"ゾハルがデウスの主動力炉"

As far as I understand, it says something like " _(A) Zohar is the power
source of Deus' leadership._ ", but "力炉" cannot be found in a dictionary.

Now 炉 has only one reading: ろ. But 力 can be read as ちから as well as りょく or りき.
How is 力炉 to be read beside its meaning?

ゾハル - name of a monolithic object supposed to be the source of all of life and
existence.

デウス - name of an AI taking control of the ゾハル for its purposes.




主動力炉 is しゅどうりょくろ, "main power source".

  * 主【しゅ】: (prefix) main
  * 動力炉【どうりょくろ】: power generator, power source 
    * 動力【どうりょく】: driving power, driving force
    * 炉【ろ】: furnace, reactor, generator

Perhaps you mistook it as 主導【しゅどう】 ("leadership"). The second kanji is
different. 導 is "lead; guide", 動 is "move; drive".
