Date Wednesday, August 28th, 2261

  The very day, I found myself right back at the genesis foundry.

  I did some thinkiweeerday and on the card ride here. I'm going to put off creating the teique for a few hours, so I focus on designing the many ons I have in mind. Ohose designs are produced and being manufactured by the automated manufacturing maes, I return to making my new foundation teique.

  My first task to aplish today figured out, I went to the pnning ssh rexation area of the property and got both Alid her sister Bel setup on what they ress on.

  "That should be it. Let me know if you guys enter anything you need my assistah. I'm going to go work on some on designs."

  "Will do." Alice responded sweetly.

  "Okay, I will, big brother." Bel said cheerfully.

  Walking off to my personal office, I sat down in the fy bck leather office chair and directed my focus to the task at hand.

  ...

  W away for the following four hours, I finished up a good number of the designs I had been w on in my head fod knows how long. With all the designs on paper and made in digital form, I sent them off to my robots so they could begin produg them.

  While my robots and automated manufacturing maes were w hard on their newly assigask, that will result in a whole new assortment of oing added to my stantly growing arsenal by the end of the day, I left my personal space to have lunch with my two panions.

  "You guys ready to take a break for lunch?" I asked the two girls.

  "Yeah, and I got a few questiarding a couple of things I came across." Alice responded, still thinking of what she was learning about.

  "Nn, I'm hungry, big brother Dom. What are we having for lunch?" Little Bel asked cutely.

  "Whatever you want, sis." I answered, rubbing the blonde, blue-eyed twin tailed little girl's head.

  "Hehe."

  Setting off for the kit in the rexation area, I prepared a rge lunch for the three of us. After eating and feeding the two hungry sisters, I resumed progress oing my magic teique. Although, in a different part of the facility so I wouldn't get Alid Bel involved in the side effey experiments.

  From where I left off previously, I pretty much figured out how to gather mana from each element. The only issue I'm having with it is getting the mana to stay together. And until I resolve that, I don't particurly want to find out what happens wheuffs an unstable bunana particles of each element in their mana core.

  Yeah, I'd rather not cripple myself right from the get go. So sihat's the case, I'm going to o do a bit of brainst to e up with a solution to this issue I entered. Thankfully, I already have a few ideas, so I'll try those out first ohered mana outside of my body and go from there.

  Standing in mines, I utilized both of my thought processes and started out by simultaneously sending out two strands of ral element mana. trolling the both of them, I sent them forth to the desired particles and grabbed hold of the ones I wanted. I did that another 15 more times and had one of each element gathered in 15 seds ft.

  Now that the preparations are pleted, let me perform the first of my tests by adding rotation to them. Hopefully, I see some sort of positive result from this.

  Beginning to add rotation to the 17 different element particles, I didn't see any genuine ge from what I had seen previously. Thus, trying something else, I ordered them int and rotated the ring of them simir to a tornado, just not as violently. Letting the ring revolve for a few minutes, I discovered that lining them up in a circle and having the tinuously revolve seemed to have dohe trick.

  However, as soon as I stopped sustaining the rotation with my own mana, the mana particles I had gathered flew off violently in different dires. Even more so than when I buhem up together yesterday.

  Well, that didn't work, but I think I'm on the right track. Let's try adding magiations to it o sustaiation.

  Speedily gathering the particles that had gone flying off, I got the riup and created a simple rotation formation midair to keep it going, at least until the mana I used to make it ran out. The single formatiohe ring of 17 different elements going until it eventually depleted all the mana I had created it with, as expected.

  Yeah, this is the right route to go down. Now I just have the issue of sustaining the rotation to resolve. Hmm... I'll just bihe rotation formation with a mana gathering formation to sustain it that should get the job done.

  ...

  With the new formation designed and branded upon my mindscape, I regathered the particles and got them going again for the third time this day. Adding the formatiht after it kept the ring of 17 mana particles going minus the previous issue and tio do so with no end in sight.

  Let's try adding a few more formations to speed things up. I want to see where the limits lie.

  Implementing that idea immediately, I jured up 3 formations and evenly distributed them around the ring, speeding up the rotation speed by 300%. No issues popping up with the additional speed, I decided to add more and more formation to see where the limit was. After adding seven additional formations, it destabilized firing the mana particles in all dires, causing sizable dents iunnel walls.

  Mm, maybe I could make a new spell from this but that wait till aime. I still o refihis foundation teique of mine.

  Not satisfied with what I created so far, I recreated the ring again with ten of the sustaiation formations. Although this time a bit further away because I was going to throw in a whole new formation into the mix. Quickly designing a densing magiation that could sustain its effects off of the ambient mana in the surrounding enviro, I added it to the existing ten formations that were hard at work.

  The sed the new formation was implemehe ring of 17 different mana particles closed in on each other, causing the ring to shrink in size. it for a while, I didn't find any issues cropping up, thus I added another densing formation to see where the limits were, just like I had doh the rotation formations. Implementing oer the , the ri redug in size with the many elements growing ever closer to each other with each additional formation I added.

  After letting my mana regee for the umpteenth time, I added the huh densing formation. The moment I did, the many elements that morphed from a ring to a sort of jumbled mess started spazzing out crazily.

  Uh oh. That 't be good.

  Seeing the experiment beginning to go south, I ied my own mana into the many densing formations, upping the pressure they were exerting in an attempt to keep the elements from firing all across the miunnel. I did that for what felt like an hour before the jumbled mess emitted a blinding light.

  God damn, that's bright.

  Shutting my eyes and turning my head away from the painfully bright light it rodug, I stood there, paying close attention to the bright, glowing mass. But heless primed and ready to dash off at a moment's notice if it looked like the formations weren't going to be able to keep this thing under trol.

  I stood there for several minutes or so before the mass of mana particles began to calm. And as soon as it had, I reopened my eyes and looked upon the perfectly round, pitch bck sphere that was letting off a somewhat dim multicolored light.

  I didn't expect this result, but it does look promising.

  Curious about the oddity I created that I had zero knowledge of, I started up my researcher mode once again by first ridding it of the formations to see if it was stable or if it required the formation to eve.

  Once I elimihe st of the magiations, I watched the bck core closely, looking out for any potential issue my creation might possess. As the miicked on and I tio observe it, nothing I could perceive as a problem occurred and it just kept slowly spinning in pce.

  Not letting up on my observation, I watched it for the hour and discovered the sphere was growing ever so slightly the longer I stood there.

  This thing may possess the ability to let me passively cultivate without having to do a damn thing. That's holy amazing.

  Hmm, what should I ... I don't want to something stupid like the almighty overlord element or some other name just as retarded so I'll just call it the all element sihat is what it's posed of.

  My new element named I returo experimenting with it and quickly found that the all element particle could absorb and grow with all mana particles no matter the element. Upon making that find, I persevered in my experimenting and when I was eventually satisfied and was sure I could use it for all types of magic; I started the process of abs and iing the all element particle into my mana crabbing hold of it with two mana threads, I brought it towards me.

  When it arrived at my chest, I passed it through my body before I absorbed it into my mana core and positio in the ter of it, where my ral element mana was. As soon as it came into tact with that mana, they were near instantly absorbed and added to the all element mana, further growing its size by at least five times what it reviously. With my old mana verted over to the all element mana type, my system started spammih notifications.

  [ral Element Mana verted To All Element Mana][+20 Mana][Ding New Perk!][Name Your Newly Created Mage Cultivatiohod]

  Not bad for two days' work. What should I his new cultivation teique of mine... It doesn't need a plicated name, so I'll just call it the all element core teique. Now let's check out that new perk.

  Excited to have received a perk out of the blue, I opened my system to see what the addition's effects were.

  | All Element Mana Geor | Your newly created cultivatiohod has given you the ability to cultivate mana passively at a rate of 24 mana per day. In addition to that, because of the properties of your new element, your mana regeion speed is increased by 1,700%.

  Yeah, that's some insane mana regeion. But that aside, it appears I'll be moving through the mage ranks after all, although passively, since I still won't have much time to spare for it.

  Alright, that appears to be everything I return to what I o do before I got sidetracked with this magic stuff.

  More than satisfied with the mage cultivation teique I created, I left the mining tunnels behind for the facility. Passing by a few of my robots on the way, that begarag resources from the tunnel and ected cave system withi day or so. I found my way back to the foundry and got to work on assembling more multibots to speed up produ. Although, in all hoy, I was really making them because I needed more workers to begin strug the new additions I wao build.

  Spending basically the rest of the day assembling robots, I mao out 5 multibots at the end of it. If this was before, that sort of produ speed wouldn't have been possible. However, thanks to my ret power up, I was now able to aplish such feats with ease. If I had spent the entire day assembling them without a break, I could no doubt throw together 24 of them by the end.

  That about does it for today. I'll tinue adding to my growing robot army tomorrow. But before I head home, I'm going to go check out the neons designs I introduced to the produ line.

  Getting up from my personal workshop, I walked to the main manufacturing area a right to the on racks and tables that were holding my creations. Once I reached the spot that was used to stow the ons temporarily prior to them being brought to the armory, I picked each of the neons up and gave each of them a solid look over.

  Not bad, not bad, but I'm not satisfied yet. So I'll tinue my on designing tomorrow since I've yet to make my primary ons and those ons I want to craft personally.

  Happy with what I saw, I tinued on my way to the pnniioo tell Alid Bel that it was time to head home. After doing so and giving gramps a call, the old man picked us up in his armored truot too many mier and dropped us off bae.

  Shameless plug, I have a Patreon you read ahead and support my work on. It gives you access to every chapter I have written across all my works, including those I've yet to release, and the ability to vote in monthly polls that will determine what I'll be w on for a portion of that month.

  If that sounds like something you'd be ied in, you find it below, in my bio, and on the discord server. Also, I run chapter annous through the discord, so if you want to know when the chapter is out, you find out there.
