Man on the ark, forced to become king

At that moment, Kal'tsit suddenly remembered the soldier she had seen in that battle, who seemed to be some kind of spirit, and the woman with one eye closed.

Their life forms are clearly different from those of conventional species.

They are closer to the concept of 'soul' than to a physical body.

The towering trees standing in the wilderness are so dazzling, their unparalleled vitality far surpassing that of even immortal gods.

Could it be that the Golden Tree possesses the power to reverse life and death?

They can even kill gods, and eternal deities can be turned into weapons and brought back to life; it doesn't seem like an insurmountable feat.

An incredible miracle has already occurred, and another miracle may well exist.

If that's the case, Theresa...

"……I see."

Kal'tsit nodded slightly, her mind wandering, and hurriedly left the study.

"I wonder if this cat will pounce on me and bite me when I find out that everything she did was in vain."

Watching Kal'tsit's figure disappear outside the door, Lin Lu couldn't help but mutter to herself. Then she looked down at the table, spread out some paper, and prepared to draw a sketch.

Now that a willing sucker has been found to pay for the materials needed to make the doll, the design drawings should be completed as soon as possible.

Having the blueprints will tell us exactly what materials are needed to achieve this, and we can quickly compile a list so that Kal'tsit can find them sooner.

Once this body is made, Lani won't have to be trapped in that little doll, sleeping all day long.

But... what kind of body should we design?

Strength... this must be guaranteed first; the object that carries the soul must not be easily damaged.

Then there are the functions.

The doll she makes this time can't be as dilapidated as the one she used in the border region. It's not enough to only have spellcasting ability; it also needs to have melee combat ability.

Hmm... In this world, Originium-related spells are more popular, so I'll first implant a staff into my body, along with a device to amplify the power of spells, and ideally, solidify a few spells that can be used at any time.

For example... firing spell beams from the eyes?

Breathing fire and ice from its mouth... that's not good, it could easily cause problems.

Unfortunately, the most basic external appearance still needs to be maintained, otherwise the transformation function could be added.

It's not that there's no solution.

If it can't transform, then add some extension devices, such as automatically transforming into armor during battle.

Speaking of armor... how about adding a flight device?

Which is cooler, jet flight or wings?

Oh, right!

Lani is a girl, after all, so she must like fancy things. Aren't her own Dark Moon Magic and Ice Magic pretty fancy?

It's clear that even though she didn't say it, she quite liked it.

Since that's the case, the new body also has some gorgeous and cool decorations!

Lights that can change color automatically?

There are also small devices that can play music...

Lin Lu felt increasingly inspired as she thought about it. She looked at the stick figure sketch she had drawn, her eyes darting around, and shouted outside, "Xi!"

Indeed, design drawings should be left to professionals.

------------------

"Wow, these living conditions are so harsh..."

Under the golden tree, Nian pulled out a safety helmet from who-knows-where and muttered a complaint to himself about the empty space in front of him.

She looked at the unfinished houses over there, then at her own empty plot of land, and sighed helplessly.

Who would have thought that they would have to build their own house?

At times like these, she envied Xi's ability; that guy could just hang a painting on the wall and use it as a room, it was really convenient.

She can't do it.

The god of casting is not the god of construction. The authority of casting does not include the skill of building houses. He cannot conjure a house out of thin air with a wave of his hand.

You can't exactly cast a house out of metal, can you?

Of course, she could also wait until the 'staff' finished with the house over there and then get one for her too.

But judging from the work efficiency of those two unlucky guys, they probably won't be able to move into their new houses anytime soon.

So... if you don't want to be stuck in the Great Blessing and sleeping on the floor like Sakta and Liberi, you'll have to do it yourself...

With that thought in mind, Nian put one hand on her hip and began to make some plans for her future residence.

After thinking for a while, she turned back to Da Cifu to talk to her boss about the house, but before she got there, she saw Xi and Lin Lu walking out of the study side by side.

"Huh? How did you two end up together?"

"What do you mean by 'mixing together'? I asked Xi to come and help me draw the design sketches for the doll's body!"

Lin Lu immediately retorted, then noticed that the helmet on her head had two holes specially cut out to let the horns stick out. She thought, "With holes in it, how can it still provide any safety protection?"

"What...are you trying to do?"

"What are you doing? Building a house!"

Nian spoke with righteous indignation, blinked her eyes, and suddenly leaned forward, almost snuggling into Xi's arms. However, before she could get close, a blue hand pressed down on her cheek and pushed her away.

"Since you're not providing accommodation, I'll just set up my own place. Hey, hey, don't push me away, let me take a look."

You don't understand.

Xi held a stack of blueprints in her hand, glanced at her coldly, her eyes looking at some kind of non-combustible garbage, her contempt overflowing.

"I don't understand? I'm the number one blacksmith in the world. Even for puppets, I have experience making terracotta warriors. You're saying I don't understand?!"

Nian was about to explode. She was always the one bullying Xi, but now she was being looked down upon. How could she tolerate that?

She absolutely has to see it today!

Not only should we observe, but we should also offer constructive suggestions!

"Let her see it, it's nothing special anyway."

Lin Lu didn't care; rather, he wanted to share his great design with others.

Lani's new body is the culmination of all his imagination and design thinking, so of course he's going to show it off and shock them!

"Exactly, you're such a cheapskate."

Nian chuckled, snatched a few blueprints and examined them closely, but his smile froze on his face.

"What the hell is this?"

If she remembered correctly, this design was supposed to be for the little figure, Lin Lu's partner, to prepare a new body, right? Is that right?

But what is this on the drawing?

Who has eight arms growing out of their body?!

Well, that little doll also has four arms. Maybe that's just what people like, so it's not unacceptable.

What kind of bizarre thing is this propulsion device—the light wing deployment?

'When necessary, mechanical structures extending from its back to form wings can propel it into the air via energy jets, enabling agile aerial maneuvers.'

Look at this description, is this something a human could come up with?

Putting everything else aside, the very act of splitting open its back and extending wings is terrifying enough, isn't it?

There are also body surface lights that can reflect mood and have their own music rhythm, and music playback devices built into the body... What kind of hellish things are these?

The most outrageous design is the one that shoots magical beams from the eyes. Is this meant to create a new body for a person, or is it some kind of conceptual, comical war weapon?

"What's wrong with the doll's body design I made?"

Lin Lu grinned broadly, looking very proud.

"How about it? Isn't it an unprecedented and ingenious design? It combines a beautiful and cool appearance with practicality that can handle any unexpected situation. Isn't that impressive?"

"..."

Nian shoved the blueprints into Huixi's hands, silently took a few steps back, and then, as if feeling it wasn't far enough, took a few more steps back.

"?"

"What are you doing?"

"Stay away, I'm afraid your blood will splatter on me when you get beaten up."

Such a design is truly astonishing, and even someone as imaginative as Nian has to give it a thumbs up, calling it a stroke of genius.

She knew without even thinking that if she showed this thing to that person, there was a 1000% chance that he would get beaten up!

No girl with even a shred of normal thinking would accept such a bizarre design, let alone apply it to herself—the image would be too much to bear.

A beautiful girl with jet-powered mechanical wings on her back, flashing light strips on her body, her own background music, laser-shooting eyes, and eight arms.
