Kyle and Star Genesis went and set up the Formation Arrays. Publicly, Star Genesis said that she would just keep track of Kyle to make sure that he wasn't doing anything against Sect policy.
Naturally, she didn't say that Kyle allowed her to look at his Formation Arrays.
When Kyle showed Star Genesis how some of his Formation Arrays worked, Star Genesis felt like she had entered a land of wonder.
She had always been interested in Formation Arrays, and the things Kyle was showing her were completely new to her.
However, just as expected, there were also some minor things that needed some improvement in Kyle's self-made Formation Arrays.
In terms of power and usage, the Formation Arrays were amazing, but there were things that Kyle hadn't considered since he hadn't built Formation Arrays for someone else.
For example, maintenance. Over the years, some of the Connections would slowly corrode, and they needed to be maintained. If Kyle were here, this wouldn't be an issue since he could just recreate the Connection.
Yet, the Mountain River Sect needed the ability to maintain the Formation Arrays without his presence, and they wouldn't have been able to maintain the Formation Arrays in their current form without deactivating them, which would have broken them.
Luckily, things like these were easy to fix. Kyle just needed to add a Formation Array that could transform raw materials into new Connections. This process wouldn't replace the entire Connection. The worn-down parts would be replaced with new parts, similar to how a body filtered out old cells, replacing them with new ones.
Sadly, even with all of these things, Kyle's Formation Arrays wouldn't be able to remain stable for more than 3,000 years, but that was good enough. Formation Arrays of this level were not supposed to remain stable for tens of thousands of years.
The two of them kept talking animatedly while setting up the Formation Arrays. For the first time, the two of them could actually talk about something they were both interested in.
Apparently, Star Genesis got interested in Formation Arrays when she had been in the Tertiary World. After staying in it for so long without a meaningful way to progress, she had started experimenting with them.
In the Tertiary World, she would have counted as a Formation Engineer. Sadly, the difference in skill between Formation Engineers in a Tertiary World and in the Supreme World was simply too great.
"Maybe, I will look more at how to design Formation Arrays when I'm a Unique Crusher," she said. "It's just unfortunate that I can't focus on them right now."
Star Genesis sighed. "I'm not even sure if I will have any longevity remaining after I comprehend my Complex Level Five Law."
"Yeah," Kyle answered, "I also have to focus more on my Laws. For now, I'm going to sell some more of my Formation Arrays to different Organizations in the Secondary Sector to get some more Karmic Luck, but after that, I will focus on my Laws again."
"What's your plan, by the way?" Star Genesis asked. "Why did you decide to become a public Formation Engineer?"
"Changing my aura," Kyle answered. "If I can get a bunch of Karmic Luck, my aura will change as well. Even more, if my name as a Formation Engineer overshadows my name as a criminal, people won't even think of the possibility that I might be a criminal. Even if they feel my aura is weird."
"Sounds like a good plan," Star Genesis said with a smile as the two of them finished the last Formation Array.
For just a moment, the two of them looked at the finished Formation Arrays.
Their new defenses couldn't be compared to their old ones. The Mountain River Sect hadn't been sure about how much their Formation Arrays would improve with Kyle's help, but they hadn't thought that they would improve by this much!
As the Mountain River Sect heard about their new set of Formation Arrays, they started to become ambitious.
Even though they had been growing and improving over the past centuries, they knew that this was only temporary.
Three of their neighbors had been too powerful to fight, and at some point, those neighbors would attack, even if the Mountain River Sect refused the declaration of battle.
Sure, the enemy Sect would lose between one and three entire levels of Karmic Luck, but it might be worth it.
Yet, with these Formation Arrays, they could try riskier things to further increase their power.
When the Formation Arrays were finished, the Sect Master, Star Genesis, and Kyle met again.
"The Mountain River Sect thanks you for your services," the Sect Master spoke politely. "According to our promise, we will be honest about the origins of our Formation Arrays. Your name will spread across the Secondary Sector."
Kyle nodded. "And what will you say exactly?"
The Sect Master smiled uncomfortably as he realized something. He had just tried to create an example of a sentence he would say to someone who would ask about their Formation Arrays.
Yet, he had realized that he had overlooked something.
The Sect Master chuckled with a bit of embarrassment. "What might your name be, sir?"
Yes, Kyle had never shared his name with the Mountain River Sect. And yet, the Sect Master had said that his name would spread across the Secondary Sector.
The reason why the Sect Master hadn't even paid attention to Kyle's name was that he had never intended to advertise Kyle's skills.
"Azure Comet," Kyle said.
"Thank you, Azure Comet," the Sect Master said. "As I've said earlier, the name of Azure Comet will spread across the Secondary Sector."
'As if,' Kyle thought. 'Nobody will know my name because you will never tell them, but I don't care. Every time you lie to someone, you will lose Karmic Luck, while I will gain some. I won't gain as much as you will lose, but I will still gain quite a bit.'
"That is all I'm asking for," Kyle answered. "Excuse me, but I have other things to do as well. I will not be staying for a chat."
The Sect Master understood, and both parties said their goodbyes.
After Kyle left, the Mountain River Sect started to prepare for a future battle.
When their next set of centennial declarations of battle arrived, they would accept one of them.
They would be fighting an Organization with eight Fulfilled Crushers while they only had four. With the help of their new Formation Arrays, they would be able to close the gap.
Meanwhile, Kyle traveled to a different Organization that was a couple of Planet Systems away. It was important that he wouldn't help any Organization that was anywhere close to the location of a previous client.
Most of the time, Kyle managed to get hired by the Organizations whenever he offered his services. Sadly, some of them still refused his services.
For now, he was still offering his services in exchange for free advertisement or Karmic Luck, but that would change soon.
After Kyle had improved the Formation Arrays of about ten different Organizations, he entered an isolated Planet.
He looked at his Karmic Lines and barely saw any difference.
'For now, my Karmic Luck isn't improving a lot, but it won't remain like that. As soon as my clients enter a war, things will change drastically.'
Then, Kyle looked into his Soul Space.
More specifically, he was looking at the different Gravity Metal Materials. 'I should focus on the Law of Gravity Metal. When I'm done with that, my Karmic Luck should have changed significantly.'
'Wonder what it will look like in a couple of centuries.'
