To prevent this command from being triggered accidentally, I also encrypted it—the self-destruct command can only be activated using a special pheromone solvent made from several rare biological materials.

I made quite a lot of this special pheromone solvent back then. Although I used up a lot of it when destroying some of the more unsightly and inferior test subjects, there should still be some left, and it's in my experimental equipment warehouse—which is right here in these ruins.

Project the map you just drew again, Tia.

"I'll take you to my experimental equipment warehouse. There are quite a few vacuum storage boxes there. As long as they haven't suffered serious damage over the years, the special pheromone solvent can still be used."

"understood."

Without hesitation, Tia activated the magic projection again, projecting the map she had just surveyed.

"Hmm... these geological movements over the years have indeed made my already shattered laboratory even more broken..."

Friggia carefully observed the map projection for a while before smiling gently under the somewhat worried gazes of Valensa and Tia:

"Fortunately, my experimental equipment warehouse is still there, and it's not too far from here."

As she spoke, she pointed to the projection, indicating a location approximately 37 degrees above and slightly above their current position, about 700-800 meters away:

"This is it."

"Walk."

Valensa was a woman of action, and Tia and Friggia didn't hesitate either; they immediately headed towards the experimental equipment warehouse based on the map's directions.

They hadn't gone far when they were blocked by another alloy gate.

Like the door outside the room where Friggia was sealed, this gate is also very sturdy. If the correct way to open it cannot be found, Valensa will probably have to turn into a demon god and bite it open.

With the original owner of the ruins, Friggia, by their side, finding the mechanism to open the door was naturally quite easy.

Unfortunately, after Valensa completed the mechanism according to Friggia's instructions, the alloy gate remained motionless, showing no sign of opening.

"Hmm...it must be that the power line is broken."

Friggia showed no embarrassment, carefully inspected the area around the alloy gate, and then gave this answer.

"Then what should we do? Find another way?"

As she spoke, Tia looked at the map projection again and began to study which way to go around to the nearest point.

"No need... It's been so long, the energy lines in many places are probably damaged. Even if we go around them, it won't make a difference if we don't fix them."

Friggia thought for a moment, then pointed to several nearby walls, ceilings, and floors:

"My laboratory is powered by many energy nodes. You can use your spirit clone to go in, reconnect the broken lines, and then put a few attribute-free magic crystals into the energy nodes. That should do the trick."

"Okay, I'll try."

Tia nodded, chanted a spell, and summoned back more than a dozen of the spirit Tia who were monitoring the movements of the wild beasts on the ground, to serve as repairmen.

This kind of spirit clone that can switch between spirit and physical states is very convenient as a repairman.

They can easily enter any complex mechanical structure to perform repairs, just like ghosts passing through walls. They can also allow Friggia to have a clearer understanding of the energy lines through sensory sharing and magical projection.

Under the guidance of Friggia, a great witch who was knowledgeable in both science and magic, the nearby energy lines were quickly repaired by the spirit Tias.

However, when adding attribute-free magic crystals to the energy nodes, a slight problem arose—the spirit Tia could not carry magic crystals in her spirit form.

Even without Valensa using the power of the evil god, they couldn't penetrate the alloy wall protecting the energy node.

Chapter 89 Solvent Acquired

"Looks like that's the only option we can use."

"Yes, that's the only one we can use."

While Friggia was still tilting her head slightly, trying to figure out a solution, Valensa and Tia had already completed their exchange, like riddle tellers.

"You had a fierce battle with that gorilla, then you were mapping the map, monitoring enemy movements, and repairing energy lines... Your magic power must be running low, right?"

"Hmm, it's time to replenish my mana."

After another two exchanges that showed great understanding, Valensa skillfully removed her armor and unbuttoned her coat.

"Etc., etc……"

Finally, Friggia couldn't stand it anymore:

"You know what? Even in the previous civilization, this kind of despicable riddle-monger behavior was incredibly annoying! And Valencia, why did you suddenly start taking your clothes off?"

"Because we need to replenish Tia's mana."

Valensa explained with a smile:

"Tia's secret technique can link two spatial points together using magic cards, allowing us to fill energy nodes with attribute-less magic crystals."

However, this secret technique consumes a lot of magic power, and it will most likely be needed when repairing other parts of the ruins later, so we need to replenish Tia's magic power first... Ugh.

As she spoke, Valensa had already unbuttoned her shirt and was preparing to take off her bra.

Seeing that Friggia was still staring at her without blinking, she sighed:

"Shouldn't you look away a little, Frieda? Staring at a woman who's already engaged like that isn't ladylike behavior."

"We're all women, what's there to avoid?"

Friggia wasn't embarrassed at all; on the contrary, her eyes widened, and she became even more interested.

"Quickly! Let me see how you replenish mana."

"This...this isn't a good idea...Ouch, gulp!"

Valensa feigned shyness, half-concealing herself.

She wanted to make a few more excuses and pretend to be reserved, but Tia immediately pounced on her and absorbed her bio-energy in a very intense way.

"You...how could you be so bold, Tia? Friggia is watching...oh."

Valensa complained, but her body went limp and she was tackled by Tia, falling against the wall with her buttocks pressed against the ground through her black stockings.

"Stop pretending, you're such a hypocrite."

Tia raised her head and gave Valensa a charmingly glare:

"You get more excited when people are watching you, right? Especially a great beauty like Friggia."

"No, I didn't... uh, gulp~~"

Valensa is still being stubborn, but her actions speak louder than words.

"Fun, fun... This is so fun!"

Friggia showed no shyness whatsoever; instead, as if she had made a delighted new discovery, she staggered to Valensa's side and knelt down.

"You can actually generate this kind of primordial bio-energy within your body... With this, my recovery speed can be at least three... no, five times faster!"

"How about we make a deal? I'll teach you some more powerful spells, and you can share them with me..."

"No!" x2

Valensa and Tia both refused.

However, Tia's refusal was very firm, while Valensa's refusal... sounded very firm.

"Ugh...okay."

Friggia put on a wronged and somewhat regretful look, but secretly gave Valensa a knowing look.

Tia seemed to have noticed, and she snorted in dissatisfaction, pinching Valensa's leg hard while increasing the rate at which she absorbed bio-energy.

Valencia was utterly defeated.

……

After replenishing their mana, Valensa and Tia were both in good condition.

Valensa looked comfortable and satisfied, while Tia was radiant and full of energy.

Once her magic power was sufficient, Tia quickly took out a golden card and, following the wall-penetrating exploration of the spirit Tia, located the energy node, made a spatial link, and filled it with attribute-less magic crystals.

Valensa then activated the mechanism in the same way as before, and this time it went smoothly; the alloy gate blocking her way immediately rose.

The three women continued towards their destination following the 3D map. Along the way, they carried out two more similar energy line repairs and filled energy nodes with attribute-less magic crystals. Finally, they arrived at Friedia's experimental equipment warehouse.

"Tsk, damn it!"

Looking at the mess in front of them, the room was clearly just violently vandalized, and the three women frowned deeply.

"...It must have been that gorilla who did it."

Valensa used the tracking skills she had learned as an adventurer to quickly make a judgment based on the nearby traces:

"It must have landed around here when it fell into the ruins. After that, it searched for a way out in a rather violent manner, and left after finding that there was no other way out in the room, but it caused serious damage."

"As expected of inferior experimental animals! They have no idea how valuable my experimental equipment is! How despicable!"

Frigia was heartbroken and immediately began searching through the ruins:

"I'll give it a try. If it's just about finding a way and not about deliberately causing damage, maybe something will be left behind."

"Ah."

Valensa and Tia nodded, but made no move to help.

In places like experimental equipment warehouses, it's best to let the owner handle the search for items. Outsiders interfering might backfire or even cause unnecessary losses.

While waiting for Friggia to find the special pheromone solvent, Valensa, in order to prevent Tia from discovering that she kept trying to peek at Friggia's black stockings when she bent over, had to let her thoughts wander.

She recalled how Tia had inspected the power lines before.

The skills "Spiritual Avatar" and "Spatial Link" are really very useful.

If one day, the two of them suddenly travel together to a world where there is no fighting and the level of civilization is very high, Tia can make money as an elite repairman by relying on these two skills.

As for myself...

Valensa thought about it for a moment and realized that besides being good-looking and good-looking, she didn't seem to have any other skills... In that kind of world, she could probably only go to the tavern to sell alcohol with a lot of energy.

"Found it! There's another intact one! We're really lucky!"

Lost in thought, Valensa suddenly heard Frieda's surprised voice.

She quickly regained her composure and looked over, only to see that Friggia seemed very tired, sitting panting on a storage box with a transparent test tube the size of a cola can in her hand.

The test tube contained a rather peculiar green liquid, arranged in a double helix.

"……very good."

Friggia examined the potion closely for a few more seconds, her eyes sparkling with excitement:

"This potion still retains at least 80% of its effectiveness, which should be enough... Next, all we need to do is set up a launch beacon, and we can wipe out all those inferior creatures on the ground in one fell swoop!"

"...How long will it take for this beacon to take?"

Tia frowned at this moment:

"Bad news—the Worker-Shell Rat Wild Beasts on the ground have discovered an entrance to a ruin."

Chapter 90 Imaginary Alchemy

"no need to worry."

Friggia remained remarkably calm:

"My laboratory had all its gates opened when it was attacked, and it has undergone more than 1000 years of geological activity. The terrain is so complex that even I would get lost. Even if those inferior experimental creatures find the entrance, it will take them a long time to come down. That will give us enough time to complete the production of the launch beacon."

"...Make?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow at the word:

"Will it be enough time?"

"Of course."

Friggia was very confident, proudly displaying her headlights, which were easily G-class size:

"Perhaps in the eyes of a clergyman like you, miracles are omnipotent... There's nothing wrong with that statement, but it's nothing more than a cheating method by the gods, devoid of any beauty! It's like using a cheat code in a game to get items for yourself!"

In comparison, I still prefer the technology that humans developed through experience, knowledge, and wisdom—alchemy—that enables mortals to achieve near-miracles.

Without suitable equipment, it would take at least 500 hours to manually create a beacon using scientific methods. But with alchemy—given the materials and the correct steps—it only takes 5 minutes.

In fact, the rapid development of various technologies in pre-civilizations only began after alchemy was recognized by the scientific community, with the two complementing each other.
