Enhancement and excavation are two similar yet distinct concepts.
Enhancement is about elevating one's life form, while excavation involves delving deeper into one's existing power.
During excavation, by comprehending the essence of life and realizing it, one can then intervene using the Holy Grail to achieve enhancement.
The two are complementary.
Only after understanding the essence of life can one better perfect one's own fusion.
Maintaining this knowledge, a stream of data-like information continuously flowed within Rias's emerald eyes.
But that was not data, or rather, it could not be simply summarized as 'data'.
Several hours later, as the sky gradually darkened, Rias couldn't help but feel somewhat fatigued.
The improvement was significant; each time she gained something new, it always allowed her progress to accelerate further.
Even though the Chat Group couldn't send 'abilities' or directly grant the powers of others from scratch, it was still an extremely potent golden finger.
The prerequisite is knowing how to use it!
"Ahh~"
The luster returned to Rias's eyes as she unconsciously covered her mouth and yawned.
"Tired, Lady Rias?"
Nelliel gently stroked Rias's head as she spoke.
"Indeed, excavating one's own power is also a tiring task."
Rias said softly.
"Then shall we sleep together?"
Nelliel asked with a hint of anticipation.
"Mm, let's do that."
Rias smiled, turned around, and freed herself from the arms holding her.
Gently pushing Nelliel down onto the bed, Rias caressed her soft bosom and said with a smile, "But maintaining one position for hours is a bit exhausting. Let's do some exercise and move around before sleeping."
"Exercise?"
Nelliel tilted her head innocently. "How do we do that?"
Despite her extremely alluring body, she wore an expression of pure innocence.
Rias understood that she genuinely didn't know.
"Just relax."
Rias smiled, slowly leaned in, and gently captured her lips.
A Magic Formula activated, causing the clothes on Nelliel's body to tear apart.
Was this taking Issei Hyoudou's path, leaving him with no way forward?
Dress Break.
That was the name she remembered.
The trail of kisses moved downward, from lips to chin, neck, chest, waist, and thighs.
Skilled despite her small stature, Rias was gradually progressing down the path of becoming an experienced 'driver'.
Instinctively, a seductive sound burst from Nelliel's mouth.
Only after two hours did the two finally fall asleep in each other's embrace.
Early the next morning, after half an hour of morning exercise, Rias finally got up from the bed.
Too lazy to wash up, she used magic power to clean her body. After having breakfast with her parents, Sona, and Nelliel, Rias went to the courtyard.
Sona and Serafall were playing together, while Nelliel played with Toujou Kuroka. Rias lay in the courtyard, leisurely enjoying the breeze.
"I don't really feel like training today."
Rias stared blankly.
Perhaps due to the intensity last night, Rias felt somewhat fatigued.
Of course, it wasn't related to the activities in bed; those actually didn't quite satisfy Rias's sexual desires, as her appetite in that regard wasn't strong.
It was more about the instinctive pleasure from skin-to-skin contact and the satisfaction of the heart.
The 'intensity' referred to the excavation of her superpowers, or rather, her 'Sixth Sense'.
If energy and concepts represent an understanding of the world...
Then superpowers represent the excavation and understanding of oneself.
Coupled with her focus on excavating the mind and soul, this inner fatigue wasn't a sign of something wrong but rather a normal occurrence.
"Speaking of which, what should I do next?"
Rias thought for a moment and opened the Chat Group.
Someone was already chatting early in the morning.
Hinata Hyuga: "Good afternoon, everyone."
Theresia van Astrea: "Afternoon? Hmm, different time zones? It's already evening here; I'm about to sleep."
Unohana Retsu: "It's morning here~"
Jibril: "I'm not quite sure here, since it's covered in black ash."
"It's morning here~"
Rias's vacant eyes suddenly sparkled as she murmured, "Come to think of it, there's something I've been wondering about..."
The work 'Naruto' seems like a hot-blooded series, but it actually carries strong characteristics of Japan as a nation.
Class rigidity, sorrow beneath the hot-blooded surface, a messy view of history and values, and so on.
Among these, the most uncomfortable aspect is that the antagonists aren't purely villains.
Setting aside Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, who appears to be the mastermind behind the scenes, actually upholds 'filial piety' more strictly than anyone.
No matter what mistakes he made, being sealed alive by his own'son' for a thousand years is something worthy of criticism.
In other words, his values are skewed to the extreme, yet he considers himself righteous for upholding justice over family ties.
In reality, there must have been methods other than sealing.
Characters like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki from Naruto and Tiamat from the Fate series are tragic and lamentable figures.
Besides, the Ninja World is filled with many other tragedies.
For example, the protagonist of Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto.
As the son of the Fourth Hokage, perhaps even Minato Namikaze couldn't have imagined his son's childhood would be so miserable.
Even so, he maintained an optimistic and cheerful personality.
Although somewhat of a'saint', who really dislikes saints?
The concepts of'saint' and'sanctimonious person' are similar but differ greatly.
Saint: That person is so pitiful, I must go help.
Sanctimonious person: That person is so pitiful, you all must go help him.
A saint wants to help others and takes the initiative to do so.
A sanctimonious person, however, stands on the moral high ground demanding others help, but makes endless excuses when it's their turn.
Many people confuse these concepts, but the difference between them is substantial.
Although Uzumaki Naruto sometimes acts sanctimoniously, like asking people from the Hidden Cloud Village to forgive Uchiha Sasuke.
Or like forgiving Uchiha Obito.
Objectively speaking, from a fundamental standpoint, Uzumaki Naruto himself had no right to forgive him.
Setting that aside for now, from an objective perspective, despite some controversy, Uzumaki Naruto is indeed a very charming character.
As for whether Uzumaki Naruto was influenced by Asura's Chakra, no one can say for sure, but Rias tends to believe he overcame the darkness himself.
Because the darkness in Uzumaki Naruto's heart never disappeared; it was just hidden deep within.
As long as there is a sliver of light, he won't turn to darkness.
If such a person could receive better education and develop better values, his future would certainly be more interesting.
So, since I'm not in the mood to train now, I might as well do something interesting.
Rias was also very curious about which direction the Ninja World would develop without Uzumaki Naruto and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Rias: "@Hinata Hyuga, can you let me visit your world?"
Hinata Hyuga: "Hmm, how do we do that?"
"Ding~"
"Rias Gremory has applied to enter your world. Allow?"
"Yes/No."
After clicking the application and the system prompt appeared, Rias said, "Just click agree."
"Okay."
Instantly, Rias arrived in the Ninja World.
"Hello, little Hinata."
Snow was falling all around. The petite Rias greeted her gently and softly.
