"...You should know the gist of how this all started. Robert spent a thousand years in the Restricted Area, hamring away at his forge day after day. He eventually beca the Crowned King of the Casting Realm. After I t him, he began forging the Godslaying Blade to rebel against the Gods.
In the end, he succeeded, but it also cost him his life."
Hers drank the last of the noodle soup and casually tossed the container—which vanished mid-air—and sighed. "To pursue an even more perfect Godslaying Blade, he decided to sacrifice his own life to empower it.
Before the final forging began, I asked him why he didn’t choose to live. He had the potential to ascend to godhood and could have personally sought revenge against the Gods in the future. But he just calmly replied that he was tired.
The thousands of years of tedious smithing had beco a form of torture for him. For a millennium, every single day and night, he yearned for his family, his girlfriend, and the life he once had.
In his heart, exhaustion had long since outweighed his anger, so he chose to sacrifice himself to empower the Godslaying Blade.
For Robert, it didn’t matter if he couldn’t personally slay the Gods. He had poured all his hatred and anger toward them into his greatest creation. He knew that soone would eventually co along and fulfill his purpose."
As Hers spoke, he reached out and plucked a long object from the void, wrapped in a linen burial shroud.
"This is the Godslaying Blade forged by the King of lting and Casting. Want to see it?"
"I do."
Zhou Chen couldn’t help but sit bolt upright in bed.
’This is the ultimate weapon, capable of slaying Gods!’
"Too bad. You can’t."
Hers shrugged and grinned. "What were you thinking? A Tier One like you wants to lay eyes on a Divine Artifact? Why do you think I have it wrapped in the Saint’s Shroud?"
’Then why did you even ask...’ Zhou Chen grumbled inwardly, sizing up the linen fabric. ’This thing is the Saint’s Shroud?’
Hers put the Godslaying Blade away and continued, "In the end, Robert completed the forging of the Godslaying Blade, and the only relic he left behind was the damaged Hamr of Forging you now possess.
He sealed a host of Undead inside it and told that only soone who passed its trial could wield the Hamr of Forging and receive his inheritance.
After that, I took the items and left the Restricted Area. I found the ’Prophet’—yeah, the sa guy who provides the prophecies. He was the one who predicted Erin’s certain death, but after I found him with the items, he changed his tune and said there was still a sliver of hope for her.
He only had do one thing: hide the Hamr of Forging in one of the West Wind Smuggling Gang’s crews. He said it would create a butterfly effect, causing massive ripples and drawing countless fates together.
Only now do I understand the ga he was playing."
Hers cleared his throat and explained with a serious expression, "First, the King of Chaos, as the supre existence of the Fla Realm, has a natural ability to sense creations of Authority from the sa realm. Coupled with the unique nature of the Hamr of Forging, He was certain to be extrely interested.
Second, Fallen Paradise also has a Crowned King of the Prophecy Realm. They also possess the Dead Sea Docunt. The ergence of any creation of Authority will trigger their mystical senses.
And just like that, two big fish took the bait.
Then, after one thing led to another, both sides saw they couldn’t obtain the creation of Authority quietly, so they called for backup to snatch it by force. Little did they know that everything was under the Star Association’s control. In the end, they not only failed but also suffered heavy losses.
Three days ago, the battle ended. The Star Association annihilated countless Abyssal Demons. Not only did this completely offset the costs of the war, they even turned a huge profit.
The Filthy Angels fell, the Nine-headed Demon Serpent fell, and the Purgatory Fire Demon lost its main body and two Clones. Although it didn’t die completely, it will definitely take a long ti for it to recover.
Most importantly, the King of Chaos was severely injured, and Purgatory suffered a devastating blow. It’ll be years before they can recover."
Hers couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. "That crafty bastard really plays the long ga. This ti, he not only dealt a heavy blow to Chaos Purgatory but also made Fallen Paradise lose a Tier Five.
On top of that, the Godslaying Weapon project was a massive success. It killed one of the Purgatory Fire Demon’s Clones head-on, even without its adaptive Matrix installed.
Daun, one of the forr Seven Great Bishops of the Dawn Church, proved he’s still got it by killing another one of the Purgatory Fire Demon’s Clones. It looks like he might be making a coback.
The Hamr of Forging found a new master, the girl who was fated to die was saved...
A happy ending all around."
Thinking of the crafty bastard, Hers was filled with admiration. Don’t be fooled by how smoothly everything seed to go on the surface; behind the scenes, the Prophet was essential in fanning the flas.
For example, he had run errands to get the materials needed for a certain component of the Godslaying Weapon, which greatly shortened its developnt ti and allowed it to be deployed in battle ahead of schedule.
For another example, so ti ago, he worked with the Star Association to ambush several Tier Fives from Fallen Paradise. That’s why Fallen Paradise could only send two Tier Fives for this operation, and one of them, the Filthy Angels, was on the kill list...
It was because of all these behind-the-scenes preparations that the plan went off without a hitch and resulted in a total victory.
After hearing Hers’s explanation, Zhou Chen finally pieced together the whole story. The Hamr of Forging was the source of everything.
Just as Stand ssengers are drawn to one another, creations of Authority also attract a great deal of covetous attention, like a black hole of fate, triggering all sorts of events.
"Wait, you said earlier that the Hamr of Forging is damaged?" Zhou Chen suddenly asked.
"Yeah. You didn’t really think forging the Godslaying Blade was that easy, did you?
Robert was the one and only King of lting and Casting in this world, and it still took him several hundred years to forge the Godslaying Blade. In the end, even his Demigod Divinity shattered. Of course the Hamr of Forging was damaged too."
