Chapter 59: Torre On, Birth of a little Sun on Earth
Lala, despite her search, could not find the so-called "Golden Sun Goddess Appreciation Club." But it is very easy for her to find Christel, so she ends up at the Occult Research Club.
Lala found out that Rias and the others would also be moving into the house, so she is very happy and is already planning with Peke to make a space for Rias and the others' things.
Rias asked her if she had any problems with Christel having many girls around her and if she didn't care if she had more girlfriends, but Lala replied that she didn't, that she wants to have a very big family, and that she hopes that Christel has many children, since, although her father, Emperor Deviluke, has many concubines, he only has three daughters.
Although Rias thought that it was normal for a ruler, and the intelligence she had obtained from Lala's mouth made her 50% sure that she was an alien and a kingdom in another galaxy, she turned to look at the two girls of about 13 years old who had the same physical characteristics as Lala.
On the other hand, Christel turned to look at Lala with strange eyes. 'Do you think I'm a pig to be giving birth to so many offspring?' Just thinking about it made Christel feel a chill down her spine.
Since it was already very late, Rias had to accept waiting until tomorrow to be able to move, and also to give Lala time to prepare space for them. And Yuuto, had to stay in Rias's old house, as the person in charge of taking care of the property. Yuuto could only shrug his shoulders, he knows he is not a girl and he cannot live as a boy in a house of only girls.
Gaspar doesn't count, he can go live with Christel...
....
Time goes on, and apart from spending time with various girls on dates, Christel is busy in the company's laboratories. Thanks to Lala, progress has been made on the touch screen with HD image and 60 hertz frequency and it can be mass produced by December.
The lithium-ion battery is the easiest for him. This is a piece of junk for Christel, in his mind, thanks to the technology tree of the world of They are Billions, he has the formulas and production methods of batteries so large that they can power a colossus.
Although the military unit –Titan- has an integrated power generator system, it also carries a battery, which, although not reaching the level of a –Terminator- nuclear battery, is not far behind.
A 5,000 milliampere lithium-ion battery is just a small thing for Christel, which in the world of They Are Billions is only used for a disposable lighter.
The only problem for Christel is the processor and the memories. Her technology tree is only analog systems, there is almost nothing digital, if it were, she wouldn't need Lala's help for the touch screen.
So he had to cheat, and use Peke as an assistant to design these circuits, as well as the board and other hardware that the smartphone would need.
Thanks to the support of the Sitri family and Serafall, the laboratory is very secure so there is no problem if a lithography machine appears and the Marvelous Country does not want to destroy it in the dark or raise sanctions under the excuse of free trade.
In the world of Sanctuary, the construction of the port has been going well. The clothing I design for the blue-collar workers completely covers the skeletons summoned by Christel. And it also gives security to the common workers who have been arriving in the hope of a job, security, and a good life for their families.
Although at the moment, countries around the world live a life of relative peace and various wars between kingdoms. But already strange events begin to appear. The dark wanderer, according to the news of the merchants, has wreaked havoc in the neighboring kingdom of Aranoch, where, according to the merchants, he has opened the tomb of -Tal Rasha- and countless monsters from the desert sands have invaded towns and cities. His army has been forced to fortify itself in the great city and port of -Lut Gholein-.
Christel knows that she cannot stop the heroes of this world, so attacking the monastery and defeating Andariel to open the way to Aranoch have been added to her plans.
But to Christel's surprise, more heroes have arrived, summoned by the heavens to stop Diablo and his brothers.
An Askari Amazon named Cassia arrived, wearing red and gold armor, a spear and a shield that looked like artifacts. She is the pure representation of the Amazon in Diablo 2 and Christel even doubted that Zara was fake or a demon trying to infiltrate the Rogue Camp.
But to Christel's surprise, Zara is actually a direct descendant of a great Askari from the past named Palashia. Zara, when she heard Cassia's conversation about the call of destiny while talking to the tribe's elders, decided to run away and do something for herself. Zara is actually very young, 18 years old, Cassia looks to be over 30 years old, not because of her physique that looks like a Northern European woman in her 20s, but because of her maturity.
Cassia decided to keep Zara by her side and continue training her on the path to pursue the dark wanderer. Christel remembers that, in the gameplay of the Amazon in Diablo 2, she could summon a powerful Valkyrie to fight alongside her. 'The Valkyrie could not be Zara?'
Apart from Cassia, a Paladin named Carthas also arrived. Unlike Valen, Carthas does not have a noble title and is a Paladin trained since he was a commoner by the order of Zakarum, which is the church of the god of light in this world.
Although Sir Valen was a noble, as a Paladin, he maintained a respect for Carthas as a superior.
Then, almost at the same time, but by opposite paths, Isendra and Xul arrived. But unlike the other three, who already had great experience in their respective classes, Xul was a complete novice.
According to Xul, he comes from practicing necromancer since the mausoleums of -Hawezar- in the -Southern Swamp Lands-. His skin is paler than Malachar's, perhaps because of the time spent in mausoleums, but with only the first basic skills of a necromancer.
But Malachar, seeing his talent, took him on as a student, but threw the responsibility of teaching Christel off, with the excuse that he needs to reinforce the basic skills in order to have solid growth. Obviously Christel didn't buy that cheap excuse, so Malachar threw him a couple of scrolls, which are the most advanced among his knowledge.
-Summoning Magic: Resurrection- and –Poison and Bone Element Magic: Bone Spirit-
With these scrolls, Christel can grow her small army, though she also wants to learn the magic of -summoning: blood golem-. Malachar believes that she is still too young, and that this summoning is very dangerous.
But Christel plans to go to the Countess's tower, and if she can win her over and take her under her skirt, she will be able to summon all the blood golems she wants. Despite the legends that circulated in the already destroyed Khanduras, about the Countess's crimes, Christel believes that if she kneels before her, she can save her, and not just because, according to gossip, she is a very beautiful woman.
But it is true that if instead of a countess it is a fat and bald count, Christel will prefer to burn him in a blazing fire until the very ashes disappear.
Apart from the Countess, in the Dark Forest, there is also a plant that awakens Christel's greed, according to new rumors coming from the Dark Forest, carnivorous plants have begun to appear on the roads that merchants use to travel, according to their stories, these plants entangle with their vines and drain blood from their captives.
Christel knows that, out of all those carnivorous plants, one will appear that will be called the 'Blood Rose', and this carnivorous plant is apparently connected to the Countess.
This is the reason why, no matter what the heroes, adventurers, and the members of the Blind Eye Brotherhood themselves do, they cannot kill the Countess, since she continues to receive blood from these carnivorous plants, which, somehow, reached the Countess through the subsoil to where she is imprisoned.
But, even though Christel wants to run to the Dark Forest, not only for that rose, but for Lakrii as well, she knows she has to go for Moreina first. With the arrival of four more heroes, the odds of defeating Andariel have risen, and now, killing Blood Raven is easier. And that's something Christel doesn't want to see. Moreina is a very important part of being able to learn how to purify the Corrupted Rogues and protect them from Andariel's curse.
Although Xul arrived as a complete novice, Isendra was the complete opposite. His control over arcane magic was something Lyara had not seen, but she had heard of Isendra, and that, despite having the attitude of helping everyone around her, she seemed to be against the orders of the Mages Clan and was in conflict with Valthek.
It seemed that all this did not matter to Isendra and she continued on her path as a magician and the feelings that were born in her heart. So when she met Christel and her gifts, and seeing everything she had done for the inhabitants of these lands, she quickly wanted to take her as her disciple and teach her all of her knowledge of magic and guide her thoughts with her way of thinking about life.
Although Christel wanted to accept, when Cassia learned of this, and examined Christel and saw that her cultivation for the –Sightless Eye- was high, she did not want to lose this talent and wanted to teach her alongside Zara.
Isendra didn't care much about master and apprentice, she just wanted Christel's magical talent not to go to waste. And if it was someone who had the same thoughts as her, all the more reason to teach her everything she knew.
So Christel's strength was growing by leaps and bounds in the remaining weeks of vacation. And they would attack the monastery in the next month. So Christel had to speed up the construction of the port and the Tesla tower. So she cheated by bringing the most delicate parts built from the blue water planet to the sanctuary world.
"Christel, why are you placing the first power tower at the port?" Charsi didn't understand why Christel would place something like that in this place. She had come to help with the construction of the tower, but according to her idea, the first tower should be in the Rogue Camp or in the cave where Christel is investigating.
Charsi cannot understand the danger that could come from the sea, but Akara can, so she supports Christel's decision to put the first tower in the port.
Now the two of them are at the top of the tower, placing the last instruments and connecting everything so they can start lighting it before night falls.
At the top of the Tower lies a crystal sphere inscribed with runes in the language of angels and demons translated by the Nephalems and passed down from generation to generation.
The inscriptions on the crystal sphere are different from the inscriptions on the engine below in the tower. As this is the first tower to be built, Christel wants to test whether analog technology can accept the magic of the runes of this world.
At the moment when the sky no longer had sunlight, and the sun was hidden in those dark clouds in the Tamoe mountain range, Christel gave Isendra the nod, giving her the opportunity to start the Tesla engine.
For safety, everyone is kept away from the tower, with civilians and merchants further away and Christel's team a significant distance away.
Warriv is on the ship. Ever since he arrived, he has been staying in the port. He plans to buy some land and build shops. He knows that in the future this will become an important port and he doesn't want to miss the opportunity. At his side, there are also partners who have arrived from Entsteig and with curiosity, they observe what these Rogues want to do, but they look with disdain. Despite Warriv's warnings not to offend the Rogues or their leaders, much less the blonde-haired girl, they still maintain their arrogance in front of this group of savages who, for them, are only a small cult sect.
But when they saw a glow starting from the tower and in a short time becoming as strong as the sun, they were stupefied. Not only them, but also other more common merchants, along with the crew of the ships who are natives of Entsteig, and the civilians who came on the ships as workers. All of them were shocked by what they were witnessing.
Isendra, having Christel's permission, fired a spark formed from the magic of Lightning, correctly controlled by her, it reached the engine at the bottom of the tower. When it arrived, it made the engine start to rotate, creating a friction that generated more energy and heated the water, this new energy generated by the rotation, fed back to the same engine, and together with Isendra's spark, it took a while to finish igniting.
The internal steam caused the disks, those created by the new Charsi alloy, to spin. A magnetic field began to expand, creating electricity. But thanks to the engine parts, which contain magnetic material, the field could not expand any further and that caused the energy transformed to be greater.
By the time Isendra's lightning magic was exhausted, it was no longer needed, the engine itself began to sustain itself, then at a certain point, the Runes inscribed by Christel began to light up, transforming the electrical energy into mana energy that was guided by the inscriptions towards the top of the tower. The excess energy also passed through transmission systems, and also reached the top of the tower along with the other energy.
The crystal sphere in the abyss began to fill with a blue color on one side and a silver color on the other, until the moment it reached the limit, the Runes on the crystal lit up and along with the glow of the sphere to generate a light thanks to the electrical energy, the sky around the port began to appear a layer of energy like crystal that began to cover the entire surrounding area. Christel's inscriptions on the crystal sphere are designed to create a shield that protects the entire port.
In the distance, the four towers designed to protect the port also lit up. Receiving power wirelessly from the Tesla Tower, and even though it did not yet have executors, the towers also lit up their own mana shields.
Although only those who were at the port at that time saw the magic shield rising around the port, in the distance, many people saw the glow of the crystal sphere at the top of the Tesla Tower.
Akara, who was there at this moment, also knew that Christel's tower was going to light up today. But she never thought she would witness the glow from this distance. The beach is far away from the Rogue Camp. But the glow seemed like a star lighting up, but not in the sky, but on the ground.
Many villages in the Westmarch lands closer to the sea and in Sharval Wilds witnessed this phenomenon. An old man in an iron cage, who was being mocked and humiliated by the infernal beings around him, also saw the glow alongside these demons.
From that moment on, the legend of the birth of a Sun in the world began to circulate. And it is this Sun that will bring warmth and peace to all inhabitants.
Moreina –Blood Raven- in the fields of the Sisters' Cemetery also observed how this star illuminated the sky, and she and Andariel had seen a similar glow, but smaller before. They both knew that this was done by the members of the Brotherhood of the Blind Eye and the little girl who came from nowhere.
Moreina, despite being corrupt, felt a longing inside her heart, and knew that her end was approaching, so a smile formed on her lips as she thought of that golden-haired girl and her image appeared in her mind.
On the other hand, Andariel crossed her arms at a window of the monastery. With her knowledge, she knows that this is not holy magic, but its light is as pure as one. She is very attracted by this light magic, and, despite being a demon from hell where darkness prevails and only fire illuminates, she wants this magic for her demons. Andariel also knows that it is something that was brought by that little girl with golden hair, who stood before her in the spiritual realm, and she smiled thinking of her and making her hers.
"Little girl... I hope you come soon, don't make me wait... I want to corrupt you already..."
