Chapter 1636 A Hard Task
-----
Kate"s miraculous Abilities seemed to slowly begin to affect the ma.s.sive Scale of Tiamat. Slowly, the Scale began to gain cracks in the shape of smaller shields, yet it was offering tremendous resistance. This was perhaps the first time Kate was experiencing this type of resistance from a material.
"Oof… Hahh… P-Papa, this is hard! The big scale doesn"t want to change… My Divine Power and Mana are depleting quickly!" Kate was gasping for air. "Help!"
"Okay, got it." I nodded, touching her shoulders and imbuing her with my Mana and Divine Power.
FLASH!
With the newly gained energies, Kate was much more stable, but the changes were very slow, her powers seemed to be always absolute, but it seemed that wasn"t the case. When they faced a level of material beyond her capabilities, it would be impossible or incredibly hard to do it.
She was doing it, she was changing the scale, but it was becoming so slow that it might take days. And I don"t think she can take doing this for days, she"ll pa.s.s out before that happens, and I believe the scale"s state might revert if we finish this halfway through.
"We need more than that, papa…!" Kate said.
"Yeah, I noticed." I nodded. "Alright, that"s where everyone else enters! Rakasha, expand your Smithing and Crafting Domain around the scale, use your hammer and smack it!"
"Okay, but it won"t respond with beams like before, right?!" Rakasha asked, half nervous.
"It shouldn"t!" Kate said. "I am controlling the fluctuations of energy of the scale towards one direction, so it can"t retaliate anymore against attacks… for now."
"As she said, let"s trust my daughter." I smiled. The origin of this chapter"s debut can be traced to n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).
"Very well." Rakasha nodded.
His Divine Aura expanded everywhere, as his powers manifested as a gigantic blazing forge that engulfed almost the entire Scale. His entire body grew in size to as much as he could, becoming roughly sixty meters tall.
Using his enormous and muscular arms, Rakasha summoned his giant divine hammer, adjusting its size to his own through his Divinity and beginning to smash the scale with it.
CLANK! CLANK!
CLANK!
With each hit, the scale spread out Divine Essence, trying to adjust the size of the material. It was helping a slight amount, as I noticed magic circles spread across the scale, trying to reinforce Kate"s own ability.
"Surtr!" I called.
"Got it! So multiple shields? I"ll simply follow little Kate"s lead then." Surtr had a very similar ability to Kate.
Although his ability was more about combining materials together into new ones, it didn"t differ too much from Kate"s own abilities. Although they were much more refined as they were bound to a powerful Unique Skill.
"{Heavenly Smith}!"
FLUOSH!
He pointed his giant, draconic hands at the scale, as a flash of golden light and red light engulfed the giant scale, slowly, it began to help Kate"s own ability continue to spread its influence, much faster than before now.
He was also using his Origin Flames at their maximum power, and I even noticed the Divine Fire Dragon Souls appearing and using their own powers to further force the scale to change.
"Emerald! What are you waiting for, my boy?" I asked.
"B-But I don"t know if it"ll work!" He cried.
"Just use them!" I said.
"O-Okay! Dammit!" Emerald cried.
Emerald spread out his wings and flew into the skies, pointing his sharp, golden claws into the scale. A giant tornado of heavenly emerald winds emerged, spinning around scales and slowly beginning to imbue them with its divine element.
This was how he created divine equipment, and it was a very unique yet strange way that Rakasha confirmed was indeed similar to Alchemy, Synthesis, and Blacksmith Magic.
RUMBLE!
The scale kept resisting even with the power of everyone, the ground below beginning to shatter down, our surroundings trembling, it felt like the mountain we were standing on was beginning to fall apart.
"This is not over yet, dammit!" I roared. "Tiamat! Why the h.e.l.l did you gave your scale if I wouldn"t be able to use it?! I have to, I must!"
As I roared furiously, I pointed my hands towards the scale, activating my Divine Alchemy and Divine Blacksmithing Arts together, further reinforced with my System Unique Skill.
A wave of silver and blue energy permeated the entire scale, on top of Rakasha, Surtr, Emerald, and Kate"s powers.
"System…! Please, help!"
"I am doing my best!"
The System kept draining away my Divine Power and Mana, as she began to interconnect the power of everyone into an endless sea of rainbow divine light.
The rainbow shone the brightest it could ever be!
Yet… it was not enough!
"Not enough?!"
"I"m doing everything I can! T-The scale is at a level we simply can"t go against… And this is merely a speck of the power of one of the Primordial G.o.ds…!"
"No, this is not over… NOT YET!"
FLAAASH!
I connected my powers to the rest of the Divine Realm, streams of Elemental Divine Essence of every inch of my Divine Realm reached the scales, swirling around and imbuing it with their powers.
Aside from that, I activated my Spirit Creation Unique Skill too, trying to combine countless spirits into the scales. Yet it was not enough!
"f.u.c.k!"
As we screamed and kept trying, something came from the skies, a beautiful and small G.o.ddess of the Sea, made completely out of water, resembling a cute sea nymph.
"Hey, Drake! I came to give you a hand!"
"Aegir!"
Right, Aegir was around, she"s a Primordial G.o.ddess too, right? A Minor one connected to Sea and Time, but she"s still one.
The blue orb shone brightly within her, as she showed the results of her training so far.
"Look how strong I"ve got!"
The entire seas of my Divine Realm were summoned from an incredibly far away area, directly into her body through some sort of summoning magic.
It was something she was unable to do before!
SPLAAASH!
The water hit the scale, its enormous powers clashing against one another.
And the scale shape finally began to change, for real.
