"Devouring" the consciousness of the "Sea King" indeed perfected this supreme divine artifact of the Bloodline by a step, and even directly added a Talent Magic for tracking and locating through the Dark Path.
Of course, for Charlotte now, she already possesses enough Talent Magic.
One more doesn't add, one less doesn't subtract.
But the crux isn't here.
Delving deep into the Divine Fire in her own heart, Charlotte senses her Divine Power.
Different from every past "devouring," this time, although she had eliminated the consciousness suspected to be of Oceanus and even the Blood Holy Scripture had subtly benefited, her Divine Power had not increased but decreased.
Or more accurately put, her Divine Power expenditure exceeded her Divine Power absorption.
Although the consumption wasn't significant, it nonetheless served as a reminder for Charlotte.
Her "devouring" did not always yield a net gain in Divine Power.
