The Complete Book Of The World

"It is..."

It was a book, wrapped in thick, dangerous-looking animal leather, with gilded corners and an ancient, worn appearance.

As Selene made contact with the book, a look of surprise and delight gradually appeared in her eyes.

Upon receiving the Teigu's information, Selene immediately understood that this was exactly what she had been seeking.

The Complete Book Of The World: Rongo Rongo (World Chronicle), a book-type Teigu that records the maps of all nations, particularly the Empire. From resources to geographical locations, it contains detailed data on everything, and even includes predictions of large-scale natural disasters that might occur in the future.

While the World Chronicle doesn't grant its user extraordinary combat power like other Teigu, its utility and the abilities it offers are nothing short of miraculous.

Especially for a ruler, or someone aspiring to be one, this Teigu is more valuable than any other. It provides unparalleled strategic insight and the ability to foresee and prepare for future events.

For Selene, who had stashed away a vast collection of modern industrial machinery in her storage space, this Teigu was the perfect tool to propel her ambitions forward.

Is there any Teigu more suited for the comprehensive development of a power structure than the World Chronicle?

Selene's knowledge of this world was still largely based on her memories from her previous life. While the anime had provided her with a rough outline of the story and the timeline, it didn't tell her how big this planet was, where the rich mineral deposits were located, or where to find rare and valuable materials.

But this Teigu, the World Chronicle, could reveal all of that to her.

Its usefulness, in Selene's eyes, was second only to holding dominion over the entire world.

As she picked up the World Chronicle, it was just as she had hoped—the Teigu didn't impose a strict rule that one person could only use a single Teigu. Multiple Teigu could be used simultaneously, provided the user had enough physical and mental strength.

For Selene, this was incredibly easy. She could effortlessly bear the consumption of both the World Chronicle and Twin of Fate.

As the Teigu activated, the World Chronicle underwent a subtle transformation.

The cover, originally adorned with a chaotic mixture of teeth and eyes, gradually shifted. The protrusions of teeth became fainter, blending into a pattern of scales and teeth, resembling the eye sockets of a dangerous creature. The eye on the cover blinked, making the book seem almost alive.

"Interesting..."

Selene mused, slightly surprised. The materials used to craft this Teigu hadn't completely died. Although the soul had long faded, some essential component of the creature had stubbornly survived, reacting instinctively. The World Chronicle seemed to change subtly depending on its user.

As Selene prepared to delve deeper into the book's functions, Honest's startled exclamation brought her back to reality—this wasn't the best place for research.

"This... General Selene... you're using not one, but two—no, three Teigu at once?"

Honest's exaggerated expression revealed his shock as he stared at Selene, who was effortlessly using three Teigu. This completely defied the long-standing rules of Teigu usage in the Empire! (In his eyes, Selene's armor was also a Teigu.)

"No need to look so terrified. Teigu don't enforce a single-use restriction. As long as you have the physical and mental capacity, it's entirely possible to wield multiple Teigu simultaneously."

Closing the World Chronicle, Selene glanced at Honest and calmly stated, "Alright, Minister Honest, this is the one I choose."

"But... but you're using three Teigu at once! Does this mean you're now stronger than that old warhorse, Budo?" Honest caught up to Selene, carefully probing.

"More or less," Selene replied indifferently.

"Oh, well, congratulations on your significant increase in strength, General Selene..." Honest's enthusiasm grew as he followed closely behind Selene.

He was so caught up in his fawning that he seemed to completely forget that, according to the late Emperor's decree, Selene was only supposed to select one Teigu. Yet, she was leaving with two.

As they passed through the corridor on their way back, Selene noticed another vault on the opposite side and asked, "Why is there another vault here?"

"That vault stores Relic-class items. Are you interested, General Selene?"

"But let me remind you, General, Relic-class items are failed attempts at creating Teigu. Their quality and effects are inferior, so I doubt you'd find them appealing..." Honest cautiously advised.

"I see... in that case, forget it. Minister, please select a few and send them to the Eighth Legion's base." Upon hearing that they were mere relics, Selene lost interest immediately.

"Hahaha... of course, leave it to me."

"Thank you, Minister."

Listening to Honest's hearty laughter, one might think that this Imperial Minister was a warm and friendly man, if they didn't know any better.

...

In the Upper District of the Capital, at Selene's mansion.

Selene reclined comfortably on her luxurious high-backed sofa, holding a thick book with a scaled cover in her hands, occasionally flipping through its pages.

The Complete Book Of The World: Rongo Rongo.

After declining Honest's invitation to dinner, Selene had been carefully examining this rare support-type Teigu.

Under the precise control of her Disruption Energy, the World Chronicle held no secrets from her. She likely had more control over it than any previous user, even its creator.

Beyond its basic function of recording information, the World Chronicle had another fascinating feature—scanning!

This ability was particularly intriguing. As it adjusted to different locations, the book would automatically display and record detailed maps of the area, depending on the user's physical and mental strength. The further the distance, the more simplified the map; the closer the proximity, the more detailed the map became.

It could even detect underground mineral and water veins. The only downside was that it didn't register living organisms.

Currently, the World Chronicle contained the accumulated information of all its previous users, compiled and organized.

The entire continent, from mountain ranges and underground rivers to detailed geological data, was scanned and recorded. The predictions of natural disasters on the final page were a combination of all this data.

Of course, due to the limitations of the user's mental strength, it could only predict large-scale natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and floods. It couldn't foresee celestial events like solar storms or meteor strikes.

Incredible, Selene thought, marveling at the World Chronicle's true potential. This is practically a combination of weather forecasting, world mapping, satellite imaging, and an encyclopedia—all in one!

After fully grasping the capabilities of this Teigu, Selene couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. In her hands, the World Chronicle could achieve so much more, like scanning beyond the Empire's borders or even exploring other worlds!

To Selene, The Complete Book Of The World: Rongo Rongo was the best, strongest, and most useful Teigu.

Knock, knock...
