Chapter 819: Chapter 819: Final Authority
With a foundation of level 5 affection, whether Nolan went to chat with Kiana or asked her to show him around the lunar base, it no longer felt abrupt.
After a few days, he successfully maxed out her affection and obtained an Affection Skill called "Final Authority."
This skill allowed Nolan to gain the ability to command all other authorities, greatly enhancing them.
Moreover, he would become partially immune to attacks powered by authority, and could even fuse different authorities together to unleash a final strike capable of overturning the universe.
Kiana’s Affection Skill was extremely powerful, pushing Nolan one step further along the path of invincibility.
After maxing out Kiana’s affection, the next was Mei.
While spending time at St. Freya Academy and the lunar base, Nolan had naturally come into contact with many of the other girls, slightly increasing their affection toward him.
Especially Mei. As a teacher at the academy, whenever she wasn’t out on missions to eliminate Honkai beasts, she spent most of her time instructing Valkyries and training herself.
Nolan would "happen" to pass by the Valkyrie training grounds, see Mei practicing swordsmanship, and then spar with her.
After several such encounters, Mei’s affection for him naturally reached the maximum without him even realizing it.
Mei’s Affection Skill was "Herrscher of Thunder," granting Nolan authority over lightning. Electromagnetic force, electromagnetic waves, electrons, and anything related to electricity could all be controlled.
It also provided various enhancements to lightning-based power and granted immunity to all lightning attacks.
With the boost from Kiana’s "Final Authority," within the domain of lightning, there was basically no one who could rival Nolan.
Using similar methods, Nolan continued interacting with the girls, eventually maxing out the affection of Bronya, both Seeles (the surface personality and the inner personality), Theresa, Durandal, Rita, Fu Hua, Senti, Li Sushang, and Griseo.
As for Murata Himeko, Elysia, Mobius, Eden, Aponia, Vill-V, and Sakura, it was even simpler.
Since they were Heroic Spirits summoned by Nolan, he only needed them to stay by his side for a few days for their affection to naturally reach the maximum.
Among them, Bronya’s Affection Skill was called "Truth Reconstruction." As long as it was something he understood, he could construct it using this ability.
It was a direct embodiment of the phrase "knowledge is power."
Seele’s Affection Skill, on the other hand, was "Superposition of Life and Death." When activated, it placed Nolan in a state between life and death, making him unaffected by any "living" or "dead" entities.
At the same time, he could use the "power of death" to control all things that had died, and use the "power of life" to revive them.
The other Seele (her inner personality) had an equally powerful Affection Skill called "Guardian of the Other Shore." It allowed Nolan to designate certain targets and act as their protector, absorbing any form of attack they were about to receive.
These attacks would be categorized and stored within a "Other Shore" space he created, then automatically fused into various types of treasures and material resources. It was an ability with extremely strong "productive" capability.
Theresa’s Affection Skill is called "Oath of Schicksal." It allows Nolan to assign a "destiny" to others. As long as their actions align with that destiny, they will receive feedback from "destiny energy," increasing their strength.
For example, if Nolan assigns someone the destiny of a "courier," then as long as they deliver packages, they will gain destiny energy and grow stronger.
From this, Nolan can obtain ten percent of the destiny energy they gain as his own benefit, which can also be used to enhance himself.
It is essentially another pathway for Nolan to grow stronger.
After Theresa came Durandal. Upon maxing out her affection, the skill he obtained was called "One Who Surpasses the World." Its effect was simple, yet incredibly powerful.
As long as one trains diligently, improvement is guaranteed, in any aspect. If others train together with him, they can also benefit from this effect.
Every half month, the improvement will never be less than one percent of the current level. Given enough time, Nolan could surpass everything through training alone.
It was easy to imagine just how outrageous Durandal’s Affection Skill was.
Since Rita was often by Durandal’s side, while Nolan was building Durandal’s affection, he was also naturally raising Rita’s affection.
Right after Durandal, Nolan maxed out Rita’s affection as well.
The Affection Skill he obtained was called "Exclusive Maid," which granted special effects when Rita acted as his maid.
For example, if she cooked for him, different dishes would grant effects such as increased stamina recovery or enhanced physical strength.
If she warmed his bed or stayed close with him, it could improve sleep quality, boost cultivation efficiency, and more. It had a wide range of versatile functions.
Basically, any behavior fitting that of a maid could provide buffs to Nolan.
Next was Fu Hua’s Affection Skill, called "Immortal Phoenix." This was a state-type ability. When activated, it granted the trait of rebirth through flames, along with enhancements to all aspects of ability.
It was similar to Firefly’s Affection Skill, and the two could even be stacked together. The resulting power was almost unimaginable!
After that came Senti’s Affection Skill, "Herrscher of Sentience," which granted control over consciousness, the ability to bestow consciousness, and other related powers, similar to Mei and Bronya’s abilities.
They all essentially granted the powers that they themselves possessed.
As for Li Sushang on Honkai Earth, Nolan gained a large amount of her affection by "reviving" her mother and master, summoning them from the past as Heroic Spirits.
Then, by simply asking her to accompany him around Honkai Earth, he easily maxed out her affection.
Her Affection Skill was called "Supreme Freedom Sect," an ability that required management to provide bonuses.
First, Nolan needed to establish a sect. Places like a library would provide special buffs, and the more numerous and stronger the disciples were, the stronger Nolan, as the sect master, would become.
In simple terms, it was a sect-building system.
After that came Griseo. By summoning the Flame-Chasers as Heroic Spirits, he had already gained a large amount of her affection. After maxing it out, he obtained the Affection Skill "Sleeping Beauty: Fifty Thousand Years of Slumber."
This allowed Nolan to gain an increase in strength each time he woke up from sleep, with the magnitude tied to the duration of his sleep. The longer he slept, the greater the improvement.
Further down, the Affection Skills of girls like Elysia and the other Flame-Chasers each had their own unique characteristics, all of which Nolan was very satisfied with.
Moreover, during these past two months, not only had he maxed out the affection of many girls, but he had also successfully raised his level to 240.
He was now not far from surpassing the Aeon of "Nihility."
