"They are bombs," I slowly said, before starting to explain everything related to these bombs. I didn't hide anything, spoke even about their deadly threat and how to deactivate and even activate and detonate them.
"This… Lord… This is quite risky…" even old Gan himself seemed a bit terrified from even touching these bombs.
"I know," I rolled my eyes, "I want you to study these thoroughly, see if there is a way to replicate the same technology and get us the same bombs developed."
"But…"
"I don't want the same lethality level, not right from the start anyway," I smiled calmly, "I just want you to start a big and secret project. These bombs came from an ancient civilization, a lost one, one that doesn't belong to our universe."
"Hmm… If so then can lord provide us with the drawings that described the way to make these?"
"Sure, give me papers and a brush," I received these and started to draw what I read before out of my memory.
"What are these spheres?"
"This method… It's totally brutal and overbearing!"
"What are they doing around these balls of light?"
The five started to examine the drawings I made once I finished one of these. And after they asked all they wanted, I started to give them the answers I got from these drawings before.
"They are stars?!!!" This was a shout that everyone said at the same time.
"It indeed is," I nodded, "it's not that big a deal."
"No lord, you don't get it," old Gan sighed, "we are in a singular world, one that's inside black hole. We… We don't have stars here! Not to mention to go out there, to the vacant space, and try to do this… It's all impossible, at least for us right now."
"I got it," I nodded, "that's why I didn't ask for the same lethality of these bombs at first."
"This… It's not related to just being too lethal or not, it's about the core of making these in the first place!"
"Look, I got more candies here," I got what old Gan and others were thinking of and objecting about. However this was just a hiccup problem in my eyes.
I waved my hand, and this time I took something they had never seen before.
"Bones?!"
"These are all bones!!"
"They got… Their energy level… Wow! Damn!!!"
I got dark realm bones, lots of them actually. I scattered them to cover a huge stretch of land here.
"These aren't just normal bones," I paused, picking one up before adding, "these are deadly bombs! They release fire, a deadly one, that can stretch to cover an entire continent! And will last for long days! That means…"
"They are like stars!" old Gan's eyes shone brightly when he realised my intentions, "do you want us to use these? But how?"
"I'll teach you," I paused before adding in strict warning, "don't ever try to activate these bones unless you are far away, inside a sealed space, and have nothing of value inside thousands of miles radius."
"..."
"Lord…" the girl from the MIT academy paused, "do you want to kill us this bad or what?"
"No, hell no! I want bombs, not to bomb you!" I frowned, got shocked by what she said for a long minute, before breaking out in a tense laugh, "don't take me wrong, I highly value you, all of you. You are like my strongest and sharpest weapon, and the most brilliant part of you is that you are unknown to the enemies."
"Well…" the five exchanged looks before I sighed, took out my pillar and started summoning shields all over the place.
"These shields can self repair, absorb energy from around, and can hold the power of the bones," I paused after scattering thousands of my shields all over the place.
It took me a few hours to do so, but it was worth it. These shields wouldn't cost me a penny to summon or keep them running. And they could use these to safely activate the bones and test the bombs without any threats or doubts.
"That will work," their tense faces eased a lot when they saw my shields, "how do we activate these bones then?"
"Watch me," I grabbed one green grade dark realm bone and started activating it. In a few minutes, it got all activated, and when I threw it fast inside the shield, it exploded into a fierce tsunami of red fire.
This scene baffled all of them. It seemed they never expected these bones to really release such an insane amount of fire.
"See? That's what I want you to use in place of the stars."
"Lord… Are you really trying to kill us?" even old Gan started to feel this way. And that made me inwardly sigh, in a helpless and powerless way.
It was indeed true, the path of power was always a solidarity path.
No one would accompany you on it, no one would comprehend or understand your feelings, plans, and even your troubles.
"Tsk! Just brace yourselves and start testing and experimenting," I waved my arm, "I'm done here. Do whatever you can, and prepare as many war weapons as you can. That war out there is now raging wild, but I got the feeling that at the end of it, your effort will be the decisive factor to win it."
"S… Sure lord, but… can you really reconsider this project? We can do it later on, after all this ends."
"Yes lord, it's better for us to focus on doing other things, like the weapons, portals, and other new inventions."
"That war can't wait, not like this project, right lord?"
"Shut the hell up!" I shouted in annoyance towards all of them, "we aren't playing safe house here! This is the damn apocalypse! All of those I know, all of those on my side, are all risking their lives out there for a long time already without any pause or rest! We never enjoyed a peaceful day, not like how you live your lives here!"
