When Serafall appeared in the workshop at her regular time she noticed that the place was empty…
The place where the design table and the computer were, is empty. Whereas the main area where the suits are stored has not been changed, Mark I and Mark II are still there.
The current Leviathan was confused that her Master was not doing something related to the genetics that he has started delving into.
Even to this day, she has no idea why he was working on that…
Nonetheless, she won't be questioning any of it. The black-haired devil lady knows better than to just ask things. Because for one, she will get lost in his explanation. And second, for better or worse she doesn't want to know, because it's most likely going to be very groundbreaking and she will need a couple of days to get over it…
So, she would rather just wait for his reveal…
Though, she still needs to figure out where her Master is. After several years with him, she knows his schedule like the back of her hand. So she should know where he is going to be.
But, today was different. She thought that he would start working on something with the Sword Birth he acquired or some genetic nonsense…
Besides she has some information on that Cao Cao fella he asked…
"Hmm, where are you Master~~~?"
Serafall started walking around the workshop main floor. She checked the main area, the testing room, the summoning/ritual room, then she walked to the back towards the kitchen and bathroom all of which were empty, there was not a single soul there…
'Strange… this is far too strange… he would have notified me with his connection through Ars Goetia…' The older Sitri looked around for a bit more. She then tried to sense her Master to find out where he was and once again... the workshop is far too… magically amplified for her to find him!
This is one of those weird feelings that she gets whenever she is in the workshop, she feels human. Her power here means quite simply nothing… her master regularly makes things at the Ultimate class…
And even then, a tool of that level barely enters his radar.
'Well… I should probably check downstairs…' The black-haired devil lady sighed as she turned around and started walking to the back of the workshop where the stairs are.
She knows quite well that she is not allowed to go down there regularly.
For one it's where the Diamond Core Heart, the database and the assembly line is located.
The reason why she was not allowed there is that according to Marcus' words, a klutz should not be allowed to get there regularly …
Why he thinks that she is a klutz is beyond her…
Nonetheless, she will do a quick check and then will try to use their connection to contact him.
The beauty gently and quietly descended to the lower floor. She noticed something almost immediately…
The lighting in this area, more specifically the corridor areas, used to be almost nonexistent. Her master always loved the whole barely any light in the heart of the base thing. There was only ever some light on the floor so that people could see some of the path they were walking.
However, now that was gone, and the area had actual proper lighting.
Realising that yes, this is where he was, Serafall immediately gained her confidence and walked down at a much quicker pace.
Her eyes widened when she saw a brand new corridor! It was twice as wide! She looked around for more and saw that the corridor which led to the Diamond Core Heart and the rest was gone!
Instead, she found a door which appeared in an area far away from sight and was crafted from some sort of metal. She assumed a new brand of alloy?
'What on earth is he doing… more expansions? Is he building a supervillain base? I won't be surprised, in truth… With him anything is possible… It wouldn't be a shock if one day he wakes up and decides to take over the world just to find out how the nations around the world would act to his declaration of war…'
Serafall shook her head as she started walking down the wide corridor.
Soon enough a few moments later she heard sounds of hammers and the noises of metal cutting and melding…
Her eyes widened and she rushed forward with an extra step. She heard the sound of multiple people working. And she knows that Marcus is always doing things alone but now this!?
Once she arrived at the much wider area, almost as wide as the whole workshop upstairs…
'Is this…' Her eyes scanned the whole area and saw… something akin to a railway station…
"This is a railway station…" She looked around assuming she was standing on the platform area, walking forward she saw the rails or she assumed they were supposed to be rails but it was more like a platform of some sort… like the trains are going to be sliding on it or something like that…
'He won't be making regular trains, that's for sure… assuming it will be floating or something like that…' Once she closely inspected the area, she saw… robots… humanoid robots using magic to drill the tunnel and more robots to assemble the rails…
This was… approaching realms of true sci-fi in her eyes.
Robots? As in real robots… making posh armour is nothing new to her. Well, not at Marcus's level, but armours are nothing too fancy… but properly functioning robot-like workforce?
'Marcus… he is building his faction… with his bare hands… this is like the Biblical God all over again!' Serafall thought with sweaty forehead, this was something she expected. But she thought he would only start doing this when he was in his twenties or thirties. But he is moving way faster than she had predicted!
How did genetics push him to expand? Making robots? This doesn't make sense to her at all!
Eventually, she found him at the end of a platform with a tablet in hand, doing something. He even had his glasses on. From the looks of it, he was in his designing mode. Only this time it was designing…on a grander scale…
Serafall quickly tried to sneak up on him… keyword 'tried'…
As her instincts already told her that he was aware that she was there.
"Master! I wasn't around for a day and this is what I found~~~? You're building railways!?" The current Leviathan hugged him from behind as she was now smaller than him so she was leaning onto his back.
"Yep. I will need a much bigger facility for processing information. Genetics needs a lot of processing power. It will take 34 years just to process mine. Not to mention, altering and improving. So, I decided to finally expand. I will build a processing facility, a space launching platforms and docks areas." He explained casually to her.
"Maybe even build up a new workshop along the way. Since having my place so close to my parent's is quite dangerous." He added more on top.
"I see…" Serafall slightly sweat dropped hearing that. Space launching pads? He was planning to go to space?
This was the first time she heard that!
"Space launching pads… and docks? You never mentioned those! And here I thought you were telling stuff to your girlfriend!" She said with a pouty tone.
"Just came up with the docks recently… I am thinking about diving as the suits' pressuring tests are much better deep underwater than in space. Besides, there are so many sunken ships… just itching to be rediscovered and brought back up for fixing!" He said the last parts excitedly.
This reminded Serafall about how males sometimes have weird tendencies to collect things… Does her Master have a thing for ships? Or more specifically sunken shipwrecks?
'Well, it's better than world domination… still through… will he bring back the Titanic? It's a kind of symbolic ship…'
"Like the Titanic? Are you planning on bringing it back to the surface and fixing it?" The black-haired devil asked him curiously. Pity that she wasn't there when that ship sailed for the first and last time. The movie however was quite good.
"One of them, yes. I am thinking of bringing back the Titanic, Bismarck, Musashi, Yamato… those are the first." He mentioned from the top of his head.
"I only know the first one. How are the other three special?" Serafall asked with a curious look. Especially hearing the Japanese names.
"They were the world's biggest battleships. They were really big, no nation builds that size anymore. Instead, they build aircraft carriers. That's why I want to get them." He said with a shrug.
"Men… and their toys…" The beauty sighed hearing that they were military ships…
"You have no idea… I was thinking of doing that with cars… but meh… diving into the depths of the deep sea. Pulling up wrecks and then rebuilding it with state of art magic and technology...now that is beautiful…" Marcus said with a dreamy tone.
And Serafall instantly felt a chill going down her spine…
