Chapter 94

Damian nodded silently as he observed Frank's performance. He wasn't particularly impressive in any aspect, but he had the willpower to overcome adversity. He didn't crumble even after receiving two shots that could easily bring down an elephant.Gẹtt the latest novels at n.o/(v)/e/l/bin(.)com

"Tell me, who is that boy? He looks quite young," Damian asked the scientist.

"He's a native of Madripoor. We don't have much information since you hadn't taken control of Madripoor at that time," the scientist replied.

"We know he was always a loner and joined the army at the age of 16. Ophelia let him in. The boy could barely read, and fighting was the only thing he knew. His psychological profile shows some improvements."

"Hm, keep an eye on him," Damian said. The boy seemed stable, but one never knows what might happen in the future.

All the soldiers regrouped, wearing somewhat unnatural expressions due to missing the opportunity to use the armor.

Damian took a step forward and began to speak.

"We've witnessed some truly interesting fights. Everyone has showcased their abilities in one way or another. But don't be saddened by losing this opportunity. In the future, you'll also have the chance to have your armor. So, strive not to lose," Damian "consoled" those who lost.

"The ten individuals who obtained the opportunity to have the armor must not relax either. You must acquire the raw materials to create armor for your comrades. This is their responsibility as winners," Damian said seriously.

"The armor will be assembled based on your measurements. You'll have two months to train before embarking on an expedition to obtain materials and gain experience in a real fight with the armor."

"That's all. You may go and rest," Damian dismissed them.

"You truly look like a general, sir," the scientist praised Damian.

Damian merely looked at the scientist silently.

"Send probes across the land to search for the necessary materials to create more armor," Damian said.

He paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Leave the sea aside," Damian said, thinking of his daughter's desire to explore it.

"Yes, sir. Although I'm not sure if such material exists, one of the remarkable aspects of our armor is its fluidity. We use a specially synthesized semi-sensitive gel made from the cerebrospinal fluid of a Celestial. The reserves we had were obtained from Knowhere, the severed head of a Celestial," the scientist said.

"I don't think such materials exist on Earth."

"Without this gel, the armor would be clumsier and weaker. It is one of the main components," the scientist explained.

"Hm, scan anyway. Earth can sometimes surprise you," Damian nodded.

"I'll return. Inform me if anything happens," Damian said before disappearing.

Damian returned home while thinking about Knowhere. He supposed they would go to obtain the materials. Perhaps he could take his family for a ride.

Damian entered the living room where Alice, Emma, and Ivy were watching television, leaning against Sassy who was sleeping on her side.

Sophia was sitting on the couch, reading a book, occasionally glancing at the girls.

Upon seeing him, the three girls waved to greet him before returning their attention to the cartoon.

Damian, who was about to open his arms for a hug, couldn't help but freeze upon realizing his daughters only greeted him with a wave.

Sophia let out a small laugh at the sight before returning to her book.

Damian approached his daughters and lay down next to Alice.

"Darling, what are you watching?" Damian asked, despite knowing the answer.

"The Fairly OddParents," Alice replied, smiling at him before shifting her gaze back to the TV.

Damian was familiar with The Fairly OddParents; he remembered watching it during his childhood. He had been surprised when he found out it also existed in this world.

Seeing his daughters so engrossed in the show, he couldn't help but murmur in complaint.

"What's so great about it? I can do much better," Damian grumbled, dissatisfied with his daughters' lack of attention toward him.

Although Damian was complaining to himself, Alice still heard him.

"Daddy, can you make things appear out of nowhere?" Alice asked, looking at him. Her question also caught Emma and Ivy's attention as they also turned to look at him.

"Of course," Damian said, conjuring a cake in his hands. He had all sorts of things in his storage.

He was trying to create his own magical circle based on imagination.

The idea was to turn the magic circle into a kind of catalyst. The user would send their magical power and imagine the desired outcome. The power of the spell would depend on the amount of magic they sent.

In essence, magic is taking a thought and making it real.

In simple terms, it was just a magical circle that allowed you to use any spell you wanted as long as you provided magic to it.

Being quite confident in engraving enchantments, Damian began carving them into nothingness.

With confidence, Damian finished carving it with a smile before suddenly bursting into a mist of blood.

In an instant, his body reformed, and he wore an astonished expression.

For several minutes, Damian stared into nothingness. He had never experienced anything like that before, existing without being able to feel anything.

After several minutes, Damian managed to regain his composure and began to ponder what went wrong.

In the end, he couldn't come up with anything, so gritting his teeth and cursing, he started engraving the enchantment again. The only way to know what went wrong was to fail once more.

Damian quickly finished the enchantment before speeding up his reaction time to see what would happen. That's when he realized his mistake. It was like writing in the air, which wasn't possible. He needed a surface to place the enchantment.

He naively thought it would simply condense once the enchantment was completed.

This time, Damian was prepared. He reinforced his body with magic, preventing it from exploding. It felt like sneezing while pinching his nose.

Damian pondered for a moment, then sent some of his magic to his hand and tried to make it rotate, taking on a semi-solid form.

His magic began to spin, almost taking the shape of a small disk before collapsing.

"I suppose I don't have enough control," murmured Damian in frustration.

Damian sighed before appearing in the underground laboratory. He had postponed his affairs for too long, and he still needed some practice to better control his magical power.

"My lord, you've finally arrived. A week ago, we found something truly incredible," the scientist said excitedly upon seeing him.

"Tell me," Damian said, looking at the screen and raising an eyebrow at the highlighted area in Antarctica.

"As you instructed, I sent drones to scan the entire planet to obtain materials, and while we found most of the materials, the most important one is still missing. We'll have to go to Kwohere to get it," said the scientist, shaking his head.

"While scanning the planet, one of the drones reached Antarctica and discovered a completely new ecosystem. It's a place filled with resources, and we should quickly seize control of it," said the excited scientist.

"We didn't dare to enter because we don't know if there's any civilization dominating that place. We're waiting for your instructions, my lord," said the scientist, looking at him.

"You did well," Damian replied, thinking about the Savage Lands.

Damian only knew about it from the comics, but it shouldn't exist in this universe.

"How does it look from the satellites?" Damian asked.

Regarding that, the scientist replied, "From what we can see, it appears as if there's nothing there, just snow-capped mountains. That's why I didn't dare to explore further. There's a high likelihood of intelligent life."

"I'll go check it out. Just wait for my response," Damian said before teleporting high above Antarctica.

At first glance, Damian saw the same view as the satellites, but when he focused, he could see a tropical place with highly developed fauna, including various prehistoric creatures like dinosaurs.

In the center, there was a large city. Damian observed dark-skinned humanoid beings wearing a kind of blue armor. They seemed to possess advanced technology, at least superior to the average world outside.

There were also humanoid beings with animal-like appearances, appearing as hybrids of all the animals in the wildlands.

Damian couldn't help but wonder if this was a natural or artificial occurrence. If it was natural, it was somewhat eerie.

Damian wasn't in a hurry to descend; he simply continued observing them while waiting for an opportunity to gather information.

Ideally, he wanted to interrogate the dark-skinned beings with armor, but they didn't seem to come out often.

After waiting for an hour, a human-dinosaur hybrid separated from the group, and Damian appeared in ethereal form, using his abilities to take control of it.
