Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 419: The Machine Empire Arrives Part One

As the days passed, life in Alastine was very quiet. Destiny was growing up to be a nice healthy and plump child.

As time went on, the day had finally arrived for Wendy's father, Charles Folson, the leader of the Machine Empire was to finally appear.

"Is everything ready?" Alicia asked as she walked into King Augustus, office.

"Mmm According to your specifications, we have been able to make many of the dishes you have asked the cooks to make. It is a good thing Wendy knows what her father likes and dislikes. This alliance will mean a lot for us in the future. Having a trade agreement with a highly advanced civilization is going to bring Alastine even further into the future." King Augustus answered.

"It will help us break the threshold of what is already here. Of course, we are already highly advanced as it is now since we can make our own cybernetics. Now that we can mass produce cybernetics, they have been the next big thing. When we get the numbers and advance them to work with magic, with artificial magi points, we will be even stronger than the Machine Empire in all aspects." Alicia had the research for cybernetics finalized and now there were a few factories built within her space that would mass produce them. 

As for the operation, one must gain a ticket and that ticket could be used to enter a door that would teleport the patient into her space right into the hospital where they would be receiving the operation. The hospital was separated from all the other cities and was placed on one of the planets she had in her space deep underground. This was all done in order to keep everything about cybernetics as secretive as possible. There were many smart people on Phantasia, but the technology for cybernetics was highly advanced and Phantasia did not have the means to create such things, not without the resources that Alicia had.

"Still I can not believe you and Blake went for a full body replacement. Does it feel off at all?" King Augustus asked. He was very much against Alicia undergoing a full body replacement but Alicia would not listen. He was astonished though when here heard everything that would be replaced or put back in. Like Alicia and Blake, both retained their normal genes and were still able to produce offspring. Not only would childbirth be easier but the baby would be even stronger than a normal child right from birth. He, himself had now been contemplating whether or not to do it. Alicia's team had already signed up to be the next ones on the list to undergo the operation. They each already have their limbs replaced. Even Loeri had hers replaced with specially designed limbs that would grow and change shapes not only into dragon form but other forms as well. 

Because of the great amount of research put into the shape changing aspect anyone could now have their limbs change shapes. Alicia had her limbs changed in order to install a mini condensed magic cannon. It was based on her armageddon spell but shrank down and made more powerful since it could quickly condense the magic from her body and fire it out almost instantly. 

"Nothing out of the ordinary. To be honest I feel much better than I did before. Each organ in my body has been replaced with artificial ones that have nanites that clean them on a daily basis, you could say my organs are as good as they were when I was firstborn. The best thing about this is that it does not use any programming. Everything is done in a way that takes the signals from the brain as its form of control. So there is no delay in anything. Plus with the added magic points that they were able to squeeze in you can say that I can probably fight a creator now without using my ancient bloodline." Alicia was not lying. Ever since she got the new magi points she had felt millions of times stronger and her intake of all the qis had risen greatly. Thanks to the Holy Land for sending over many holy stones that radiate holy qi, Alicia had her space, where her cottage was, turned into a holy land for cultivation. Every qi and magicule was now present.

King Augustus let out a sigh of relief. "Alicia, ask Tereax to set me up with a full body operation as soon as possible." 

King Augustus made up his mind. With the threat of an enemy looming overhead, he did not want to be left unprepared. If the full body replacement was as good as Alicia said then there was no need for him to hold back. 

Alicia could tell there was a hint of urgency in King Augustus's voice. Why this was she did not know but she obediently nodded her head and said: "I will make sure you get pushed to the top of the list." 

*Boom!*

A sudden sound of crackling lightning filled the sky. Startling both Alicia and King Augustus. "What was that!?"

As King Augustus asked this a guard came bursting into the room. "Your majesty they sky!"

Alicia and King Augustus walked out onto the patio connected to King Augustus's office and looked up at the dark swirling clouds overhead. Streaks of lighting were generated within the clouds and struck not towards the ground but the center of the swirl that had formed an eye within the clouds. 

"What is..." King Augustus had no idea what this was since he had never seen such a thing in all his two lives.

"Our guests have arrived." Alicia said with a smile as she turned around to tell the maid huddled in fear by the doorway: "Go tell the kitchen to get things ready, we will be having a feast tonight to welcome our guest. Also, get Wendy to the main hall." 

After giving out these orders Alicia turned to King Augustus: "Royal Father, we should make our move as well."
