Inside of a man made world is a group of Legendary Beasts and Legendary Beast children, surrounding a blue, purple, and gold slime. The slime seemed somewhat stupid and was just hopping around enjoying itself, occasionally stopping to scan the area. While Solomon and group were staring at the slime Solomon couldnt help but ask out a question.
" So what can yall tell me about the slime? "
Gabby thought for a bit before she gave her answer.
" Tribulation Slimes despite being related to tribulaton lightning which is connected to heaven, are actually one of heavens few banes. The reason for this is becuase Tribulation Slimes get stronger by absorbing Tribulation lightning. So the first time they get hit by lightning they absorb it, then the heavens have a natural vendetta against the slime which makes it send more lightning. This is a continous process, until the slime dies from other means. Its quite surprising that the sucha heaven bane could actually be born from as Heavens Child. "
Hearing Gabrielles last sentence everybody nodded their heads in agreement to her amazement at the situation. It truly was amazing that heaven the sword of the heavens could be used to birth the bane of said sword. ( Sword being Tribulation Lightning. ) Such a situation had never been heard of before, and likely would never be heard of again until innumerable years later. After staring for a bit Solomon seemed to clock in on someting Gabby said that he hadnt paid attention to before.
" You said it grows by absorbing Tribulation Lightning right? If so then me and this kid are going to go a long long way, hehehehe I cant wait to start raising this little guy. "
" Yep I say you just feed him using only your lightning by the way. That way he wont have conflicting energies battling inside of him. "
" Why do you both keep calling him a him, how can you tell? To me he looks like a bouncy gelatinous blob of cuteness. "
" To be honest son I cant tell I just assumed he was genderless and Ive just been saying he as a way to address him. Honestly he, she, it doesnt matter we should think of a name for him soon. "
" Well until then Solomon you should start feeding him lightning while everbody else should get back to practice. "
Solomon and Deam nodded in agreement with Loretta. Deam took all the kids to leave the world. Loretta on the other hand stayed to manipulate more creatures.
Solomon grabbed the tiny fist sized slime and went to an area that Solomon frequently used to summon tribulation lightning on any of the others who asked to be tempered. Thanks to his frequent use of the area there was an extreme amount lightning energy in the air. Meaning it was the perfect spot to temper the young slime.
Soon after reaching the open spot Solomon set the little guy down and got to work tempering the slime. Solo proceded to spend a week straight tempering the little fellow. At the end of the tempering session the slime had grown from the size of a fist to the size of a large head.
Around the time Solo finished Loretta walked up to check out the Heavens Child. She mainly wanted to study what makes the slime different from other regular slimes as well as other Tribulation Slimes.
Most Slimes are made of a high concentration of Mana as well as a special type of Mana that breaks down physical objects that the slime absorbs for more Mana. Many Gods had tried countless times to replicate the special Mana slimes can make, but to no avail none had accompolished the task. Loretta wanted to try and complete the task none had completed before as well as try and make a race similar to the Tribulation Slime.
When Solomon noticed his beautiful wife walking up he ran up to her since he always loves to see his wife.
" Hey babe what are coming by these parts for, shouldnt you be messing around with the innards of various creatures? "
" Solomon you know full well by now that I break the very things that make living things live, and manipulate them into new life. I dont just cut up creatures and then sew them back together to make some mish-mash of an abomination. "
" I know but I love to see you getting worked up and then start using your God complex to describe your profession. Anyway how has your recent work been going I know you are messing around with skeletons right? "

" Yeah, I came by to study Tribi and see if I could see what lets him absorb lightning. And then use that to upgrade regular undead and negate their weakness to lightning. "
" Well you came by at the perfect time he is absorbing alot of lightning right now. Also, Tribi?"
" Yeah thats the name Im thinking of for the slime. Anyway babe Im gonna get to work are you going to stick around? "
" Naw Im going to work on some presents for mom and dad. I want them to have something from me for when Im out adventuring. "
Loretta who hadnt heard heard anything about Solomons idea became a bit curious. So she decided to ask him like a normal wife would.
" What are you planning for their gifts? "
" Honestly I dont know what Im doing for mom but for dad I was planning to make him a car. I think Im going to go with something that he can use off road, maybe a jeep knock off or a big truck. For mom I just dont know I cant really make anything thats benefit her and shes never mentioned any hobbies to me. "
" Hmm I dont have any ideas either, sorry. "
" Its cool after all I still have hundreds of thousands of years before I need to think of something. "
With that Solomon went to his work space area while Loretta got to work studying the Tribulation Slime.
When Solomon arrived at his workshop he started pulling out long thick sheets of metal. These sheets were pieces Solomon had commisioned off of Pater that he was planning to use to build his dads truck. The first thing Solomon did was to bend the sheets into the vague shape of a small big rig. He did this because he had personally loved the shapes of big rigs. But the unwieldy size and generally internals meant that spart from shape Solomon had to change everything else about the truck to get what he wanted. When he was done manipulating the metal into the shape he wanted he used a specialty tool he made that works alot like a welder to weld all the pieces together.
When he was done with the body of the truck Solomon pulled out some sturdy gurder like peices of metal that he used to build the frame. The frame wasnt anything special and was just a regular ol' frame one would find on a pick up, but the sturdiness of it would let Han do whatever he wanted to the car without destroying it. Though thats only with driving he odviously couldnt fight with the car or else it break super quick. Solomon then bolted the body onto the chasis and welded everywhere that needed reinforcing. When he was done with the body and chasis Solomon then added in other parts like wheels, brakes, and suspension. He saved stuff that makes the truck go since that part would be the easiest to actually do but would take the longest to set up.
Solomon used a basic set up for powering the truck, though despit the simplicity the pure power generated by the set up could make the truck go faster than Solos race cars. The reason for the potential power is because Han would just need to insert Mana into the powering device which would then power a piston which would make the wheels spin. The speed that the wheels would spin depends all on how much Mana Han inserted.
When he was done with all the technical stuff Solomon moved onto design. Solomon did something special for his dads car, and manipulated wood to make it look like the car was a peice of nature. He then made the wood grow into a short Bodhi tree, that Solomon then enchanted the tree to allow his dad extra enlightenment. Though Solomon doubted that his enchantments could help his father better comprehension, he still did it. After all that Solomon covered the exposed metal in animal skin which he then tattooed and enchanted. The tattoos make nutrients to allow the tree to grow while the enchantments gather Mana to allow the tree to grow spiritually.
All in all it took Solomon one week to build, enchant, and tattoo his fathers gift. When he went to check on the Tribulation Slime he found Loretta holding the slime against her stomach while she herself was in the fetal posistion. Solomon kind of worried went up to her but before he could even speak.
" Dont worry Solo Im not freaking out or anything, this is just a good way to connect with smaller creatures. "
" Im mainly worried that you in all your centauri-ness is laying in the fetal posistion. I dont know much about horses and I know less about centaurides but I do know yall shouldnt lay down. "
Loretta smiled at her husbands worry as well as the cover up for his other worries. She new he was worried that she was treating the slime as a tribute for her baby, something that the whole group still feels sorrow about. Loretta would occasionally cry when her creations birthed their children simply from jealousy.
" You know Im not technically a centaur or centauride so I can lay down like this easily and healthily, especially with with performing Biological Manipulation on myself. "
Solomon seemed suspicous but decided to leave it alone since Loretta was a tough girl and he knew she could deal with her own feelings. Since Loretta was laying down still Solomon walked up behind her layed down and just started holding her. The reason for this is despite being able to deal with her own feeling Solomon still wanted to support her as her husband. It was in this posistion that Solomon and Loretta layed for hours.
----------------------------------------
When Loretta woke up she was laying in her bed inside of the tower Solomon had made. She didnt know how she got there but she knew it had to do with Solomon. She just smiled and hunkered herself down onto her bed promptly going back to sleep. Solomon who didnt know of this short instance was sitting watching his kids spar while thinking of a good gift for his mother. He had decided to try making something to do with easter dragons from his old world but he didnt know of anything that was actually associated with them. No weapons, magical items, or even plants. So he broadened his idea pool to chinese items that might be cool but once again he just didnt know what to do. So he decided to just leave it for another day and get back to teaching his kids.
