Leo turned to look at his side as he noticed that Charlotte had suddenly landed and was currently checking on a Chaos Orb that she had picked up from the ground. Considering that she already knew about it, he decided to just let her freely observe. Observe as much as she wants. Anyways, the Chaos Orbs were just similar to Chaos stones, the only difference is the former contains a pure and much more powerful concentration of Chaos Mana.

"What do you call these unknown yet powerful objects?" Charlotte approached Leo and asked. She had long been curious about this.

"I call them Chaos Orbs. They're one of the many kinds of Element Orbs I can create," Leo replied without bothering to hide anything about it. He had already revealed the existence of Chaos Orbs, so might as well just reveal the existence of Element Orbs. After all, just the name 'Chaos Orbs' alone could already somewhat reveal that there would also be other kinds of similar Orbs, only in the other cases, it would be of different Elements. It is also not a problem whether Charlotte tries to use such information against him, since she was his slave. Once she tries to betray him, the Slave Contract they have signed would instantly punish her equal in value to her betrayal. Like, for example, if she tries to kill him, she would die.

"So you mean to say that there is still more of this?" Charlotte was immediately rendered shocked after hearing Leo's words.

"Yes, but I don't have any of those items yet because I have my priority set on the Chaos Orbs first," Leo replied. Chaos Mana was rare to find, with only a few people capable of being able to create and use them. On the other hand, Wind, Earth, Nature, Water, Fire, and the majority of other types of Element Mana were very easy to find. So, it's not a problem for him to create their Element Orbs. In fact, he could create one whenever he wants one. But of course, at this moment of time, he could only achieve those for the Wind, Earth, Nature, Water, and Fire Orbs, since those were the only Element Mana he can use for now. But if he wants other Element Mana that he still can't use yet, like for example Ice Element, he could simply ask someone else. In this case, he can ask Elizabeth to help him gather Ice Element Mana.

"Then I assumed they also contain a pure concentration of Element Mana, right?" Cassandra asked the moment she arrived by Leo's side after disembarking from the Green Eagle Flyingboat that landed a few meters away.

Leo turned to look at Cassandra and replied, "Yes, the other Element Orbs are just similar to Chaos Orbs. The only difference is they contain different Element Mana."

"Then that means we can use the Element Orbs for cultivation purposes, right? After all, they contain Element Mana as well, just like Magical resources," Elizabeth quickly butted in.

"It's possible," Leo replied, but was immediately interrupted by Angel.

"What do you mean about 'It's possible?" Angel curiously asked.

"Perhaps it's because although he knew it's possible, he still hasn't confirmed the possibility yet...?" Veronica turned to look at Angel and expressed her opinion.

"Or perhaps he already confirmed the possibility, but there is a requirement or something?" Ash also expressed her opinion.

Noticing that no one would finally interrupt him anymore, Leo explained, "I can one hundred percent confirm that it's indeed possible to use the Element Orbs for cultivation purposes. But the thing is, I still don't have any idea how to achieve that."

"I indeed noticed that the Chaos Orbs contains a pure concentration of Chaos Mana, really unlike the Chaos Mana found in Chaos stones. So, I assume it's because of this, right?" Ethan asked before slightly nodding his head at Charlotte.

"What you said is indeed correct. The Element Orbs is unlike the other Magical resources, thus I don't think we can absorb the Element Mana it contains in a similar manner." Leo explained.

Elaine nodded her head in acknowledgment and said, "That is only natural, considering that those Element Orbs you've mentioned contain a pure concentration of Element Mana." She paused before adding, "Honestly, your Chaos Orbs is actually somewhat similar to the Water crystals and other Magic crystals that I've seen in the past when I and my mother had once visited a Mermaid Empire. At that time, my mother told me that in order to absorb the Mana that a Magic crystal contains, one must be powerful enough to match the strength of Mana it has inside. She explained that; different quality of Mana equals a different strength. You can't absorb something that you can't handle absorbing. Doing so would just cause you more harm than benefits."

Leo can't help but to also agree with Elaine's words. It might indeed be because he is still not powerful enough to handle a pure concentration of Element Mana that's why he still can't absorb it. Most likely, it's because of Mana's capacity. After all, a pure concentration of Element Mana doesn't only mean it has a good quality of Mana, it also meant that even a single wisp of it contains a huge quantity of Mana. So, a Mage should have the required amount of Mana capacity in order to absorb it, or else, just like what Elaine's mother, Queen Maria, had said, it might bring more harm than benefits.

This should mean that once he reached the required or appropriate level in cultivation, then he can finally start making use of the Element Orbs for cultivation purposes. Until then, the Element Orbs could only be used as weapons.

Aside from that, it also means...

"Leo, is it alright for me to try absorbing one? Hehehe..." Edward asked Leo while scratching his head embarrassingly.

"I also want to try," Chief Lago followed after.

"Me too!" Sebastian raised his hand.

"Count me, as well!" Dan also raised his hand.

"If... if it's okay... I also want one..." Sele shyly asked.

"This old man would also want to have one. I hope that through this I can return to my prime state again." Old man Torre didn't let himself be left behind.

Just like what Leo had expected. He might not be able to make use of the Element Orbs yet, but the others might just be able to do it.

This wasn't really that bad. Through this, he can confirm the feasibility of Elaine's words. At the same time, helping the others breakthrough also meant that he would have powerful helpers.

"I take it that you guys had chosen the first choice," Charlotte suddenly asked as she nodded her head at Ethan and the others. Her words before were indeed meant for Ethan and the others since Cassandra and the others had already firmly decided before to follow after Leo wherever he goes. Though she knew that Ethan and the others had agreed to follow after Leo, but they didn't say that they have the same goal as him, specifically to fight against the Gods. Their only reply before was, "They would think about Leo's proposition along the way."

However, at this moment, with the discovery of Leo's potential, Charlotte realized that they can't afford to have people with Ethan and the other's thoughts anymore.

Ethan and the others were basically what one would commonly call as fence-sitters. They would go to either side depending on the given situation.

Unfortunately, in Leo's case right now, fence-sitters like Ethan and the others were considered as unknown variables since they might be able to either cause Leo a negative effect or a positive effect.

Charlotte knew clearly just how much Leo hates troublesome things such as that. So, she voluntarily decided to solve such a problem herself while it is still in its early state. Cassandra and the others also understood this point, that's why they step away from Ethan and the others a while ago. After all, they have already decided upon themselves to eliminate all the troublesome things they could possibly eliminate so as to not cause Leo any more trouble. This was their responsibility as Leo's woman.

"Don't worry, we have already decided to stay." Ethan said as he looked at the others and added, "Right guys?"

"Wherever my husband goes, I, as his wife, would also follow." Elaine replied with a smile.

"If I can really get what I came here for, then staying to fight alongside you guys is not a big of a problem. In the first place, the reason why I choose to help the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household defeat our family was because I want to grow powerful through fighting, just like my two other brothers." Edward explained his reason.

"I'm Ash's men from the moment she helped me, therefore it's part of my responsibility to follow her." Chief Lago replied.

"So, am I!" Sebastian nodded his head.

"I, as well!" Dan added.

"I am not scared!" Sele followed after.

"I have the same opinion," Old man Torre agreed.

At the side, Leo could only shoot Ethan and the other a confusing look on his face as he doesn't know what was going on right now. But based on their replies, he could somewhat guess already that Charlotte should have asked them something about staying with him or not. As for the reason why she had asked them about that, he would ask about it later.
