Chapter 539

A scorching and blinding blaze surged forth, and Lust of the Monarch erupted in an instant. Unlike Chu Zihang’s Lust of the Monarch, Lao Tang’s version was virtually instantaneous. This was a phenomenon that defied the laws of Spirit Voice theory. The more powerful a Spirit Voice was, the more preparation time it required. For instance, Minamoto Wakasei’s Royal Authority required Caesar and Chu Zihang to buy him time by holding off a horde of Ghouls when he used it to suppress them; or take Erii’s Judgment—when killing enemies, Erii would chant the incantation of Judgment, awakening the power of Judgment to precisely lock onto her target; or perhaps legendary apocalyptic-level Spirit Voices like Rhine or Shiva's Dance... all of them demanded prolonged deliberation.
