"Veda?"


    Miss Chamber, Miya, and the rest of the team have heard of its name for a long time now. However, none of them has a Terminal or device to get ess to it. ??


    "Veda… Are you rted to the Database that we''ve heard of?"


    Miya asked after getting surprised. Just like what she thought, there was something different to the automaton who suddenly spoke to them.


    It has different light and tone when speaking.


    [ That is correct. I am that database. Anyway, are you going to start studying them now? ] Veda answered.


    Miya looked at the rest of the team to confirm whether they will indeed start researching now.


    "Hmm… We''re already prepared. But I would like to ask something first, Veda…"


    [ Of course, Miss Chamber. Go ahead and ask anything you''d like to know. ]


    The A.I. replied with confidence. Miya had realized that this Veda doesn''t seem to speak like an A.I. at all. It feels like they were speaking with another human! It was such a weird but fascinating feeling.


    "How can you help us with this research? It''s not that I''m underestimating you… I just want to know how will you aid us. As you know, we need to study Death Energy using our Soul Arts… If you''re unable to detect them, you won''t be able to follow our study." Miss Chamber exined.


    [ That makes sense. However, you don''t have to worry. Studying this energy is much easier than the previous tasks I''ve had. ]


    The A.I. answered and started exining…


    [ I''ve already sessfully developed the Seventh Generation Mana Artifact and Wace''s factory is now starting to mass-produce them. Let me tell you, that project is much harder than you think. ]


    "What?! The Seventh Gen?"


    "Is that possible?"


    "Wait, I haven''t even heard about its existence yet!"


    "That''s true. The Sixth Generation''s Spirit Forging Magic was just released to the public. Howe there''s already a Seventh Generation?"


    Everyone, except Miya, was surprised upon hearing the existence of the Seventh Gen. After all, its existence is considered top-secret information since it can be used as a trump card against other nations.


    However, now that the war against the aliens is ongoing, there is no point hiding its existence anymore as everyone would still know about itter on once the elite magicians were already allowed to equip them.


    At the very least, only the method of its creation will remain unknown to the public.


    Well, it can be said that Wace doesn''t have any ns of revealing the method to the public even if the leaders of all nations would beg for it.


    The method was just too cruel and it shouldn''t be used unless they are facing extinction like what is happening right now.


    If they couldn''t eliminate the aliens now, they will certainly face death or very for eternity.


    [ Don''t be too surprised. The Seventh Gen Mana Artifacts will be used to fight against the aliens. As soon as we''ve manufactured enough numbers, we will be starting the second offensive against the aliens. ]


    Veda exined. The team of soul arts practitioners asked a few more questions before they started heading towards the research room.


    They do not have plenty of time so they need to start their research already.


    ''Amazing… So aside from learning the secrets of Death Energy and finding ways to counter it, there are other ns set up by Wace.''


    Miss Chamber mused after talking to Veda. She thought that the Moon Base, Mech Knights, Spaceships, the Floating Inds, and the assistance in the production of the Sixth Generation Mana Artifacts were already the limit of Wace''s preparations.


    She only realized now that the young man still has backup ns.


    "It''s good that we still have plenty of things we could rely on. I just hope that once we learned how to use the Corpse Furnace, we can already finish this war and eliminate these aliens."


    Miss Chamber muttered.


    [ Well, I don''t think that it will be enough. Even if we learned how to use the Corpse Furnace or even learned how to use Julian''s Forbidden Soul Art, there is no way we could defeat them. ]


    "Eh? What do you mean, Veda?"


    Everyone had a confused expression after hearing the A.I.


    If all of those were still not enough, then what do they have to do to defeat these aliens?!


    Apparently, they were not aware of the natives from the Northern Continent somewhere in Zairus bidding their time.


    There''s also the existence of the Celestial Being which even the council of war is not aware of. Of course, Grand Arcanist ine Allusia was an exception to this. After all, he''s together with the natives and the Celestial in the Floating Inds when they crossed the continent.


    [ Don''t worry about it. You just have to know that Wace still has ns even if we failed in this second offensive. You should also know that ine''s Arcana is already starting as well. ]


    "Ahh… I''ve heard about that!"


    "I remember now… He went to the Northern Continent because of that, right?"


    "Ohh… Now that you said it, I heard that it will help the non-magicians adapt to the existence of Mana. It is histest Arcana."


    "That''s true… It seems that they no longer have to wait for the trials of the Inheritence Pill to be a magician."


    Miya heard everyone which made her confused. She wasn''t aware of ine''s Arcana. She was probably too busy thinking about the war that she had forgotten to listen to other news.


    Anyway, she knows that the Grand Arcanists are all doing their best to help the citizens of this nation so she wasn''t too surprised that they are also doing incredible things like Wace.


    As a matter of fact, they should be the ones leading the innovations and not the young man.


    Speaking of which, she remembered some important things.


    "What about the other Grand Arcanists and Grand Sages, where are they? They did not participate in this war at all!" Miya voiced out her thoughts. There was even a hint of irritation in her tone.


    Tons of magicians have sacrificed their lives while the other powerful magicians of this country are nowhere to be seen.


    The others agreed with her sentiment.


    Nevertheless, Veda answered her withplete information.


    [ 06:07:58 – Grand Sage Gildarts and Grand Sage Morris engaged in a battle against the advanced forces of the Seiji Alliance. ]


    [ 07:33:05 – Grand Arcanist Aura arrived at the border of Guwain to ensure that we wouldn''t encounter a surprise attack from the Imperial gship. ]


    [ The other Grand Sages and Grand Arcanists are staying at Dolu City guarding the leaders of this country. ]
