The following is a flashback from no more than a few weeks back, around the ti Porcelain Doll and Corpse Doll were still settling into their new twin dynamic and were being given the ti to poke around the library.
...
[Whoa...this is the Library of Nowhere? It's huge!]
[It's big!]
[It's...insane.]*2
Corpse Doll and Porcelain Doll were both enamored and floored by the sight of the giant library that was the ho to every Kaijin Lord since ti immorial.
Through his subtle connection between the now twin protokaijin, he could tell that they were genuinely in awe of their surroundings.
As he watched the doll twins look around in awe and ask their senior kaijin questions about everything and nothing, Zhen Liu couldn't help but to bite back a critique in his mind.
Naly that, despite being twins, they were more like fraternal twins rather than actual twins. Then again, that could've been due to the fact that Porcelain Doll wasn't even his own creation. Hell, he was still trying to figure out how a cursed corpse puppet's opposite was a blessed porcelain puppet. It kind of made sense, but he still found it a little weird.
So much so that he posed a question to Logos and Pathos that he never thought about until now.
'Hey…is it at all possible to change a kaijin's physical attributes post-creation?' Zhen Liu asked. 'I an, I know their formulas are basically locked because it's their soul, and aether arts are obviously easy to swap, but I don't think I ever asked about the whole material form situation.'
=Technically no,= Logos answered first. =The main material, once chosen, serves as the anchor in which a Kaijin needs to maintain their existence in creation. Without that anchor, they beco unmoored and…well, you've seen the results.=
'Right…'
Pathos piped up.
'Huh…well, isn't that a coincidence,' Zhen Liu comnted as he rembered that the next destination for his rry band was going to be the Rainbowsmith's old domain of Rainbowden.
'Hopefully it won't be too much of a hassle to find…'
…Now back to the present…
Zhen Liu and Nepherage's coordinated strike had not only broken the barrier before them, but they had also burned away all of the sealing paper that was encasing the box before them.
This allowed the box to fully expose itself to Zhen Liu and the others, allowing everyone to see what was so damn special about it. Well, not that everyone could imdiately pick up its value or function at a glance.
"All of this for an empty…wait a minute, the box isn't empty…what the fuck am I staring at?"
"It looks like a…case molding?"
"Whatever it is, I can at least feel all of the [Chaos] radiating off of it."
As for the main man himself, Zhen Liu was busy digesting all of the information that Logos and Pathos had pumped into his brain the mont he saw what he had secured.
And what new opportunities laid before him.
...
Na: [Casting Mold of Creation: i
Incomplete]
Type: [Chaos Treasure]
Ranking: [Gold Equivalent]
Description:
One of the core beliefs of the Rainbowsmith was that one could always improve themselves regardless of their origin or limitations. The key was to find the right way that was unique to them, or find the right environnt. This [Chaos] treasure can temporarily create the space in which Kaijin can be created. However, due to the current state of the treasure only very minor changes can be perford at this ti.
...
'Incomplete, huh? I wonder why,' Zhen Liu thought to himself as he transford Nepherage back to her regular state.
Based on his own experience, this ant that the [Chaos] treasure before him was either purposefully left incomplete because the previous owner/creator couldn't figure out what he was missing, or it had been damaged at so point in the past that led to its current state.
Either way, it wouldn't really matter unless Zhen Liu could get the box back to the library for analysis.
"Hey, I'm going to open a door back to the library. Can soone help move this box?" Zhen Liu called out to his allies before he moved in to collect his prize.
"Aren't you crazy strong? Why do you need our help?" Zhen Xing asked as he walked over to assist.
"Do you see how wide it is?"
"Fair point."
Both Zhen Liu and his cousin were mostly expecting the casting mold to either be stuck on the ground in a supernatural manner or heavier than it looked.
There had been many recorded cases in the past of aether warriors finding all sorts of treasures in wandering ruins in very obvious places, only to get screwed over because of the treasure in question being significantly heavier than anticipated. Thankfully, that wasn't the case this ti around.
The casting mold was actually fairly light, and Zhen Liu and his cousin were able to very easily move it into the doorway to the Library of Nowhere.
Once it was inside, Logos and Pathos imdiately summoned so zakos to help move the mold to a more appropriate location.
=It's going to take so ti for us to install the mold and make sure everything is up and running.=
