The new luminar crystal cannon was complete.
Maow.
As a slightly tired-looking Alexandria retracted her design network and dove back into Gloriana's head, the entire workshop fell into silence.
The two mech designers already shut off all of the production machines and the assembly system had also returned to its dormant state.
The work that they had created over the course of a day rested majestically on a reinforced horizontal weapon rack that they had especially designed to accommodate the new creation.
The new luminar crystal cannon certainly needed it because it was both big and heavy.
"Wow." Gloriana uttered. "It is not a masterwork weapon, but… it possesses its own brilliance despite its imperfections. It is certainly the most beautiful weapon that I have ever helped to develop."
It was rather odd for her to forgo her complaints about falling short of making another masterwork mech or product, but she wasn't too concerned about that. Her god body application should ensure that the weapon should slowly be able to absorb enough worship to upgrade its physical qualities over time.
This way, time and energy would complete the work that she had failed to do during this design run.
It was an approach that Gloriana stole from— er, that is, gained inspiration from her husband.
In any case, if she wanted her new weapon to evolve into a masterwork over time, then it needed to acquire fame and earn the admiration of many different people.
This would require the Larkinson Clan to put conscious effort into making exciting recordings of the AMaranto in battle. The Larkinsons then needed to edit and propagate the footage in a way that put plenty of emphasis on the Amaranto's new ship-killing cannon.
Gloriana smirked. She knew that it wouldn't be as difficult to accomplish this goal as it sounded.
This was because she and her husband had already taken this need into account and designed the weapon accordingly!
Not only was the weapon meant to output powerful piercing energy beams, it had to look fantastic while fulfilling its primary purpose!
Ves had especially let his creative juices flow when he worked the luminar crystal exterior to make it as imposing and symbolic as possible. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
First, its size and dimensions already conveyed a lot of threat and power by itself.
Every human and alien could instinctively sense the danger posed by weapons, and it was undoubtedly a certainty that a weapon that looked as if a small warship cannon had gotten loose was capable of generating plenty of vigilance!
Second, he added in a lot of light sources that would allow the crystal weapon to shine in different colors along different points.
Though they weren't doing anything when the cannon wasn't being used, Ves knew that they would generate quite the lightshow once the Amaranto made use of the new weapon.
Third, Ves had added a lot of decorative elements to the weapon, causing it to look as if he had recreated a part of the Phase King in a crystalline form!
The torpedo-shaped muzzle of the giant cannon especially evoked the impression of a powerful phasewater-manipulating beast.
This was because Ves had worked hard to shape it into an exquisite reproduction of the head of the Phase King!
To be more precise, the crystal muzzle looked as if the powerful fish-whale king had opened its maw in order to release a powerful energy blast.
Though only the Cerebral King demonstrated this particular ability, Ves didn't quibble too much over it. The visual design he came up with was the only way to make the luminar crystal cannon look incredibly cool while also increasing its compatibility with the Phase King.
"It's a work of art." Ves praised his own work. "Blessed weapons such as the Gray Lotus and now this new luminar crystal cannon should always have a clear association with the source of their special power. If nothing goes wrong, this design approach will probably be the new standard for high-quality weapons in our clan."
Gloriana turned towards her husband. "That reminds me, you have yet to bestow a name on our latest work. Are you waiting for Venerable Stark to come and name her new weapon herself or will you provide it with your own label?"
He smirked at her. "We connected our minds to each other during the entire fabrication run. You should already know my decision."
"You have a shortlist of names in mind, though you haven't been able to make the final decision. You intended to wait until you completed the run and utilize the emotions that you are feeling at the moment to drive your final choice. What does your heart tell you, Ves?"
"My heart… is urging me to kiss you right now!"
"Wait, what?!"
Ves dove in and surprised his wife by capturing her lips with his own!
As the pair briefly exchanged their affection, Ves finally pulled back with a smile.
"Okay, that's enough. You have had your fun now. What is the name that you have settled upon?"
The mischievous husband grinned as he turned back towards his imposing whale-themed energy cannon.
