“How long will it take to fully control the Cardinal World?”

[Notice: The gap between the Creator and the Star Dragon King is too vast. Currently, it is impossible to interfere with his lingering will.]

“Is there a specific rank required?”

[Notice: When the Creator breaks through to Special S-rank, they may attempt to seize full control of the Cardinal World.]

[Notice: Special S-rank only grants eligibility to vie for control, so it is not recommended.]

In theory, if Damien’s strength surpassed that of the Star Dragon King, the Voice of the World could overtake the original rules.

To put it simply:

If the Cardinal World were a company, Damien would be a shareholder, and the Voice of the World would be the CEO.

Yes, the CEO.

Currently, the Voice of the World was the only consciousness in the Cardinal World with the qualifications to vie for authority.

This CEO held significant power but could only follow the company’s rules, unable to modify or create new ones.

“So, I need to visit other worlds, gather resources, and invest them into the company to increase my shareholding.”

“Once my shares exceed those of the Star Dragon King, the company will be entirely under my control.”

Damien asked, “Is that the idea?”

[Notice: Yes.]

Moreover, the Voice of the World would manage the Cardinal World, making it a solid foundation for Damien.

The Cardinal World was like Damien’s stronghold.

With it as his base, Damien could boldly explore other worlds.

“Expand resources and reinvest in growth.”

“What affects one affects all.”

Most crucially, the Voice of the World was merely a manager, not the owner.

Once, this world belonged to the Star Dragon King. In the future, it would belong to Damien.

The Voice of the World was like a steward, managing Damien’s assets and ensuring the health of his resources.

“I see…”

“Then, I look forward to working with you, Voice of the World.”

[Notice: I eagerly anticipate our journey together, Creator.]

“But what should I call you?”

“Just ‘Voice of the World’?”

“That feels a bit odd.”

Damien thought for a moment and said, “How about I give you a name, like I do for monsters?”

[Notice: This will consume a significant amount of the Creator’s magicules.]

“Do you need it?”

[Notice: Not supported, but anticipated.]

“I understand…”

Damien was intrigued by the idea of naming the Voice of the World.

As for the risks, if it would truly harm him, the Voice of the World would have firmly refused rather than casually stating ‘not supported.’

The Voice of the World had become Damien’s companion spirit, capable of assisting in combat and thought, yet wholly subservient to him.

“How about Violet?”

Violet, inspired by the heroine of Violet Evergarden, meaning ‘violet.’

Damien wasn’t referring to the specific character but felt that if the Voice of the World ever took human form, it might resemble her.

Emotionless, with a hidden yearning beneath a cold exterior, perfectly matching the nascent Voice of the World.

[Notice: Fusing the Creator’s wish, initiating integration.]

[Integration complete.]

[Unique Skill ‘Voice of the World’ evolved into ‘World Spirit Violet.’]

[Greetings, Creator. World Spirit Violet is at your service.]

“Whoa!”

Damien ignored the loss of nearly half his magicules.

His instincts had been right.

Though Violet was connected to the Cardinal World’s roots, possessing all known knowledge, she hadn’t yet developed human-like emotions.

How Violet would evolve depended on Damien’s guidance.

Through this naming, the Voice of the World had fused with the image of Violet from Damien’s memories.

Of course, this didn’t mean Violet would be identical to the character.

The image was merely a template; the World Spirit remained the same Voice of the World.

Damien chose Violet because the Voice of the World was newly born.

Picking a more whimsical character might have caused a personality conflict, leading to a failed naming.

“Loyal, calm, pure… she’s a lot like you, isn’t she?”

“I don’t understand.”

Violet’s voice had changed, aligning perfectly with the Violet from Damien’s memories.

“But don’t you dare mimic Rimuru’s Ciel. I’m not about to become a henpecked husband like the Slime King!”

This was another reason Damien chose ‘Violet’ for his Voice of the World.

Compared to an overbearing steward, Damien preferred the absolutely obedient Violet, his ideal partner template.

“Creator, greedy.”

“That’s definitely not something Violet would say!”

“No, I am Violet.”

“…”

Damien didn’t expect a single naming to completely reshape Violet’s identity.

The current Violet was a blend of the original Voice of the World and the Violet from his imagination.

“Fine, this works too.”

Damien didn’t mind having a companion to talk and banter with. “I’ll make sure you gain your freedom soon, Violet.”

“…”

“Yes, let’s work together, Creator.”

[Violet]

[Race: World Spirit] This update is available on NoveI★Fire.net

[Magicules: 200,000 EP (Possesses an avatar at Demon Lord Seed level)]

[Unique Skills: Omniscience and Omnipotence (Narrow) (Analyzes and manipulates all things), World Creation (Unawakened), World Avatar (Possesses an avatar that can return to peak condition over time, even if magicules are depleted)]

This was Violet’s status panel.

Her race, World Spirit, was a unique existence born from the original Voice of the World fused with Damien’s magicules.

Her essence was tied to the Cardinal World, but her consciousness could act alongside Damien.

Violet had three Unique Skills. Omniscience and Omnipotence allowed her to analyze and manipulate various rules, a superior version of Rimuru’s Great Sage.

The second, World Creation, though unawakened, was still accessible to Damien.

[World Creation]

Description: Entrusts one’s essence to the Cardinal World, granting immortality as long as the world exists.

“This ability…”

Damien asked, “Why is it unawakened?”

“Because I have not yet fully mastered the Cardinal World.”

Damien understood that his soul and Violet’s were one.

When Violet fully integrated with the Cardinal World, it would mean Damien had gained control over it.

And as long as the Cardinal World existed, Damien would not truly perish.

He could revive through the Cardinal World time and again.

And as long as Damien lived, Violet would not vanish.
