Maggie, the little crow-goddess had gone into the golden giant ball for a long time. During the entire half an hour, strange sounds came from the side of the ball: the clinking of metal parts, the sound of energy bursts, and the occasional groan from the little crow goddess as if she had hit herself and was in pain. Hao Ren would have run if not for Raven 12345 preventing him. He was now even more convinced that whoever his neurotic boss knew, they were all weird. The only reason the giant ball hasn’t exploded yet is probably due to the author disallowing it, he thought to himself.

“How long does she have to take?” Vivian asked. The strange noises from the engine core worried her. The palm-sized goddess could have broken something. “What the hell is she doing?”

Raven 12345 squinted when she talked with Maggie telepathically. She then waved her hand, alleviating their concern. “Maggie has found the core area and is trying to disable the security shield. Rest assured, she is an expert in lock picking. She doesn’t even need to know how it works before unlocking it—”

Before Raven 12345 finished, a sudden whistle increasing in intensity came from within the golden giant ball. Something strange was happening!

The surface of the giant ball had moved again, and the golden light was shining through the gaps with a strange sound before the ball came apart.

The giant ball disintegrated, many odd-shaped metal objects blown out from the ball in all directions, hit Hao Ren directly in the face.

He instinctively raised his hand to block the fragments, to his surprise, the pieces did not actually hit him. He opened his eyes. The metal fragments flew past and through him like phantoms. The pieces rapidly changed shape and grew larger as they were blown outwards before forming a translucent image in the distance.

Vivian was surprised. “Is it a holographic projection?”

“No, it doesn’t seem like one,” Hao Ren said, glancing up. At the center of the explosion, there was a bright glow. “This core has indeed disintegrated, and those fragments—”

“They transformed from material to imaginary, as if trying to demonstrate something.” Raven 12345 was heard saying, calmer than Hao Ren and Vivian, even during the explosion. “How is my hair?”

“Err, still look great.”

“Great. Let’s continue,” Raven 12345 said, waving her hand and pointing at the loose fragments around. “Look at those things, they are components of the ball. Something never-seen-before has appeared. I guess they are the missing parts of the Creation Engine, which you can use to finish the engine. Maggie!”

The tiny crow goddess jumped out from the light and came up to them. “Croak!”

Raven 12345 grabbed the little crow goddess and said, “I know, I know. You didn’t brood it, it broke apart on its own. Well done. You’ve taken down its security shield. Now let’s see what this thing is for. Have you got the data?”

The little goddess cried in a high-pitch croak.

“Okay, let me see. Oh, yes, please don’t go first. I need you to restore this thing afterward.”

“Croak…”

Listening to their conversation, stunned. Hao Ren asked Raven 12345, “How did you even know what she said?”
