Chapter 892: Working Together
Denise wryly smiled after hearing this. She already knew about this Artificial Human Project from when she heard about it from Vale. As a matter of fact, the Arcane Bureau was also able to obtain such information. However, the Holy City that Odessa had mentioned was something that she couldn't even get close to because Dark Arts Practitioners are prohibited from entering that place, or they would be arrested.
'No wonder the Arcane Bureau had such limited information about them. Perhaps the information they obtained was even faked...' Denise wryly smiled after realizing this.
It wasn't easy to steal such information, and if Dark Arts Practitioners like her tried going to that place, they all have the right to take her as it was their territory, and Dark Arts Practitioners would also do the same to Holy Arts Practitioners if they entered the Dark Lands. "I'll ask Vale about it." Denise replied...
Odessa gently nodded as she understood Denise's concern.
She then approached the table as her eyes scanned the intricate setup in front of her... 'Life Runes?' Odessa thought to herself as she realized why the Time Manipulators weren't dying despite having their organs exposed for a pronged period. She didn't expect that Denise was actually this amazing. It was no wonder why Vale took highly of this young Alchemist. After studying this rune for a few moments, Odessa turned her attention back to Denise.
"I've only heard about your project, Denise. Turning Time Manipulators into Androids... it's revolutionary. How can I assist?"
Denise smiled after hearing about her project. Her eyes gleamed with enthusiasm as she replied.
"Their temporal abilities are fascinating, but integrating them into an android form is proving to be a challenge. I need your knowledge of Rune Arts to stabilize the temporal abilities and your Holy Arts to ensure their souls remain intact during the transformation."
When it comes to Soul Study, there were two Arcane Paths that did them really well. They were the Dark Arts and Holy Arts... Unfortunately, the Dark Arts would most likely corrupt the soul, and that was something that Denise wanted to avoid at this point.
On the other hand, the Holy Arts Faction's method was a lot gentler and could preserve the Souls of other beings a lot better.
Odessa understood this as she immediately nodded. There was also a hint of excitement that could be seen from her face.
"Alright... You wanted my knowledge of Sacred Soul Runes, right? I will take care of it."
Denise nodded at this since Odessa was basically their only chance of obtaining such knowledge regarding these runes.
Together, they worked tirelessly over the past few weeks. Their combined expertise pushed the boundaries of what was previously impossible.
Odessa inscribed intricate runes onto the android shells and the Time Manipulators.
Denise, meanwhile, worked together with Heinz as they adjusted the temporal flow of the Time Manipulator's bodies.
Just like that, the laboratory had become very busy for a long time.

Meanwhile, in a secluded, dimly lit room within the territory of the Church of the Lord of the Secrets, a gentleman sat enjoying his tea.
The room was adorned with dark wood paneling and red curtains, creating an atmosphere of elegance within the place.
The man, with his black hair neatly combed and an attire similar to nobles, exuded an air of sophistication.
His suit was impeccably tailored, complete with a waistcoat, and a pocket watch chain that could also be seen.
Across from him sat a younger woman, her eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
"I didn't expect that you're still alive, Headmaster..." Miya said, her voice tinged with disbelief.
Indeed, the man before her was Headmaster Jean, who was believed to have perished during the Abyss Invasion.
Yet here he was, very much alive and seemingly unscathed by the years that had passed. Miya even grieved the man's death, so she just couldn't accept this.
"The Vermont Academy is already gone... Just call me Jean," he replied, taking a small sip of his tea. He then looked at Miya and smiled with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"I also didn't expect that you'd become the Chaos Alchemist, Maya. I know you're special, but
I didn't expect you would be this talented to this extent."
Miya gently nodded... It wasn't easy to achieve her current achievement.
"It was a difficult path, but I had to do it. The legacy of the Chaos Alchemist is too important to let it fade away."
Jean leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling. His gaze was thoughtful as he took a moment before he replied.
"Indeed. The power you now wield is both a blessing and a curse. But I sense you have a purpose in mind." As Jean said this, he looked at Miya seriously.
Miya's eyes sparkled as she realized that Jean was finally curious about why she decided to meet him...
"I do... Well, I heard from that person about your incredible collection of Immortals... No, to be exact, Celestial Beings... Unfortuantely, most of them are still asleep, and I heard that you've been trying to wake them up."
"Ohh... Is that said by your Head Priest? Or is he called Pontiff?" Jean asked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"It's not important who I heard them from. In any case, their awakening could change the fate of our world. I believe we can work together to achieve this."
Jean raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Awakening the Celestial Beings is no small feat. What makes you think we can succeed where others have failed? Are you confident with the knowledge you obtained from the Chaos Alchemist?"
Jean also had an idea of how to awaken the Celestials. However, it was too difficult. To be honest, the ones he had shown to Vale before were the Celestials who had been killed during his experiments to awaken them.
Furthermore, he had a couple of renowned Alchemists who assisted him at that time.
Miya nodded and leaned forward.
"Yes... Because we have something they didn't. We have the combined knowledge of the Chaos Alchemist and the former Headmaster of Vermont Academy."
