Ch. 2351Chaotic Starfall

Saine learned that Little Star had chosen to stay with him and Nataya, bringing several powerful Star Body Creatures and inspiring Saine to consider turning them into war platforms. After Nataya demonstrated Little Star’s Chaotic Starfall technique, Saine discovered that Little Star could transmit the Law-based attack to him as well, and asked her to try.

  • Nataya told Saine that Little Star had declined to leave with her people and persuaded them to join the Ashes Legion.
  • Little Star brought more than a dozen Star Body Creatures with her, including one at the Level Four life tier, and Saine considered modifying them into space-fortress-like war platforms.

Ch. 2363The Unrighteous Find Little Support

The Galente Federation’s leaders learned that their allies had abandoned them or become unable to help as Wizard Civilization pressed the war. The president turned to the Federation’s scientific research chief to ask about replicating the God Crystal.

  • The Ministry of Foreign Affairs representative reported that Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World had broken its contract, kept the Federation’s payment, and refused to send troops.
  • The officials learned that Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable World had lost three Dominator-class Venerables to Wizard Civilization and that Only-I Venerable had rejected calls to reconcile.

  • The president asked the scientific research chief how the God Crystal replication experiment was progressing.

Ch. 2364God Crystal

The Galente Federation discussed its desperate plan to use God Crystals against the Wizard Civilization, despite the crystals’ instability and the difficulty of delivering them to the Wizard World. The President demanded two more crystals within five hundred years, and Samirato agreed to try.

  • Samirato told the President that the Federation had replicated four unstable God Crystals but had no reliable way to detonate or deliver them.
  • The Federation’s leaders discussed a secret plan to detonate God Crystals in the Wizard Civilization’s Home Starfield and potentially cripple the Wizard World.

  • The President stamped Sipnas’s application with a rejection.

Ch. 2366Queen of the Sky

After the President rejected Sipnas's request for research funding, the scientist turned to the Icarus Consortium, convinced it would support his Dominator-class Angel-Type Robot project. He believed the technology could give the consortium a path to survive even if the Galente Federation fell, and he remained focused on the Strategic All-Purpose Angel Manufacturing Plan, Queen of the Sky.

Ch. 2367Lifelike

Saine studied a Level-5 Six-Winged Angel wreck and discovered that its body incorporated light-blue biological tissue linked to Norman Federation Artificial Human technology. Inspired by the wreck, he prepared to enhance Fumila and left the chapter ready to begin adding light-energy wings to make her a Twelve-Winged Angel.

Ch. 2368Twelve-Winged Archangel

Saine's experiment gave Fumila twelve blue wings and raised her Combat Power to Level-6 Late Stage, but a new battlefield mission interrupted his research. On the Texas Star Region battlefield, Saine saw Befu's twelve angels merge into a Dominator-level Twelve-Winged Archangel and flew with Fumila to inspect it.

  • Two angel souls within the Light Angel remarked that the Mechanical Angels were living angels rather than manufactured robots.

Ch. 2370Care

The Twelve-Winged Light Angel helped Saine’s Mechanical Angel Legion destroy a Federation battleship, and Saine later studied its wreckage while his forces rested on the Asgard Star Region border. Luluenman told Saine that the Karma Fire Lotus Seed had finally sprouted.

  • The Twelve-Winged Light Angel’s souls felt kinship with Saine’s self-aware Mechanical Angels, and the angel attacked and destroyed a Federation Dominator-class ship.
  • After the battle, Saine examined the recovered battleship wreckage and increased the Energy Amethyst supply for his Mechanical Angels by thirty percent.
  • Wizard Civilization occupied eighty percent of the Texas Star Region and advanced toward the Asgard Star Region, where Saine and the Ashes Legion waited for orders.
  • Saine studied the wreckage’s energy propulsion system and concluded that its core energy body used Star Cores from Medium and Large Planes.

Ch. 2371Cultivation

Saine visited Luluenman and learned that the Karma Fire Lotus Seed she cultivated had grown into a flower bud, which she expected to mature within three years. After discussing the lotus and leaving its platform for her, Saine returned to his laboratory, where Fumila revealed a power he recognized as Faith Power.

  • Luluenman showed Saine the Karma Fire Lotus bud growing in Life Nectar and estimated it would mature within three years.
  • Saine thanked Luluenman and offered her the lotus platform, explaining that its defensive power could protect her in battle.
  • Luluenman agreed to keep the platform and began considering how to raise the lotus's grade and accelerate its growth.
  • Saine asked whether Luluenman could cultivate a destruction-attributed lotus, but she said she lacked experience with Destruction Power.
  • Saine returned to his laboratory and saw Fumila raise its hand, revealing a faint blue power that he recognized as Faith Power.

Ch. 2372Omnipotent Power

Saine discovered that the Mechanical Angels’ worship had produced Faith Power, which Fumila had learned to gather from the Light Angels. He considered whether the energy generated by Intelligent Robots could help power the Magic Cube, but had not yet tested the idea.

  • Saine recognized the blue fluorescence Fumila showed him as Faith Power and realized most of it came from the Mechanical Angel Legion worshipping him or his Magic Cube.
  • Fumila told Saine that the Light Angels on the battlefield had taught her to use Faith Power and had shared Angel Battle Formations with her.
  • Fumila explained that the Galente Federation’s versions of the formations held less than one-sixth of their original power and that some formations had remained undiscovered.
  • Saine considered using Faith Power from the Mechanical Angels and other Intelligent Robots as an energy source for himself and the Magic Cube.

Ch. 2373Destroy Everything

Saine discovered that Fumila could convert Faith Power into energy for the Magic Cube and began preparing experiments. Meanwhile, the Destruction Spring Dominator’s devastation of the Stella Star Region drew a warning from the Zerg Blade Empress that destruction’s ultimate end would include the destroyer itself.

  • Saine kissed Fumila in excitement, then planned experiments to convert Faith Power into Magic Cube energy and share the method with other robots.
  • Saine told Fumila to train with the Mechanical Angels and said they should thank the Twelve-Winged Light Angel, while Fumila touched her lips after he left for the Laboratory Table.
  • The Destruction Spring Dominator defended destroying the Stella Star Region, claiming the destruction replenished its injured true body, while a Zerg Blade Warrior warned that the devastation threatened cooperation with the Myriad Springs World Cluster.
  • The Blade Warrior revealed that the Blade Empress had sent a warning: a Dominator who followed destruction to its ultimate extreme would destroy everything, including itself.
  • Destruction Power surged across the lotus platform after the Blade Warrior delivered the Empress’s message.
