Chapter 1765: An Exhausting Process!
RUMBLE!
The Formation activated, making the ground around us tremble rapidly, the giant hands of Rakasha and his enormous hammer smithed through the fusing weapons, as Kate and her mother continued fusing them together.
At the same time, Fuyu and I unleashed our divine powers into the formation itself, strengthening it and keeping it going as it continued to grow stronger rapidly. The four weapons didn"t panic, thankfully, and seamlessly combined together.
Their materials rapidly melted into each node, fusing with the marbles meant to evolve their souls. At the same time as they began to merge together, their souls were evolving all at the same time.
Naturally, in normal circ.u.mstances, this would mean that every weapon would evolve into their next stage individually, right?
Well, once they started evolving, while fusing, things changed, as they became one, the four evolution processes stacked with one another.
This made it so their fusion didn"t start evolving just one, two, three, and then four times! As everything happened, I dedicated myself to separate their soul"s consciousness even as they merged into a single ent.i.ty, using threads made out of my own soul to carefully st.i.tch them both together, and also apart.
The other divine treasures, the divine G.o.d weapon from the raid shop, and the demonic beast bone axe merged seamlessly with them as well.
CRACKLE!
RUBMLE!
The ground kept trembling, the skies turned black, thunder fell from the skies as the earth and the sky shook constantly. The creation of this weapon didn"t come without any big event.
After all, I was a Venerable trying to forge a Venerable Weapon, it wasn"t something normal and easy!
"Something"s wrong!" Rakasha said. "The fusion is unstable! We need more essence, more materials!"
"Yeah, I can feel it too, the materials given are not enough, it"ll end in a failure!" said Fuyu. "Drake, do you have more materials to give? Anything!"
"We need more materials!" said Kate. "Papa?"
"Sure, I got your back!" I smiled with a nod.
And yeah, this wasn"t enough, the fusion wasn"t working properly even after all of this... we needed more materials.
And good thing I had what we needed with me.
Quickly, four large cubes and scrolls were thrown into the formation, melting into energy, and fusing into the weapon that was being created.
These were Divine Equipment Enhancement Stone and Divine Equipment Potential Awakening Cube! Usually used to enhance a weapon that"s already finished, but I used them right away, giving the weapon being made an even stronger start.
The still developing fused weapon quickly started awakening its potential and at the same time, gaining several enhancements in a row.
Yet...
RUMBLE!
"Not enough!" Rakasha said.
"Okay then!"
I quickly opened my inventory, throwing several of Tiamat"s Scale Fragments into the formation. The result was almost instant as explosions of rainbow light and primordial energies erupted into the sky.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
They would have been deadly to us before, but that wasn"t the case anymore, with me here, I singlehandedly tanked all hits using my special Divinity Core Armor.
"Tiamat"s Scale Fragments?!" Fuyu gasped. "Are you insane, Drake?!"
"Don"t worry, the armor I have can withstand it for now!" I said. "Concentrate on it, we"re almost there...!"
"Almost!" said Rakasha. "Wait... something"s needed..."
Kate and Andromeda"s eyes widened.
"Papa! There"s an imbalance! The Divinity is stronger than the Demonic power, it"ll make the weapon unstable, and it"ll break upon creation!" said Kate.
"We have to add Demonic Treasures, but you spent most of them when you created the facilities... what else can we add?" wondered Andromeda.
"Ahh, don"t worry, I got this!"
I quickly opened my inventory, as the corpses of dozens of demons began falling into the formation, disintegrating, and turning into pure raw power for the weapon.
The demonic power slowly began to increase, but it was still not stable enough, shaking and constantly trembling.
However, that wasn"t going to be enough, it increased a bit, but it needed more power, more... soul to it!
Alright then, next ingredient!
"{Demonic Spirit: Fire-Spitting Demon Wolf Marchosias}!"
FLUOSH!
Four giant demonic wolf spirits made of fire emerged in front of me, taking the form of ma.s.sive weapons, which I sent towards the formation.
"Absorb them!"
The formation shook one last time, as the four giant demonic spirit weapons were absorbed, turning into pure raw energy, the weapon fusion finally began taking form.
I helped Rakasha using my own blacksmithing techniques and my durability, taking several of the explosions the formation generated as an aftereffect of its growth.
FLAAASH!
The energies gathered, turning into demonic rainbow flames, dragons, beasts, demons, spirits, sea creatures, t.i.tans made of ice, shadow beasts, and more emerged.
"ROOAARR!"
"GRUOOHH!"
"SHAAAHH!"
"What"s happening now?!" cried Fuyu.
"Those are Alchemy Spirit Beasts!" said Rakasha. "This is one of the few times I"ve ever seen them appear! They only materialize when a lot of powerful ingredients are being merged, usually so strong they have lingering wills of their own! Such wills materialize into perilous, powerful beasts! If you can"t beat them, the whole process ends in a failure! But if you win, their bodies will end up making the resulting item... even stronger!"
"Hooh?" I smiled. "Then leave this to me!"
I quickly used my gigantic, draconic arms to punch all the beasts with tremendous force. Yeah, they were strong, but I was just stronger.
BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!
The beasts were destroyed, torn to shreds, decapitated, slashed, and pierced by my fists, my fingers and sharp claws worked as both blades and spears, cleaving through them all.
"You belong on my new weapon, you beasts! So get back there and give me what I want!"
Without stopping, I continued punching them inside, one after another, until they became just mere paste made of spiritual energies, fusing back into the formation.
And then.
RUMBLE!
A giant explosion emerged, a huge arc of rainbow demonic flames echoed, reaching the skies,
and splitting the heavens into two.
BOOOMMM!!!
The creation of this weapon generated a huge shockwave, sending us all flying away.
