Village Head's Debauchery-Novel

Eagerly, Stronghold Leader Seth grabbed the fiery red mask while Stronghold Leader Zogar claimed the grey one, placing them on their faces with anticipation.

Meanwhile, the former Village Chief and the others watched keenly, curious about the masks' purpose. They understood that, since there were only four masks, they were meant for the territory's four strongest individuals: Stronghold Leaders Zogar and Seth, Orion, and Fifi. They decided to wait patiently to learn about it.

The masks adhered to Stronghold Leader Seth and Zogar, covering their entire head. They experienced the ssensations Orion had until the masks halted their movements, allowing them to see through the darkness.

"What's this?" Stronghold Leader Seth exclaimed, surprised by the glowing red numbers on Orion's and Fifi's masks.

Even Stronghold Leader Zogar couldn't hide his astonishment as he looked at Orion, awaiting an explanation.

"The mask is called the Energy Mask Spectrometer, and the numbers you're seeing are the BEM—Base Energy Measurement," Orion explained, delving into the mask's various functions.

As they listened, Stronghold Leaders Zogar and Seth were astounded by his words. Had they not worn or seen the equipment, they would have found it hard to believe such a device could exist. Their admiration for Seraphina and the Healer's Association Leaders deepened in that moment.

Despite their formidable strength, they understood that without the Healers' innovative inventions, they would not have reached their current level of power or growth.

The former Village Chief and the others, waiting nearby and listening to the conversation, couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock and astonishment.

"Such a thing is possible?" Seig pondered, his brows furrowing in disbelief. Among the mask's many functions, the one that stood out most was its ability to accurately gauge a person's capabilities through their aura without testing their prowess directly.

As a god's chosen who had met and battled countless individuals, he understood how frustrating it could be to determine someone's strength, especially when they cfrom another race or used a different form of energy. This function could entirely solve that issue.

After the advent of the Vylkr Fusion Armlet, an advanced and more powerful version of their Devourer's bracelet, and now the Energy Mask Spectrometer, Seig was confident that the brilliant minds behind these innovations would be highly sought after by various high-grade Runaway Cities, or even Sanctuaries.

Evadne shared her Captain's sentiments, recognizing that the floating island harboured not just individuals of immense strength but also brilliant minds. She felt relieved that she had trusted her Captain's judgment to surrender instead of foolishly fighting to the death.

Meanwhile, Leif and his team could only gulp in response, their minds spinning with amazement at the equipment's capabilities. They realized that with this unique function, they had a significant advantage against any opponent they might face.

"We'll need to allocate even more resources to the Healers Association then. Their assistance has been invaluable in the territory's growth," former Village Chief Brane remarked solemnly.

He suspected the Energy Mask Spectrometer was made using the resources Seraphina had requested from him.

The former Village Chieftess and the Caretakers nodded in agreement with his words.

Hearing the former Village Chief's praise, Queen Selene couldn't help but raise her head proudly. She was well aware of the Healers Association's competence, especially since she had been the one to elevate them to such a position while they were in the mountain.

Like a parent watching her children thrive, she felt immense pride seeing them reach greater heights, from creating the Vylkr Fusion Armlet to developing the Energy Mask Spectrometer and earning praise from the former Village Chief and other key figures.

These achievements, along with the contributions of the divine apostles and the overall progress of their race, further solidified their standing within the territory.

"Ahem! Can you please share your readings with us? We're curious to know how the mask gauges your strengths," Caretaker Ivor asked boldly. Despite understanding their individual power, he was eager to see how the mask would assess them relative to each other.

Everyone also shared his sentiments.

Stronghold Leaders Seth and Zogar nodded at Caretaker Ivor's request and checked the numbers displayed by the mask.

"For the Village Chief, it says Energy level - 2,600 BEM," reported Stronghold Leader Seth.

"And for warrior Fifi, it says Energy level - 2,560 BEM," Stronghold Leader Zogar added.

Orion nodded in confirmation, knowing that Fifi was gradually catching up to him due to her training and experience utilizing the Vylkr energy. He wasn't surprised by how she was narrowing the gap between them.

Nevertheless, according to Seraphina, even the slightest ten-

digit difference in these numbers indicated a significant disparity in strength, which could only be bridged with extraordinary power or skill. As the difference increased to several tens or even hundreds of digits, it represented an or several entire realms of difference, making the gap even more pronounced.

Of course, the mask still needed more testing to ensure its accuracy, so they weren't sure if there were any exceptions to the rule.

Stronghold Leaders Seth and Zogar then turned to each other curiously to compare their readings.

"It says Energy level - 6,200 BEM," Stronghold Leader Seth said, surprised by the result.

"Mine says, Energy level - 5,000 BEM," Stronghold Leader Zogar responded, recognizing the significant 1,200 BEM difference between them, highlighting their distinct levels of prowess.

Stronghold Leader Seth sighed in acceptance. He knew this further validated Stronghold Leader Zogar's strength. However, he wasn't as bitter as before; instead, he looked forward to exploring new depths of power beneath the floating island and securing a Devourer's bracelet for himself.

"This guarantees the success of your exploration down on Earth," Stronghold Leader Zogar said with a smile.

Orion, Fifi, and Stronghold Leader Seth nodded in agreement.

They moved forward and positioned themselves alongside Orion and the rest of the group, joined by Stronghold Leader Seth and the ten three-star Vylkr warriors.
