Chapter 213

Herios could feel that the small sun-like sphere in the sky contained energy that seemed very beneficial to him.

The scorching energy inside was violently intense, even more so than the sun above, but it was precisely this violent stellar energy that he desired.

"Master! That, that enormous fireball's energy, can I absorb some of it?" Herios looked at Luode with an expectant face.

Luode, upon hearing this, had a bit of experience. Please, that is not ordinary stellar energy. It is neutron star energy, far more violent than that of red giants, blue giants, or yellow dwarfs.

You are what I created using dragon fire and fel fire, later upgraded and having absorbed some phoenix rebirth fire.

But for you to absorb neutron star energy would be somewhat absurd, as it is not flame energy, although its temperature is higher than that of flames.

"Special lifeform, can you absorb it?" said the Dwarf King.

That is neutron star energy!

"Are you sure? But it's a neutron star!"

"It should be possible; even if I fail, I can still be reborn, Master, please let me try!" Herios looked at Luode with a pleading expression.

"Please, Master! You haven't forgotten, have you? I have absorbed phoenix fire and possess some rebirth ability; I can undergo nirvana rebirth like a phoenix."

"Respected Dwarf King, can my pet absorb some of your neutron star energy?" At least I need the master's consent first!

"Yes, I don't mind letting him try; neutron star energy can be said to be inexhaustible and endless."

The energy contained within a single neutron star could even allow the entire dwarf race to use it until the end of time, and if it were exhausted, capturing another neutron star would suffice.

Our dwarf race possesses the technology to capture neutron stars, just like the Asgardians.

"Thank you very much, Herios, you may absorb it, but be careful—if you cannot absorb it, retreat immediately, for this is the most violent energy in the universe." Luode did not forget to remind his Homiz creation.

Herios nodded to Luode, then a hint of excitement appeared on the fire-formed outpost, and he slowly began approaching the neutron star in the sky, drawing the violent energy into his body.

But after absorbing only a trace, Luode felt his Homiz creation, Herios, tremble violently, then swiftly retreat.

"Truly terrifying to the extreme flame power!"

Just a trace of neutron star energy made him feel his body would be torn apart; this extremely violent energy was beneficial to him, but his current strength seemed unable to absorb it. "Don't lose heart! You can already get this close to a neutron star—that's quite impressive." said the Dwarf King.

The temperature of a neutron star can melt king's weapons; wanting to absorb its power is not that simple.

"Sorry! Master, I am still too weak; I feel these extremely violent energies are very beneficial to me.

But to absorb them, I still need to become stronger; my current self cannot absorb them." Herios said with a dejected expression.

Encountering an energy that could greatly boost his combat power, yet he could not absorb it, even possessing phoenix rebirth fire was useless.

This left him feeling somewhat unsettled inside.

"Herios, come here; try this flame—see if you can absorb it?"

Luode pondered for a moment, then handed Herios one of the rewards he had taken from Odin—a wisp of eternal fire.

This special flame, even if an ordinary person held it in their hand, would cause no harm, yet it possesses magical abilities, even capable of resurrecting the dead.

"This is the flame of eternal fire, a kind of magical flame, from the fire giant Surtur.

Long ago, Odin defeated him, separating him from the eternal fire." The Dwarf King introduced the origin of eternal fire beside them.

The fire giant Surtur back then was immensely powerful, even capable of cleaving an asteroid with a single sword, yet even so, he was still defeated by Odin.

He and the eternal fire were also separated by Odin.

"Master, this flame, this flame seems to have some effect on me." Herios's eyes gleamed with a hint of excitement.

Compared to the violent neutron star energy just now, this eternal fire seems as if it could bring about a qualitative change for me.

"Absorb it! See what changes you will undergo." Luode said.

This wisp of eternal fire's flame, Luode had requested from Odin, was originally prepared for his Homiz creation.

"You can go to that fire furnace; our dwarf technology can purify the violent energy of neutron stars into flame energy for forging weapons.

Although this flame is not as energetic as neutron star itself, it is gentler, and you should also be able to absorb it." The Dwarf King pointed to the nearby giant furnace and spoke.

You cannot absorb neutron star energy, but after our purification, the flame energy is no longer so violent; you should be able to absorb it perfectly.

"Then I won't be polite!" Herios nodded to Luode and the Dwarf King, swallowed the eternal fire flame in one gulp, and swiftly dove into the dwarf race's forging furnace.

Instantly, Luode's dragon fire, fel flames, phoenix immortal fire, neutron star fire, and eternal fire—several powers merged together and began burning in the great furnace.

"Hahaha! Fortunately, the high temperature it produces can also be used to forge weapons, and these several flames are all very special."

The Dwarf King quickly brought out a large container and placed it upon Herios's evolving fire, then threw in Luode's weapon and a portion of uru metal.

In just a few minutes, the uru metal and Luode's weapon melted directly, along with some impurities inside.

Previously, Magneto's copper beard had given Luode some adamantium ingots, original ingots, mithril ingots, and evil iron ingots, which were directly burned to ashes.

The new weapon does not need these mortal metals; it only needs titan god metal and the Asgardians' uru metal to suffice.

"Hahaha! Does your weapon have more of this special metal? Adding some more would allow perfect fusion with uru metal."

The only thing in this weapon that could earn the Dwarf King's approval is titan god metal.

This steel imbued with titan god power still needs purification; its original form should not be like this.

"This is called titan god metal, with low yield, so sorry, I don't have any extra." Luode shook his head and said.

If I had extra titan god metal, I would have long ago incorporated it into my weapon, and wouldn't bother mixing in a bunch of miscellaneous metals.

"That's really a pity; I still wanted to ask you for some of this special metal—is its name titan god metal?" said the Dwarf King with a regretful expression.

This special steel, after purification, should not be much inferior to uru metal; using it together with uru metal to forge artifacts would make their power even stronger. "Titan god metal is the embodiment of order's power; ordinary steel or ore, as long as the titans imbue it with godpower, can become titan god metal.

The better the quality of the ore or steel used, the stronger the titan god metal; yours is merely ordinary ore transmuted.

Though it sounds precious, for the titans, it's actually not that precious." Sargeras came to Luode's side and said.

Even if his true form were willing, he could completely use his own energy to manifest a divine sword that mortals could not comprehend, and it would be fully tangible.

This is the titans' power; this titan god metal, their race can mass-produce it, and even use it to craft various creations.

To ordinary races, this is very precious, but to titans, they can make it with a flick of the wrist.

"Boss Sargeras, can you provide some?" Luode's eyes lit up as he looked toward Sargeras.

Please! Here we have a living titan, albeit only a clone, but you do possess order's power! "Although merely a clone, my order's power remains; bring me some of the finest steel."

As long as I infuse it with the power of order, I can turn it into Titan God Metal. Sargeras said.

Without the Infinity Stones, he still cannot provide too much of the power of order.

But the endless energy of the Infinity Stones, combined with the transformation of his own soul fragment, his power of order is now also quite substantial.

Then that's even better—I can also add this Titan God Metal into the weapons of the two of you.

What are you few still dawdling about? Go fetch some white dwarf star material ore. The Dwarf King immediately shouted at his subordinates.

White dwarf star metal is a special metal extracted from white dwarf star material using their clan's special technique and forged.

In terms of hardness, it rivals Uru metal, though its magical conductivity is completely inferior to Uru metal.

Soon a large group of dwarves brought some of this special metal extracted from white dwarf star material and placed it before the few people.

This is the best metal their dwarf clan has, aside from Uru metal.

Sargeras immediately stepped forward and began infusing his power of order into these silvery-white metals.

A large group of dwarves stood nearby, excitedly watching.

It's amazing! His power is completely altering the metal's texture, making it better and also more conductive of energy.

This special metal! It's also excellent material for forging divine artifacts.

I really want some to try forging with. A large group of dwarves chattered excitedly.

As the power of order was infused, the originally silvery-white metal emitted a faint blue glow, and the arcane energy of order began to flow within the steel.

The white dwarf star metal completely transformed, becoming top-tier Titan God Metal, and because it is white dwarf star material, it is far stronger than ordinary Titan God Metal.

This should be called Super Titan God Metal.

After all, white dwarf star material is not ordinary ore from any planet. (In the comics, Thor's hammer core is made from a compressed white dwarf star, so these dwarves and the people of Asgard have the ability to extract white dwarf star material.) It's stronger than ordinary Titan God Metal—take it and use it! Sargeras said.

Very good! Very good!

The Dwarf King excitedly took a piece, the Titan God Metal that Sargeras had just finished smelting.

Then he placed it into the forge and began forging it together with Luode's weapon. The other dwarves also took out two pieces, respectively adding them to Sargeras's and Azeroth's weapons.

Luode's weapon began to take shape, and the Dwarf King started the final hammering work.

Come here, young god—infuse your divine power into the weapon, so it becomes your divine artifact. The Dwarf King said.

This is the key step in divine artifact forging: infusing the owner's power so it connects with the owner.

I don't have divine power like that, but I possess life energy and fel energy. Luode infused these two powers into the weapon. The verdant life force and the dark green fel energy began to merge within the same weapon.

Soon Luode's wolf-tooth club was shaped, and Luode could feel that the weapon now seemed connected to him, allowing him to control it at will.

Hades, come over! Luode waved and called his servant Hades.

He reinstalled Azshara's skull artifact onto his new weapon.

After the two were combined, they perfectly merged, and Hades regained control of his lower body.

Master! My power has grown stronger—now I can even cast some life spells and amplify your spells. Hades reported to Luode with a delighted expression.

Now his physical constitution has become stronger.

Hmm! Luode nodded in satisfaction.

On the other side, Sargeras and Azeroth's weapon forging was completed.

A great sword emitting blue light, with crimson flames burning along the blade, was held in Sargeras's hand.

At the other end of the blade, some green energy burned, and fel energy and the power of order seemed to have perfectly merged.

Azeroth's bow, on the other hand, was simpler—it only had verdant life energy attached to it.

The three's divine artifacts were forged, besides using some Uru metal provided by the Asgardians.

They also added Titan God Metal, and specifically, the Super Titan God Metal transformed from white dwarf star material by Sargeras himself.

Alright, everyone—your divine artifact forging is complete. The Dwarf King said, wiping sweat from his forehead.

Thank you very much, Dwarf King—we are very satisfied with our divine artifacts.

Haha, as long as you like it, being able to forge powerful weapons is also our clan's wish. The Dwarf King said.

Dwarf King, perhaps we can make a deal—I want more of this white dwarf star material. Sargeras said, looking at the Dwarf King.

This special white dwarf star metal, Sargeras thought of a new use for it.
