Chapter 1276: 1276
Saleen knew what was going on in Nailisi’s mind, but he was unable to change anything . Nailisi was an imp, and Myers Mainland was not her home .

While demons had long lives, they were indifferent about life and death . Demons would not be sad after seeing hundreds or even thousands of their own die right before them . Unless such deaths involved their spouses, demons were not known for shedding tears .
Weird creatures!
Saleen thought that maybe Nailisi had the same thoughts about humans .
None of them spoke during the journey, and Saleen took the few at his side straight to Metatrin City . He did not even bother taking a detour to Lonestar City . Fycro’s news was just too shocking .
Saleen did not assemble the nobles after getting home either, going straight to meet his teacher to tell his teacher about what Fycro said .
Jason remained unperturbed . “Begin transferring the common folk immediately . Leave Nailisi and use her 12 Notes of First Purgatory to transport people to the interdimensional space . Don’t ever use the purgatory soul in the interdimensional space . Search your memory for anything useful . You’ll be able to create a world there . ”
“What about the Bug Angel Armor?”
“Get to it immediately . Don’t use metal . Make them with fossilized god fragments . Pick the right imps for the purpose from here on out . Their size makes them most suited for piloting such armor . ”
Saleen’s mind calmed . He had more to worry about than the abomination plane, as it was just the beginning . Fycro also meant that the powers of Myers Mainland would rise after December .
By then, there was no way to keep the portals sealed, and all kinds of peculiar creatures would flood Myers Mainland .
It had not been long since the last time Myers Mainland saw a spike in power, so there would not be many powerful ones on the verge of advancing . But it would be a different story later on .
The entire Metatrin City got busy right away . The crafting of Devil Flying Armors was shelved for the time being . The crafting process roles were assigned as soon as the schematics of the Bug Angel Armors arrived at the Alchemy Factories .

He needed to provide Fycro with 500,000 sets . Saleen was in no hurry to craft them for his own troops, and the selection of imps would take months .
Lex had to make her way to Metatrin City . She had to go to the northern side of Metatrin to take control of the Metal Titan to speed up the refining of metals . Huge number of demons were summoned, and the northern veins were being strip-mined . The only factor that mattered was speed .
The mining caused the eventual production to be reduced by about 30 percent, but Saleen did not care . If they did not dig then, they would have no chance in the future .
Saleen threw himself into the production of the Bug Angel Armor . The armor was peculiar and was nothing like equipment that he had seen before . Even humans would become bug-like when the armor was donned, developing omni-directional sight and devastating offense capacity .
Devil Flying Armor was only suitable for demons, but the Bug Angel Armor was able fit any kind of living creature . The insides consisted of machinery formed by round metal beads . When liquid was infused, an isolated pocket would form .
People could sleep inside, and it would feel more comfortable than a mother’s womb . It was piloted through senses and mental powers .
Imps were more suited to such armor . Without training, humans’ mental powers were considerably inferior to demons . Saleen had no time to train humans, so imps were the only way to go .
Saleen did not forget to upgrade his own lightning puppets . He changed the forms of all the puppets . All of their heads were installed with complex eyes . Saleen’s control over the puppets would be far easier .
Lightning Constellation finally had a very important use . The puppets lost their blind spots when fighting .
The abyssal soul was cut in half and sent to the Chaotic Swamp . Saleen accelerated the performance of alchemy . Over 2,000 mages were sent from Principality of Bitterwater and put to work in the Alchemy Factories .
The factories gained over 2,000 pairs of extra hands specifically meant for crafting the Bug Angel Armor for the Kingdom of Metatrin .
The remaining 10,000 were tasked with crafting Fycro’s military equipment .

Saleen had to hand over 500,000 suits of Bug Angel Armor to Fycro by September . He also made 100,000 suits for himself . All fossilized god fragments were reserved, and the Heaven Knight Armor was put aside altogether .
The Temple Knights of Nature Faith used Devil Flying Armor and Devil Possession Armor for the time being .
The fossilized god fragments were mystical . Saleen added properties of Heaven Knight Armor to the Bug Angel Armor that he crafted for his army . With that, all 100,000 suits of armor would possess powerful defense when used in Saleen’s territory .
It went without saying that Saleen had to test the armor’s properties . After the first set of Bug Angel Armor was crafted, Nailisi had an imp get into it and fight Jola .
The imp was only about 1 . 5 meters tall . After getting into the pocket, the spikes behind the Bug Angel Armor closed one by one, encasing the imp completely . The 12-legged bug angel came alive and pounced on Jola ferociously .
Jola did not use powerful weapons and instead used standard equipment of temple guards . The Qin greatsword, armed with piercing sword aura, was brought down onto the Bug Angel Armor .
The armor split, and the imp within shrieked in terror, but its cry worked through the armor instead .
The noise made everyone’s eardrums hurt, and everyone within earshot felt rather dizzy . Any warrior below level nine would probably be dazed for half a second .
Jola’s hand was several frames slower, enough time for the imp to twist around and evade the killing blow . The magic nucleus embedded in the Bug Angel Armor’s internal space melted a bit, patching up the crack in the armor quickly .
Saleen was astounded . While such methods of repair were wasteful, it made the patch incredibly resilient, as if a layer of magic nucleus was coated on metal . Furthermore, it was done frighteningly quickly .
It was both a huge waste and a huge finding .
Jola landed over 100 slashes, which made the Bug Angel Armor even more resilient . That was why Jola refused to kill the imp . On a battlefield, the Bug Angel Armor would not be able to resist attacks from a level ten true might .

“Contact the Winged Skull and tell them to devote their time to hunting . I want more magic nuclei!” Saleen ordered . He found that the Bug Angel Armor had depleted over 100 magic nuclei after being attacked by Jola . The entire set of armor glittered, crystallized all over .
There was no way Jola would be able to cleave the armor open with a single strike anymore .
The more frequently the armor was attacked, the more resilient it became . It was no wonder that Fycro said that Saleen had a lot to gain . Only Bug Angel Armor crafted from fossilized god fragments would have such properties .
If they were made with metal, their recovery rate would be faster and cost less, but the armor would et be weaker .
The Winged Skull was puzzled about the reasoning behind such an order, but they immediately mobilized all ships and began to hunt magic beasts in the Oceanic Ice Block .
The magic beasts there had increased to terrifying numbers, but the Winged Skull was equipped with the Reaper Scythe and hunting magic beasts became easier than cutting grass . The warships were simply following behind to pick up the dead bodies .
There was a noticeable shortage of metals in the alchemy factories . Saleen tested it and found the shell of red krill to be a decent substitute, albeit a rather expensive one .
It was fortunate there were so many red krill . Saleen decided to exclusively use their shells to craft Fycro’s Bug Angel Armor .
There were many shells left, which were used to create larger versions of the armor . The armor could fit several imps and could be donned by supreme demons .
The best version, after undergoing many tests, was still the standard Bug Angel Armor .
However, Saleen had no concerns about waste . He crafted 200 large versions specifically for Nailisi, letting her select supreme demons to wear it . To the supreme demons, the Devil Flying Armor was not that practical, but the Bug Angel Armor hardly had weaknesses .
Jola found it difficult to cut down the supreme demons wearing such armor, even if they were only level eight or nine .
All grand swordmasters at Saleen’s side were assigned from the army, and were ordered to give their all to attack the special armor . In September, Saleen would finish the 100,000 suits for his own use when he was done crafting 500,000 for Fycro .
The other 200 sets were suits of Crystal Bug Angel Armor crafted from crystals of very high purity .
Saleen imbued dark space magic patterns on all of the suits . While their physical defense was only marginally strengthened, their defense against energy attacks reached baffling levels .
The defensive capacities were built upon huge fuel cost . Every single set of Crystal Bug Angel Armor needed to be fit with 12 magic nuclei above level ten . Only then would they be able to resist magic attacks above level 10 .
Nailisi patiently moved Saleen’s subjects using the 12 Notes of First Purgatory . Saleen did not prioritize the transportation of warriors and transported farmers, smiths, some mages, and apprentices first .
Saleen left anyone with any measure of fighting capacity behind in Metatrin City .
Fycro came to Metatrin City personally, taking all 500,000 suits of Bug Angel Armor with him . Saleen only brought 20,000 sets with him and went to look for Grand Duke Iron Blood, when he found that there were a few problems with his armor .
He had no time to look for trouble with Alchemy City, but Imposa would definitely have time . Imposa controlled massive numbers of Iron Blood warriors, and they were all capable of piloting the Bug Angel Armors .
Saleen only brought Nailisi with him to Grand Duke Iron Blood’s Palace At Sea .
Grand Duke Iron Blood had made the Palace At Sea into a fortress . The magic cannons that he bought from Saleen sealed the port without leaving any exploitable angles . Every spot that could be landed on had a huge number of magic cannons installed nearby .
The Grand Duke did not seem to want to attack anything, but wanted to make it a point in his line of defense!
“Saleen, I’m happy that you found time to see me!” The Grand Duke received Saleen with a loud laugh . There were already four level ten sorcerers behind him . The Grand Duke’s forces had grown since they last met .
