Chapter 208: Beastman Side

[Grand kingdom]

In the stroke of the afternoon Xyrus the Archmage that was in charge of Alduin's condition, can be seen walking down the aisle as he firmly gripped a letter that seemed kind of an invitation from the Eldion Empire

As he made his way through the Hero's bed chamber, he somehow also took some time to admire the outside view of the kingdom and it's half of its land that was being constructed again

Remembering the incident on this country 8 months ago, he couldn't help but sigh in dejection as thought of such destruction was like a slap through face for them

With renew fervor he instantly pushed the door on his bed chamber with an expectation to see Alduin slacking off with some women in the middle of the day

When the door suddenly flung open, his eyes constricted for a moment as he saw that the room was currently empty and it's sheet were kept clean without any sign of being used

Soon a guard was also making his pass on that same location when suddenly Xyrus instantly blocked his view and asked him

"Speak! Where's Alduin-sama? Haven't he came back last night and tools rest on his room?"

In reply the guard said

"Ah! Eh... Alduin-sama is currently on his laboratory, he is currently busy on something so he hasn't been coming back here lately"

"On his laboratory? What is he doing there?" He asked himself

As he pondered on such question, he suddenly realized that he was somehow occupying the guard's presence that he somehow noticed that the latter was somewhat nervous

With a wave he dismissed the guard

After the guard left, Xyrus immediately headed straight for Alduin's laboratory

When he arrived he suddenly was infront of such huge door reaching about 30 feet tall

Just by applying magic, one can easily enter such room, so when Xyrus applied magic on the door, he suddenly found out that he can actually push it without any effort

But the moment he got in, he was so astonished to find out that the room was so densely packed with mechanical structures ranging from Titan sized structures to a simple weaponized structure

On the far right of the lab he saw Alduin tinkering on such technology using his seathrough screen as he rearrange his mechanical bio weapon with a flick of his finger

After pondering for a bit he also saw Alduin snapping his finger only for a holographic white light in a size of a thumb to appear between his fingers as he slowly installed it on some kind of box shaped metal

The moment he did that the box shaped suddenly shook until it fell into tiny bits of microbits

Wing a swing he could also see that such intangible microbits suddenly reformed into something Akin to a gauntlet on Alduin's hand

Seeing such technology being drafted through the screen, he couldn't help but wonder such far sophisticated technology x magic scenery

With a cough he interrupted Alduin's concentration

"Alduin-sama!"

"Hmm!?!? Oh! Xyrus... . . What brings you here?" Called out Alduin

"Ah yes we'll you have to remember that we have an appointment with the Human's Eldion Empire about a week from now and if we calculate our travel time from here to there, we could assume that we won't make it even if we depart from her during the night" stated Xyrus

"Oh! You mean the meeting? I see... . . But doesn't worry we'll arrive there faster than you think!" Replied Alduin

"Faster than I think? Have you got any transportation included beside taking a boat across the sea?"

As Xyrus asked this, Alduin suddenly pushed himself off the table as he made his wheeled chair to slide infront of Xyrus and stares at his eye

"Your asking me that? Well it can't be help since your technology is somewhat a backward drift for people who experienced advanced technology themselves" said Alduin as he shrugged his shoulder

"Alduin-sama! Are you saying technology is far superior than magic?" He asked with a grimaced face

After all such wording can be called an insult to people like him who dedicated most of his time on studying magic

"You can take it on how you understand and take in my wording, but all I'm saying is that such a thinking is already an old news, I've got a better method of transportation in mind than just simply going on a boat across the sea" stated Alduin

Hearing this Xyrus ears suddenly perked up as he saw Alduin signaling him to follow him deep inside his laboratory

"Look for yourself... . ." Said Alduin as he presented a certain structure

Upon seeing such structure, Xyrus expression became complicated as he couldn't figure out on what help can a lump of metal even give to them

"I'm sorry Alduin-sama! But I just can't see on how this lump of metal can help us"

As he said that, Alduin suddenly carassed his forehead as he thought of introducing such structure

"In two weeks time I'm planning to mass replicate such structure using my magic, this is called an aircraft but not just an ordinary aircraft, this is nuclear powered aircraft that I have came to breakthrough after fighting the guy who can wield nuclear matter" said Alduin

"Aircraft? What's that?" Asked Xyrus

With that Alduin begun to explain such structure

"This thing just as her name implied can travel through the sky in high velocity and speed, with it we can dominate the sky as our territory,this is actually a breakthrough technology on my world"

"... . . Traveling through the sky... . . Such a thing is Inconceivable!" Exclaimed Xyrus

"I know! That's what my ancestors though off back in the days too, but instead of those traditional transport planes, this baby right here is a fighter type her plane equipped with nuclear missiles and photonic laser pointer, this thing has also an aimbot installed to help pilots in maneuvering this during battle... . . What's more this thing can fly upto Mach 20 a speed that can break through sound barrier"

After this explanation Xyrus was suddenly left speechless from seeing such monstrosity being created

While shaking he asked

"Just how many are you going to replicate that?"

"Hmm... . . If I want to be sure then maybe a couple hundreds"

With that Xyrus legs suddenly weakened as he fell on his butt and imagined hundreds of such aircraft razing through the sky

"Isn't this already a sure win with such tech?" Asked Xyrus as cold sweats beads down his face

"That could be true but it would be useless if such attacks weren't able to even scratch the guy" said Alduin

"The guy?"

"Remember the person who attacked and destroyed half of the kingdom?" Asked Alduin

At that the memory of Kaido suddenly using dangerous nuclear matter on the battlefield as he destroyed half of the kingdom reoccur on Xyrus mind

"You mean..."

"Yup! based on my research that guy is by far no mage, he doesn't possess any magical energy and instead natural element, such that could only be applied on such type of human called Espers, meaning their science have somehow diverge from my science of technology for such humans are concerned about human enhancement and biosymmetrical human DNA which involved having scientific powers that adhere to the natural laws of physics"

Hearing many unfamiliar words made Xyrus feel dumb all of the sudden, for some reason he forgot that Alduin somehow posses otherworldly knowledge

"So your saying that a person aligned to a different science will be a hindrance to your own technology rather than an out of norms powered Hero?" Asked Xyrus

"Exactly! Not only that but with him studying about the use of nuclear energy, he somehow realized the use of such chemical element that basis on such a rock that contains Uranium, ordinary people that stays within it's ranged for barely a huge amount of time always die within a day due to it's radiation, but for some reason he's still alive, so we can conclude that his Esper abilities are somewhere aligned to manipulating elements and chemical matter... . . The only problem is that I'm more inclined to study technology than waste my time on studying chemical formula and systematic algorithm"

"....."

Once again Xyrus was suddenly left speechless from so much unfamiliar terms his hearing that he somehow felt that he have gone deaf or paranoid for not understanding one bit of Alduin's explanation

"Changing the topic what were you doing before I interrupted you?" Asked Xyrus as he tried to dodge a certain topic that he couldn't understand

"Well that? Well it's simply using nano-microbit technology and controlling with a though processor, with it I can make any type of object from a simple sharp sword to a sophisticated armor and Guns"

"Meaning?"

"I'm not making them for me since I can conjure many types of weaponry but it's quite a different story for you guys, with that in though I of course as generous as I can be, decided to give you armory and weaponry that will give you huge advantage in the battlefield but not affecting too much that will shift the balance of power and cause chaos" stated Alduin

"Since I have concluded that guys Esper ability, I tried so hard to maintain to avoid using ordinary metal to create such tech, and instead I conjured a different type of metal that is dozed into may types of foreign elements, and with a little bit of tinkering I manage to create this" he said as he showed a smaller glowing lightcube

"This a photonic powercell that will be the main power source for such armor, and this thing behind me will the close quarter combats armor" said Alduin as he pulled out a sheet of blanket from behind him

"This is... . ."

Once more Xyrus was left speechless from seeing a body fit-size armor in color black hue

"With this baby you will neither feel any discomfort in any battle and can ensure that you'll be armorfied while being able to use the beastmens unique traits that diverged on our ancestral animal features... . . It may look like fiber thread but I can assure you it's durability" he stated with a smile

"And that gun is for the long ranges warrior In replacement for bows, that thing is a type of submachine gun that is reshaped to be able to equip granade launcher, not only that but this thing is also plasma powered that can be recharged through changing of plasma batteries... . . But don't worry this things will be distributed to our army in thousands and millions so that it can be equipped immediately"

With so much going on Xyrus was left astounded as he pulled in a chair and gave up to stand firm on the floor, for some reason he could already see a future that is somehow diverging from their original war to something other dimensional war

"You really outdid yourself" he muttered

"???"

"You after that fight, you've suddenly changed from that horny and lazy hero to something akin to mad genius inventor that desire greater tech" said Xyrus

Hearing that Alduin nodded as he explained

"Well that is true that I can't go back to the way it used to be, but do you know why?" He asked

"Why?"

As Xyrus asked that, he was suddenly once again left speechless from the answer he received

"Because I survived, since I survived from that nuclear blast, meaning that instead of killing me, my genes have already been mutated and if I once again indulge on such nightly activity, I'll be spreading my mutated genes all over that will cause the Extinction of your race in the far future, so to avoid that scenario I occupied myself in improving the battle power of our army" explained Alduin

"So you've though about it that far... . . I'm speechless" replied Xyrus

In return to that reply, Alduin suddenly became smug as he stood up and declared

"You think that was final? Think again"

With that he directed Xyrus to an even bigger open field and showed him the truly monstrosity he have made

Seeing the size reaching about the size of eight story building, with a width of triple of a football field, and weaponry as many than a certain star wars spaceship fleets

Such a thing can only be called a gigantic fortress

"Wawawa... . . What is this?" Asked Xyrus as he begun to shake in fear

"This is my Trump card the "Arial-Sea Fortress Ranked Klien Radiation Powered Battleship Avalon" or you can call it simply Avalon"

"Avalon?!?!?!"

"This baby can fight enemies on land, air, sea and even space if needed, this thing is an all-purpose war fortress that could be exploit as the greatest thing ever!!! With an anti-magic applied function, a metal too much durable that even bombarding it with hundreds of nuclear would be useless, anti-air, land, sea weaponry, fully installed and self conjuring infinite microship army, with a fully equipped hydrolic plasma Lazer, and a fully powered solar blaster, with tripled layer of thick barrier membrane that it would could take on a full blast super Nova, and etc... So many functions that I even lost count, with this as our final Trump card we could be assured that the war is already a guaranteed win for us" he introduced while feeling delighted

With that Xyrus impression of Alduin suddenly officially changed from a lazy/horny bastard to a mad scientific inventor that could reshaped the world if he wants

"This war... . . It's going to be a one bloody hell war"

With a cough, Alduin returned from his delusional state as he regain his composure and stared at Xyrus

"Now! let's get going to that backwater inferior Empire, shall we?"
