Father's Love, Daughter's Filial Piety

Several hours later, in a room on the top floor of a high-rise, Allen was fiddling with a large mass of mercury while Sakura crouched nearby and watched curiously.

Before long, he seemed to have finally completed all his preparations and injected a small fragment of a soul into it.

The next second...

The mass of mercury came to life, rapidly reshaping itself until it became a Voidwalker over three and a half meters tall with an immensely muscular build.

But before it could greet its creator, it was smashed apart by a single punch.

Silver liquid scattered in every direction like bullets, instantly piercing the double-layered steel plates behind it that were used to test its power. If not for the Barrier-Barrier Fruit's barrier at the very back, it probably could have even demolished the Reinforced Concrete wall.

But soon, the scattered mercury flowed back at incredible speed, gathering together once more and returning to the form of a Voidwalker.

Looking at this enhanced Moon Cell Liquid that he had made with his own hands, Allen instantly let out a disappointed sigh. "Sigh! So the material really is the problem. Mercury is far too poor in hardness, strength, and toughness. Even when reinforced with a Magic Crest, it can only barely pass. Its only praiseworthy qualities are probably its astonishing density and the cushioning and defensive capabilities brought by that density."

There was no doubt that Kayneth had chosen the unusual substance of mercury as the carrier for his Magic Crest because he had likely been influenced by ancient alchemists.

After all, in the eyes of ancient alchemists, mercury was the foundational "element" that made up all metals.

Likewise, mercury was the only metal that could remain liquid at room temperature, making it comparatively easier to apply Magic Crests
