Chapter 114: Chapter 108: Divine Armament
Cass sighed as he watched Zeke create a smaller version of the celestial planet to experiment with. He kept creating and destroying things on the small celestial planet until he was satisfied.
Cass thought, ’Great. This is just what he needed to fuel his God complex even more.’
But no matter what Cass thought, he had to admit that Zeke had talent for such things. He had entered a state of complete focus. It was just him and the celestial globe. He was creating buildings, reservoirs, bridges, sewage systems, etc.
Cass started getting bored, so he left Zeke to his devices and returned to Dimension Zero. He decided to check out his new skills.
-------------------[Skills]-------------------

-------------------------------------------------
Cass whistled in surprise. But he felt like there was something else that he could check. He followed that feeling, and a System Window opened in front of him. But it wasn’t one he had seen before.

Cass was silent. He needed to test this out. He went to Leonel.
He said, "Grandpa, I need your help."
Leonel said, "What’s up?"
Cass said, "I need you to attack me. It has to be an attack that is the peak limit of F Grade."
Leonel asked, "Why?"
Cass said, "I need to test something out."
Leonel wanted to refuse, but considering that it was Cass making the request and not Zeke, he figured it must be important. And not something crazy.
So he said, "Alright, get ready. It will hurt even though you’ve ascended to the E Grade."
Cass stood still while Leonel pulled back his fist. He used the Skill: Perfect Control—something he had created himself after achieving perfect control over his body—to limit his strength to the F Grade. And then he punched.
There was no mana in the punch, but Cass could still hear the wind whistling. Leonel thought that Cass would use a defensive skill or simply dodge, but he did neither. He just stood there. Just as Leonel’s fist was about to touch Cass’s solar plexus, an armor manifested on his torso.
It started emerging from the Totem but quickly covered his entire torso. An earring also appeared on either ear. There was a loud clang. Leonel’s fist had hit the armor, but Cass didn’t feel a thing.
He checked his stats and, as he had expected, they were perfectly fine.
Leonel pulled back his fist in pain. He quickly circulated his mana to heal his hand.
He looked at Cass, who looked like a war god clad in his armor, and asked, "What the hell just happened?"
Cass didn’t answer him. His focus was on the glowing Totem in the center of the armor. He went to a training dummy and punched it. There was a large crack in the dummy.
Leonel looked at it in surprise. The dummy was supposed to be able to handle any E Grade attack with ease, so how had Cass cracked it? He had just used his physical strength. But then he noticed that the Totem on the armor was no longer glowing.
Cass explained the origin of the armor to Leonel. A weird light flashed in Leonel’s eyes when he heard the words *Divine Armament*, but it was so subtle that Cass didn’t notice it. He just continued experimenting with the armor, hoping to gauge its limits.
The next morning, a disheveled Zeke appeared from a portal. He went straight to the kitchen and stocked up on food. Then he returned to Aurevion. Everyone was having breakfast, and they paused for a moment. Everyone except for Cass. He just continued eating as if nothing abnormal had happened.
Katherine asked, "What is he doing now?"
Alexi massaged his forehead and said, "Please tell me that it isn’t anything too crazy."
Cass said, "It’s nothing much. He’s just creating some blueprints."
Katherine asked, "For...?"
Cass said, "Well, for the celestial planet. It’s complicated."
Katherine said, "Then simplify it for me."
Cass took a deep breath and said, "Long story short, we have the entire population of Murim in Aurevion. They are still in their cocoons, so it’s fine right now, but they will need somewhere to live once their transformation is over."
Katherine said, "So Zeke is creating blueprints for them? That’s nice of him."
Cass put down his fork and said, "Please don’t say that in front of him."
Katherine asked, "Why?"
Cass said, "Because he isn’t just creating the blueprints. He is also going to build everything. And it’s not just for the people of Murim; it’s for every Neo-Nephilim that transforms in the future."
Alexi asked, "What do you mean?"
Cass said, "We are almost omnipotent in Aurevion. We can create things with a simple snap of our fingers and destroy them just as easily. As long as we have enough Faith, there is nothing we can’t do inside Aurevion. Zeke isn’t planning to build a simple city. He is building enough infrastructure for a whole planet."
Alexi said, "Oh well, at least he isn’t risking his life."
Zenia, who was sitting beside him, started giggling. So he started playing with her while talking to Cass.
He said in a baby voice, "It’s much better than before, isn’t it? At least big brother Zeke isn’t in danger."
Cass sighed. Zeke’s deeds had already skewed his family’s perception of normal and crazy. To them, everything was fine as long as Zeke wasn’t putting anyone in danger, himself included.
