As expected, Talos was in the spotlight at the Evelyn Palace to receive the power of faith from all over the Naga Kingdom.

Thanks to Sandra's promotion to the legend and the title of Grand Duke of the Black Sea, Talos has received unprecedented attention this promotion, radiating almost the entire Naga Kingdom and even part of the human world.

In the past, although Talos was excellent and once became the focus of the kingdom with the "Special Genius Clause", the group that really paid attention to the news of his strength promotion at any time was quite limited, most of them were classmates of Rhea School of Magic, some of the Deep Sea Knight Academy, or peers who couldn't hold back their competitiveness, and his own influence in the four-armed Naga or fourth-order professional group was very limited.

After all, he was too young.

For the four-armed Naga group, no matter how fast Talos progresses on the path of bloodline knights, it is only a small fight among his peers, just like the gold collar generally does not deliberately pay attention to how good a student has achieved in the college entrance examination, which key university he was admitted to in advance, and it will take at least four years to compete with them for positions, maybe more.

- It's not just a spatial distance that lies in the middle, but also the time distance needed to transform potential into real strength.

But now it's different, even if you put aside external factors such as birth and family background, a four-armed Naga who is only 17 years old is enough to attract attention.

In a way, from the moment they were promoted to the third rank, Talos stood out as one of them, and his rivals were no longer his peers - although they were left far behind and disqualified from competition in the first place - but the four-armed Naga!

The challenge from the younger generation and young people is undoubtedly very impactful, and it is disgraceful to win, but it is even more humiliating to lose.

This situation is like parachuting a boss who is ten years younger than you in the department, maybe not out of intention, but his outstanding ability, sophisticated methods and personal charm that do not match his age can always make frustration and unwillingness linger in the bottom of your heart, remind you of mediocrity and ordinariness, and even make you start to self-deny and doubt life.

The four-armed nagas are in such a situation.

Because of this substantial change, even the seniors who didn't care about Talos in the past with their own identity and strength couldn't help but cast a gaze or two after learning the news, and then they couldn't help but be divided into more attention, as evidenced by the dazzling flames radiating from the soul fire round after round.

As the Chosen One who has experienced and successfully stripped [Jealousy] from his body, Talos can easily feel strong envy, yearning, and jealousy in the power transmitted across countless spaces, and of course, there is no lack of positive worship and affirmation.

No one is jealous of mediocrity, and the first great philosopher to utter such a philosophy of life must have been in a similar situation, Talos thought, as further evidence of his extraordinary talent.

Naga closed his eyes, with anticipation and satisfaction, as he watched as the formless and substantial powers were thrown into the soul fire, calcined, disintegrated, and absorbed until they became part of the soul fire energy.

Those Nagas who were amazed, shocked, and incredulous by Talos' promotion to the third rank would probably never know that their curiosity and strong emotions were one of the driving forces that gradually propelled the soul fire from bright yellow to another color, and gradually turned into tender yellow.

It's a virtuous cycle, and when Talos moves up to the fourth rank, they'll be sure to contribute to the popularity and influence of the four-armed Naga once again.

At the same time, the Ouroboros pattern on the central imprint door of the soul fire became clearer and clearer as the soul fire grew, connected end to end, in a twisted shape, like the number 8, and a chain with a golden soft light was wrapped around the chubby body, and a trace of satisfaction and serene smile could be vaguely seen on the fat head.

Suddenly, with a click, a crack appeared in the chain on the Ouroboros's body, and before Talos could react, more and more cracks appeared on it, and then the entire chain broke inch by inch, turning into a golden soft light and completely disappearing.

Naga was almost stunned by the sudden change, but more changes continued.

After breaking free from the chains, the Ouroboros' temperament suddenly changed drastically, as if some kind of seal and restraint blessed on its body had been broken, and it was as if a prehistoric beast had finally woken up from its slumber for some reason.

In the past, because of its chubby body and quiet, soft, light and dark scales, the Ouroboros was very rare to show the cuteness and holiness rarely seen in snake creatures.

Now, however, everything associated with serenity, loveliness, and holiness has been torn apart, replaced, and vanished without a trace by ferocity and tyranny.

The change of temperament drives the change of image.

The serene and satisfied smile on the Ouroboros' face disappeared, and its head quickly grew a layer of and spikes, a bit more ferocious dragon style; its chubby body continued to swell and expand, giving people a sense of trembling and fearful power; on the snake's back, razor-like bone spurs sprouted out and joined in a row, sharp, hideous, and shimmering with a cold and cruel sheen.

The embodiment and symbol of "laziness" finally left sleep, opened its eyes, stretched its body, and the huge snake body rolled and changed its posture - still connected from end to end, but the pattern changed from the original number "8" to the number "0", and the row of hideous bone spurs on its back made the Ouroboros look like a serrated spiral, the kind that can easily divide a mountain in half.

Interestingly, the Ouroboros pattern occupies the same size on the sigil door before and after the change, but the effect is very different, in the past, Talos always mistook it for a cute and harmless pet snake, and even could play with it in the palm of his hand, but now, it is a wild beast ready to choose a person to devour, and it is extremely terrifying.

"So that's what Ouroboros really looks like!"

The first time Talos encountered this situation, whether it was the earthly python representing [gluttony] and the Medusa symbolizing [jealousy], they were the same image from beginning to end, and habit solidified Naga's thinking, and it was taken for granted that [laziness] was the same.

However, it turns out that it is not, the two states of sleep and wakefulness make the Ouroboros very different, and this difference is also manifested in the effect of the soul fire on Talos, who can clearly feel that his body's need for sleep has increased again, and even is moving towards a state of thirst.

Naga wasn't sure if it was the normal effect of laziness or if the primordial desire had already begun before he knew it - apart from drowsiness, Talos didn't suffer any negative effects on his body, which made him unable to make a proper judgment for a while.

Either way, thanks to unexpected circumstances, Talos knew he really should get ready.
