An Angel with an Artificial Divine Core

She no longer feels pain or sorrow.

Beautiful light and sound enveloped her like a torrent.

The divine energy generated by the magical patterns on her body caused her to transform, transforming her into a being of a higher spiritual level.

Like an omnipotent deity sitting atop the heavens, sublime and holy.

Like a nun who receives God's grace and becomes a pure angel going to heaven, or a divine messenger who receives blessings through magic.

The high-level, dimensional fluctuations spread out, causing the mages to watch her warily, fearing she might lose control.

After all, she is a high-level power created by God, and there can be no carelessness in her actions.

Using magical incantations to imprint on humans in order to create higher-dimensional gods is indeed unimaginable for a mage of that level.

However, those who covet higher-level power must pay a corresponding price, as can be seen from the girl's pained expression.

One of the familiar faces, watching quietly from the side, stared expressionlessly at the girl on the spellcasting platform.

He didn't say another word, nor did he notice the girl's pained expression.

Everything was solely for the purpose of fulfilling his grand personal dream.

If Yotsuba Mahiro were there, he would definitely recognize that it was Kanase Kensei, who originally intended to adopt Kanase Kanon. He is a high-ranking mage in the Magus Craft.

What's truly unexpected is that this man would use a priestess with spiritual powers for human experimentation...

"This is the closest we've come to a 'finished product,' how does it feel?"

Kanase Kensei asked the woman beside him.

His tone was very respectful.

The woman had long, dark blue hair, wore a glamorous black dress, had a model-like figure, and was very beautiful. The mole on the corner of her lip was especially alluring.

She exudes a mature, intellectual, and elegant aura from the inside out.

Throughout the entire Itogami Island, there is only one person with such looks and temperament, and that is Gamma.

But it's more accurate to call her Luna right now.

Luna did not speak when asked by Kanase Kensei; it was New, who was standing next to her in a secretary's uniform, who spoke.

"If we only observe from here, we cannot determine whether the finished product you described meets our standards. We hope Mr. Yese can provide a detailed test data report."

Niu gently pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, adopting a businesslike attitude.

Her long, dark brown hair was piled high on the back of her head, revealing her slender, fair swan neck.

She wore a pure black pencil skirt and a light white silk blouse with the neckline slightly open, revealing a delicate collarbone as white as porcelain.

But what truly captivates the eye are her exquisitely long and slender legs, encased in sheer black stockings.

Unfortunately, none of the researchers present dared to even glance at it.

Just recently, a security guard, oblivious to the danger, dared to glance at her and even whistled at her, only to have his head chopped off by this woman's black high heels.

His expression was cold and stern, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Just like the icy tone in which he was negotiating with Kanase Kensei at this moment.

Her suggestion made Kanase Kensei's expression somewhat unpleasant.

After a moment, Kanase Kensei finally sighed and said softly:

"Alright, but I can't give you the detailed data report right now. It will take some time. An extremely excellent medium tool is on its way to the research institute and should arrive soon..."

"Yes, it's okay, we can wait."

This time it was Luna who spoke. She smiled and extended her jade-like hand, encased in black stockings, and said gently:

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"Yes, it's a pleasure doing business with you."

Facing the research institute's financial backer, Kanase Kensei dared not be negligent and quickly and respectfully shook the other party's hands with both of his own.

So much so that Kanase Kensei completely failed to notice the hint of coldness that flashed in Luna's eyes.

Afterwards, escorted by Kanase Kensei, the two left the research institute.

Stepping out of the research institute and basking in the sunlight once more, Gamma shed her disguise as Luna and stretched lazily without any regard for her image.

Immediately afterwards, she took off the black stockings that Kanase Kensei had touched and casually threw them into the trash can.

"Those disgusting maggots."

My eyes were filled with an indescribable disgust.

"Lord Gamma, should this video be sent to Lord Ita?"

Newt removed a highly concealed miniature camera from her body; the storage device was in her hand.

The purpose of establishing an imposing presence within the research institute, commanding respect and authority that inspired awe and fear, was precisely this.

"Hmm~ Then let Ita study it. Only she can maximize the value of this recording."

Gamma is the strategist of the Shadow Garden and the only businessman among the Seven Shadows, so she knows how to make more money.

Whenever and wherever she wants, she can quickly establish herself in a local area and develop her own unique business empire.

The same was true when Yotsuba Mahiro first met her, even though she was still very weak at the time.

Even facing death.

Immediately afterwards, Gamma started walking towards the parked car in the distance.

With elegant model-like steps, her seductive movements swayed her hips gracefully, and with each step, the sharp heels of her shoes made a crisp sound against the stone surface beneath her feet.

However, before they could take more than a few steps, an unexpected event occurred—

"Pah!"

Gamma tripped and fell on an extremely flat surface.

Yes, as always, he has no athletic ability and falls flat on his face as is commonplace.

"Lord Gamma, please be careful!"

New shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Then he quickly stepped forward, helped Gamma up, and wiped away the blood from her nose.

All movements were fluid and effortless, clearly indicating that he had become accustomed to it.

"Waaah... It's not my fault, it's all because these shoes are too high."

Gamma, with tears in her eyes, once again blamed her shoes for the situation.

Finally, with New's help, Gamma limped into the car, and with the roar of the engine, the two drove off.

Shortly after the two left.

In the research room, bathed in holy light, a tall woman dressed in a black uniform, resembling a secretary, approached Kanase Kensei and whispered something in his ear.

Kanase Kensei frowned and instructed a researcher in white to bring a modified girl, who was different from the girl being modified but emitted a similar aura, to the tall woman's side.

The girl seemed to be restrained; the fluctuations of her divine power were suppressed within her body, thus preventing any exposure.

She let out a loud laugh and roughly pulled the cyborg girl's hand away from the research lab.

It's like a child who has just received a new toy and can't wait to unpack it.

Kanase Kensei ignored her and continued to observe Modified Human Number Seven.

That night.

A luxurious ship, engulfed in flames and sailing at an altitude of one thousand meters in the night sky, slowly made its way from the north toward Japan's artificial island. It was over 200 meters long.

It is a huge armored flying ship covered with a hard shell made of special alloy, equipped with four turbine engines and twelve machine guns.

The ship is decorated with the emblem of a Valkyrie wielding a greatsword, a symbol exclusive to the Norse Ardigia royal family.

The luxurious and noble ship was entirely painted in a glacial light blue, adorned with gold trim. It was a flying fortress that only members of the royal family and their retinue were permitted to ride on.

The fortress, bathed in bright moonlight, appeared dreamlike and romantic.

Compared to Vatler's cruise ships, it has a touch more luxury and mystery.

The silhouette emerging under the moonlight resembled a celestial palace, but now that beautiful hull was a pitiful sight, riddled with scars.

"Ugh... this is so boring."

A tall woman in uniform stood on the deck of the burning ship, holding a long gun in her right hand.

Judging from her appearance, she was none other than the woman who appeared in Kanase Kensei lab.

Her eyes were also a vivid, deep red, like blood, and the pure white fangs peeking out from between her lips revealed the woman's true nature—she was a vampire.

Furthermore, the fact that she can use her familiars as weapons shows that she is a D-type vampire.

"I can't stand it, it takes up so much of my time. Nothing could be more boring than this..."

She dragged her long spear as she walked on the deck.

The deep red spearhead sliced through the ship's armor, producing a sharp sound and sparks.

She was the one who attacked the ship, mercilessly destroying its magnificent hull and plunging it into flames.

"Who are you? Who hired you?"

Blocking the woman's path was a knight clad in reinforced armor, his armored combat suit trimmed with gold, and the shoulder guards also bearing the emblem of Ardigia.

Those represent the royal guard knights, who exist as guardian knights of the royal family.

"You've come here to cause trouble, do you even know that this ship is 'Landev,' which is protected by our Sacred Ring Knights?"

Despite being wounded all over his body, the knight glared angrily at the woman, the raised sword flashing with a pale light.

The vampire woman stopped lazily, looking at the knight before her with disdain.

An explosion occurred behind her, damaging the airbags that had helped the ship float.

With its precious buoyancy leaking out, the massive armored airship tilted helplessly.

The knight watched as the gold ornaments gradually crumbled, his arms trembling with rage.

The female vampire casually tossed her long, wavy hair and urged her impatiently:

"I've already told you, haven't I? Quickly hand over your precious, hidden Ardigia sow, and I'll give you a quick death."

"Don't overestimate yourself. How dare you, a mere vampire demon, oppose the royal family of Ardigia!"

In fact, the steel sword that was guarding it emitted a strong spiritual power, like a holy sword for exorcising demons.

At the same time, she swung the vampire's spear so powerfully it whistled through the air.

An explosive burst of magical energy enveloped the crimson lance, sweeping towards the knight.

The knight, wielding a holy sword, confronts the female vampire head-on, ready to face off in a single blow.

The astonishing magic spread out in aftershocks, deflecting the crimson spear tip.

The vampire, watching this scene, wasn't particularly surprised, but rather let out a sigh of dejection.

"The Artisan System developed by Ardigia? It's really a nuisance, it ruins all my interest."

"You filthy vampires dared to attempt to attack our knightly order! I will not allow you to do as you please again; you will pay the price!"

The knight pointed the pale-glowing tip of his sword at the woman and plunged it into her heart once more.

The Artisan System is the latest elite knight equipment developed by the Aldegia Kingdom. It is a powerful tactical support weapon that temporarily upgrades the weapon's spirit level to the level of a holy sword by relying on a large amount of spiritual power supplied by the mothership's spirit furnace.

The Sacred Ring Knights of Ardigia achieved numerous military exploits through this, even becoming the natural enemy of the demon race at one point.

However, the woman's expression remained unchanged in the face of the radiance of the forged holy sword. Still languid, she held her spear and looked at the wounded knight with a mocking gaze.

At that moment, a dark figure appeared behind her.

It was a black-furred orc.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, BB."

The orc called out to the woman in a completely disinterested tone.
