Chapter 560: # 560 Ark Discovered, and Divine Core Completed.
When Albus reported the discovery of the âArkâ, we immediately used the [Gate] to reach the Val Albus, which lurks at the bottom of the deep sea.
Discover the âArkâ lurking deep in the bottom of the trench on a front monitor floating on a dimly lit ship.
âItâs definitely the âArkâ.â I finally found it. â
Well, I hope you find it, but what do you want to do? Assault with all your might and knock down the âArkâ?
âNo⌠remember when you discovered the [Ark].â The Ark suddenly disappeared while we were blocked from sight by the smoke screen, right? If you do it badly, youâll become such a second acter, wonât you? â
No. The doctor is right. Now I think thatâs the ability of the [Evil God Vessel] possessed by the submersible helmet man.
Thereâs a good chance theyâll be metastasized for a short time. I need to defeat that submersible helmet man or make sure I canât use my evil artifactâŚ
âItâs not good to be in this sea all the time. Albus, we should leave some of the spheres in surveillance and move the Vahr Albus. If they find us, weâll be wasting our advantage.â
Roger that.
At the suggestion of the doctor, the Vahr Albus slowly gets out of the waters where the âArkâ is.
Itâs true that the Doctor is right, if they find us, they could escape again with a diversion.
Canât you get into that [Teleport] all at once?
âProbably because the barrier is stretched.â Itâs not unlikely that theyâll bounce and transfer into the deep sea. I donât recommend it. â
The doctor rejects Sueâs proposal. âThatâs exactly what Iâm talking aboutâŚâ Iâm sorry that the water pressure turns me into a pechanko.
But if we keep an eye on him, we wonât have to worry about the port city getting attacked anymore.
âNo, thatâs also suspicious.â You donât have to get out of the Ark to spawn. We can simply transfer the Cyclops directly into the waters of the port town of interest. â
âI-I see⌠I canât help myself to the transfer magicâŚâ
I, Sakura, Hachimun, and Yoshino frowned slightly at the words of Yae returned to Lean. No, I know youâre not talking about us, okay?
I know what everyone wants to say. My teeth are itchy that I canât launch an attack when I have enemies in front of me. They may transfer and escape the moment they see us, so they canât even reach out to us.
After all, I had no choice but to destroy that submarine helmet manâs evil artifact. But when that happens, weâll also need artifacts to break it. A new artifact.
I need to create a new artifact⌠to complete the âDivine Coreâ, which becomes the heart of the artifactâŚ
So far, I think about 90% of things are going well. I was able to compress the golf ball. If I could compress it to the marbles from there, it would be complete.
I knew it was urgent to complete the artifact.
âIn the meantime, while monitoring this thing, letâs try to sneak in the direction of the exploration sphere and the transmitter directly.â There must be a place where you can get into ballast tanks and drains. â
So we can track him if he gets away with the transfer? âButâŚâ
Even if you break in, the barrier wonât let you send us your location.
âWell, Iâll leave you to it.â Once youâre inside, weâll be able to take care of it. â
I canât help but laugh at the confidently smiling Doctor, but itâs a villainâs laughâŚ
âBut winter nights often feel like that, donât they?â
âYeah, just like winter nights when you look bad.â
Hahaha, Lindsay, Elsie, what are you both talking about? How could I have such a mean smile? Hey, guys?
I asked for your consent, but no one nodded to me. Let it sting.
âââ
âGuuuuuuuuuâŚ!â
Compressing the Divine Core while sweating. As the golf ball became smaller, it was being pushed even harder.
Slowly, carefully, and carefully compress it as it bursts out of focus.
Heâs been fighting this guy for two hours. At first, the children who looked interesting gradually got tired of it, and no one noticed. Iâm a little lonelyâŚ
Good luck, Lord [Aji]!
Donât lose your temper till the end!
Have mercy on me, left alone by my children, or Amber and Ruri are sending me some ale. They also watched over the corals, Obsidian, and Red Jade.
Then two more hours of fighting in the courtyard.
After lunch, I was no longer at the edge of exhaustion, and finally managed to compress the Divine Core from a golf ball to a slightly larger marble.
âAh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, heyâŚ!â
My Divine Core was completed by locking it around the Divine Core, and locking it safely enough that I would never have to open it again, as if I had to tear it apart in a six-sided puzzle.
âSo, Iâm hereâŚâ
As soon as it was completed, I fell flat on my face. [M]
Oh, no⌠my limit⌠I donât want to move one fingerâŚ
Are you all right? Lord [Aji]âŚâŚ
âItâs no goodâŚâ
âIâm too tired to spin my lawâŚâ Iâve never been so tired from coming to another world. I didnât even have the energy to use my healing magic. If an assassin assaults us right now, weâll get him.
Kukuku, messengers of the evil gods. Nowâs your biggest chance. If you miss this plane, youâll never get a chance to defeat me again. âYouâve missed your chanceâŚ!â
âŚâŚ my mind is going crazyâŚâŚ
Even if an assassin were to come, the amber would be able to protect us.
Without the magic tanks in Babylon, even the amber would have disappeared.
Looking at the Divine Core rolling on the ground in front of you while you are knocked down.
A true spherical lens that radiates the magic of platinum like a solar flame. It is definitely completed as a divine nucleus. I finally did it, and unexpectedly the edge of my mouth was loose.
In order not to lose [storage]⌠Well, even if I lose it, Iâll come back if I say âGo backââŚ
I managed to open a Storage on the ground and dropped the Divine Core into it.
âAh, Iâm really at my limitâŚâ
I let go of my consciousness while being watched by amber with a pleasant sense of fatigue.
âââ
âHmmm⌠this is a pretty good first.â Itâs perfect as a nucleus of artifacts. â
Oh⌠I did it. Kraft-san, the god of crafts, has given us his approval. That hard and demanding work is over.
Having finally created the âDivine Nuclearâ, I came to the craft god Kraft in the Mismid Kingdom to see the results.
So, did you decide on the vessel of the artifact?
âThatâs right⌠can I make a shaped artifact that changes depending on the situation?â
âAuxiliary?⌠Oh, you mean the music god.â There are two types of shapeshifting artifacts. One is the one that reads the userâs thoughts and changes to what they read. The artifact of the god of music, âChiyo Mandarinâ, is this way. The other type is that some shapes are determined from the beginning, and they change depending on the situation. Both have advantages and disadvantages. â
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Craft?
First, those who change freely. Each time, we need a detailed image of how to change it.
Therefore, if the original form⌠is âChiyo Mandarinâ, you must correctly remember and understand the shape of the instrument. In other words, if you are a piano, you must also know all the structures such as the internal hammer.
Well, thatâs impossible. No, it might be complicated because Playaâs is an instrument.
I didnât think that a sword, spear, axe, or any other simple weapon would require such a complicated image, but it seemed that we had to imagine things like weight and hardness. âThatâs toughâŚâ
The advantage of the free type is that it can be deformed in any form. It means that it can be changed into a new thought.
And the disadvantage is that you need a perfect image. I needed to make some special adjustments to the vessel. In other words, it is difficult to make.
And the other one. Shall I say switching type?
The advantage of this person is that it takes a short time to change, and there is no burden on the user. Easy to produce.
The disadvantage, of course, is that it can only be changed to the type of shape that was decided at the beginning. It means that we canât make any additional changes after completion.
âUnder those conditions, I wonder if the switching type is betterâŚâ
The fact that it is less burdensome for the user and the fact that it is easier to produce it are appreciated.
Iâm a novice at making artifacts. I want to avoid very challenging works.
âWell, I donât think youâre going to make much of a mistake.â The type that changes freely needs fine adjustments, so itâs not intended for beginners. For makers and users alike. â
âAh, can you make that weapon giant?â The Divine Artifact of the Evil God has that ability.
Huge? Oh, itâs an Optimize function that changes to the most appropriate shape for the handlesâ physique. Itâs an organic property that has nothing to do with the divine nucleus, so itâs relatively easy to retrofit. â
I see. Itâs not a divine artifact core trait, itâs a weapon material trait. Sure enough, it was enormous and thunderous.
Thatâs why itâs a special effect that you put on the artifact, but itâs okay to use Magic Disable .
âYes, please.â
Magic Disable . As the name implies, the targetâs magic is disabled. In other words, it blocks the ability of my mind.
With this artifact, we can prevent the transfer of that submarine helmet manâs evil artifact. However, in order to do so, the target must be drawn within a range centered on itself.
âBut⌠if you think about it, itâs weird.â
What do you want?
âThe Messenger of the Evil God has the artifact.â Thatâs a lot of it, too. Where did these come from? â
âHuh? Thatâs⌠an evil god, isnât it?â Only the God Clan can make it. â
What is it now? The evil god that Yura created. And that Neete god who took over the evil god, created and left behind that evil godâs artifact, right?
Is it possible for a former subordinate god to create such a pompous artifact in such a short period of time?
âWhen I was told thatâŚâ
I think the one the Evil Godâs Apostle had was a artifact⌠Or is it not an artifact? Returning to the artifact? But Iâm looking forward to it⌠â
How many tricks did you make during the Dependent God era�
âI donât think anyone who makes such tricks and efforts will fall there.â
Mm-hmm. Sure. He didnât make much effort, and he blamed the people around him for the inconvenience, and said, âIâm not serious yet.â
Thereâs no way heâs working so hard to make tricks and artifacts.
âSo⌠where did that evil artifact come from?â
âHave you rebuilt the original artifactâŚ?â Or⌠itâs not an artifact, is it? â
After all, itâs just a mess? No, because the evil god is not an official god in the first place, it is a strange story to refer to the artifact he made.
âThere are several examples of evil gods creating such a miraculous weapon.â Like the Evil Saint Sword. But there werenât so many of them, just one or two. â
For now, the brown meat-cutting knife and purple spear destroyed by Yakumo and Frei, the blue hand axe held by the submersible helmet man, the red rapier held by the man with the pest mask, and the orange mace of the iron masked woman who said that Yakumo had met.
At least five evil artifacts were created. There were a lot of them, Iâm sure.
âPerhaps thisâŚâ
Mr. Craft showed a little contemplation, but immediately shook his hat and returned his gaze to me.
âWell, I canât help thinking about it.â So, I was talking about changing the artifact, but how do you change it? Ah, letâs get rid of the giant. â
âHow many streets are there? Even if they say soâŚâ
âNormally, these kinds of transformation artifacts can be used by anyone, or they can be used in an ad hoc manner depending on the situation, but in your case, have you already decided how to use them?â
A user of artifacts. Um⌠I canât do it with Yumina or me, so Iâm going to entrust it to one of the kidsâŚ
Is this Yakumo as an elderly person? Even though it was a sword in the Eight Clouds.
No, my eldest son. Brunnhildeâs heir, Eternity⌠Eternity, whatâs the weapon? Is it a normal sword? I use Silver or something.
Linnaeus had a fighting sense⌠maybe a gauntlet for her?
No, I want to use it myself! âIt seems like youâre going to say something about Frei⌠âThen the other childrenâŚâ
âHmmmâŚâŚâ
âIâm worried about who to make it forâŚâ
In the first place, I wanted to use a changing artifact because the opponent was using an enormous artifact to match the Cyclops.
Because I thought I couldnât fight without the enormous artifact.
However, according to Craft, it seems that the enormity can be granted separately.
Then it doesnât have to be a weapon of change.
âI can tell youâŚâ
I think it would be very tough to give only one of the children a suitable artifactâŚ
I knew it would be better if the artifact turned into a weapon that suited everyone. Everyone has more freedom to use it, and somebodyâs out of company.
âThen there are nine streetsâŚâ Thatâs a lot. Not anymore.
âItâs a divine artifact that changes into nine kinds.â I donât think so. Now, letâs get ready under the vessel. It would be better if it was made of God-resistant stone. â
Having said that, Kraft-san took out a pure white stone like a pickled stone from the empty space.
Divine Refractory. A special ore used in our wedding rings, it can have various properties depending on the spirit it pours into.
Speaking of which, the design of our wedding ring was made by Mr. Craft, the god of crafts, Iâm sure.
When I received the Divine Refractory handed over by Kraft-san and poured out my sparkle, the white Divine Refractory gradually glowed platinum.
âŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ
âŚâŚ er, how long will you inject this? Itâs been a long time. Not yet?
âAs far as I can.â It becomes more familiar with your spirit and powerful, so I canât put it on later. â
⌠Seriously. Itâs not technically difficult, but Iâll pour it to the limit⌠Not only the Divine Core, but also those who make vessels are struggling⌠â
Iâm starting to understand how other gods donât want to make too many artifacts⌠âItâs enough to make one for yourselfâŚâ
A few hours later, Kraft-san looked at the refractory stone with satisfaction, in spite of me, who seemed to be dry with most of her spirit.
âHmm. Excellent. Now weâll have no problem with the materials.â What are we going to do with the shape of the weapon that serves as a weapon? If thatâs all, I can make it, or I can make it myself. â
So what do we do with the weapon design? Naturally, it would be best to ask the god of crafts, Mr. Craft, but this is what I give to the children. After all, I want to do it on my own until the end.
Even if the design is clumsy, thereâs no difference in performanceâŚ
Even though I was sucked out of my aura and scolded, I decided to do it, but I couldnât do it right now.
Yeah, starting tomorrow. Letâs start making artifacts tomorrow.
But the unexpected words of Mr. Craft fly to me.
Oh, I need the Divine Core in a changing form, so Iâll make eight more.
ââŚâŚ Wow?â
Eh, what are you talking about, this god [person]?
Just making one was such a big deal, and making eight more!? Die!? The devil, you!? God, is that so!
âShhhâŚâ
âââ
âSo, here I comeâŚâ
I fell to the ground without knowing why I had never been there. [M]
Since then, Iâve been fooled by Mr. Kraftâs unfounded words, âItâs done once, so it should be easier to make next timeâ, and I thought Iâd really run out of energy, so I was squeezed out of energy, physical strength, and divine power by creating a divine nucleus.
Itâs been a week. He was put under house arrest by Mr. Craft for a week, and he was made all the time. I want to praise myself for making eight divine nuclei in seven days!
As Kraft said, we were able to create all eight additional divine nuclei without fail because we had a successful experience. Is that a breakthrough?
But being able to make it easier than before doesnât mean youâre not tired at all.
âOn the contrary, you know the goal, so you know the length of the journeyâŚâ I feel like Iâm tired before Iâm tired⌠I donât know what youâre talking about. âI donât know eitherâŚâ
Anyway, Iâm tired⌠I donât know if I can sleep for three days or soâŚ
Itâs harder to make a switching type than a free typeâŚ?
Thereâs only one Divine Core, right? âItâs easier that wayâŚâ
âUsually it is a switching type, but there are about two or three shapes that can be changed.â If you want to change all nine, it is definitely better to have a free type. However, if the user was a God Clan. I think the switching type would be better if it was handled by humans. â
Mr. Kraft explains how to make the godâs nucleus.
Hmm, because the children are demigods, half of them are gods, but half of them are humans. You can swallow this fatigue if you think itâs enough to burden me and not those girls.
Originally, artifacts were built over a longer period of time. I donât usually make a full marathon at this speed.
If you make it slowly, the switching type might be easier overallâŚ
âWell, if youâre going to make a divine nucleus like this, itâs probably easier to make nine more artifactsâŚâ
âIt is not recommended to create too many artifacts on the ground.â You are the one who brings chaos to the earth and manages its artifacts. Basically, the artifact is immortal. From now on, you will be responsible for the future. I donât think itâs a good idea to take any extra risks. â
Hmm. Sure. Divine artifacts can be a seedbed that creates new evil gods if they are poor. The higher the number, the greater the danger. Considering what happened in the future, I wonder if there is still one artifactâŚ
âWell, if you put it in the [Pantheon] vault of the Ten Thousand Temples, you wonât have to worry about it being stolenâŚâ
âThatâs it, isnât it?â Once you throw it in, it will take thousands of years for you to find itâŚ.. â
Well, leave that aside.
Are you going to leave it? Isnât there a God who manages it? I think it would be very helpful if we could retrieve the appropriate artifacts.
But when I say it, I donât say a word because I feel like the job is going to turn over to me. Thousands, tens of thousands of years of warehousing.
âThe Divine Core gathered as many as they needed. All you have to do is complete the vessel, but have you decided on the nine types to make it?â
âMostly. Thereâs only one thing bothering me.â
Eight Clouds were swords, Linne was gauntlets, Erna was wands, Jiuyue was swords, Arcia was daggers, Koon was guns, and so on.
âThe rest of Frei, Yoshino, and StefâŚâ
Frei is a versatile type, so I think I can use a spear or something.
Stef used Prison , and since he was using a hitting technique, he could use a shield charge to push in his shields.
The problem is Yoshino. Whatâs Yoshinoâs best weapon?
Basically, she doesnât fight⌠I guess sheâs a support. A good weapon⌠a musical instrument?
Like spinning a guitar and hitting it? No, no, thatâs not the right way to use it. Yoshino is sad when he uses an instrument like that.
Ah, but I feel like I saw a guitar axe somewhere in the past. It was like a combination of an axe and a guitar.
Letâs think about Yoshino in one direction.
Even if it changes into nine kinds of weapons, it doesnât mean that Yakumo can only use swords. You can fight with a spear, or you can shoot with a gun. After all, itâs up to the user.
I just wanted to let them use my childrenâs special weapons. Depending on the situation, you can use the form you want to use.
Alright, letâs turn the god refractory into a weapon.
âAh, hiâŚâ
I felt a little gloomy about how much longer it would take for Mr. Craft to say that with a smile.
