Star Forge Titan

"After purification, it becomes a rare material. I believe many people will be willing to exchange their treasures with you. And it seems that you have your own way of applying it."

"I know this thing is rare." Alvin smiled.

As for his method of using it, eating this pure crystallization of will as food, it sounds shocking.

In addition, although he didn't know how precious such things were in the upper planes, Alvin was not the kind of person who would feel at ease letting others work for him for free.

"Thank you. This will be very beneficial to the newborn Seraphim sisters." After hesitating for a long time, Lucifer finally accepted the crystal of will.

"By the way, do you need a guide to visit the Fire Realm Sky Defense Line?" Miss Angel asked casually with a blushing face.

"I just switched guards with Lord Glorious Shining Wings, and I'm on vacation right now, so I'm pretty free."

Hearing her words, Alvin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He was indeed quite interested in this huge star ring, so he simply invited the other party.

"If that's the case, that's a real help."

Chapter 21: Heading to the Star Ring

"My dear Fleur, you can hardly imagine where I am writing this letter..."

Alvin used a fountain pen with a light golden brass casing to write lines of text smoothly on the white letter paper.

Compared to the unsightly handwriting when he first learned the Xuma language, his handwriting is now very neat and has some personal touch.

The young man raised his head, his eyes involuntarily looking at the vast starry sky outside the porthole, and the huge star ring structure built around the entire planet.

At this moment, the New Logiras had already left the small observation space fortress on the border, farther from the star ring and closer to the planet itself. Meanwhile, the massive artificial structure of the star ring seemed even more majestic as the distance between them shortened.

Alvin's excellent perception and vision allow him to clearly observe the complexity and size of the star ring's structure.

In addition to the astonishingly large main ring, its surface is attached with countless functional modules, and various independent platforms of various sizes are floating around it. It is like a huge country shaped like a ring.

No, on some level, this may be close to an artificial continent or even an artificial celestial body. After all, its specifications and area are not much inferior to natural star rings.

It is really hard to imagine what kind of advanced technology is needed to artificially create such an exaggerated and huge structure.

It is really nostalgic to say that when I first traveled to Palladio, it was the recipient of this letter who taught me how to write the common Huma language, and the two parties later established a relationship closer than that of teacher and student.

I have to sigh that young people's emotions are always as fierce and passionate as flames.

Suddenly, the image of the girl's flowing red hair and her rose-like, soft lips emerged in his mind. Judging from the fact that Ivan's cheeks had suddenly become even redder than usual, it was clear that he was recalling more than just the above.

"The true appearance of the Fire Realm Sky Defense Line is so magnificent that it is shocking. If possible, I would also like to build such a magnificent wonder."

"Please don't doubt whether I can do this. Compared to the barbarian who walked out of the northern ice field with you when we parted, I have grown a lot now, both in ability and..." Having written this, Alvin suddenly paused. He realized that these words were easy to cause ambiguity, and he planned to cross them out and rewrite them, but because of some subtle feelings, he did not cross them out in the end.

"Because the newly acquired ancient heritage needs to be registered, it may take me longer than expected to return to Elrond. But it shouldn't take more than a week. It depends on the work efficiency of the angels. I hope there is no bureaucracy in the heavens, or at least not too serious."

"Fortunately, my new friend L has a wide network of contacts, and his friends' friends have helped a lot (I'm sorry, I haven't yet figured out the correct way to write their names, so I can only use their initials). This has saved us some overly cumbersome procedures. Perhaps we can consider inviting them to visit Elrond." Ivan raised his pen, a knowing smile on his face, and then continued writing:

"Of course, I have to ask the hostess's opinion first."

I wonder if Afrediya will look shy when she sees this letter.

Uh, considering that I've been away from home for much longer than expected, wouldn't it be better to go back later?

The boy frowned with inexplicable sadness. Although he was still a young man, he felt in advance the mood of a middle-aged office worker who "hangs out with colleagues for too long after get off work, and ends up going home and starting to smoke downstairs with shaking legs and trembling heart."

"My strong longing prompted me to write this letter and give it to my companions to pass on in advance. Those furry little guys are trustworthy. They are my most capable subordinates and companions at present. If the respected, beautiful and tolerant Majesty Afrediya is willing to forgive a barbarian who is too unruly, please be sure to give them the reply." After writing a long list of praises with wonderful pen, Alvin folded the paper with mixed feelings.

After placing the paper in the envelope and sealing it with wax, he stood up with the envelope and walked out of the spacious and comfortable captain's lounge.

The cat and mouse who was acting as a waiter at the door immediately raised his hand to salute. The little guy was wearing a blue and white sailor shirt and a matching navy hat on his head, looking like a sailor.

"Is the transport boat ready?" Alvin bent down and handed the envelope to Maomao Chong, and asked casually.

"Meow! Meow meow meow meow!" The cat dressed as a sailor stood on tiptoe with difficulty and took the envelope with both hands, and then gave a reply in the unique language of the accompanying cat.

Although the learning machine has instilled basic inheritance into all cat bugs, their body structure is obviously more suitable for making meowing sounds.

Unless absolutely necessary, catworms generally do not speak Old Norse or Common with humans. After all, the number of catworms that are familiar with these two languages ​​is quite limited, and most catworms can only understand by listening and reading but are not good at spoken conversations.

"Have you prepared it long ago? Oh, well done. You are worthy of being my proud member of the tribe." Fortunately, although he can't speak it very well, Alvin can also understand cat language unilaterally.

In a way, this can be considered a talent...

As for the transport boat he mentioned just now, it was actually the old Rogilas that was originally modified from a ship model.

After obtaining the Black Hammer, although Alvin has not yet fully mastered this powerful immortal creation, the enhancement of his core talent [Reshaping the World] after holding it alone has enabled him to complete many complex transformations more easily than usual.

One of them is to transform the old Rogilas into a high-speed transport boat.

After the transformation was completed, the ship was named "Meow Glory" by the cats and cats. The preferences of these furry little guys are as strange as ever.

The length of the hull was reduced from more than 70 meters to just over 50 meters, and the overall shape was changed from the original slender and handsome streamlined shape to a compressed shape that also conforms to the principles of aerodynamics but is much fatter.

However, the new ship's flight speed and overall endurance have been greatly improved. Although its attack is still like a model, the ship's defense capability has increased instead of decreased due to the expansion of the armor belt.

Simply put, the newly renovated ship, 'Suck Meow's Glory', was successfully transformed from a decent ship model into a high-speed transport craft with excellent speed, endurance, and defense.

After watching the cat-and-worm sailors walk onto the round-headed Meow Glory, and seeing the transport boat ejected from the hangar with a "bang", Alvin couldn't help but look forward to Frey's reply.

Previously, due to his ongoing battles across the desert against the Witch King's rule, the Northern Horn Merchants hadn't been able to deliver any possible reply to him. This time, with Cat directly acting as the messenger, I think he'll definitely get a reply, right?

At the same time, in the ship access waiting area near the main body of the Fire Realm Sky Defense Line Star Ring, the guarding angels were staring at the image reflected in the crystal in front of them with cold sweat.

"An excavation warship, super crossbow-class! Gods beseech you, this level of excavation secret treasure actually exists!?! No, no, is it really okay to allow a warship of this caliber to approach the Fire Realm Heaven's main body?"

"Don't worry, the guarantor is Lord Lucifer. Even if the ship's owner is a young child from the material world, he's probably not the type to do anything reckless." A powerful angel in charge took the initiative to comfort him.

"Oh, if it's that gentleman, he is indeed trustworthy."

Hearing Lucifer's name, most of the angels on duty showed a relieved expression, but some angels with relatively more seniority had a trace of worry on their faces.

After looking at each other, they carefully checked the ship entry work at hand several times.

The new generation may regard Lord Lucifer as an idol and a reliable spokesperson, but the elders who experienced his youth know that he was also a problem child known for his rebelliousness and recklessness.

He even shouted something like, "Rampage Angel, the fastest in the universe!" Those weird slogans that make me want to cover my face when I think about them now.

All in all, all in all.

Today, the 'New Logillas' successfully arrived at the main star ring of the Fire Realm.

Chapter 22: Letter from God

Star rings, megastructures, and super-sized artificial celestial structures.

The giant before us has many names, and the titles it has been given are countless.

Its essence is an artificial space structure that is so huge that it is beyond imagination and surrounds the planet.

Just like mountains to continents, even a towering ship like the New Logillas would appear somewhat "petite" compared to it.

However, when Alvin really approached this giant building, he found that it was different from what he had imagined. The Fire Realm itself presented a strange appearance that blended the ancient and the future.

There are both exaggerated columns in the style of the mid-period Giant Kingdom and minimalist silver-white metal frames, but the more significant difference is not the difference in architectural styles, but the literal difference between old and new.

It can be seen that the surface of the metal ring structure as the main body shows signs of being old and even slightly rusted, while many cabins or functional platforms that were obviously installed later are very new, smooth and bright.

What is the reason for this?

The confused young man stood at the porthole and thought for a long time, until someone blocked his view of the Fire Realm Sky Star Ring.

Duh duh.

Lucifer's smiling face peeked out from below, his flawless beauty covering most of the porthole.

Then, the six-winged Seraph lady reached out and knocked on the glass-like reinforced transparent crystal in the center of the metal frame. The solid material transmitted the vibration into the cabin and turned it into a light sound similar to knocking on the door.

Want to go out for a walk?

Lucifer conveyed this message through his lips.

Due to various reasons, the docking and stationing process of the super-bow-class ship is quite time-consuming. He realized that there was really nothing urgent to do at the moment.

So, Alvin nodded in agreement.

Speaking of which, Seraphim is really exaggerated.

Other angels will need to put on fully enclosed equipment with space suit functions before they can enter space.

However, the Seraphim can directly leave the cabin physically and maintain stable physiological activities for a long time without any problems.

It's as if it was designed from the beginning to be specialized for space combat, exploration and other operations.

You say Titan can do it too? Oh, that's fine.

Alvin, who walked out of the airlock in his casual clothes, realized this belatedly.

Then, an oval-shaped azure crystal appeared between his eyebrows, and a luminous pattern resembling a totem appeared on his forehead and gradually faded outward. At the same time, his body state also changed at the microscopic level, seamlessly switching from an external circulation that adapted to the planet's atmospheric environment to a closed internal circulation for use in space.

"Well, the scenery here is quite unique, isn't it? Ahead is the main body of the Fire Realm Sky Defense Line, a gigantic structure left behind by the great beings of the past—the Upper Plane."

The straightforward voice of Seraphim was heard in the thought wave communication. She seemed to really regard herself as a responsible guide. People couldn't help but sigh that this guy's attribute turned out to be a social cow, or a super Yang corner.

Speaking of which, it turns out that the upper plane is literally just the upper layer of low-Earth orbit...

"Yes, it's very shocking. I must admit that I have never seen such a magnificent picture." Alvin looked up at the metal artificial star ring half illuminated by the light of the stars with great emotion.

Why is only half of it illuminated?

Of course, that's because the remaining half is hidden in the shadow on the far side of the planet.

"Yes, but if you had arrived here thousands of years ago, the scene you would have seen would have been far less lively than it is now." Lucifer nodded, then smiled and pointed at the slightly old main structure of the star ring.

"Why do you say that?" Ivan asked curiously:

"When the gods first arrived in the upper planes, it was a land of cold steel, dark chambers, and endless silence. Aside from the steel ring that remained stable, there were few sources of light."

Lucifer let out a meaningful sigh on the thought wave communication channel.

"Later, the gods created the angels. Those predecessors persevered in exploring this abandoned giant star ring structure for a thousand years. In the process, they gradually reopened many large cabins that were in relatively good condition."

"Eventually, we have the current Seven Heavens, the Free Wilderness, and the entire upper plane illuminated by light."

"To this day, the Fire Realm Sky Defense Line built with the metal ring has become the strongest barrier to prevent demons from invading the material world."

Through Lucifer's oral narration of the brief history of the development of the upper plane, Alvin learned a lot of information that he had never known before, including the origins of the 100 species in the heavens.

Most of the different angels come from large space stations of different types and functions. These ultra-ancient buildings that have been gradually repaired and restarted contain various technologies.

He could hear the uncontrollable pride in the angel's tone, but what Alvin was more curious about was the true identity of the person who first built this planetary metal belt?

The answer is self-evident. Apart from the Titans who transformed the entire planet into Gaia tens of millions of years ago, Alvin couldn't think of anyone else who had such amazing technical capabilities.

Clearly, our ancestors left behind a vast and unexpected ruin. However, it remains unclear what their purpose was.

A project of this magnitude as planetary transformation can't be just for fun, right?

But if he is an alien immigrant, he is the only one who can be called a true Titan in the entire continent.

After thinking it over and over again without coming to any reliable conclusion, Alvin looked at Lucifer who was smiling beside him.

Although they had only been together for a short time, Alvin had already recognized some of the other person's most distinctive personality traits.

In his previous life, this guy would definitely be the leader of a student group, the big sister of the grade, the president of a gaming guild, or something like that.

He is enthusiastic and cheerful, very patient with others, and never takes the initiative to interfere in other people's affairs. At the same time, he is very good at discovering the strengths of others, and has an undisguised tolerance. It even makes people wonder what kind of tragic scenes of hell this angel has witnessed to be so lenient towards the vast intelligent life.

Apart from that, Lucifer gives people a feeling of being very free and at ease. She doesn't look like a Seraphim who is always on the battlefield and associated with blood, death and even fire. Instead, she looks more like a high school girl who is full of energy and leisurely.

From her attitude towards another candidate Seraph, it can be seen that this guy seems to like taking care of the younger generation.

Well, I have to admit that Lucifer is a very suitable person to be friends with. Being with her makes people feel very comfortable, just like soaking in a hot spring.

Wait, she loves to take care of people, is good at discovering the strengths of others and praising them. No wonder when this guy rushed into hell in the later version, a full one-third of the angels joined her independent legion.

It seems like I discovered something extraordinary...

Ivan's face turned strange, but he quickly concealed it.

No one likes a prophet, especially one who talks all day about things that haven't happened yet but does nothing about them.

The two chatted for a few more words in space. The halo above Lucifer's head suddenly brightened, and Ivan felt a barrier appear around him, isolating the outside world from the outside. It was a special barrier released by the Holy Light of the Heart, capable of blocking almost all possible external observation.

Combined with the special environment around him, he immediately realized that the other party must have something to say to him that could not be heard by others.

"Evan, can I call you that?" Lucifer's opening remarks were very down-to-earth.
