The natural empire, the northern polar continent.

"Buzz~~~"

A fusion nuclear explosion occurred deep underground, with an equivalent of about 500,000 tons of TNT, 40 times larger than the previous one.

The reason for using this thing is that there is a deuterium extraction factory in the empire with a large deuterium output.

The second reason is that this thing is cleaner and more powerful than a fission bomb.

After the explosion, Rosen waited for a long time and then checked the artifact furnace.

The result was nothing.

Unfortunately, the first synthesis failed.

What to do? Of course, continue to explode.

'Buzz!'

"fail!"

"Buzz!"

"fail!"

This time the goddess of luck was not on Rosen's side. His luck only started to improve when he exploded his fifth fusion nuclear bomb in a row.

After the sixth fusion nuclear bomb exploded, Rosen opened the artifact furnace and took a look. Wow, there was a three-meter-long life branch as thick as a thigh lying directly inside.

No, this should be called the trunk of life.

After testing the performance, I found that the quality of the trunks was also very good, obviously better than those made from fission nuclear bombs.

It's just too big and inconvenient to use.

"We need to change the structure of the artifact furnace and make the finished product smaller."

As for this tree of life, it will be given to Cavendish Laboratory for use.

After the transformation was completed, Rosen continued to create the Tree Branches of Life.

Five more fusion bombs exploded, detonating all the fusion bombs brought this time.

His luck also started to improve, and he directly created 9 branches of life, all of which were of very good quality.

After finishing it, I did some calculations and found that the total cost was 6 million Oggs, which means that an average branch of life tree costs 600,000 Oggs.

'This method of creating a divine weapon is too inefficient, wastes too much energy, and has low controllability.'

"We need to develop a better artifact furnace."

This matter has been put on the agenda of the Natural Empire, but it is very difficult and no one knows when it can be actually accomplished.

Carrying a life trunk and nine life branches, Rosen returned to Swan Castle.

Of course, the best quality one is for your own use.

Rosen distributed the remaining 9 to the country's cutting-edge magic laboratory.

I gave one to the Cavendish Laboratory, one to the Bell Laboratory, one to the High Energy Magic Laboratory, and one to the Potions Laboratory. In short, I distributed them all.

There is no fixed user of the artifact. If an experimental project needs it, the project leader will write an application.

If you pass the assessment, you will get temporary use rights of the artifact.

The first branch of life, which was also the one of the worst quality, was taken out and exchanged with Adela.

The last time Adela left, the two agreed on how to contact each other.

So, after everything was ready, Rosen took the tree branch of life and directly performed a plane transfer according to the plane coordinates given by Adela.

After the transfer was completed, he came to Adela's life plane.

To be more precise, it is to come to an uninhabited desert island in the plane of life.

First, he waited patiently for three hours until his soul's vibrations calmed down and he could perform phase shift again. Then, according to the agreement, he placed a communication device on the ground and activated it.

After half an hour, he felt the magic ring vibrate slightly, and a strange ball of light appeared out of thin air under a big tree not far ahead.

Rosen made sufficient preparations before walking into the ball of light.

After passing through the light ball, the light and shadow suddenly changed.

The deserted island turned into a magnificent palace, and on the throne of the palace sat a charming woman in a blue and white off-shoulder low-cut dress, who was none other than Adela, the goddess of life.

She looked down at Rosen and said with a smile, "Compared to the last time we met, you have become stronger."

This is natural.

Because Rosen is constantly optimizing his body and improving the performance of the Supreme Crown.

Whenever the empire has any new research results, as long as they are useful, he can use them immediately.

As a result, his current soul strength has reached 15.1, and the gap between his soul size and Adela's has also narrowed a lot.

He was too lazy to say more, so he took out the branch of life and handed it over: "I brought the things, what about you?"

Adela raised her hand and took out the Endless Compass.

This thing looks like a round plate with a diameter of 20 centimeters and a thickness of two centimeters. It is silver-white in color, and a faint platinum glow is surging on the surface.

Rosen took a closer look and was immediately disappointed: "It turns out to be a first-level artifact."

Adela raised her eyebrows: "Heh~~~ His Majesty the Emperor actually picked it?"

Rosen did not hide it: "I got the news that Atumen intends to use a second-level attack artifact on me."

Adela understood, but a trace of helplessness appeared on her face: "As for the Sword of Annihilation, I know. I also know that outside the Abyss, there are only three second-level artifacts."

"One is the Sword of Annihilation, another is called the Rainbow Battle Axe, and the last one is called the Divine Fall."

"Among them, the Godfall is the most mysterious. No one knows what it is, but there have been seven Void Gods who died from it, six powerful gods and one great god."

Rosen frowned and said, "Since you know about the Nirvana Artifact, and you came to remind me before, why didn't you tell me?"

"Because the power you showed before is not enough for Atumen to use the sword of annihilation. Besides, Atumen is not in the Nawat plane, right?"

Rosen handed over the Life Branch and took back the Infinite Compass: "Can you tell me who has these three second-level artifacts?"

"Of course, this is not some great secret."

"The first two belong to Gomilel. The last one belongs to the witch Palomenas. This is why Gomilel is afraid of witches."

"Do you understand the attack method of the Sword of Extinction?"

Adela spread her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know about that. I'm afraid no one knows because everyone who knows is dead."

Rosen had an idea in mind and had asked all the questions he needed to ask, so he got back to the point.

"So what is the function of this endless compass?"

Adela smiled and said, "Sorry, I still don't know."

"?"

This answer was far from satisfying Rosen, and it made him feel that Adela was just trying to please him.

"You are the holder of the artifact, how could you not know?"

Adela showed a trace of embarrassment: "To be honest, I stole this artifact from the Lost Plane. I have studied it for 50 years and still don't understand its purpose."

"The reason why I call it the Endless Compass is because it is shrouded in endless fog and its true appearance cannot be seen at all."

Rosen turned the endless compass over and over again and tried to inject magic power into it, but there was no abnormal reaction, as if it was just an ordinary stone.

"What a random name. I thought this thing was super awesome."

He felt like he had been cheated, but he was a man who respected contracts the most.

Since the other party strictly abides by the contract, he has nothing to say.

He carefully put away the Infinite Compass and said, "Then I'll take it back and study it carefully."

After saying that, Rosen prepared to leave.

"etc."

Adela called to him.

She stood up and walked towards Rosen. "I heard that you have mastered the ability to manipulate the magic ring?"

Rosen responded vaguely: "There have been some explorations in this area, and there have indeed been some insignificant results."

Adela shook her head: "This is not a trivial achievement, this is a great achievement, and it is a necessary achievement."

"Because this is an ability that must be mastered to enter the astral realm, or even the abyss."

"At present, no one except you has mastered this ability."

She walked up to Rosen, circled him, and finally approached him from behind. She whispered in his ear, "The abyss will not remain sealed forever, because the beings in the abyss always want to get out. Sooner or later, they will find a way to open the abyss."

Rosen raised the alert level of "Heart of the God of War" to the highest level: "I have anticipated this, and I am also doing my best to promote related research."

Adela sniffed behind Rosen's ear and chuckled, "I smell the scent of Sarah. It seems that you have tasted her. Is she much better than an ordinary woman?"

Rosen shrugged: "Each has its own beauty."

Ectoplasm is more active than elements, so the intensity of stimulation is higher after all. Anyway, it is very stimulating.

"Haha~~What a romantic emperor."

Adela turned to face Rosen, with her back to him, and walked back to the throne in the palace with her slender waist: "Go back, but don't forget the trip to the Lost Plane in three years."

"Of course I won't forget."

Rosen glanced at Adela's back and said, "Well, I'll take my leave now."

He withdrew from the magic circle, immediately activated the phase transfer, and headed straight for the high-energy magic laboratory with the Endless Compass.

On the other side, Adela watched Rosen leave, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited patiently.

Ten minutes later, a figure appeared in this empty and magnificent palace.

At first, the figure was wrapped in a ball of purple light mist. When he took a few steps forward, the light mist dissipated, revealing a woman with a strange shape.

The woman wore a pointed wide-brimmed hat and a ferocious fang mask on her face. She wore a gray cotton open-collared robe on the outside, tight shiny black leather armor on the inside, and a pair of high-heeled leather boots on her feet.

She paced with a graceful cat-like step, and the soles of her high heels tapped lightly on the palace floor, making a crisp 'click~click~click' sound.

"Is this the great mortal you spoke of?"

The voice is gentle and soft, just like a cat acting coquettishly.

Adela nodded: "From a mortal's perspective, isn't he great enough?"

The strange woman shrugged slightly: "That's true. But you really like to meddle in other people's business. I was planning to have some fun with him, but you insisted on stopping me."

"He's very busy and doesn't have time to play with you."

"Of course, I know this won't convince you. My real reason is that if you really want to kill Gomiler, he will be your greatest helper."

The woman spread her hands and said, "What a tempting reason. Well, I won't disturb him from doing his work."

"But if I ever find myself free, I'll have to have some fun."

Adela sighed: "The gate to the abyss is about to open again, and you still have the time to play around?"

The woman turned and left, waving to Adela as she walked away: "I am different from you."

"You like to plan everything, and you would like to plan for a hundred years."

"But how can we mortals calculate everything?"

"It is better to enjoy life while you can, lest you meet your destined death someday without having enjoyed a single day of happiness."

Having said this, she waved goodbye to Adela, and a ball of purple light mist surged around her body, and then disappeared.
