217 Astral Core (1/2)

The Astral Core Formulation has several requirements.

Aside from having the Celestial Fragment as a catalyst, he needed four other types of energy to create his Core.

There are many types of energy that he can use but since this can only be done once, he had to choose the best form of energy he'll use.

He previously asked Avalon to prepare all the necessary requirements. In the end, it actually changed his plan and created a better option for him.

Instead of using thermal energy, Avalon suggested using the unique core of his Lotus Mech Frame model. All Mech Frames of this model have Radiant Wave Spectrum Technology. In general terms, it was a powerful microwave radiation emitter. By activating it on its silver right arm, any enemy Mech Frame it touches would fry its electronics and heavily warp the frame itself, making the machine unsalvageable.

This technology was all thanks to the unique Ion-Sting Reactor it possesses.

Now that he has a small amount of outer space's most powerful energy that humans could use, Wallace was confident that he can form the best Astral Core he could get.

But he was still worried about something...

”Do you think it is safe to do this in my room?”

[ Unable to answer. There is no reference we can base on. ]

”Have a guess... You can do it.”

[ ... ]

[ If there is a possibility that the user will fail to form the Astral Core, then the fusion of energies may go out of control causing a large explosion and destroying the place. This is assuming that there is a chance to fail. No precedence we can use to run a simulation. ]

”Well... You have a point. But I know that I can complete it. I wouldn't fail!”

He was confident since he was already blessed by the knowledge that came from the Pathfinder. Avalon can only process data that is base on Wallace's explanation about the Pathfinder.

It was still unable to quantify the information he was receiving whenever he consumed memory crystals or other potions that came from it.

But that was enough since Wallace can just add that into consideration whenever Avalon was making a calculation for him.

”Everything was prepared... But senior Lacus might contact me when I'm forming the core...”

Wallace muttered.

Consideringthis, he decided to give a set of instructions to Avalon once someone tries to contact him. He couldn't just let anyone disturb his seclusion once it started.

Forming an Astral Core might take three to seven days based on his own calculation.

It can also be very dangerous so he has to take this seriously.

After this, he went to the basement of his villa where four differently colored metal containers can be seen. The spherical containers weren't idle as they all slowly being rotated by several machines built around them.

There was even pulsating sinister energy around the golden container. It contains the mysterious Aether Force that can only be processed by the GH Drive.

He took his eyes off it and glanced around the room. It was walled by a thick metal and the door was even thicker by several inches. This was to lessen any damage that could come if the machines handling the four energies malfunctioned at some point.

Of course, Avalon made sure that it wouldn't happen but they have to always consider the safety protocol in handling these dangerous things.

”Mhmm...”

Wallace was satisfied at the place as he went to sit at the center of the room and took out the Celestial Fragment from his Spatial Bag.

He removed it from its small container and placed it on his palm.

It felt warm at first.

But soon, the fragment started glowing brightly with higher intensity every second that passed.

He feels now that his palm was about to get burned...

'Urgh... Let's begin!'

He felt the pain on his hand so he quickly started.

He focused his energy on his hands as he shattered the fragment into many more pieces.

Crash!

As the fragment shatters, the pieces started to dissipate turning into a cloud of blue smoke. The blue smoke then started to slowly pass through his skin where it used his pores as an entrance...

The Astral Core Formulation officially begins!

***

Avalon noticed that its user has now started his ”body enhancement”.

Aside from monitoring Wallace's condition, Avalon started its daily tasks.

The sales of the VR Pod was doing good as they earned 35 million credits in profit.

This was only their sales here in Zairus and Maja, which was their neighbor country.
