“Hmm, you know, while I’m out here I suppose I could visit those three,” Ben muttered as he walked through the hot city, trying his best to ignore the nearby volcano as he went through the streets of Nare’s lands. “I could get them one more level of connect while I’m here, maybe even easily so long as they’ve been practicing.”

<There’s really no need.> Nare told him, gently trying to give a bit of mercy to his granddaughter and the summoned of his nation. <Nati and Xilly are working hard, they haven’t been slacking.>

“Yeah, but seeing as how the world is ending we want them getting all of the growth they can, don’t we? Come on, send them over to the research center so I don’t need to find them. I’ll help them both get a quick level and then be on my way.”

<…Very well, I suppose it really would be for the best.>

“That’s the spirit, and is everyone else I asked for already at your church?”

<They are.>

“Cool.”

He picked up his pace as he heard that, making his way to the first church of Nare before letting himself in and finding fifty people waiting for him, all at his and their god’s request. People who either wanted strength or felt enough loyalty to the world to be willing to participate in what many would call a mad experiment to let Ben carry on the testing he couldn’t just do with the demons to see the further results of altering their base souls.

“Hello there, I’m the apostle of Myriad,” He greeted them brightly. “Sorry to keep you waiting, I believe Nare already gave you all the details of what’s happening but if you could all take out your cards so I could see them I’ll go over the details with you again before we start, okay?”

He got some nods and some rummaging as the people who were waiting for him pulled their cards from their pockets while he went around, not only looking at them but also secretly ruffling through their minds and memories to see the various other times they’d checked their cards in the past and how much time had passed between each one in order to create a rough evaluation of each of their natural growth rates to compare against for his tests, leaving him to smile in the end.
