My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

[Rune pen creation successful]

Hearing the notification he had been waiting for. Emma wanted to laugh but he refrained himself. He straightened his back, walked forward, and picked the rune pen. At once, Emma felt a slight pressure on his mental space but it disappeared immediately.

>>What type of pen do you create? Are you sure you created a rune pen? Lily asked bewildered. She had seen various types of rune pens in her life. But this in her presence was nothing like she had never seen.

'Let find out.'

Emma left the room filled with machines and entered another room. While his gaze never left the pen in his hand. Who would have thought his failure was related to mental power. Now two things are out of the way. Rune Pen and Mental Power.

With his mental capacity, studying rune inscription was as easy as breathing air. Emma had almost memorized all the rune inscriptions in both the Wata journal and the introduction to basic rune creation. There was a rune that was called intent less. That was one of the easy runes for rune apprentices to learn. And that was what Emma was probably trying to do.

Emma stopped in front of a big stable with thick leathers cut into smaller parts. Though he knew the rune by heart. He wouldn't want to waste his time trying to verify he didn't make any mistake when inscribing the rune. The Uglass displayed an intent-less rune and he looked at it for a couple of seconds, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly. He channeled his mental power into the rune pen and the pen glowed slightly. Seeing this, Emma nodded slightly with lips curled upward a bit before he began to write.

Since what Emma was trying to create was without intent, it was not dangerous. It gives him the freedom to experiment as much as he likes. Time wisps by and Emma continues to inscribe like a mad man while muttering some indistinct words.

>>What are you doing? Lily couldn't wait but asked.

'Watch'

>>Watch what?

However, Emma didn't reply as he continued to inscribe runes on the leather. While a bead of sweat hangs on his forehead. The glow in his eyes shines like never before. Anyone seeing Emma wouldn't think twice and say, he has gone nuts. And was precisely Lily's thought.

>>I can't understand what you're trying to achieve here. But with the look of things, this is total nonsense.

'If you say so?'

>>Humph! Your ego is so high that it blinded you to see the path.

'This is not about my ego. Just wait, I know what I'm doing.' With that, Emma continues inscribing.

After so many hours, Emma stopped and took a deep breath. His breathing was in disorder. He looked at the room and was stupefied by the tons of leather skin he had used to inscribe. Truly, I'm behaving like a mad man. He nodded. Without further ado, with a large step, Emma walked out of the room.

Back to the previous room, Emma didn't dilly dally. He picked the electric board pen and began to write a series of equations while drawing a rune inscription on the side of the equation. As he continued in the equation, Lily studied the equation intently and gasped.

>>You must be crazy if you think you can achieve whatever this is you are doing. You can't combine both. Lily shouted.

'Says who?' Emma questioned without stopping for once.

>>Many people had tried this but it was a total failure. You won't be the first to think of this method. But soon, they realized the rune was enough for whatever they wanted to achieve. So, focus on the rune. Nothing is impossible when you master rune inscription.

'Of course, I'm going to master rune inscription. However, I must look for another path. My path. And I don't care if others try this path and don't succeed. But Emma would surely succeed.'

>>I like your confidence but you must be realistic. You've known rune inscription was just for a couple of days. And you've already deviated from the path of rune mastery. How are you going to achieve greatness when you don't give yourself time to study the cruse of rune inscription?

Emma stopped writing for a sec and looked at the ceiling while arranging his thoughts. 'Lily, I know what I'm doing. According to Wata. Though they don't know rune. Their world had enough resources. However, compared to earth. Do you think following the normal path of rune will be easy, hmm?'

Hearing this, Lily was quiet for a couple of seconds before she replied.

>>I understand what you're saying but the path you're trying to take is even more difficult than trying to sense the source in your world.

'How long do you think it would take a normal human being to sense--- no open his mental space. If I am not an anomaly according to you.? It took Wata years while he still concluded they were in tune with mental power. However, humans were tuned for nothing. Just tell me how long?'

Lily was speechless. She knew Emma was right. but she couldn't watch as Emma journeyed in the path of no return. However, she won't accept it.

>>I won't dissuade you anymore. If you try this path and it doesn't work. Please come back to the right path.

'I promise. If I tried this and there is no way. I will surely come and study the rune seriously.'

>>Good! So tell me what you're trying to do. Though I got the idea, I can't understand where it is going to be useful.

'Watch.' Emma returned to his calculation and began to write seriously.

"Zeus, how is the Alpha Orichalcum going?"

[[Everything is going accordingly to your plan.]]

Emma smiled and nodded. "Hmm! What about the energy crystal."

[[I combined 30% of Alpha Orichalcum metal with our normal metal before I was able to successfully cut the energy crystal without losing the energy inside. Though it took me 213 tries.]]

"Oh! The energy crystal is stronger than I expected. So, can I begin the experiment?" He dropped the pen and looked at the bunch of equations written on the board. He tried many combinations before he arrived at this. And he hoped he succeeded in one try.

[[Sir, everything was completed 3 hours ago. You're good to go.]]

He nodded and checked the equation once more. Taking a deep breath, he left the room and entered another section of the facility. The facility was gigantic, containing many sections with various advanced machinery for production. Inside this facility, Emma could produce anything he wanted from the smallest thing to the biggest imaginable. He spent a lot of resources setting up the facility. No one had access to the facility except him. Even Zeus had no access.

Inside the other room, a big robot with eight hands stood lifelessly at the right corner of the room. While some smaller machines were positioned on the center table. Since the whole facility was an automated facility. It was linked together like a spider web.

Entering the room, the lifeless whimpered to life, it turned his cylinder head with big eyes toward Emma. "How may I assist you?" the robot asked.

"Get me the package," Emma commanded.

Immediately, a hidden compartment opened and one of the robot hands picked the material inside the compartment and placed it gently on the table. "Anything else.?" It asked.

Emma ignored the robot and picked one of the machines that had a laser tool. He punched some keys into the machine and looked at the package. There are two things. One was the energy crystal while the other was flat thin like metal but wasn't metal. If other people saw this, they would be bewildered. How? This looked like the material found inside every electronic device. It is the board for everything. Some called it a motherboard. However, the one in front of Emma was different.

Without further ado, Emma used the laser tool to cut a section out of the thin board. Then he dropped the machine, picked up his rune pen. Emma looked at the board for a couple of seconds, taking a breath, controlling his breathing and emotions before he began to inscribe on the board.

Meanwhile, Lily watched Emma in a stupefied manner. Previously, she thought Emma was crazy for thinking in such ways. However, she doesn't think so. 'How can he think of such an indigenous idea? This is crazy.'

Emma was oblivious to Lily's thought, he continued to inscribe slowly on the board. This is not leather skin but metals. Metal with Alpha Orichalcum. The tip of the rune pen glows as he inscribed on the board. The inscription would take a couple of seconds before disappearing inside the metal while leaving only a normal line.

After 2 hours, Emma stopped inscribing. His clothes were drenched in cold sweats. However, he didn't care. He looked at the board in his hand but there was no smile on his face. He picked the board and placed it into another machine immediately.

As Emma placed the board inside the machine, the machine began to work automatically. After a couple of minutes, a beep sound echoed in the quiet room. Hearing this, Emma blinked his eyes, and quickly withdrew the board. Holding the board in his hand, his breathing became erratic.

"Now, the last part remains," Emma murmured.

>>Then hurry up. Don't keep this mama waiting.

With a trembling hand, Emma picked an energy crystal and placed it gently into the small hole at the center of the board.

Whim!
