"That... Miss Durandal, though I know this isn’t the time to interrupt you, you are truly terrifying right now."

In a private room somewhere in the Tenshukaku, Durandal stood alone, performing various acts that were quite unsettling on a "corpse." Anyone unaware would assume she was the main BOSS from a horror movie.

As the former Raiden Shogun, Raiden Makoto had naturally witnessed many terrifying scenes, but something like this, which even her strong heart found somewhat unacceptable, compelled her to speak.

"Ah, I got a little too absorbed. I didn’t realize the process of making a puppet could be so exciting. Did those people feel this way when they made puppets?"

Did the puppeteers on the Arad Continent also experience an inexplicable feeling in their hearts, just like her, during the process of making puppets?

Especially when witnessing the puppet gradually taking shape, did they also feel an indescribable sense of excitement in their hearts?

"Is something wrong? Raiden Makoto. Is someone about to enter?"

"No, it’s just that the process of you creating a body is a bit frightening. I was worried you might develop in a strange direction, so I spoke up to interrupt you."

"The process is a bit frightening? I’m doing this according to the process Raiden Ei used to create the Raiden Shogun. There shouldn’t be any problem."

"..."

Raiden Makoto opened her mouth, recalling the process of Raiden Ei creating the Raiden Shogun that she and Durandal had witnessed together inside the sacred sakura tree. It seemed... it really was like that. Aside from her expression, Durandal’s actions were no different from Raiden Ei’s.

Ei, why did you have to show such an expression when you created the Raiden Shogun? You’ve corrupted her.

Sighing, Raiden Makoto ignored the details that made one want to complain and asked, "It’s been a few days now. How are things going? Durandal."

During this time, Durandal would use her abilities daily to stealthily come to the Tenshukaku, to this secret room prepared for her by the Raiden Shogun, to create a body for Raiden Makoto.

Raiden Makoto had thought Durandal could finish quickly, as she had absorbed Raiden Ei’s experience, skipping the trial-and-error process and directly creating the item.

But days passed, and although the exterior looked almost complete, Durandal said there were still many steps to go before completion and it wouldn’t be done so quickly.

"Do you think creating a God body suitable for you is just about shaping the God’s flesh into your likeness? That bird was a God who controlled [Wind], and you are a God of [Lightning]. If nothing is done, transferring your soul into it will likely result in a rejection reaction."

Stolas was the God of Wind, and Raiden Makoto was the God of Lightning. Even though Stolas was dead, its body still contained a very strong wind element.

If it was merely used as an ingredient for cooking, it wouldn’t be an issue, but for creating a body, more precise manipulation was required.

Although creating a God’s body was something unprecedented, no one could guarantee whether the residual elements would affect Raiden Makoto, who would enter later.

At the same time, it was unclear if there were any residual consciousness or soul of Stolas within the flesh. These days, besides creating the body, her main task was to eliminate any potential hidden dangers. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"I see. Things are much more troublesome than I imagined."

"How simple did you think it was? To some extent, this is already considered an act of resurrection. If anyone else were to do such a thing, the Heavenly Principles would certainly not allow it to happen (whispering)."

No matter which world, resurrection has always been a taboo, and the same principle applies in this world. As the world’s administrator, the Heavenly Principles would naturally not allow such a thing to happen.

But the person doing this was Durandal, and the Heavenly Principles couldn’t defeat her. In the future, the Heavenly Principles would still need Durandal’s help, so it could only let her perform these taboo acts.

Durandal spoke very softly, and Raiden Makoto didn’t hear the latter part of the sentence. She nodded, agreeing with Durandal’s point of view; their current actions were indeed bringing her back to life.

"However, I didn’t expect the Raiden Shogun to so easily give you a private room."
