"The reason this place is kept dark is that whenever it gets charged it creates a lot of light and if I add more then that would blind a person. Co on, this is the core of the whole technology." He led them to a chamber where in the centre of the room a small box was resting, thousands of pipes were connected to that box and they went into the whole walls around in the hall.
"I made this conductive stone, which soaks all the magic in and converts it into rotational energy. Rotation is only done because of the shape of the stone. As magic reaches it, the stones start to create a thrust of so kind from its lighter side.
"I am using it as a large turbine of sorts, which when rotates a motor I have enchanted. The motor creates enough energy to keep the house running." Nicolas explained to him.
It was truly an amazing discovery. This also changed a lot of things for Magnus. "Can I also learn this from you?"
"As long as you can. But if you want to research the Philosopher's stone and this as well, it will take a lot more ti." Nicolas warned him. But Magnus was no one to fear hard work.
Ragnar then requested, "Can we see your Philosopher's stone? I ca here for that after all."
"Sure, co with . I will show you my most prized possession, which has allowed to collect all kinds of knowledge and riches. But, creating it also took nearly my life." Nicolas was muttering about his past that didn't make sense to Magnus and Ragnar but they silently listened.
After a while, Nicolas brought him to the room where he had kept the stone in a jar. The only use to him for it was when he created the elixir. He didn't create gold though as he had plenty.
Magnus and Ragnar's eyes were widened so big they threatened to fall out.
Magnus was the first one to get a hold of it, "You know what, I do get the feeling of wanting to eat it. But I don't want to go through what Arthur did. But licking should not be a problem."
"DON'T! The tongue is too sensitive and if touched you will get burned." Nicolas warned him.
"LET SEE IT TOO!" Ragnar snatched the stone from Magnus and looked at it intently.
He chuckled with his plans in his head, "Hehe, this is gorgeous. If I can use it I'm my potions, I wonder what it will create."
"Miracles, that's for sure. Alright, now study this book. We will start formal training from tomorrow. These books have now been lost. I found them buried deep under the old Library of Alexandria. The content of these is runes." Nicolas threw two books at them.
They got busy after that.
...
Later at the lunch table, Magnus asked sothing to Mrs Flal.
He felt a little weird for so reason that they did not have any children in 600 years. "Umm, grandma, why did you two not have kids?"
She depressingly looked down, "Well, I guess heavens have a way to punish those who break heaven's rules. Just before we took that first Elixir of Life that would make us immortals, an old man appeared out of nowhere. He had a long beard, long hair, so kind of strange glasses on his eyes and he was smoking too. He was tall and his voice was so gentle yet earth-shattering.
"He warned us, that the price for being immortal is that we won't be able to have a child. He explained to us that we would be breaking rules by being immortal, and by doing this we could have thousands of family mbers, all immortal and living. It would be a danger to the world.
"We naively thought we would find a solution later, as we were young. But, we were wrong. That man was right all along."
"WAIT! Did that old man also call you my child or sothing like that? Did he also pat your head?" rlin suddenly asked.
They affird, to which rlin laughed, "Haha, that old man is probably still alive. I wonder who he really is."
"Did you an... you also t him?" Nicolas asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I did. It was a long story. Anyway, you continue your story."
But Mrs Flal instead asked rlin and Arthur a question, "Why didn't you two have children?"
"OH! I KNOW," Magnus enthusiastically answered.
"rlin and Arthur do not have children because they are interested in each other in all possible ways," Magnus claid.
"WHAT?! NOOO... ABSOLUTELY NO! I loved fine wine and woman." Arthur protested first.
Magnus looked at Ragnar and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Ragnar stared at the two in the portrait and answered, "Yeah, they seem pretty gay to ."
Magnus laughed and ate his food, "See, everyone thinks that."
But rlin denied, "NO! We didn't have children because we were impotent due to our highly strong magic."
"Yeah, sure, whatever lets you sleep." Magnus annoyed them purposefully.
Arthur agreed with rlin, "Yes, Magnus. We could not sire children. This was the price to pay for being powerful. Us three are not very different, Magnus... just like us, you are also impotent. This is the law of the world, strong can't be so strong that they ruin the world."
*TING*
The spoon slid down and fell on the floor from Magnus' hand. Shock visible on his face, stuck in the action he was doing before. Magnus's eyes froze, but the pupil moved frantically, processing the shock. Ragnar too was shocked, Flal couple as well.
~Oh no, I thought the other rlin had told him.~ rlin panicked in his mind, realising the aning behind Magnus' reaction.

[A/N: If you have not read the Grandpa Universe fic, then you won't understand this. Please skip it.]
[Omake with Grandpa Universe.]
Heaven,
It was a good day for the heaven dwellers. Grandpa Universe was, as always, getting an earful from his wife for not coming to dinner at the right tis. But his reasoning was also good, as, at this point, he had hundreds of Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great... Grandkids. Who would play with them if not him?
*Ting Ting*
Alexander heard his self-invented heaven's only smart tablet device. It was a notification. He opened the Godsend social networking app and saw who it was.
"Hmm? Odin the all-seer? What did he send... Pfft... WHAT IS THIS? BWAHAHAHA..." He howled in laughter on the throne.
A person's soul was standing in front of him for judgent, it got so scared of hearing Alexander's laughter that it kneeled.
"Forgive ... Oh, mighty one. I will never have any bad thoughts now. I don't want any wish, I don't want any harem. Just send to any world." The soul pleaded.
Alexander sighed, "Even after saying that you're thinking about sleeping with all the won. The only place for you is hell, son. May your soul get its atonent."
With a wave of his hand, the gate to hell opened and the soul vanished. Now alone, Alexander opened his close friend's group chat.
"Everyone, et at Olivia's garden for lunch. I assure you, you will die of laughter." He sent the ssage.
Gods were mostly bored people. So whenever they get a chance, they try to talk. So this ti too all ca at the correct ti.
"What happened?" The Old God asked.
"First tell where were you all this ti?" Alexander asked back.
The old God chuckled, "On a date."
"You've been on a date since I took over this office," Alexander argued.
The old god folded his arms and relaxed, "Well, there are so many of them."
"And most of them are married." Hats pointed out.
But God was uncaring and replied like a saint, "Well, marriage is not the last avenue, they want to explore more and I am helping them."
*Cough*
"Let's stop talking about my horny father, he's retired now. Why did you gather us? I was busy editing my crucifixion compilation video from each universe I've ever been to." Jesus asked him.
Alexander laughed and put the tablet on the table. Currently, around the table sat Ragnarok, Dobby, Olivia, Old God, Jesus, Buddha, Iroh, Hats on Olivia's lap.
All of them peeked at the screen and a second later they reacted.
"Pfft..."
"Ahahaha..."
"Amitabha..."
Everyone had a different reaction, but all howled in laughter like crazy in the end. They looked at the face of pure Dobby, trying to imagine the sa makeup on him.
"Hahaha... This... What a heavenly beauty she is." Ragnarok laughed loudly and took a sip of beer.
Dobby looked at the picture closely and said. "It's fake."
"No, it's from the alternative tiline 69420 of the pri Harry Potter Universe." Alexander cleared the doubts.
Dobby was a kind soul here. He couldn't understand why any iteration of him would like to be a servant so bad. After all, he always advocates himself as a free elf.
"Why did he do this to himself? What did he gain?" Dobby asked confusedly.
Alexander opened the control panel on the screen and showed the tiline of where it happened. They saw the whole scene happening once again.
"Haha, I like this Magnus boy." Ragnarok laughed out loud.
"He has dragon blood," Alexander revealed.
"Hah... No wonder he's so amazing. Only a dragon can be this cool." Ragnarok didn't even try to hide his bias.
Jesus patted Dobby's shoulder, "Perhaps you can do better with so feminine touch like this, my dear Sophia. I'm sure your wife will love it"
"Aw... don't bully poor Dobby like that. It's not his fault this one turned out so different." Olivia was the only one defending him.
"Have so tea and calm your mind, my friend. You need it after seeing this... creature." Iroh advised.
"ERASE IT... So demon has taken over this Dobby. Erase the tiline." Dobby requested with a solemn expression. He was trying to keep it calm, it was obvious.
Alexander laughingly denied, "I can assure you it's not a demon. And this boy Magnus... He's doing a really good job out there. I rember projecting my image down in this tiline once... or was it twice? Let's not ruin this tiline. Maybe soday I'll see him."
*BOOM*
"Hehe... Where is my hot and sexy elf woman? WHERE?" Deadpool barged in with an excited face and his own tablet showing the Godsend app.
Dobby blankly sighed, "That Odin bastard must have posted it to his public page. *Sigh* Now I will tell his wife about all his affairs."
This ans war now. Odin would lose his other eye too, it seed.
