"Good ambition," Louis laughed.

To name a weapon after oneself is undoubtedly an honor, but it's also an immensely heavy decision.

Especially for legendary equipment like Alice's Blade.

If the name of the person isn't worthy of the level of the equipment, it might be remarked upon unfavorably by future generations for thousands of years to come.

Comparing it to the past, it's akin to the "Mount Tai Fengshan Devaluation Scandal" to make it clear.

Not to say leaving a bad name for all eternity, but it would become a joke whenever this legendary equipment is mentioned.

But on the other hand... if the name is worthy, this legendary weapon will become an important testament to Alice's legendary career, and it'll be truly "the legendary equipment honored by me."

Alice certainly doesn't want the former ending.

Affirming the name was obviously to show her determination to become legendary.

Seeing Louis's appreciative look, she raised an eyebrow and said:

"It seems you're not surprised?"

"This is something only someone like you, as the leader, could do. Why would I be surprised?"

"You do know me well, but... what does Her Majesty Beatrice mean by it all?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is the West Monet Kingdom really deciding to send support?"

"Could it be false?"

"That's an unspeakable existence only recorded in history books! You all truly have courage."

Louis's mouth twitched slightly, and he said strangely: "Do you think if we don't act, she can comfortably hide in there?"

The Jade Phoenix Alliance is still suppressing half of the Cosmic Serpent; Louis had to admit that Grand Speaker Tom of the Wise Council truly was a top-notch eccentric.

To blow up the demi-plane that sealed the Cosmic Serpent must have resulted from an unexplainable unexpected event.

After the Cosmic Serpent broke the seal and emerged, being able to risk everything to seal half of its body again was not a mere show of strength.

It could indeed be called fierce.

During the years the Cosmic Serpent was active on the Star Continent, how many top-tier powerhouses from various nations participated in the extermination battle.

And what a costly price was ultimately paid to seal it.

To put it bluntly, the Jade Phoenix Alliance back then didn't consist of just 13 Jade Phoenix Mages.

More powerhouses embarked on this path than in today's world.

More importantly, it's clear to the astute that the Jade Phoenix Mage's ability to easily expel otherworldly creatures wasn't purely from their own power; it was certainly the result of intervention from the Will of the Stars.

In other words, during the siege of the Cosmic Serpent, it seemed to be the lords besieging a hegemon on the surface, but in fact, there was a world's top-level VIP support from behind, the [Will of the Stars].

Grand Speaker Tom was quite unexpectedly able to seal half of its body with his life.

This also indicates that the power of the Star Continent's strong individuals has improved considerably compared to many years ago.

It is surely a depiction of spiraling upward.

However...

"The request from the Monet Kingdom has been approved, and now their borders are open. Once the time comes, we can directly enter their heartland and face the legend-symbolized calamity head-on."

Alice sighed and said, "Now I suddenly feel time has flown by so quickly. In just a few years, the entire continent has become chaotic."

"Your adventurer group will also participate, won't they?"

"Yes, we definitely will."

The Purgatory Wolf Adventurer Group was restructured a few years ago, shifting from regular mission mode to war mode.

In this situation, wherever there is war on the Star Continent, there will be the Purgatory Wolf.

"Will you go?" Louis looked at her, "This action in the Monet Kingdom will be very dangerous. I actually advise you not to go."

"Is it because of the vast difference in strength?" Alice said somewhat unwillingly.

Louis nodded and said, "It's a Divine Realm creature, and not the kind that descended like the Desolate Bone Monarch. Exemplars in front of it are just ants.

Just moving can deal a devastating blow to you. Actually, the exemplar-level powerhouses going this time won't be as many as you think.

Their purpose isn't even to battle the Cosmic Serpent, but merely to observe the battlefield situation and organize a quick evacuation of local residents. Even so, will you still go?"

"I will go," Alice said calmly, "Even if not participating directly in the frontline, at least let me understand the true strength of those most dangerous beings in the world today."

She solemnly stated, "That feeling of helplessness as a weakling only motivates me to strive for a higher level."

Louis nodded.

It's good she's thought it through.

...

That night.

Louis had a dream.

In the dream, he noticed countless twisted gigantic tentacles in the sky, dancing under the moonlight, a nauseating gaze that made him shiver was cast upon him.

"Rudelson..."

The twisted divine being seemed to sense a familiar aura, and its tentacles, extending into the endless darkness, retracted, reaching towards where Louis was like a clenched hand.

"Found you."

The overwhelming dread instantly woke him up with a start.

He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead: "Was it an illusion?"

Even though he said it, he was already on high alert. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

At his level, having dreams had become increasingly difficult.

With highly active Spiritual Power, his sleep time was less and less, and the chance of dreaming dropped significantly.

For a top-tier powerhouse to dream nowadays, it's considered as being "affected by an abnormal phenomenon" or "a sixth sense activation."

Louis's professional rank hadn't reached that level yet, but his overall strength was already sufficient.
