After reaching the maximum level, my "soft rice system" finally arrived.

Against the backdrop of the dark sky, it radiated a magnificent and dreamlike silver luster.

It resembled a silvery-white star.

[Is the color of this metal... mithril? Or star iron?]

A netizen whose real identity is a craftsman posted a comment, which quickly attracted many replies.

You ask me, but who should I ask?

Do you think we look like master blacksmiths?

[Regarding my question in the live chat about whether I had made a mistake regarding professional knowledge about metallurgy]

[Everyone, let's lay it all out. I actually possess a martial soul called the Clear Sky Hammer, and my one-armed blacksmith father also passed down to me a blacksmithing technique called Chaotic Cloak.]

Could you please demonstrate the Blue Silver Entanglement and Buddha's Wrath Lotus techniques upstairs?

I want to see a rain of pear blossom needles and Guanyin's tears.

【Then I'll order one Si Dong Fist, Nian Dong Sword, and Hao Dong Palm...】

Hey, the flavor's mixed up.

We are all from the Tang Clan, living in a world of unparalleled power!

[Holy crap, it's back!]

[Black Tower Bookstore fans, gather!]

This appears to be an alloy made of star iron and refined gold. Its hardness is not particularly outstanding, but its structural stability is extremely high.

These alloys are not only imbued with "ultra-high temperature resistance" enhancement magic, but they are also inscribed with extremely high-level enhancement runes. If I'm not mistaken, they should also be types specialized for high temperatures.

Even when facing the red dragon's breath... no, even at temperatures hundreds or thousands of times higher, this multi-strengthened alloy should maintain a stable structure.

[Are you serious, buddy?]

[I don't understand it, but it sounds impressive.]

[Hehe, the barrage masters are starting up, not afraid of exaggerating their abilities.]

[Um, bro upstairs, take a look at his account verification information—this guy seems to be the patriarch of the dwarven race, the owner of the Molten Core, and a legendary-rank blacksmith master?]

[Retract, retract... Why doesn't the comment section have a retract function?!]

.......

The magical artifact, constructed from silver-white metal rings, immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the live stream.

Even laymen are irresistibly drawn to its dreamlike appearance.

For those in the know, the shock was even more profound.

On each silver-white ring—

The complexity of the engraved magical runes was comparable to that of ordinary legendary items.

These silvery-white rings, if they were to converge into a hollow sphere, would number in the dozens.

And this......

It's merely the materialized form of a forbidden spell.

If it were to be converted into a spellbook, the actual amount of text would probably be equivalent to dozens, or even hundreds, of ordinary forbidden spellbooks.

.......

The shape, composed of metal rings, also prompted some onlookers to make certain associations.

During the previous examination at the Imperial Capital's Advanced Extraordinary Academy—the scene that was circulated, in which Xia Er displayed in the illusion, the fantastical creation he named "Dyson Sphere" is extremely similar to the sphere composed of these silver-white rings at this moment, isn't it?

And it was as if they had guessed what these people were thinking—

Charles's calm words resonated in the ears of every viewer of the live stream.

"Yes."

"This forbidden spell does indeed have many similarities to the Dyson sphere I envisioned."

"However, a true Dyson sphere would need to absorb the entire energy of a whole planet..."

"But what I need to do right now... is not to utilize the existing stars—"

"But——"

"With the wizard's own power—"

"Go and light it, one created by human hands."

"A true star!"

.......

In the live stream's chat list, questions like "What is a star?", "What is a star? What is a Dyson sphere?", and "I don't understand a word His Majesty Charles said" were flashing wildly.

After all, although Xia Er was doing his best to popularize science through the Black Tower Bookstore, there were still many residents of the Western Continent who never cared about these things.

At this moment, these netizens, who are completely clueless, can only rely on a handful of science enthusiasts to provide explanations.

However, in the eyes of those listeners who could truly understand Charles's words...

Charles's words, however, were no different from a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

.......

In the Black Tower branch of the capital city of Aran.

pat-

While visiting the Black Tower branch and having afternoon tea with the head of the Tevis branch, the Cardinal of the Dawn Church suddenly dropped his teacup.

However, the teacup froze in mid-air after falling halfway.

The Lord of Tvesta, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and used "Mage's Hand" to save the teacup from its tragic fate of being shattered into pieces.

"Be careful, this teacup is worth several thousand Imperial Gold Coins!"

Tevis complained reproachfully, only to find the cardinal in front of him staring at the magic crystal screen, his lips trembling.

"Create...create...create...a new...eternal...eternal...eternal..."

"star."

Tevis helped the somewhat stuttering cardinal fill in the word and carefully placed the teacup back on the table.

He could sense the other person's shock at that moment.

In the minds of the people of the Western Continent, a star is synonymous with the sun.

Although the Dawn Church no longer has any religious beliefs, the reverence for the sun is deeply ingrained in the instincts of every resident of the Western Continent.

To create a new sun using human form...

This is simply shaking the cardinal's outdated worldview.

"This... is a bit too absurd, showing a lack of reverence for nature and the world."

"This is completely contrary to the Dawn Church's doctrine of reverence for nature!"

The cardinal spoke in disbelief, then composed himself and picked up his teacup again.

If someone else had uttered such arrogant words, the cardinal would probably have directly rebuked them for their overestimation of their abilities and their unrealistic fantasies.

What can be done?

Live streaming now —

It was that Charles Eguter.

It is the person who once faced countless doubts and skepticism—

Then, through his own achievements, he shattered all the doubts from the outside world in just ten years.

So even if his worldview was completely shaken, the cardinal could only weakly argue a few words.

There's no way around it; I've been proven wrong too many times, so I've learned my lesson now.

Then, Tevez delivered another blow with ease.

"But......"

"It seems your Dawn Saintess has already started showering our Deputy Tower Master's livestream with gifts..."

Snapped--

The teacup, which had narrowly escaped being shattered, ultimately could not escape its fate of breaking into pieces.

.......

Meanwhile, on the other side of the dimension, Xia Er naturally ignored the noise in the live stream.

He simply gazed silently at the metallic creation that drifted quietly in the depths of the sea of ​​stars in the distant sky.

He had been waiting for this moment for far too long...

Charles took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.

In his dark eyes—
