"Mentor!"
Green smiled beneath the Face of Truth and nodded at the graceful Cappuccino standing at the laboratory door. "Where's Yifan? Didn't he come with you?"
"He's managing the second-level cities in the Annihilation Tower district under his charge. He's so busy he's run off his feet—we haven't seen him in years."
Cappuccino followed beside Green, curiously glancing at Oliga a few times.

"Off looking for Yeye again..."
One month later.
Acid-dissolving molten tungsten, an alloy with an exceptionally high melting point and density.
Green now held more than a hundred chunks of acid-dissolving molten tungsten. Under the force of powerful repulsion, they shot into the sky. Moments later, a succession of piercing whistles—"whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh"—rang out as they streaked across the high skies of the Two-Ring World in trails of fiery light, falling continuously from above.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...
One dull impact after another echoed out as the chunks of acid-dissolving molten tungsten smashed into the earthen slope.
Green had set the landing coordinates of one
