"Maybe in the near future, my lord. At the mont, the space available is heavily dependent on Lady Lilly's progress. I believe once she ascends to the next level, the space available will grow exponentially."
Making small talk with Exa, I navigated to the Faker section and grew surprised at what I saw. Originally, only a large number of bone-colored Halberds were present. Now there were Faker weapons of all types.
They were all stored neatly in racks and had labels on who owned what. The most nurous were scimitars and bucklers used by the Yuddha Raksha. There were also greatswords, daggers, katanas, and finally rapiers.
As I was checking our warehouse, I saw three rapiers suddenly appear in a nearby rack.
"Wow, is that how stuff is added here? This must be the one Terence's team just finished."
"Yes, my lord, it is as you have surmised. Although this is rely a representation of what is currently happening. In truth, they are all in a pocket dinsion flowing like water in a soup-like space."
"Right… Thank you for creating this VR room. It makes understanding what we have much easier."
Pleased, I continued to look around. I saw hundreds of ammo boxes beside the cold weapons. They were labeled 'Faker Rounds.' I opened so of them and saw the white-gray-colored bullets of different calibers. Aside from the weird color you would not thing they were special.
"Excellent. Van and Terence are working hard."
"They are. Much of the efficiency is due to the Derycks' help and production lines," Exa explained.
After checking the food, fuel, and raw supplies, Exa took to the Sacreds section. There I saw the thousands upon thousands of rounds kept on shelves. Even more were stored in boxes. The sheer number of Sacreds present practically blessed the entire room.
But then, sothing caught my eye. I noticed a bunch of ingots stacked together. I approached and took one. Much like the bullets, these tal bars also radiated powerful blessings. I felt my body being cleansed just by holding it. Exa, who noticed my reaction, explained.
"This is one solution the Saints are currently exploring. Rather than bless a bullet, they bless the materials that make up the round and have humans put them together afterwards. At the mont, the output from the new process is more efficient by 134%."
"I see. That is a smart move. If size doesn't matter, blessing this huge ingot would be better. Exa, please update daily on our progress toward the Antarctica Reclamation quotas from today onwards."
"I understand, my lord. Leave it to ."
"Thanks for everything that you do, Exa. I feel like Hellsend is really on you a bit too much. Are you sure you aren't working yourself too hard?"
The maid in front of smiled as she shook her head.
"No, my lord. I am all right. The children are just as eager to help . It is partly why I agreed to Lady Bella's request to use {Replicate} on my systems. Their improved version can aid in managing Hellsend. As for my reward, you already know what it is."
Nodding, I gave Exa a hug before disconnecting.
"Yeah, it is part of our shopping list with Zach. You will get it for sure. I will get going now."
"Goodbye my lord. May your fate end the darkness."

When I felt my mind return to my body, I flexed my fingers to check if I was back. I don't know if it was the {Code} family. I could barely tell the difference between cyberspace and real life.
I soon found Juno and her ten sisters waiting for . Fearing I might have taken too long, I quickly checked the princes. But, instead of being fully healed, they were still in disgusting puddles. The sa ones were still grafting themselves back together.
"Juno. I have verified our weapons, and I personally do not mind giving your group access to them. But I want to confirm, at the mont, aside from you and Roach, none of the other Awakened have {Call My Na}, right?"
"Yes, my lord, that is correct," Juno answered.
"And what is it you ask for? I am fine just loaning you the weapons without having them take my blood. Or do they also wish to officially subordinate themselves to ?"
"They wish for both, my lord. The power that Roach and I wield has convinced them. Even if they follow my footsteps and ascension exactly as I have, without your powers it will not be enough."
"You are aware of how dangerous it is to ask for my power. At the mont, only you and Pixie have been able to see what it can do. Have you told them? Do they wish to take my blood, knowing that this power has a price?"
Few would be comfortable allowing others to have a gun to their head. {Call My Na} granted anyone imnse power. But it also placed a gun to your head. Originally, it had {Kill Switch}, which was locked by the {Seal of Seven}.
But ever since I steeled my will, there has been no lock to speak of. I alone could kill anyone so long as my blood flowed in them using {Sins of Limitless}. Juno saw how helpless even the B-rank Noble Vampires were to my {Kist}.
If they truly wanted to still ask for my power, even knowing the risk, then I see no reason why I should refuse. But they would need to have imnse trust in to even consider it.
At my words, Juno bowed her head and continued, "They are aware, my lord. And they do not care. In exchange for power, none of the Awakened would mind."
"Very well," I agreed.
I took out a jar with my blood in it and handed it to Juno.
"This is my blood. Use it as you see fit. From this point on, if you find anyone who is willing, you may give it to them. Whether you tell them about the cost is up to you. As for your request for weapons, I permit you to retrieve whatever you need."
Juno took the jar from my hand reverently. "Thank you for your trust, my lord! The Awakened will never forget this kindness."
I nodded and looked towards the sky. IF-Restore switchblades flew nonstop and bombed the living shit out of Number 2. There were still a lot of dical drones still available.
"Exa, heal number 3 and support Juno's Vithriss unit. Have them use whatever they need."
[I understand.]
Juno and her sisters then picked up the pieces of the princes and took them outside. A few minutes later, they returned carrying standard XM7 rifles loaded with Sacreds. They also had Faker rapiers hanging by their waists. All of them now radiated with {Call My Na}.
The Vithriss took Number 3 and healed him. When the demonkin was in fighting shape, the Awakened began to use the Dream Demon as a training dummy. It was interesting to see forr monsters do European fencing on top of shooting out Sacreds.
With them out of the way, I signaled for Alfonso to continue.
[Understood, Father. Exorcising Assistant Number 4. APFSDS firing.]
My son then proceeded to perform the most Arican style of exorcism to date. A few minutes later, two more dream demons lay in pieces. Their forr hosts were also in pretty bad shape. Which was why I had Exa blow them to kingdom co with IF-Restore drones.
With all four princes free of malice, the next order of business arrived. Do I kill the demonkin or try to leverage them more?
"Decisions, decisions," I muttered.
