the original work and the leaders and officers of the Loki Family, Rigel believed that everyone present was trustworthy.

Even Bert, with his bad attitude, Rigel knew he had a good heart, just with a difficult past that made him harsh towards others.

That's why Rigel chose not to hide his ability values.

This was also for future development.

After all, he would need to seek guidance from these family seniors in the future.

Whether it was magic or combat skills, Rigel had much to learn. Displaying his potential and gaining the attention of the family leaders and officers was a necessary step.

Loki seemed to see through this, her thoughts churning.

"This kid wasn't like this when he first received my blessings three days ago."

At that time, Loki thought Rigel might not easily fit into the family, but who would have thought he would start showing his value to the entire family leadership and officers right away? He was quite shrewd.

Finn also saw Rigel's intention to seek guidance and said, "You can always ask us for help. We would be happy to guide someone with your limitless potential."

Levia and Grace nodded in agreement.

"Thank you."

Rigel bowed in gratitude to everyone.

Unbeknownst to him, Aiz, who had remained silent, was watching him.

Her eyes were filled with envy.
