For those of you unfamiliar with Heavenly Jewel Change. It is a Chinese Wuxia web-novel.
You can read it here, it is completed: https://www.wuxiaworld.com/novel/heavenly-jewel-change

The Wiki (May lack information with certain characters but has all the mechanical information we need): https://heavenly-jewel-change.fandom.com/wiki/Heavenly_Jewel_Change_Wiki

Lots of things like place names and people will be OC. so I can run with interesting character ideas.

You play as Zou-Do-Shai, personal bodyguard to the 6th Princess of the Dershwa Clan, and a Teleship Lieutenant for the Dershwa State military. Last time you met Demon Hammer, enlightened the demon in Shan-Bai, developed a hatred of monkeys, got enslaved by a Succubus that was also Jessica, killed Fei. Took part in the massacre of an entire village, broke free after Jessica/Succubus died, revived Fei, when back home. Then started to help Shan-Bai get better. Made a new Ice feature on the edge of Miller. Kreyzar fired his cannon again, destroying the Palace, but thanks to you and Long, it came back. Then you and some others completely shattered and destroyed the cannon on the Moon. When back you were drugged and violated by Jiang. Who has been affected by the Destruction Element, by deleting her inhibition. Fei's Jewels were shattered after the vast majority of the world were sent a message by Kreyzar. You got them back. Jiang is in prison, and you are now going to remove the Ice Ravine you made to get Demon Hammer available to take a trip to Dershwa.

>Go now
>Writing for next post, pictures will come much later when I have finished both of them, it is proving intricate and tricky. My one looks like a nightmare, appropriate I suppose for what she did.

>Go now

"Alright. I'll get a ship ready."

The two of you head over to a different hanger bay. This one has a two-seat jet on it. HE drives, but you make it to Miller in good time.

"Now then, where is that. ah, yes, I see it now."

You see the Ravine, but it has been hollowed out a lot more, you can see blood on the walls, and the occasional monster.

"Now then, buff me, take the wheel and I'll do the work."

You buff his HE, and take the reigns of the jet, thankfully, you have a good control over planes, so you keep it steady.

You see him make an enormous sword made entirely out of flame, blue flame, red, orange, white. Which he throws straight at the ravine. Silver sparks emanating off the impact.

You are blinded for a second, but then see to the desert, that it is gone, leaving some red hot sand, which starts to cool down. Luckily, no-one was around.

The two of you head back home, satisfied you have done the job.

"Well then kid. Remember about that favour. I have a few grudges which I might want help dealing with."

With that, he leaves you alone.

>Go see Shan-Bai for recovery help.

You go to see Shan-Bai, with the event with Kreyzar. She must have seen it too. You find her in the same place, without one of the crutches, and using the walls as a support.

"Ah! Hello! I think if we're going to do this today, then improving my Strength would be the best thing."

"Okay."

You buff her, and watch as she goes from walking to running within a few hours.

"Thank you so much! I think I can get around by myself now...all I need to do is learn how to use my whip..."

You see her summon it, in her small hands.

"I've been seeing the animals over a few days, and they're all softening up to me..but they get scared when I fall, so my balance is the main thing I need to improve on..."

You can see her swinging it around, not much focus or intent in them, but they don't ever reach you.

"Is everything Ok? You look really ill, your face is all pale...with all the help you have provided me....I want to do something for you at least. Please, tell me what's wrong. I will do my best to help!"

As sisters, the Dershwa sisters look alike, but it is especially so for Shan-Bai and Jessica, because of their heights. You can't help but think about it...the only difference is in chest size, but it doesn't matter. The face is similar enough. You can't help but see Jiang with a crystal whip, and it is making you uncomfortable.

"I'm just... reevaluating somethings, lately. Don't worry too much about it, It's nothing much, I'll be fine. How does the whip feel in your hands?"

"Awkward, it was built for the personality who liked making people feel pain...I..uh, don't like that. I would much prefer to use a Bow or Gun, something ranged...I really don't know how I'm meant to get used to this.."

"If you wanna use the whip, how about we spar?"

"Eh? Well...I suppose so...but no Jewels...for either of us! I have 10...so...I don't want to cause that much injury."

"Got it."

The two of you face each other, she is much faster, but you can double your base stats if you want.

>As neither of you have summoned your Jewels, you have base stats. Which for you is 280 for your Physical Stats, and 380 for your Heavenly Energy. It is 860 across the board for Shan-Bai.

keep it basic and do proving attacks, we trying to get her used to a whip, so might as well try to keep it low level.
>>
>>3809537
Our stats are a lot lower than hers, so buff self (without equipment) so we can at least keep up with her. Try to dodge or redirect her hits so she starts putting effort into her attacks, make false openings to control her tempo and try to trip her up so we can hit.

You land a blow to her quite easily, sucking the air out of her, she however, flinches, and her whip sort of lands on you. He strength being the source of the blow.

"Ah! I-I'm sorry."

"That's fine, how about instead I help you go through the basics of fighting? No weapons."

"OK!"

She quite gladly drops the thing.

Hmmm.

You see her excel at anything to do with flexibility, like kicking or stretches, but you have to use your teaching expertise to push her into developing the sense of actually fighting, if you ever flinched in battle, you would have been dead. She does not have the luxury of time, but she must pursue. He punches and battle-sense are not yet honed, and you can see she is just going through the motions, but not teaching.

"Maybe Fei can guide you better, I don't think we are making much progress here."

"O-OK. I. Just. Need. To. Breathe. Phewww."

She sits down, clutching at her heart, you guess she isn't a hundred percent yet, but it isn't like she's disabled.

"I'll see you sometime soon."

"B-bye. Thank you."

You leave then, she can summon water to drink.

Then comes your room, with the distortion. Hell to it! You are staying the night here, be damned if anything stops you. You will kill it like you will Kreyzar! Pride and wrath may be sins, but you let them fill you.

>You have run out of time!

You wake up to the pull of a leg. You see a dog of all things, grabbing it. It must be the middle of the night, how did it get here?

You feel the distortion whirling away. The dog continues to do things to you, it probably wants some food... it's wimpering too. You can't just let it go without anything, can you.

You turn around after grabbing something horrible, what was a dog is now a creature of red skin and flesh, its mouth opens to reveal teeth like tentacles. It "barks" at you.

You throw the food at it as powerfully as you can, it digs a hole straight through it, leaving a Zun Core, and a room.

You finish with your cultivation, and are about to go out for the afternoon, when you get a call.

"Whatever you do, don't look outside!"

It's Demon Hammer. He ends the call there. You also get a knock on your door.

"Hello? Is anything alive in here?"

"Yes, Jessica, me, I am. Is there anything you would like?"

"I want a drink, like, a proper drink, like Zhang had. This evening, you, me, drinks. I get smashed. You get smashed. Sound good?"

You think following your Master's instructions would be best. You think those screams of terror must be him running. Jessica on the other hand....no more drugged drinks, not for a long while you think.

"I don't think so Jessica. I mean. I may be an adult, but, I don't feel like drinking right now."

(*BANG*)

"What was that?! You would refuse your Princess! You little shit! I'll kill you!"

She starts banging on the door, and ever so slightly, you can see it break a little bit every time.

"I can't take it anymore! My body feels so hot! I just want to spend some time with you!"

That's when you hear a crunch, then a thud. You hear a knock on the door. You swear you see your room turn red for a second.

"Kid. It's me. Your Master. I knocked out this thing for you. Damn, 14 and already a playboy. I raised you well!"

"Wha-. That's Jessica! 4th Princess."

"Oh shit! Let me in! I can't be seen hurting Long's kids he'll kill me! Don't worry. You can look. Not at her...she's kinda red."

You let him in, for both of your safeties. You see red marks on Jessica's eyelids....and on her navel and sternum...dear god it happened again!

"Well. Congratulations on the great job with the Ravine. We have some more glass for Chaos stuff, and no more monsters to kill the people and traders. Now then. Long was explaining you had an idea for Kreyzar?"

You keep looking at Jessica. His taint on her body. That night flashes back to you. Again and again. You don't think you can take it anymore.

"Hey...Disciple? You good? It's just a woman. I can get you hundreds in Miller you know?"

You feel something Evil come close, but, you ignore it for now.

"Welp. Don't blame me about this if it works."

You feel a touch on the shoulder, and...

It's a eugenics thing. Kreyzar wants us to make a bun with a Dershwa, and the resulting child will have a daughter with the Demon Hammer's descendant, whose son with Tsushiri's grandchild will have the Creation element.
Kreyzar will destroy the child's soul and shove himself into the body, gaining the almighty power of both creation and destruction.

"Well. Guess I'm waiting. I'll take the girl to Medical. They know how to fix the broken...well, apart from me."

He pisses off finally. Time for some rest.

You finish, confident that with more training, you could make another breakthrough in a month.

You hear a knock on the door.

"Hey! Disciple! Me and the old man are here to talk strategy, open the door."

"Don't worry, if he's asleep we can just punch it down."

There's the King. You open the door, and the three of you sit on the floor.

"Right. I didn't get the chance yesterday. What's your plan for Kreyzar? You said something about Tsushiri but I don't think she's into the whole cooperation and being equals thing...when I get a good idea of what we need the two of us can make a good arguement for her coming here, to meet 2 other Heavenly Gods, and leave her country defenceless."

"Well, I was thinking, many Elements are just mixtures of others right? Nature could be Water and Earth for example. Well. We are in the unique position where all 4 of the Great Elements are in play. What kind of Element could be made if we mixed those? I think it could be something to rival and match the Destruction Element, which is Kreyzar's speciality."

"Shit, that means we need 'Her Highness'.

"Don't swear in front of your Disciple!"

"Sorry. Well. That kind of power could tempt her. All I'm wondering are the logistics. Long, you're smarter than me, what do you think?"

"It would involve the cooperation of 4 different domains, 3 of them Heavenly God. This makes Zou here the lynch-pin. For a lot of reasons. What I think, is if we make a new Element, then the domain would be shared, such that all 4 of the users would have to agree on the same action to proceed. Then of course, none of us will be able to use our original Elements."

"Well, this had better be something special. Do you want to get on the phone or-"

"Yes I do. I will go now. You stay with your Disciple. Maybe teach him something."

The King leaves in a flash, you suspect by time stop.

"Well. I'm with you until Long reports back...what do you wanna do next?"

However, using two Elements at the same time and other things, like making your own skills, is limited to varying levels of Divine Heavenly Energy Control.

You take out the Guard's book, and begin to read, taking in everything it says.

"Kid. what's that? It looks kinda interesting."

"A book on Heavenly Energy Control, and other things you can do with it. All the way to the peak."

"Hmm. I can help you with that as well."

He peers over your shoulder, and takes a good look, then you activate your Saint Element.

"Ah Fuck! What the hell?"

"Huh?"

"Don't do that again jeez it's like the sun just appeared in front of me...anyway. Carry on."

You try to buff your training, and it works!

"What? I thought the Saint Element was healing?"

"Buffing too. I can use it on more abstract things."

Over the next few hours, the two of you work through the book, with your Master's help you make a great breakthrough! You have complete control over your Heavenly Energy in an area. Now you must look inwards, to your soul.

"That's a nice book. Who made it? Some wizard in a cave?"

"A member of the Cursed Forest Hunters. I don't think I'll tell you anything more. They wanted to keep most of this stuff a secret."

"Fair enough. Long isn't back, guess more training!"

You start to have a look at the distortion in your room. You expand your domain into it. Using your Master Level Control to purify it. You succeed! Then you get a knock on your door.

"Heya kiddo! Zhong's back....anything you want to do?"

"Not really. I have done my job for the morning-"

You hear something for you on the alarm system.

"Could the Angel of Death, Zou-Do-Shai, please make your way to the front of the Palace, by the entrance thank you."

You finish getting ready, and open the door to a dismayed Demon Hammer.

"Damn. Well it's that or doing more training with me against the rules. Your choice.

"Really? You think it is that important?"

"It could be someone in need."

The two of you walk to the entrance, with your new domain you feel the Spatial energy stretching the walls out and making more room.

When you get there, you are greeted by someone you have not seen in months. Shimuko.

"Hello young man. Prime Minister of Miller, would you allow us a minute alone?"

"Of course. What can someone like you do to my Disciple."

Shimuko takes you aside.

"I need your help. How many Jewels do you have?"

"Three."

"Right right. I can't get past three and I want to. So buff me, I will buff myself. Something is stopping me from attaining gaseous Heavenly Energy."

"What do I get in return?"

"I-. A favour. If this works I will be the only Zun Stage Saint user in the world! Does that not mean something to you?"

>Buff her

You do as instructed. You see a fourth Elemental Jewel appear. Then you see something else. About 30 people of Sunriser descent all standing behind her as ghostly images. All are of different ages. All are starting daggers at Shimuko.

"Now that's better. Bye! Grats on awakening as a Heavenly Jewel Master!"


She leaves very quickly. Demon Hammer joins you then.

"Well what was that for? Ah well, just come back for some more training."

He knows that Kreyzar got to them, but little of what they did apart from hearing rumours about Jessica going to your room asking for drinks. He does not know how to fix them, and is relying on your help for this.

You get a knock on the door after you finish.

"Please, may we come in?"

"Sure."

It's the King, when you open the door however. Her Highness also walks in.

"You have convinced me. We will do this now."

The 4 of you stand at four corners, as a diamond. You see Tsushiri emit a white-green energy, which spreads out, dominating the space. The King releases a greyish energy, methodical, this clashes with the Divine Element, but settles together. Then Demon Hammer releases a bubbling blood red energy, biting at the air. Then you release your own golden-white energy, which mixes and cancels out the Evil Element, and strengthens the others around it. In the very centre of all this, a blure-white energy sits in the middle. Doing nothing.

"I-I see. What do we do with it?"

"I, as the most experienced Heavenly God here, with my Time Element, say we all agree to do something constructive. Any suggestions?"

"Fuck it. Make some fire."

Demon Hammer ask the new Element to make some fire. You see the others concentrate on this as well.

You feel a massive explosion rocket out. Killing you, then you come back.

"Well. looks like we can make anything we like."

Demon Hammer looks on.

"King. I think we can use this to heal your daughters in prison."

"Right. Shall we go now?"

"No!"

Tsushuri steps in.

"We will not be messing around with something like this until we have full control! That explosion almost killed our Saint user. Imagine what it could do to your kin."

Demon Hammer steps in.

"3/4, democracy says we go."

"Pah! Democracy. There's a reason I gave up on it!"

"Because people can't agree with you unless you have complete control over them? You truly are blind."

"Pch. Where did democracy get you? A nation of sluts and drunks!"

"I call them citizens thank you! Just do this. then we can go tackle Kreyzar, then we can do whatever."

"Fine, but I want a vote for something selfish as well!"

Rolled 2 (1d2)

>Jessica

The guards come instantly to assist. You go see Jessica first. She has been knocked out cold.

"Well, what do we need to make?"

"Control over Demonic desires, or just control over her desires."

The four of you stand at the ready, projecting your respective Elements onto her, and thinking the same thing. You see the red marks on her body disappear.

"One down. Where's the younger one, Jiang was it?"

Demon Hammer asks.

"D-down this way, sir!"

"Any precautions we might need?"

"S-someone will need to h-hold her. She can get very rowdy. One of the men is dead already."

The King picks up there.

"I will do it. She will feel more secure with her father at her side."

The 4 of you progress deeper in. You find that Jiang is...

I am rolling 1d2 for something
>1 is conscious
>2 is unconscious
>>
>>3814546
>Unconscious

Not awake, so the door is opened, and Long holds her in place. You haven't seen her since that morning, so it is very unnerving, but you try to brush it off.

"What do we need?"

"Create an inhibition for her...something a bit weaker than usual."

You see the line of diamonds disappear as the 4 of you create a proper state of mind for her.

She doesn't wake up. The guard suggests that she be left in here just to make sure.

"Of course. We shall tale our leave now."

The three Heavenly God's go. You howver stay behind and tell the guard to put her on some kind of suicide watch.

"May I ask way sir? I need something for the record."

"N-no. Just say it is in the best of her interests as an extra layer of security."

"O-ok."

You leave, and already Tsushiri is going on about stuff.

"Now, if we can create truly anything, then do people have any nice ideas? I myself want to try making some interesting medicines, perhaps one to let the three of us become Heavenly Laws!

"Well. Maybe later. Zou, do you want to try making something?"

"I mean. I do have a specific request, namely that I need like...a human body at the Heavenly King stage, for my Saint Element beast to take over. We also might want personal protection from the Destruction Element..."

"Protection sounds good. Let's do it now."

You manage to make 3, until you run out of Heavenly Energy. Even when boosted.

>Tier 4 Elements cost 8000 HE to use.

They are given to you, the King and Tsushiri receptively. Demon Hammer felt confident enough to not use one for now.

You then use Focused Regeneration to make one more for him, he takes it but doesn't put it on yet.

"Alright. I'll add all this stuff to a list, then meet you all tomorrow. By then Jessica and Jiang could be awake and ready for organising out battle fleet for the Moon."

"Alright."

The King and Tsushiri leave, you and your Master are still together though.

"Guess we could do some training? Or if you want to see someone that's fine. I do want to speak to Long's daughters. I even met Fei! She's a good one, she is. A bit absent minded but strong, I hear she made it too Heavenly Emperor as well."

As you train, you start to talk a bit more, learning about each other, mainly him learning about you, and what you've been doing.

"Well, there's this one DragonKid, one of the girls from the orphanage. She...awakened as a Heavenly Jewel Master and was taken in by the Dragon Lord, but I don't think she's safe there. I want to help her escape."

"Safe? She's in one of the world's safest spots! Even I have to climb that hill."

"No. I mean I think the Dragon Lord is not treating her in the right way. She called me asking about pizza? It doesn't add up."

"True, but good luck with getting her out. That brat Dragon may be weak to me....but to most other people, like you. He is not to be tangled with."

"Would you consider helping me then?"

"Eh...there's political stuff there. Dershwa and Miller are allies. Dragons and Dershwa area allies...but not Miller and Dragons, not yet, and I don't want to do something that compromises that. How many people have you managed to get for help?"

"Me, and one other, a Heavenly Empress."

"My advice would be to get him out of the Palace first, then take this girl. Run as fast as you can, then hope not to die. Dragons are possessive of their stuff after all."

"Thank you. Master."

"Good. I will see you tomorrow! I am here until I am not. Parliament was suspended when I left, so no worries there."

>Rolling 3d100, first for Jiang DC 90, second for Jessica DC 70, third for Kreyzar DC 50, confirmed event for the Great Element crew, more Creation Element stuff, these 3 will be with you until the job has been done.

You wake up and get dressed, walking around until you spot Demon Hammer and the King. Tsushiri is following behind, royal grace instead of speed.

"Heya! Any more things we want to do with this new Element? Long's coined it the Creation Element. He's being really tense about it."

You see him, dark eyes, tunnelling towards you, only looking forward.

OK. Any aesthetic stuff/ mechanic things you want for it? Wings? Horns? Skin colour? You need to be a bit more specific, and of course Bixie will feel better with a tailored body meant for her.

>Make body for Bixie, doing a possess and capture for now.

"Yeah. I want to make a vessel for my-"

"Ah yeah. Well we'll do yours first. Sounds a bit complex. Give us a drawing or something."

Using your dexterity and coordination, you draw something and describe it, it has three pairs of wings, light grey skin, silver hair, blue eyes, the works. You specify that there should be a way to retract the wings.

"Jeez, you've put a bit of thought into this."

The 4 of you start to make the thing, with more experience comes more understanding, so you end up making something to your exact specifications, Heavenly King Stage and all. You summon Bixie into it. then summon her with her new form back into the space.

"Right, well with that. We all have requests. I want to make something that can allow me to use my gift twice on one person!"

Tsushiri takes over.

"I want something to enhance my Element."

The King speaks up.

"I want something to help kill Kreyzar."

"Do we have a plan for him?"

"Amass our forces on the moon, with us at the head, using our Creation Element to cancel out his Destruction Element, and the others can work on killing him. It would help to have a weapon."

"I agree. Any complaints about the suggestions?"

"None."

"No."

"Nah."

"No, sorry."

The 3 others get their stuff, the weapon looks like a gun, and it looks pretty weak, but it is something. Tsushiri takes her time examining her tool, you don't like the look on her face but you are sure something could be done to prevent her abusing her new power. Demon Hammer comes over with a blue and white syringe, apparently a booster for Gift.

"Hey Disciple! You want another gift? I can't use the Skill on myself, and you are right here for testing! No gifts for you two however. Disciple's privilege!"

"I thought you used it on everyone?"

"What? Who told you that! Just shut up and get stronger!"

"Fine. I hope this doesn't leave a scar..."

You see your Elemental Jewels flare up, and a new streak appears in them! Opal, you recognise it from Jessica's Jewels. You have a 7th Element, Light. You aren't exactly sure what it does, but, you can ask Jessica whenever she recovers.

"Oooo. Fancy. What is that the 7th Element? That must be a first. You even have more than that Hunter girl!"

"R-right. What do I do with it?"

"I don't know, try it out! Hey you lot! Cover your eyes!"

You funnel Heavenly Energy into your Jewels, and a wave of glittering light bursts out from you, and stops, making you a human light-bulb.

"Is that it? Well, we'll think about it later. You might need some training, or talking to Long's sisters, they must be awake by now."

The King interrupts.

"Yes, they are awake, the guards just called me. Jiang seems fine...Jessica...I will want to see by myself if at all possible. She's refused to come out of her cell."

"I want to see if Jiang is okay."

"You want me to come?"

"No. This is personal."

"Well in that case I'm going to find Fei. Good luck."

You leave and go to the prison, the guard's say Jiang is in a different room. You go to see her. Heart pounding, what will she do? What will she have remembered? How are you going to act?"

You open the door, Jiang, is on a sofa, with a cup of coffee, she looks up at you quickly, probably wary of any sounds going through the building. She goes completely red, then she drops the mug.

*Crack.*

"Ah. AH. Please. Don't. I'm Sorry. Oh Dao."

Terror is the main thing, she's like a deer caught in a beam of light. Frozen and stuttering.

"Please, say s-something. A-anything! Are you OK? What's happened s-,"

She tries to rephrase her words, but gets tongue tied.

"This was painful for me too you know!"

"I know. I know. Luckily, I also know who was responsible."

Your voice becomes unrecognisable, as anger and resent courses through you.

"You know the Moon? There's only one thing living on it now, and I am going to ensure it can't spend the rest of its life, ruining this! Us!"

"O-Okay! I trust you!"

"I trust you too, come here. I think we need to do this properly."

"Do w-what properly?"

You draw closer and bring her into a hug, this isn't her fault. As much as you keep seeing her face at that night. She was a victim like any other.

"Thank you, Zou. I...have something to tell you though."

"What? At this point anything just goes right through me. Jessica and Fei were affected as well. All I've been doing is helping with the Creation Element."

"That's fine, but, I can feel something....in me."

Oh no.

"You know with the Heavenly Energy Control, you learn to recognise your soul?"

She brings your hand closer to her abdomen, toned, but not muscly.

"I can feel another there. Another soul...I think, that, what we did. You know...completed."

You're excited, but mostly nervous, there are so many things that could go wrong with this.

"I'm 14."

"So am I. I will be 15 when...it happens."

"I'm already fixing everyone else's mess!"

"That's why we have both mum and dad. I can be here for you, and this. We're in this together...I can't bear to do anything to it. Even with what happened..."

"Maybe it's more than one."

"Maybe its a boy and a girl?"

"It's wartime! Can you even fight? Train?"

"For a little while, then, I could be putting it in danger."

"I'm gonna be a Father."

"Yes you are. We might have to keep it a secret from dad, but I have you to protect me."

"I. I've had some experience with stuff like this. The orphanage always needed an extra hand....I can do this. I will do this. We will do this. Together!"

"Um!"

You spend a few more minutes just standing there together. Jiang speaks up.

"So, does this mean we can share the same bed?"

"Probably, just don't get caught."

"Fei won't mind, Jessica will just tease me about it...Shian keeps to herself. Sun-Di will just let it go on, maybe just asking the question. Shan-Bai....she's very traditional, compared to her previous life. She might complain a bit."

"What about your Mum?"

"Grandkids, what joy! She's been pushing me for marriage ever since you arrived, we are both technically adults after all."

"Huh. We may have to wait on that. I need to kill a guy."

"Don't mention stuff like that here. Talk about good things with me from now on."

"Right. Well...actually."

"Really?"

"You need some personal protection from the Destruction Element, now more than ever, take this."

You give her the amulet you and the others made yesterday.

"O-OK. This will protect the baby too?"

"I hope to the Heavenly Law it does."

You leave with her back to your room, Demon Hammer is no where to be seen, or maybe he just went to spar with Fei and overestimated himself. You have a two person bed because luxury, so the two of you fit perfectly.

You wake up to find that Jiang woke up earlier than you, dressed. Mainly worried about escaping this room without being spotted, when you hear a commotion at the door.

"Huh? What're you doing here?"

"Seeing my friend. Thank you."

"Your friend is my Disciple!"

"Some Master you are! You knocked me out!"

"Pah! You needed that!"

Jiang looks at you.

"Where do I go? She whispers.

You use Dimensional Swap instantly with a rock outside. She's shocked, but out of the room.

You open the door. You see Jessica and Demon Hammer arguing.

"Ah! You!"

"Sup buddy. Where's Jiang?"

"Psh. Zou, listen to your Master, we have a job to do."

"Hang on a minute! I want to talk to you before that! Not like last time. Something a bit more important."

"Two things. Firstly, sorry about the drinks, I know you and Jiang are closer now. Yeah, uh. When your office is connected to everything then you see and hear a lot of stuff. Secondly. Grats on the new Element. Light is mostly user support. Think like making light, invisibility, making fireworks and illusions. Then you can attack with high power laser beams. I have some monsters in stock I can unfreeze for your Skills, up to about 9 Stars."

"Do-Do you know about-"

"Yes. I know about the kid, congrats. You have the Elements to keep it or its alive at least. Imma go make fun of Jiang later, she's fucking almost a century younger than me and is having kids! I mean. I've had a lot of sex in my time, but wew.Pregnant on the first time? That must fucking suck, she's gonna have around 3 weeks where the two of you can do it and that's that. She's gonna get even more emotional. She won't want to be around you. She will lose interest in sex, or not, some people are into that."

"Stop. Please stop."

"Oh what is daddy getting embarrassed? Oh you poor thing!"

She's still giggling as you walk away. She's back to normal at least.

You find Demon Hammer in a specialised cultivation room, of course, your cultivation technique prevents you from fully using it, bit you will manage.

"Zou wants to make something, anyone else? I've got something too."

Tsushiri says she is satisfied. Long however draws out a piece of paper, with something like a mirror on it.

"Just a little project of mine. Nothing too big. What do you want to make?"

"Something to make my buff a little more permanent."

Tsushiri speaks up.

So you make some mirror with the others, something for the King's Time Element. Demon Hammer makes something for his Evil Element, but you aren't sure what. You get an amulet for yourself. The others are spread amongst the Dershwa Clan. Thanks to the chagrin of Demon Hammer, democracy not working out for him.

>>3822278
How about two or even three slashes with a charged shot?
>>
>>3822278
i think the craged shot is the idea we can store HE on it for later, like in hte morning drop all our HE into it and still have it there at the afternoon
>>
>>3822278
For Razorblade Tornado, well, it was the best way to describe it. A lingering lacerating effect on the target with random trajectories? And by Charged Shot I was thinking about something like manifesting the Slash before the battle, store it, and accumulate HE in it according with our natural regen to make it grow (with a limit? without? Are we ready for Anti-Galaxy Heavenly Slash?) or a way to store several slashes beforehand and release them without spending HE or being obvious about it.
>>
>>3822290
Stored Slash might be a better name but yeah thats what i imagined, for the razorblade one i guess its basically having part of the HE cling to the target and keep cutting them constantly, basically adding a DoT effect apart fromt eh poison effect being added as well

You train your most powerful Skill, and already, with small amounts of Heavenly Energy, you can see it becoming something terrifying.

You go back to your room and Jiang is already asleep. You decide to not wake her up, maybe her pregnancy is causing it.

>You have run out time!

>Start of the 96th day

Jiang wakes you up. You sleep a lot more than her huh.

"Jessica set me up with something, so you don't have to teleport me...she can be really mean sometimes! She kept making comments about it, and how fat I was going to get! She's a hag, but she dare talk to me like that. I'll give her what for!"

"Don't, she has the Jewels to absorb so much damage."

"Hmph. Coward."

*Knock Knock*

Jiang disappears in a pop.

"Just a minute!"

"Fuck's sake lad, you tell us to join you for Creation stuff and you just ghost us? Poor etiquette!"

Dammit. there's always something.

"Any takers this time?"

"I have one," The King says."

"Funny enough, so do I."

"Me as well, glasses to see souls."

Demon Hammer speaks first.

"I want something to strengthen my dominance over my summons."

All three of you have no qualms with this.

"I would like a vessel for the Time Element and a weapon to go with it."

No problems there either.

"As I said earlier. Soul glasses."

Demon Hammer and the King agree, but Tsushiri has a question.

"I was told you needed a body to resurrect someone, has that changed?"

"Yes. Do any of you have loved ones you miss? I can bring them back if they are here."

The King says no, he is satisfied with the people he has. Dragging people from Heaven isn't his style.

Demon Hammer says yes though.

"When I was really young I was partying it up with some good friends of mine. One drinking contest later and they were gone. Not sure if they would like being brought back into this world though...just do it I can always euthanize them."

Well. Tsushiri looks a bit hesitant, but eventually speaks up.

"I. Yes. I do, but I wish to talk about it in private."

"Certainly."

The four of you cooperate to make the things. You end up with some sunglasses.

"Nice! Angel of Cool, Disciple."

The King speaks up.

"How old are you? 500? You're too old to be cool."

"At least I don't look thirty forever."

"You look like a river of blood, not much better."

"You mean, I look bad-ass? Why yes I think I do! Hey Goddess! You look a bit shell-shocked. What get you down? I can smell you fear."

"Mind your own business. Demon."

"Hammer."

They could bicker forever, but you decide to follow Demon Hammer's request and look around him. There stand three people. An older man and woman, and a girl who could pass for 16 with bright neon pink hair, and peach eyes. She looks at Demon Hammer with something like regret, but she is so distracted by him that she doesn't notice your presence. The two older ones do however, and wave. You wave back.

"Why're you waving, crazy kid. Has your Element made you mad?"

"I can see them...your friends, the people you knew."

"Ahahaa. W-what? Nah. I'm despicable. , no-one would care."

"Two older people, the woman has red hair. The man has like a neon silver?"

"Oh."

"Then there's this girl with pink-"

"Be quiet, that's an order."

You shut up.

"Sorry. I t-think I need a minute."

He walks away. The King talks next.

"Please report to the 4th hanger this evening, please, don't skip like last night."

He leaves too. Leaving Tsushiri alone with you...well, the cameras are there.

"Who can you see?" She is stone-faced as always, but you can feel the sin of fear creeping in, not a normal fear, but a horrible fear of something more primal.

You see three people, one is a young man, a bit short but built like a bear. Another is a different man, a bit older, but is missing his left arm and eye. Both of them stare at her with contempt. The last one...looks like a much younger Tsushiri, but...smiling? She stays close to her at all times though she sometimes looks at bit sad. All three have black hair and eyes. They are Sunrisers through and through.

"Three Sunrisers. Two males, one female. The first male is short but well-built, the second one is missing an arm. Neither seem to harbour any nice feeling for you. The female... looks like I'd imagine you as a teenager."

"T-teenager?"

"Yes."

"B-but that, that! She was only a small girl!"

You see the first bit of emotion in her. You can feel it. Unrelenting sadness and regret.

"No! That can't be true!"

You see the younger one hold tighter with her spectral form. The sensation will never get through. You hear some words from her, your Heavenly Energy activating without your control. .

"I don't blame you. Tsu. I am here for you."

Tsushiri summons her Jewels, the Divine Element covering her. What was a massive show of sadness disappears. Followed by...nothing.

"Thank you for a demonstration of your power. The two men were tools. I do not wish to see them again. The girl is unimportant. Do not speak of her again."

You see Coordination Jewels on her right wrist. However, she charges off in a flash. Something to do with the Divine Element you bet.

You are alone. You remember Demon Hammer wanted a minute, maybe it is time to go see him.

You sense for sin, and find something alright. You find Demon Hammer sitting on a bench, not really doing much, just thinking.

"Ah. Hey kid. How was Tsushiri?"

"Not great...I don't think she took the news well."

"I haven't either. The old man and woman, let them be. Mum and Dad you know. I don't think I can bear seeing them again. Evil Element is great for everything but your dignity....I last saw them after going on a murderous rampage in my demon form when I hit the Zun Stage. They weren't impressed."

"And the girl?"

"One of those friends, name's Sally. My name's an anomaly. It sounds foreign to the people in Miller, so they call me Demon Hammer instead. Yet, she and a few others...didn't give a shit. They new that I had some Dershwa heritage, but cared little. Sally...is she here now?"

"Yes."

"She was the closet to me. Don't do drugs, well, not too many. Alcohol is all fun and games until you all beat each other then most of you die of alcohol poisoning."

"I can bring her back if you want?"

"Ah screw it! Why not?! She has a fun cultivation too!"

"Which is?"

"Ah well, she and I cultivated through the laws, as in, the closest the mind could get to the Dao. This sometimes results in rare or unique Elements. I got Evil. She got Love. Fucking. Love. Her Jewels are pink and everything! Just don't look at her directly. You'll be fine."

You walk over to the girl, and use the Skill. In the ghosts place, a person appears.

"Sally?"

"Zhong? What? You can hear me? I-AH! Oh god I have flesh. Help! Help!"

Demon Hammer is ignoring all of this, and is crying his eyes out.

"Ah! Oaf! Let go! You aren't dead too you can't touch me!"

"You aren't dead you fool! My Disciple brought you back!"

"That's bullshit!"

"That's kinda the idea. Zou...just leave us for a bit.Please."

You are basically forced out of the conversation, and back into the Palace with a strong push.

You look around the halls with your new specs. You see a huge number of people...some of which you recognise from the mass-grave. This is proving to be a bit dark, namely that all of the souls are banging on the walls, wailing about something. You see maybe one person who isn't, but he ignores you anyway, walking to the main army barracks, at least someone has purpose in this place. You have no idea who might be good for resurrection, as there are so many souls that they kind of blend into one mass. Sometimes you see real people in the midst just walk through them. They look at you funny, sunglasses indoors?

In any case. Most of them will be Jewel Masters due to the nature of the work. You think it was useful to do this, but if you want a better idea of who to resurrect, then you need information. These people mean nothing to you. They could speak a different language! It is safer to leave them as is. Now then, the King told you to meet in the hanger this evening, hopefully Demon Hammer shows up.

>Choice LOCKED because there's nothing in the way

You make your way to the Hanger, and spot the suited forms of Demon Hammer and Tsushiri. In space gear. You see tiny spots where either Gold Diamond or Beryl are added in. Tsushiri begins first.

"Hello boy. If you want your suit then go find the King."

You do so. He is not far away, in fact he is changing into his own set. You take your time, as there are about 6 different layers, ending in the over suit. There are strands of Rainbow Moonstone all through it.

"Well then. As we are all here. This is a test session, mainly for our ship and suit combo. However we have one main problem. Even with all this technology, the Life Element will need to be supplied for certain functions with our spiritual anatomy. Also. A Teleship will be used. So..we have Life Element batteries...but not Spatial, the Element itself is finicky. You can't store it, only use it. Jessica had a nightmare figuring it all out. So that means our Life support and transport will rely on Zou. Unless we opt for a normal ship, which will take three days and as we get nearer, will need constant Creation Element protection. This is impossible for a number of reasons, so, Teleship it is."

The 4 of you begin to work together with wires and tubes, and the strategies of working together on the ground and on the ship. You use your Spacial Element to try and simulate low gravity, which you are told by Tsushiri is 1/6th of this planets "pull" to the ground. You haven't learnt much science, but you get the basic idea at least.

The three of you do well together, mainly in your communication, through hand signals and other ways of communication. However, placement and moving as a group becomes more difficult stemming from your weakness compared to them and how reliant they are on you and the Spatial Element. This means that when performing attacks there is some discourse, as melee attacks sometimes need good physical support, and with you supplying the Life Element, managing the blow-back even in low gravity is hard, miniature shock-waves pushing you all back in a time none of you are prepared for.

There is a call to stop, which is agreed by everyone. You cancel your effect on gravity and let everyone fall slowly back to the ground.

"Well. How much Heavenly Energy did that use?"

"Not too much. It should be negligible for the final battle."

The King steps in.

"I suggest we do another one of these soon. All in favour raise your hands and we can organise something for tomorrow evening."

The 4 of you agree on this, but there is one last message.

"I also have news that a few people are suffering from the effects of the Destruction Element. So our priority from now on will be to make more protection and kill Kreyzar as soon as possible. He can somehow know our personal circumstances, we gained this information from said sufferers, so be warned that those you hold dear who are not protected could be effected. Please tell us names of said people and they will be prioritised. We can make 10 amulets in at one point, 6 have been reserved for the next batch. leaving 4 people."

Demon Hammer steps in.

"I need 3, one for...someone, one for my second-in-command and one for a foreign ally to Miller."

"Who?"

"The...the Nuclear Clan leader across the ocean, I mean, with her power...there could be some really bad opportunity with her Element."

"Agreed, dibs for 3. Zou will have next pick being a member of staff here."

"Sorry? I'm a Monarch too."

"Do you hold any attachment at all?"

"No." Again, you use your sin detection abilities to feel her lie, she is lying to herself.

"Then leave it."

>Write-in for someone who you think will need protection from the Demon Element. Depending on who it is it could take 1 day to a week for the amulet to arrive.

>>
>>3825753
I will be taking this vote if no-one shows up for 10 minutes.

>>3825755
Well, yes, but as a Disciple connected to the Dragon Lord...all her packages, especially those coming from a foreign country will be suspect to inspection, and what do you know there are Spatial Element Dragonpeople who can inspect for things not stated on the original post form.

>>3825758
Yes, the 3 people with you won't give a damn, this is one kid who they have no connection to, even Long, who has no time to care. It's on the receiving end where there could be a problem. To specify, do you wish to send something that allows her to teleport or something that allows you to teleport her?
>>
>>3825763
Would it be an issue if the protection necklace we send her also lets her teleport? if so could we give it something related to soul sight that would let us detect it from far away enough to pinpoint teleport to it?
>>
>>3825766
That would be an issue yes. Mainly because something like that will need to use the owners Heavenly Energy to activate, not the makers. In effect, She still has not got her 2nd pair of Jewels and has 200 HE. She wouldn't have enough HE to use either function. If you want to send a Heavenly Energy battery you can do so for the soul seeing stuff/ soul beacon, but not the teleport, for reasons stated earlier.

I suggest moving forward you propose a modular amulet. However Spatial stuff will have to be funded by the user, not a battery.

>YianEyue

Writing now.
>>
>>3825766
Or! We could get Dimensional Swap a Delayed Effect Mod (mark object X, then, within a certain timeframe, mark object y, then the two will swap), make 2 Protection Amulets, go to the Dragon Palace, give an amulet to the Old Lizard and one to TianEyue, mark the kid, go back home, mark a rock or whatever, then, bam! Kidnapping done. If we want to be sure we can get her back, we can also mark something at Dragon Palace during the visit and organize a round trip.
>>
>>3825780
well would the soul beacon be something only we can see given our soul perception deal? im mostly trying to think of how to sneak either an escape hatch for her or a pinpoint method so we can teleport in and get her out
>>
>>3825781
the amulets are being shipped to them, we arent the ones going to deliver them
>>
>>3825790
Yes, and going to the place in person would be frowned upon because of the whole Kreyzar situation. A letter would be the safest way to contact her. The Dragon Lord would care little about the letter unless it was pointed out to him by the postal staff.
>>3825786
You would be the only one able to see it yes.

"YianEyue."

"Ah, you mean the girl sent with the Dragon Lord? I have no particular objections. I suggest you write a letter for her as well, it has been weeks since the two of you must have talked."

Demon Hammer interrupts.

"Give her a knife. Girls's always like knives."

"Maybe not. Zhong do you need a rest?"

"Yes. Sorry mate. I have about 380 years to catch up on."

"Sorry?"

"You heard me."

He walks off, his business done. Probably going back to Sally.

The King leaves. His duties in hand.

Tsushiri walks up to you.

"I have a request. You saw the girl yes? Is she still near me?"

"Yes."

"Bring her back. She is my....sister. Twin. Do you need information to continue?"

"No, just be prepared to see her again. Would you like me to leave as soon as the job is done?"

"No. You could buff her resistance to my Element, can you see any Jewels?"

"No, but most people are like that."

You use the Skill, the rainbow cross glowing on your hands, where you hold it out to the ghost, she clasps onto it, and she appears in the same way Sally did. You see 8 pairs of Jewels, Beryl and Waxy Jade.

Tsushiri just stands stock still, the other one not saying anything, just continuing to hold on to Tsushiri.

You decide to leave the two alone, as not only being around 2 Divine users will be bad, but giving Tsushiri some room to be herself would be better.

>>3829271
Oh, I actually thought the original range limitation of Dimensional Swap (can only swap within the limit of the field of sight) still applied. Delayed Teleport would mean to set up a teleportation chain, freeze it, then have it happened at a later time. Like, at an exchange, you exchange an item, then get what you want, then the other guy checks the things you gave him a day later, and bam! It's a phantom thief's calling card or whatever.
>>
>>3829271
i guess in that case could we add a stealth feature to the object marking so it cant be detected by anyone other than us, and the ability to let people trigger the teleportation on their own if the marker is placed on them?
>>
>>3829279
wouldnt the marker already do that better? just make the marker undetectable and you are set, delayed seems unnecessary
>>
OK, so delayed teleport is a go, you can preset a swap and hold it, but you can't use the skill again until said swap has completed or been cancelled, marking for a swap will work like this: you can mark an object for swapping, then mark a second one and they will swap, this can be used in conjunction with delayed swap. However, you can only have one inactive mark at one time. Gimme a min to set this all up. I'll assume multiple swap is just you can make more than one swap at a time.

She ends the call, this wouldn't be a problem if you didn't get another call.

You reach the Hanger to find a much looser Demon Hammer talking with the King. Tsushiri is there as well, but her mind is elsewhere. More importantly, you can feel guilt from her, emotion! Maybe the two Divine domains interacted in such a way to cancel some of the effects out?

The 4 of you get ready inside some kind of cylindrical chamber, of which you can sense the machinery which will send this room spinning around in a circle, you suppose in this way, artificial pull can be generated? You are not sure. After this you might want to take some classes.

"Zou, have you written that letter yet?"

"No, but I will make sure to do it tomorrow."

"Understood. Is everyone ready?"

"Yes."

"Sure."

"Certainly."

"Zhang! If you aren't dead yet do your magic!"

"Commeeenncing, commencing operrration."

You hear a very pronounced slur in his voice. Then you feel the pull, perhaps using some Spatial Element, the pull is always even, it is uncomfortable, but like last time you begin floating.

>What exactly is Dragon Sis situation?

The Dragon Lord has been training her under the presumption she thinks like a Dragon, like him, and that she can take more training because of her Endurance. This is not the case. Every day she collects more and more bruises, injuries, and mental scarring from being treated like dirt by the man she thought would show her who she is. The Dragon Lord sees these as merely a phase, yet there will be a breaking point, she will take any way out of the hell she is being put through. Similar to Jiang when she was first trained, her Master is too powerful to properly make her strong and she is suffering because of it. The Dragon Lord can just use his Life Element to heal her and he thinks it's okay, she is all better. She is not obviously.

This will continue to happen until all that YianEyue was will disappear in favour of a prideful and impatient DragonWoman, ready for the inter-country tournament and a strong fighter groomed by the Dragon Lord. She will have forgotten about you by then if you do not make contact.

Cultivators have two different aspects to care for, their physical anatomy, and their spiritual anatomy. You can understand their spiritual anatomy well, using your Heavenly Energy Control to sense it all happening. However, without much medical training you struggle to heal their exhaustion initially, but through careful observation you start to gain an appreciation of the medical function of each piece, the function and workings of the intestines, the lungs, the heart. You begin by strengthening the heart and then watch how the blood-flow to the intestines increases in heat and energy density. Now you know why the dantian is placed there at least. Each person is different, and you notice that there are pieces of flesh present in your Master and the King that are not present in Tsushiri, tendons you remember Shimuko mentioned one time they were called. She instead supplies the movement entirely using Heavenly Energy.

The session ends well, with some more combat training lasting longer than last time because of the Life Element.

"Zhang! Turn it off!"

You feel the room slow down to a halt Your bran is not doing so well, blood rushing to it. but you do see Zhang trudging away from his post, bottle of the stuff you helped make him in hand.

"How about we go for a trip? The places close to the Palace shouldn't be affected by martial law as much, and I can make us look different too."

"Sounds great! Let me get dressed. When you say disguises.."

"I don't really know, can't we just turn up?"

"Haha, no. We will need a reservation if we plan to be normal customers."

"Then something middle of the road, or did you have something in mind?"

"Well...I hear that with the alliance with Miller, the embassy have set up a market place where they sell stuff from Miller! It will be expensive...but you have the money right?"

"20000 Gold."

"Okay! You should be getting your salary soon, so don't spend more than 250 Gold."

"Really? Can't I treat you?"

"Well, from Miller's perspective, some random comes in and spends the equivalent of 5 years top of the line salary....well, be careful."

"Got it."

The two of you leave with no issue, and you use your Light Element to look like some noble couple enjoying a day together. You find the place near to a Daoist church of all things. It looks like a cafe, but you can sense a huge underground.

"Hello, sir and madam, this is the regional Miller Cafe, how may we help?"

Jiang steps in.

"Oh we just want to look for a minute. Thank you!"

She tears off, excited. You remember how she said that she loved exploring when Fei would bring her pictures of places, so you leave her to take it at her own pace.

"Jewels sir?"

You show him 4 Elemental Jewels with the Saint, Life and Lightning Element.

"Understood, Rank?"

"Lieutenant."

He shows 6 Physical Jewels.

"Commander myself. Be on your guard. As much as we appreciate those associated with the Dershwa Clan, this is still a military base. Please keep aware that we could be under attack by the Moon at any point. We thank you for your consideration."

You are about to head in after him, when you get a call.

"H-hey buddy. I need to talk. Where the hell are you?"

It's Jessica.

"In town? I'm with someone else."

"Well, you need to come back. Now. Unless it's drastic. Zhang is dead and Shan-Bai is....relapsing."

"What? Relapsing?"

"Well...her muscles and brain have atrophied. She's in bed now...but it's like...she's given up. Just get here now! Zhang...I need to talk later. Busy busy here."

She ends the call.

"Anything wrong sir?"

"Maybe, do you mind telling me where a good place to make calls would be?"

"In the church, despite our differences they have been cooperating with us."

>Call Jiang and teleport

You make a call to Jiang when inside.

"Hm? Who is it?"

"Jiang, there's been a problem back at the Palace. I need to be there."

"Really?! Fine, wait there and I'll come back with you."

You see Jiang on the communicator when she rushes out of the Cafe, apologising to the man who welcomed her in. You activate Dimensional Swap and swap her with something you know the location of, them you swap yourself. You find yourself in the canteen connected to the Skill training room, onlookers a bit miffed at the random person standing on the tables.

"Where is Shan-Baii?"

"Ask one of the doctors, the Princess is still in rehab as far as I know, what's the rush?"

"Confidential."

You use your Wind Element to propel yourself forward and reach Medical. The people there recognise you and escort you to Shan-Bai. You see a very thin version of her, barely hanging on to a thread of life. You see the doctors use all kinds of skills on her, but they disappear on contact. You see red marks on her knees and can feel stress from her heart using your Life Element to probe, even your Element doesn't fix any of the stress through, but you see the diamond marks of the Destruction Element on the top of her head after a quick physical examination.

You see Jiang arrive soon after. Noticeably she is shocked by this development, but you also notice that one of the Junior Doctors, with 5 Life and Light Elemental Jewels has a double take when she enters the room, no matter.

You call the King and tell him you recognise the symptoms of the Destruction Element. However, when the 4 of you get there, there is some confusion.

"What do we think was destroyed?"

"Jessica said she had just given up, so maybe her drive?"

"Let's try it."

The four of you begin, namely by using the Creation Element to make her drive, as her father knew it, and stuff it into her soul. However, it is rejected, you use your Saint Element to see that her drive is still there.

"Any other ideas?"

"Why not. Again."

The 4 of you stand around and make some level of determination, which you know that Shan-Bai has in spades, there is a weird clunk as it slips into place, but it fits....the red markings fade a bit, but are still present. You are not sure how to destroy the things you have made, so this could be a really bad mistake.

"I suggest we leave it for now and wait for her to wake up, we're getting nowhere."

"Agreed."

"Certainly."

Demon Hammer leaves. Jiang stays with her sister. Every so often she turns back to you, but with both Tsushiri and her father in the same room it proves to much to bear and she leaves to.

Both the King and Tsushiri leave, discussing other solutions. There is one more thing to do. Jessica walks in.

"You come with me, now."

She drags you, willingly you might add to a rather large room filled with monitors, some showing statistics, others showing footage. She takes you to one showing Zhang's office, he is seen drinking the last of the alcohol you helped make....then suddenly. he just disappears.

"Now, yes that's all worrying, but there's something else. Let me slow it down."

She takes it frame by frame, until there is a shot of the diamond red markings all over his face, then in the next frame, he's gone.

"Now, from. from what we have seen so far, I, I have seen people survive the Destruction Element, but, not this time! He just pooffed! Dammit Zou. Either

" I need a soul to revive him and I'm not seeing anything."

"You're wearing shades dumb-ass you can't see more than 100 feet in front of you!"

Impatient as always.

"I can see souls through this, his is not there. I need to get the King."

"What you want to try time travel to get him back?"

"Yes, well, his soul, gimme a sec."

You call him and ask him to join you in this endeavour.

"Certainly. He is a useful member of the Elemental Research department."

The two of you join up, and by boosting his Heavenly Energy by 32 times, he has a good chance of reversing time.

You see a ghostly image of Zhang appear, however, he is strung up to the wall by red and grey lines.

You use the Skill on him, to find that Long reversed enough time that the red marks are still on him, you now see that they are denser around his lips. You see that the bottle in his hands still has some liquid in him.

"We need to make more amulets. I don't want to be interrupted every time this occurs."

He leaves as soon as he came. Zhang is still asleep, but you funnel the Life Element into him in a desperate attempt to keep him alive. He starts to wake up, and one of the first things he tries to do is take a drink.

"Ffffffuck off! I need this. What time is it? I was in the gravity chamber."

he tries to push you off, but you have a higher strength.

"Dammit! Let me go!"

"You died! Hell no!"

"Screw you!"

He teleports out of your grip, however you manage to rip the bottle away from him in time.

"Coooome-on! You made it for me!"

In your closed palm a greyish sphere appears, distorting the space.

You see Bixie grab and hold Zhang quite easily, but he just blinks out every time. This gives him enough time whilst you are sorting your Skills to use one of his own.

He strikes the ground, actual ripples in the crystal walls forming, you see sections of the walls and ceiling burst out in cuboid like fashion. Your perception is distorted, but you have the upper hand in the fact it will be very difficult for him to reach you without Bixie catching him. He just keeps teleporting around and the only thing you have to do is either wait for him to run out of Heavenly Energy or play defensively and wait for an opening to strike, you could swap with the new things sticking out of the walls, but it could be dangerous for both you and him.

You see through his skill and decide to act. As soon as Bixie grabs him you swap yourselves and use your sphere. You see him get crushed as the space tries to confine in on him, well, you see major damage to his limbs, but not his head as he resists the shrinking with his Element.

"Nice Skill! Let me show you mine!"

You see the sphere snap, blood flying out of his left upper arm as a sword made of distorted Spatial Energy sits along the right forearm.

"TAKE THIS YOU DAMN BRAT!"

You use your Spatial Element to bend the blade away and then punch him in the face as he comes closer, with your strength and his endurance he conks out. Bixie tries to come up to you for something but you dismiss her. Can't exactly have a monster walking within the halls without good reason.

>You win!

You decide that taking him to medical would be a good idea. You plonk him next to Shan-Bai

"Now then. What could be the problem?"

You decide to probe him with some Life Element to see where the problem is. Another doctor comes up and assists, namely for the medical knowledge of the body, which you don't have yet.

You delve inside his bloodstream, and notice something odd, there is a low level of poison sitting around.

The assisting doctor tells you he recognises it as alcohol, but it shouldn't be this toxic, and suggests that he put the Vice-Marshal in intensive care for alcohol poisoning treatment through blood transfusion.

This is organised, but you now have a solid idea of what was destroyed, His alcohol tolerance, namely, what killed him wasn't the Destruction Element but poison, or, the drink you made him.

You leave in the late morning, you doubt you could call the others now for the Creation Element, and Shan-Bai is still asleep, so you decide to do something else.

"I think the alcohol was a habit of his, maybe send him to a specialist?

"I'm afraid we can't do that without his permission in writing, these things take time and money to organise, even for someone like the Vice-Marshal."

"Fine, I'll be off."

You leave and Jiang finds you a few minutes later, looking pretty pissed.

"So much for breakfast! I'm hungry!"

"Well have something now and wait till lunch. We can always make our way back there."

"Teleporting"

"Yes."

"Fine, we'll go for an evening meal, I hear they have better service in the evenings."

"Do you know why?"

"People back in Miller spend lots of their time awake at night, so good service is key then."

"Right, what do we do in the meantime?"

"Train? I don't want to, I'm still cultivating...this third Jewel messed up some stuff with a plan, I didn't lose out on any stats, but I have to wait a few more weeks until I match you again."

"Guess I'll train, you want to help or...?"

"I want to watch, maybe more Heavenly Energy Control training. I can turn into fire now...not sure it's gonna be safe now with...you know what."

"Maybe I'll experiment later. Can Fei turn into Wind?"

"Well, that looked fun....it's getting dark now, how about we head back to the cafe?"

"Sure."

The two of you don your disguises and head back. Jiang rushes in like last time. You see the stars in the night sky just outside the entrance, and most importantly, the Moon, now quite disfigured. You can't bear to look at it, it just brings the thoughts of hate again, this brings the thoughts of Jiang to you, but you cut them off, this is a night of fun, not that.

"Where would the floor for food be?"

"The 5th floor, Master Zou."

Shit.

"Hehe, there is limited seating. Thank you for coming to the embassy. If you would like a Visa please make your way to the 4th floor."

"Is there a floor plan?"

"Yes, of course."

"What gave it away?"

"We are trained to recognise the noble folk, you two did not belong, I am not sure of your companion, but using some deduction with the phone call in the morning it was easy. We understand your efforts, and welcome you as any other guest, as the saying goes in Miller, do not be afraid to have fun."

You notice that the floor numbers get higher as you go down, the ground floor is the same, then one below is the first floor, all the way to the eighth floor, but you can sense there is a much larger underground network. Does this not mess with the infrastructure? This is an embassy not a permanent military base!

>Boost to the Nature Seed

You and Jiang look around, seeing all sorts of food you have never known existed. You grew up on home cooked food, then fed military food, this kind of delicacies is something completely foreign to you, not just foreign in general.

The two of you grab snacks and sit down, but from the corner, you spot something...interesting, you can feel the Nature seed calling out to it. You walk over, you can tell he was hiding it, he was selling sweets, buy you can sense it, and immediately bring it out of hiding with the Spatial Element.

"Ah! Had your eye on this did you? It's a fascinating emerald, one of my staff found it in the beast tribe forest, a place so dangerous not even Dershwa have sent for an expedition! Yet here it is, I can sell it to you for.....225 Gold, with sweets, my actual wares!.

What the fuck?! That's enough to buy a house! Well, a house on the outskirts near the forest, but whatever.

"Not for any cheaper? It is just a Jewel, I'm sure those are most common."

"Spherical ones yes, irregular, no. 220 Gold."

"Does it even do anything?"

"Paperweight, ammo, aesthetic, I myself fitted it to a lamp for a dazzling light show, imagine the very forest itself opening onto the wall. Even your servants will stop their work to gawk at the sight!"

"200 Gold. I can make such things with my Light Element."

"215 Gold, this piece is unique!"

"210 Gold, what if a skilled Earth user tries to copy it?"

"Bah! 205 Gold, final offer! You come to my desk and do something this absurd yo should be prepared to pay!"

"Deal."

>You have 20405 Gold

You take the stone back and sit with Jiang, giving her a bag of boiled fruit sweets. You however store the emerald in your ring, and save it for later, you don't even know how to activate it. Jiang speaks to you.

"Well that was odd..thanks for the sweets, I don't think it's gonna be terribly good for me or...that, but thanks. Oh wait! I heard they have a special kind of party down on the eighth floor and we haven't danced in a while..so...you wanna go?"

"Yes. I'm not sure I'll be any good, if it's anything like Miller it will be bright, in your face and not very clear, that isn't exactly how I work."

"Says the man who just accosted a sweet seller for an emerald."

"Not my fault, I...have something that is guiding me, guided me to look for it. A present, not sure what it does yet."

"Well. Forget that! Party!"

She takes you in hand downstairs, you see a lot more Jewel Masters going down, and you are worried about your Jewels being seen by a noble, so you make them look like Lightning Elemental Jewels.

Perception:54
Dancing: 97

You don't see much except for the flashing lights, multicoloured and flavoured with Elements, you see a few Elemental Jewel Masters shooting Skills into the air. These people are wealthy. You see Physical Jewel Masters moving about in blurs, you see one couple run out of the chamber together.

However, you can't hear yourself think. Compared to the more traditional brass or string work, this stuff seems jarring at first, the sounds are artificially generated, like lightning bolts hurtling into your ears.

You get used to it after a short while, letting the sounds pulse through you. You let yourself go and find Jiang, experimenting and even using your now Lightning Element Jewels to flare up your performance. The few of the crowd who can see and hear you over all the noise and light give an impressed look, then go back to their business. Jiang is loving every second of it. This style of dance has no rules, no limitations apart from your own physical and mental ones, with your strength you can do a lot of flips, but it is dangerous in a place like this.

The two of you leave the room satisfied. You look for a clock and see that it is going into the evening, you could stay here and look for something else in the City even with martial law, or you could go back to the Palace and hopefully someone has found more information about Shan-Bai.

Jiang tells you she is pretty tired, but wouldn't mind spending more time with you. She wants as much time to do things like this before it becomes not only dangerous for her, but your child. You didn't see anything like drugs there, but it's best to stay vigilant.

You tell Jiang that heading back to check on Shan-Bai could be a good idea. She agrees but says that she can't stay long, and wants to sleep as soon as possible.

You teleport back using your glove, swapping Jiang with some stuff so the both of you are back where you need to be. You go to check on Shan-Bai.

You find her awake, but the doctor's are refusing entry to anyone, even yourself.

"Why? What's the problem?"

"Yeah what gives?!"

"I am afraid-my deepest apologies-I'm afraid what ever you and the head's of state did to aid Princess Shan-Bai, it hasn't fully worked. She has shown suicidal tendencies with supreme determination. She is fully committed to the act of killing herself."

"All we did was make her determined, are there any other symptoms?"

"Yes, I suggest you attend one of the psychology lectures on the subject matter, but she lacks the confidence to do...anything! However, this inclusion of yours has made her determined maybe, but she still lacks the confidence to do anything else. Specialists think she is feeling suicidal whilst being fully determined to do her best. So she is trying her best to kill herself."

Oh.

"I must ask Lieutenant, when the proper level of confidence has been instilled in her, do you have a countermeasure for her newfound determination? I understood that she worked hard, but we had to sedate her to do any work!"

"Not currently, but I think this is the correct amount of determination, namely because of all the hard work she put in for her rehabilitation."

"The rehabilitation which is being undone as we speak?"

"I can instil some Life Element into her to keep that from happening."

"So be it. I grant you permission to enter."

He unlocks the door, and allows you in, but not Jiang, Shan-Bai could wake up at any opportunity and could put Jiang into a dangerous situation.

You get closer, she has been confined to the bed, namely with steel, and you activate your Life Element, using it to stabilise her condition. You heard she lacks confidence, so that could be a good suggestion, but really you need to find a way to delete some of the stuff you guys make.

You immediately rush back to your room with Jiang, who isn't really concerned.

You wake up Jiang, and tell her that you need to write a letter, however, you carry little furniture, even less in this room. However you do have some stuff in your Spacial Ring and with luck you have some ink, a pen and paper.

"Dear YianEyue, Low Level Shi Stage Heavenly Master, Disciple to the Dragon Lord, Heavenly God.

It has been a long time since we have talked together, and after we parted ways in the Great Dershwa Palace, I hope you have been growing strong under your Master. I have yet to make the trip to the Dragon's Mountain, but I hope to see you in good time. How have you been? It has not been the greatest time here. Namely that the war with the Moon has escalated, we have our main enemy. A beast who goes by the name of Kreyzar who is able to destroy anything, including pieces of a person's mind using his Element, which I have personally witnessed myself. However, through the continued cooperation between The Patriarch of the Dershwa Clan, Heavenly God Long Dershwa, The Prime Minister of Miller, Heavenly God Zhong Chizui, Her Highness the Matriarch of all Sunrise Islands Kurushi Tsushiri and I, the Angel of Death, have made something to prevent his power from touching those we need to protect. When you opened this package you would have found a white, blue and crimson oval shaped amulet. Please wear this at all times, as it will protect you from the events of the coming war. Even now, there are casualties in the dozens, all the way to the higher echelons. Your Master is no exception to this, but if he would like an amulet, he will need to apply for one as soon as possible, as we can only make so few and receive it in person due to his strength. If you see anyone with red glowing diamond marks on their skin, they have been affected by Kreyzar. The symptoms vary, but a loss of control or will over their emotions is most common.

This amulet is my personal gift to you, it represents our family, through this, I can always be with you. Good luck with your training. I hope to receive a letter from you in good time.

From Zou-Do-Shai, Low Level Zun Stage Heavenly Master, Teleship Lieutenant, code-name: Angel of Death, Disciple to Demon Hammer, Heavenly God."

There, a greeting, mention of the war, Kreyzar, the amulet, the Destruction Element and how you would like a response as soon as possible.

The process of drafting and writing this does not take a long time, and it is not the afternoon when you finish. Jiang has already left the room, possibly to cultivate. You store this letter in your Spatial Ring and ruminate on yesterday a bit. However you...

You decide to go for a walk early and see Demon Hammer, he's probably spent enough time with Sally to get bored, so training it is.

You find him exactly where you think, with the others. Zhong looks great, apparently a friend from some primitive island country is coming to visit, so it's been people he likes for a solid two weeks coming back into his life. Tsushiri is with her sister, and she seems timid to say much, especially when you look at her. You can't understand this much, after all, you have not had real siblings. Maybe she feels almost humiliated by your action. Almost 500 years and then in an instant a relative is back.

The King, you can sense through your Saint Element he is scared of something, pride and envy piercing his heart in some respects too.

The 4 of you just make amulets, you decide to take one just in case the Dragon Lord shows up without any warning.

"Master, would you help train me this morning?"

"Sure! I'm up for anything!"

He takes you away, and you do your usual, but Demon Hammer also asks for a buff to his cultivating, guess that's not happening, it works, but there's no success.

"Just so you know. I can help you improve your pitiful sword skills in a short time. Even if I limited myself to your level I would outpace you in this respect."

"Maybe one day. We have more to worry about now though. When are we doing more joint training?"

"This evening. Long was a bit hesitant to do it immediately, says it would bring bad karma, I don't believe him. I was born to be a demon but I'm now a prime minister."

"Do you enjoy your job?"

"Only in public speaking, then I can show my real talent: Charisma. I can do fighting and speaking, but forget legal bullshit. Anything I suggest gets blown off as "too reasonable", Miller is at a standstill. The people don't want to work and they vote for people who keep it that way. Literally almost everyone in the parliament hates their job, but it pays well. We all want to party too!"

"Is that why you met me? You wanted some fun?"

"Yeah. Glad I did too!"

You think back to last night. That must have been a teaser of the actual Miller, huh. How many of them have jobs?

"Who actually works?"

"People who join the army, bankers and politicians, everyone else just half asses it for money. People after my own heart!"

"Typical."

"Mood-killer you are."

"I think you mean responsible."

"That too. I need to raise you better. Having a kid at your age, whatever next!?"

What.

"H-how-"

"My Element can sense vulnerable souls to make sinful, babies count."

"Screw you."

"Have fun with that!"

"Can you at least tell me more?"

"Two kids, both female."

Huh.

"Drat."

"Wonder which one's going to be stronger?"

"Not really, just imagine Jiang with 8 Elements."

"Huh, never thought about it like that. HAHAHHAHA! I hope to be dead before they get strong enough to challenge me."

It does make you wonder though, first Jessica, then your own Master, who else knows?"

"I can smell your fear. Don't worry I'll keep it a secret, just use some of that Light Element on the Princess to hide it."

"Fine."

"I've got a meeting with a woman called Saraona, basically the tribe leader of some people with a unique Element, you wanna come or just some training for you? Just so you know, I'm having Sun-Di come over for protection, just in case. We might need some lead."

"Why?"

"Do you know what nuclear means?"

"No?"

"Fine, well, you need some lead in case she gets a bit mad and releases her Element."

"No, I need to do some research for Shan-Bai's sake. Where do they hold those lectures?"

"Nearby the Elemental Research department, just be careful, if you haven't gone to a scheduled one it'll be shit."

"Anything to help."

You head over and ask a few pointed questions to some of the clerks, they tell you that there is a drop in session for the medical staff, and it is also a brainstorming session for what to do with Shan-Bai. Now that someone has managed to make an informative document on the Creation Element some people are making their own ideas.

You find the place and sit down, as this is only a drop in session, it doesn't go into the depths of the structure of the brain, but it does give you a better idea.

The main consensus from new interview records delivered by her personal doctors is that she seems depressed, showing many the signs, like lethargy and boredom, except in the issue of death. The staff are getting sick of it, as they are struggling to get her to answer. The final comment was that she seems afraid to answer any question.

Afraid? You remember that the doctor had mentioned she lacked confidence, maybe you'll try that.

You start consulting with a few others, they seem to think she lacks composure in some aspect, as she refuses to act in the proper way.

Someone points out that perhaps a controlled test with a construct would do the trick. Others complain about the ethical use of such a thing, you have no idea what they are talking about.

The lecturer begins his arguement

"We need to work with the little data we have from before the King and the others used the Creation Element. Does anyone know anything?"

"I-I do."

"Spit it out then!"

"I'm part of the CCTV function sometimes, and a few days before she attempted to kill herself, we saw her acting...weird. She wouldn't do her usual training. We tried to flag it up but Shan-Bai refused anyone who tried to see her. If we take the view she lacked confidence, she would have felt afraid to do any serious work as it could result in failure. Talking to people would be horrendous! Who hear read about Dwan-Fa? It's like her all over again!"

You hear shouting and complaints from the small crowd, you guess not many people like the CCTV department, or...

"Screw you! We all promised to never speak of that again!"

"A failure isn't our concern!"

"She was 3 days old at release! Nothing like this!"

"We have put restrictions in place to prevent that!"

"Shan-Bai isn't like the tube soldiers!"

You hear varying things, but people are more reacting to the name Dwan-Fa. You hear something about artificial and other terms, mostly scientific, which you have no understanding of.

It's all kinda confusing, but you gather most of the people here consider it an insult to suggest any similarity between this Dwan-Fa and Shan-Bai

The lecturer attempts, and succeeds to calm everyone down.

"I apologise for this, but her case is certainly similar. However, the contents of which are extremely classified. Everyone who is not a Captain or above of their division will be asked to leave, now. That includes you Angel of Death. Do you have any outstanding questions?"

"I want a vote on what the people think the solution should be."

"On what terms?"

"It seems the two prevailing ideas are her confidence or her composure. Whilst the two are similar, they are different. We tried determination, yet all it did was make it worse, we need something more specific."

"Very well."

You see more hands put up, or some other action for confidence.

"Right. This...lecture is over, you are all dismissed apart from those who wish and can stay to discuss the classified material."

Maybe a promotion is in order. You are not sure of the responsibilities but more information would be nice. Why can't they just tell you? You are literally one of the 4 people who could help her!

You leave, and remember you have group training in the evening. Hopefully Demon Hammer turns up alive.

You make it there, and see him fine and well. You can sense someone different in the helm. Zhang has not been seen to after all, probably being held in spatial confinement before the 4 of you give him an alcohol tolerance.

*Inconvenience. Fuk.

>88

Training goes very well, namely that with you as the healer/core pf the group, the others begin learning to work with each other, and using their Elements in combinations. You see Demon Hammer never summons his. He doesn't say why, but it still works for these purposes.

You see the King use Time Reversal to a good effect in combination with the Divine Element, the Evil Element weakening the opponent further. You use your Saint Element to buff them all, you all reach a solid baseline to work from, but you all run out of time to train, and the machine switches off.

You head off back to your room. Jiang is not asleep, but instead stops you going to bed.

"Hey, I have something for you!"

She runs over to a new piece of furniture, you became used to living with only a bed, the Wind and Water Elements enough to clean you, and the Spatial Element for telekinesis, so there was no need for a closet or a bathroom, however. Jiang was horrified at this, so she made a few changes. She walks over to a cupboard on the wall, and brings out a cake.

Cake, ah, no. Perhaps not.

"I made it myself! What do you think?"

It's simple, in fact. It's exactly like the...cake which tried to eat you. You can feel your heartbeat quicken.

"Hey what's wrong- I can hear your heart. Zou-"

You start to flash in and out of consciousness. Why you? All these things, the demons, the "problems" which you deal with. Even Jiang! What the hell is wrong with you that all this happens to you?! You're just a random orphan from the edge of town! You may have awakened 6 Elements, but you were not born a Heavenly Jewel Master.

"Zou! Listen to me!"

"Huh?"

"I-I'm sorry. Do-do you not like cake? I can make some-something else?"

You can feel her regret.

"No, I haven't eaten a lot of it, I like it....I just...I need some sleep, some time. All I need is time."

Jiang puts the cake down, but she doesn't look at you.

"That's what dad always said."

"It is his Element."

"No, I mean, he was always in a rush, never enough time for me or my mother."

You stay silent.

"Please don't become him. I don't care if the world ends if I can't spend it's last few days with you, today taught me that."

You can feel yourself dropping to the floor, as gravity exhaustion and the fear the beast brought you come to fruition.

"Zou-!"

>You have run out of time!

>Start of the 98th day

Rolling 3d100, first for Shian DC 60, second for Kreyzar DC 90, third for Saraona DC 70

You wake up in your own bed. Jiang is not there with you. You see a note saying she was organising something with the doctors. So much for the Saint and Life Elements. You don't feel as exhausted, but perhaps you might need some advice with how gravity works. If only Zhang were up and running. He would know...you haven't checked on him for a while

>>
>>3845117
You get up, get dressed, and hear a knock on the door.

"Hey Zou! More creation stuff! We have a few more things."

The 4 of you meet up, and make 8 amulets. Demon Hammer makes another syringe of something, and the King makes a weird...what would you call it? Spinny-ball-thing.

"It's a time-based gyroscope"

"Huh? How the fuck is that supposed to work?"

"It supposedly can stabilise time, I have made it modular, so It is an investment. I need some time to experiment with it."

"Ah whatever. What do you want to do kid?"

"I want to talk to someone, no training."

"I guess you were a bit tuckered out from yesterday. Fine. I permit it!"

He stomps off, his massive frame casting a large shadow over you.

You head off to see Fei, she is sitting at a desk, pen in hand and glasses on her face.

"Hello?"

"Oh! Zou! It's been a while hasn't it? Well, how have you been? I hear it's been busy busy. Same here really. All the troops and resources the Elemental Research people and Jessica want ...plus some stuff I was doing with J....,Shian! I simply haven't had time for myself!"

You see dark circles under her eyes, you last saw her in hospital, yet she's like this? Will she even be in a good condition to fight in the eventual battle?

Shit, with all this I don't think I have enough time to write it all before I go to work, so I will leave it. Be back for 19:45pm BST.

You use Revitalise, you see her slump over in relief, eyes becoming more normal.

"Why don't you take a break? I think you should take some time to relax before you burn out. I learnt that the hard way."

"I-I no I couln't possibly! You and Father are working so hard I must not let y-you down!"

She tries to go back into work again, but you grab her arm, you can't bear to see this to happen to another person.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm perfectly fine! Nothing is wrong!"

She tries to get out of the chair and your grasp, but you are stronger.

"Why do you insist on running away?"

That brings out a different reaction, namely, she slumps in her chair, no resistance.

"I'm sorry."

"For what? Just give yourself some breaks."

"N-not that. I'm sorry for-for helping Jiang, with...."

You remember this, Jiang said Fei had helped make the drink that knocked you out. Oh Dao that is not a nice feeling.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Sure...well she came to me late in the evening, I normally go to sleep then, and she tells me "Fei Fei help me s-seduce Zou!"

"Did she stutter?"

"No! I'm just embarrassed! Well, she told me about her...plan...she would give you the drink, then take you to her room, and use the opportunity with the right lighting and timing to-"

"She bound me to a bed with magic leather and raped me! Was that in the plan?!"

"No! I'm sorry! Please I thought she would be nicer about this!"

"What in the hell is nice about drugging someone for sex?"

"I-isn't it romantic? You know the whole "Utter devotion" and the tenseness of being captured by your love?"

She truly is a birdbrain, what the hell kind of books gave her that idea?

"We weren't together! What's romantic about betrayal and capture?!"

"I didn't think she would keep you in there for more than a night. I didn't think she....that she would do that! That was all Kreyzar's fault!"

"Did you ever look at her face? At all? There were the marks of the destruction element all over her!"

"I didn't see them!"

Wait, what?"

"B-but."

"I don't know! Maybe they only show up with certain actions or something!"

This means more questions than answers. She didn't have the corruption, or was she only semi corrupted? If he uses it in weak ways does it not make the marks? You want answers.

"Have you spoken with Jiang yet?"

"Yeah...I'm sorry....you look really angry, I. Tell me what to do! I don't know anything apparently! So tell me how to repay you because I don't know!"

She pushes you away with her wind.

"All we spoke about was apologies and Jiang apologising to me. I have had no time for anything else!"

"Well, maybe for now, you can do one thing."

"Really?!"

She sounds like a dog, dependant on its master, hopeful.

"Tell me something, when you and Jiang spoke, tell me what she told you....did she mention anything...about what happens after."

"Huh? After? Like, a stork and stuff?"

Fucking idiot! You thought more Jewels meant more intelligence!

"No, like, did she say she was pregnant?"

Guess you have to be more direct.

"Ah. AH! Oh Dao! She...kind didn't. Is. Is?"

There are sparkles in her eyes, well, anyone would be excited in a situation like this, you can let it go.

"Yes, Jessica knows, no-one else. Do. Not. Say. A. Word!"

"Yes Sir. I swear on my second life!"

Dammit! Did death teach her nothing after all.

"Is there anything you would like from me? I just...I want to put it behind me, I still love Jiang. I still want to continue.."

"Keep working hard! I believe in you! Dad-Power!"

"Shhh!"

"Oh right, Hehe."

"Just....I want your help with something. A friend of mine, my sister, if you will, is essentially trapped on Dragon Mountain. When I have the chance. I want you to help protect her. I can get her out, but not keep her without angering the Dragon Lord."

"OK! I promise! Anything for my brother-in-law!"

"We aren't even married! After the war if anything."

"OK! I-is everything right now?"

"I think so. I'm sorry for lashing out like that. I just hate Kreyzar so much now. It's not healthy."

"Then just kill him! Bam!"

She starts making punching motions in the air, sometimes you wonder whether she is 350 or 3.

You leave it at that.

"There's a lot to cover. Take a seat."

"Well. I have 4 sets of Jewels now and thanks so someone else I have a seventh Element."

"Fucking what? That has to be a first. Next?"

"There's a crazy guy on the Moon directly targeting me by destroying people's minds in an attempt for them to kill me. I, along with Demon Hammer, The King, and Her Highness are working together to kill him, we are getting closer."

"Right. Right. 3 head's of state. No biggie."

"My Saint Element can do so much. I have some control over some beasts, a school of Saint fish around the 5th Jewel to the 6th Jewel and a Heavenly King level Saint beast. Maybe the two of you can meet, she's a bit cold, but can speak normally."

"Well, I have a few signature beasts of my own! That Consolidated Equipment you gave me. I can make beasts and train them up to be much stronger. Their only weakness is that they can only be Fire or Water Element, and the Fire is much weaker."

"Well, at least you have a way to be stronger than your cultivation. If we meet each other, I can buff that to help you train and break through."

"No wonder you're ahead."

"I've only been here a few months, yet I have a codename: Angel of Death."

"People just call me Chad, tell me the name Song doesn't fit me. Girlfriend's an exception through."

"What's her name?"

"Shang-Ji-Fa. High Level Shi Stage Heavenly Jewel Master. She's not from a powerful family or anything, but I would do anything to make it a possibility. The Pah name will spread far and wide!"

"Same here bud. Jiang and I...we're basically together. Forgiveness and trust have kept me awake, but she's been driving it. In many ways."

"Well, leave it for after the war, it's been nothing but military prodding about here. We've had to set up an illegal party! Imagine that! With the new embassy in Miller we can afford to let our hair down a bit, but a curfew is still in place as you get closer to the border with the Forest, although I hear it's been pretty quiet there."

"Huh. Hey when was the last time you went to Miller?"

"A few weeks ago, why?"

"Did you see a massive Ice ravine?"

"Y-yeah? I thought that was normal-wait. Fucking no way!"

"Yes way. You've got a long way to go to match me brother!"

"Dammit! Not only you now YianEyue! Where the hell is she now she told us she might be coming home soon!"

"I-she's at the Dragon Lord's mountain. He tool her in. I am trying to get her out."

"Wait, why? Isn't he now her rightful master?"

"Well, I got a call from her. She's not being treated right, that's for sure."

"Shit, do you want me to do anything on my end?"

"Against a Heavenly God? No, I can get it sorted, but when I help her escape, I want you to be there to protect her."

"I promise, anything for the family."

"Anything for family."

"Anything else?"

"If I don't call you in two weeks time, then call me. If I don't respond, then I am dead. Kreyzar is trying anything he has in the book. I should send you an amulet to protect you, he is targeting everyone I know."

"I-fuck, can't you just revive-"

The 4 of you start to generate the Creation Element. This subsequently blocks the use of other Elements, so you have to rely on the room for movement. Instead of making a centre, the 4 of you try and coordinate movements to spread the energy around.

You make a similar sized centre somewhere in front of Demon Hammer, but not much place else. There is difficulty in giving the Element orders.

Well, that's another day with no Shan-Bai or Zhang.

"Anyway. I think it best we make something that can trap Kreyzar using the Creation Element, and something to improve our speed and reflexes, and for me personally, something to store some contingencies for the Resurrect Skill."

"Deal. The doctors say they have found out the problem with the Vice-Marshal. I plan to deal with that tomorrow."

So, over the next few minutes, one bear trap with strange markings on it, 4 amulets, and an egg pop out of the minds of the four of you.

You take your second amulet and the egg, then proceed to go to the training room for some Agility training.

You get up, and have an idea: What if you just made a machine that could tell you when and what Kreyzar Destroys?

You ponder this more, and when it comes to it, you make a pinging thing. A counter. You funnel your Heavenly Energy into it and it goes wild! You are not sure of the meaning of this, what is he destroying?

You make a second thing, a camera, the others all think it is a good investment to make, and the 4 of you go see Shan-Bai. Using the camera. It turns out your original plan of instilling a force of will in her wouldn't work. She was in fact lacking confidence, the words boldly putting out the information.

You see the red marks completely disappear from her body, however, she probably needs a bit more sleep.

The 4 of you also go to the prison?

"Wait. Why are we going there?"

"To see the Vice-Marshal."

"HAHAHA the fucking skeleton's a sore loser that't for sure! 'It wasn't fair! I was drunk!' doesn't count in fights."

Prison?

You find him in a cell. Tsushiri says she doesn't want to stay here long, and that she has some business to attend to.

You see him tied up, bound in Gold Diamond, and connected to an IV drip.

"When we do this, I expect you to resume your post as soon as possible."

The King has no sympathy.

After restoring his alcohol tolerance under your request, the 4 of you split.

You head back to your room, for some peace and quiet. Jiang is not there, probably cultivating.

You hear a knock on the door.

"Hello? Zou? Are you in there?"

It's Shian.

"What is it?"

"I-I wanted to talk a bit more...about what we talked about last time."

You open your door.

"Oh! I see you've redecorated...was there a reason?"

Does she not know about Jiang?

"It got boring. Take a seat."

"R-right, so, how are things on your end? You told me you would try and put it behind you. Is that working?"

"With Jiang? Yeah, I think so. She's happy, I'm happy, but, I can still feel him."

You take out the counter, you activate it for one second and hundreds of tiny clicks sound.

"What is that?"

"Something that sounds whenever the Destruction Element is used."

"Oh, any idea when the mission is going to happen?"

"Nope, ask your father."

"Ok....I guess you can't pu-put it behind you...I, I need to tell you something."

"Go on?"

"Shara and I...we...we are together."

Ah. That can't be safe.

"I just. I don't know, I feel like I am only using her! All I do with her is satisfy my selfish desires!"

"Do you love her?"

"No! I-I feel like him! Like the man who went after me! I, I just don't know what to do anymore. Shara...caters for my wants, but I can't see her as anything more than a friend. I need your advice. You seem a lot calmer than me, Jiang isn't dead. Help me, please."

> You sigh "Shian... Fine. I might not be the best to ask in this situation, but I'll give my two cents. First things first, you're two sapient beings. While I do admit that does not equal maturity, I would much like to see some from a centuries-old woman. I blame the fact that you've been in the Palace your whole lives, travelling would be good for y'all sisters, after the war is over. Back to the point: you're in a relationship. If you can't see the other as a serious romantic partner, they must be made aware of it. It's a thing called talking. Confiding. A relationship is not a series of moment of two people being together: look where it took me and Jiang. We did not communicate when we could, we were both too busy, and while I grew a bit too detached she grew needy and obsessive. It's not healthy. You need to bare open all your cards, if not, you're not being fair to the other. Of course, that is only if you both want to continue your current relationship."
>>
"How old are you again?"

"Wha-240?"

"I thought I might expect some maturity from you with your age, both of you can speak and understand each other, yes?"

"Yeah-"

"Then talk to each other."

"But how?! I'm so scared! I-You don't know what I have done to her!"

"A relationship is not a series of moments of two people bring together, you need to show her all you are, as she is to you. It's only far. If you can't continue, then stop."

"What if she tells me we can't be friends! I can't lose her like this!"

"How many friends have you had?"

She doesn't have much of a response.

"To give you an example, Jiang and I didn't communicate when we could, couldn't really, we were too busy. As time went on, I grew detached from her, and she became almost obsessive. We could have just talked, but no, you know what happened in the end."

"Dammit! I've never had to do something like this! I should just go back to training and the Stored Skill Palace!"

"Fine, what made you think I was the best person to talk about this anyway?"

" 'Cause you're like me!"

"Does your Element make you antisocial or something?"

"W-what?"

"You are being very rude. Shara is a beast, she has likely lived just as long if not longer than you, she would have had partners, and namely, none of them would have been the same species. She has the maturity, and experience to help guide you. As I said, communication is key. Jiang and I now spend a lot more time together, even with how little time we have. Sure, it is impractical, but it matters. Shara is part of the Saint Element, and part of that is being able to forgive."

"OK! I. I'm gonna go now! See you later!"

She leaves in a hurry, you don't think in the best spirits, but a lot better than they were.

You hear another knock on the door. What now?

"Boy! Come see this, two this'!"

It's Sun-Di

You open the door.

"Come! I show you two good things!"

You have to use your Wind Element to keep up, she stops in one of the many hallways here.

She points mid air. You see something you recognise, a corrupted section of the Dao.

"Look! Is great! Monsters pop out at night and I fight! Good for training m new Jewel!"

You immediately use your Saint Element to purify it as she walks on. Can't leave something like that out can we.

"What/s the second thing?"

"After 10 Jewels, I went out to train. I found something strong. Follow me fellow Icy Jade user!"

She takes you someplace deep in the Palace, you can tell it is a lot older by the fact there are no cameras here. You see...something in the distance.

It is massive, kinda grey? You need some more light, so you make some with your new Element.

You see a dragon. A full fledged dragon. You see Cat's Eye Jade on its scaly hide.

"How on Earth did you do this?"

"I punched it and then forced hundreds of tiny needles into its body. For Spatial Dragon it was strong, but I show you I strong yes?"

"Yeah?"

"Then, you, me. Rematch soon? When you hit 6th Jewel?"

"That could be months away!"

"I am 150! A few months is nothing! I am steady and robust like earth, you have nothing to worry about."

"What did you bring me here for anyway?"

"I wanted to show you that your favour is not being ignored! We are going to Dragon Mountain. So I show you that I can kill a dragon!"

"Where did you even find it?"

"In Wastelands! Kept running and chopping about, I caught it!"

"Well done."

"I-eh! Hm! Yes! I do good thing!"

She kinda squeaks at that, you aren't sure why though.

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes! I am strong yes?"

"Yes, all you do it train, stop being coy."

"At our level, training does not take long, but, I figured out a way to go beyond!"

"Pardon?"

"Interested?"

She starts throwing punches.

"Yes, do tell...."

"Training can go on for a lot longer. 5 times longer, but you need...a push. Only Earth can provide this, no other!"

"What about the other stats?"

"No idea! Come! We try!"

You activate your Saint Element to try and buff your gains, but you are slapped out of it.

"No! Nothing can help! I know! Cheating will get you nowhere!"

She starts using her Element, the Earth changing into metal, metal which you have never seen before, it is...blue, and green, and shimmering with light.

"My technique. I now give to you!"

She turns the metal into a liquid, then into tiny microscopic spines, is that the word? You feel them tunnel into you, causing huge stresses on your body. You then start to do push-ups, and dear god does it hurt.

You wait a little while to spot movement, but it stays...still, it's hard to see at this distance.

"Hey! Bro! Look where you're going!"

You almost ran into someone there, the one bad thing about these is that you can't see the normal world, only hear it and feel it. So you can get lost sometimes...

You inform all four of them, and summon Fei, Sun-Di for some protection. Demon Hammer is put on standby to not make the poor girl terrified.

You activate the Skill, however, instead of YianEyue...you see the visage of the Dragon Lord, Heavenly God.

"Huh? Where am I? The fuck am I doing here?! Hey YOU!"

Shit.

"It's you! That brat! HAHAHA! Still got those party tricks up? I see you have friends! Pu tme back!"

"Why are you wearing that?"

"What? You mean this thing?"

You see him pick up the amulet in his hands, shit.

"Well, the Disciple got it in the post! What's hers is mine! Apparently it can help prevent "Destruction Element or something?"

Sun-Di steps in.

"How is runt? Is she strong, healthy?"

"She's a fucking wimp that's what! All I do is throw her down the mountain and tell her to come back up and she treats me like some kind of demon! True story!"

Wimp? Your sister? The one who tried her very best to kill you? Raised by the same home as you? No.#

"Come now, she was a small girl!"

"With the Endurance attribute at Heavenly Jewel Master level! As I said-"

"That's wrong!" Fei shouts out, you can see her bofy tensing in anger.

"I beg your pardon you filthy hag, talk back to-" You see Fei lunge forward and smack him in the face, you didn't even see it.

"Monster! That's not how it works! Give her back!"

Failure!

You see Fei charge in with all her speed, tiny fractures in space appearing. Sun-Di amasses Consolidated Equipment, extra metal of all kinds appearing on her body, enhancing her. Bixie summons holy light. Your school of fish rush towards him. You prepare your second Spatial Skill.

You watch as the Dragon Lord turns into his namesake. a green and purple dragon rippling with muscle. Consolidated Equipment, the same colour as your own Black Jade, representing the Strength he has. He starts to emit Lightning

You watch as Fei is outmatched by the speed of Light itself. The Lightning throwing her back in spectacular fashion. Sun-Di envelops herself in earth. Her body just resisting the Lightning using her Element.

However, Bixie and your fish get toasted. The wings and golden bodies shred to bits and burnt. You feel the sparks of all colours smash into you. Then nothing for a split second. You feel your Skill dissipate.

You wake again. You do a quick search and you find that Shijiu Lian Yu and Bixie are gone from your consciousness. They were killed in battle.

You see the draconic form glower over you.

"Well, now! Attacking an ally! At least the angel is dead. Now for the rest of you!"

Fei stands up, ready for combat again. The contingency coming into effect. Sun-Di is building a stronger defence.

Bixie and Shijiu Lian Yu are dead.

Critical Success! You have won the match!

This time, things go a bit differently. He must have used a lot more Heavenly Energy to do that and it shows. He instead moves to physical attacks, but Fei attacks first, using her Agility to strike him, knocking him back. After all, he was flying.

Sun-Di shoots out a portion of her defence with her fist, the strength rivalling his as the Elemental metal pounded his scaly body. Blood showing. If it bleeds, it can die.

In your peripheral, you can sense a change in Sun-Di. Oh, that must be Bixie! Well then, that was unexpected. You see the perfect Earth formation crumble slowly as Bixie's inexperience catches up with her compared to Sun-Di's.

You stand atop the mountain. The Dragon Lord is bleeding and helpless for but a moment, you ready your Spatial attack. You could crush him right now. You could kill him!

"Tch, Yes sir."

Sun-Di returns to her consciousness. You see something coming at you from the corner of your eye-

*Slap*

Fei's strength outperforms your own endurance, and you feel that now.

"Listen to me! Repeat after me! I promise to not kill our allies, less I prove myself a traitor."

"I promise to kill our enemies, and show them as traitors to the family."

"Why? I thought-"

"I can revive him. For now, we need to go to the Dragon Lord's mountain."

"Oh? I'm repaying this favour now? Understood! I shall inform Zurowh of my decision to take some paid leave."

"Good to hear it. I can work on taking a ship."

"Well I am not going! A Heavenly. God. Is. Dead! You killed him! We could have sorted this with Father!"

"I suppose that is your choice, but imagine for a second. If that man had done those things to Jiang, what would you have done?"

"I-I would have d-done the same!"

"You fool yourself! That girl was like me in lots of ways. She is like a sister to me."

"Dammit! I guess it's paid leave for me too. This might take...a week at most?"

"Fine. I need to make a call." You pick up your communicator.

"Master. The Dragon Lord is dead. I have killed him, he took the amulet I sent to his disciple and challenged me and a few others."

"Fuck! Holy shit! Uh. Uh. Just wait there! Let your pride consume you for a second and don't bother with those weaklings."

"No. I am making the trip to Dragon Mountain. Go to the Hanger if you would like to help."

You end the call. You have made your mind up.

Nah, killing him was actually pretty good. Fact is, we accomplished the impossible. Nobody under Heavenly God should be able to kill an Heavenly God, unless one is a genius. We did while being super-low level and with three Heavenly Kings. We should hang his body at the town's gate, with a sign saying "Offend the Angel of Death, DIE" and spread the world. After this, the only people attacking us will be Peak Heavenly God experts, and those people wouldn't really do it, except maybe the Dragon clan, but that would be idiocy on their part -- even one of those wouldn't survive the Demon Hammer/Zou-Dou-Shai Tag Team, and we're basically unkillable. Trust me, I am a Xianxia World PR Expert, I went to the Yan-Di School of Taoism and Scheming. By the way, who thinks we should eat the Old Lizard and use its neidan to cultivate? That would be an hefty power-up before the final battle.

we killed the leader of a Dershwa allied faction in the middle of the war, capturing him and asking fro arbitration from the otehrs would have been much better for the current situation. Demmon Hammer outirght told us he cant help us with the dragon clan cause of politics. And dude I have read everything written by Er Gen, I Eat Tomatoes, and about 7 other assorted xianxia works, I really think trying to act like we are in generic Xianxia is a really bad idea thats gonna get us killed. Also HJC doesnt have eating dantian of others for cultivation, adn even if it did that woulf be an Evil element technique. Long is gonna be pissed at us and we are prob gonna be forced to rez him and pay reparations for this whole fiasco after the war

Evil element is the one with devouring, other elements cant eat cores for cultivation, thats never happened in quest. We have used machines to get bonuses to HE training but thats it
