Chapter 802 697: Deep Into the Mist
The soul creation of the core mother machine definitely surpasses Kane's golden skill.
The soul creation of the core mother machine is from nothing to existence.
Through a mysterious and intricate array and runes, it expends energy to create a real soul.
It's like simulating the rules of soul genesis.
However, Kane's soul core, in essence, is about fusing soul fragments into a new soul, not from nothing.
More like re-forging, turning waste into treasure.
Kane now has the confidence to create more intelligent AI with stronger learning capabilities.
Having learned better techniques naturally allows him to innovate upon the old ones.
It must be said, coming here was the right choice.
Spending over a day watching from the side was definitely worth it.
At this time, Kreya and Lilu also woke up one after another.
Kane walked over, smiling, and asked, "So, after thinking for so long, you must have gained a lot."
Kreya nodded, and without saying more, directly entered the soul state burning with black and white flames.
Behind her, soul knights started to appear, 1, 2, 5, 10...
Until they reached the limit of 30, yet soul knights kept emerging.
Eventually, there were over a hundred, filling the entire space before Kreya dispersed them all.
After clearly demonstrating her gains, Kreya said, "Give me some more time, and I should be able to make all my attacks carry soul penetration."
It seems Kreya's gains are indeed significant.
Soul penetration is different from soul attack.
The difference between the two is like that between physical attack and physical penetration.
Very intuitive.
The breakthrough in the soul knights allowed Kreya to truly become a one-person army.
Do not underestimate Kreya's soul knights; when acting with Kreya, these soul knights are both whole and individual, capable of performing 1 + 1 > 2.
Although the current limit of soul knights is unknown, it's estimated to be at least over 100.
This drastically enhances Kreya's group combat capabilities.
Coupled with the Gate of the Undead, and Kreya's ability to use the Flame of Death to make the corpses of enemies rise as temporary undead.
Kreya can now truly be called an army of one.
As for what Lilu gained, Kane didn't bother to ask; he didn't want to embarrass himself.
Without understanding Lilu's fairy tale magic, it's difficult to comprehend her understanding and gains.
Too abstract; even Kane sometimes finds it hard to understand.
Only when Lilu actually presents results to Kane, might he be able to understand in which aspect she's improved.
However, bringing Lilu along wasn't just for this reason.
Looking at Lilu, Kane asked, "Seeing the process of this machine creating life, can you use the Authority of the Soul to accelerate this process,
allowing it to produce more intelligent mechanisms in a day?"
The longest part of the core mother machine's creation of an intelligent mechanism is the condensation of a brand-new soul.
The body construction takes only about half an hour.
Hearing Kane's question, No. 1 on the side became excited.
After all, this concerns the speed of expanding his species.
Upon hearing Kane's question, Lilu shook her head and thought for a moment.
"Lilu can use the soul's wall to speed up this process, but not by much, because this machine can only withstand so much, if sped up more, it might drastically reduce its lifespan."
Upon hearing Lilu's words, No. 1 eagerly said, "No need, no need, just normal acceleration will do, make sure not to overburden the core mother machine."
Upon hearing No. 1's request, Lilu nodded.
"No problem, if I use the authority without applying pressure, it can increase production from 4 in 5 days to 1 a day."
"That's enough, that's enough."
This efficiency gain is entirely sufficient; accumulation will yield results, greed will not.
The rational No. 1 completely understands.
Lilu nodded, then began to use the Authority of the Soul for enhancement.
Although Kane can also use the Authority of the Soul, Lilu is much more adept.
After all, Lilu's fairy tale rules include quite a bit of soul rules.
With Lilu using the soul rules,
a faint green aura gathered from the void.
With his Divine Gaze, Kane could feel the strong aura of soul rules from above.
This wisp of aura, under Lilu's control, gathered into a mass and then surged into the giant machine before them.
Lilu's enhancement was not aimed at the internals of this machine.
Instead, she applied a blessing using the soul rules. In the process of creating or absorbing souls, a certain bonus can be obtained.
It's like adding an enhancement to the machine, adding an entry to it.
Lilu's use of authority gave Kane some inspiration. Perhaps because Lilu has the entire fairy tale world,
she is skillful in turning rules into a blessing applied to others or objects.
Even with full mastery of the Platinum Country, Kane hasn't delved deeply into this aspect.
If he were to bestow blessings on others, he could only rely on pure energy.
Without any technique.
Pure brute force works wonders.
Considering he never put effort into researching this.
With the blessings complete, Kane and the others, having stood here all day, took their leave from the Platinum Country.
Kane has not properly closed his eyes for rest for almost a week. For a golden-level constitution, this amount of time doesn't have any effect.
But since there's nothing important to deal with right now, Kane decided to spend some time resting for a night.
Then, they returned to the Platinum Palace, and Kane went back to his room alone to rest.
...
"La la, la la la la~"
Separated from Kane and his companions, Lirulu flew in the Platinum Palace, humming an unknown tune while dancing in the air, sometimes spinning, other times leaping.
"Hmm?"
Lirulu, in the midst of dancing, suddenly felt something and stopped in her tracks for a moment.
With a flash, she disappeared from the spot.
When Lirulu reappeared, she was at the edge of the Gate of Two Realms.
Then, Lirulu transformed into a stream of light, passing through the Gate of Two Realms, arriving in the outside territory.
The moment Lirulu emerged, a mass of white mist gathered beside her, then the mist swirled and opened a Mist Gate.
Without a word, Lirulu dove in.
When Lirulu entered the Teleportation Gate and opened her eyes again, she was already in a world where wisps of white mist spread everywhere.
Various beautiful and mystical architectural statues were situated on both sides.
The place where Lirulu found herself seemed to be a resting courtyard.
Beside her were some Angels with misty wings on their backs.
These Angels were tending to their tasks, trimming plants with unseen shapes, intricately carving statues and patterns on the columns.
A few Mist Angels, upon seeing Lirulu, winked at her and waved secretly, as if recognizing her and greeting her.
Seeing the Angels around waving at her, Lirulu smiled cheerfully, flapping her wings, ready to fly over.
These were some friends she had made here.
"Lirulu!"
A majestic yet filled with holy motherly love voice called from above.
Hearing the voice, Lirulu instinctively shrank her head.
The Angels around her greeting her also immediately turned their heads away, pretending to work, as if nothing had happened.
Lirulu had no choice but to turn around and fly upward, towards the direction of the voice.
Above, there was a thick white mist, only glimpses of a grand white staircase disappearing and reappearing within.
Occasionally, one could see intricate carvings on these steps.
Elusive to the eye.
At the top of the mist, a gigantic shadow leaning on the platform could be vaguely seen.
Lirulu sped up and rushed into the mist.
"Mist Mother, did you call Lirulu because you missed lovely Lirulu?"
Lirulu's voice echoed from within the mist.
The voice that had called Lirulu spoke again.
"Let me see if Lirulu has been diligent during this period, or is still as playful as before."
"No, Lirulu has been quite diligent this time, always pondering the rules and hasn't played much."
"Hmm, not bad, finally showing some improvement."
The owner of the voice seemed satisfied with Lirulu's effort during this period.
Then said, "This time, I called you here because a message needs to be conveyed to Kane. After you leave, you can pass it on to him."
Hearing this, Lirulu was a bit puzzled.
"Mist Mother, why don't you directly deliver the message to Kane?"
"After all, Platinum Country belongs to you all, and I obviously can't casually investigate. Wouldn't that be too impolite?
Even for my children, I should maintain the most basic respect, shouldn't I?
You wouldn't want me watching over you all the time, would you?
So come on over."
Hearing this, Lirulu pondered, indeed.
It would be quite uncomfortable and too restrictive to be watched by Mist Mother all the time.
Following this, a faint voice came through.
Before long, Lirulu, who received new information from the mist, flew out and turned to wave towards the figure in the mist.
"Mist Mother, I'm leaving now."
"Alright, go on."
Then, beside Lirulu, another white mist Teleportation Gate like before appeared, and she disappeared into it.
With Lirulu's disappearance, the palace returned to calm.
Soon after.
Lirulu reappeared at the place she had vanished from.
Transformed into a stream of light, passed through the Gate of Two Realms again, returning to the Platinum Country.
After entering, with a flicker, she was back in the Platinum Palace, heading towards Kane's resting place.
However, just as she arrived at Kane's door, Lirulu stopped in her tracks.
"Kane seems to be resting already. Oh well, the message isn't urgent; I can tell him tomorrow."
With that, Lirulu turned around to leave, thought for a moment, and disappeared from the spot, reappearing in the Fairy Tale World.
In the Platinum Country, Lirulu usually rests and learns in the Fairy Tale World, as well as enhancing her strength.
She only goes to the Platinum Palace when there's something to do or when she wants to play.
Because it has become their place to gather when they're idle and free.
