Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The All-Inclusive Points Mall
"Thank you, big big brother."
Zampa took little Alex's hand and walked up to Leo to express her gratitude. Behind Zampa, little Alex looked at Leo with deep appreciation.
Even though Alex was only six years old, she could already distinguish between good and bad. She knew that because of this big brother in front of her, she was finally free from the clutches of the old monster.
At this moment, the little girl looked at Leo with gratitude in her innocent eyes.
"It's nothing, just a small effort," Leo said with a smile. He was in a very good mood. Using Oliver as a summoning catalyst had indeed worked, and the fact that it was the God of the Underworld who had been summoned made things even better.
However, Leo was also relieved that he had not summoned Robert. While Robert was quite powerful, the gap between him and the God of the Underworld was immense.
If nothing else, the difference in appearance alone was considerable.
And seeing Leo speak so casually, Zampa's admiration for him grew even stronger. However, with her naturally prideful personality, she didn't know how to express it. So, she silently kept her gratitude in her heart, waiting for an opportunity to repay him later.
Now, Zampa turned her gaze toward the God of the Underworld, who stood at the side. Others might have recognized whose body the God of the Underworld currently inhabited, so how could she not recognize it?
"Is this what I will look like when I grow up?"
"This is what you looked like when you grew up?" The God of the Underworld looked at Zampa in front of her. At that moment, she finally understood why she had been summoned.
"Yeah!" Zampa nodded enthusiastically, feeling an immediate fondness for the older version of herself. "Thank you for saving us as well! My sister is truly a goddess—she's so beautiful!"
"Ah?" Hearing Zampa's praise, the God of the Underworld's face turned slightly red. How could this little girl speak so directly? Even though she knew she was beautiful, hearing it in front of so many people made her slightly embarrassed.
Alas, no matter how powerful they may be, even goddesses enjoy being praised.
Watching the God of the Underworld's slightly shy reaction, Leo suddenly felt that something was off.
Wait a minute. She's being complimented for being beautiful?
Isn't she currently in Oliver's body? Isn't praising her beauty the same as praising Oliver's beauty?
Of course, Leo wouldn't say that aloud—his emotional intelligence was better than that.
At this moment, he turned his attention to the new things he had obtained.
The first was 1000 points. Could he now access the Points Mall?
Seeing this, Leo's eyes lit up. Even though he had a powerful bodyguard like the God of the Underworld, personal strength was always more reliable.
Now that he could buy things, he had to focus on strengthening himself.
With that in mind, Leo opened the Points Mall. The moment he did, he was met with a dazzling array of items. Seeing all these options, not only Leo but also the others in the group found their eyes glowing with excitement.

Asher: "What?! How is my Heavenly Lock in this Points Mall?! Impossible! This is a weapon that no one else should have except me and Jack!"
Joe Root: "Wait… that pile of Heavenly Locks belongs to you? That's nothing. Look at my Noble Phantasm—it's only B+ rank, yet it costs 200,000 points. Ugh, I'm so poor."
King of Knights: "Avalon! There's Avalon! No, wait—there's also my Caliburn! And it's only 500,000 points?! How is that even possible?!"
The King of Knights was completely shocked. Caliburn was her sword in the stone! A blade she had lost forever. It had been destroyed—so why did it still exist?
Hundred-Faced Hassan: "I'm not too surprised to see my Delusional Hallucinations here, but… whose Noble Phantasm is that Multiple Shadow Clone? It looks really interesting."
Weber: "Magic circuits?! There are magic circuits here?! And high-quality ones cost only 10 points?! I only have about 30 in total!"
In the Eye of the World, a magician's magical power was generated and stored within their magic circuits. As a third-generation magician, Weber's quality and quantity of circuits were relatively low, which was why he was often ridiculed for being unorthodox.
For example, Aozaki Orange had only 20 magic circuits, but each one was top-tier, so her magic power was already at B+ rank. Even Emiya Shirou only had 27 circuits, yet when he became the heroic spirit Red A, he still barely reached B-rank.
Weber's magical level was only D-rank as a heroic spirit, which meant he could barely use the Emperor's Army.
Director Jack: "As expected of a new magic family that only started from the third generation. A top-tier magic family like ours has hundreds of magic circuits."
James: **"@Director Jack, the number of magic circuits doesn't determine true strength—it only affects magical capacity.
Our Henry family has inherited only 70 circuits over 300 years, but in terms of magic level, I don't believe we Henry magicians are any weaker than your noble house."**
Director Jack: "Only 70 circuits after 300 years? Haha."
Seeing Director Jack's smug response, Leo couldn't help but smirk.
What is there to be proud of? Even with over 100 high-quality magic circuits, didn't you still get crippled by Andrian, who inherited only 20% of his father's circuits? He was left with only 20 circuits, and yet you were still defeated. I'd love to see your expression when you realize that."
With that thought, Leo couldn't help but grin.
"But they did remind me of something important. Even though heroic spirits have been summoned, they can't provide the same level of magical energy as Andrian."
Leo turned to the system with a firm decision.
"System, use all my points to exchange for magic circuits!"
