Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 635  IT LIVES!

Ten months… Ten whole damn months of full focus and concentration to finalize this project. At first I thought it won't take much time since I would just need to put in letters and adjust the cube settings via Qi to change. However, the BloodSteel's mellowness was too frustrating to work with and adjust for the pieces.

However, thankfully by using earth laws I was able to anchor the BloodSteel's frolic behavior when exposed to Qi to a more toned down and stable transformation. Basically, I created a closed circuit that uses earth law to supply the outer layer which is the cube with 'electricity' which is Qi.

The inner core was now fully linked to the outer layer with rods of Thundersteel. Every movement of the inner core generates energy that is subsequently translated into Qi signals, allowing the blood steel to morph fractionally and change the outer structure of the cube, changing its form and shape and thus creating a fully functioning inscription system.

And that was just one small part of its whole purpose. The formation creation was not the only thing this beauty can make. The seals and inscription it writes on the six faces of the cube can also be used to trace law. And the inner core can also push these seals to create powerful spells and is also able to transfer massive amounts of Qi. Far beyond what even I could ever dream of achieving. This is the same job as would a meridian would do. Only a few billions of times better. And how am I to use this piece? Well, that's my next objective.

Y has been sitting there for a while now. Unmoving. The seawater from the sea of demons damaged his circuits hard. It completely damaged his reactor. But his mind circuit was still untouched. Thanks to my paranoia when master rain first took Y from me. I swore to never let that happen, and had replaced his mind circuit and changed it and added a shit ton of protective layers. Which happened to completely preserve his mind.

Now before I reposition his mind I'll need to give him upgrades.

Y used to own powerful swords that he was missing back in the Vast Expanse. I never had the chance or time to go and hunt for them. However, it is no longer needed. Since I can make far better things now.

I also need to upgrade his entire build. He's made from relatively powerful materials. Yet the durability of the metals I received is far superior to what Y is made of. However, I wasn't too keen on fully replacing Y's parts or changing his appearance. What Y will obtain are upgrades. A lot of them.

I began by disassembling Y's parts. Starting from the limbs. The four arms and two legs. And the massive mask.

I left his chest and head alone for now since they'll have the majority of upgrades done to them soon.

Y's four sword style is pretty powerful, yet without the demon hunting swords, and using my old chainsaw swords seemed to lessen the potency of his attacks although he still remained destructive. But it was power at the cost of accuracy and I can't have that anymore.

At the current level I'm at, I need Y to be of help to me, not a liability as much as I don't think of him as such.

An emperor level cultivator can easily destroy Y, just like what happened in the fight against the Fire Lord.

I began by removing the outer layer of Y's arms, completely disassembling it, and placing the pieces on the table. Each arm was composed of at least a hundred piece of metal that were well fused together. And to upgrade them, I'll need similar pieces and bits.

The furnace at the third level of the Lord of Lords pagoda was enough to handle the job of melting the newly acquired metals. And the hundred puppets I used as fodder were perfect workers to smelt the pieces I needed.

I had ten of those puppets work the bellows and the heat, and another dozen workers to work the metal into the needed parts. As for the rest of the workers they were to transport the ready pieces to me to use.

It only took a day for me to have a new arm I can use that is based on the former model. Only this arm was made using far superior metals. And after a week, all the limbs were already finished and fit together. The chest piece and the head piece though took far more time. A week for the chest piece and a fortnight for the head piece since it was made of more than a thousand pieces by itself.

After finalizing the whole structure I began wiring it using the new copper base metal I obtained. The Gedingzhi Tong was perfect to conduct and transfer Qi. All forms of it, including Saint Qi, and what seems to be the next tier, Origin Qi, but I don't have access to that right now. However, once I obtain a condensed piece of Origin Qi I'll be able to use it to power the new reactor I made.

I opened Y's chest and placed the newly made reactor, a far superior version to the one he used to have. This one was made to not only transform Qi into energy that the puppet can use, but can also store any excess energy within it. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

An artificial Dantian of sorts.

With the new reactor being the Dantian, the Rubik cube being the meridian, and the last piece in my hand where I stored Y' mind being the Mind. Y can effectively cultivate. Since he can absorb the energy of the world using his reactor, and transfer it all over his body using the cube's instantaneous transition and translation to law, Y can now understand law and apply it. Or so I hope.

I placed the circular mind circuit in its position inside Y's head piece and linked all the pieces together.

Soon, Y booted up and looked around. His current colors are a mix of chrome and copper. Which gave him an eye pleasing color scheme a contrast like silver and gold of sorts.

Y opened and closed his arms and the immediately reported to me.

"My Lord, was my former body destroyed in the caves?"

"Not really, you just got an upgrade," I said.

"The energy consumption to move this body is far greater than before…"

"Because it is a heavier metal and far sturdier at the same time," I said.

"I see… However, there is a strange moving thing inside my chest…"

"That is your meridian," I said.

"A meridian?" he asked.

"Point your palm forward," I said to Y and he executed the command instantly.

"Now, try and seal the space around me," I said.

"I have no knowledge of spatial laws," he said, however his words contradicted his action as the moment Y 'thought' of sealing me. Sigils and signs appeared in front of his palm and instantly applied a spatial lock around me.

"Perfect!" I smiled, "Now release it," I said.

"It is something new to me… the ability to control law… it should be against heavenly law, I am not a being that worships the heaven, I was made by man, but now I can contort and control the laws of heaven themselves…" Y didn't argue this time and only needed to will the disappearance of the seals for them to dissipate completely.

"I see…"

"What do you think," I asked.

"It is something new to me… the ability to control law… it should be against heavenly law, I am not a being that worships the heaven, I was made by man, but now I can contort and control the laws of heaven themselves…" "That's science, anyway." I said "You'll need to fully explore the level and power that you can release from your 'meridian' it isn't perfect. And it needs to be supplied constantly with Qi. Once I figure out how to make you innately absorb the heavenly Qi into your body, you will no longer need a reactor, and I'll create an even better Dantian for you. By then, you'll be able to upgrade yourself." I said.

"How?"

"Us cultivators upgrade our bodies by absorbing the Qi of the world, well, I'm different, but that's the reason how I came up with this. You're made of metal. And metal is too, something that was birthed by heaven itself. And I've seen metal, like normal steel, that was struck with endless thunder and became Thundersteel. And for you, once you're able to absorb the heavenly Qi in your body, wouldn't that make you able to upgrade the quality of your body? The Thundersteel you're currently using, can it not become Divine Thundersteel after it is exposed to massive amounts of heavenly Qi? In theory that should be possible," I said.

"It is indeed a plausible theory…"

"Then, you'll be able to cultivate, you'll be able to grow, and you'll be able to harness the energy of the world into you. The meridian I created for you is made of the worldly laws. And the heavenly Qi of the world is also composed of laws. The meridian will allow you to understand the heavenly laws and apply them to your metallic body and upgrade it. It is a complete circle… I can only hope it'll work," I said

Y turned and looked at the remains of his body.

"I'll make good use of that, don't worry, I also need to upgrade X, he's been working for me the longest and he needs a full upgrade. I'll be using your former body as a blueprint to create another version of you, where X will reside. The difference is that X will be using a different method of warfare unlike you."

"Gunpowder?"

"Yeehaw,"

"…"

"Never mind, you won't get it"
