Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

Chapter 386: Fraxinus S-46

--- Chapter 383 ---

Today is the new starting point for Bright Spirit Empire.

After tackling and reaching continuous breakthroughs, they have successfully created two bases outside the Douluo Solar System.

In the meeting, Empress Bibi Dong suggested an exploration team to get hold of new resources near the Outer Bases 1 and 2. With the spaceship, weapons, and elites they had, the Empress is confident in her decision.

Of course, they couldn't send ordinary people on this mission.

After a few minutes, Yunlong recommended Kaina Tsutsumi (Code Name: Lady Nagant) and Chisaki Kai (Code Name: Overhaul) as the leader and vice-leader of the Bright Spirit's Exploration Team. The two candidates accept their new positions and start preparing for their journey.

Besides the Exploration Team, Bibi Dong suggested transforming their current army into a space fleet. Although their home planet won't change, the imminent danger of Outer Gods makes her want to build several lines of defense.

So they could adapt and counter the Outer God's Army.

Since Yunlong said they only have less than two years before the Outer God's Army arrives, Bibi Dong also proposed a new army training program under Uchiha Madara and Liu Erlong's supervision.

The two commanders have rich knowledge of training others, so this task is both easy and challenging at the same time.

The meeting comes to an end.

...

Two days later.

It's been exactly a week since Yunlong proposed a plan to enter the open space. And everything has progressed smoothly so far.

At Outer Base 2, Saiko Intelli's Research Center.

With the assistance of Alice(AI), Saiko re-developed Warp Machine and added several fail-safe systems. They can't be too sure because the open space is an unknown territory full of danger.

After finishing the new equation of Wormholes Jump, Momo and others suddenly called Saiko Intelli through a personal number, and they said the new "Spaceship." had been developed in Hangar No. 6.

Saiko Intelli's eyes lit up as she hurriedly teleported there, entering the massive storage room.

Upon walking inside, Saiko Intelli could see the new "Spaceship." that her co-workers talked about. It looks pretty damn impressive.

The spaceship was named Fraxinus S-46.

Fraxinus S-46 is massive, around 1.3 kilometers long and 469 meters wide, with its silverish-blue color and energy wings. It looks noble yet gallant at the same time.

Using the Helicarrier as its base model, Fraxinus S-46's whole body is stylized to be leaner as the four giant turbines are "actually." replaced with jointed energy jet thrusters.

In the middle area, three pairs of wings unfurl to the rear of Fraxinus S-46. Each was made with energy panels enchanted by "Sealing Arrays." to erect an "Energy Barrier." around the spaceships.

At the back, the Fraxinus S-46's rear has Saiko Intelli's Warp Engines mounted on it with a giant silver ring around it. The Warp Engines(Tree Branches) made of clear blue-white crystal released clean particles, which were the mimicry of the Elven Race's Spaceship.

As for the giant silver ring around the Warp Engines, it functions as a stabilizer and recycler of energy.

At the front, the Fraxinus S-46 changed its base model with a V-shaped end. One could see an invisible layer of energy connected between the fork's end and allowed the spaceship to float. It was the Ether-Absorbing Field that Momo, Mei, and Melissa developed from the Elven's Arc.

(AN: Fraxinus is from Date a Live)

"Damn..." A voice suddenly rubbed Saiko Intelli's ears.

She glanced and saw the ruler of Bright Spirit Empire in a casual attire. He gazed at Fraxinus S-46 with a fascinated gaze.

"Yunlong-Sama!" She was startled.

Yunlong waved his hand to stop her from bowing and smiled, "Good work, Saiko."

Saiko Intelli shook her head gently and returned, "I'm just doing my job, Yunlong-Sama."

"Not to mention that everyone was working hard on this project. Without everyone's help, I couldn't possibly manifest my idea into reality." She added while twirling her hair.

Yunlong chuckled at her response. Saiko Intelli is the pioneer, or he could say the brain/leader of the Interstellar Age's Project. She was humble because, without her Godly IQ, they couldn't progress this fast.

She didn't just work on her project in this one week as the others would come to her and consult their problem. After activating her Quirk, Saiko Intelli's solving-problem ability is just that good.

Within a week, Saiko Intelli solved 1,269,431 problems! Even God in the Douluo Divine Realm couldn't achieve something like this.

Saiko Intelli deserved the "Unparalleled Genius." title.

[Ding! You have shared "Godhood's Package." to Saiko Intelli]

[Ding! You have transferred a Refined Blank Martial Soul "Mage's Ring." to Saiko Intelli]

Yunlong patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go."

"Y-Yunlong-Sama, this is..." Saiko Intelli was stunned when she heard a voice in her head. The Godhood's Package alone is enough to make her dumbfounded, but a Martial Soul?!

She had heard Sieg from the Human Resources Team receive Tool-Type Armor Martial Soul from Yunlong, but experiencing it "personally." was a different matter.

It wasn't scientific!

Saiko Intelli stared at Yunlong's back with complicated feelings. She felt happy and pressured.

"Haha, A little gift from me." Yunlong laughed like it was a small matter.

"You deserve it."

"Don't worry. You'll get more rewards later."

"Yunlong-Sama's power is beyond my understanding." Saiko Intelli calmed her chest down and sighed, following Yunlong.

She checked the "Mage's Ring." and asked, "Yunlong-Sama, what's a Refined Blank Martial Soul?"

Yunlong tilted his head and answered, "Refined Blank Martial Soul is Martial Soul that has been absorbed by my ability and refined to a blank state, allowing anyone to wield it."

"I used to not be able to do this. But as my cultivation base reached this level, everything that's not viable became possible."

"To put it blandly, you can think of the Refined Blank Martial Soul like a tempered used ID."

"Then, where did you get this Martial Soul?" Saiko Intelli was curious.

"Do you really want to know?" Yunlong teased her. "It's quite bloody, truly."

Saiko Intelli nodded, "Yes."

"Well, here it is." Yunlong tapped Saiko Intelli's forehead.

An unknown memory appeared on Saiko Intelli's forehead as if she had become someone else. She was facing a younger Yunlong and saw him slashing her neck.

She panicked and grasped her neck.

Looking at Saiko Intelli gasp for air, Yunlong shook his head in amusement because any other person would have fainted.

"You killed the previous owner of Mage's Ring." Saiko Intelli solemnly said while rubbing her neck, feeling the soreness. She also felt the connection between her and Mage's Ring become stronger.

Yunlong nodded, "Correct."

"And what you experienced just now is called Soul's Whiplash."

"Like a transplanted organ, your body and soul will try to reject the Martial Soul. However, soon you'll get used to it."

"When you don't get Soul's Whiplash anymore, the Mage's Ring will truly become yours."

"Wait, then why don't Sieg from the Human Resources Department experience Soul's Whiplash?" Saiko Intelli frowned slightly.

Yunlong kept his calm expression and answered, "Well, that was because Sieg, a Homunculus, is inherently Soulless."

"He was molded, allowing for 100% adaptation to Martial Soul. Even if the Martial Soul doesn't refine like Mage's Ring."

"However, Sieg couldn't awaken a Martial Soul like any other Soul Master."

"..." Saiko Intelli was baffled.

Now she knows why Kyudai Garaki experimented with artificial souls for the last three years.

"Yunlong, you're here!" Melissa waved her hand excitedly from a metal podium.

Yunlong waved back and grabbed Saiko Intelli into a princess carry, jumping toward the metal podium.

"Uwah!" Saiko Intelli was embarrassed, screaming.

"The spaceship looks great." Yunlong smiled at Melissa.

Melissa placed her hands on the hip and raised her nose proudly, "Of course."

"Also, *Cough!* Can you get down, Saiko?" She added while faking a cough.

Saiko Intelli was hugging Yunlong's neck, and she could feel his manly, chiseled abs. She blushed and jumped from his embrace, feeling it was too short.

Still, she has to act professionally.

Melissa sighed inside, knowing damn well what Saiko Intelli wanted, and looked at Yunlong. 'This guy is becoming more handsome after reaching God-King's Realm.' She thought seriously.

Yunlong noticed Melissa's questionable gaze, "What's with that gaze? Never looked at someone this handsome before?"

"Bah, you're shameless!" Melissa kicked Yunlong's knee, knowing he would not feel any pain.

"Anyway, I've prepared something for you."

"Look at this beauty!" She clicked something on her tablet, causing the floor below them to shift. Something then rose, leaving Yunlong speechless.

The massive, handsome device standing before Yunlong is the dream of man! No matter what ages they are!

"Damn..." Yunlong cursed in awe.
