‘Success’ I celebrated getting a positive response from the fire elemental broken rune spirit. Devouring the soul pathways of the Volcano Lion Beast Will the fire elemental broken rune not only gained the memories of the Volcano Lion but also its intelligence raised by a margin.

Conforming that the broken rune has gained the memories of Volcano Lion beast will. I order the broken rune spirit to take the form of the Volcano lion using the new memories it gained. Following my order, the broken rune spirit dissolved its humanoid shape and turned into a Volcano Lion.

‘Yes’ Seeing the broken rune shaped in Volcano Lion form jump around in the calamity daughter gem, I cheered. Using the memories, the broken rune gained not only the beast shape but also all the fire-type skills and wild instincts of the Volcano Lion.

With the form and the instincts of a Volcano Lion, the fire elemental broken rune no longer would have a problem with the controlling and maneuvering of the beast-shaped mecha body I would be creating for it.

The success of the experimenting on Fire Elemental broken rune proved my theory, avoiding the trouble of creating a separate secondary AI for the Control and Pilot system of the beast-shaped mecha body.

Putting aside the Volcano Lion Calamity daughter gem, I extracted the other two broken runes from the rune jewel into two separate Calamity daughter gems. And with the help from one of my slave consciousness, I simultaneously introduced the soul pathway of the beast wills of Terrain Back Tortoise and Gale Eagle to their respective broken runes.

After the broken runes digested the soul pathways of the beast wills they devoured, I ordered the earth and Wind elemental broken rune spirits to dissolve their humanoid shape and turn into their respective beast forms. Namely Terrain Back Tortoise and Gale Eagle.

Completing the three beast-shaped broken runes for the Mecha cards, my attention turned to the old rule power generator ingredient card. Thinking about reverse-engineering the old rule power generator, my head hurts. But still, I had to because I had no choice as it was either this or nothing.

*Sigh*, letting out a sigh, I placed the rule power generator ingredient card into the creation page of my golden grimoire. Three are three primary stages to reverse engineering anything,

1. Implementation recovery

2. Design recovery

3. a.n.a.lysis recovery

These three stages are the exact reverse of the stages for any engineering process. Namely, a.n.a.lysis, Design, and Implementation.

Implementation recovery is nothing but figuring out the applications of the structure that you want to reverse engineer. And based on the application of the structure and its components, you determine and prepare an initial model for the structure.

In the case of the rule power generator, I did not have to research its function and application as it came with a user manual. I scanned through the user manual using the hive AI and uploaded all the related information to my mind. Thanks to the soul pupils and the user manual, I did not have a problem coming up with an initial model for the rule power generator.

The next stage was Design recovery. This stage involved undoing the mechanics of the structure. In layman terms, I had to open up the structure to its individual piece. And try to figure out which price went Where? Why? And how it operated. This was the most time-consuming thing of all three stages, as resolving any foreign critical mechanics of the structure would be complicated and complex.

Fortunately, the user manual came with the design for the rule power generator. Labeling each component, its purpose, application, and maintenance. With this information, it did not take me long to undo the rule power generator soul pathways to get the individual components. I did not have to worry about missing anything or forgetting what went where because the hive AI recorded everything. If I forget anything, I could refer to the recordings.

Having the user manual saved a lot of time and stress. Done with Design recovery, I moved to the next stage of a.n.a.lysis recovery, which was to use all the information gathered in the last two steps and develop an error-free model for the structure.

For this part of reverse engineering, I used the simulation function of the Hive AI to come up with the original model of the rule power generator. And to make sure the reverse-engineered model is working as effectively as the original model. If not, there must be an error that had to be rectified.

After running 19 failed simulations, I finally reverse-engineered a model with an efficiency rate closer to the original model. The difference in the efficiency rate was just a narrow margin. If I had more time, I would have stuck to getting the exact efficiency rate, but I was tight on time now. And the current efficiency rate was enough for the mechas to provide a satisfactory demonstration to Anna.

*sigh* I sighed in relief, deciding on the final model for the three new rule power generators I was about to create for the mecha cards. If I had more time and knowledge on my hands, I could have developed a more efficient model, but alas.

[ A-rank Brootonium card x 200

A-rank Skywire card X 50 ]

[Card name: Brootonium

Card type: ingredient card

Card rank: A-rank, Rare grade

Card rate: -/-

Card durability: [97/100]

Card Info: One card contains 1000 tons of Brootonium ore. Brootonium is an excellent and resilient metal ore. Used to create weapons and armors. ]

[Card name: Skywire

Card type: ingredient card

Card rank: A-rank, Rare grade

Card rate: -/-

Card durability: [97/100]

Card Info: One card contains 1000 tons of Skywire ore. Skywire is an excellent and resilient metal ore. Mainly used in alloy with Brootonium to create weapons and armors. ]

Brootonium and Sky wire are rare metal ores mainly used to create rare grade weaponry and armory. And right now, I had enough of them to make alloy steel to create three beast-shaped against mecha bodies.
