Chapter 971 - 481: Apocalypse Divine Artifact

Chapter 971: Chapter 481: Apocalypse Divine Artifact

"Scythe of the End?"

"The kind of weapon we handed over to you earlier."

"Ah."

Lily exclaimed: "That was amazing! Although it’s only Level 9, from the elemental perspective, it seems to have a power close to the law."

"They were originally meant to be Legendary weapons."

Li Ang and the Dragon God Witch explained that the Apocalypse Weapon is the ultimate weapon crafted by ancient gods using Spirit Casting Art. With the power of that god, the weapon can harness the ultimate elemental power, achieving the dual annihilation effect of ’Absolute Veto’ and ’Eternal Rebirth’ for the corresponding element.

"Because I haven’t reached the Legendary Level, the power of the Apocalypse Weapon is limited and unable to demonstrate true divine might."

"You can teach me, let me wield this super power." Lily raised her thumb, pointing at herself.

This scene seems reminiscent of a comedy movie?

Li Ang held back from teasing this guy: "The ’Speed Control’ that all Primordial Beings know, I’ve also told Inanna and Diao how to use it. You can follow along and give it a try."

Liluliss immediately went to find the Druid Maiden and the Dragon Maiden, and Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, finally sending the annoyance away.

They conversed, Lily listened intently for a while, and soon fainted with dizziness on a large rock.

This witch, how did she earn Bahamut’s favor? Li Ang thought.

He also saw similar doubt in Inanna’s eyes.

Lily wasn’t the same as Zoe. Zoe seemed more like a wild child from a lack of guidance, yet she felt more at ease than Lily. However, due to her physique, she absorbed power from the Star Soul, exhibiting extraordinary talent in learning, so it seemed as though she wasn’t focused on studying.

Not sure what mystical qualities Zoe’s father possessed, but combined with the Dragon God Witch to give birth to a "Divine Child" like Zoe.

Shaking his head, Li Ang focused on mastering the Creation Formula.

This was a choice he had been contemplating and now implementing: using the Creation Formula and Divine Crimson Gold, the purest of both, to create the true Apocalypse Weapon.

These two that gather creation power, one presents in energy form while the other in material form, perfectly complement the lacking power in his Spirit Casting Art construction.

With them, the Apocalypse Weapon can solidify, forming a concrete weapon.

That will likely be a Legendary Weapon.

As an artisan, even though he hadn’t mastered the skill to craft Treasure Artifacts, yet constructing a Legendary Weapon seems a significant leap.

If it weren’t for the ancient knowledge granted directly by Ten Thousand Spirits, it wouldn’t have been possible. Furthermore, one piece of Divine Crimson Gold comes from the Fire Dragon, and another is a treasure acquired from the Illusion Realm, and the Creation Formula takes out only one portion; such items cannot be replicated.

Even at the world’s inception, these are extremely precious, used for creation, it’s expected for a corresponding result.

Previously having only one piece of Divine Crimson Gold, he intended to keep it well for any significant need that might arise, but after obtaining the second piece, he started having thoughts, ultimately making this decision.

Li Ang spent nearly one morning, getting familiar with how to stabilize the Creation Formula, ensuring that during the Spirit Cast Apocalyptic Artifact process, this power wouldn’t be wasted.

He retrieved the Divine Crimson Gold from the treasure vault, allowing it to hover in Demon’s Hand’s palm, its soul-captivating glow drawing Lily’s gaze during her morning practice.

This item, due to gathering creation power, seemed to attract all living beings in Nebis, inducing the deepest desires and even appetite.

If there’s a chocolate like this, Li Ang felt he would want to gobble it up without thinking.

However, being a self-proclaimed witch able to communicate with the Creator, her mental strength is remarkably high, only occasionally glimpsing it, mostly concentrating on her morning exercise.

She sat upright on the water’s surface, running over the water, performing moves akin to gymnastics, yet similar to techniques from ancient martial arts.

Li Ang hadn’t taken the Fighter profession, but as a swordsman, which is a classic warrior profession, he understood some hand-to-hand combat moves, and having seen various fists-and-kicks masters battle, like "Brilliant Fist" Olivia’s fist techniques and kicking skills, allowed him to judge Lily’s martial arts prowess as high.

Without seeing her panel, he could only speculate that the sect might also have fists-and-kicks instructors, and Liluliss likely had a Fighter profession.

Without such a profession, she wouldn’t be able to exert the power of her Dragon God descent stance.

Once Lily finished practicing and happily announced her significant recovery, Li Ang was ready.

"Is it starting?"

The three beauties with varying charms looked over together.

Li Ang nodded, wrapping the Divine Crimson Gold with the light strip of the Creation Formula. Once these two touched, they emitted a blinding light akin to the core of a star, yet both were stable in construction, without triggering direct reactions.

Grabbing Orichalcum, gathering the purest ether, Demon’s Hand grasped it, and the Spirit Casting began.

Energy and matter underwent exquisite spiritual manipulation, dissociated and reconstituted during the crafting of the Apocalypse Weapon. Creation energy and matter infused into it, golden light diffused into rings, they multiplied, forming a light egg finally.

The four present stared dumbfounded at the light egg, enveloped in a glow that seemed capable of warming the soul.

This is the crucible that forges all things, the womb for the renaissance of profound objects.

"I hear Father God..."

"I seem to hear Little Baha..."

"Ten Thousand Spirits are..."

The three beside spoke simultaneously, but Li Ang was no longer able to hear their words beyond that.

A pure power resembling a blossoming lotus surrounded him.

Once he emerged from the surging force, under the amazed stares of the young girls, a weapon of majestic beauty quietly floated before him.

"Is it successful?" "Was it created?" The three asked eagerly.

This weapon is a great scythe, manifesting a dark golden hue. Its blade arc flows smoothly and perfectly, with its edge compressing extreme heat. Feather patterns are engraved on the scythe handle, unrelated to birds; this is merely the imagery of power bursting forth, solidified on its exterior. The overwhelming force seems ready to disperse with each swing, incinerating everything.

[Apocalypse Divine Artifact: Eternal Rebirth Scythe]

[Utilizing the Creation Formula and Divine Crimson Gold, crossing boundaries to solidify the Apocalypse Device through Spirit Casting Art. It embodies within the Law of the End of Fire the aspect of "Eternal Rebirth," its blooming red lotus capable of eternally burning all things and evil deeds. The scythe has not yet reached its utmost power; its true strength requires guidance from the law.]

[Tier: 10]

[Category: Giant Axe·Magic Staff]

[The second existence: Apocalypse Divine Artifact: Fire]

[Attack/Spell Enhancement: Endless Red Lotus]

[Equipment Skills: Law of the End of Fire·Eternal Rebirth, Annihilation Revelation·[Unfilled], Power of the Shining Sun·[Unfilled][Concept]]

The description text isn’t long, but each item contains vast amounts of information.

The system presents text according to Li Ang’s understanding, and this information may change later. Now, as he previously comprehended, the panel tells him that the laws of the end of each element indeed possess duality, and the Apocalypse Fire Scythe before him embodies the "Eternal Rebirth" aspect, capable of unleashing the endless red lotus.

The choice of the fire attribute was, firstly, because it’s intuitively the strongest in destructive power, and secondly, because when harmonizing the Creation Formula, he felt this thing had a connection with the Legendary Law. Besides being a manifestation of the Law of the End, it seems to transcend ordinary Legendary Laws, with choices to cooperate with them to exert power.

[Skills: Law of the End of Fire·Eternal Rebirth]

[Activation Method: Hold the Eternal Rebirth Scythe]

[Freely unleash the endless Red Lotus Tribulation Fire according to one’s will]

The first skill is the core property of this weapon. By using it, one can emit flames of legendary level, no, even the strongest in this world, with even the endless fire element gathering to be controlled by the holder.

[Skills: Annihilation Revelation·[Unfilled]]

[Activation Method: Hold the Eternal Rebirth Scythe]

[Fill the legendary law to obtain corresponding power]

This seems to be a power that changes according to the user’s intentions. Similar equipment or Treasure Artifacts exist, and Li Ang has seen them, but this degree is the first time, filling a legendary law? What does that count as?

During its spirit casting, this should be what he sensed, so Li Ang turned the weapon into a fire attribute, because now he relies on the system’s only legendary law "Melting and Gathering Law," which leans towards the flame’s characteristics.

[Skills: Power of the Shining Sun·[Unfilled][Concept]]

[Activation Method: Hold the Eternal Rebirth Scythe]

[Fill high-quality materials to obtain corresponding array protection]

The third item is also an expandable power, but what is needed isn’t the law, but fire attribute materials.

This is also why Li Ang chose the fire attribute; he still holds two Level 9 Purest Fire Star Crystals. It’s just unexpected that it can relate to arrays, but ever since knowing that array power comes from the Great Spirit, this doesn’t seem surprising anymore.

"Why are you daydreaming? Try it out?" Lily, filled with curiosity, urged impatiently.

Li Ang ended his thoughts, stretched out his hand, and grasped the scythe handle under the gaze of the three.

Instantly, pure flames blossomed around Li Ang like petals. He promptly tried to control these flames, which avoided the three young girls standing aside as he intended.

However, besides them, everything the flames touched ignited.

The small river was incinerated and dried in an instant, water plants and the cress turned to flying ash, stones persisted a bit longer, then melted into magma, drying into ashes.

All surrounding quickly turned to ashes; all spirits lamented while fleeing. Centered on Li Ang, the ring of ash expanded outward, everything along its path reduced to charred soil.

With a clang, the Apocalypse Scythe fell to the ground, Li Ang staggered, unable to catch his breath, the tribulation flame extinguished, and the distant river water surged forth, rushing over the ashes, the turbid surge rolling far away.

Amidst the dark ash flow, the Apocalypse Fire Scythe lay quietly, as if it hadn’t just unleashed such terrifying disaster flames.

Lily and Diao stood speechless beside him, and it was Inanna who spoke first after a long while.

"The power of the Primordial Being... no, Zosia’s power, reemerges in the world."

"Is it with this that Zosia firmly holds the second leader position among divine spirits?"

"Pretty much, but he also has other means."

"Alright then."

Li Ang wiped the sweat trickling due to the intense power extraction causing bodily weakness.

Zosia has twelve of these.

This is not a Treasure Artifact, truly naming it, even calling it a Divine Artifact feels inadequate; it is entirely a Demon Artifact.

This thing lacks an energy source, instead, it’s a devourer beast, possibly even the spirits operating it might be consumed together. Just now, the magic power provided by Orichalcum wasn’t enough for it to draw, so it drew from Li Ang’s own energy.

Fortunately, without activating its true power, using it as an ordinary weapon to slash is nearly unbreakable.

"Bad news, it cannot be held continuously," Li Ang said.

Diao nodded: "I can see that, Great Witch, you held it with difficulty."

"Good news, against that Skeleton Demon, it should surely win," Li Ang added.
