Chapter 409:A Storm On the Rise.
"Above!" Aengus commanded, pointing toward the vast expanse of space.
Bella smiled, her dark angelic wings unfurling, wrapped in the fiery essence of Fire Law.
"Okay then, let's go, hubby!" she said playfully.
Aengus took her hand, and in an instant—
Whoosh!
They vanished, leaving behind a blazing streak of fiery light.
It wasn't teleportation via Space Law. It was their sheer speed, so fast it defied mortal perception.
Within moments, they were already several light-years away from the Dual Continent.
There, Aengus and Bella floated in the vast emptiness of space, facing each other with confident smiles.
"BOOOM!"
A blinding explosion of energy and power erupted as they clashed!
Aengus wielded the Water Law, while Bella unleashed the Fire Law, pushing it to its absolute limits.
Even though Aengus was holding back, their collision was akin to a supernova, where opposing elements met in a violent reaction, spreading their essence across the cosmos.
Despite the immense force, Aengus remained unscathed earning a look of relief and admiration from Bella.
"You can't even make me tickle with that, my wife," Aengus teased, his confident smile unwavering. "You should try harder."
Bella giggled melodiously.
"Hehe... Alright then... let's see just how strong you are, husband!"
With that, she attacked again, fiercer than before.
Her strikes were destructive, relentless. And Her charm as an Enchantress enough to drive even the strongest warriors to madness.
Yet—Aengus countered each of her attacks effortlessly.
One moment, he used Time Law to pause, rewind, and foresee her movements.
The next, he manipulated Gravity Law, altering the force of existence around him.
As for Space Law, he was no longer just a master.
With every breath, he could feel his connection to the very fabrics of space itself growing stronger.
Booom, boom, boom!
--
Like this hours passed.
Their clash continued, fiercer than ever, reducing the nearby lifeless planets to mere ashes and debris floating in the vastness of space.
When they finally stopped, silence returned, as if nothing had ever happened.
Aengus and Bella knelt together, gasping for breath, staring at each other.
"Let's go, Bella. That old man is getting restless," Aengus said, extending his hand.
Bella took it, flashing a gentle smile as she wiped the sweat from her brow.
With that, Aengus used Space Law, and in the blink of an eye, they appeared on the Kievan Imperial Continent.
"Whoosh!"
"Ah, Your Highnesses! You're here—I was just about to look for you myself."
Grand Commander Hog let out a breath of relief upon seeing them.
He was seated at a desk, exhaustion clear on his face, with stacks of paperwork lying before him.
"I know. That's why I came." Aengus took a seat at the table beside Bella.
"Now, tell me—what is so urgent? And where is Albert? Wasn't he supposed to help you?"
"Albert? That boy went to run some errands for me. He has been very helpful while you were away in seclusion," Hog said with a sigh. "But that's not the main issue. We've discovered signs of unrest along the borders with the Blue Moon Empire. They might be preparing for an attack on our empire. This could be disastrous in your absence."

"Blue Moon Empire? Such audacity." Bella's eyes flashed coldly as she sat gracefully, exuding a domineering presence. "What's the Emperor's name again?"
"Your Empress," Hog addressed her respectfully, "his name is Kalix Yvon—commonly known as Emperor Kalix. He's a Nebula Dominator who wields both Water and Earth Laws. His dual talent makes him a formidable opponent. And we shouldn't underestimate his army fleet either. We are at a disadvantage in terms of battleships and military numbers."
"Oh? Then why don't we build some battleships ourselves? Are we short on funds?" Aengus frowned. "That shouldn't be the case—I haven't even touched the development funds."
Hog let out a weary sigh. "That's not the issue. We simply lack the technology and skilled manpower to construct Heaven-Class battleships. As of Divine-Class battleships? That's completely out of the question."
"Divine-Class battleship?" Aengus leaned forward, intrigued. "What do they look like? And does the Blue Moon Empire have one?"
"No. Fortunately not.
A single Divine Class battleship is easily comparable to a powerhouse beyond the Nebula level, reaching the fabled Black Hole power level in terms of destruction. It can erase constellations with a single strike. It's truly terrifying. I heard only the Dark Ferals Empire possesses one, but I haven't seen it in person," Hog replied solemnly.
"I see… Do we have blueprints for making Heaven Class battleships then?" Aengus asked, his mind forming a daring plan.
Hog paused, watching the Emperor curiously. What was he planning to do with the blueprints? He wondered.
Still, he answered, "Yes, I have two blueprints, but they aren't very advanced. What plan do you have in mind, Your Highness?"
Aengus smiled. "Nothing much. I'd like to try building a ship myself."
Hog's eyes widened. "By yourself? Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting your intelligence. But can you really handle such an intricate task? And alone on top of that?"
"Who said I'm alone?"
"Who said I'm alone?"
"Who said I'm alone?"
Suddenly, multiple clones of Aengus appeared seamlessly, their voice echoing in the room.
Hog was utterly astonished, his heart pounding erratically.
He could see it clearly—these clones were no mere illusions.
They were all real.
Their power was real.
"This… this is…" Hog's voice trembled slightly, unable to hide his astonishment.
Bella had no reaction whatsoever. She had seen them before after all.
Aengus chuckled, his clones smirking in unison. "I don't plan to build the battleship alone, Grand Commander. My clones will assist me. And I will soon get some more experienced allies for the task."
""So, are we enough to build a battleship now?"
"Ah, of course, of course. There's no harm in trying. Maybe with your help, we might even be able to build one more Heaven Class battleship," Hog replied, though he still found it hard to believe.
Building a Heaven Class battleship required months of effort, exhausting amounts of resources, and unmatched intelligence in manpower, after all.
But Aengus didn't care about Hog's disbelief.
Once he made up his mind, no one could stop him.
"Very well. We will start this project at once," he declared.
