Kapitel 865: Departure

Two days had passed for the people of the Sea of Demons, but for me, those two days stretched into two months. While the city celebrated, my time was spent in the Lord of Lords Pagoda, focused entirely on the creation of new reactors and the forging of new weapons. The constant hum of machinery and the glow of Soulsteel filled my days and nights. In those two months, I had built several reactors and integrated them into a complex network of artificial meridians that I could later attach to the ship. The process was meticulous—each connection needed to be perfect to ensure the ship would perform as expected in the vastness of the Beyond.

The Soulsteel I had acquired—massive cubes harvested from the Bastion—had also been put to good use. With it, I could reinforce the ship's structure, armoring it against the unknown threats that awaited us. The Soulsteel's unique properties meant that the ship's hull would now be impenetrable by ordinary means.
