" What do you mean ? " Magna looked at Lily " Bring me the statue of your ancestor " she opened half of the reactor to show the sun with the mass and heat held back by the magnetic waves " Now for the heat " she allowed a tiny gap in the magnetic field making a great amount of warm energy hit Magna .
She closed it after seeing the magic fluctuations in Magna's body through encyclopedia " So deal no deal " " Is this supposed to be half ? " " The fraction you took would be like a tiny drop of the ocean " Lily thought about her works in progress and sighed " But I still need improvement "
' After all , there is the black hole reactor I still haven't tested since I can't get hands-on black holes without causing destruction from the death of a star ... But with magic , I can probably do it ' she marveled at the idea of using magic but she still needs top tier knowledge before she can do it .
" We will bring the statues of the old resting kings " Magna confirmed the deal and told the soldiers while looking at the small reactor " By the way you can discuss your end of the deal too " Magna has not thought about how to pay Lily for the mini sun .
But such a deal for the greatest heat source he has ever known is just there . If they can use the heat to allow their bodies to stay in a warm state they can live longer " Hrggg " Magna didn't know what he can give Lily if possible he could give her the first king but that is against tradition .
" How about this according to your tradition you will not let any debt go unpaid or under the bridge ... so how about I resurrect your previous kings and they find a way to give me payment " Lily suggested keeping her poker face that looks like she got up from a normal sleep that doesn't give her a good or bad mood .
' Say can you gather info while I heat up their body to resurrect their cold souls ? " ' Possible " Lily nodded to herself and waited for the arrival of the statues .
...
Meanwhile , Yoch arrived at the town as he didn't expect the to fall over due to the sudden stop on the drone " Hello broadcast from the friendly human you met this morning , the man that fell out of this drone is my subordinate so do take care of him " ' Is she playing with me ? ' Yoch got up and the construction team looked at him .
" Uhm do you know her ? " Yoch pulled up a thumbs up wondering why his body felt somewhat heavier than before " Hmm you have claws on your fingertips " " Are you a beast kin ? " " No I'm human she just fed me something to turn me like this "
Yoch struggled to get up and looked around the area " Ugh can you tell me how is your relationship with the human you met ? " " She didn't tell you ? " " No " " Hmm then first it was a bit wrong but eventually she showed her magnificent magic items ... and you get to ride on one I'm jealous "
' If I wasn't able to drink that blood I would be in a much terrible condition than the extra weight on my body ' Yoch thought and went to look for any structure that might be Lily's " Hey , what do you think you are doing ? " Yoch turned to a beastkin who seems to be guarding the statue " Is that something that human left behind ? " " Yes ? "
Yoch nodded and went to the structure Lily left " Scanning in process ... detecting brainwaves ... language setting set to old primates " the language setting was like changing the words for the target to understand for example the words "dial number" will be changed to "talk to someone"
' I feel like this machine is insulting me ' " your choices are : talk to someone , give a sentence " " Talk to someone please " " People you can call : The farmer , the mermaid " " Uhm Farmer ? " " Hello " Lily appeared on the screen , her voice attracting the attention of nearby people " Yoch how was the new place ? " " Forget that what is this thing I used to talk to you "
" Look's like it lowered the language settings " " Just tell me what this is " " If you want to know , it's going to be a control center of my project I am planning to use only three but since Carrie is here and the abyss has lots of minerals my plan is going to be different "
" Wait what does that have to do with me ? " " Remember I got you out and gave you a place to live " " You dumb me a job " " A job you will still have to take since those three races praise me so much and held me too high up the pedestal "
" Fine what do you want me to do " Yoch pulled out the sharp words off his body and asked " Nothing much but you will be my main force to protect that place " " I couldn't even defeat the plant with Carrie " " That plant was way stronger than you think you were already doing a good job tearing through its defenses "
Yoch thought of it finding the fight unnatural " So you will stay there and make sure they don't panic cause I will soon take the land to the sky " " What ? " " Yes I will do that and also make a megastructure to control the weather " " What you can do that ? " " There are much bigger things I can get my hands on if I try "
" But how will I calm down if you make something so terrifying ? " " Well I'm ending the call " Lily closed the call and started to prepare the mining drones around the magic forest " Uhn human the statue is here " Lily looked at the statue twice the size of Magna " So this is the previous king ... But you actually keep more than kings huh ? "
Magna nods as his race will die when there isn't enough heat . But death shouldn't be the end their "corpse" is preserved like normal rocks keeping them away from weathering to keep their forms together ' If I use the sun on them they can give me many things those previous kings would want to repay me for giving them a longer lifespan '
All of a sudden her body's temperature raises ' Oh dang my head ' she dropped her head and caught it with one hand massaging it ' A fever this time looks like I couldn't get the medicine right ' she looked at Magna who was pushing a statue on a platform with crude "wheels" though it worked well since the surface stops them from sliding down a slope .
" Uhm here it is but " without a warning , Lily pointed the reactor and blasted a generous and safe amount on the statue where the core of the statue lies " Wait human this king is in a middle of a battle state " exactly what Magna says the statue had imposed a terrifying figure in the middle of a stance to drop a slash with his ax .
Lily was so close but she managed to keep out the external heat and jump out of the way " So how long does it last " " Wait you can get injured " " I won't " Lily dropped her hands as if she couldn't feel them but there was this strange weak feeling just like how a part of your body falls asleep .
Lily swung her arm like a puppet arm swung using strings by an amateur except her blows were lethal as the swing broke through to destroy the ax " So how long ? " " Uhhhhh " Magna looked at the fragments of the ax " Hello " Lily waved sickly at his face getting his attention " Right , they will be back to normal after they finished their attack "
Lily looked at the fragments ignoring the heavy breathes of the resurrected king ' I'll just get it off my pay ' she poked the fragments and the resurrected warrior looked at her in confusion since just before it turned into a statue he was in a middle of a battle against another kingdom who had ice mages freezing his body .
" Where am I ? " " Welcome back our old king " Magna said kneeling to the previous king " Magna what happened " " We won your last battle but couldn't bring you back " " So who bought me back let me thank them " " The human who broke your ax " Magna pointed at Lily " Human you have my gratitude "
The previous king kneeled but the slightly big figure that barely fits in the room height was not enough to lower his figure to Lily ' I need to jump to my bed , encyclopedia any quick way back to my bedroom ? " ' there is a short-distance teleportation spell you can use " ' Can you link to my bracelet and give it the data needed ? " ' Yes " ' By the way how can you even link ? "
' An old ability previous user wanted , they desired to use the encyclopedia as an assistant " ' Can't say you're not good at so many things " Lily teleported to her bedroom and looked at the trunk ' I did want this here ' Lily thought of using the trunk full of sacred beast fur .
" But what though ? " Lily brought the chest to a storage , grabbed the fur and pulled it out for the big chest of fur to expand even more in the storage room . Lily is surrounded by the fur and calmly assessed the situation ' I really thought only my bedroom would fit it but with this isn't it like an entire house . '
The fur expanded by sucking air inside tiny little pockets and the material it was made of wasn't easy to compress into the chest so the chest was made of hard and durable metal to prevent the fur expansion . Though not valuable it showed how hard the fur is and that it needs an enchantment to keep the fur from popping out of the giant chest .
Yes it was a giant chest it just wasn't relevant yet in the previous chapter to be properly met in detail ' But that means I need to use the highest quality thread . ' Lily walked to a room and opened it to reveal rolls of threads . She took many rolls of the thread and thought of using magic on it .
' If the fur can cover an entire house then I should make it worth it ' she threw the rolls of thread on a cart emptying the room ' I need some of those pearls too ' she doesn't have enough mana to be able to support enchantment of so many threads .
' Guess I'll make a call hopefully they have plenty of pearls laying around ' Glas prepared to give the mermaids fish feed " Hello I want my pearls , Give me all of your storage and I'll give you just as much fish feed of course it's high-quality " she hanged up before Cordelia could say a thing .
' My merfolk kingdom feels like a supply point ... But if she is willing to trade for the betterment of the kingdom ' " Miss there is a suspicious golem on our waters " a guard appeared yelling as loud as he can .
Golems are the kind of fantasy type of rocks that move and we are all too familiar with it . And that is what the drone that Lily sent was perceived as . Since it was underwater and Lily doesn't want to wait she sent a battle drone capable of shielding itself to protect the fish feed from the water .
The drone was just walking in the direction of the phone so when the merman told it to stop , it didn't cause it has a program that only wants to make the trade smooth with a much more complicated program behind the purpose .
The drone eventually arrives at the throne room where it dropped the sacks of fish feed near the phone and unfolded an empty metal box " Drop your pearls here " a cold mechanical voice sounded from the drone .
Lily was taking a contraption out of a room . It looks like the one in angry bird where a bunch of threads are tightly turned to each other to make a stronger thread . The contraption had a big ring with holes for threads to insert into to be held while there is another ring but smaller version of the previous ring but it has an even smaller ring in the middle .
' I could use this to enchant the thread ' the thread was fixed through the smallest rings and she tied the end to a stick where the thread will be rolled ' I probably have to move this further away '
Lily pushed the pole away and attached a chain to the gears under the pole to allow the contraption to work as intended but on a larger scale ' I need one very long thread if I want to enchant this ' Lily got the other end of the first thread out and took a second roll of thread .
" Should be useful " Lily took a box and inserted the two ends into two holes at the side of the box as the two ends started to float in the air inside the box . This is a box used for binding material together using nanomachines to attach the tiny ends together .
The machine got to work and bonded the threads properly " It should automate properly " Lily opened her bracelet screen to see the drone rushing back at high speed " As expected of me "
Lily smiled whilst readying the enchantment she asked from the encyclopedia . A whole load of magic pearls arrived in the room and Lily started the procedure .
She watched the thread being enchanted while it is being rolled ' I can't believe this actually works ' Lily was very satisfied to see the giant roll of yarn ' It's more a cylinder but with this , I should make the giant covering ' Lily took the thread and the remaining pearls with here again with wind .
And gave it to a machine and plugged her bracelet " What kind of stuffed animal though ? " Lily doesn't know what kind of stuffed animal for the machine to make ' Say do you have info for the transformation of inanimate objects ? "
' There isn't but there is a shapeshifting ability inside the encyclopedia " ' Okay give me that then " Lily made the machine make the biggest piece of cloth .
While she learns the information she wanted receiving a few of them which change color , shape and molding metal like they were clay . It sounds easy right but you need actual craftsmanship to be able to mold said metal into the desired shape you can't simply picture it unless you are using your mind .
But Lily was already good at molding , playing with the play set since she was a child so she got an idea " I might be able to copy that weapon from that anime " you should watch the anime that has a weapon that can transform and it should be similar to the resulting work of Lily .
Lily got the giant cloth and connected the sides and corners to get a giant pocket and stuffed all the fur inside to get a house-sized pillow " I thought my bedroom was unnaturally big but this beats it " Lily smiled and used the encyclopedia to see the enchantment working as intended
" a prototype to ensure that the sky lands will work . " ( more like a prototype made for her own comfort ) Lily tries to move the giant pillow to the front and smiles " It's working " she jumps on it and sinks into the soft pillow .
' It's soft ' Lily floats around with the giant pillow and shrunk it to a huggable body pillow size arriving to her very big bedroom " Now for the metal " she sat on the pillow and made it float inside her bedroom where the enchanted chest sat . She made the chest float and making the chest cover the pillow to create a bendable spear and dashed out with it like surfing on the water .
" Cool " Lily used it to fly around her farm ' This is better than riding a helicopter ' she flies around and decided to look for Carrie ' I still need some materials too ' she flew to the forest where the fruits were grown and Carrie was taking pictures using the system .
" Carrie I want to use the system in exchange you can have this " Lily showed Carrie a seed of the abyss plant they fought " isn't this my loot " " finders keepers and I got you out of the abyss be grateful for that " " Ngh " Carrie could feel her favors being used .
" So I will give you five percent of what I will sell " Lily harvested the fruits quickly by sending wind blades with her hands and collecting them with the wind " Here is the fee " Lily gave Carrie the certain amount and gave her another twenty times more for the trading .
" This is for trade I want the resources in this list take note " Lily only gave Carrie very little time to note them down " Okay I'll be on my merry way and make sure to give it all to me . I plan to make an island in the sky " " Why ? " Lily looked at Carrie somewhat surprised .
' Does she know ? " ' No the gods only told her about fighting against the abyss but never who the abyss is like a hungry beast that no matter how many mouths have filled with land its teeth will always eat the land " " Damn I thought you knew " " Knew about what ? "
Lily sighed and told her " The abyss is like a bottomless hole consuming everything in its path and rising up this space eating the sun and repeating it again and again " " That's some end-of-the-world info you got "
" I got it from the encyclopedia gotta make sure I don't die I don't trust the people that got me here but I trust the ones who got you here the encyclopedia said they help fight against the abyss but don't know everything so might want to look for a way to get their attention "
Carrie sighed " How do I know I can trust you ? You look like a kid but sure don't act like one ? " " Well how will you even gain if you don't I could send you away or kill you , you don't have a bargaining chip and I might be able to take away that system of yours "
Lily got closer whilst giving out threatening words " Like I said "don't act like one" " " You don't act formal and did I complain ? " Carrie grumbles and takes the trading amount of fruits " Fine I'll overprice it since it has so many good effects but I can't do anything if I can't get the goods "
" Then give it back " Lily said " Fine But I will be leaving as soon as this trade is done " ting " Looks like it's done " " How do you do that ? " " Encyclopedia artifact " Carrie took a spatial ring from her storage " give me more I got so many resources to give you "
Lily looked at the ring to see how much volume was yet to be occupied " Okay , as for your payment " Lily gave Carrie the rest of the fruits in the forest " Here " Carrie handed the ring filled with all the resources to Lily " There's still some space in the storage " Lily was satisfied at the number of resources and wonders how come they have so much .
Let's discuss the system Carrie is in . She made an announcement that she was going to the abyss telling everyone to expect treasures she plans to excavate from the remains of other abyss fighters . So everyone was looking forward for the treasures and she showed up with plenty of said treasure .
So everyone wanted to buy it after seeing the honest description that they ignored the overpriced amount of resources . Thus allows her to gain all of them and she prepares to sell the info about the abyss and her connections . Too bad Lily knows about that too .
" Also don't think you can get away with selling my information " Carrie tensed and turned to her slowly " What else do you want ? " " I'll give you the requirements first and also an audience with those said gods of yours " Carrie frowns at the audience with gods part " Fine But just so you know it will be hard since they are managing a lot of people to be able hear one person's message . "
" I know I just want to make sure that you will try to do it , instead of ignoring my request and telling me you can't get it because no one found it yet " " Yeah yeah I get that so what are these "requirements" ? "
Lily sighs and looks at Carrie " You'll be a special exception since you helped me . And this requirement needs for me to have a connection with your system so I can give those customers a credit score to get status on my sky lands " " So this is how you are going to force me to call the admins first ? "
" Yeah , you still get something good anyways so I don't care too much " " Anything else ? " Carrie raised an eyebrow at Lily " No just mind your own business and maybe go back to the island you came from " Carrie sighed and took out an artifact to send herself back home .
Lily watches Carrie disappear and hold the ring with her using the encyclopedia to display the contents " That's a lot " Lily smiled looking at all of the resources she gained with a smile . She hopped on the giant pillow and flew to the top of the volcano arming herself with a barrier ' It's working as intended '
She could feel the air keeping its temperature and could feel no air resistance " I can already see how skylands would look like but I need to set up a pillar here to support it " she had an initial blueprint of the skylands but thanks to learning how to make it made her realize that her initial plan had some flaws .
She landed on the crater of the volcano to see the lava monsters celebrating the return of a king ' Would be rude to interrupt ' Lily got herself busy and used the spatial ring to mold a pillar providing it a magic structure suited as the main pillar of her sky lands .
" Now for the rest of them " Lily created four more pillars "wasting" all of the resources she gathered " Yes " they all flew in four different directions each sending a line of light connecting to adjacent pillars .
" Now for the last part of skylands " Lily returns to her farm walking to the lowest floor where high-tech computers are arranged ' If I made a few changes to this program I can build a sun underneath my farm '
The original purpose of this program was to keep the core of the planet from consuming the life of the planet . We don't know what would exactly happen when the core of the planet decides that we should die so this program is to trap the core in a stalemate of chemical reaction only allowing the core to release heat instead of aging into something to end the world .
She also has a device to remotely control the sun of the sky " Now that I think of it will there even be a nighttime here and what would it look like ? " ' It will be dark the sun is only a warm light very close to the land so the abyss will retreat once they contact the light '
" So does that mean that the abyss will attack at night ? " ' Precisely " " Any solutions ? " ' Use the mirror to create a moon " the moon basically reflects the sunlight so those a mirror " But how the sun basically disappears as it dims from the world like a lamp that loses its light that was in the info I got be accident "
' You can use the lava monsters they have magma on their bodies and your artificial sunlight technology to shine it at the mirror to spread the light across the whole world " " Sounds plausible " Lily got to work as quickly as she can since it was almost dawn " Move all artificial sunlight devices at these locations "
The machines moved to the inputted locations given to Lily by the encyclopedia while she arrived at the pillar above the volcano the closest standing ground to the location of the moon " Will this be able to reach across this space ? " ' The speed of light is very fast and while this land may seem vast but if you do it now the light can spread across further than later "
Lily sighed and held the mirror " Can this mirror reflect like the moon with this size ? " ' If you make it into a sphere with reflective properties in the surface and make sure that all the light hit it . It can replicate the effect of the moon " " Sounds effective "
The mirror started to change form into a sphere and Lily drew a ribbon of magic structure shrinking the size to circle around the surface of the new moon as all of the machines pointed the light where the mirror reached at high speed to shed light across the world once it reaches the converging area .
' It's bright ' Lily lowered her head down and saw the lava monsters staring at the moon ' They're too surprised ' Lily sat on the pillar and looked up " There are no stars , why ? " ' The sun is the only star in this world " ' That's depressing but they wouldn't be able to see the dark sky when they are busy defending against the abyss "
Lily went back to her bedroom and slumped into bed .
...
Carrie waited at her island looking at the shore opposite to where the sun will dim as the shadow cast from her hill allowed the shadow to grow darker enough for the abyss to surface " Huh " Carrie saw a light from a distance and could see a tower under that bright white light thanks to the artificial sunlight .
The light was so high up that it copied the effects of the moon exactly what the encyclopedia told Lily when she got the info of the location and altitude " Is that a moon ? " Carrie opened the system hoping she could find answers but even everyone was surprised .
"Is this an event ?" "Why is there a moon in this world ?" " Is everyone else seeing this ?" ' That place is where that girl is living ' Carrie thought and nodded knowing why the abyss was not coming . The white light the new moon made gave the world a nighttime atmosphere so everyone was able to relax for a night .
[ System announcement : the new moon is a mirror artifact made to reflect light by a very advanced islander . Make contact with the islanders to hope for benefits from the owner ]
" Looks like I'll be busy " Carrie looked at the shop where people were asking her for information . She set up a piece of starter information about an islander who has advanced technology and mass resources and food and that Lily has a very big island without the help of the system the admins or gods provided them .
"Abyss adventurer please sell more information about the advance islander" the announcement pushed the islanders to question Carrie earning her profits when she presented the information they wanted selling it on the trade option .
She readies herself for battle , since she can't let her guard done until she buys a night of protection using the solar barrier to keep the abyss away . Which she dare not spent yet since she still has a lot of energy to keep going .
...
" What a beautiful moon " Yoch looks at the moon nearby with the pillar under it " That human surprises us all the time how did she build a pillar that high ? " they'd be surprised to know that on this cloudy night , there was a pillar right above them .
The elves could feel the sunlight and the beastkins stared at the white light all of them missing the moon they used to see in their previous world . They could feel a little peace from the moon as this was the only light that watches them ever since there previous terrifying nights where they had to fend off the abyss together .
Meanwhile , the bottom of the abyss restarted its ecosystem as numbers of abyss walked down to search for the remains of the apex predator that used to occupy the labyrinth . The flower that got in the way of Lily's escape was a flower with very strong branches and roots the abyss that live there fell on the traps laid by that flower .
Which caused them to run since they can't reach its reverse scale which was the flower head . Lily was only able to defeat it with the information she obtained from the encyclopedia . But now that the flower is gone the abyss is looking for the roots to eat and gain power like insects in a poison pot .
But too bad something took the apex predator position when Lily left as a branch crept behind the abyss searching for food and thrusting through their bodies dragging them just like a murderer would do to their victim's corpse .
As the night consumed the surface area of this space the new predator ate its fill the moment it spouted into a sapling . And the admins took notice to compile the file for this new predator deep inside the abyss .
" Sleepy " Lily woke up in the middle of the night and prepared herself to get rid of any uncomfortable sensation that will get in the way of sleep . She left the bathroom and walked down the first floor to drink water and looked out ' There are no stars like the encyclopedia said ' she yawned feeling a constricting pain between her throat and mouth .
' Bed ' she walked back to her bedroom and dropped inside while Yoch couldn't sleep because of the busy town hammering nails , trees sprouting on the ground , fire cackling , cheers of fighting .
The merfolk kingdom was also busy as they have just obtained the fish feed they put it to use .
Now we are going back and forth between people so the mood can be set .
At the bottom of the abyss , a being could hear the cheers , snores and work of the people at the surface . It growled from its deep and eternal sleep and it would be a wish come true of eternal sleep means death but it growled .
If only it continued sleeping without a dream as that also came disturb the monster as the dreams would wake it up one day . Hopefully , it never does for the sake of peace but since you are reading this it probably will wake up and take out the surface of this space as the egg in the volcano cracks .
But there were too many snores for the magnas ( I finally decided to shorten the race with a name ) to hear the crack . Yoch wasn't wrong when he mentioned that this species specializes in incubating eggs and is a mothering species .
Carrie was slowly getting drowsy without any adrenaline keeping her awake as she purchased the sunlight barrier and fell down on the ground too tired to even move to a much more comfortable spot though it was not like there was any good bed for her .
Meanwhile , the gods at the top were choosing which world will be sent to drop into this space while they sat back in the high life watching all of the poor people they sent to the mines sacrificing their time and risking their lives just to feed their family ( This is metaphoric by the way ) .
And the machines were working into position to continue the project Lily left on the farm for her sky lands so she can avoid the abyss eating her farm .
