Earth's Greatest Magus-Chapter 1442: Sovereign

What Klea just witnessed was a glimpse of a Domain, a manifestation of power that stemmed from a high comprehension of the Law of Sovereign. Such a manifestation could normally be seen from individuals at the grand magus level or above.

For Julian, however, his Law of Sovereign came from a unique source.

"It comes from the power of faith. The more people worship me, the more power I will be able to manifest. It will be more powerful and I will be able to use it for longer."

This talent was precisely the reason the Nephilims were fond of him, even to the point that during his time at the faction, they lent him a small planet for him to test his talent. There, he became the god of their kingdom for a few months.

Hence, the reason he became so much more powerful when he returned to the academy.

After explaining his power, Julian quickly added his goal to Klea.

"I don't need to be the sole ruler of the Earth. What I do need is for my name and my statutes to be spread all over the world. With how vast the Earth is, when all is said and done, I am confident I will be able to win against any one of the Kronos magus. That is my plan… what do you think?"

As those words left Julian's mouth, he continued to observe Klea's reaction.

Klea had actually read about it in the academy before. It was indeed a rare talent sought by many and the Nephilims' attitude towards it proved exactly that. Furthermore, just like her being a ruler of Egypt, it was normal for kings and queens to be worshiped like gods. And the fact that her friend could receive power through faith was certainly a good thing.

After analyzing the matter, she realized why Julian decided to show it to her. Klea's lips subconsciously formed a faint smile.

"All right, I will help you… it will be very hard with Thrax, but I could give a try to Emery and Chumo."

Julian's expression instantly lit up. He was so elated that, without thinking, he even ran up to hug her.

"Yes! Thank you, Klea! Thank you! You are the best!"

At this moment, Julian felt especially lucky to have such a supportive and understanding friend.

On the other hand, Julian's sudden hug caught Klea off-guard. Such a joyful moment was something Klea greatly sought. After a series of despair-inducing events, she wanted to embrace the warmth for a bit.

Though, it quickly became awkward after a few moments, so she finally let go.

Being able to read the atmosphere, Julian immediately understood. Still with a bright smile and even a hint of mischievousness on his face, the Roman diverted the attention back to the main subject.

"All right, let's discuss the details. We don't have much time to lose!"

Klea was flabbergasted. "Julian… we have 20 years."

"Exactly! Too soon for an immortal, don't you think?"

…

Klea stayed in Rome for a few weeks helping Julian improve the academy. Being the current queen of Egypt and a higher-up in the Alexandria library, she was able to arrange for hundreds of important scroll copies and dozens of scholars to be sent to Rome with ease.

With some of the knowledge she saw during her time at the Magus Academy, she helped build an institution beyond just an academy, a study for the advancement of the Earth's civilization.

First, she arranged to get what the academy desperately needed, the creation of ways to make studying much easier. A creation of papers and books.

All the scroll materials started to be switched from using animal skin to material from a plant called papyrus and started to be used for the study.

Next, she started researching better recipes for cement and concrete, ones that were stronger and could work best when submerged under water. This ultimately led to the creation of better roads, highways, bridges and aqueducts. A construct that could deliver water, the most basic of human needs, throughout the entire city.

Six months passed by in an instant. At this point, the academy construction had become much grander, with thousands of students receiving the best quality of education the Earth could offer.

Witnessing the fruits of everyone's labor and their impacts on the lives of others, Klea could not restrain the smile of satisfaction on her face. She was initially feeling a little anxious because there was still no news whatsoever from Britain, but the sight of everyone's smiles as their lives turned for the better somewhat relieved it.

She couldn't help but heave a deep sigh as she talked to the cat that was always by her side.

"What do you think, Tivali? Is he getting better? Should I go visit him?"

The human-cat pair made eye contact for a bit, but of course, the cat did not respond.

Klea sighed again. Although the cat could more or less understand what this human was talking about, it's not very sane of a human to talk to a cat.

At this moment, her thoughts were no longer filled with the reconstruction project, she realized she had not seen Julian for a bit. In fact, it had been a week since the two last met.

"Let's go visit him." She happily said to Tivali.

The sun was almost set when she heard of Julian's whereabouts. To her surprise, she found that Julian had his own project; a building was recently constructed thanks to the aqueduct project.

It was called the Roman Bath House.

As she walked through the place, she was quite mesmerized by its wonder, but once again, Klea found Julian in an awkward predicament. At this moment, the Protector of Rome was naked with a beautiful woman who Klea's knew was not his wife.

He was drinking and enjoying the fulfillment of his bodily needs.

"Ahh, Klea, you are here!"

Yet again, the same situation unfolded. Only this time, Julian introduces the beauty as his third wife.

Seeing what Julian was doing while she was busy doing their project, she couldn't help but frown.

"Seriously… which part of this building helps advance civilization?"

Julian sent his third wife away with a smile, before replying to the question casually.

"On the contrary, this is what the world needs. This is what we need…".

Facing the Egyptian Queen's silent look filled with judgment, the Roman Protector quickly added, "If you don't believe me, come enter and join me."
