After returning to the laboratory, Saine did not immediately begin the fusion analysis experiment involving the Planetary Fortress and the Magic Cube. Instead, he first resumed his routine Ash Magic research.
More refined Spell Models, the rare Elemental Flames he had collected, and certain lingering doubts from the past were all directions of Saine's research.
Several months later.
When Fumila silently returned to Saine Laboratory, a dazzling and strange flame of laws was slowly burning in Saine's hand.
Saine glanced at Fumila and knew that her pursuit battle had ended, and that repairs to the Planetary Fortress beneath their feet had largely been completed.
Saine did not ask about Fumila's specific results in battle.
After carefully placing the strange flame of laws in his hand into a specialized experimental vessel within the laboratory, Saine let out a breath and said, "Come. Let's proceed with the next experiment."
In the starry sky.
The colossal Planet-Class War Fortress stood silently.
Large, conspicuous gouges and metal patches covered the fortress's outer hull. A single glance was enough to tell that this Planet-Class War Fortress had only recently endured the ravages of war.
The flickering lights throughout the fortress also showed that it was no longer as complete as it had been when it first left the factory.
At that moment, Saine stood at the very center of the fortress's control hub, with Fumila at his side.
Aside from the personnel needed to maintain basic operations, the vast majority of pilots and maintenance personnel within the Planetary Fortress had been temporarily notified to leave the fortress.
Conducting magic experiments came with risks. Saine could cause a small explosion in his laboratory at any moment—something ordinary creatures simply could not withstand.
Strictly speaking, this "Fortress Activation Modification Analysis Experiment" also carried enormous risks.
