The Sky Father, Dragon of Destruction, and the Darkest Abyss. These three were mythical-grade Nixes, surpassing legendary grade, the highest rank among Nixes. They stood as the mightiest and wisest Nixes known. In a world where people relied heavily on Nixes for nearly everything, Helion declared that he would confront the top three without relying on Nixes.

Andre couldn't help but be shocked by his audacity. He also wondered if he had joined the wrong powerhouse. He felt no loyalty to Apollon; he had joined the organization because it was one of the top four powerhouses in the world. However, it seemed to him that Apollon was heading towards its own destruction.

As if sensing Andre's thoughts, Helion smiled. "I know this sounds crazy, but I can convince you that this seemingly insane idea is achievable on my own. Do you see the people in the penthouse? They are influential individuals with high status and power from all over the world. They're here to invest in my cause."

Andre couldn't help but be curious. He also found it amusing that the boss went to such lengths to explain things to him, as if Helion truly wanted him to join his cause. "Could you tell me more about your idea, boss?"

Helion smiled. Just as he was about to explain, Komucha's cage suddenly fell to the floor, capturing his attention. "Ah, were you attempting to escape, perhaps? That would be futile. That cage is equipped with anti-ability technology. Although, you might be able to escape in your envoy form."

Helion suddenly adopted an enlightened expression. "Ah, yes. We were discussing Komucha, weren't we? You see, Elemental Envoys are quite unique. They possess the ability to disguise themselves as another Nix. That's why your otherworldly system can't read his true information."

Komucha punched the cage and retorted, "You're out of your mind. I don't know anything about this envoy thing."

Helion rubbed his chin, deep in thought. "Hm, it appears you're not lying. But don't fret. My information can't be wrong. Allow me to awaken your true form if you can't recall it."

Helion retrieved a bronze medallion from the drawer of his desk and approached Komucha. He glanced at Andre and elucidated, "This is a Nix Artifact with the power to elevate a Nix to a higher grade. It's single-use only. When I employ this on the envoys, they will shed their false guise and unveil their true form because they cannot evolve while in their false state."

"These envoys are quite fascinating. How powerful are they?" Andre inquired.

"Hm, I'm curious as well. I've received numerous reports of their abilities. Given their eternal life, they likely have sacrificed themselves many times. However, in their prime, they were as formidable as legendary-grade Nixes. As for the current envoy, let's assess his strength," Helion remarked.

"Hm, are you planning to summon the envoy here in your office?" Andre asked.

"Ah, it'll be fine. Nowhere is safer than my office. Please remain quiet for a moment. I'm trying to recall the mantra to activate the artifact." Helion replied, focused.

Helion suddenly recalled the mantra and began to chant it, "Swing and turn. Disperse the darkness. Illuminate the path where light reigns. With this treasure, I summon the Eight Karats Bronze Medallion."

The bronze medallion began to emit light. Typically, only Nixes could wield Nix artifacts. However, the Eight Karats Bronze Medallion was unique. As it solely benefited Nixes, it had stringent activation criteria. Only ownerless Nixes could benefit from its effects, and humans had to chant a mantra to activate it.

Once activated, the bronze medallion began to vanish into thin air, transferring all its light into Komucha.

Komucha began to undergo a transformation. His body radiated light and expanded in size. The iron cage surrounding him crackled with electricity, attempting to shock him, but to no avail. Komucha's form continued to swell until he shattered the iron cage.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Helion immediately leaped backward, watching with amusement as Komucha's body expanded.

Andre wore a panicked expression and exclaimed, "Boss, are you sure this room is safe?"

"It's fine. My room is equipped with powerful protections capable of containing even unique-grade Nixes. We should be secure," Helion assured him.

Just then, the alarm in the room sounded, and red lights flashed. The Nix heads on the walls opened their mouths, releasing various types of weapons. However, before these weapons could be activated, Komucha let out a roar and hurled giant earth spikes across the room, destroying every weapon in its path.

One of the massive spikes hurtled towards Helion, but he remained composed. Just as the spike was about to strike him, it suddenly shattered into pieces and turned into debris.

A man in a black jacket landed in front of him, his head obscured by a hood and his face concealed by a mask. He carried a black sword.

"Boss, you're being reckless. You've demolished your office once more," the man in the hood remarked.

"I thought our defense system was robust," Helion replied.

"It was supposed to be, but you're aware that your room is still under repair because another envoy wrecked it when you attempted to abduct them," the man in the hood explained.

"I explicitly instructed the management to repair my room. Why haven't they done it yet?" Helion inquired.

"Boss, money can't buy time," the man responded.

"Fair point."

"Anyway, boss, you need to leave. Let me handle this," the man in the hood insisted.

"No, I want to ensure we capture the envoy this time," Helion insisted.

"Uh, then I won't protect you if something goes wrong. We're dealing with a Nix that's as strong as unique-grade Nixes here," the man in the hood warned.

"Haha, I'll be fine as long as you're here," Helion chuckled.

As they conversed, Komucha's body nearly filled the entire room. His form ceased emitting light, unveiling his true appearance.

Komucha's true form was that of a giant capybara with steel-like claws and a fluffy tail. Four enormous bone spikes protruded from his back, forming an X shape. His size nearly filled the entire room.

Andre curiously examined the information and widened his eyes in surprise when he discovered that the Nix in front of him was indeed an extra-grade Nix. Moreover, his name was no longer Komucha; it was Therasus.

Therasus glared at Andre and Helion alternately, his eyes ablaze with anger. "You have awakened my true form. You will regret it."

Red electricity crackled from Therasus, and he emanated a powerful pressure that immediately forced Andre to his knees.

"This is [Overlord Intent]!" Andre exclaimed. This pressure wasn't like the force emitted by Reignclaw. It was several times stronger. Yet, Helion and the man in the hood remained unaffected.

Andre immediately recognized that these two individuals were indeed on a different level than him. When Nix Masters contracted powerful Nixes, they gained a certain degree of resistance against negative effects and increased endurance. This allowed them to fight alongside their formidable Nixes or simply to survive when their Nixes engaged in battle.

"Let me handle this," the man in the hood said.

When the man spoke, Andre assumed he would summon his Nix. To his surprise, the man charged toward Therasus alone.

Andre's shock heightened further when the man kicked Therasus, sending him crashing against the wall.

Andre couldn't help but feel puzzled. How could a man become this strong? Not only that, he just realized that the black sword the man was carrying was a Nix Artifact, which was theoretically impossible for humans to wield.

Therasus was shocked to be attacked by a human, but he quickly regained his footing. Rising to his hind legs, he raised his front legs and swiped at the man in the hood, who swiftly dodged the attack.

Growing angrier, Therasus unleashed his full power. The bone spikes on his back emitted light, and suddenly, the floor, walls, and roof began to tremble as they transformed into giant spikes. These enormous spikes erupted from every surface, spreading across the room and destroying it in an instant.

Locci relished the sensation of soaring through the sky. It felt utterly natural to him, as if he were born for it. With ease, he manipulated the clouds beneath him, using them as his own personal wings. He effortlessly dispersed them, creating the illusion of a solitary cloud gracefully traversing the heavens.

Locci's flight matched the swiftness of birds, enabling him to span the entirety of the island. Departing from Wolfland, he glided over the expanse of the frozen sea.

As he soared, Locci pondered his destination. Winterhold sprawled across the horizon, an immense archipelago boasting thousands of islands. While aware of the main islands, he harbored a preference for unspoiled terrain untouched by human hands. The allure of discovering a pristine, untouched island lingered in his mind. He wondered if such a hidden gem awaited his discovery amidst Winterhold's vast expanse.

"Ah, of course. Necklace, could you please show me the internet?" Locci inquired. He was confident he could gather information from the vast network. It was time to utilize the necklace's capabilities and access the internet.

"Certainly, master. I will display the internet for you," the necklace responded in an androgynous tone. A blue screen materialized before his eyes, revealing the search engine of this world known as Nuggle.
