"Really?" Nathan raised his eyebrows. "What about your crystal form?"

"I’m about to achieve fusion. Thanks to your suggestion, I’m getting along with everyone."

"I see." Nathan smiled. "How about I give you something that you might be interested in?"

"Oh?!" Iris’ eyes flashed. Nathan wouldn’t give her something without much thought, so this might really be something that she would be excited about.

Nathan took out a book. "This is the power in Qion. It might be able to fulfill your ambition."

"!!!" Iris widened her eyes in shock. She hurriedly grabbed the book and realized that the Gigant Master was something she wanted. However, she felt something was off.

The gigant might be interesting, but she didn’t necessarily like robots. She just loved guns and something that looked like a machine.

Besides, using the gigant was quite restrictive in her opinion.

Still, after being tempered by the god of creation and the god of forging, Iris’ mind had become much sharper, especially in a topic like this.

Iris couldn’t help but say, "Master... What if we combine both of them?"

"Combine both of them?" Nathan looked amused.

"Yes. The armor is too big. It packs power, but it’s not very versatile. What if we tone down the power slightly in order to accommodate its versatility? For example, we create armor like crystal armor.

"In other words, it will be a gigant at the size of a human or a crystal armor with the concept of gigant. I think that combining the Battle Master and the Gigant Master is possible.

"You can fight at normal size but with the power of a gigant. It may not reach the same level of power, but if we use something else to boost the power, we may be able to create something even more suitable."

"It hasn’t been that long since I left you. It looks like you’ve been working hard." Nathan smiled.

"Well, it’s true that it’s not that long, but I guess I’ve been using too much time domain." Iris scratched the back of her head. Her mental age had surely become much more mature compared to her actual age because of the time domain.

Nathan smiled wryly. "Well, I think that’s worth trying. If you want something to increase the power..."

Nathan took out another book. This time, it was the book of the magic crest.

"Magic Crest!!!" Iris gasped. After skimming the content, she realized this was what was missing. "Master. Can’t we combine all of them into one summoning system? For example, use the lifebound contract to create a better link with the familiar so that when we utilize its power, it will be in its strongest form. This is what other continents don’t have.

"Then, we will use the crystal form concept to fuse with our familiars. In this continent, we can borrow their power, but crystal fusion allows us to combine our powers.

"We will further improve that power by combining it with the fusion of Battle Master and Gigant Master, creating something like an armor or machine around us to boost our power.

"Last but not least, we will improve the stability and power with this magic crest." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Nathan patted Iris’ head. "It looks like you’ve grown up. To think that you’re able to think of such a thing. The concept is possible. We just have to connect it. I will help as well."

In Iris’ mind, she already had what she wanted. There was an image of her wearing a machine that matched her body size with many cool guns releasing lasers that annihilated everything.

So, she was just trying to reach her goal. "I learn from the best."

"Now, you know how to flatter your master." Nathan chuckled while messing with her hair.

"Hehehe." Iris grinned.

Evelyn and the others were just giving a side glance. Day after day, Iris was turning into a second Nathan. Her mind became more brilliant with a bullshit concept in a way that it sounded feasible.

Nathan managed to turn all those concepts into reality. It looked like Iris might also do it in the future.

It looked like Nathan wasn’t wrong when he told them that Iris would become a future goddess of creation.

"So, have you formed a lifebound contract and so on?"

"Yes. I have formed a lifebound contract and I have also reached a crystal armor stage. With just a bit more push, I should reach the crystal fusion." Iris nodded furiously.

"In that case, you should focus on reaching the crystal fusion stage first before learning about this gigant. If I catch you slacking because of your curiosity about this power, I’m going to make you the last person to learn this power. Understood?"

"What? Master. Are you a devil? How can you not let me study this power?" Iris turned pale.

"That’s why you just need to reach the crystal fusion stage. Aren’t you about to reach this level? Prove it."

Iris gulped. "I’m going back to the time domain now!"

"Forget about that. Let’s head to Qion right away. I will set up a temporary time domain there. It won’t be as strong as this one, but it should be quite helpful."

"Noooo... Let me train here!" Iris panicked. If she trained here, she would get more time in the domain, which resulted in her learning about the gigant faster.

Nathan just chuckled and carried Iris as if she were luggage. No matter how soft he was to his disciple, he wasn’t going to spoil her too much.

Evelyn just said, "Anyway, we should go."

"Let me assign people to take care of our home first. It won’t take fifteen minutes." Selena waved her hand.

"Sure."

In the end, Iris escaped to the time domain and studied there for fifteen minutes. Inside the domain, it would feel like hours, allowing her to step a bit closer to the crystal fusion stage.

Nathan didn’t expect that Iris would become a study maniac once she found the path to her goal, but he didn’t say anything about it. It was good to be motivated after all. She definitely needed it to catch up with the rest of the team.

Once Selena was done distributing the work, Evelyn brought them to Qion, preparing for the upcoming alien attack.
