Dana quickly arrived within her shadow world, standing opposite the two familiar clones of herself. She closed her eyes, sensing their states, and let out a brief sigh. Unfortunately, they were unable to remain within the world while Dana herself was in the Admin Room. Otherwise, she would have kept them active to recover more. As it stood, neither they nor herself were fully recovered from the big fight against the ‘void god’.

  “At least we’re not going to need to fight urgently, so it should just take a couple days for us to get all patched up.” Clara said with a faint chuckle, though Sienna tilted her head.

  “Digital Conversion, Admin?”

  Both Dana and Clara looked over at Sienna, processing the meaning of her short words. Ever since she had chosen to be the ‘taciturn’ one, she had kept her words as brief as possible to convey her meaning. “You mean we should try to use the Digital Conversion system’s new admin accounts to supplement our recovery?” Dana asked, to which Sienna nodded her head.

  “It’s possible.” Clara mused. “It would be too hectic to do in a fight, but as long as we don’t rush it, we can recover our ki and mana with that system! As for the damage to our spirits… well, we have our own ways of dealing with that.” As she said that, a small grin appeared on her face.

  Dana simply rolled her eyes, nodding. She focused, accessing the Digital Conversion system to create a large number of Mage Heart and Blood Heart crystals, which manifested on the ground in between them. “This should be more than enough.” She nodded her head. While she didn’t make enough to return all three of them to their peak, she made enough that their natural recovery would do the rest soon.

  Clara simply chuckled, picking up one of the red gems first and working to absorb it. “So what kind of project do you want to do, now that the big invasion is over?”

  Dana thought about that for a long moment. “You still have the file for the replicating drone, right?” She asked, to which Clara nodded.

  “Wait, you’re not wanting to make another machine empire in the real world, are you? I don’t think that would work, given that pretty much any alien species was wiped out on V-Day.”

  When Clara said that, Dana shook her head. “No, I don’t want a machine empire. I’ll leave that to the ‘head of research’. Someone’s going to want to check up on him soon, by the way. I was just thinking that you could apply them more actively to Sirius, now that the admin accounts were in place.”

  “While you do that, I want to work on new crafting techniques. Now that Fragments of Acidia was reset, everyone lost the progress that they had in regards to faction quests. We still achieved some advancement from absorbing their technology, but I want to see if I can go beyond what they achieved in the game.”

  Clara let out a faint whistle. “That’s a tall order. You going to do this solo, or?”

  Dana shook her head. “I’m confident in myself, but not that confident. For this one, I planned to visit Tubrock. The two of us together can come up with new crafting ideas. If possible, I would like to advance beyond them when it came to crafting divine armaments, at the very least.”

  “Sienna, I’ve got a mission for you as well.” Dana said, turning to look at Sienna.

  The familiar, meanwhile, simply tilted her head. “Replenish army?”

  “No, you can do that passively. I want you to work on a new type of troop. We know from Thelsa that it’s possible to create gods from the World’s Shadow if the user themselves is a god.”

  “Fallen Shadows?” Sienna asked suddenly, to which Dana nodded.

  “That’s right. I want you to try to make Fallen God shadows. If we have to face another enemy like the void god guy in the future, I want more forces that are specialized at fighting in the void.”

  Sienna simply nodded her head, accepting her mission and clenching her fist in a guts pose. “Leave it to me.”

  I let out a faint sigh after we returned to Olympus, smiling towards Tsubaki. Now that I had at least done a rough check to get an idea of the situation… and resolved a potentially world-ending threat on another front, I had yet more business to take care of.

  “I’ll be returning to the Admin Room briefly. There’s no need to fast-forward, so I’ll be back soon.” I promised, to which Tsubaki nodded her head.

  “In that case, I shall explore Olympus and see if there are any new facilities that have been added.” She said with a respectful bow.

  I nodded my head, focusing on returning to the Admin Room. Once I was there, I sat down on the couch, opening up the guild chat. Most of those who had their own defensive battles to worry about wouldn’t be done yet, but it was still best to check in and let them know that I was finished.

  Stolen novel; please report.

  “Sure enough, it’s not very active right now…”

  My eyes widened when I saw that amount. Fifty thousand points may not be too significant of a number at this point in time for me, but it was still a nice bonus. Especially after I had just set Terra up with her new funds.

  A hundred and ten thousand was a lot… but I felt like it might be worth it, especially after I get the points from Gilded Branch. That information alone would cover nearly half of the bill. More importantly, this would give enough a significant improvement to our foundation when dealing with void beasts.

  I chuckled as I ended the communication, focusing on sending a message to Balu next. It was time to let her know about the information. Hopefully, Sarah was right on her estimate.
