The Beauty Collector

Inside the seemingly endless white space of the time chamber, Zeno could be seen standing in front of the dimension gate with Krisha beside him. The two of them are currently on tour as Zeno wants to see what Krisha has managed to cook up after spending almost two years inside the time chamber. Right now they are testing the new power generator that Krisha has created with the help of Godblood to satisfy the dimension gate's massive energy requirement for connecting to another world.

( AN: Krisha is the clone of Rakshata Chawla. )

At the base of the dimension gate structure, there's a new installation of energy pipelines that could be seen connecting to it as the pipes lead to a large black structure with a cylinder shape in the distance right next to the R&D zone. The entire black structure is basically a new power generator that Krisha has built to feed the dimension gate its energy and all of the other things inside the time chamber if it works just as she expected it to.

"Unbelievable…"

Krisha muttered while she looked down on the screen of the HMT in her hands with astonishment as she monitored the energy reading of the new power generator that Zeno named the Super Arc Reactor, a larger and improved version of the smaller Arc Reactor, as the energy reading from the SAR (Super Arc Reactor) that is currently being supplied to the dimension gate continues to climb higher and higher at an astonishing pace.

"How is it?"

Zeno turned to his beautiful R&D director with a curious and expectant look, his icy blue eyes locked onto the screen of HMT in Krisha's hands that displays a number that keeps multiplying until the number exceeds ten digits and is still climbing.

"Fuuu~ the SAR is working above my expectations, almost at 500% efficiency from the initial estimate; how absurd. I guess our problem with the energy insufficiency is solved just like that, huh?"

Krisha puffed out a cloud of glittery pink smoke as she looked up at Zeno before she reported the SAR's incredible performance to him with the kiseru pipe still in her mouth. She feels quite dissatisfied since the process of making the SAR is simply too easy, as Krisha just has to make it bigger, more efficient, and more durable with better components, which is frankly annoying to her since she didn't have to do much to solve the energy issue of their faction and not being able to truly showcase her genius to her master.

"Umu! That's great!"

Hearing the good news from her, Zeno grins happily as he pulls the dissatisfied Krisha into a hug from behind her as he kisses her on her cheek over her shoulder. Krisha's mood improved a bit from Zeno's affection. At least her master is happy, Krisha thought with a small smile.

"You did good, Krisha."

Zeno didn't forget to praise her as he looked at her face from the side with a smile before he released her from his arms. It's great that he has many loyal and capable subordinates to rely on so he can have more free time to laze around. He longs for the day that he doesn't have to do or think too much about anything anymore since his capable subordinates will take care of it for him.

"Of course, Master, this is what I am good at after all."

With her mood somewhat lifted by the praise, Krisha said with a smile as she glanced back at Zeno. The tour is still ongoing, so she can show her other works to him. She is confident that the things that she made will also impress Zeno.

After that, the two of them went back together to the transport cart with the Geborg driver waiting for them inside the vehicle to continue their tour at other places, as the SAR's test is already done.

( 1st POV )

With the energy issue finally taken care of, I can now begin my visit to the Highschool of the Dead world or any other worlds whenever I want. It's kind of RNG, though, as I have to open the dimension gate randomly to travel to an unknown world that I don't have coordinates for. It could also be dangerous, as I don't know where the dimension gate will connect to.

Looks like I'll have to isolate and secure the area around the dimension gate later so nothing can come and go through the portal unimpeded...

Now that the Highschool of the Dead world is available, I plan to have fun playing around in that world for a while without bringing my Liberty's force over, and when I have enough fun or it gets boring, then I'll start colonizing the Highschool of the Dead's Earth and eventually the solar system over there to expand my faction's power.

There are just so many resources that I can gain that will make my faction a superpower in no time. I'm also quite curious to see if there's any alien or supernatural being in that universe; I doubt there is any, though.

But don't be confused; the main objective is still the waifus. Well, it'll be pretty easy to clone them all, to be honest, as they can't even resist the hypnosis magic, let alone Godblood.

I already have a plan for the new clones, as the clone of Seako will, of course, be joining the combatant girls. The clone of Saya will be joining the R&D, and the clone Shizuka will be a doctor or healer with Asia; despite looking like a clumsy airhead, Shizuka is quite a capable nurse after all.

Next, the clone of Saya's mom will be joining with Klara in the financial department, and the clones of Shizuka's friend, Rika, and the brown-haired girl who is the main character's childhood friend that I don't remember the name of will be joining the new Public Safety Department, which is basically a police department that I will create in the future.

( AN: Klara is the clone of Katerea. )

Well, that's all of them, as I'm not quite sure about other female characters in the Highschool of the Dead world since I don't find them good or useful enough for my tastes.

When I was thinking about the other world's waifus, the transport cart suddenly stopped as I noticed that we had arrived at the research institute building where Krisha does her research and lives in.

We got out of the cart before Krisha guided me inside the building and to the lab that has many pieces of equipment and advanced machinery that occupy most of the lab's space.

What caught my eye first when I was inside the lab was that at the center of the room, there was a metallic suit of armor hanging from the ceiling in a T-pose with dozens of cables connected to its back, and beside the suit of armor, there is also a 1.6 meter tall robot with no exterior showing its complex interior structure and metallic exoskeleton.

The robot has a humanoid-like anatomy at first glance, but with careful observation, it has a distinctive anatomy quite similar to a bipedal canine or a werewolf.

"What are these two?"

I turned to ask Krisha with curiosity as I pointed at the two suits of armor and the werewolf robot in the center of the room.

"Ah, yes, these two…"

Krisha smiled as she started to explain to me. First, the suit of armor is a new armor for the Geborgs; it is two times more powerful and efficient with better energy absorption ability. Now the recently created Geborg with high-class strength can defeat the Ultimate-class with ease and can even put up a good fight against the Satan-class by their lonesome, barehanded!

The new armor is naturally more expensive than the normal Geborg's armor, but the cost is really worth it, in my opinion.

And the second one, the G-droid, is a robot that will be the Liberty's first Vanguard, or basically an expandable soldier in any battlefield. They are quite smart and very cheap to produce, but their strength is only comparable to a low-class devil. But they can't be underestimated, as with their cheap cost, Liberty can field them in millions of units that are armed with Liberty's deadly weapons. They really remind me of the guardsmen with their wall of lasguns from the Warhammer universe.

"These two are very great for our military power! Krisha, you really did an excellent job creating them!"

I'm very pleased with these two creations of Krisha that she had created for me, as I couldn't help but praise her generously, together with a surprise kiss on her dark red lips that I enjoy thoroughly while she receives my kiss with the same enthusiasm after the initial surprise.

"Chuchuchupa…! Mmmh… fufufu~ I'm glad you are very pleased by my works, Master."

After I separated our lips with a trail of saliva string, Krisha giggles with a faint blush on her cheeks as she gives him a sultry look while tracing the butt of her pipe on her soft lips. The kiss was a surprise but a welcome one to her, apparently.

"Fufu~ Now let me show you more of my works, Master."

Krisha smiled sexily as she locked her arm with mine and then led me to the other things she created. I smirk before walking with her to a table where a bunch of weapons are on the table nearby.

Krisha introduced them one by one to me. These are various types of the upgraded Liberty's lasguns that have specific uses unique to them, such as the classic two of assault rifle and pistol, a shotgun version, a heavy machine gun, and a sniper rifle, for example. There's also a new variant of lightsaber, such as a spear and dagger version.

The weapons on the table have been improved by Krisha to be more efficient and durable, and I'm going to use them as the new standard equipment for my faction.

Next, Krisha also introduced me to a drone that she called the Interceptor Drone. It's a small drone the size of a plate that is capable of generating various types of barriers to intercept enemy attacks. The Interceptor Drone is also capable of forming a larger and stronger barrier with their own kind.

This will definitely be installed on all vehicles, vessels, and aircraft, I thought with a firm nod.

"Now then, let me show you my favorite creation, Master,"

After looking through all of Krisha's work, she finally said to me with a mysterious smile as she led me outside the research institute to a large hangar of sorts behind the building. I'm quite curious about what she will show me next.

"I've been working on this project recently, and I hope that you will be pleased with what I will show you."

Krisha said as she led the curious Zeno to the large front doors of the hangar, and then she pushed the screen of her HMT to open the doors.

The doors began to split open as they slid to the opposite of each other with a whoosh, revealing the interior of the hangar filled with a couple of Geborgs and shadow clones of Krisha busy working with something or another inside a well-lit and vast interior of the hangar. "It" then suddenly comes into Zeno's view as a sleek, futuristic structure that stands tall in the middle of the hangar, "its" metallic body gleaming in the light and "its" feet standing against the concrete floor. "It" is something that Zeno had seen before, something he knows really well.

"Is that really a MECH?!"

Zeno exclaimed with great excitement as he saw a six-meter-tall humanoid robot standing inside the hangar.

"Indeed, let me present to you… the Knightmare Frame, Zero-Zero."

Krisha smirks as she is satisfied by her master's reaction and presents him the Knightmare Frame with a theatrical hand gesture. Zeno grins happily as he almost skips inside the hangar to the mech with a childlike wonder in his eyes.

He can't wait to pilot it on the battlefield!
