Chapter 865

Orb of Storm.

Peitel gave that name to the object he created to contain the energy of the Gram.

"Shouldn't we call it the Orb of Thunder? After all, you put the energy of Gram in this object."

[Murakan, what's the point of naming it after my deceased older brother? It should bear my name. Isn't that right, commander-in-chief? Besides, this now serves as a device for my manifestation.]

After leaving the subspace of Bluebird Islands, Peitel was manifesting through the Orb of Storm.

Manifestation through Yulian could burden his body. Such manifestation was a privilege of a god, who specialized in 'materializing' abilities.

Everyone marveled at Peitel's behavior. Jet had begun to feel that Peitel was a threat to his own position.

While it seemed quite burdensome, no one disliked Peitel. Especially Ameris found it adorable and chuckled, while Peitel had already shown a tendency to follow Ameris, calling her 'elder sister'.

"Any name is fine. If you like this name, Peitel, then Orb of Storm it is."

[Exactly. The name doesn't matter much. Murakan, don't fuss over names.]

[Haha, as expected, elder sister Ameris is the best. Why did I not come to Tikan earlier and wasted time while hiding?]

The crucial thing is its purpose, not the name.

The residual energy of the Gram had such a huge force that even Peitel was surprised. Although Tujad had received that power entirely, he had not shown any significant achievements. But that was because he hadn't properly harnessed the power of the Gram. Even if he used it properly, the outcome would likely have been the same against Jin, Luna, and Luntia.

[Indeed, our commander-in-chief is a skilled negotiator. Well, speaking of my abilities, you need them to fulfill the goals like, completing the Golden Ship and liberating the remaining members of the Plutonian tribe and Battle God....]

Peitel shivered briefly as he recalled Battle God, Vahn.

He had never fought at the frontline when the Plutonian tribe waged war against the gods. He had only engaged in a few skirmishes on a smaller scale, and even those were not on the frontline.

However, he had witnessed the moment when his older brother, Gram, died at the hands of Vahn. At that time, it felt like no matter what god appeared they would never be able to win against Vahn.

[Haha, do you really have to call those formidable friends?]

"As I explained earlier, the True Demon World will soon disrupt the human world. And even if my brethren return to the human world, there won't be any reckless war of conquest as before, so don't worry."

[True... Well, if they are on our side, there's probably no other friends more reliable than the Plutonian tribe. Regardless of how strong the True Demon World is, it's probably weaker than the peak of the Plutonian tribe.]

"Hey, Peitel."

[Ridiculous! You're neither the commander-in-chief, nor elder sister Ameris, nor Murakan. How dare you speak to me like that!]

As Qwaul called him, Peitel burst out angrily. Qwaul was about to retort in anger but seeing Valeria's expression, he clicked his tongue inwardly.

"...I, I apologize. Mr. Peitel, I was curious if you had understood the blueprints you're looking at right now."

[Yeah, that's more like it. As soon as I saw the blueprints, I understood it. I almost forgot, my memories are starting to come back. In the final battle with the Plutonian tribe, Battle God led the Golden Ship. Among our gods, we paid great attention to the production of the Golden Ship starting from its early stages.]

Peitel briefly recalled memories from that time.

[In the end, we couldn't stop the fleet from being completed, but we identified its critical weakness. That's why we managed to win against the Plutonian tribe with just minimal losses during the war.]

"Weakness?"

Qwaul was the most surprised by that statement.

While the blueprints of the Golden Ship were incomplete, Qwaul had thought it was the most perfect work he had seen in his entire life. Peitel was talking about weaknesses in such a blueprints.

[The Plutonian tribe do something called resonance centered around Battle God. It's the act of enhancing the power of illuminating hearts of the rest through the power of Battle God. The Golden Ship's power decreased significantly when it couldn't achieve that resonance. Therefore, as long as Battle God is isolated, the fleet itself doesn't pose a threat to the gods.]

"Ah...! Now I understand. The Golden Ship was one as a whole! Until now, I've been working on each ship as an independent entity, so it was bound to be difficult. So the problem isn't about flaws in the blueprints or unfinished parts, I tried to complete it by excluding the existence of Battle God?"

[You lack manners but you're quite intelligent, Qwaul. But your approach was not wrong. Didn't I just say it's a weakness? Each ship is individual, and they shouldn't have performance issues even without the resonance of Battle God.]

Jin agreed with Peitel's opinion.

What the current Vamel alliance needed was not defense through 'transcendent individuals' but powerful weapons that could be wielded even by ordinary people, like the Mana Suction Injection Acceleration Cannons installed in Tikan. Anyone who knew how to use those cannons could operate them.

"So, how should we proceed?"

Qwaul asked with a more polite tone.

[It's simple. We need to adjust it so that we can maximize the power source without relying on the resonance of Battle God. The Plutonian tribe didn't manage to do that. But you've me. Compared to creating weapons for the contractors, this is a simple task.]

"Can you solve it immediately then? A few illuminating hearts are ready."

[No, it will take some time. If my authority and strength were the power source, I could do it quickly. But as you can see, my condition isn't great right now. Even maintaining this form would become difficult if I were to further divide my strength. Plus, I can't fully harness the power of my true self in the human world.]

Therefore, the power of the Golden Ship needed to be generated through the essential materials, the illuminating hearts.

Peitel added an explanation that he would need time to understand the characteristics of the Plutonian tribe in order to process the illuminating hearts. He explained that the abilities of the Storm God and the working of the illuminating hearts were merely similar in appearance but fundamentally different powers.

[However, I think we can start by creating one power source using the Orb of Storm. Unlike the illuminating hearts, it won't require much study and understanding. Despite my deep resentment during my lifetime, it's still my older brother's power, so I should be able to process it quickly.]

The reason Peitel could hide within the tomb of the Gram was that he could imitate his power.

Obtaining the residual energy of the Gram and creating the first power source for the Golden Ship through it were both unexpected gains while looking for Peitel.

"The performance of a ship powered by the Orb of Storm, how would you estimate it compared to the actual Golden Ship?"

[It won't be on par with the flagship operated directly by Battle God back then, but it won't be inferior to Kozec. If we apply the spatial jump technology of the Red Owl as well, it might be the strongest in existence. Moreover, unlike Battle God's fleet, there won't be any change in performance regardless of who operates it.]

Even though the entire fleet wasn't complete, adding such a ship would be like a rainstorm during a drought at this point.

Furthermore, the task of processing the illuminating hearts would also be resolved with time. By then, they would be creating an entire fleet, not just individual ships.

[Two weeks. In about two weeks, we can convert the Storm Orb into the power source for the Golden Ship.]

"That's about the time when Ayula's manifestation is expected. It's also a time anticipated to mark the start of the full transfer of the True Demon World, so that's very pleasing."

When Jin spoke with satisfaction, Peitel responded with a sly smile.

[Qwaul, can you complete the remaining parts other than the power source? Seeing our commander-in-chief so pleased, it's quite uplifting. It means I'm getting excited to work.]

Yulian and Caltor were itching to disappear somewhere every time Peitel flattered Jin.

"Yes. Finally, we can see the first fruit of this extensive research...! Just as Valeria said, now that I've met Mr. Peitel, I can actually create one Golden Ship!"

"I was just mentioning a hopeful scenario, but still. I never imagined the problem would be solved this easily."

As the creation of the Golden Ship began to take shape, the most significant remaining task was the liberation of Laprarosa.

However, Peitel mentioned that in the matter of liberating Laprarosa, he couldn't come up with a sharp plan.

[This isn't about bringing the Plutonian tribe back into the world. I will indeed examine the liberation device created by Qwaul and Valeria before starting the processing of the Orb of Storm, but it's best not to have high expectations, commander-in-chief. That subspace was created by Solderet, so the possibility of my intervention is slim.]

"I'd be lying if I said it's not disappointing, but Mr. Peitel, just the Golden Ship alone, you're already playing a significant role. Don't burden yourself too much, and please take a look."

[Saying that makes me oddly more eager to examine it closely. I'll go check it out, and if there's anything that I can do, I'll let you know immediately. Haha, and as for that golem named Iello, you can have expectations. After I study the illuminating hearts, I'll see if I can apply it to the golem too.]

"Oh, that's good to hear."

[Even if my manifestation is through Gram, I need Yulian and Caltor to be nearby. Should I take these guys with me?]

"Of course."

Qwaul, Valeria, and Peitel's group left the conference room. Peitel and Qwaul exchanged shoulder pats and even hummed a tune as they left.

'If we wait for about two weeks, we can finally see the first Golden Ship. Since it's now just a matter of time until the fleet is produced, we'll have more leeway until we free my brethren even if the True Demon World comes to surface.'

The Magic Knight Unit had also reached a level where they could be deployed in real battles, and the mass-produced Iellos could also be further enhanced as Peitel had suggested. The preparations of Vamel alliance for war were progressing successfully.

Soon, Jin skimmed through the other reports on the table. They were all reports related to the dimensional fractures of the True Demon World.

"Murakan."

"Yeah, what is it?"

"As elder sister Yona suggested, we should summon Tess and have a discussion. Let's call Ms. Cuicantelle as well."
