The protagonist manipulates events to punish a user who abused a divine energy relic, causing a stir within the racial alliance. This action leads to misunderstandings, with political leaders believing the protagonist possesses an unknown ability to control relics. They question if he can still use them, even if he can't control them, prompting the protagonist to suggest a test.

"Did you make sure to keep everyone away?" I asked the prime minister.

In response, he gave a simple nod.

For him, this was something that he could easily do. It was just that he didn’t actually want to do this since he did want more people to know about this.

The more people that knew about the results, the more useful it would be in the future.

After all, this was something that could be used to suppress those that became too arrogant.

But since I told him that this had to be kept a secret, that was what the prime minister did in the end.

It wasn’t as if I couldn’t confirm this myself with a simple divine energy sweep, but it was easier to ask him. It wasn’t as if the prime minister would lie to me to my face when it came to something like this.

After confirming this, I looked at the relics that were placed on the table in front of me.

There were quite a few relics that had been prepared for the elites that hadn’t been used in the end.

It wasn’t that they weren’t good, it was just that there weren’t enough people to actually resonate with them.

These relics were supposed to be used later for others that wanted to become relic users. After all, it wasn’t as if we were planning on giving them to the elites from those countries.

But before that, I was using them to test something.

I had already interacted with these relics in the past, but I didn’t actually feel much when I interacted with them. At most, there was this feeling like the one that I felt when I interacted with the necklace that I had taken back previously.

It was that sensation of being able to communicate with the relic without actually using words.

However, it was as if there was a different feeling now.

This was a feeling that was even stronger than that faint connection.

It felt like there was something that was allowing me to fully connect to the relics, as if there was some kind of bond between us.

This was different from the bond that one formed with relics when they acknowledged you. This was a sensation that was almost like the bond between a creator and its creation.

Though that would be the accurate way of describing my relationship with the relics since I was the one that had created the vessels in the first place.

But still, this was beyond just that simple kind of connection.

It was almost as if I could see through every part of these relics.

Which naturally meant that I was able to control them as well.

So I picked up one of them and soon started releasing flames with it.

These flames were clearly made of divine energy based on the sensation that came from it, but I could tell that there was something different about this. Instead of drawing from the divine energy that it should have possessed, it was drawing from my divine energy.

However, since it was drawing from my divine energy, it displayed a might that was greater than it normally would have possessed.

The way that it absorbed my divine energy and then released it went beyond the level that a normal relic would possess. But then again, a normal relic wouldn’t have been able to withstand this level of divine energy in the first place.

"It’s all because my creation divine energy was used to create the vessel that it inhabits?"

That was what gave this relic this level of capacity.

It wasn’t just this relic alone, the other relics had similar levels of tolerance for divine energy. It was all because they were created from the vessels that were made from my divine energy.

Just to test this, I also pulled out a few relics that had been gifted to me by the gods.

These relics just couldn’t come close to the power that the relics made from my creation divine energy showed.

But that was strange since the gods that these relics belonged to were supposed to be much stronger than me. So in the first place, the relics should have been stronger than the ones that I created.

After thinking about it, I realized what it was.

"It’s the enhancement effect."

This was something that I had already encountered before.

When I used my creation divine energy, it allowed things related to divine energy to become much stronger.

This was most likely why the relics that were created from vessels made with my creation divine energy were stronger than normal relics.

If I thought about it from a different angle, I realized that these relics weren’t that strong in the first place.

If I removed the enhancing effect that I knew about, the relics would be even weaker than the other relics that I received from the gods.

Those relics were those that had been nurtured by the gods for many years, so it was normal that they would be powerful. It wasn’t as if relics that were created all of a sudden would have power greater than those relics.

The concentration of divine energy inside the relics would be on different levels.

"So you can use it."

I came back to my senses when I heard this, but it was already too late for me to say anything.

I could see the way that the prime minister and the chancellor were looking at me.

The looks on their faces were more than enough to show the thoughts that were on their mind.

It was already too late for me to stop them, so the only thing that I could do was...

"Don’t tell anyone about this yet. This is something that we can use later."

The only way to convince them was to pretend that this was all part of a bigger plan.

They were people that liked this kind of thing, so it was this kind of thing that they could accept.
