The clouds that swept through the hall were dyed a golden color. It was a representation of lingering regret. The expelled G.o.ds were still longing for their homeland.
âZeratul was defeated and Zik was resurrected.â
Hanulâs expression was so calm that the three masters were surprised.
âI thought he would be laughing.â
He was the most straightforward about his feelings among the G.o.ds of the beginning. There were often criticisms of frivolity, but that was only from those who didnât know great enjoyment.
âYes, it is too much humiliation. Even Asgard wonât be able to stand by.â
âDominion⊠no, Judar will move.â
The three masters noticed it. Hanul was contemplating a departure. The timing was appropriate. After a series of unexpected incidents, Asgardâs defenses would be neglected for a while. It wasnât bad to take this opportunity to invade Asgard.
âThe moment we reach the west, our deity will rise significantly.â
The human beings of the western lands had great distrust in Asgard. They didnât receive any help during the invasion of the demons. It was easy for them to be the new objects of wors.h.i.+p.
âIt isnât enough just to discuss the odds.â
This opportunity might not come twice. The overlap between Zeratulâs defeat and Zikâs resurrection was such a great event. The probability was close to a miracle. However, it wasnât necessarily the best to take advantage of this opportunity. The fundamental problem was that it was difficult to see the odds even if they invaded Asgard.
There was a big gap in basic combat effectiveness. This was even if Zeratul had entered the âstatus recoveryâ state and Judar would be absent. There were still Rikael and Dominion left over there.
Judar, Dominion, and Rikael were the first G.o.ds and apostles created at the same time as Rebecca was born. They were the ones who expelled them from their home to this land.
Those with a power and authority that transcended the concept of forceâthey were originally special existences who couldnât be ignored, just like the ancient G.o.ds, dragons, and beings with the modifier of âfirstâ or âbeginning,â such as the three evils of h.e.l.l.
âDonât be so nervous.â
The three masters awakened from their thoughts. Pungsa, Unsa and Usaâthere was no impatience in Hanulâs eyes as he looked at the three of them.
âI still intend to observe. The Overgeared G.o.d and Zik might bring defeat to Judar. If they succeed in bringing Dominion down to the ground, then it will be our chance.â
ââŠYou think highly of the Overgeared G.o.d.â
Zik had been promising since ancient times. Why else would Rebecca have directly cursed him?
The three masters approved when Hanul tried to win him over. If they could revive the seven malignant saints starting with Zik, they would gain a great deal of combat power. Meanwhile, the Overgeared G.o.d was ambiguous. There were whispers in the wind that humanity survived the invasion of demons and Zik was resurrected thanks to the Overgeared G.o.d. The three masters remembered Grid from the days when he was still a human being.
Yes, the Overgeared G.o.d wasnât a G.o.d when he visited the Hwan Kingdom. He mightâve accomplished the achievement of pa.s.sing Chiyouâs Test, but it was difficult to imagine more than that. Could he really survive against Judarâs schemes?
The three masters thought it was difficult.
âTheir mutual destruction would be the best.â
The three masters had a frank wish. Zik refused to become Hanulâs apostle and instead served as Gridâs apostle. From the perspective of the three masters, both Zik and Grid were hateful. They wanted the two of them to die alongside the G.o.ds of Asgard. Then Hanul spoke in a meaningful manner, âRather than appreciating the Overgeared G.o.d, I am looking forward to Veniceâs actions.â
âIndeedâŠâ
âConsidering the sins she committed in the past, it is enough to feel expectant.â
The expressions of the three masters became more relaxed.
ââŠâŠâ
Only Sobyeol stayed silent. His eyes, which shone brightly, became cold as he looked at the three masters, but the parties concerned didnât notice it.
***
Responding to Baalâs invasion and considering how to use Zikâs bodyâGridâs mind was heavily exhausted. However, time was running out. He couldnât rest and started to produce the divine sword. He didnât make any rudimentary mistakes such as losing concentration or having dull fingers, but it was true that it was difficult. It was just after a battle at the speed of sound in the same environment as reality. His physical strength had long recovered, but his mental fatigue remained.
Of course, Gridâs persistence and concentration shone even more in difficult situations. Apart from being tough, Grid was always perfectly in control of the work. He adjusted the flames of the furnace as intended and succeeded in smelting the fang using the unexpectedly strong flames.
Moreover, he received the compensation of strengthening his willpower and mental world. The reward just for smelting a material was too much. The highest of all concepts was willpower and the mental world.
However, Grid wasnât pleased. It was because the Furnace of G.o.d was destroyed. How much manpower and funds had been invested to create this myth rated furnace? What he had pledged to be a lifelong companion ended up as a disposable itemâŠ
âNow that it is like this, I have no choice but to aim for the best results.â
The furnace couldnât be sacrificed in vain. It hadnât been completely destroyed, but in any caseâŠ
Grid cooled down his boiling mind and accelerated the work.
Ttang!Ttang!Ttang!
He tempered the fang with Hexetiaâs anvil and hammer. Then he smelted it using the furnace that was still releasing flames toward the broken outer wall.
Ttang!Ttang!Ttang!
He repeated the same tasks again and again before finally creating and structuring the frame of the blade according to the design imprinted in his head.
ââŠâŠâ
Days pa.s.sed as Grid engrossed himself in his work. During the process, the outer wall of the furnace completely collapsed and war resumed in all parts of the continent, butâŠ
Grid was completely focused on his own world. He communicated with Gujelâs fang, which intermittently shook, attacked Grid, and rejected the flames even after giving in. Surprisingly, the skill Overgeared G.o.dâs Domination and Talimaâs Shame were very helpful in the production process.
[Overgeared G.o.dâs Domination Lv. 1]
[Use your divine authority to create and rule all things to temporarily dominate âcreated things.â
The duration is 1 second by default. The higher the willpower stat, the longer the duration.
During the duration of dominance, you can exercise all rights except âdestructionâ on the target item.
Skill applicable target: Recognized objects. It is up to 2 objects. There is one extra for every 1,000 points in willpower.
Skill Cooldown Time: 1 hour.]
It was different from the Duke of Virtueâs skill of borrowing items. It was also different from Talimaâs Shame who commanded âego items.â Overgeared G.o.dâs Domination had an influence on âcreated thingsâ as a whole. The influence mentioned here wasnât a simple concept. Exercising all rights except destruction⊠in other words, it had endless utility.
Gujelâs fang, which was smelted by Gridâs hands, also belonged to the category of created things. Every time it shook, Grid exercised control and overpowered it. If his skill was on cooldown, then he used Talimaâs Shame. If he didnât have such means, the process of making the fang into a sword wouldâve been much harder. Every time he tried to shape it into the form of a sword, it jumped frantically like it didnât want to lose its essence.
âThe ego is too strong.â
It was incomparable to Talimaâs Shame. It could be inferred through the reaction of the Fire Dragon Sword. The Fire Dragon Sword, which used to make threats every time Talimaâs Shame rebelled, remained silent, like it was dead, in front of Gujelâs fang. It seemed to be very wary.
It was natural. The Fire Dragon Sword was an ego born from a breath, and it was not a part of Trauka. It had integrated with Greed to become a divine sword, but its fundamental status was still inferior to Gujelâs fang. It was inevitable even if Trauka was a higher ranked dragon than Gujel.
Tta!Ttang!Ttang!
Gridâs hammering became increasingly sophisticated. He finally slowly and delicately tempered the obedient fang. He guided the grain, which was divided in several branches, into one direction.
The curve remained gentle. He understood the intention contained in the form. He strengthened the rapport through understanding and inserting his willpower. Once it finally took the form of a s.h.i.+ning dao, it was combined with a handle made of Greed.
It wasnât complete yet. It should be sharper.
As the work progressed, Grid sensed the tension of the Fire Dragon Sword and spoke in a rea.s.suring manner, âThis isnât a process to abandon you.â
Even if Gujelâs dao boasted an unrivaled power, Grid had no intention of abandoning his existing swords. The realization gained from the creation of Gujelâs dao would be incorporated into the innovation of the divine swords.
Grid created divine swords and the desired result was an overall evolution. It wasnât a screening process.
Ttang!Ttang!Ttang!
Time pa.s.sed quickly. During the production of Gujelâs dao, Grid reached the connection timeouts a total of three times. This meant he devoted nearly nine days to the production. It was possible due to the consideration of his colleagues. The Overgeared members and apostles did their best in their respective positions. They thwarted the invasion of the demons, so Grid didnât have to go out. In particular, Yura and Kraugel, who were active in h.e.l.l with Leraje, made a great contribution. They ransacked Gamiginâs soul vault.
Thanks to this, Grid could fully concentrate. Combined with Overgeared G.o.dâs Domination and Talsha, the divine sword was completed much faster than scheduled.
A world message appeared.
[Overgeared G.o.d Gridâs divine object has appeared.]
[The myth of the Overgeared G.o.d is strengthened.]
[All stats of the Overgeared G.o.d Churchâs believers will permanently increase by 10 and the penalties incurred when wearing items will be slightly reduced.]
It was news that gave humanity new hope. Justâ
[A myth rated item is produced, permanently increasing all stats by 30!]
[Reputation throughout the continent will rise by 1,000.]
[For the first time in history, a complete dragon weapon has been completed. The t.i.tle âDragon Slayer?â has been acquired.]
[The faith of the Overgeared G.o.d Church followers and all the blacksmiths in the world has deepened.]
[The heavenly G.o.ds are wary of you.]
[The son of Stone Dragon Gujel has woken up.]
[Some dragons are having fun watching the situation.]
ââŠ???â
The contents of the notification windows visible only to Grid werenât sweet. The wariness of the G.o.ds was something he experienced more than once or twice, so it was sufficiently antic.i.p.ated. However, he hadnât expected the dragons to react. The situation that was a.s.sumed to be the âworst case scenarioâ became reality. Additionally, Gujelâs son?
âI attracted aggro in the wrong direction?â
Well, it couldnât be helped. He had to bear it even if he knew the results clearly. He couldnât miss the opportunity to make a dragon weapon. He couldnât just suck his fingers because he was scared of dragons.
âThink positively. If a dragon appears, it might be better because there is justification for the Tower of Wisdom to intervene.â
Moreover, he got a ridiculous t.i.tle.
[Dragon Slayer?]
The question mark behind it was very unpleasant, but⊠in any case, it was likely to be one of the highest t.i.tles.
ââŠâŠ!â
Grid was about to confirm the details of the divine sword and t.i.tle only to look behind him in amazement. Standing there was a woman supporting her face with both hands, like a flower. The moment Gridâs eyes met her eyes, he felt dizzy from her smile. It was literally a G.o.ddess.
Venice, the G.o.ddess of money and the owner of the sun carriageâGrid knew her. He had encountered her voice once before when he purchased Hexetiaâs anvil and hammer from the carriage.
âIâm here to sell information. I will give you information that will be a great~ help to you!â There was no malice in the sparkling, starlit eyes.
