Chapter 58: Calculated Risk

Shortly before the battle between Nera and Gravana had begun.

Alchemy and Rio sat at the makeshift conference table.

"How did you like the [Chrysalis Nexus], Mr. Rio?" Alchemy asked, sipping Celestian juice.

"What else do you want me to say, young goddess? I've already given the highest praise I possibly could. To think that even such a functionally simple tool could be used to learn the finer details of what materials are made of… This could revolutionize how infrastructure and tools are made!"

Hearing Rio being excited made Alchemy nod, a slight chuckle following suit.

"I'm glad, but it's a shame. I have plenty of knowledge to give to the world, but my children lack the ability to make it a reality."

Curiously, Rio slightly opened one of his eyes to look at Alchemy.

"What do you mean? Surely you're not saying your own kin are too unintelligent to make do with what you have?"
