173 Spiritual Energy Detectors (2/2)

Opening a portal into another plane of existence, I mean.

Even Zeus is not sure how they did it exactly. He only forces the rift the open wider through raw power alone. It is not the same as forming a bridge in the first place.

I ponder about that for a moment while looking at the Spirit Shards alone in my spatial dimension. It's really easy to clone them, but the cloned Spirit Shards are empty of spiritual energy.

Even so, they are still useful, so I clone a million of them.

Legion did analyze a shard, finding the just plain glass container. It is the same finding as blank monster core. Neither are obviously glass even if they look like glass. They are as fragile as glass though, so it is pretty dangerous to leave them lying around.

Regardless of what Spirit Shards are made of, I have Legion prepare an arena for me.

Once Legion did, I take out a bottle of mana and consume it. Magical energy immediately fills my body and flows within my body, and with magical energy, a certain Dragon God decide to come out to play.

”Hello Ingra.”

I greet as the burning dragon surrounds me and roars, sending a powerful blast of flames against me in an attempt to vaporize me. I defend against the attack, but just like before, it is far too powerful to be stopped.

Despite being magical in nature, it damages my soul, meaning it is capable of harming spirits.

And as Ingra is completely focused on obliviating me, Legion attempts to sap it of its spiritual energy, and it is working. Those Spirit Shards glow with power, but just like monster core, it could not contain the might of a Dragon God.

Did I contain Zeus in a monster core without much effort? Why is it so hard for Ingra, who is also just a will of the original?

I guess this is different between an actual imparted will versus an actual temporal clone.

Ingra appears to be pissed off at my attempt to sap its spiritual energy. It attacks me with a lot more ferocity, but once my magical energy runs out, it has no choice but to retreat back into my soul.

Well. That didn't work. I guess I need bigger Spirit Shards. These shards are from Spirit Hounds, which are years to decades Spirit Beasts. Basically, ants in the Twisted Nether.

It is not a complete loss since Legion did get a lot of data when spiritual energy of Ingra gets absorbed into a Spirit Shard. Into millions of Spirit Shards.

Despite not being able to detect spiritual energy visually or electronically, Legion can actually detect when a Shard is filled with energy. This is because one a shard is filled with spiritual energy, it becomes invisible.

Since a Spirit Shard only need to come into contact with spiritual energy to begin absorbing, I just think of a good way to detect spiritual energy.

”Legion, workshop.”

I request the workshop, so I can design a new type of drone. Upgrading Shield's Surveillance Network will require some overhauling, not to mention time, but to create a new cloak drone didn't really take that much time.

Aside from cloaking and antigravitational devices and the essential, the spiritual sensor only needs to carry a Spirit Shard. If it runs into spiritual energy, the shard will become invisible, thus basically telling me where there is spiritual energy.

Once I finish design the bug, I really wish the Miniaturization Project is complete. If it did, I could shrink the new spiritual sensor into the size of an ant. It is as big as a coin right now.

In any case, it allows me to locate places with spiritual energy. Perhaps, I will be able to find a Spiritual Nexus somewhere in the world.

Having one will speed things up for Zeus and Zephyr since they are able to absorb a lot of pure spiritual energy. It also helps me to cultivate.

Spiritual Nexus connects to the Spiritual Plane. A place similar to the Twisted Nether. It is one of the places where souls go when their corporal body expires.

So, there is that.

It isn't as nearly as interesting as the Twisted Nether, considering only the dead can go to the Spiritual Plane. Going there as living person is asking to die.

Anyway, I have Legion fabricate the new drone. A trillion of them. It takes Legion about 10 minutes to do what I have asked. The fabricating capability is impressive.

Once Legion is finished calibrating them, I return to the real world and let them loose. It will take about a day or so for them to disperse all over America. A week to disperse around the world.

If I need more, I will have Legion build more, but it isn't really necessary since the drones are not like stationary camera. They will always be on the move.

And while Legion is carrying out my wishes, I drive to the hospital to check up on Christina. Shield has found her mother. She is living in Pennsylvania.

It is a long drive, but not so long with my power.

I initially thought of taking care of Christina myself, but it didn't seem right with her mother is still alive along with her younger sister. It is better for her to reunite with her family.

Furthermore, Christina is far too young to be useful to me. Her ability did not manifest yet. It mightn't, considering not every baby carrying the M-Strain will.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Of course, I didn't come to pick her from the inhouse playground at the hospital alone.

And Christina is frightful to see her father with me.

It is not actually her father, who is in intensive care due to me beating him up.

”Christina, sweetheart. Listen to me.”

Legion speaks to Christina while wearing her father's body and face. Not literally because that would be quite gross. Not to mention unnecessary with shapeshifting capability.

”Daddy will be going away for a long time, so I will have your mother take care of you. Please go with this doctor, Max. Listen to everything he says, okay? He will take you to your mother. And I am sorry for everything I did to you. I have been a very bad father.”

Legion tells her and then gives her a hug. She is both shocked and surprised at the hug.

It seems like her father rarely hug her, at least not like this.

Her small hands eventually reciprocate, wrapping around Legion and hugging him tightly. It is the best I could give her since her father is in a coma. He also wouldn't have done such a thing.

Despite what had happened, Christina does not really hate him. He is still her father after all.

And like most people say, blood is thicker than water. I suppose I believe that as well since I am paying far too much attention to someone like Christina.

The embrace lasts for a long time, and once it is done, Legion says his farewell before leaving the room without hesitation. He has finished his acting.

Surprisingly, Christina chases after him, but he is nowhere to be seen.

”Daddy. Daddy!”

Christina calls out as I pat her on the head a few times before speaking up.

”Let's go, Christina. I will take you to your mother like your father has wanted. And we can also go for dinner on the way there.”
