2173 Charlotte's Gigantic Workshop

.

Charlotte invited us to her workshop, a place I hadn't visited before, which was apparently built while I was dead. It was located in the very center of the Dungeon Continent, where every Dungeon I ever absorbed was fused into a titanic landmass. This area also harbored the Dungeon Labyrinth Tower of Babel that connected Heaven and Earth, it was now upgraded, and was full of Lesser Cosmic Beasts I was going to hunt later to gain some extra Cosmic Treasures.

Nothing hunted inside of my own World Realm gives me EXP though, but their bodies are treasures by themselves, and that can be easily turned into power at the end of the day, so it still really good to hunt them down, especially because I've already sensed they were overflooding the entire Tower.

"Heheh, do you like mommy's starship, mama?" Electra asked while floating in midair above me.

We were currently flying inside a giant starship that Charlotte summoned out of thin air using her Divine Technomancy Summoning Skills and Divine Techniques, coupled with her Path Jewels.

"Yes, it's rather amazing to travel through my vast World Realm in such a way, actually! I could just teleport ourselves there but that wouldn't allow us to see the beautiful scenery~" I smiled, looking through the window. Faylen was sitting at my side, napping while resting her head on my shoulder. Her drool was already covering my clothes a bit. She's so cute and goofy. "Don't talk too loudly or your auntie Faylen is going to wake up, okay? She's very tired."

"Oway~!" Electra whispered cutely, as she sat down on my lap.

We conversed about all kinds of mundane things to pass the time. After roughly half an hour of traveling, we reached our destination. The starship traveled above the skies, as we saw the gigantic and chaotic continent of dungeons, full of all sorts of labyrinths and monsters coming and going from all places.

I even noticed many inhabitants of my own World Realm, from Minor Gods to brave Mortals. I didn't intervene, simply watching. Some were winning, others… Well, dying. It was a continent of dangers where only the bravest came. Probably monster-slaying activity became more prominent among the gods after the Origin System was created too.

Some of them stopped by to wave their hands once they noticed my presence, I waved my hand but said nothing else. I didn't had time to talk to them, I was in a family trip! Well, "family" trip but Loki and Redgaria's families still came along. I don't mind it I guess, they're friends with my daughters and some of my wives.

"And here we are." Charlotte smiled, pointing at a gigantic abyss that opened in the middle of the continent. "This is known as the Dungeon Continent's Abyss. It was once occupied by a swarm of a few million Abyssal Divine Beasts, but I slain them all, including their Boss so I could take over here. Using my powers I quickly constructed a huge, underground area."

The starship slowly descended through the dark depths, which quickly lighted up as many neon and artificial lights activated, illuminating our path to the depths of the continent's underground. The children were gasping and stuck to the windows, looking around, there was still some living beings around.

Mostly giant bugs, flying creatures, and lesser abyssal divine beasts, which Charlotte didn't seem to care about because they didn't bother her.

"Wait, wasn't this area of the Dungeon Continent the most dangerous one?" Asked Agatheina. "I remember some Gods saying it was their goal to ultimately visit the "Center of the Dungeon Continent" to slay the strongest Abyssal Beasts to prove themselves or something…"

"Oh, really? Hahah…" Charlotte laughed a bit. "Well, that's unfortunate for them. I got here before them."

"Sometimes I forget you're strong too, Charlotte." Said Lilith. "You often just craft stuff and never fight."

"W-What? I am strong! I love fighting as well, humph…" Charlotte crossed her arms. "You'll see, once Kireina's break is over, we'll go out and I'll slay any Vampire on our path."

"Oh, that sounds hot, but let's go to the meat and potatoes of the whole deal first." I winked at her.

"Right, let's go." She nodded while smiling confidently. "Welcome to my workshop, everyone."

The futuristic doors of the starship opened wide, as a long metallic, silver-colored stair appeared, guiding us down below and inside a gigantic, wide, and futuristic workshop right below the most dangerous continent of my World Realm.

Neon lights lighted up the entire area, robots of all shapes and sizes moved all matter of materials, both Divine and Cosmic Treasures were being carried on huge silver-colored metallic boxes. There were no entities made of flesh serving Charlotte, they were all her own, robotic creations.

"Charlotte-sama, welcome back." They all greeted her once they saw her. And then they greeted us later. "Welcome back, Charlotte-sama's guests."

"Excuse their rough welcome, they are still learning many things." Charlotte smiled. "I haven't introduced them to you before, but these people are all my family. You've seen Electra before, my daughter. Well, this is Kireina, my beloved wife and Electra's… well, "father", in a way."

"Hi!" I waved my hand, the robots looked at me and analyzed me with their cold eyes.

"Acknowledged. Charlotte-sama's wife has been registered within the database." The automatons nodded.

"Should something happen to me, Kireina has full authority over everything, got it?" Asked Charlotte.

"Understood." They nodded again. "We are happy to see that our creator has a love life. We were worried she only thought about constructing robots."

"H-Hey! Whose AI thought about that?!" Charlotte got slightly embarrassed, blushing a bit.

"Hahaha! I guess they do have some sense of humor!" Laughed Lilith.

"Fufu, they're quite adorable." I giggled. "Don't worry Charlotte, it was a little joke anyways."

"Sigh…" Charlotte nodded. "Anyways, come with me, this is where we'll experiment on the Double Realm Core. I've prepared some special machinery not only capable of absorbing and consuming Cosmic Treasures but producing Cosmic Energy out of it. If we can adapt them to inject this energy into the Realm Core, we could probably hasten the crystal's growth greatly."

"Interesting…"
