Reincarnated With Three Unique Skills

Chapter 411 The Heart

"Why, Grandmaster Baldor? Do you have any problem that I am not aware of?" Aengus asked, narrowing his eyes at the giant behind him.

Baldor flinched momentarily before regaining his composure.

"Ah, no, no, Your Highness. You may do as you wish. But don't you think it's an overstatement to claim you can build a Heaven-Class Battleship by yourself?"

Aengus didn't seem offended. Instead, he smiled and turned to Hog.

"Oh? Was that an overestimation of myself, Elder Hog?"

Hog shook his head firmly.

"No, My Emperor. I believe you to be both wise and brilliant."@@@@

Then, his gaze shifted to Baldor, his voice turning strict.

"Grandmaster, why don't you follow the Emperor's wishes? Whether he succeeds or fails is for him to decide."

Hog's expression hardened.

"And if you are worried about any losses—please don't be. Everything here belongs to His Majesty, after all. Even your very own little life."

Baldor's giant frame shook, trembling with fear.

Without hesitation, he knelt, the impact of his massive body creating a loud thud that echoed through the underground harbor.

"I—I... Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" he stammered. "This will not happen again. We will assist you in every way possible!"

The other craftsmen nearby were stunned.

The haughty and domineering Grandmaster, who never bowed to anyone, was now kneeling before two humans.

It was unheard of.

Since many of them had remained within the underground city for a long time, the lower-ranked workers and craftsmen were not fully aware of the outside events.

They knew a new Emperor had risen, but they had never seen his face.

Suddenly, a few among them whispered to those nearby, revealing the identities of the two individuals standing before them.

One was Protector Hog, a legendary figure.

And the other one...Was the newly ascended Emperor himself.

The air buzzed with raw energy as the final structure of the Heart neared completion.

Aengus, unfazed by the overwhelming power radiating from it, continued shaping the divine construct with his own hands.

""Buzz, Buzzzz, BUZZZZZZ!"

With the final rune for energy flow inscribed, the Heart was completed. It hummed with power, sending out shockwaves of energy—even though it hadn't been activated yet.

"Success!"

Aengus put down the rune-maker like an experienced Runemaster, gazing at his creation with satisfaction. The Heart was finally ready—powerful enough to lift a Small World by itself. Though, thousands of Law Stones would be needed to fuel it each minute.

Despite the overwhelming aura it radiated, Aengus stood firm—like an immovable mountain.

The others with weak constitutions stumbled backward, kneeling on the ground as if the pressure was too much to handle for them. Hog and Baldor were the two exceptional figures other than him.

"Fabulous! Marvelous! Excellent!"

Baldor exclaimed, his big eyes shining with awe and admiration. He couldn't hide his fascination—the Emperor had accomplished something he himself had failed to do for ages.

Then, without hesitation, Baldor fell to one knee.

"Please, let me be your apprentice, My Emperor! I will be eternally grateful!"

Aengus gazed at him calmly, his expression unreadable.

"Sure... I will teach you. But I cannot be your master."

Baldor looked disappointed for a brief moment, but then nodded resolutely. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

"As you wish, My Emperor. I accept."

Hog, meanwhile, was grinning as visions of the future filled his mind.

"This is excellent news, My Emperor! With your guidance, our Empire might finally become the Holy Home of battleship creation!"

His aged eyes shone with hope and ambition as he continued excitedly:

"We could earn vast resources, develop our Empire into a powerhouse, rivaling even the Mechanical Empire and Celestial Empire in the future!"

Aengus smiled wryly at Hog's enthusiasm.

"Maybe..."
