Bonds of the Ruler.
Alexander proposed such a ridiculous Ability Gem to the Enneagram as…
||The conceptual idea put forth has been analyzed under the limitations of the current understanding of the Covenant of Gold and the capabilities of the Enneagram.||
||The metrics and parameters of the proposed Ability Gem have been redefined.||
||The following Ability Gem, Bonds of the Gold Ruler, can be forged.||
[Bonds of the Gold Ruler]:: For every Minion or Summon present in the field, an additional +100,000 Vigor and Energeia is granted. Through the Bonds of the Gold Ruler, the Covenants learned by the Ruler can be shared a maximum of two times with those who follow him, and the Ruler can obtain any maximum of two different Covenants of Nature grasped by those who follow him. Through the Bonds of the Gold Ruler, 50% of the maximum collective amount of Energeia Values between all those that follow him form into the Vessel of the Heart of the Ruler, which all followers can pull from to utilize.
A different version of the Bonds of the Ruler that he proposed was put forth.
Something that could actually be done with the current limitations of both the Covenant of Gold and the Enneagram!
Towards such a thing…
“Design it.”
Alexander gave the go ahead as he felt his Energeia seethe.
Waves of heavy rivers of blue that were filling his body to the brim all seemed to surge into the Enneagram his Will was in, and he watched as blue rivers of brilliance surged in from all around and flowed into the golden gem currently rotating before him.
1.5 Million Values of Energeia.
Alongside it, the authority of a Covenant painted everything in a glorious golden color, the golden gem before Alexander twisting and turning as gradually, it protruded 9 sharp angles.
Gradually, it became a fantastic Nine-Pointed Gem that droves of Energeia and authority of the Covenant of Gold flowed into, and in a short period of time…
BOOM!
As if a singularity bloomed.
Heart-shaking golden waves of light erupted in this unique space where Alexander’s will was in as a dazzling gem displayed itself before him- floating grandiosely before it began to flow towards the center of this space that was the massive illusory Enneagram.
Currently, the Summon Undead Ability Gem and its subsequent Support Ability Gems had long been broken down and assimilated- with the space of the Enneagram being open and free.
And so, from the Gold Series, the first ever designed Ability Gem by Alexander came to be socketed on the Enneagram.
HUUM!
A loud, glorious ringing sound boomed out and seemed to fill everything- a sense of resonance booming out as at this moment, all 9 slots of the empty support circles of the Enneagram lit up.
The first gem to have 9 possible Support Ability Gems came from his own design!
The moment it was slotted into the Enneagram, its profound changes and what it entailed were expressed right away.
In the outside world.
Ryanara was smiling with fluttering gold eyes filled with charm as she seemed to naturally find the gold light around Alexander appealing.
To the extent that she asked.
[Your Covenant…is it truly Gold itself? If you don’t mind me aski-]
BOOM!
They weren’t too far apart.
And yet Ryanara felt her eyes nearly blinded by a golden eruption of light from Alexander’s chest as she subconsciously rose up in alarm, seeing a terrifying maelstrom of authority seething around him!
Distinctly, she could almost make out a nine pointed Gem radiating endless golden light at the center of his chest, but it faded away very quickly.
After that, a sense of stifling pressure began to surround Alexander that wasn’t there before.
A pressure that showed one’s Covenant carrying greater depth and power, and that one’s own life force was very exuberant!
How come? How and why did such a change occur when they were just talking?!
Ryanara didn’t have any answers, but Alexander faced an explosion of voices in his mind.
||The First Successfully forged Main Ability Gem has been socketed in the Enneagram and is now displaying its effects.||
||The successful forging of an Ability Gem with the authority of the Covenant of Gold has allowed your understanding of Gold to rise to 2%.||
||Due to the socketed Bonds of the Gold Ruler, you have gained an additional +2,800,000 Vigor and Energeia.||
…!
A terrifying number rose up!
From the redefined Bonds of the Gold Ruler, Alexander gained 100,000 Vigor and Energeia for every Summon and Minion he held.
14 Minions from the Minion King Gem Recipe. 14 Undead Summons from the Undead King Gem Recipe.
All of them came together to grant a terrifying boom of life force for Alexander.
||Due to the socketed Bonds of the Gold Ruler, the Vessel of the Heart of the Ruler is forming within you.||
Its boons were plenty.
And this was only part of it all as there was one component that Alexander had added which made things utterly ridiculous.
[…Through the Bonds of the Gold Ruler, the Covenants learned by the Ruler can be shared a maximum of two times to those that follow him, and the Ruler can obtain any maximum of two different Covenants of Nature grasped by those who follow him…]
So it was stated.
At this moment, Ryanara looked towards Alexander in shock as she couldn’t explain his sudden burst of power, and just when she wanted to ask- she saw him turn towards the quiet girl beside him.
Claire.
She didn’t want to leave him even in the face of danger, and for this childhood friend of his, Alexander spoke silently and made a choice.

It could only be utilized a maximum of two times, but one was reserved for her by default!
As soon as his thoughts went out.
The hair on Claire Asmodeus fluttered as her eyes constricted.
She felt an earth shaking authority suddenly erupt from the connection she shared with Alexander as even before she could turn to him in shock…
BOOM!
Her body felt an explosion of Gold.
There was an utterly tyrannical and forceful entry of understanding into a Covenant- and it was actually an Ability Gem that made it possible as at this moment, an illusory nine pointed Gem appeared above Claire!
With an explosion of golden brilliance, the aura and intensity of a Ruler began to build up around Claire- with Ryanara and the two old women behind her looking at this scene with utter disbelief and stupor.
Their shocked gazes seemed to be asking…what the hell was going on?!
