The same goes the other way around; one can transform into a giant, but cannot break through the limit of 2.7 meters.

It is also possible to, like a "Shape-shifting Demon", read the surface memories of a target in a very short time. However, if you engage in deep communication with acquaintances, it's highly likely to slip up, and aside from the aura, it does not possess the opponent's Extraordinary Ability.

Despite the strong abilities, Fleck, due to not having been trained as a [Special Agent] for long, is somewhat unrefined in his methods. The Mass Day, which should be common knowledge, was unwittingly chosen by him as the date of his operation, which caused a great blunder.

Of course, it might be a blessing in disguise. In the grand Mass ceremony gathering a group of high-ranking clerics from the Church, someone like him with no spiritual connection to the "Just Angel" was more conspicuous than a fly on a bald head.

Fortunately, after more than half a month of effort, the desired intelligence was still obtained.

Including figuring out what the group, merging with the "Lady Crow" and other Evil Gods, was planning to do on the Southern Continent. Which Evil Gods had gathered under the "God of Black Wings"? ...were crucial questions they needed to answer in their "Wind Sound Operation".

After the "God of Black Wings" transformed into the "God of Capital and Wealth", other True God Churches expressed their welcome. Yet, the subsequent continual recruitment of Ancient Gods and Evil Gods gradually drew the vigilance of the other True God Churches.

Especially with the appearance of the "Crowned Demons" on the battlefield: [Taunting Tunnel Forager] and [Withered Tomb Duster]. The Ancient God Descendant [Azure Beast], alongside all other entities except for that human Titled Knight [Northern White Wind], were mostly some dubious creatures.

This didn't align with the guiding principles of True God ruling over the world.

Initially, they all had to give respect, but now seeing a big sales opening like a wholesale recruitment of Evil Gods, no True God could sit idly by.

However, at this time, the "Wealth Church" had recruited several active Evil Gods after changing its identity.

Yet, they ceased activities right before other True God Churches could question them, seemingly knowing when to stop.

Even so, the overt Tier 4 power began to gradually rival the Hilus Kingdom.

But Aiven was not convinced they had truly reformed and specifically instructed the "Faceless Man" to watch for any movements.

When the sailboat completely left the vicinity of Camside City and entered an area covered by the [Mind Network], Fleck took out a [Communication Talisman] and sent out the pre-edited information.

Buzz——!

In this occupied territory, all "Faceless Men" operated independently, with no superiors or subordinates. To contact companions or pass intelligence, one had to leave the mission area and enter the [Mind Network] service area.

Although somewhat cumbersome, it maximized safety.

...

Whoosh!

"Wow, it's incredible, without relying on any magic, a heap of heavy steel can actually fly!"

Sitting in the cockpit of their dual-seater flying device, Olivia was soaring through the skies of the [Witchcraft Garden: Poseidya] with Aiven, covering a total area of 300 square kilometers.

"Hesi, I'm going to speed up."

"Giggling, faster!"

"Relax, the brakes work exceptionally well!"

Aiven quickly pushed the control lever, and the flying device dashed into the "Moon" orbiting the "Spirit Realm Sun's" projection in the sky, instantly arriving at another realm.

This place belonged to Olivia's [Witchcraft Garden: Chichen Itza Pyramid].

In three months' time, they had completely filled the material and put it to use.

A natural corridor formed between the two [Witchcraft Gardens], where distances could be infinitely long, requiring a lifetime of high-speed flying to reach the end; or infinitely short, where the ends of the earth were just a step away.

No matter how far apart, they could easily visit each other's [Witchcraft Gardens] without any permissions to close the passage, turning their respective [Witchcraft Gardens] into unfenced public spaces for each other.

After acquiring the "Zongderilic" technology, Aiven placed the first [Magnetic Ore] replica atop a pyramid in Olivia's [Witchcraft Garden].

It was emitting endless light waves, powering their flying device.

It needed no wires, solely relying on wireless power transmission.

Unlike the clueless aboriginals, Aiven understood the importance of efficient energy more than anyone.

The primary manifestation of global advancement was the elevation of the total energy level controlled by humanity, in both the extraordinary and mundane worlds.

From agrarian civilization using animal power, to the First Industrial Revolution ignited by steam engines, then to the Second Industrial Revolution sparked by electricity, and eventually to nuclear fission and ultimately nuclear fusion with the Dyson Sphere.

Aiven's past world development trajectory has validated this point.

With an infinite source of energy, many scientific bottlenecks would cease to hinder civilization's growth.

This is the key to the "Electric Era"!

Meanwhile, Olivia's awakening of the [Magic-like Technique: True Sight Demon Eye] brought Aiven immense surprise.

Using [Synthetic Gemstone] as the foundation of all subsequent Gem School Rune Writing, Olivia inadvertently claimed the school's top position and also gained the ability to analyze the world's elements.

With Aiven's suggestion: carbon, sulfur, copper, gold, and silver—five naturally occurring elements—the foundational step of the knowledge system named "chemistry" was taken.

In reality, they had already been using related knowledge unconsciously.

Creating their first synthetic gemstone, a red/blue sapphire.

Sapphire generally refers to blue corundum, as the blue color is most common, but in fact, sapphires include all corundum colors except red, such as green, yellow, purple, and colorless.

Corundum (AL2O3) itself is colorless and transparent, but when containing trace elements, it exhibits colors: red with chromium, blue with titanium and iron, green with iron, and yellow with iron and nickel.

With this theoretical foundation, Aiven eagerly anticipated Olivia's creation of an elemental periodic table.

Then illuminate the chemistry technology tree, potentially shining in various industrial fields such as rubber, petroleum, metallurgy, and pharmaceuticals.

The First Industrial Revolution was marked by steam engines, steamships, and trains, indicating humanity's entry into the steam era.

The Second Industrial Revolution was represented by electricity, internal combustion engines, airplanes, and automobiles, marking humanity's transition into the electric age.

Though the "Steam Era" had fallen into the hands of that "Alchemy School's" chief Crowned Wizard Menon Watt, Aiven and Olivia each obtained the keys to usher in the electric era, gripping the throat of productivity!

It depended on whether the mysterious "God of Black Wings" was playing "Civilization Rise" with them. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Suddenly.

Aiven was struck with a realization, discovering that Bess had relayed intelligence gathered by the first "Faceless Man".

"Mission deployment, 'Fog of Order' early infiltration mission, destination: Vice-Kingdom of La Plata... the operational setup must be completed by May 1, 191 of the Sea Origin Calendar? Hmm, three months later there will be a major move?"

With a flicker in his gaze, he speculated on the ancient god's conspiracy behind it.

"Order, investigate further!"

"As you command!"
