The Lord of Ashes

The final response Saine received was that the Gallente Federation had managed to gather a total of four God Crystals.

This number wasn't large, but it was the limit of the Gallente Federation's current military manufacturing capabilities.

The last time Saine and the others used a God Crystal was during the war in the central Magic Domain, to blow up the Broken Civilization's interdimensional passage. At that time, the Magic Tide Civilization spent a huge price to purchase one from the Wizarding Civilization.

It was also that same God Crystal that directly blasted off the hand of the Radiant Prophet, Saria, leaving only bare bones.

A weapon that could threaten Supreme-level powerhouses would naturally also have a significant effect on the fleet of the Zeus-class Skrull Empire.

The problem was how to detonate this kind of bomb.

It was, after all, an imperfect technological creation, not as mature as the Endless Light Emission Device.

These four God Crystals were the limit that the Gallente Federation had accumulated in the past ten thousand years, excluding the one traded to the Magic Tide Civilization.

It was fortunate that the Gallente Federation's manufacturing industry had received strong support from the Wizarding Civilization, otherwise, it would have been difficult to even produce these four God Crystals.

To retrieve these four God Crystals, Saine specifically had Bond return to the Material Star Realm to escort them.

But how to maximize the value of these four God Crystals… especially ensuring they accurately achieve the desired explosive effect, was a problem.

……

After receiving Saine's order, Bond immediately returned to the Material Star Realm.

The passage he used was an infinite passage specially created for him by the Magic Tide Civilization, connecting directly to the Gallente Federation.

The Gallente Federation also responded to Saine's orders and requests in a very short time.

Furthermore, to assist in the completion of Saine's battle plan, the Federation personally put forward a candidate who was most suitable for deploying the God Crystals.

— That was a Federation ace pilot named Koki Dogg.

It was said that from the beginning of his achievement as a Five-Star General, one of the training programs he had been conducting for many years was related to the deployment of God Crystals!

Ace pilot Koki was only one of the executors of Saine's upcoming "Doomsday Plan".

Considering that there were three other God Crystals that needed to be placed, he needed other task executors.

The Gallente Federation subsequently gave Saine two more recommended candidates.

As for whether Saine would use them or not, that was his own consideration.

……

Bond, who quickly returned to the Gallente Federation, had fewer than ten people who knew about his movements between the Material Star Realm and the Luminous Retrospect World.

Wearing a pitch-black suit and carrying a magic mirror, he held a square briefcase in his hand.

No one would have imagined that within this small, square black briefcase, there were actually four God Crystals with astonishing explosive power.

These were terrifying things that even an Eighth-Level Dominator would avoid.

And Bond, carrying the black briefcase, was well aware of the weight of his mission.

……

Nothing unexpected happened.

In addition to bringing back four God Crystals from the Material Star Realm, Bond was accompanied by a Five-Star General Koki, and his "Thunder Fighter".

Koki and his Thunder Fighter did not possess Dominator-level combat power.

In this era where Dominators were flying everywhere, breaking the balance, and dimensional battlefields were everywhere.

Koki and his Thunder Fighter, who only possessed recognized Sixth-Level peak combat power, did not seem very eye-catching.

But he was the candidate strongly recommended to Saine by the Gallente Federation!

Even in the priority of candidates for deploying God Crystals, the Federation's recommendation for him was higher than that of Bond, the Dominator-level agent!

"Ace pilot?" While controlling the God of Machines in battle, Saine couldn't help but spare a trace of his mind to pay attention to Bond and his party, who had quickly returned to the Luminous Retrospect World.

After Bond opened the briefcase, the four God Crystals presented emitted an alluring and dangerous light.

As for the choice of users, in addition to the ace pilot in front of him, Saine, after reviewing all the candidate lists, finally focused his attention on three people.

Bond, Robert, and Karl!

As the Federation's strongest agent, Bond's professional skills naturally didn't need to be said, and he himself was a Dominator-level powerhouse.

Robert was the Gallente Federation Dominator-level mecha pilot who piloted the "Dangerous Vagrant". It seemed that during the simulation training in the Gallente Federation, his usual training programs also included the deployment of God Crystals.

Therefore, the other two candidates recommended to Saine by the Gallente Federation were them.

Kryptonian warrior Karl was the last one personally appointed by Saine.

Whether in the Material Star Realm or in the war in the Luminous Retrospect World, Karl, in Saine's impression, was a mature and always reassuring character.

Among the other backup candidates, Bruce Wayne, who had already been promoted to Dominator, and Dao Dali were also good.

However, Bruce Wayne had not been promoted to Dominator for long, and Dao Dali had never played with God Crystals at all; he used a blade.

After thinking about it, Saine still assigned the task of deploying the God Crystals to the above four people.

At the same time, after cross-analysis by the Magic Cube, Skynet, and the Faceless Mask, Saine, who had fought with the Zeus-class Skrull Empire's space-based star destroyers for some time, had found the perfect bombing points.

"The operation to deploy the God Crystals is not to be underestimated."

"And it may also be accompanied by great danger."

"Do you have this awareness?" Saine asked the four people who had secretly appeared in front of his rule projection.

After receiving their affirmative responses, Saine glanced at the most unfamiliar and youngest Koki Dogg among them, and promised him: "If you can perfectly complete this operation, I will guarantee that your Thunder Fighter will be subsequently promoted and modified to Dominator-level!"

"Including you, you will also be the next batch of marshals to be awarded by the Federation!" Saine said.

One of the reasons he agreed to the Gallente Federation's strong recommendation of this task candidate who had not reached the Dominator-level realm was also because he saw the Thunder Fighter that the other party brought to the Luminous Retrospect World.

As the God of Machines, Saine could of course see that the Thunder Fighter piloted by the other party was not simple. This seemed to be a super-precise fighter specially designed by the Gallente Federation for deploying God Crystals.

However, with the Federation's technology tree, the highest achievement in the field of fighters was only the current level.

Dominator-level combat power was not so easy to achieve, just like Bond and other Dominator-level artificial humans; it was difficult to achieve a second example.

To make the Thunder Fighter reach the Dominator-level, only Saine now had this ability!

Faced with the promise of Saine, the leader of the Wizarding Civilization, ace pilot Koki excitedly said: "Yes!"
