Jaol

Jaol was working on the Technocrat Ship, *Little Bean*, when the System sent Zac to it as the 71st floor of the Tower of Eternity. Zac forced Jaol to help him retrieve the Shard of Creation; but failed to sever Karma when he paid him off and told him to run in a way that made him seem a traitor. Jaol fled across the Endless Storm for a decade chased by those seeking the bounty on his head before Ogras' crew rescued him when he announced he was a seal holder of Ultom. Jaol is now working on swapping from the Technocrat Machine God methods to the Transcender methods so he can survive in Integrated Space.

## Little Bean

* “I am Jaol. I’m just a comms officer of the *Little Bean*, no one important!” he said. **Book 5, Page 246**
* “I am Jaol Kresson, junior deputy of the Communications Department. **Book 5, Page 265**

## On The Run

* Zac nodded and transferred 100 million Nexus Coins to the comms officer. **Book 5, Page 281**
* “You no longer need to stay undercover on this ship.” Zac smiled as he said this with a voice that carried far and wide, which quickly changed Jaol’s face from excitement into horror. “Thank you for your assistance. I wouldn’t have come this far without you. There is a ship down that corridor, according to the doctor. I suggest you take it before reinforcements arrive.” **Book 5, Page 282**
* He still didn't know why the bounty on his head was so grotesque. He only had a small part in the destruction of *Little Bean*, and that was under duress. Yet the government was willing to pay one hundred times its value for his capture. **Chapter 967**
* Jaol has more to him than meets the eye as well. "Did you know that he somehow managed to flee the equivalent distance of a whole sector through the Endless Storm, until he reached the Million Gates Territory? All while having actual Monarchs looking for him? You've seen what that place is like. To survive that journey as an E-grade cultivator, the Farsee Court sounds fitting. **Chapter 972**
* Zac shuttled Jaol back to Earth while the rest of the elites of Ogras' mission resumed their roles in the Atwood Empire. **Chapter 977**

## InterSector War

* Jaol had been attached to the Atwood Army Research Department, located in a newly built annex of his academy. **Chapter 1,107**
* Most of his knowledge of navigation and spaceflight couldn't be directly translated into something suitable for a faction reliant on orthodox cultivation, but some things could. He'd already created a few gadgets that were installed on the Atwood Empire's Creator Vessels, adding handy features. **Chapter 1,107**

## Ultom

* "I AM A PLAINSWALKER OF ULTOM, HELP ME, AND I'LL JOIN YOUR CREW!" Jaol screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing through the streets. **Chapter 967**
* "Wait, Jaol?" Zac blurted, barely able to believe his eyes. "Is that real? A technocrat navigator named Jaol?” "It's all too real," Ogras said, his mouth widening into a smile. "He's kept at the compound back on Crimson Edge. Didn't dare bring a Technocrat here, even if he's an exile. I have no idea if it'd create problems for you, or the faction in general, for that matter." **Chapter 972**
* A streak of light had been dragged out of Jaol's body and entered the token. **Chapter 1,107**

## Progression

### Machine God

* It was a human just like himself, or at least mostly human. Some parts of his body seemed to be mechanical, which Zac guessed made the man a cyborg. His clothing made him believe he wasn’t a warrior like the other cyborg he had met, but rather some sort of noncombat personnel. **Book 5, Page 244**
* The comms officer hesitated for a few seconds before he eventually reached toward his eyes and literally pulled them out of their sockets. Zac couldn’t stop himself from gaping in shock as the man handed his eyes to him. **Book 5, Page 257**
* “Work and save Bits; buy upgrades for myself,” Jaol slowly said. “I’ve been working on this freight for four years, and I was planning on performing my fourth overhaul with my savings along with the reward for completing this mission. **Book 5, Page 268**
* “Well, I think you people call us the Machine God Faction, and I guess that is accurate. Our ‘cultivation’ is essentially slowly upgrading our body parts one by one. For example, my eyes have been improved, along with most of my organs. I no longer require food, but I rather run on energy cells.” **Book 5, Page 269**

### Transcender

* The further he was forced to progress under the Cursed Heavens, the worse his components worked. It wasn't long until he'd have to make a decision.Either head back home or replace the rest of his components for flesh. **Chapter 967**
* It turned out the navigator already was working on a Transcender path on his own, researching various eyes and bloodlines to incorporate into his body. **Chapter 977**
* Since Zac couldn't create something he couldn't understand or imagine, Jaol first wanted to gather some samples for Zac to analyze. That was fine by Zac, though it meant that Jaol would have to wait until he returned from Perennial Vastness to get his new body parts. **Chapter 977**
* Zac had already given him a fortune to get his new life started, ... **Chapter 1,108**

### Cultivation

* “Soul strengthening was there long before the System, so it’s not really a part of Heaven’s Path. Besides, our methods are more refined,” Jaol said. **Book 5, Page 271**
* As expected, a few people appeared ahead, but activating **[Flaming Geas]** made them scurry out of the way. **Chapter 967**
