the container they were in was made of glass, but it need not be said that this was far from ordinary glass. lex did not know the specifics of the glass, but it definitely needed to be strong enough to resist whatever pressure was exerted from long distance teleportation through the void.
considering that the void was dangerous to just about everyone, at minimum the glass container needed to have defense at the immortal level. if lex had to take an arbitrary guess, he would say that it was probably at the level of a celestial immortal.
for lex to believe that he could improve the defense of an item at the celestial level was more than a little arrogant. but that's not what lex was doing. he didn't need to improve the defense of the entire container.
rather, he needed to improve the containers' protection specifically from whatever was tracking and harming them.
with his eyes closed, lex sensed the container, and specifically the crack. but to assume that the tracker was located at the exact location where the container was cracking was naive. the tracker was probably hidden ingeniously in some place no one would suspect or could find.
no, what lex focused on was the laws. he could no longer do things as simple and straightforwardly as before. the world was more complicated than what appeared on the surface.
he also did not specifically look for the laws used by the enemy, whoever it may be in this case. for them to be able to fool the bank's forces, their mastery of laws, at least in hiding the laws and their applications, far surpassed lex.
but while their purpose was to covertly track, and then attack the container, lex needed only to enhance the container's own protection from external forces.
if the container could resist the void, and everything else this journey threatened in the norm, then it was well made. lex used its ability to resist the void, and enhanced it, made it greater, and broadened the scope of what it was to defend against.
if anything... lex suspected that there was a greater secret to this very container than he expected.
"ripley, do you happen to know what this container is made from? what is this glass?" lex asked very casually, without mentioning the attack at all.
"i do not know the specifics, i don't normally travel through containers," ripley said. "these are standard containers used by the bank. i can find out their origins. are you wondering if it was tampered with from the source?"
"no, i'm wondering where i can buy one," lex said softly. actually, he wanted to make a sword out of this material, but as soon as he had that thought, he could feel naraka getting upset with him, so he changed his sentence real quick.
the only other thing he could think of why he was able to display such amazing power was that the container was special, or maybe his lawcraft worked particularly well during teleportation.
the image velma was showing suddenly disappeared, but before anyone could ask what happened, gerard spoke.
"the energy leakage has stopped."
"i think it's over," ripley said.
lex shook his head. these people... it was as if they'd never been involved in unexpected trouble before. how could they say that it was over? things were clearly just beginning.
a few minutes later, the container arrived at uzuz, and what they saw was chaos.
