[This chapter might have spoilers, but nothing major.]
This novel is set in a steampunk world, or is it cyberpunk, no that's not accurate either.
Let's just call it Aetherpunk for now.
Anyway, this novel, unlike solar ascension, will have no hint of magic just pure tech battles.
Though, there might be tech in the future that would do the impossible, just don't think too much into it, and accept it as technology.
