The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Chapter 85 Building the Strongest Fortress

"So that's how it is huh, I just have to let a small gap appear between each layer" Karsha who understood the reason behind the layer shattering came up with a solution. By leaving gaps between the layers, the energy traveling through the walls will lose contact with the next layer, making each layer absorb new energy without overloading.

Each layer will absorb its new energy bringing down the power level of the attack for the next layer to absorb. "I can use this to build the fortress." Karsha seeing a way forward for the next level started formulating ways to build the strongest fortress.

The second level has to do with stacking up the Titan walls to create a strong enough fortress. While the fortress may not seem like a strong defense, it will all depend on Karsha. How he builds it will determine how strong the defense will be.

In other to build a firm house, the foundation has to be strong and perfect. Karsha has already established that. His foundation is as strong as ever. He has created the strongest diamond defense and using that, he will be able to create the best fortress that can house a couple of hundred allies.

But of course, just like the first level, Karsha has to come up with the structure of the fortress. There isn't any predefined shape that can be molded by him, He has to come up with the blueprint. Luckily, Karsha has watched two of the greatest superheroes created by Humans over the century.

"Blending the Batcave and fortress of solitude should be enough for this level" Karsha smiled weakly as memories of his time at the cinema with his family flashed through his mind.

However, he didn't let that get in the way of things. He has a mission and form ones, Karsha is planning on killing two beds with one stone.

Blending the Batcave and the Fortress of solitude means Karsha will have both a defense and offense and for that, Karsha has to seek permission first from the two elements he intends to use.

The Batcave will utilize the Diamond, which he will attempt to persuade the Earth element to provide. For the Fortress, Karsha will be reaching out to the Ice element, with whom he already has a connection. A connection that Karsha himself has begun to doubt was established by him.

Despite his doubts, since he requires assistance, he plans to contact the elements, as proceeding without doing so may violate some unknown rules of which he is unaware. He learned about some of these rules from his conversation with the Earth element. While he can technically create a diamond, he cannot sell it, as this would undermine the purpose and value of genuine diamonds.

However, he could use it personally for decoration and other purposes.

With this in mind, Karsha initiated a conversation with the Earth element, as he was already acquainted with it. The conversation lasted three days, and on the third day, Karsha and the Earth element finally reached an agreement.

All that needed to be done now was to contact the ice. He intends to use the ice for both defense and offense. He already has a simple mechanism in place that using the Ice will be perfect for.

His conversation with the ice element was quicker than he had thought. He got to know about all the rules there is to using two elements together. Basically, there was no rule against that. However, the process is complex and to Karsha's surprise, the element challenged him.

If he manages to bend the two elements together to form the defense he wants, he will be granted knowledge on how to cultivate all elements together.

This offer was enticing and Karsha of course accepted it. However, it was the same offer that made Karsha believe his suspicions. The elements rather reached out to him, and not the other way round.

He wasn't the one that initiated the connection, it was rather the elements, and for whatever reason that was, Karsha decided to remain oblivious for now. Ten Overlords await and wasting time on matters of the unknown is but a waste.

With the knowledge already acquired from his conversation, Karsha started comprehending the ways of the Ice. He has about 215 days for his 300 days target to reach and he intends to create the strongest and the grandest defense in the history of the universe.

40 days later Karsha still continues to comprehend the ice element. Strangely, instead of how he uses the hands-on approach for the earth element. Karsha was rather in a lotus posture muttering some strange sounds. Around him, frozen solid with the temperature in the negative zone.

He was using what he got to know from the element as the Ice Mantra. It's a complex Runic Enigma-type technique that allows the user to understand the complex nature of the element by breaking it down to the atomic level and building it back up atom by atom.

It's a complex technique that requires absolute focus and for one, Karsha has gotten the focus he required. His mind was in a state of came yet an overdrive. He was crunching countless combinations, Variations, and formulas and at the same time maintaining a focused mind.

On the 70th day, Karsha opened his eyes. His demeanor has transformed. Although he is just a consciousness, the Aura he is now exuding has a chilling nature to it. If Aura comes in levels, Karsha's own will be somewhere at the Grandmaster level.

The process transformed him, a feeling that even traveled to the outside world. Around 100 meters around him was frozen solid leaving only the Time Tablet unaffected for obvious reasons.

"We start now." Saying that Karsha started with the building blueprint in mind.

Imagine a rectangular structure with a wide enough area to house a couple of hundred people. The rectangular structure will have thin walls, 4 feet thick to be precise. However, these walls with be linked together by pure absolute ice. The ice which is absolute meaning it has all the nature of other ice will act as a fusion link between the walls. But that is just for the structure.

Inside the walls, there will be several chains that can be held onto in case the defense is tanking powerful attacks. This will also allow the allies that will be caught with the defense walls to channel their mana easily which will further increase the steadiness of the fortress.

Then once that was done, The ice and diamond which look similar in appearance will be fashioned into a dome that instead of having a static nature will be made maliable. This is to enhance the energy absorption ability Karsha has in mind.

Yes, Karsha will be channeling that energy to power some Ice cannon he will be leaving inside the defense. He already has a way to do that. His mastery of the earth element is now higher than before so creating a mere cannon will be easy. If only Karsha knew making this decision would soon set him on a path that would enable him to create a real impenetrable defense and heaven-shattering attacks.

Once that was done, he intended to add one last skill to the domain of which the system would be taking care of. He wanted to displace some of the energy. Once all this is put together, the ice acting as the offense will reminiscence the defensive mode of the fortress, and the impenetrable rectangle structure will be the hidden Batcave.

"I am a genius" Karsha laughed heavily looking at the magnificent structure the clone had fashioned based on Karsha's recommendation.

The fortress expands a little over 100 meters in diameter and stands 5 meters tall. However, the magnificence comes from the glittering diamond reflection of the real fortress that looks more like a house than a defense structure.

So with a little over 100 days to go, Karsha got to business as he started creating the defense, even making some small adjustments.

It took him exactly 100 days to finish it. "Alright clone Me, bombard the fortress with some attacks."

The clone materialized a sword and started sending a barrage of attacks. The fortress stood firm against all odds. However, when the clone used the SSE form of the Fire beam attack, a huge crack appeared in it. Of course, that could easily be fixed by pouring more Mana into it, however, Karsha realizes something else.

"Even though the second level is powerful, it still requires a lot of Mana to activate. Maintaining it is another problem." Indeed, the second level requires him to expend 50,000 of his Mana to create and 10,000 every second to Maintain it. Although he has more than enough Mana for that when in battle, every last drop of Mana is essential.

"I suppose it's fortunate that allies within the fortress can channel their Mana," Karsha sighed, allowing his mind to crunch some numbers before a small smile escaped his lips.

"Ah, why worry? I can easily regenerate Mana in no time, thanks to my enhanced regeneration ability. There's nothing to fret over, I suppose." With a 70% increase in speed for regenerating his Mana and Stats, Karsha could use as much Mana as he wished without concern.

He allowed the Clone to bombard the defenses for ten whole days while assessing how to utilize his defenses to their fullest potential. Over the course of these 10 days, Karsha explored all the mechanisms he had incorporated into the domain. Once satisfied with the results, he deactivated it and decided to rest for a while.

"I guess it's time to see if the Dark Prince Art lives up to the Hype" With movement and Defense, Karsha moved to the offense technique he was cursed with, The Dark Prince Hell Art. A technique that will one day put Karsha in the path of Chaos and Blood.

"Let's summon some swords I guess"
