"If I can thoroughly research the essence of spirits and apply the Magic Formula to all butterflies, they will be able to self-divide."
Only when butterflies possess both growth and self-proliferation abilities can they truly be considered life.
Overall, there are currently only two subjects concerning spirits.
One is the self-proliferation of spirits, and the other is the energy conversion of spirits.
After all, they absorb magic power but produce the unique Spirit Power of spirits, which clearly involves the issue of energy conversion.
Perhaps, spirits are the source of producing Spirit Energy.
Of course, Fantasy Species and God Species are exceptions; the former creates its own world, and the latter are the embodiment of concepts themselves, so Spirit Power is naturally under their control.
"@Rias Gremory!"
The interface in her mind vibrated, catching Rias's attention.
Rias: "@Jibril, what's wrong?"
Jibril: "Divine Relics, are there any more?"
"Did you break it?"
Rias: "Isn't there the Arena?"
Jibril: "But, but you won't play with me!!"
"..."
Arena, for combat~
At least two people are required to open the Arena. With more than two people, melee mode and team mode can be started.
Jibril couldn't open the Arena alone, so even though she was careful, she accidentally broke the Divine Relic she traded for.
However, why don't we play with you? Don't you know in your heart?
Jibril: "So boring, I want to play with you too!"
"There are two conditions."
Rias: "First, you have to promise not to attack us."
"Okay~"
Jibril: "Anyway, I won't get their heads, so there's no point in attacking~"
"That's why you're not well-liked."
Rias said speechlessly, "Even if you claim to be a weapon, you have self-awareness and should be able to distinguish between friend and foe."
"At least until you can interact as a friend, rather than as 'prey' whose head you temporarily can't hunt, I won't reject you."
"...Hmm."
Jibril rolled around in the air, feeling a bit guilty. Reading Rias's message, she couldn't help but scratch the back of her head, somewhat dejectedly saying, "Wasn't I completely seen through?"
For her, only the Flugel themselves could be considered companions.
Other races, even the Fantasy Species and God Species whose sequence was above theirs, were merely prey.
It could be said that their minds only held three concepts: Artosh as their Lord, the Flugel as companions, and others as prey—
At most, add the Lord's Messenger, the Flugel capital, and the Fantasy Species Avant Heim~
There was no such concept in her mind, so peaceful coexistence was truly difficult.
"I'll try, this might be something that happens sooner or later."
Jibril murmured, even she had to admit that Rias's progress speed was extremely abnormal.
As if without limits, who knows when even she herself would be surpassed.
Moreover, that Fusion Equation... its effect after an attack was too astonishing, increasing the power of ordinary attacks by more than tenfold.
It's hard to imagine how powerful the third stage of the Fusion Equation would be once completed.
Perhaps, as Rias said, its power could shake the 'Lord', Artosh!
And Rias, who created such a Magic Formula, inherently possessed the qualification to be taken seriously by Jibril.
It was precisely because of this that such a thought arose in her.
Jibril: "I'll try my best~"
"Alright~"
Rias: "@Unohana Retsu, what do you think?"
Unohana Retsu: "Well, if Miss Jibril can control her behavior, I don't mind."
In fact, Unohana Retsu didn't dislike Jibril, because she was too pure.
That kind of purity made Unohana Retsu somewhat envious.
Unohana Retsu even proactively challenged Jibril, but Jibril quickly lost interest and simply dealt with her~
For Jibril, Unohana Retsu was simply too weak.
This weakness was not only compared to the energy level but also the gap in racial talent.
Jibril's life level was too much higher than a Shinigami's; Unohana Retsu couldn't threaten Jibril at all.
No, just based on racial characteristics, Unohana Retsu's full-power slash couldn't leave the slightest mark on Jibril~
Although the Shinigami, a Other World race, would increase the rarity of a head, Jibril had lost interest in Unohana Retsu when she couldn't obtain it.
This is truly a sad story~
Only someone like Rias, who immediately seemed to have infinite potential, would attract Jibril's attention~
"In that case, I'll send an Arena invitation."
Rias: "It just so happens that there are many aspects of the Flugel's core Magic Formula that I find difficult to understand. Let me study your body, and in return, I will help you adjust the Formula of the Equation."
"Hmm, that sounds so lewd~"
Jibril: "But okay~"
Rias: "Don't push the baby carriage!"
"Ding~"
"Rias Gremory invites you to the Arena, Melee Mode—"
"Accept~"
The next instant, Jibril's consciousness went to the Arena.
For the outside world, the time spent in the Arena, no matter how long, ultimately felt like an instant.
However, this instant did not include members of the Chat Group.
So, in a sense, the time in their three worlds was not entirely synchronized.
At least, Jibril could observe all of Rias's experiments from the Arena.
Yes, observing~
"Wow, Little Rias is getting cuter and cuter~"
Jibril flew over and couldn't help but rub Rias's cheek.
"Red hair, ah, truly beautiful~"
Jibril said, a trace of saliva involuntarily appearing at the corner of her mouth, looking very covetous.
"Don't forget what I told you."
Rias rolled her eyes at Jibril.
She understood at a glance that Jibril was simply coveting her head.
"Ehehe, ehehehe~"
Jibril scratched the back of her head, trying to cutely muddle through.
"You Flugel like to flaunt heads as trophies. But no matter what, after death, they only retain the value'symbolizing' a trophy. For friends, don't you think living ones are more valuable?"
Rias couldn't help but say.
"Hmm, that's true," Jibril thought for a moment and said, "It's just that I never had such a thought before~"
"After all, the only exception that could stand on equal footing with the Flugel was Avant Heim~"
After all, he was Artosh's Messenger~
"Now there's Rias-chan~"
"So I'll try my best~"
"Hmm, that's good." Rias nodded.
No matter how unique Jibril's values were, as long as she was willing to humble herself and try to change, Rias would not reject her.
What's more, Jibril is also a cute girl~
Although the Flugel, like the Ex-Machina, has no reproductive function~
But two girls, don't need it, right?
