Chapter 862: New Companion



"One of the Seven Deadly Sins?!" Denise and Magnus exclaimed as soon as they heard Shane. "This is perfect! Dealing with the Death God would be a lot easier with this..." Denise muttered as her eyes sparkled with a mix of excitement and disbelief.

"A soul of such magnitude... This will indeed make the Apex Guardian unparalleled."

Magnus nodded, his usually stoic demeanor softened by awe. After he learned what was missing from Denise's creation, he thought that it would be more than enough to get a soul from a first-class Arcanist.

After all, such a soul should be more than enough for a metal golem that had a fixed strength. He believed that it shouldn't matter if the soul was too strong as it would be limited by a machine.

However, after Denise reminded her that it would be used against the Death God, then it was certainly needed to have a stronger soul.

"With this soul, your Apex Guardian will be more than just a machine. It will be a force to reckon with..."

Vale's smile remained, his gaze shifting between Denise and Magnus. "Let's proceed, then. We have much to accomplish."

The laboratory buzzed with activity as they prepared to integrate the soul into the Apex Guardian.

Denise thought that she had to do this alone, but with Vale and Magnus's presence, she knew that everything would be fine.

Vale's assistance, combined with the brilliance of Magnus, together with her plan, she knew that this would yield extraordinary results.

Denise couldn't help but feel confident that her project would succeed!

Vale, Magnus, and Denise gathered around the Apex Guardian, the towering android standing silently in the center of the laboratory.

The purified soul of Sloth, glowing with an ethereal light, hovered in Vale's hand.

"Let's begin," Vale said, his voice steady and confident, giving assurance to the two Arcanists.

He then handed the soul to Denise, who carefully placed it into a crystalline containment unit she had prepared.

The unit was designed to stabilize and channel the soul's energy into the core of the Apex Guardian. It wasn't her original creation, but she was able to obtain this technology or technique after the Arcane Bureau gave the detailed study of the Humonculus Project to Vale, which was then given to her.

Thanks to the Humonculus Project done by the Holy Arts Faction, she learned plenty of things about cores and how to create them.

Magnus adjusted his glasses, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"This is unprecedented. The integration of a soul of such magnitude into an artificial construct... It's revolutionary."

Magnus couldn't contain his excitement. "Incredible! The soul's energy is perfectly aligned with the Guardian's systems. This is a new era of arcane technology, Denise!"

Vale approached the Apex Guardian, his eyes meeting the android's glowing gaze. "Welcome, Apex Guardian."

The Apex Guardian bowed its head, acknowledging Vale's words. It then replied with a deep

voice.

"I am ready to serve."

Denise smiled, her eyes shining with pride. "With the Apex Guardian on our side, I think we can now deal with the Death God. What do you think?"

"Mhmm? What's your plan?" Vale asked.

Denise then repeated the plan she had discussed with Magnus.

Vale considered for a moment before he nodded.

"Indeed. This might actually work." Vale answered as the vessel they were looking for in the Celestial Prison Realm might not be there at all after hundreds of thousands of years had

passed.

"I'll leave it to you... In any case, the Ryzoir and Orden would be there to guide you."

On the next day, there was a clear sky, perfect for their journey.

Vale and the members of the Arcane Bureau gathered at the airship dock, ready to embark on

their mission to the Pallham Empire.

The airship they were about to board was no ordinary vessel; it was an Airship with both mortal and arcane technology. Needless to say, it was modified by Denise and Magnus and had become a formidable combat airship.

The airship, named Black Lotus, was a sight to behold.

Its glossy, obsidian hull gleamed under the morning sun, reflecting a spectrum of colors. The ship's design was both elegant and intimidating that left the members of Bureau in awe. "Incredible... Piloting this kind of airship would be a dream." Captain Ashley muttered as she observed the Black Lotus.

She could easily tell that it was reinforced with enchanted metals, making even the hull nearly impervious to conventional attacks.
