“Maybe. But I don't know if your stone will count as already enchanted or not.” your son answers, raising a hand to his chin as he ponders. Where you notice he's growing a bit of stubble, which is surprising. Has he really grown up so much on you? “Mind handing it over for a moment?”
“Sure, no problem.” you say, reaching down into your boot and drawing the small, irregularly-shaped emerald gem out. You offer it to your son, who you see is rummaging through the box. A second later he draws out a crystal that's even larger than your Soulstone, holding it up towards your outstretched hand.
“Let's see...” your son mutters, peering at the crystal in your hand <span class="mu-i">through</span> the crystal he's holding. But only for a moment, lowering the item in his hand and shaking his head. “Sorry, but it can't be enchanted any further.”
“That's all good, was just curious about it.” you tell him, returning the stone to its storage compartment in your boot. Rising back up to your feet, you see him again stroking his chin as he's deep in thought, sword in the ground beside him.
“I probably can't enchant your sword any further. But...” he says, you realizing what he's getting at. “If I were to have a second sword made of similar metals, I could probably copy your Wolf Knight sword and make you a second one.”
“Huh, now there's a thought.” you say, thinking it over. “Having a backup could be great. It's really good against the Dark.”
“That it is. Just bring it around some time, and I'll see what I can do.” Chilli tells you. But then his brows furrow a bit, turning and looking towards the south. “But that'll be for another day, I do have other projects today.”
“Of course, I'm in no rush.” you tell him. “Besides, with your Crystal magic, you can probably have as many of those Data Crystals as you could ever want.”
“Well, I don't actually use my Crystal magic to copy them.” Chilli says to you. “That was what Ainz, and I also thought I could do at first. But to create more of them, I do need to use my Chaos magic.”
“Wait, what?” you ask, knowing that that particular magic is why that stupid mask god tried to murder him.
“It's really simple.” First, I break a crystal. Like this.” Chilli says, breaking a chunk off of the crystal in his hands. He pockets the tiny sliver, then holds the rest out in front of him with his telekinesis while his hands glow with light and dark magical energy. “Chaos Magic: Chaos Barrier!”
