Luo Hao admired Rin more and more. She had already decided that when she defeated him in the future, she would become sworn siblings with him and be his elder sister.
Afterward, Rin presented Luo Hao with a Dependent contract.
The terms were exactly as he had described, very lenient.
Aside from not betraying Rin or doing anything harmful to the Monster Nation, there were basically very few restrictions.
"Hmm, the conditions are quite reasonable and acceptable."
Luo Hao had essentially joined Rin's side, going out with him to expand and conquer.
Since this alliance had been formed, she naturally would not break the contract unilaterally.
Nor would she do something as despicable as letting her ally fight on the front lines while she deliberately held back.
"When can we leave?"
"Immediately."
Rin said, "Once my Dependents deal with that monkey and Susanoo hiding in the Netherworld, I will take you to the Cardinal World."
"That beast?"
Luo Hao no longer had any desire to personally kill Sun Wukong.
He was going to die anyway.
Whether he died by Rin's hand or hers made no difference.
It was simply cleaning house. As long as the one taking action was Chinese, she would not interfere.
As for what Rin planned to do next.
There was still nearly a month left in Sardinia.
He did not intend to waste time in the Campione World.
Of course, his clone would remain here.
However, he planned to first take Luo Hao, Yuri, Princess with Glass Eyes, and the others to the Cardinal World, and at the same time properly tally the gains from this trip.
That was right, there was no need to wait until all Authorities were collected before ending this journey.
In fact, he could return to the Cardinal World at any time.
"Hmm."
Luo Hao nodded. "Then I will take my leave for now. There are still some matters on the continent that need to be arranged."
Having finally obtained the opportunity to go to a higher-level world, she naturally wanted to stay there longer.
However, the Holy Cult of the Five Mountains and the Chinese magic world were ultimately her forces.
If she left without making arrangements, chaos would likely erupt.
Before leaving, she would give them a firm warning.
Luo Hao was never soft-hearted. She had always ruled China's inner world through absolute military suppression.
After watching her leave, Rin asked Violet, "Is this enough?"
"No need to defeat her?"
"The effect of the Dependent contract is the same."
Violet said, "And I have already obtained the Authority I wanted from her."
Luo Hao possessed many Authorities derived from Buddhism and Indian mythology.
Through them, Violet successfully obtained the Ultimate Skill of the Indian mythological system.
It should be noted that, like Biblical mythology and Hebrew mythology, or Taoist mythology and Chinese mythology, mythological systems belonging to religions such as Buddhism are often associated with their place of origin.
In terms of acquiring an Ultimate Skill, the two are essentially equivalent.
"What is the new Authority?"
"It is called [Brahman-Atman Unity]."
"Uh."
"Just from the name, I have no idea what kind of Authority it is. What does it do?"
"This is the highest state in Indian philosophical thought."
In Brahman-Atman Unity, Brahman refers to the universe itself, and Atman refers to individual will.
By merging individual will with universal will, one can comprehend all truths of the world, transcend the small self, and realize the greater self.
"The fundamental ability of this Authority is to allow you, Rin, to perceive all knowledge."
"Anything you see or hear, there will be nothing you cannot understand, comprehend, or see through."
In other words, Brahman-Atman Unity can elevate the Campione's realm to the extreme.
Its terrifying aspect lies in comprehension and enlightenment.
Once something is comprehended, any Authority, power, or technique can be deciphered.
If enlightened, one can understand all powers in the world and then master them.
"Similar to the simulation and replication of In the Name of the Father?"
"It is somewhat similar, but not the same."
Violet explained, "Brahman-Atman Unity is the ability to learn others' abilities from nothing and then master them."
"Whereas In the Name of the Father, although it can simulate Authorities it has seen, only In the Name of the Father itself improves."
If this process were compared to increasing skill proficiency.
When [In the Name of the Father] encounters Atlantis, during the simulation process, the proficiency gained applies only to In the Name of the Father, Proficiency 1/100.
As for Brahman-Atman Unity, it would grant a new skill and Authority called Lost Atlantis.
Brahman-Atman Unity itself has no concept of level or proficiency.
From the beginning, it is already maxed out, or rather, in a state that cannot be upgraded.
What can be studied and improved further is the newly acquired Lost Atlantis, Proficiency 1/100.
"Alright, I think I understand what you mean, Violet."
"In the Name of the Father is omnipotent but not omniscient. Brahman-Atman Unity is omniscient but not omnipotent."
"Yes."
Violet said, "In the Name of the Father can directly conjure a computer without knowing the manufacturing steps."
"Brahman-Atman Unity, on the other hand, first understands how to build a computer, and then uses that knowledge to create it."
Is the result more important, or is the process more important?
That is the difference between In the Name of the Father and Brahman-Atman Unity.
In addition, Brahman-Atman Unity has many other functions, such as bestowing curses and blessings.
Curses and blessings.
These are also among the most classic concepts in Indian mythology.
No matter how powerful a god or Buddha is, once cursed, they will encounter misfortune, or even die and disappear.
Even the Trimurti would be greatly affected.
Conversely, with a powerful blessing, even an Asura could ascend to the Heavenly Realm and challenge Shiva and Vishnu.
"Brahman-Atman Unity can create a series of Lila, guiding destiny as you wish toward the desired outcome."
"Lila?"
Rin recalled this concept.
In Indian mythology, Lila represents a profound spiritual pursuit and self-transcendence.
It is not merely a journey, but a symbol of spiritual progress, embodying the trials of individual spirit and faith.
The journey of Lila signifies the challenges and tests one faces on the path to discovering inner divinity.
