Gaia had quite a few things on her plate, so Theus stopped her and assigned her some work—if she did not get back to work soon, even Theus dared not imagine what Tata might come up with.

Only after handing the research back to her did Theus feel somewhat relieved.

Moreover, Gaia had an important task this time—she had to assist Richard in completing the human mechanization project.

Castel had been bottlenecked by this technology for far too long. Now that they had acquired Mechanical Cathedral's technology, they naturally had to concentrate their efforts on cracking it.

Theus had already specially approved a research budget, set aside several testing grounds, and summoned both Noras to help.

He had even abandoned the idea of making Chloe work overtime, urgently arranging for her to take Nine Serpents Pulling a Coffin from Blood Port to assist with the research.

All of them urgently needed bodies in order to be revived. They could not go on being half-dead like this forever—it made Castel look as though it was exploiting the dead.
