After quickly completing Shana's creation, Ming Ge didn't pause any longer.

After resting for a while, all the dolls were finished.

Esdeath, an ice-type beauty.

Mavis, the legal loli of the light element.

Satella, known to the world as the Witch of Envy, and the wise Aqua.

Although Aqua acts silly in the show, that's because it's a comedy anime, Aqua herself is still a beautiful woman.

Moreover, when creating souls in the future, we just need to make sure their personalities don't go astray.

Not long after the creation of the doll was completed, bad news arrived.

Two and a half months after the Zeus Familia and the Hera Familia successively defeated Behemoth, the king of the land, and Leviathan, the overlord of the sea, news of the Black Dragon's activities came from the outside world.

The Black Dragon, which had slumbered for a thousand years, opened its eyes once more and began to move, which meant that the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia, as the hero's families, had to set off.

Even Ming Ge couldn't have imagined that the reason they couldn't stop the two clans from waging war against the Black Dragon wasn't their arrogance as the world's strongest, but rather that the Black Dragon had awakened from its slumber.

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, the other two adventurer quests have been completed, and when the Time of the Promise arrives, the Black Dragon must have been 'awakened' by the Dungeon."

Ming Ge shook her head.

Although he was somewhat worried, he was no longer the person he was when he first came to this world.

Now, he is capable of fighting even against the Black Dragon.

It wasn't him, of course, but a puppet.

Even so, considering that teams of Iv7, Iv8, and Iv9 in the original work were utterly humiliated and unable to resist, it seems that ordinary puppets are no match for the Black Dragon either, so other methods are needed.

Ming Ge already had a plan for this: to create a 'big guy'.

The limit for a puppet is level 7, but what if it's a large quantity of boss-themed puppets?

Even among those of the same level, the combat strength of humans and the Labyrinth King is different. Humans may be able to overcome the gap with special talents and magic, but the Labyrinth King's basic attributes are undoubtedly higher.

For Ming Ge, the only difference between the two was the amount of energy and their physical size.

The big problem is where to get so many magic stones.

Focus your attention on the deepest parts of the Dungeon, below level 60.

Ming Ge's newly created digital dolls were grinding monsters there, and a total of eight perspectives were imprinted in his mind.

"The puppets are quite efficient at acquiring magic stones, and since they can be stored directly as solid magic, grinding monsters around the clock can quickly accumulate magic stones."

Even if all the floor owners are gone, it only takes three days for each doll to reach level 7.

Once they reach this level, they can team up and venture into the deepest areas to farm even more magic stones.

But Ming Ge still felt it wasn't enough.

The magic stone inside a doll is at most the size of two fingers, but if it's a larger one used in the Black Dragon War, wouldn't it be 3 to 5 cubic meters in size?

Chapter 80 Evangelion Unit-01

We need to find a way to pull off a big score.

Ming Ge set her sights on the guild.

The millennia-old rulers of Orario: Zeus, Hera, and Uranus.

Uranus was a close friend of Zeus, and the members of the guild were his kin. Every year, the guild exported a large number of magic stones.

Most of the magic stones that come out of the Dungeon end up in the pockets of the guilds, who then sell them to the outside world for profit.

It's fair to say that the guild has accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, and more importantly, they are involved in the trade of magic stones.

By this time, Ming Ge had gained the trust of Hera Familia. With a good reason, he might be able to swindle some funds.

Of course, this cannot be called a lie, because Ming Ge did indeed intend to help them challenge the Black Dragon.

Let's make a small head first.

Ming Ge pondered for a moment, then took out a piece of mithril.

The mithril was refined, then its properties were enhanced with gold, and soon a ring appeared in the Ming Ge.

This is the Heart-Protecting Armor Ring. Once the shield is activated with magic, it will form a protective shield capable of blocking V7 attacks.

Although the Zeus Familia and Hera Familia have begun to learn the innate magic taught by Ming Ge, the time is still too short.

Firstly, the Flight Magic is very difficult; more than a month has passed and some people still haven't learned it.

Besides being difficult to learn, it is also very difficult to use.

Fighting while using Flight Magic and maintaining a protective shield is something not everyone can do, not even high-level adventurers.

In this way, the protective magical items such as rings that can be carried with them can greatly increase the survival rate of the two clans.

"Alfia."

Ming Ge had a sudden thought and contacted Alfia through a magical artifact, saying, "Come back."

The magical artifact used for communication is a necklace, which Ming Ge uses to Connection Magic, that is, magic that allows her to remotely control puppets such as Raiden Shogun.

Imbuing them with properties and connecting them with magical artifacts through engraving and gold carving was a task that Ming Ge put a lot of effort into.

Similar magical artifacts exist in the original work, but they are very rare, and only magicians of Fels' caliber can create them.

The magical artifact called Eye Crystal can act as a monitor and transmit sound, but because it is difficult to make and the materials are scarce, even Fels has not much in stock.

Alfia returned shortly afterward, Ming Ge could tell that Alfia was in a somewhat heavy mood.

"Very busy?"

Ming Ge asked.

"Yes, the news about Black Dragon came too suddenly."

Alfia's expression turned slightly grave, then she changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, did you have something important to discuss with me?"

"Um."
