Chapter 867: 270. Creating Souls from Nothingness (Extra for the League Leader)_3

After five hours, it would awaken from its Slumber and become a synthetic human who could only stare blankly.

“It’s all done, Selena.”

Noland Lee tossed the Deconstruction Technique toward the synthetic human standing asleep.

After confirming that this synthetic human looked almost identical to Roymin, he said to the beautiful witch waiting nearby:

“Now, send it back to the Ulnas Circle. It will wake up from its Slumber after five hours, but compared to when it arrived at the Deep Sea Branch, it will appear dull, sluggish, and incompetent.

“If the Wizards from the Wizard Enforcement Department who are guarding it ask you the reason for its change, then just blame it on an attempted betrayal of the Deep Sea Branch. It was the punishment from the Deep Sea Branch that turned it into a numb alien. Whether it ends up on the dissection table is not our concern.”

...

“No problem, Jarvis,” Selena examined the synthetic human from head to toe.

At a glance, there seemed to be no change from when it first came to the Deep Sea Branch.

Perhaps only those deeply knowledgeable about alien technology would be able to spot the abnormalities in Synthetic Human DKP-15.

Selena trusted Noland’s skills, certain that he could perfectly conceal any anomalies so that they would remain undetected.

Also, as a witch who had self-taught the alien language and delved deep into alien technology with Noland’s help, she was well aware of how difficult it was for wizards to comprehend alien culture.

Alien culture and wizard culture were entirely different realms.

The many biases and preconceived notions ensured that only a very few wizards could ever truly understand the essence of alien technology.

Selena crossed her arms and stroked her chin thoughtfully, still feeling it wasn’t entirely safe.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Noland, but she worried that some genius might emerge from the realm of wizards, suddenly grasp the workings of alien technology, and then detect the anomaly in Synthetic Human DKP-15.

“Jarvis… I have an idea,” Selena said, tilting her head.

“Hmm? What is it?” Noland Lee was engrossed in studying the Computing Array in his hands, pondering over the plans to make it talk and act.

“Since you said this synthetic human has become like this because it was punished…” Selena snapped her fingers:

“Then we might as well destroy it. We’ll just bring some remains to the Wizard Enforcement Department to close the case.”

“To destroy it…” Noland Lee looked at the sleeping synthetic human and blinked as he asked:

“Wouldn’t the Wizard Enforcement Department then fine us a penalty fee?”

“Yes, we would indeed be punished,” Selena took out the contract she had signed with the Wizard Enforcement Department from her Magic Pouch, reading and speaking:

“The more severe the damage to the alien, the higher the fine we must pay. If we completely destroy it, we need to pay a fine of 13 million gold coins to the Wizard Enforcement Department to compensate for the loss to the Ulnas Circle.”

“Thirteen million…” Noland Lee pondered for a moment.

He understood Selena’s point.

Instead of taking a gamble on whether others would spot the anomaly on the synthetic human, it was better to pay a hefty sum and erase all traces of the issue.

The former choice might fail due to a low-probability event, while the latter would be worry-free, at least money could solve the problem.

“Then let’s pay the fine. As long as it clears up any loose ends for Nolin, this amount of money is trivial.”

“Alright, leave it to me,” Selena raised her right arm toward the synthetic human, whose eyes were closed.

A water-blue shimmer appeared on her pale forearm.

The shimmer detached from her body, turning into countless sharp water blades that sliced through the synthetic human.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

The water blades circled and weaved around the synthetic human, precisely cutting every inch of its body, cleverly avoiding the miniature cold fusion reactor, which could easily trigger an explosion.

Two seconds after the water blades made their cuts, Selena clenched her fist.

The water blades turned into a Water Curtain, wrapping around the shattered body of the synthetic human.

“Poof~~”

The synthetic human’s body was compressed by the Water Curtain, turning from pieces to dust, merging with the Water Curtain.

Selena waved toward the pool.

The Water Curtain with the dust of the synthetic human body entered the Water pipe and then moved on into the Magic Water Purifier.

With a series of actions, Selena swiftly completed the task of destroying evidence.

The entire body of the synthetic human, except for the miniature cold fusion reactor emitting a faint blue glow, was eradicated.

The reactor from Synthetic Human DKP-15 was more rudimentary than that of the Dsmi Series Synthetic Human, with only one-third of the latter’s energy output.

However, its quality is guaranteed, as sturdy as that of the Dsmi Series Synthetic Humans.

If one does not want to risk an explosion by forcibly destroying it, then the only option left is to hand it over to the Wizard Enforcement Department.

Selena left the choice to Noland Lee.

Destroy it forcibly, or hand it over?

Noland Lee pondered for a moment:

“Selena, has the reactor of the disc-shaped ship fallen into the hands of the Pure Light Court?”

“Yes,” Selena nodded.

“Where did the reactors of the synthetic humans that were sent to the dissection table go?” Noland Lee asked again.

Selena tapped her chin with her index finger, recalling the information she had gathered:

“…I remember they were divided among the wizard forces of the thunder and lightning type. The Hotams Shaping Department got a reactor from a synthetic human body; the professors of thunder and lightning type have been studying it but made almost no progress. Moreover, some thunder and lightning type wizard forces have transferred the reactors after researching them. They rated the reactor as useless because the electricity it releases couldn’t be used to absorb thunder and lightning energy.”

Noland Lee raised an eyebrow:

“It can’t be used to absorb thunder and lightning energy?”

“Yes, I’m sure, the thunder and lightning type professors in the Shaping Department also found this to be the case.”

Noland Lee looked at the blue object in Selena’s hand that resembled a yo-yo and activated the “Calm Breathing Method”.

After several attempts, he still could not extract thunder and lightning energy from the cold fusion reactor… noveldrama

This was getting interesting.

The reactor was also of a modular design.

Even after being removed from the synthetic human body, it was still in working condition.

In the absence of an electrical circuit connection, the reactor’s safety mechanism causes the electrical energy to stay inside the reactor.

Even so, Noland Lee still could not extract thunder and lightning energy from it.

It seems that it’s necessary to first transform the technological side product into an alchemical or magical side product before mana can be absorbed…

Noland Lee concluded during his reflection.

Before other wizards discovered the Elemental Energy Reactor, he held an immense advantage in the field of lightning magic.

But the advantage was temporary.

Noland Lee had to make every effort to maintain his edge.

After tidying up the Magic Laboratory, the two left the place together.

Halfway, Noland Lee asked Selena:

“How are Yorksim and his people doing with the preparation of the magic stones?”

“They have gathered more than 3 million high-concentration magic stones, covering all common types.”

Without needing Noland Lee to ask further, Selena offered all the information proactively:

“The date and location for offering to the Sea Monsters have been decided. On the 15th of this month, Yorksim and the others will offer the magic stones to the Sea Monsters on the sea surface of Starfall Sea No. 13 Subarea and sign a magic contract for peaceful coexistence.

“Lonco has already summoned 2000 combat wizards of the sixth ring and above. Most of them are from the Hotams Shaping Department, and a small part are local elite deep-sea combat wizards. There might be other reinforcements coming to support.

“The process of assembling the combat wizards is highly confidential, and no information will be disclosed to the public. Once you break through the Queen’s Domain, Lonco will lead the combat wizards into action, sweep the Sea Monsters, and capture the criminals like Yorksim who colluded with the Sea Monsters.”

“Good. Now do a few more things for me, Selena…”

Noland Lee discussed with Selena and requested her to prepare some gold coins, soul-absorbing crystals filled with soul fragments, and magic stones containing the energies of rock and soil, wind, and water.

Selena happily agreed.

Every wizard needs the soul fragments in the soul-absorbing crystals for their training.

The rock soil magic stones, wind magic stones, and water magic stones are extremely abundant and priced at around 500 gold coins for every 10,000 points of energy.

These items can be bought directly from the Deep Sea Branch.

With 230 million gold coins at hand, Noland Lee could afford to boldly attempt to create an Elemental Energy Reactor with a higher degree of completeness.

The flame energy required to make the Elemental Energy Reactor need not be purchased from outside.

Noland Lee’s magic electric arc furnace was the best source of flame energy.
