Gains and Working Hard

Eternal Alliance was different from a common type. It cannot be broken, it cannot be disregarded, and it cannot be ended. As the name suggested, it lasted for eternity or until one of the parties was destroyed.

It was usually agreed by factions that were very close to each other, and this contract was affecting the entire faction in their own souls, so the alliance could not be terminated.

"Splendid. Please give me some samples of Artifacts and Spirit Energy, so I can experiment and bring you already completed technology."

I said as Bibi Dong nodded, and soon the grey fog appeared that showed several items and stones that were absorbed by my The Devil Tarot Card.

"Now that everything important has ended, the last topic is about new candidates for members. Deus Ex Machina, have you delivered an invitation to that person?"

Asked Mercurius slowly as he looked at Okhwang.

"Not yet. My clone in that Universe isn't strong enough, but it will be soon. Time flows several times faster compared to the Astral Boundary."

Answered Okhwang nonchalantly, as Mercurius nodded.

"Then this meeting has ended."

Said Mercurius, and afterward, everybody started talking to each other in a more relaxed manner. Mercurius spoke with Kaziklu Bey and Rot Spinne, while Deus Ex Machina and Valkyrie squabbled about something.

I talked with Bibi Dong about the Douluo Plane, and we were going through the details of our agreement and alliance, as there were many things to discuss. In a certain sense, I was deeply surprised by her, as she was so young, yet she was already powerful for her age, but what shocked me more was that she was practically genius when it came to politics and machinations. She had an extremely bright mind and was very determined to get what she wanted.

She reminded a weird combination of Vena and Fia in a certain sense. While I didn't press, I noticed that she held some kind of distaste for men in general and was a bit uncomfortable talking to me in such a relaxed manner.

She told me some legends about a place called a Divine Realm where Gods existed, and their gods were immeasurable stronger than those of the Astral Boundary. Even the weakest God there was comparable to strong Apocalypse Class, and unofficial gods, called God Officials were comparable to Warlock Monarchs.

The reason for that, proper gods, had something called a God Position, which was like comprehension of Law, so a weakest 3rd Class God was as strong as initial Apocalypse Class with one Law comprehended, while those without God Position were called God Officials, and they were around average Warlock Monarchs, as they lacked the support of the God Position, or in my language support of the comprehended Law.

After talking for a bit, everybody started slowly leaving until a Grey Fog enveloped me, and I disappeared from the meeting hall.

***

I woke up in my chambers in the Imperial Palace - Sanctus Imperialis.

The first thing I did, was to call out The Devil Tarot Card and took out several items I got from Bibi Dong during the meeting and there were even a few books and scrolls with theories about the Spirit Energy, its usage, origin, and properties.

'Architect, start analyzing the Spirit Energy with knowledge from these books and scrolls. I will go and start developing prototypes for weaponry that could work on the Spirit Energy based on these books and create a prototype for Battle Armor. Also, activate the conversion equation to try to find a way to convert Spirit Energy into Magical Power. Try using Agreas Crystal as a catalyst; that should work.'

I said in my head as I instructed my A.I. companion.

[As you wish. The approximate end of the operation is estimated to be 15 days, 9 hours, 45 minutes, and 33 seconds.]

Said the voice of the Architect as I nodded and got to work. I promised that I would try to arrive as soon as possible so that I would uphold it, and right now, my passion for researching new things has been ignited as I got to play with a new type of energy and create a new branch of technology based on it.

When I thought about Battle Armor schematics I got from Bibi Dong, I thought, If I can upgrade our own. Right now, Imperialis Militarum and other branches used Runic Armors, which were in nature very similar to something the create of Battle Amrors wanted to forge.

One of the most important assignments was to create a way to convert a Spirit Energy in Douluo Universe to the Magical Power that could then be used to replenish our reserves.

Douluo Universe was devoid of Magicule Particles that filled the entirety of the Astral Boundary, so when there, my energy reserves wouldn't regenerate because there wasn't material. And cause I wasn't of Law, that could do other ways; I can only prepare something.

And the first thing that came into my mind were Agreas Crystals, which held a unique ability to absorb almost any kind of energy. I tested it on Divine Power, Magical Power, Demonic Energy, Holy Power, Nature Energy, and even Qi that Cultivators used in Draconic Deus as I went and captured several hundred for experiments. They were good subjects to test weapons and some other things on.

What was shocking was the discovery of the fact these Crystals were able to replicate themselves given enough time in an environment with very high energy density. Thus I have ordered to create a special spell formation around the entire Agreas that increased energy density ten times. This would create practically an unlimited amount of Agreas Crystals, as they would always replicate under the right conditions. Also, I have given an edict that the reserves of Agreas Crystals in the mine cannot be lower than 50% of an entire volume of the mine.

I have decided to work for the next few days, and after that, I will go and spend some time with Vena, Fia, and Hela.

That would be good.
