If the only way inside the Vault was to be able to use a power system that nobody even remembered these days, this should mean that Darius' path was cut off here.
Ironically, it was practically guaranteed that behind at least one of these Vaults there should be information on Source Energy, yet without having it beforehand, one would be unable to enter.
Fortunately, Darius might once again be the only person on Faust who had a way to cheat out that knowledge.
Originally, he had planned to research Source Energy gently and cautiously in case it might conflict with his Supreme System or the spells he had learned which stemmed from Fallon.
However, since it was uncertain how long it would take him to reverse-engineer Source Energy without any information on it, he decided that he would take a risk for once and speed things up.
As such, he took out an empty book and focused.
[Would you like to change the empty book into a Source Energy Training Manual? This will cost 70 Conversion Points.]
Darius paid the necessary CP and watched as the nondescript book turned into a special manual that glowed with a kaleidoscope of colors, light silver being the most prominent.
As soon as the transmutation was finished, he chose to learn it on the spot and closed his eyes as he digested the transferred information.
When Darius opened his eyes once more, there was mild shock mixed with a pleasant surprise.
To summarize Darius' newfound knowledge, Source Energy was basically the same as the True Source/One Power that the famous Aes Sedai used. It was an independent cosmic force present everywhere, permeating all things and generated energy from the continuous friction of existence.
Source Energy was special in that it encompassed everything. He also assumed this to be the reason why Faust's other power systems worked on Pokterr without hindrance.
Source Energy, like the famous One Power, was separated into two halves, only instead of male and female, it was separated into Corporeal and Ethereal.
Corporeal allowed for Source Energy to be used to manipulate physical forces like motion, strength, the body, or craftsmanship.
Ethereal allowed Source Energy to be used to manipulate elemental and abstract forces like space, time, fire, water, air, earth, etc.
Putting it bluntly, just like all power systems on Faust, there was a Physical power section and a Magical power section, just branded differently and with some differences.
Darius closed his eyes and felt the Source itself.
It was not like the famous Force, which was presumed to be all around and within every living thing, the Source was located in an abstract location that could be taken as the center of the world.
This was not the same as the Core of Faust obviously, and was not as powerful as it. The way Pokterrians had utilized the Source in the past was by building a bridge between themselves and the Source, allowing them to extract power with ease.
Darius immediately built a sturdy bridge between himself and the Source, the feeling of its all-encompassing energy wash through his body left him amazed.
Alas, just like an overly attached girlfriend, the Supreme System did not allow him to have any fun without it. Darius felt that something was missing, as if it had hidden some things from him that would have likely offered him some form of unique strengthening if he had been a native of Faust.
Nevertheless, Darius knew that it was in his best interest to keep his mistress happy, so he could hug her thigh. He had long gotten used to this rather brutal price he had to pay for staying with the Supreme System.
At least, he received occasional Events like this which granted him some much needed AP and SP which were more useful in the long run.
Darius placed his hand on the pedestal once more and channeled Source Energy into it. The entire room began to come to life as he continually injected energy for about 10 before the doors finally opened up.
Beyond them, there were rows and rows of shelves filled with sealed containers. Darius and his two Branded Servants entered and took a look around. They noted that the entire room was about the size of a large storeroom and there weren't more than 300,000 items stored here.
Darius walked up to the center of the storeroom where a small tablet stood. It was written in the Politan Language. Of course, since he had never heard of the Politos beforehand he did not speak nor read their language, yet once again magic was the answer.
A very useful Intermediate skill Darius had transmuted during the 5 year period, went by the name of Language Mastery and while not perfect, it allowed him to understand enough to make sense of it.
It read that this was the fourth Vault where the Polito Race housed their resources. Darius heaved a sigh as he found the coordinates of the other Vaults using an encrypted code, which Miranda had cracked in seconds.
Not only that, but it had also listed the contents of each vault were listed.
Vault 01 was the Knowledge Vault where their history and culture books were stored, Vault 02 was the Technique Vault where their renowned crafting and workman technique scrolls were kept, Vault 03 was the Equipment Vault where their best creations were stored, Vault 04 was this very vault, Vault 05 was the Tools Vault where special items required to utilize their techniques were stored, Vault 06 was the Alchemy Vault were their special concoctions were stored and Vault 07 was the Source Vault where all their knowledge about Source Energy was stored.
Naturally, Darius prioritized Vault 01, Vault 02, and Vault 07. Even this Vault wasn't that important to him apart from adding to the Database. After all, he could transmute the resources inside himself as long as he knew they existed and had enough CP.
With a calm smile, Darius nodded to Gunner and Xela.
The trio began gathering all the resources in the Vault into Bags of Holding gradually. Darius ignored the subtext on the tablet which warned the descendants who accessed this Vault about the Insects, and how they should not trust anyone with this info, etc.
After all, they were not Politos' descendants, so he saw no obligation to fulfill their wishes and spend any time resurrecting them. If their technology was as good as he assumed, he would incorporate it into Safemoon, perhaps even giving them some credit.
This way they would get to live on at least spiritually and if that was not enough... oh well.
When they were done cleaning the place out, Gunner and Xela returned to Darius. The two seemed curious as to how they would leave now that they had gotten in, but Darius simply touched their shoulders and teleported them out.
When they appeared in the area outside the Divine Door, Gunner and Xela were shocked. However, they could not voice out their surprise until they found themselves teleported back out to the sinkhole's edges.
By this point, they were truly and utterly speechless.
What the hell just happened? Hadn't Darius been worried about how they would leave that subspace previously? Why did it seem like it was so easy now?
