276 Seeking Improvemen (1/2)

Raven just finished his meeting with the Inscriptionists. He already handed them the task on forming the necessary parts for the creation of the Grand Purging Array.
The Grand Purging Array requires ten miniature arrays which will take the form of a totem. And just like the Skynet Array, they will be placed around the borders of the Kingdom, which will then be activated once they accumulate enough power. Apart from the totems, they also needed to build at least five control panels which could allow them to control the array.
The matter about entering the kingdom won't be a huge problem since the array will have a Recognition Design. Once the array was activated, it will scan and memorize every people inside its territory. Those who were recognized by the array won't have any difficulties entering or leaving the kingdom should they need to.
Due to the simplicity of the project, Raven had no doubts that the Inscriptionists will have no problems handling the matter. In fact, he even suggested to allow some amateur inscriptionists to participate in its creation in order to give them more experience. Of course, Raven will check the final product to ensure its quality but Raven have faith to these young inscriptionists.
He already withdrawn all the necessary materials needed for the formation so he could let them do the rest. Placing the array at the borders of the Kingdom was even more simple due to the existence of the Worker Constructs, which performances greatly improved due to the Blacksmiths' research over this time.
It was already night time when Raven finished all his errands, he went back home, ate and took a brief rest before entering the Crown Space to train yet again.
As the familiar scene inside the Crown Space welcomed him, Raven took a deep breath in and did some light warm-up.
Raven was little solemn currently. He felt like the odds are slowly stacking up against him. There this nagging feeling inside of him that if he didn't do something, he might go insane eventually.
As part of his usual training, Raven brushed up with some of his techniques. So far, he had developed some moves which he named 'Chaotic Hammer Series'.
This technique takes full advantage of the 2nd form of the Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer. Each swing in this form causes a fist-shaped energy pillar to strike down to his desired target, and with at little bit of finesse, he could also change the trajectory of his strikes to catch his opponents off guard.
The thing that must be known about using the 2nd form of Raven's hammer is that, each attack he makes in this form will cause him to bear an immense burden. The Archaic Thousand Arms Hammer currently weighs about 100 tons. To a normal person, there is no way that they will be able to swing this thing at all but due to Raven's body being tempered to another level, he could use this hammer without the problem. Whenever Raven swings the hammer while it's on its second form, the weight of the hammer will increase depending on how many fist-shaped pillars he summon.
Each fist raises the weight of the hammer for at least ten tons, so far Raven could summon ten which means that if he summons all arms, his body is bearing the burden of a 200 ton hammer. This weight, although scary, is still somehow manageable for Raven. Which is why he could use summon ten arms multiple times to amplify his attacks.
Raven could manipulate these arms in order to attack or defend himself. The attack that he mostly used with ten arms is the 'Ten Smiting Fists', which will cause fist pillars to strike down like falling stars at his target. The other is called 'Twisting Decimation', where the arms will materialized behind him and coil themselves up to each other and fly forward like a huge battering ram.
The more destructive attacks he developed were 'Ten Land Shifting Palms' and 'Ten Overturning Sea Palms'. The Ten Land Shifting Palms will cause palms to appear from underground and push a piece of land high up in the air. As for the Ten Overturning Sea Palms, it will cause ten palms to flip a decent piece of land over along with his target.
