Two hours later, Almond was done, so he started cooking.
From all around him, many items began floating along with several artifacts.
‘Let’s hope I succeed.’
He could create a blueprint, and others would be able to construct it, but the main and most important core was something only he could create.
It was his idea, and it had expanded since he finished the Spirit Lord project and gleaned more into the Spirit Animation power.
In a basic sense, it shaped memories into metaphysical things.
Everyone and everything has memories in this world. Even a flowing river has memories, a rock has memories.
His Spirit Dealer class could create spirits out of dead living beings because Spirit Animation was easiest to do on living beings like humanoids and monsters. Living beings have solid information and memories, so Spirit Animation could birth a soul from the target’s soulful, vibrant memories with abundant information about their experience.
As such, that class had the power to create solid items with powers, as well as Spirit Kodoku which resulted in a ‘living’ Spirit Wraith with a pseudo-soul.
Almond was sure there was more to Spirit Animation’s power, but what he already knew was more than enough for now, as he had completely mastered it after finishing the Spirit Lord project.
That was why he wanted to scan everything powerful on this planet with his All-Seeing Eyes and learn about them.
He wanted to use Spirit Animation to specifically create a metaphysical power source orb with specific powers to refine one’s body and increase their stats, just like the one he experienced in the Vitalis Crucible Tower.
Many Artifacts had useful power sources, and some items, especially some Legendary-rank Herbs, and Metal, also had properties that could be helpful.
The source in Vitalis Crucible Tower gave immense pain to people and literally burned them inside out, but even while hurting them, it maintained their foundation and also had healing properties such that their fibers and every single cell would refine to become powerful instead of burned to death.
So, he wanted to create a meta-physical object, a core of power source that could birth energy when given other energies like Mana and support from this planet’s core.
Only he could do that because he had All-Seeing Eyes and Spirit Animation mastery and because he commanded Arcane!
With his will exerting the creation of this, he would succeed.
And he never liked to give up once he decided to do something.
…
An hour passed by as everyone was present and waiting, but no one was getting bored.
All of their eyes were on Almond and a strange phenomenon in front of him ten meters above.
An orb whirled in the middle with fiery dark orange flames while golden threads weaved around it as the flames’ color changed again, gaining a hint of green and light blue hue.
As everyone was watching, old monster Christina spoke, “There it is. I also sensed the unique energy pattern of my Luminous Saint Cross artifact. I could feel it.”
“How is he doing that? The artifact’s powers are unique than even I, who wielded that Trident of Neptune for long and bound with it, can’t replicate its energy construct.”
“Almond’s eyes can see more. He can see the formations that unleash the effects of our artifacts,” Bianca narrowed her eyes. “And he may have a powerful Intent or something like that which could allow him to replicate that.”
“It’s one thing to replicate, but that orb in the middle…he is weaving something from multiple different attributes that he replicates from artifacts and those other things. That’s absurd,” James muttered. “To word it in ways for simple understanding, it’s like specifically building the DNA structure of an Axolotl, rendering its ultra-powerful regenerative power, and specifically inputting it into…let’s say gorilla. The result? We would get a gorilla that can regenerate its limbs, organs, spinal cords, and everything. Now add a few more of these genetic abilities from different animals and put it into one.”
James wryly smiled and continued. “That’s what Almond is doing. He is taking specific effects from artifacts, materials, and other resources to build something.”
“Since he wants to create a facility that can increase our physical stats, he must be creating an energy that can help with that.”
“We have our training methods, and for physical stats, we have to suffer and work hard a lot to increase even a little bit. It’s like going to the gym but hundreds of times tougher and slower,” Admiral Rudra said with a smile. “From the looks of it, Almond is creating a flame that can cause suffering to our bodies, but the result would also be faster and better.”
“Yeah,” Arjun nodded as he looked at the orb’s center. “Surya Astra Bow’s flame is the core of that orb, and Almond is modifying it.”
“That’s the best choice,” Viktor laughed. “Surya Astral Bow’s flame is the most destructive, but he is adjusting it to make sure we also get rewarded when we get burned by it.”
Suddenly, Almond’s arms moved after being still for an hour, and everyone saw a pulse of energy spreading.
In front of him, the energies slowly subdivided as a metallic orb with eccentric orange and gold patterns with green and red hues came into everyone’s view.
Almond breathed a sigh of relief and turned around with a smile. “Step one is clear.”
Just as everyone was watching the mystical metallic sphere, it vanished.
Almond appeared before them and said, “The most important task is done. Now, I’ll need ten minutes to create the blueprint as I already have an idea and inspiration for it. After that, I’ll leave it up to you all to build it on the spot you decided.”
“Yeah, we got the best spot to build it after searching for two hours,” Guild Leader Liam chuckled. “I can’t wait for the final product.”
…
Ten minutes later, Almond was done and handed over the copies to Blueprint to everyone.
“And Grim Breakers,” Almond said as he looked at Lily and the whole gang who had arrived. “Let’s go. We are going to the Labyrinth now. It’s time to clear up to the 12th floor in two days. You all cleared the floors, but we’ll re-start from the 7th floor since that’s where I left.”
After saying that, Almond didn’t even let anyone speak and snapped his finger as he took everyone with him, teleporting to the nearest Labyrinth Gate.
Meanwhile, the guild masters and old monsters who were looking at the blueprint were shocked.
“Ugh, I’ll need some help on understanding this.”
“This size… is it going to be five hundred meters tall?” Aarav asked, his expression dumbfounded. “And the metal…”
Turning to James, he weakly smiled, “It seems like we are going to be working non-stop for a few days.”
“All of us,” James snorted as he eyed the old monsters. “You all better work your ass off.”
Admiral Rudra rolled up his sleeves. “Order supplies of Mana potions from your forces. We are going to need a lot of them if we want to finish this in one sitting, and it would likely take a day at most with all of us working together.”
“Maybe even shorter.”

While Earth was preparing for their plan, Neo Elvergarde, the Arcane Champion of Cyberterra Planet, surprisingly went to the base of Planet Eldoren to meet with its dark elf Arcane Champion, Zanathriel Umbraaris Midnight.
