Clank! Clank! Clank!
The sound of a hammer hitting metal echoed in the room.
Chu Yuechan watched yellow and red sparks dance in the dim room. Her wolf-like pupils shone in the darkness, observing the hot "metal" on the anvil being hit skillfully by Thalia.
Thalia's hand shines with dim white light, flowing the extreme heat into the blacksmith's hammer. Hinokagutsuchi is the God of Fire, a supreme power of the Kurogane Family.
Of course, Hinokagutsuchi is no ordinary power. Passed from generation to generation, piling up its power to the extreme. The previous wielder of [Hinokagutsuchi], Kurogane Itsuki, is a god-level Blacksmith and skilled Swordsman.
He joined Olympus as a Hesphaestus and was 'widely' known as the God of Blacksmith who could create god-level artifacts.
He was one of the 'strongest' individuals in Olympus.
Of course, there is no such thing as a perfect creature. The same goes for Itsuki.
[Hinokagutsuchi] gave one authority over Fire, Metal, Evil-Slaying, and last but not least, Potential Sealing. However, this also made the wielder of this power susceptible to curse.
When two forces meet, a cataclysm will happen.
And Itsuki died because of this.
Fortunately, Itsuki passed over his skills to his beloved daughter.
In fact, Thalia's potential is much better than him.
That's why Itsuki left his long-dreamed wish to meet [Kaiju Maker] again to Thalia.
After receiving Yu Long's teaching, Thalia's control over [Hinokagutsuchi] heightened to the extreme, and all the stockpile power left by generations of the Kurogane Family burst into her.
At the moment, Thalia's blacksmithing skill has soared to the peak, and the god-level blacksmith is no longer her peak.
So, when Chu Yuechan asked Thalia for a sword, the blacksmith instantly locked in and went to her workshop. A day has passed, and Thalia has entered a crucial stage now.
Strictly speaking, Chu Yuechan only asked for a "spare" sword because she already had a good sword in her hand [Song of the Broken Pines], but Thalia mistook her request.
Chu Yuechan was helpless. The [Song of the Broken Pines] is a supreme sword already, having ultimate cutting power, ice-attribute condensed by Yu Long himself, and even [Heavenly Wolf Star God's Legacy].
Each quality of this sword fit her perfectly.
Clank!
Clank!
Clank!
Thalia was relentless. She put every emotion into her hammer strike, shaping the hot metal into a sword.
Her white flame burst into the iron, causing "veins" to appear as she twisted the hammer strike into a weird position.
The hot metal twisted, becoming a three-meter-long stick with a bright white hue. The aura alone could put Sovereign Profound Experts to shame!!
Chu Yuechan holds her breath, "Such presence. What material did she use?"
"Essence Sphere? That can't be."
"I don't see Thalia bringing any Essence Sphere to the forging room?"
"This metal... It must be something that did not exist in this dimension."
Thalia's eyes glowed mysteriously, "Lady Chu, blood. Let the metal drink your blood and develop a connection with you!"
Chu Yuechan didn't hesitate and sliced her palm open, allowing the blood of the divine beast to stain the searing stick. She thought her blood would evaporate upon touching the forged metal but was surprised to see many mysterious runes covering it instead.
The runes took the shape of a wolf-headed monster with wings, which was the [Freezing Void Lupogriff].
A moment later. Chu Yuechan felt an intimate connection with the rune-covered metal.
"This..." She mumbled in confusion.
Thalia heaved a deep sigh, "You must be curious. This thing is indeed no ordinary metal. It's refined from a meteorite."
"The meteorite fell from that sky one day and erased a good chunk of our world, bringing all kinds of disaster and plague."
"However, disaster and luck are intertwined in one way or another."
"The refined meteorite has an ultimate adaptation property, allowing it to carry one's power and amplify it through a blood contract. Even "Uru" and "Mithril" are nothing compared to this refined meteorite."
"My father named it Symbionite."
"This Symbionite is the last one I have in my collection." Thalia closed her eyes in pain. "Most of the Symbionite was stolen by those damned gods of Olympus."
She forced herself to be calm and continued, "Anyway, let's continue."
"We are going to start the last process of Divine Forging."
"Lady Chu, protect me from the Lightning of Calamity."
BOOOM!
Thunderclouds appeared above the Demon Imperial Palace.
Chu Yuechan frowned and nodded at Thalia, "I understand."
Clank!
Clank!
Clank!
...
...
Yu Long, Huan Caiyi, and Chu Yueli just finished their bath. They were about to enter the dining room for breakfast, but the sudden weather change caused them to frown.
"This is Lightning of Calamity!" Chu Yueli witnessed some events when Yu Long made rare pills back in the day.
"Who triggered the Lightning of Calamity?" Huan Caiyi asked the real question.
Swoosh!
Yujin also appeared in the dining room, "It's an artifact! An artifact was about to be born!"
"And this is no ordinary Lightning of Calamity, too."
"It's Void-Killing Calamity that even True God is afraid to resist."
"Facing it is no different than courting death!"
Huan Caiyi and Chu Yueli's bodies become cold. They knew Yujin wouldn't lie to them.
"It's Thalia and Yuechan." Yu Long suddenly said. "It seems Thalia is forging a sword for Yuechan."
"Symbionite? Triggering Lightning Calamity is normal because it's Divine Metal that even Gods and Demons covets, but the reaction is bigger than it should be."
"The Laws of Primordial Chaos Dimension reject the advancement of Symbionite... How interesting."
"My Lord, we must evacuate the people in the palace immediately." Yujin worriedly warned.
Yu Long waved his hand, "You seemed to forget something."
"When Caiyi completed your trial, you handed me something."
"Evil God's...." Yujin's eyes widened in realization.
"Lightning Seed." Yu Long finished her words with a nod. "With this thing, any lightning calamity is considered a joke."
"Of course, I still must endure the power of void while holding Evil God's Lightning Seed."
Yujin froze on the spot, "My Lord, you can't! The power of the void is too destructive to endure! Let alone the physical body, your soul and spirit will get damaged by it!"
Yu Long smiled and waved his hand, "Don't even bother to stop me. It is just some lightning strikes."
"My goddaughter is making her first-ever Divine Weapon, and it's Yuechan's sword."
"How can I stop them?" Looking at the thunderclouds above, Yu Long wasn't afraid. He had fought against a Cosmic Storm that could devastate an entire world once; a few lightning strikes are nothing!
Huan Caiyi, Chu Yueli, and Yujin are stunned by Yu Long's conviction.
"Master is still Master." Chu Yueli sighed in her heart, patting her forehead helplessly. He even dared to endure such a thing. Perhaps only they, his women, could receive such treatments from him.
Yu Long glanced at the girls and said, "Wait for me here. I will be back soon."
...
...
Thalia's forehead was already full of sweat as she hammered the long metal into a sword, using her flame to temper the sword's body and quench it with Chu Yuechan's blood.
Chu Yuechan held the [Song of Broken Pines] and looked up solemnly, sensing a familiar presence. "Master Yu Long!"
"He..."
"Leave it to me." Yu Long's voice echoed in Chu Yuechan and Thalia's minds.
"Just focus on the sword."
"Godfather, he is..." Thalia was dumbfounded. However, she quickly calmed down and trusted Yu Long.
"Let's do this!"
"Yes." Chu Yuechan shifted her attention to Thalia, feeding the forming sword with her blood and protecting the blacksmith girl with profound energy.
