Ding!

[ Congratulations to the player for improving the power of his branch of Yggdrasil. ]

[ The player and the branch will now share an even deeper connection with each other as the tree has managed to unlock another part of its powers ]

[From now on the player will have the corresponding powers inside the territory ]

-  All Seeing Eye skill will be unlocked for the player while in the territory.

-  The player can inspect up to 5 players a day and see their detailed status screen

-  The player can sense who amongst the people has any hostile emotions toward himself or the territory, the emotion needs to be powerful in order for the player to sense it.

-  The player and the inhabitants of the territory will have their powers boosted inside the safe zone while any enemies will have their own powers weakened.

"Jackpot!" Reign smiled as he looked at the notification, the ability to inspect people had improved and now he could inspect 2 more daily, not to mention the fact that he could also see if there was anyone with hostile feelings toward him and the territory, which would make it easier to find any spies. But first Reign clicked on the new skill he had gained in order to see what it did.

[ All Seeing Eye ] – Rank S

Reign's eyes widened in shock after seeing the rank of the skill, one had to know that the ranks of skills were the same as for items and abilities, rank S was a huge leap and a qualitative change for skills. Even after using his skills for so long and improving them, Reign still had no skills that were rank S. With visible excitement he clicked on the skill in order to see its description.

Description: Thanks to the incredible spatial powers the player has managed to understand, the player can activate the skill and observe anything in a large radius around him.

The description of the skill was incredibly short, Reign still didn't know exactly what it could do but one thing was certain, the only reason he could use the skill was thanks to the tree which had awakened its spatial powers and shared them with Reign. The radius didn't matter as Reign was limited to only observing the safe zone anyway.

Reign quickly activated the skill and soon found himself looking at the whole territory from above. If a person with high spatial understanding would look up, they would be able to faintly see the outline of a huge transparent eye floating in the sky.

Reign was suddenly able to see the whole territory from a bird's-eye view. Not only could he see the whole territory, but he could easily zoom in and observe people up close. Nothing could escape his sight as right now Reign felt as if he was playing a strategy game and could see everything.

For now, this skill wasn't that useful, most of the residents worshiped Reign and the others and Reign would also feel bad that he was observing them, but in cases where he needed to pay special attention to a person or a group of people, this skill would be invaluable. Not to mention the fact that in the case of their territory being attacked, Reign could use the skill and immediately find where the attackers are and how many of them there are.

If Reign could use this skill outside of the territory, then a surprise attack would be almost impossible to be done. Beast could do a similar thing with his eagle, but there was still the possibility of the eagle being attacked or found out, with this skill the chance of that happening was almost zero. Not to mention that Reign could observe anything in a matter of moments as there was no need for the eye to travel anywhere, he could easily zoom in and even check what a person was doing with their hands or try to read their lips.

For observation and spy purposes, this skill was pretty much a cheat as there was almost nothing anyone could do in order to hide from it.

"Amazing, this will be quite useful for my detective work in the following days." Reign smiled widely before going back to his office. He quickly pulled up the list of residents that he had previously saved and looked at them again. It wouldn't be enough to simply catch the rat, Reign wanted to use him in order to find the others.

Thanks to them having the Social Hub in the territory, the rat wouldn't need to even leave the territory in order to talk with his people. But Reign was the leader and of course, he could always disable Social Hub for a short period of time, not only that, but he could also talk with Eldar and the queen and ask them to do the same after explaining the situation.

Because of that, the spy would have no other choice but to try and contact his people another way, perhaps by meeting up with them. As a spy, there were bound to be measures that he had put in order to always be able to send new information to his superiors.

"Well, let's get to work." Reign browsed the list of people first, what he wanted to do was first check all of the people by himself, thanks to his new powers he would be able to see if any of them held any hostile emotions towards him or the territory.

If there were, then he would first check them all out and use the new skill in order to see what they were doing. Even though Reign didn't feel good about violating someone's privacy, in cases like these he would not care about that.

Reign went out and took a walk. He had previously used the skill and checked the whereabouts of the people from the list, of course, he was immediately greeted by many people and some came to him to talk. Of course, he made sure to check those that were on his list and keep an eye on them.

A spy didn't need to have any hostile emotions towards him or the people here. That's why it would be good to keep an eye on everyone and see if someone is acting strangely after seeing him. After walking around and greeting and talking with people for a couple of hours Reign finally came back to his building.

"This is gonna be a bit trickier than expected." Reign said so because during his walk he managed to find over 30 people that had hostile intentions toward him or the territory. Some of them were on his list, while others weren't. Thanks to the skill, Reign could only sense those that held strong emotions and as such, he knew that they meant nothing good for him or the people here.

Some of those were not even a part of the list but Reign quickly put them there. The first people he would check were of course them. He made sure to put them all in a separate list in the system menu so that he could always check up on it.

"Alright, let's see how the first lucky five are gonna be." Reign cracked his knuckles as he browsed through the list. He wanted to check all the people in there and read the basic information as that could help him perhaps choose the ones that were most likely to be the spy or spies.

Half an hour passed and Reign had chosen the five people. He activated his skill and inspected them, finding nothing noteworthy amongst them. There was one person that unexpectedly had a higher level than Reign would think he has, but it was just a bit and the skills the man had were quite bad as well.

"None have any skills that are connected to monsters, still, I should spend my time checking them all with the skill." Reign went to his room and laid down on his bed. He was planning on spending the next couple of hours observing all of them and he made sure to have a meal before doing so.

It was still daytime, but the evening was approaching, the best time for someone to do something would be night so Reing was hoping that he could catch the spy that way. Of course, he didn't put too much faith in that as the spy might have already done all of that before.

Time slowly passed and minutes turned into hours. Even after observing for over 4 hours, Reign was still unable to find anything from any of the people on the list. Just because someone had negative or hostile feelings towards him didn't mean that they were a spy or a danger to the territory after all. Perhaps some people simply disliked him, maybe some even thought he was a tyrant as everything in the territory was pretty much his.

Of course, those that thought that way were mostly the people that came here later, those that had been a part of the territory from the early days trusted Reign and the others wholeheartedly and would never think that way.

"Should I just go to sleep, there's noth-" Reign quickly shut up as he suddenly saw an interesting sight.
