    Now that I realized that among the new jobs of Vandalieu there was none that was related to the higher version of the skill "alchemy" that he succeeded, meaning that it has probably already been discovered. But he had a new job "Blood Ruler" which means Vandalieu is the first to awaken the skill "bloodwork" to a higher version.

    Its both disappointing(would prefer if van had it ;p) and worrying, knowing that there is someone out there that has alchemy skill reaching territory of divine, still Van may unlock some even higher tier job once he levels up/max out "Thaumaturgy", but its hard for me to imagine something higher version of alchemy then "Thaumaturgy", there is also possibility of Van getting access to new high their alchemy job by fulfiling some conditions, like having specific skills mastered and so on(we saw having specific skills or equipment can give you access to new types of jobs than standard one, even though they share some of same skills), like for example having high level spirt/soul related to skills or even his of death magic could have impact on direction in which he takes his alchemy skill/job.

    By the way do we have description of bloodrule skill, how different it is from bloodwork ?

    Not for Van. Vida made sure that Van wouldn't have any walls.

    Woah. That is just awesome. Van should drink blood more often. Especially from Bellmond.

    Well, the entirety of the street-stalls traid-city arc he was drinking his mother's blood every day like he drank her breast milk as an infant. He wasn't just gaining stats from this, he was also gaining skills. Since he was gaining his mother's life enhancement skill from drinking her blood, she actually insisted that he keep drinking her blood until he has that skill even with hers.

    We can probably assume he stopped after maxing the skill, but that wasn't actually said explicitly.

    This is a nice idea in the sense that such cooperation would be a good thing (the idea put a smile on my face). But what is the target audience for this? The people around Talosheim are already happily using Van's custom dungeons and for the Vidal Empire in general there'd be no real issues. So, the people of the current duchy, for example? However, currently Van doesn't want to reveal the extent of his powers.


    One thought that occurred to me is that perhaps the old creation orientated champions might have had some of these jobs... though you might expect they'd have then had the same lower level ones too. But on the other hand, perhaps they had different techniques so the lower level skills/jobs were different? Anyway, I have no real idea how likely this is but it did make me wonder what kind of jobs the original champions had.

    Thats a really good point, I didnt even think that it could be possesed who is dead already. it would be kinda ironic to be blocked from getting some job/s by your past self.

    Also I think that Van could get some spirit/soul related version of alchemy since one of goals of alchemy is to perfect human soul(purify the human soul), by doing that human soul can be reunited with God.
    Also achievement of gnosis.

    No Van still facing wall before he got many divine protection. Remember that Van facing wall before killing Kanatascum.
    Like what you said, at last current and future duchy, actually it better if Van can do spirit descent of Ricklent and changing the owner of dungeon that evil god from demon king faction to their own.
    Well the alternative plan is only give dungeon entrance Vida faction and Ricklent holy symbol without publication.
    Actually the basic idea for this because Ricklent seem disapointed to him/her self that didn't think something to give Van legitimate reason to have "Second Coming of Ark" tittle

    I really like the idea of Ricklent (and possibly Botin and Peria as well) hoping that Van is honoured as the reincarnation of all 4 heroes, not just Zakkart. Would be very reasonable from their point of view. Maybe Van's name will end up being: Vandalieu Zakkart Ark Solder Hillwillow (or similar). A bit of a mouthful but it's actually rather common for important people to have long names and in this case it would be fully justified.

    Ricklent is also the sort-of hidden MVP of the series, given much of the help that Van has gotten from the gods since being reincarnated on Lambda is directly due to the oracles that Ricklent sent to others, including Vida, starting from 100 years ago.

    How about Zarksohi for a name?

    The way I see it, is that since Van inherited the will of the group and he is not really a reincarnation of them but his own person, they support him as a new creation champion, and Ricky already said that more than them being heroic he want the to bring change to the world, this is why he and Zuru gave Van the 'Violator' Title.

    Actually all of Champions are Violator even bellwood as Zuruwarm sugestion is to call Violator. "destroying older order/Value and create new order/Value" because bellwood is the winner in the last game/bet. he can't be called Violator right now because he already establish his order/Value.
    Van is Violator who bluring the line between life and dead. Violator of bellwood order/Value. Violator of reincarnation systems. Violator between worlds.

    New chapter, after Van's job change the mayor of the Homonculus village throws a welcome party for Van and everybody. After this, they have a strategy meeting about how to assault the gods and then Van proposes a plan of attack that involves...
    making a fake look-alike of the Quatro piloted by stone golems and a few demon-king doubles (Van's alter-egos placed into bodies made from demon king parts.) Upon luring the gods into attack this fake Quatro, it turns out the entire hull is a bomb loaded up with Demon King fat and Demon King horns for shrapnel, which severely injures the 2 gods who approached the closest.

    I have a question. As I am an MTL reader, I would like for a RAW reader to kindly give a proper translation for the very last line of the chapter before it went off into the lore explanation of Homunculi. It looked like it was probably something that could hint heavily at what we are going to see happen next chapter, so the exact phrasing of that line is definitely important and not something to be trusted to the shoddy machine translation.

    It is also possible that Vandalieu has to switch job to [Creator] before appearing [Thaumaturgist] in his job list.

    Now I ask myself, if now that Vandalieu has chosen the job [Destruction Guide], the job [Destroyer] will appear and perhaps also appear [Shiva], as a possible job.

    But Van didn't have spear skill rights. So how he can have Shiva job, what i know Shiva famous weapon is kind of spear.
    And damn it i thought Creation and Destruction guider will open new kind of Guider job. I hope divine spirit job will make ghost type monster to more easy ranking up. I hope Van will have more friendly God Job to balance his divine enemy job.

    I am an mtl reader myself, so you should take that with a grain of salt:
    In my understanding, Van has been watching the gods with a small compound eye, waiting for them to return to their base via transfer.
    With that Gufadgarn can track the destination of their transfer, allowing them to make traps after luring them out, block reinforcements from being transfered to the vicinity and do some spying.

    If I am wrong, please correct me.
