Four months passed since Erik's return to Liberty Watch Village, marking a period of significant upheaval and transformation.
Under Noah's directive, Jabir and his team received the schematics to manufacture brain crystal-powered rifles.
This started widespread hunting expeditions around the village to amass a considerable stockpile of brain crystals.
The village also undertook an expansion of its underground tunnels, uncovering additional ores beneficial for their burgeoning manufacturing efforts.
This expansion facilitated the creation of a variety of high-grade armaments and vehicles, thanks to the plentiful supply of ores and Aclaitrium found within the city's bounds.
The alchemy department, too, was in overdrive, producing stimulating serums in vast quantities that enhanced the inhabitants' powers.
