Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill

Chapter 476:Divine Soul Flame

After calming down and carefully absorbing the forging talent, Ethan slowly shifted his attention toward the next reward.

” Greatsword forging manual.”

He focused on the notification.

The next moment a faint flash of light appeared in the quiet chamber.A thick manual suddenly materialized in his hands.

Ethan instinctively grasped it.

The cover of the manual felt heavy and cold. Strange runic symbols were engraved across the surface while faint star-like patterns shimmered across the metal plates that formed its binding.

“This thing looks serious,” Ethan murmured quietly.

He slowly opened the manual.

The pages were filled with dense information about forging techniques, rune structures, and extremely advanced weapon construction principles.

But what caught his attention immediately were the materials listed in the first few pages.

Ethan’s brows slowly lifted as he read.

“Admantium… Celestial Iron… Void Silver…”

Each of those materials was considered extremely rare.

Admantium alone was a legendary metal known for its near indestructible structure and incredible mana conductivity. Only the most powerful weapons were forged using even small traces of it.

Celestial Iron was another rare material that fell from meteorites and possessed unusual affinity with cosmic energy.

Void Silver was used in advanced enchantments and dimensional stabilizing runes.

Ethan slowly turned the page.

But the next requirement made him pause completely.

“Star Dust Essence.”

Ethan stared at the words for several seconds.

The manual described it in detail.

Star Dust Essence was a condensed fragment of cosmic energy formed from the collapse of star fragments drifting through space. It was not a simple material like metal or crystal.

Instead it was a concentrated energy substance capable of stabilizing and amplifying the core structure of extremely high level weapons.

Without Star Dust Essence the forging of a true Star Forge Greatsword could not be completed.

Ethan slowly leaned back while holding the manual.

“That explains everything.”

He knew about this item.

Star Dust Essence was an ultra rare substance that almost never appeared in open markets.

In fact, nearly all of it had been collected and hoarded by the Merchant Association.They controlled most of the rare resource trade across several kingdoms.

Which meant only one thing.

Star Dust Essence could only be purchased through them.

And even then it would probably cost an insane amount of money.

Ethan closed the manual slowly.

“…Fuck.”

The curse slipped out of his mouth before he could stop it.

He rubbed his forehead while exhaling slowly.

Then he gradually calmed down.

“Well… at least everything else can be bought.”

The other materials, although rare, were still obtainable if one had enough resources and connections.

But Star Dust Essence would require negotiation with the Merchant Association.

Ethan placed the manual beside him.

“I’ll deal with that later.”

Then his gaze moved toward the next reward.

“Divine Soul Flame.”

He focused on the notification.

The system panel appeared again.

Divine Soul Flame..It can be used for refining but the true strength lies in attacking.

[Divine Soul Flame]

Rank: Growth Type

Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He read the description carefully.

The Divine Soul Flame is a rare soul-based flame that allows the user to directly burn the soul of an opponent. The flame does not target the physical body but instead attacks the spiritual core of the enemy, causing severe soul damage and disrupting their consciousness.

Warning: The soul intent of the opponent must be around a similar level to the user.

If the opponent’s soul strength greatly exceeds the user’s, the flame will have limited effect.

Ethan slowly leaned back after reading the description.

“Wooo… woo…”

He let out a low whistle.

“Now that is some serious shit.”

A flame capable of directly damaging the soul was extremely dangerous.Most attacks targeted the body.Some rare techniques targeted mana channels.

But soul attacks were on an entirely different level.

Even powerful warriors feared such abilities.

Ethan rubbed his chin while thinking about it.

“Direct soul damage…”

That meant even heavily armored enemies or high level knights could be severely weakened if their souls were attacked.

Of course the warning was also important.

If the enemy’s soul was far stronger, the effect would be minimal.

Still, the ability itself was incredibly valuable.

Ethan nodded slowly.

“One more thing I should thank the system for.”

Most of the abilities the system provided were growth type.

That meant they had no fixed rank limitation.

Unlike normal techniques that became useless at higher levels, growth type abilities continued evolving alongside the user.

Ethan looked at the floating system panel once more.

“So as long as I keep growing… These abilities will grow with me.”

A faint smile slowly appeared on his face.

“That’s a pretty good deal.”

Finally Ethan picked up the last item.

The Draconic Bloodline Potion.

A small crystal vial appeared in his hand as the system materialized it in front of him. The liquid inside the vial glowed faintly with a deep crimson color mixed with a strange dark shimmer that looked almost like tiny fragments of night swirling inside it.

Ethan raised the vial closer to his eyes.

The moment he read the system description, he almost jumped.

[Draconic Potion]

Contains 15% purity of Flame Dragon and 5% bloodline of Void Dragon.

Ethan blinked twice.

“A mixed Draconic potion… and it also has the power of a Void Dragon.”

His expression turned slightly strange as he stared at the swirling liquid inside the vial.

Flame Dragons were already extremely powerful creatures that controlled destructive fire capable of melting steel and stone.

But Void Dragons were something else entirely.

Those creatures were rumored to possess terrifying control over space and void energy.

Having both bloodlines mixed in a single potion felt… unusual.

“The description feels a bit odd,” Ethan muttered quietly.

“What exactly was it mixed with?”

He raised the potion slightly while frowning.

“System, it won’t harm me, will it?”

The system responded almost immediately.

[Of course not host.]

[You can assimilate as many bloodlines as you want.]

Ethan relaxed slightly after hearing that.

But the system message continued.

[However…]

[If you assimilate the bloodline of too many species, your body might morph and the mutation may cause significant changes.]

Ethan’s brows slowly lifted.

“Mutation…?”

The system continued explaining.

[You can also ask a mage to draw out the ability from the potion.]

[Even if the bloodline potion contains the bloodline of two or three beasts, it will not cause significant changes.]

Ethan nodded slowly while thinking about it.

That sounded manageable.

Last time he had obtained a Troll Bloodline Potion.

He had passed that one to Randall.

Ethan suddenly froze.

“…Wait a minute.”

He slowly lowered the potion while frowning.

“Where the hell is Randall?”

Ethan scratched the side of his head.

“I haven’t seen him for months.”

His expression slowly turned suspicious.

“What the hell?”

“Did that idiot run away?”

Then another thought suddenly crossed his mind.

“…Or did I give him some order and completely forget about it?”

Ethan leaned back slightly while staring at the ceiling.

For several seconds he tried recalling the last time he had spoken with Randall.

But nothing immediately came to mind.

“Damn.”

“I really need to check where that guy disappeared to.”
