"As you command, My Lord," Ludis bowed to Raskreia and hurried off to deliver the message, carrying with him (X-01).
Sending the message didn't take much time. Using some magical arts of the nobility race, they managed to send it to Regis and Seita.
"Nee-san, an urgent message has arrived," Regis took the message and the box that emerged from the magic circle. "It seems they want you to read the message."
"….." Seira didn't respond to him and started reading the message slowly.
"T- this," Seira's eyes shrank in shock and she handed it to Regis immediately to read. "It seems my Lord is a little worried about this hidden power joining their side."
"No, impossible. Whatever this hidden power is, it can't possibly be on their side," Regis refused to accept the matter, but after reading the message, his eyes became determined. "Nee-san, we must take (X-01) quickly to catch up with our enemies at least."
"Yes, it seems we must hurry," both Seira and Regis swallowed (X-01). "Booom!" Their power exploded, becoming five times stronger. "Come on, Regis, let's go now, quickly."
Whoosh!
The two disappeared at an incredible speed, leaving behind the land that was destroyed due to their rapid movement.
Clank!
In the hidden smithing village, the sound of metal being hammered was like a heavenly song falling from the sky, where everyone in the village listened to the melody.
"His Majesty still hasn't stopped," Moe admired KE's great willpower and endurance. "Patriarch-sama, do you think His Majesty can really develop our clan's (Kotobuki) special blacksmith skills?"
"I don't know," Tetsuya shook his head as he truly didn't know. "But His Majesty himself is a miracle, so I won't be shocked if he creates a new path to a new peak in blacksmithing and weapon crafting."
"And more importantly, we are witnessing a new era in blacksmithing," Moe and the other men nodded to Tetsuya, agreeing. They were the real winners. If their ancestors knew they had such an opportunity, they might cry tears of blood.
Clank!
"This metal is really terrifying," KE continued hammering the metal in his way since morning, and now the sunset had come, stars already appearing, yet the metal hadn't even scratched, as he was burning it with Cosmic Fire Law non-stop. "It seems it's time to use three of the cosmic laws."
Crackle!
KE created a pair of transparent side hands from Etheora and divided a special part of the Etheora flowing from his hands into these other hands.
"Cosmic Sun Law, First Movement: The Eternal Fire" - An intense heat of about fifteen thousand degrees Celsius gathered in KE's Etheora-made hand.
[Cosmic Sun Law, First Movement: The Eternal Fire is a law created by KE, granting the user immense power in controlling high and infinite temperatures as long as there is Etheora.
However, controlling it is very difficult; if the user cannot fully control it, it could destroy half the universe.
This law requires exceptional skill and concentration, and users often seek to balance their power and the great responsibility they bear to avoid disastrous consequences.
This power requires intensive training and a deep understanding of the nature of Etheora itself.
Using "Cosmic Sun Law, First Movement: The Eternal Fire" leaves a spiritual and physical mark on the user, leading to notable internal and external changes.
This law is seen as a double-edged sword; it provides immense power but also carries great risks.]
"Hsssss," KE took a cold breath, his skin becoming pale, and his muscles began to vanish as his body became skin and bones, but he did not stop and started to control "Cosmic Sun Law, First Movement: The Eternal Fire" more strongly because it began to burn his hand. "This is bad, hahaha, it seems I must control it strongly in the future, or all of Nippon will burn."
He laughed like a madman because if not for the formation KE placed around him to prevent anything happening inside from going out, all of Nippon would have burned and turned to ash.
Even the entire planet could be affected because of KE.
"Well, now I've controlled it, and now it's time for the third and final law." The third and final law, with these three high-temperature laws, if it doesn't succeed in melting the metal, he will leave it for the future. "Cosmic Star Law, First Movement: Judgment of the Starry Sky."
[Cosmic Star Law, First Movement: Judgment of the Starry Sky is a law created by KE, given the absence of techniques to protect or support him.
This law grants the user energy derived from stars, whether it's Etheora, physical energy, or spiritual energy, even the ability to heal.
This law draws its power from the star-studded sky, enabling the user to access high levels of energy and extraordinary abilities.
Controlling it requires a deep spiritual and physical harmony with the universe, and using it wisely is crucial to avoid negative consequences.
Practicing this law is considered an art that requires years of meditation and training.]
A huge river studded with the light of imaginary stars descended from the night sky to KE's location.
This was a huge river, but no one could see it except KE or people cultivating Cosmic Star Law.
Surge!
"Increasing energy is really comfortable," KE began to return to his normal state, even his shadows and body began to return, and his burned hands recovered terrifyingly fast. "Now let's see if this metal will not melt."
The metal turned into a small sun due to the strong and very high heat until it melted.
"It has started now," KE immediately noticed the metal melting but very little. "It's… about 2.3%."
(Author: I wrote 2.3% for your convenience so you know how much the metal has melted🫡)
Edo
08:00 PM
"Where is this man, for heaven's sake?" Emilia was looking for KE after she last saw him in Edo. "Why hasn't he returned here, and why has the place completely changed?"
The current Edo was completely different from the past.
Because there were many different projects, and it was clear from the many construction workers and the streets that had been paved, and most importantly, the civil defense army that was everywhere, or rather, all over Nippon.
Emilia didn't come directly to Edo, but she first went to look at other cities to get information.
She was shocked, as was the entire population, when she read the laws.
She knew KE intended to dominate all of Nippon, as there wasn't a single ruler governing this country.
Because she knew there was one thing that made her sure of his action, and it was his aura.
His aura told her everything specifically; since her birth, she was able to understand the meanings of many people's auras, their dreams, and ambitions. The laws she read were simply perfect, and now she understood what KE was aiming for.
"This scoundrel intends to do something that has never existed from the beginning," Emilia gazed deeply at the place where the old rulers used to meet. "It seems I need to enter here and take a good look around. There must be something that leads to him."
She feared no one but KE, as he was the only threat in her life.
Her power was among the highest echelons in this world, as she was in the realm of {Migrating Mirage Rank Infinite Mirage World}, and at its peak, if she had enlightenment, she would directly break through and enter the realm of {Fading Time Rank}.
Seira was also at the same level as Emilia, but Regis was still worse off because he was younger in age. His power was close to the level of {Migrating Mirage Rank Vast Mirage World}, but he was close to breaking through, needing a powerful battle to break his limits. That's why his grandfather sent him with Seira on a mission.
Emilia: {Migrating Mirage Rank Infinite Mirage World}
Seira: {Migrating Mirage Rank Infinite Mirage World}
Regis: {Migrating Mirage Rank Vast Mirage World}
Emilia entered the meeting place quietly and with extreme speed, where no one could sense her presence.
While hiding, she encountered several maids, so she grabbed one and tried to control her.
Her eyes had the ability to cloud the human mind and attempt to control it, but this was only temporary.
This move allowed her to become a library of important and secret information of the entire world.
"Tell me where your ruler's room is," she asked the maid while showing her the map she found in one of the rooms she was searching.
"His Majesty's room is on the top floor, in the right corridor," the maid began to speak enthusiastically. Emilia's special way of control was to temporarily become the maid's imaginary master, making her speak without question or refusal.
"I found you," Emilia quickly made her way through the corridor, intending to go to the top floor. "Seriously, why are there so many guards?"
Of course, there were many guards, and many of them had Etheora. These were the officials and many young people protecting the place.
This place was the most important in all of Nippon, where KE, his family, and his women were all located.
Thus, it was difficult for Emilia to avoid being seen by them.
She did not want to be seen as a thief or even a spy, or else how would she get close to KE? "Tch, it seems I have to use my skills, but I must be careful not to show my aura {Shadow Tracing Technique: Total Integration}."
[Shadow Tracing Technique: Total Integration is a complex and unique martial and magical art, combining physical precision and mystical powers.
Using the aura (Etheora), practitioners of this art can completely control shadows, blending themselves with darkness and using it as an invincible tool in combat.
The main feature of this art is its ability to make the aura (Etheora) undetectable to others, providing an element of surprise and stealth.
Additionally, this technique grants practitioners exceptional speed when moving in shadows, making them unpredictable and difficult to capture opponents.]
