@Owyn @RooneyRoo risk is the consequence when you use a relic way above your skill cap. for instance, in earlier chapters, when Irene was still a beginner in using her midas relic, she kept getting risks since it's a god relic and it's way above her overall skills but now when she helped the mc get away from the god of detection, there was no mention of her risk so it's now clarified that her domination skill is better to the point that she can wreck a whole country's economy without having any risks.
we knew the mc can handle 3 god relics in
full-strength(in an earlier chapter in the valley of kings) but we saw in 1-2 chapters before this that not only he used 4 relics on their full strength but he even
executed a combo skill from the said 4 god relics so it's natural that he'll have his risk lmao that's why julian was hella worried
