As the group entered the palace, they gasped once again at the grandeur of it. The floor tiles looked like they were made of pure jade and the decorations around the hallway looked and were more expensive than everything the group owned!! There were art pieces which were actually Magical Treasures with amazing functions like, gathering Mana, increasing efficiency for training, attacking and capturing and even a small world that was ten times bigger than what the Magi Dio space's area was!! And that wasn't half of it, there were weapons on the walls that exuded auras that would make Heavenly Sages kneel and anyone below that level would die!!! And all of this was just in the hallways of this palace!! ``Holy SH*t! what the hell you two?!! These weapons are crazy strong!!'' ``Yeah! why didn't you use these against us in the fight?!'' Ron exploded at Ferrum and Aeris and Theo followed soon. Everyone looked at the two, waiting for their answer, ``well, frankly we aren't allowed to use anything from inside the Palace unless it was assigned to us.'' Aeris just nodded to what his brother said and they both started to walk again leading the group to the core area of the palace!!

As they were getting closer to the central area of the palace, the group became more and more shocked at the items and their origins. They honestly felt lucky that they let Ferrum and Aeris `live' as without them, it would have been a giant pain in the a** to find their way around the palace. Jack had tried using navigation spells but the formations placed around the palace were capable of supressing even Heavenly Monarchs, much less someone like Jack!! while hearing the origins and uses of the Magical Treasures that decorated the walls of the palace, the group arrived at the Main Hall, the core area of the Craftsman God Palace!! ``we can only lead you till here!'' ``You will have to pass the tests left behind by Master Asvats to take control of the Palace!!'' The grave tone, the two metal puppets spoke in made the group a little nervous but the thought of backing down never even crossed their minds!! Even the Dragon Clan team was excited to take on the challenge and went inside the Main Hall to take on the tests!!

As soon as the group entered the Main Hall, they all appeared in separate rooms with black walls on all sides and suddenly, a table, a bed and a bookshelf appeared in the rooms. In a flash of blinding light, a scroll appeared on the table!! ``Guys! Are you seeing all of this?!!''Theo's voice appeared from the Magic Rings on everyone's hands. ``Yeah, I think we are all competing against each other!!'' The excitement and happiness in Hermione's voice was what everyone else was experiencing. They all loved to compete against each other and in terms of fighting strength, they couldn't really conduct a test without destroying their surroundings and turning the battlefield into living hell. But this seemed different, everyone approached the scroll and picked it up carefully, `Boom!' as soon as they touched the scroll, a Projection appeared and spoke,``Welcome to my Palace, Brave Challengers!! I am Asvats, the Craftsman God!! In this room you will face multiple tests, if you pass, you will become my inheritor and the master of this palace but be careful!! Each test comes with its own peril!!'' with that short yet ominous introduction, the Projection vanished.

Harry wanted to talk with the others once again and spoke into the Magic Ring, ``What kind of tests do you think we are going to get?!!'' but he didn't receive any response. In fact, none of them could reach out to the others! Jack looked over at the room once again and the only thing that drew his attention was the Bookshelf. He once again checked the room for any clues, tricks etc. but the bookshelf was the only thing that caught his attention. In fact, everyone in the group came to the same conclusion after a while and everyone started reading the books on the bookshelf. Everyone picked books that drew their attention the most and went to town on the books. `Holy Sh*t! this is amazing!' no matter the book any of them had picked, their thoughts at this moment were the same. The level of knowledge in these texts was way beyond their imaginations!! Theo had picked a book on Magical Equipment Refining and he was blown away! The book had techniques which dwarfed anything he had learned previously. There were ways to enhance existing weapons and equipment, create tools that could heal an entire country or destroy it, refine treasures that could reverse time and break space itself!!

It was just as amazing for everyone, Neville was currently reading a book on Herbology, the Twins had books on Formations and the rest were occupied by their interests. Jack too was currently busy with reading a book, `Heavenly God's World Creation Manual'!! just the title alone was too shocking and intriguing but the way Jack had to open it was even more so. Although he had taken the book of the shelf, he could not open it, not with his physical or mental strength, not by spells, not even with his Sharingan. Jack lost his cool and went Super Saiyan on the bi*ch!! He used Divine Animagus Transformation, opened his Golden Mangekyou Sharingan and used his Physical, Mental and Magical Energies in combination to attack a book!! This was crazy enough on its own but what was even more crazy was the result.
