Darius Supreme Chapter 413
Advertisement
Darius arrived in Elysium immediately. He then used his Blink skill to head towards the City of Divinity, entering it from the outside. In a matter of minutes, he arrived at the Great Library of Krona once more.
As always, it was quite populated by those who came seeking knowledge. Not everyone was greedy like Darius who wanted to obtain all the information himself. Most just came for specific bits of info that would help them in a specific matter they were dealing with.
Darius smiled and went through the various formalities. The clerks on the restricted floor were surprised to see him again so soon after he had come here last time, but they only smiled thinly.
It seemed that this fellow was not reconciled with being unable to grasp anything. Well, he still had a huge chunk of his hours left, so he was free to waste it as he pleased, it was no sweat off their backs.
Darius entered the Magical section first as usual. As he stood there, he gazed at the floating balls of light that represented the knowledge that was spread out over a distance of almost 1000 km.
Each km was equivalent to 1 point of Intellect if one had the minimum of Elementary Psychomancy which required 100 points in Int. Basic Mind Power would achieve only 0.5km per point, while Darius' current Intermediate Psychomancy should be able to cover more.
Darius closed his eyes and spread his mental tendrils around, finding that it was far easier to extend him far and reach just about 80% of all the information bubbles within range.
This meant that 1 point of Int was worth 2km at Intermediate Psychomancy, which was double the previous stages. This meant that he would not have to rely much on his Rare Intellects Boost Potions to increase his capabilities like he thought.

However, just to achieve his goal once and for all, Darius drank one. These potions boosted his Intellect by 150% and granted him an enlightened state for 1 hour. Previously when he came, he only had 150 points of Intellect and so the potion granted him 375 points of Intellect overall.
He was only able to absorb 37.5% of the total information that way, which was less than half. However, that information was extremely vital and was why Darius seemed to suddenly be invincible when dealing with things.
After all, information was power.
Now, he had 400 points of Intellect as a base, and his upgraded ability allowed him to reach 80% of info. The potion boosted his Intellect by 150%, which was an addition of 600 points, meaning that Darius had a total of 1000 points of Intellect currently!
Doubled, this meant that Darius could reach the full expanse of this space and even up to 200% of it. However, the void ended there, with no new information being added since he last came.
After all, things that could go in here were absolutely rare. Not every day did information that qualified to be classified came in. Even the stuff Darius gave Krona was kept by the God, not presented in this place.
Whatever the case, Darius left Miranda to use his mind to download all the information in the area. This took Miranda 30 minutes to accomplished as she was downloading everything after 375 km, which amounted to a distance of 525km.
Or to put it simply, Darius already had 37.5% of all information and just snatched the other 52.5% right now. What was even more interesting was that the fellow sat cross-legged and closes his eyes.
That's right, Darius was directly digesting the information he acquired, branding it into his mind to that he would always be able to remember it and not have to cross check with Miranda.

Previously, it had taken him 6 months to digest the 37.5% information for all five sections. So one could say that it averaged 1.2 months per section. As such, to digest 52.5%, it should theoretically take 1.7 months per section as well.
That was the equivalent of 52 days, and if Darius actually tried to spend all this time digesting information for each section, he would fail his Quest before he could even finish. So really, what the hell was he doing?
Well, the issue is that the circumstances then and now were fundamentally different. For one, Darius wanted time to pass back then so that Foldo and co could finish building Safemoon city, so Darius just lay down. Even then, Gunner had allowed him to skip the 3-month deadline which turned into 6 months.
Right now, he was pressed for time, so of course, he wouldn't use lax and time-wasting methods like before. Secondly, his Intellect now was vastly different from back then.
At the time he needed 6 months, he only had 150 points of Intellect which slowed his digestion time in this regard. Now though, he had a base of 400 points of Intellect, so his speed should be 167% faster.
What sealed the deal was the potion he just consumed. It increased his Intellects to 1000 points when he was learning things, and also granted the Enlightened-state which made comprehension easier.
This meant that the amount of time taken would have to be divided by 14.5. This was 9.5 times for the Intellect stat boost and 5-times for the Enlightened state boost.
What should have taken 10.2 months or 312 days would now only require 0.7 months or 21 days. This was not only for the Magical section, but all five sections combined.
Darius could collect, digest and obtain all the restricted information of Faust in just a little below 22 days in total! With that, it finally made sense why he decided to directly digest the information here at once.
In just a little over 100 hours, or 4 days, Darius opened his eyes and rose to his feet. His expression was solemn as he had discovered far more terrifying matters from the information he downloaded, and his outlook on Faust changed once more.
This world… was truly chaotic.
