“So there are a total of about 200 of these Constructs available for me right now. And they’re all designed into three groups.”
“It’s like a tactical military formation: the warriors, the defenders, and the spies. These Constructs are divided as such…” Ryuk summarized, comprehending before moving on.

“This… this is an army. A battle army… all under my command,” Ryuk muttered disbelievingly under his breath.
[Correct, Host.]
[The Techno Forge Ruin is a War Artifact used to conquer worlds by the ancient Techno Races.]
[There are more fragments like this existing out there in the Universe, and Host has been lucky enough to possess this one.]
[All the Constructs are under Host’s command, and their primary use is battle.]
[Host has just gained an army of his own.]
The system notification flashed as Ryuk’s eyes flashed.
“An Eternity-stage expert, about a total of six Cataclysm experts, a total of twenty-one Dominion experts, fifty-two Ascension Class, and a hundred and twenty Origin Class experts…”
“This… this will be enough to bring ruin upon an entire Endearth-grade…” Ryuk muttered to himself as his hand clenched in his seat.
As unbelievable as it sounded, he now had something to fight his war for him—apart from his pets.
But that wasn’t all the panel had revealed.
[System Protocol: Mass Ascension Drive (M.A.D Protocol)]
Description: A dormant, high-level system within the Technoforge Ruin, locked until specific criteria are met. Once activated, it pushes all awakened Constructs to their next evolutionary tier simultaneously while unlocking other slumbering Constructs.
[Requirements for Activation:]
Nano-Core Reactor
A legendary energy source the Sovereign must find or forge.
Capable of outputting enough quantum pulse to rewire all Constructs at once.
Quantum Synchronization Beacon
Crafted within the Reforge.
Requires two materials that will be revealed once a Nano-Core Reactor is possessed.
Synchronizes all Constructs to the Forge’s AI, allowing simultaneous evolution.
{Consequences and Rewards:
1. Massive energy drain — Techno Forge enters a temporary lockdown during upgrade (24-hour time freeze)
2. All 200 units will ascend one class tier upward.
3. A total of 10 new Eternity-level experts, 30 Cataclysm experts, and 70 Dominion experts will be awakened from slumber.}
“Seems like I can also upgrade all of the individual Constructs’ strength and even unlock more Constructs.”
“I just need two things: a Nano-Core Reactor and a Quantum Synchronization Beacon, huh?” Ryuk muttered to himself.
Both of the words weren’t striking any chord in his head, and he couldn’t help but turn to the system.
“Hey system, any idea what these two are? Can I buy them from the shop?” Ryuk asked.
[System has not much information about both objects, and they are not Techno-related artifacts available for purchase in the shop.]
The system answered as Ryuk’s eyes furrowed before he hung his head.
“I guess I’ll have to find out what those mean by myself. The only person I can think of that might be of help is High Scholar Emiris. But asking him such questions will just make him suspect…”
“But wait.”
“If I’ve taken the Techno Forge Ruin—which was what the 2nd floor of the Gate of Soulless Ruin is—then now, could it mean that there no longer exists a second floor?”
“If there’s no longer a 2nd floor, then what happens to the rest of the students? And if High Scholar Emiris is in charge of the entire realm… wouldn’t he already be aware of its absence?”
Ryuk couldn’t help but utter as he gave one last look at the glitching constructs, deactivating the one he had activated before he instantly removed his consciousness—deactivating the skill—and in the next moment, the world around him dropped as he came to arrive before the surface of the blue sea.
Ryuk exhaled loudly when he arrived back in the real world, as a light flashed in his closed eyes.
“I’ll find a way through this. For now, I’ll focus on what’s right before me…” he said, opening his eyes to the sight of the large sea below him.
And only now could he truly see the sea… and what it was made of.
His eyes flashed in shock.
“This… This!” Ryuk said, choking back on his words as the artificial panel flashed.
[Yes, Host. This is Aetheris Energy—concentrated so much that it formed a sea.]
[Right below Host is a sea of Aetheris Energy and not just any Aetheris Energy—the purest concentration of Aetheris Energy—three times the quality of Aetheris Cultivation in the Silvernic Royal Home!]
“So… this is the mentioned reward. The Soulful Ruin of Niagara,” Ryuk voiced out before instantly he soared down into the sea below.
Immediately, he could feel a cooling energy that instantly snaked through his body, surging into his mental realm even though he hadn’t yet used activated technique.
“This… this is a massive opportunity.”
“Hey system, if I absorb every single drop of the energy present in the sea, what do you think my cultivation level will be at the end?” Ryuk asked, and the system panel appeared.
[If Host absorbs every single drop of Aetheris in this sea, Host’s cultivation will break through the Astral Crowned Realm—the equivalent of the Eternity Stage.]
“Really!?” Ryuk asked in shock, eyes lighting with disbelief.
[Yes. But unfortunately, Host will never be able to absorb every single drop—as there are already Silverunics in this sea who are quietly absorbing, diminishing what Host can gain.]
[Also, it will take about six months of focused absorption to fully consume all of this.]
[I doubt High Scholar Emeris is dumb enough to allow you all stay in here too long.]
