"Alright, then." Jack reached on his desk for a piece of paper, and then placed his finger on the parchment. He moved his finger swiftly, as he expertly wrote in the Voidic language the requirements for the column, the size of the area, the location of the City, and the materials necessary.

Jack found that this was easy for him to accomplish ever since he received the prayers of his undead followers and his God-Soul. He, also, wondered if he could perform the same actions as his followers... If this was possible, then did this mean he could complete other talented type actions? He then decided later he would try his hand at something artistic.

Jack then handed the parchment to Lucius, "Make this happen."

Lucius quickly looked over what was needed, as he looked up in astonishment. "My lord... Some of these materials are... No longer available!"

"Hmmmm?"

"Like... Bonesteel ashe mix! This was used to construct ancient cities and would be great to use again, I'm not questioning that... But the alchemical formula to produce it was lost with the fall of the Lich King if I recall correctly." Lucius freely spoke his thoughts.

Emily awoke and listened to what was being said, though she stayed in Jack's embrace. She felt really comfortable laying within. She felt a type of warmth being radiated by Jack... Like some of her novels would speak about what living creatures felt laying in the sun.

"What else?" Jack asked, after listening.

"Well... I can substitute the dragon bones for holy bones, without much loss... Otherwise, We will need to deal with Dragon's Jaw on a massive scale."

"Alright, then it's just this Bonesteel ashe mix?"

"For the most part, yes." Lucius nodded.

"Tux, define Bonesteel ashe mix." Jack turned to his laptop.

"Reporting to Creator! Bonesteel ashe mix is a compound made from various creatures to create a liquid that can be poured into the shape of anything the builder wishes. It was used during the height of the Lich King's Reign and was lost during his fall. At that time, it was used to build large and small structures alike and was favored for its speed of use and setting, as well as its toughness and weight supporting ability." Tux finished.

[Concrete?]

"Tux, what was this material made from?"

"Tux can only deduce a rough estimate of composite based on accounts left within the ancient tomes. It is believed that it was made of Lich Dragon sinew, Enchanted Bone ashe, and blood sacrifice to bind it together."

"I didn't know it was such a dark material... This causes me to look at the ancients in a different light, my lord." Lucius said solemnly.

"We don't need to use or look for such a style of material. I have a better material We can use."

"???"

"It's called Concrete in its simple form, but after my modification, We will call it Holy Concrete, because... God-King."

"Holy Con... Crete...? How does it work?"

"Exactly the same as Bonesteel ashe mix, but without all the tedious mucking about."

[Good thing I took a few civil engineering classes in college... Does this place know about the periodic table? I guess We are about to find out.]

"Tux start a new project called Holy Concrete. I want this to be an alchemical formula that will be used to create Bellum. We will create this Holy Concrete by mixing Water, sand, and cement. Cement will need to be created and will need to be made of Lime, Silica, Alumina, Magnesia, Iron Oxide, Calcium Sulfate, Sulfur Trioxide, and Alkaline. This mix will need to be heated to produce Cement, and further processed will be needed to create Holy Concrete."

"Understood. Calculating time needed for project... Calculation complete. This task will take an estimated one hour."

"That's not bad." Jack nodded his head.

Emily finally stirred, "Not bad?"

Jack looked down to his loli, and wondered when she woke up, "Is it bad? I thought it was pretty good."

"You... You can't just make an alchemical formula to replace Bonesteel ashe mix! I know Bonesteel ashe mix! The Grand Tome of Neolith is made using Bonesteel ashe mix!" Emily sat up in Jack's arms, to look at the display of Bellum floating in the middle of the room in shock.

"What is this?" Emily then asked what the hologram was...

"This is the new city I'm planning on building, called Bellum. I will use the Holy Concrete to construct it with various building techniques."

Emily looked to Lucius, as Lucius nodded his head a few times, and then back to Jack.

"How can you just casually make something better than the ancients in an hour with a living tome?!"

[Because I'm using the wisdom of the ancient in another world...] Jack thought within his mind, before replying, "Because God-King..."

"God-King?" Emily said questioningly.

"God-King," Jack said firmly again.

"That doesn't make sense! You can't just solve something by saying God-King!"

"You are going to question my logic in a world where there is literally magic," Jack asked and teased.

"But this is alchemy! There are world rules that one just can't break just because of magic!"

"Really... I find that hard to believe. Let's just leave this to my living tome, and then with the formula... Lucius can take it to an alchemist and have them make a test batch."

"...Then let's do as you say... Haaaa~" Emily said defeated... She didn't want Jack to be disappointed. She had learned about alchemy in her studies and could perform basics. This is why she was shocked and annoyed. She herself could be considered a tier nine alchemist, out of the ten ranks with number one being the highest rank.

"Lucius... I have one last thing I need to speak about..." Jack sat back down as the hologram of Bellum shattered into sparkles and dissipated. He put Emily on his thigh bone to sit. Unlike last time, she seemed unfazed this time, as she looked from Jack to Lucius following the conversation.

"Speak, my lord."

[I told him to call me Jack... Haaaa~]

"The Grimnight clan... I did want to address this. Do We have any containers that can hold souls for a period of time? I remember that the last floor of the Jail can hold ghosts and the like... Can they hold souls?"

"Well... Yes."

"How many containers do We have, and how many souls to a container can they be fit."

"...Why are you asking this, my Holy God-King of the Undead..." Lucius asked with a slight tinge of fear. Ever since Jack left his entombment, his temper was terrible.

"I've promised Leslie that I will not wipe out the Grimnight clan, and even though I could grant true death to this band of Grimnights, and leave those already received with their unlife, I'd prefer to stick to my words... Heh."

"Al-all of their souls?"

"Yes... All... At... One... Time." Jack said grimly, as Emily shivered on his leg. Jack raised his hand to pull her closer to him, and pet on her, calming the little loli.

"...A soul jar can hold twenty souls at once... Though We have only ever needed to hold one at a time. We have five jars with two being occupied by two souls apiece."

"Who are these souls?" Jack asked out of curiously.

"Joan, the butcherer, and Dannis, Master of Malice," Lucius said with hesitation, a clear feeling of loathing mixed with fear when saying these names.

[These names sound freaking great!] Jack thought to himself.

"Who are they, and what did they do to end up as souls?"

Emily wondered, as well, as she had never heard of them either.

"Joan, the Butcherer... Descendant of the Doomcry clan was the closest to be a King Ranked Cultivator. She lost her mind to her battle lust one day and butchered half a million undead. It took the combined effort of three fellow Warmarshal's to subdue her, and in her rage, she tore herself apart... Her soul was left behind, and in fear that she may inhabit another body, we sealed her away in the bottom of the prison in a soul jar with seventy-seven sigils to prevent her escape."

"You said fellow Warmarshals... She was a Warmarshal?"

"Yes. She was the Warmarshal of the first legion, that would later be handed to Warmarshal Mossvale, may his soul rest in peace."

"I like her," Jack said offhandedly.

Emily's neck almost snapped from the force of her turned her head to look stare at Jack, while Lucius leaned forward as if to see if Jack was still sane.

Jack taking in both of their expressions, spoke, "Hey, Hey! I mean I like her record. A former Warmarshal! Considering I'm down two Warmarshals, I could use the backup."

"Jack... This isn't just a former Warmarshal, this is the Butcher of the Nogore straights!"

"I think I can fix her."

"Fix?"

Jack lifted his hand and wiggled his fingers in the air, "Remember Jordan?"

"...I see... As you say."

"And this Master of Malice... Dannis, was it?"

"Yes. A simple heretic! His worship of the light is false and without a doubt a blasphemy to all that is the Holy Light."

"Wait... How does he worship the Holy Light?"

"He believes that the Holy Light and the Unholy Darkness are two sides to the same coin. He went so far as to attempt to cultivate both at the same time! This turned him into a monster."

"A monster? Explain."

"He's insane!"

"That doesn't explain much... Lucius, you have to remember... I am connected to the Light in very intimate ways, and I don't want to be the one to tell you, but... The Light and Darkness are connected in strange ways. This Dannis isn't that far off the truth."

"But... But... My lord! He sacrificed the entire congregation of Salily at the time to draw in the power of darkness! Every male, female, and child!"

"He did this willingly, unlike Joan who did it in a rage?"

"YES! We subdued him but at the cost of a full legion..."

"Then leave him to rot for all eternity... Bastard deserves well what he has wrought even if he knows the truth of the Light!" Jack shook his head.

"This Joan though... I wish to see her soul. Bring it to me."

"Jack!"

"Lucius, trust in me. Break the seals and bring her soul to me. I will do the rest. She may have butchered countless unlives, but she had no intention to do it. As a former Warmarshal, the call of her kingdom and God-King will be greater than her madness."

"As... As you wish, my lord."

"While you're at it bring me the other three soul jars, and lastly... Prepare for court. I need to deal with the Grimnights in front of everyone and appoint others. We will have court in a week if you can manage Lucius."

"Of course. Leave it to me." Lucius stood, as he felt he was no longer needed and exited.

Jack did indeed intend to finish, but Lucius rushed out, leaving Emily and Jack within the Office.
