We are able to take over the outpost and clean the majority of the Grimm around the area. I also sent a small army of construction drones to rebuild and reinforce the outpost. So far, the drones have already done with the wall, and the Albain Twins are sending people there.
Turns out? That place is a former religious outpost. That is the place where the first Faunus Religion was born. Because of this, the Albanian Twins and their faction will take care of that area.
I am leaving the drone army under the Albain Twins' care because they want to design the new cathedral. Yup. They want to create a cathedral in that outpost. Of course, they will also want to create housing for their people when they arrive there, and that is another reason why the drone army is still there.
I shake my head and look at the construction in front of me. It is time for me to start taking Faunus to the stars.
"So this will be the one that takes us to the moon, Orin?"
I look at Ghira and nod.
"Yes. This will be the vehicle that lets us reach the moon. We are using Anti-Gravity technology to take us to the moon."
Ghira, look at the shuttle for a second before saying.
"It is not as impressive as I thought it was."
"What? An anti-gravity shuttle is not impressive, Ghira?"
"It is nothing like that, Orin. I thought it would be a massive tech, you know? Something that will inspire awe and shock. This looks like a regular bullhead, you know?"
I look at him for a second and release a sigh. He is right. In my decision to create the best thing to reach the moon, I created something that does not require a rocket. It can go from the planet's surface to orbit and fly to the moon easily by countering the shuttle's mass using the same effect of an element zero release.
While the tech is very impressive, the appearance of this tech is not very impressive. I release a sigh and say.
"You are right. Let's attach this shuttle to a big fuck-off rocket."
Let's attach a rocket to it if they cannot appreciate this. At least with this plan, the shuttle can reach even further than intended. It cannot explore the local solar system, but it should be able to reach the nearest planet and safely return.
"Anyway, I call you here to recruit five people to be the first ones to the moon."
"Truly? Why not you, Orin? You are the one who created this thing, after all."
"I would rather be known as the person making the tech instead of the one using it. If I were among the people who go to the moon, it would be detrimental to my research and tinkering. Also, someone needs to monitor the shuttle, right? It is safe, but I want to make sure."
"I see. I understand. However, why me? Why not go to the White Fang? They are more well-known and need that reputation."
"That is because I want to unify all Faunus."
I look him right in the eyes and say.
"I think it is time for us to become a new country, Ghira. For far too long, we have been the only nation in all but name. In the past, I understand that if we declare independence, we cannot ask for help from Mistral. Now? Now we are self-sufficient. We can become a country. Create our own identity."
Ghira looks at me for a few seconds and nods his head.
"You are right. Truthfully, we have been discussing this for a long while. It is time for us to stand on our own two feet. When can you finish the rocket, Orin?"
"Give me two days, and I will have your rocket."
"Two days, huh? That is too fast. Give us a month. We need to gather the others and even the reporter. We need to show the world our new status as a Kingdom. I have a connection with all the headmasters of the main Hunter Academies. I will invite them here and show them all the growth you have made on our island, Orin. What do you think?"
"That is a good plan, and that one month is perfect for me. I can start terraforming the desert."
"Terraforming what?!"
I ignore him and leave the room.
"Orin! What do you mean by Terraforming?! This is the first time I hear about this!"
I ignore him and think of my next plan. In that one month, I can make a lot of things. However, I need to prepare things first.
==||==
I hum a little at the box full of weapons in front of me. Today is the delivery day for the weapons for the company. I press the delivery button, but instead of making the box disappear, I can see Julia appear inside my office.
"It is nice to meet you, my lord."
"Julia, what can I do for you? I suspect you do not arrive here just to take the weapons, right?"
"That is right. I am here to inform you that the company now has access to the Warhammer Universe."
"Really? Does that mean I can get power from that universe?"
"Depend on the power, my lord. What do you need?"
"I am thinking of picking Power Swap with Primarch."
"Ah, that will complicate things because we only have one Primarch, Roboute Guilliman. He is the only Primarch that we can copy. The others… require a lot of subtlety or direct intervention from an agent. The higher patrons cannot get the sample of the Primarch. At least not without the intervention of the Chaos Gods and the Emperor of Man."
"How? Don't they watch Roboute as well?"
"Not when he first resurrected. At that time, the entire galaxy goes blind, and all kinds of prophecies get destroyed. We use that chance to take samples of his soul and flesh."
"I see. That means, the Emperor of Man is impossible, huh?"
"Sadly, yes."
"Well then, I will take the Power Swap with Primarch Roboute Guilliman. The points should be enough, right?"
"You have enough points to perform that, my lord. However, how about this? The higher-ups inform me that you can instead get the full power of Roboute Guilliman at once, without needing the company to trickle the power slowly and receive it fully, unlike power swap, where you need to train to reach the full potential of the person you pick. However, you will lose your original power as Captain Titus in exchange. We can sell the power to someone who wants it."
I think for a second and nod.
"Very well. Let's do this."
"Then, please cancel your origin and purchase the desired power for you to possess, my lord."
I followed her instructions, and after a few seconds, I pressed the accept button. A second later, I can feel something change within me. My body got bigger. Previously, I was slightly more than two meters tall; now I am more than three meters tall. My body is wider, and the muscle underneath my skin is tighter and more powerful.
Don't get me started with the power from the CYOA. I can already become ten times stronger than before. Don't get me started with the [Psychic (Pokemon)] power. At least, it is not something that comes from the warp because I can feel the connection between me and the warp of this universe, and my Psychic power from the CYOA is not coming from the warp.
Anyway, my psychic gets stronger. I think I can crush the shuttle with my mind or drill through a mountain just by my psychic power. If I am able to take Magnus the Red…
I shake my head and look at Julia.
"Fuuuu… Thank you, Julia."
"It is just business, my lord. However, the higher-ups have an optional mission for you if you want, my lord."
"Oh? Tell me."
"They want you to go to the Warhammer universe and take over a portion of the world for the company. However, you can take it after you create a good base here."
"I see. I will tell you guys when I am ready."
"Perfect! You don't need to rush things. There are countless universes the higher-ups can access, and time is not a problem."
"I understand."
"Is there anything else you want to ask, my lord?"
"Do you guys still need blasters? Or do I need to make other things?"
"At the moment, we are good. The agents manage to get a supplier. However, we do want power armor if you are able to produce them."
"Power armor… It is a bit difficult because I require the size of the wearer."
"Ah, you don't need to worry about that. We will take care of it."
"Then I will prepare a factory for power armor."
"Thank you for your hard work, my lord. If there is nothing else, I should return to the office."
I nod, and she disappears from my office.
When she is gone, I stand up and prepare to leave. However, before I can even take one step forward, my entire clothes are torn apart because of my new body.
"Ah, shit."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|3rd POV|
The facility is full of activity. With the new pilots training for the Skell Unit, there are a lot more people in the facility. The people here are busy carrying reports, going to the factory, or just looking around the public area.
However, all of those activities stop when someone walks to the public area of the facility.
All of the people stop whatever they are doing and watch as Orin walks through the facility. They look at him in awe. To the people, his aura has changed. Previously, his aura felt like a peerless warrior who had been through countless battles.
Now? Now they feel a sense of awe when they see him. It is as if a powerful being has descended from heaven and let them, mortals, see the visage of heaven. Orin's aura makes them feel at ease and confident for the future. He gives the feeling that they will prosper under his guidance and will always come victorious in any battles.
It also inspires them to be better Faunus. It pushes them to break the wall that prevents them from doing better for themselves, their family, and the other Faunus.
However, it is even worse for a Faunus with a semblance that can see an aura. The Albain Twin are the people who can see aura. What they see is a giant of a man with a blinding golden light behind him, destroying any darkness it touches.
Without them knowing, they are kneeling in front of this giant of a man.
Orin, walk toward them and help them get up.
"Please don't kneel in front of me."
To them, his voice is gentle like a breeze in the first spring. It carries a refreshing coldness, but also carries warmth after the winter. An energy burst from their bodies makes them feel lighter and makes their mind clearer.
They stand up and look at the giant. Because of Orin's body, they need to step back to see his face fully.
"While you are here, why don't you two follow me? I want to show you something."
They leave the facility and reach the barren land next to the facility. When they are a hundred meters away from the building, Orin releases an army of drones and starts to launch them.
He already prepares the land to terraform by feeding it a concoction that will make the land fertile. The only thing he needs to do is to spread specialized seeds that will grow in a matter of minutes.
And that is what he does.
The seeds land on the ground, and the drones water them with a special chemical that activates the growth.
The people who watch his action look in awe as they see the forest grow from nothing. The barren-looking land has trees growing from the ground, and they grow at a very fast pace. In a matter of three minutes, they now have full-grown trees.
The people who watch the forest grow look at Orin as if he were a God. In their mind, he is a God who descends to the mortal world. Combine it with his new aura, and that kind of idea solidifies inside their minds.
Without him knowing, Orin became the head of a religion. He became the Animal God of Faunus.
