"Annalise, how's our ongoing projects?"
"Starting with the Demon Soul Purification Altar project, we are approaching the final stages. The altars have been tested and are working in perfect condition. We just need to install the altars to all branches and we're good to go."
"Are we properly staffed for this?" Gabriel asked.
"Yes, Sir. In fact, that's the first problem we solved." Annalise replied politely.
"Great. What about the Sun Disc Project?"
"I'm afraid that will take time, Sir." Annalised reported with a solemn expression. "Even with the provided materials and enough manpower, the project is too complicated for us to complete quickly. However, we are making steady progress. So far, the foundations for the Sun Disc are 50% done."
"That's fine." Gabriel responded, "Our Holy Son expected as much. Still, it would be best if we finish the Sun Dics as soon as we can. The situation on the frontlines isn't looking too good after all."
Within the House of Light's headquarters, Archbishop Gabriel and his two guards discussed their ongoing projects.
Since Cedric joined them as their Holy Son, he brought nothing but surprises that brought the organization closer and closer to the ultimate goal. They're still astonished at how much progress they made towards their goal just because Cedric appeared out of nowhere. Who would've ever thought that he already possessed most of the things they needed?
The new light source was already more than what they were expecting. The feeling of Sunlight returning to their civilization was more than enough for the entire organization to dedicate themselves to him. Yet he didn't just do that.
Roughly a month ago, Cedric came to them and revealed two massive projects; he gave the schematics for the Demon Soul Purification Altar and the Sun Disc.
Gabriel could still remember how he reacted when he realized just what their Holy Son intended to do. He couldn't keep his mouth shut after seeing the schematics.
The Demon Soul Purification Altar was already a huge thing. The fact that Cedric devised a way to use Sunlight as a tool to filter the remaining corruption on Demon Souls, turning them into pure Essence Souls that are not only safe to consume, but also at least 20% more effective than ordinary Demon Souls.
He even showed them how it works since he brought a working model with him. They personally saw how the purification process worked and also got Acala's guarantee.
To say that this was huge would be an understatement. How many Superhumans were there? How many of them craved to become stronger? How many Demon Souls have been circulating around the market? How many people had to endure the foul effects of using Demon Souls during their breakthrough?

Amongst many things, Demon Souls are also used as a currency for goods. With this altar, massive changes are afoot and none were negative for Humanity's overall well-being.
Right now, his focus is on increasing his strength. More specifically, he's more focused on increasing his comprehension of Concept Laws.
That's why he's currently at the real Sword Communion Hall.
The Law Communion Sword hung above him as he sat down in the middle of the galactic nebula with his eyes dazed, immersed in complete comprehension of Laws.
Around him, manifestations of heavenly bodies appeared; stars, suns, moons, planets, constellations, cosmic formations, etc. He's also surrounded by sharp threads of Sword Energy coming from his Sword Heartseed. You would also see small creatures made of fire dancing around him.
These were the manifestations of his Concept Laws. Cedric did not deliberately create them, they just appeared due to his resonance with Concept Laws.
This isn't something that people could just do. Only those with a frightening degree of comprehension and high compatibility with their Concept Laws could achieve this state. This phenomenon is a sign that a person resonates deeply with the Concept of Laws, further increasing the speech at which they comprehend it.
Time within the real Sword Communion Hall was slowed down to a near halt, which was a good thing since Cedric had been spending months in a single sitting here, just completely immersed in comprehending the Laws of Fire, Astral, and Sword.
That said, he couldn't possibly remain here forever. Even with his frightening comprehension level, his physical state is still limited. There are only so many ideas he can comprehend within a certain time and once he reaches his full capacity, he needs to validate the ideas by practicing them.
Cedric could do it here, but because of the concentration of Law Energy here, it's far too chaotic to validate his comprehension. Therefore, Cedric needs to go out and try them out in the real world. This process takes time and Cedric won't return here unless he completely validates everything from his last session.
And just like now, Cedric meditated for an unknown length of time before feeling stuffy. It's a sign that he has reached his limit.
Clarity returned to his eyes, followed by a turbid breath. He stood up and looked up at the Law Communion Sword, saying:
"You feel it too, don't you?"
"Of course. It's been a while, really. But I'll admit, I don't miss this feeling at all. It would've been better if this didn't happen at all because every time it does, many people die." The Law Communion Sword replied with a heavy sigh.
"We can't escape this." Cedric mirthlessly smiled, "Anyway, I'm afraid you won't see me for a while. I don't plan on dying but...just in case, please consider my proposal earlier."
"...I'll think about it."
"Good enough for me." Cedric shrugged. "Anyway, see you later."
Just like that, Cedric left the hall, leaving the Law Communion Sword simmering on its own thoughts.
