Chapter 147

After their fight ended, the surrounding mirror space shattered completely, and they both reappeared on the outskirts of Ironforge.

In the battle's final outcome, Luode neither lost nor won; neither side went all out, but Luode now had a rough estimate of his combat power—he had surpassed Yonko level.

At least, even when Kaido unleashed his Demon Dragon Form, he couldn't take Luode down; if they kept fighting, the victor might actually be Luode.

Because his life energy is now stronger, his stamina will also be greater.

Moreover, it appears that his mirror space technique also has a limit to how much damage it can withstand.

This time, the aftermath of his battle with Kaido had already destroyed that space; if he wanted to use it to trap enemies, he'd also need to gauge their strength.

"How was it? Who won?" Yamato came running over and said.

"Or maybe my father-in-law is a bit stronger." Luode chuckled and said.

"No need to be modest, kid—you've already fought me to a draw."

"If you use your special ability, I'm no match for you." Kaido set his Wolf Tooth Club on the ground and said.

Luode this brat hasn't fully unleashed his power yet! And as for Kaido—he's now inferior to this kid in the Innate Level.

Luode's growth speed will be faster in the future, while his will slow down; this kid surpassing him is just a matter of time.

Moreover, more importantly, the Dragon Bloodline Suppression is very powerful; Luode could completely rely on that to take him down.

"Tch! Fine, call it a draw then!" Yamato said.

The surrounding dwarves, as well as envoys from other allied races, scattered at the sight of this.

They had thought there would be another exciting battle to watch, but Luode's mirror space directly pulled him and Kaido inside; when they reappeared, the fight was already over.

"I felt a strong spatial disturbance—you actually created something like a mirror space? This kind of magic exists only in theory." Jaina walked over and said.

As one of the most powerful mages in the World of Azeroth, she clearly sensed that Luode's recent move had actually created a mirror space around them.

This move! And the portal move too—both are incredibly useful; she really wants to learn it. When Luode cast the spell just now, it seemed he only waved his hand, with no incantation at all—truly amazing.

Luode heard this, smiled, and said nothing—"little miss, you won't be able to learn it."

This isn't casting with arcane energy; it's another magic system, based on space energy as its foundation.

"Tch! After a fight, the alcohol's worn off—I'm going back for another round." Kaido stretched his body and left.

"Mr. Kaido still wants to drink—come on, we'll keep him company to the end, let him see the dwarves' drinking capacity." A dwarf blacksmith said.

The surrounding dwarves then brought out barrel after barrel of strong liquor and started drinking with Kaido.

After fighting his father-in-law, Luode declined a certain female mage's attempt to detain him.

He returned to the place arranged for him in Ironforge, planning to rest; tomorrow he would forge his and Yamato's weapons.

"Your strength keeps growing—I can't fall behind either." Yamato said.

Isn't that right? Even that damn old man can't take Luode down now.

"After a while, I'll also give you a life energy infusion." Luode said.

Yamato's Beast-type Ability, Maw True God Form, is also a divine beast wielding ice power; if Azeroth wishes, it could also be infused with life force, just like Kaido and himself.

Currently, the energy of six Infinity Stones has been gathered—two collected, four remaining; Luode plans to do so the next time he goes to the Marvel World.

He intends to find a way to fully collect the power of all six Infinity Stones, then give Azeroth a major upgrade, after which he'll let Ajiang perform a life-force infusion on Yamato.

"Alright, go to sleep quickly—tomorrow we need to forge your and my weapons." Luode said.

"Mm!" Yamato nodded, then lay down in Luode's arms.

No talk all night! The next morning at dawn, Luode and Yamato rose early; as for Kaido, after drinking all night with those dwarves yesterday, he's only just fallen asleep.

Last night Kaido earned the respect of the entire dwarf tribe—this guy alone drank enough to knock out hundreds of dwarves, using dwarf strong liquor.

"Should I go wake that damn old man?" Yamato said.

"Let my father-in-law keep sleeping—the upcoming operation doesn't need his help either." Luode said.

The weapons to be forged next are also huge, but barely within normal human limits—no longer needing Kaido's help.

Magni Bronzebeard, together with Muradin Bronzebeard, brought two fist-sized blue ore stones to Luode and the others—this is exactly the Titan God Iron the two dwarves had privately hoarded! (Titan God Iron isn't as common as in-game; it can be mined anywhere in Northrend, extremely precious, found only in some Titan relics.) "When we forge the weapons later, I'll mix a bit of Titan God Iron in—effect should be better, but only enough for one weapon, so I'll give it to you!" Magni, looking at Luode, said.

This is their entire dwarf tribe's stockpile; back when they forged Ashbringer, he couldn't bear to part with it.

"Thank you, King Magni." Luode said.

The effect of Titan God Iron need not be elaborated—adding it to one's weapon will indeed greatly improve its quality.

But alas! Only two fist-sized stones exist, so only his own weapon can receive them—Yamato doesn't even get a share.

"There's nothing to be done—the Titan God Iron reserves are simply too scarce." Magni Bronzebeard said.

"You turned into that giant hammer yesterday—it must be made of Titan God Iron, right?" Luode suddenly said.

Those two fist-sized pieces of Titan God Iron seem a bit insufficient! Luode suddenly had an incredibly lewd idea.

"Exactly! The ability you gave me is really useful—I can now freely shift into a Titan God Iron hammer state, making weapon forging very convenient.

"Alas! Although I can become Titan God Iron, I can't extract it, since it's all part of my body." Magni Bronzebeard said.

Being able to transform into top-tier forging material, yet being unable to use it— for a blacksmith, that's truly agonizing.

"I say, King Magni, if you were given limb regeneration, couldn't you produce a bit of Titan God Iron?" Luode asked.

In Iron Man 3, that guy Killian had his arm cut off and grew it back in about a second.

If that ability were used on Magni Bronzebeard's body—oh ho! I can't even imagine an automatic Titan God Iron production machine. "How could limb regeneration possibly happen?" Magni said.

Even the most miraculous healing-type spell only treats wounds and restores condition—but if you're talking about regrowing a severed limb, that's basically impossible.

Natural magic, Holy Light Energy—none can do it.

"I have a very special potion that can give you the power to control high-temperature flames, and it can also keep broken branches on your body." Luode took out a bottle of desperate potion and said.

"Luode, you're not joking, are you?" Mai Ge Ni Tong Xu said.

"I'm not joking; this is called the desperate potion, it's very miraculous, do you two want to try it?" Luode said.

The desperate potion still has many development directions.

"Could it also be a kind of power similar to that of devil fruits?" "Big brother! Why don't we give it a try? If it really works, that would be titan god steel!" Mu La Ding Tong Xu said.

My older brother's arm fell off; that must be several dozen catties of Titan God Iron, right? No, no, the weight of Titan God Iron is huge—a fist‑sized chunk weighs several hundred catties.

My older brother turned into a Titan God Iron hammer, immensely heavy—only that big guy could swing it; an arm falling off would weigh over a thousand catties, which seems plausible.

That's enough to forge two ordinary‑sized weapons.

"Why don't we give it a try?" Maigenitongxu said eagerly.

Titan God Iron and such, for him the top‑ranked blacksmith of the whole Aizelasi, is also a huge temptation.

Luode smiled and nodded, handing the Desperation Potion to Maigenitongxu.

"Drink it directly?"

"Cough! This is different from some potions of the Aizelasi world; it needs to be injected into the body. Pull off the cap—there's a needle inside—just stick it into yourself." Luode said.

Maigeni nodded as well, then injected the Desperation Potion directly into his body.

Soon Maigenitongxu underwent a change—his whole body began to shake violently, a layer of crimson energy lines covered his skin, he gave off intense heat, and then flickers of flame appeared.

After about ten or so minutes, Maigenitongxu returned to normal, raised his arm—intense heat began to show, his whole arm turned bright red and started to burn.

"Good heavens, this power is truly amazing—brother, you now have the ability to control fire; your forging skill is absolutely far beyond what it was before." Muldingtongxu said.

"Yeah! With this power to control high‑temperature fire, I'll become even stronger, especially when melting various metals." Maigenitongxu said.

This man named Luode brought me something unimaginable—even the Dwarf King felt a bit embarrassed.

There's no way around it—I have to forge him a top‑tier weapon in return.

"King Maigeni, try turning into Titan God Iron form first, then chop off your whole arm to test it." Luode said.

Maigenitongxu nodded, then raised one arm and took a deep breath.

He directly turned his whole arm into a Titan God Iron hammer, then began to imbue it with high‑temperature power.

After imbuing it with high‑temperature power, it becomes easier to cut, when the high temperature reaches a critical value.

Maigenitongxu let out a loud shout, smashed his shoulder with his other fist, and a arm‑sized piece of high‑temperature Titan God Iron fell to the ground.

"Hah! Hah!" Maigenitongxu panted heavily, his whole body weak as he half‑knelt on the ground.

From the fracture point on his shoulder, strands of magma‑like substance grew, and after about a minute a new arm extended.

However, Maigenitongxu at this moment was extremely weak, his face somewhat pallid; Luode could clearly feel that the other's life force had suffered some loss.

He hurriedly mobilized his own life force, supplementing the king with some, allowing the other's body to recover.

That shouldn't be—according to logic, the recovery ability of the Desperation Virus is top‑notch; regrowing an arm does consume some stamina, but it shouldn't leave one this exhausted.

"This limb‑regeneration ability shouldn't consume too much stamina, King Magni—is something wrong?" Luode asked.

"Pretty much! I can indeed produce some Titan God Iron this way, but each time I use the ability, after cutting off the Titan God Iron on my body..."

"it will cause some damage to my life, but if an ordinary limb is torn apart, regenerating it poses no problem." Maigeni said.

The limb‑regeneration ability has now become almost instinctive for him, but the real difficulty lies in the primal power within; the power of Titan God Iron comes from the dwarf race's original earth‑spirit power.

If his body suffers damage during battle, repairing it indeed does not consume much energy.

But if he turns into Titan God Iron and produces it this way, it will consume a large amount of his life energy.

Just now, if it weren't for Luode's help, he could still regenerate, but he'd remain weak for a while.

"So that's how it is, King Magni—are you alright?" Luode said.

It seems the plan to obtain limitless Titan God Iron has fallen through, but doing it two or three times a year is still better than nothing.

"It's fine, you just replenished some of my life force; I've recovered now—if you're willing to help in the future..."

"we can indeed use this method to produce a bit of Titan God Iron, but in a year that would be at most three or four times."

"any more and I couldn't take it, even if you replenished my life energy."

"when the time comes we'll split the produced Titan God Iron evenly, and you'll help me heal with life energy." Maigenitongxu said.

"No problem, life energy and such are easy to talk about." Luode said.

"Alright, now I'll forge you a weapon!" Maigenitongxu said.

Just the right time to test my new ability.
