Saint Aiven City, White Swan Castle.

"Your Majesty, please take a look! This is our first design plan for the [Super Dreadnought: Crown Prince], which has undergone significant improvements based on the [Dreadnought] and [Post-Dreadnought Level].

I dare to assure you that this represents the technological limits of human science while ensuring mass production."

Sedric, the chief of the "Mechanical Immortality School" and an academician of the Engineering Institute, respectfully presented a blueprint to Aiven.

As for the name of this shipbuilding plan, it comes from the Duchess and the warship's materials manager—Olivia, highlighting her resentment.

'Give the great "God of All Things Fertile" a Divine Son that is a [Divine Creature] from birth? I don't know if I'll have this fate in my lifetime!

If he has the ability, make my land fertile first, bad guy! Does this really have to happen in my lifetime?'

On the other hand, Aiven himself, although he has completed the [Truth Embodiment] and become a demigod, has not affected the original structure of the Duchy's governance at all.

The "Father of Creation" was already the belief of many citizens, only being replaced with the name "God of All Things Fertile."

Now, those who should know already know, and those who don't have no need to know. On the secular level, he is still Duke Galliot.

Whatever needs to be done continues to be done.

"Hmm, this design..."

Aiven scanned the complex mechanical blueprint, his eyes brightening.

[Specifications] Length: 177.8 meters; Width: 29 meters; Draft: 8.7 meters; Full Displacement: 28,900 tons.

[Power Plant]: 12 oil-fired boilers, 2 Watt Type IV steam turbines, 2 gear transmission cruising steam turbines, 26,500 horsepower.

[Military Preparation]: Equipped with 10 356mm main guns, two dual-mounted and two triple-mounted main gun turrets, symmetrically arranged fore and aft; 21 127mm guns, 2 76mm anti-aircraft guns, and 2 533mm torpedo tubes.

[Armor] Main protective armor belt 203 to 343 mm, chimney outer wall 305 mm, gun mount 343 mm, turret 127 to 457 mm, almost half a meter thick at the thickest point.

[Speed]: 27 knots.

[Crew]: 864 people.

The larger caliber guns and stronger armor were the essence of the "giant ship cannon era," but the most crucial innovation was replacing the "coal-fired boiler" with an oil-fired "fuel boiler."

Although the boiler afterward connects to steam turbines that both use steam as power, due to the higher calorific value, the full load of fuel on this battleship can almost reduce the payload by one-third compared to full coal load.

Also, the "fuel boiler" is smaller and lighter, allowing more weight allocations for armor protection, increasing available space for storage, accommodations, and building watertight compartments.

Safety and comfort have greatly increased.

Additionally, using fuel reduces the time for resupply operations for the battleship, making refueling at sea more convenient. Even the number of required boiler workers is only about half compared to the previous "coal-fired boilers."

"Good, the design is finalized, and the construction of the first [Super Dreadnought: Crown Prince] can begin.

Whether this can surpass the trend led by the 'God of Steam and Mechanics' depends on you!"

Aiven gave high praise to the design from the Engineering Institute. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After signing the documents, he also issued another document to Sedric, granting the release of the fantasy metal "titanium alloy."

[Gem River] frequently sweeps the moon for autumn wind, various precious rare metals providing great support for her growth, and it shouldn't take many years to undergo the first division.

Over the years, the "titanium" brought back from the moon has also been stored in considerable amounts, sufficient for a large-scale project.

Titanium alloy has an extremely high strength yet only sixty percent of the density of steel, with excellent mechanical, toughness, and corrosion resistance properties.

Though difficult to cut and process, the "Life Tree School" already has a large group of Official Wizards who can use "Activated Spiritual Light." To them, processing materials of high strength is just a piece of cake.

The strongest representative of current technological levels, [Crown Prince], combined with this dreamlike metal, is enough to outclass all conventional warships.

Sedric bowed and assured:

"As you command, Your Majesty, leave it to us.

In steam engine research, we indeed can't surpass the 'God of Steam and Mechanics,' but the internal combustion engine is the standard of the electrical era, all others are merely heresy!"

...

Click click click...

The mother and daughter, dressed in black skirts, slowly walked out of the Wizard Tower's gate.

"Phew! The end of an era is also the beginning of another. Where the 'Gem School' will head next depends on you, Little Hesi."

Nymph gently exhaled, taking her daughter's delicate hand. Countless emerald-colored butterflies began to flutter around them as the [Dream Tour] quietly activated.

"Of course, Aiven is waiting for me ahead, how can I possibly stop here? Besides, the previous headmaster really helped me a lot, it's a pity I couldn't thank the old man in person."

They had no emotional waves during the condolence process for the previous headmaster of the "Gem School," Kishua Beinogu.

This upper-rank wizard, with limited talent, had been stuck at the Tier 3 Peak for far too long, his soul collapsing and returning to the Netherworld, without involving any melodramatic plot.

Olivia, during her Tier 3 promotion ceremony, automatically gained the substantial position of "Headmaster," holding the sole ticket to ascend the [Truth Embodiment].

Moreover, thanks to Aiven's support, she already possessed the power of Tier 3 Peak.

Whether it was secular status, Extraordinary Power, or financial resources, she was completely capable of leading the entire "Gem School" anew.

The "Gem School" members, spread across the Material World with vast potential influence, were all genuinely devoted to Olivia, making the process of inheriting the legacy extremely smooth.

Of course.

None of this had anything to do with her husband, who had already advanced to Tier 5 [Truth Embodiment], not at all. Honestly, not at all!

After hosting the memorial ceremony for the previous headmaster as the new headmaster, Olivia naturally obtained the most precious treasure of the "Gem School" —[Gate of Hidden Treasures]!

Inside lay the collective assets accumulated over thousands of years by the "Gem School," especially jewels, antiques, weapons, and various witchcraft tools imbued with historical depth, significance, or involved in major events.

Only with the gem sword, symbolizing the headmaster's status, could one open this secret vault full of treasures.

Giving it a cursory glance, Olivia couldn't help but have her breath quicken.

Among them, there was the Seal Ring of the first Pope, Saint James, of the "Dawn Church"; a self-made telescope left by the great scholar Nicholas, who first proposed the heliocentric theory;

The long sword worn by the first Emperor of the Holy Rosar Empire, Gaius Flavius, at his coronation; the Ship's Figurehead of the first ship to achieve intercontinental navigation, "Pingta"...

Even the civilization's origin, obtained by Chandragupta during the Maurya Dynasty from the Storm Belt, this world's first[Purple Lacquer Inlaid with Mother-of-Pearl Fish and Algae Pattern Golden Treasure Box]!

Long thought lost to legend, who would have guessed it would fall into the hands of these wealthy "Gem School" owners.

If they were all converted into Golden Lions, it would be a terrifying wealth that could even make the gods gasp.

However.

The principle of this treasure trove is that it can only be entered and nothing taken out unless under special circumstances.

The millions of years of preparation are to serve the promotion ceremonies of certain outstanding members during their ascension to "Crowned Wizard" or [Truth Embodiment].

[Ultimate Creation: Rose Mother], a purplish-red crystal radiating a rainbow gradient, possesses the ability to permanently grant any matter an independent soul and formidable strength.

Therefore, to advance to "Crowned Wizard" or to complete [Truth Embodiment], besides necessary knowledge, requires spending a lot of gold, quite a lot indeed!

The last time it was opened was for the promotion ceremony of the last "Crowned Wizard" in the school, which was at least three thousand years ago.

Nymph and Olivia, transformed into emerald flowing light, vanished in the bizarre dream realm.

In this place devoid of spatial concepts, crossing the entire Material World back to the New Continent would take hardly a moment.

However.

Toot! Toot——!

Accompanied by the turbulent sound of steam whistles, dull gray waves spread rapidly before them like mist.

Simultaneously, the air from all directions seemed to solidify and swiftly decay, then start peeling away like stripped wall paint.

Revealing a dark, foggy, unknown space behind it.

Then, like a giant mouth suddenly closing, it instantly swallowed the emerald flowing light.

[Divine Skill: Dream Erosion]

Completely blurring the lines between reality and dream, those engulfed would fall into the Dream Beast Cage controlled by the "Deceitful Dream Sect," becoming helpless lambs at the mercy of others.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!....

Gray mist surged as thirteen bishops of the "Deceitful Dream Sect" emerged in full force, riding on gray-white giant squids known as [Dream Guards], descending before them.

"Hehehe, this world is under the Main God's control, no one can save you. Beautiful ladies, please come with us."
