Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 805 The Damaged Artifact: Storm Axe!
Inside the blacksmith's shop, a legendary blacksmith and two blacksmith apprentices were stunned for a moment after hearing the name.

"The Ridge of an Avalanche..."

They repeated the name in hushed tones, seemingly pondering its meaning.

A moment later, Harold seemed to realize something, and his eyes lit up instantly: "I understand!"

"The lord chose this name to symbolize that the power of this weapon is like a snowstorm collapsing from a mountaintop, unstoppable and devastating!"

"What a great name!"

The two apprentices beside him understood the meaning of the name after hearing their master's explanation.

Their gazes toward the lord were filled with admiration and worship.

At the same time, the unicorn in Cao Xing's hand burst forth with intense cold air, and frost patterns flowed and shimmered on its surface, as if it were also very satisfied with the name.

A system prompt appears.

[Naming successful! This weapon has been officially renamed: Avalanche Spine (Legendary)]

[Because you are the first survivor in the entire server to forge a legendary weapon, you have received the following reward: Broken Storm Axe (Unknown), Reputation +10000]

[Should we make a server-wide announcement?]

...

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback. "Wow, there's a reward for this?"

"The Broken Storm Axe... Why does that name sound so familiar?"

Looking at the remains of the battle axe in his backpack, which exuded the aura of a storm, he decided to check its specific attributes later.

Now, let's deal with the system message first.

[Should we make a server-wide announcement?]

Cao Xing clicked 'OK' directly.

The next moment, a golden system notification appeared in front of all the survivors.

[Server-wide Announcement (Gold): Attention survivors! Cao Xing, a survivor lord from one of the four regions, has successfully forged the first legendary weapon, writing a new chapter in the history of forging on the continent!]
Let us congratulate the birth of this legendary weapon!

...

When the notification ended, the nearly 20 billion survivors remaining on the server were still preparing for the upcoming server merge.

They were all stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

A moment later, all the survivors erupted in jubilation!

Chat channels in all regions of the world, including the world channel, were in an uproar!

Eucliwood: "A legendary weapon, and one forged by Cao Xing at that?! How is that possible?!"

Angelboda: "Isn't that outrageous? I've been developing for so long, and all my wealth in my territory only amounts to an epic-quality weapon and a few pieces of gold equipment, while he's already able to forge legendary equipment!"

Fujikawa Shohiro: "Lord Cao Xing's resources are indeed beyond imagination. My territory's blacksmiths can only forge purple equipment at present, and the success rate is outrageously low..."

Dou Zhishan: "As expected of the number one player in the entire server, his territory's strength far surpasses ours..."

...

Survivors around the world were shocked by Cao Xing's announcement that he had created a legendary weapon.

After all, this was truly beyond their expectations.

Having lived in this world for so long, these survivors of Earth know the importance of legendary equipment.

Here, every legendary weapon is unique and possesses immense power.

Even among those legendary powerhouses, only a very small number of them possess an exclusive legendary weapon.

The blacksmith who crafted this equipment will be remembered forever as the weapon's fame spreads.

In an instant, everyone was filled with intense curiosity about this legendary weapon, wanting to know just how powerful this level of equipment really was.

They were frantically tagging Cao Xing in the chat channels, and some even posted on the forum, offering a large sum of money to Cao Xing to help them get a legendary piece of equipment...

Some people said they had a broken legendary weapon and hoped Cao Xing could help them repair it.

Discussions about this legendary weapon are everywhere.

...

...

At this moment, Cao Xing was also watching the grand occasion on the world channel and nodded in satisfaction.

The reason he chose to make a formal announcement was...

The biggest reason, of course, is to show off.

He's not the kind of person who pretends to be low-key; he does whatever he wants.

What is the purpose of life if not to live it to the fullest?

So what if others say he's flamboyant and arrogant?

When he was weak, he was cautious and always careful.

If he remains like this even after becoming powerful, then wasn't his power wasted?
Furthermore, with his current strength, he doesn't need to hide anything at all.

Even if other survivors coveted his legendary weapon, they posed no threat whatsoever.

The second reason, of course, is the upcoming server merge.

When that happens, the clash of various forces will surely create an extremely chaotic scene.

He took this opportunity to build momentum in advance and make some preparations for the subsequent merger of districts.

After observing the chaotic world chat channel, Cao Xing closed the chat channel.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't wait to check the attributes of this brand-new legendary weapon.

(Equipment Description: The roar of glaciers, the howl of avalanches. Powerful materials combined with the power of the Holy Hammer have forged this unique and powerful weapon—Legendary Blacksmith: Harold Iceberg)

...

...

After reading the weapon's lengthy attribute description, Cao Xing could no longer hide his joy.

Leaving aside the other powerful basic attributes, the eight weapon effects alone surpass any piece of equipment or weapon that Cao Xing had obtained before!
It can be said that if someone were to wield this weapon, almost every strike would trigger three or four weapon effects, significantly increasing their attack power and kill range by a whole level!
Cao Xing exclaimed in amazement, "What's even more amazing is its enhanced legendary special effects."

"It can actually stack up to 500% of strength and attack power!"

"In other words, once the same target is attacked a hundred times, every subsequent attack will be more destructive than you can imagine."

"This is a true killing weapon!"

Harold, the dwarf blacksmith standing before him, could also sense the immense destructive power contained within this weapon.

A smile involuntarily appeared on his rugged face: "This is the most powerful weapon I have ever created."

"I have a feeling that it will become famous throughout the entire continent in the hands of the warriors of our territory!"

Cao Xing nodded. "You're right, Harold."

"This weapon will unleash its true power and become the enemy's nightmare!"

Then, he put the [Avalanche Spine] into his backpack.

Then he took out a giant axe covered in cracks, which emitted a faint aura of wind.

Moreover, this giant axe only has the blade; the handle has broken off and disappeared.

The axe blade was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, as if it might shatter at any moment.

The dwarf blacksmith's pupils contracted sharply the moment he saw the axe!
He reached out with a mixture of surprise and doubt, wanting to touch it, but then, unsure, he withdrew his hand.

Cao Xing asked, "Harold, doesn't this axe seem familiar to you?"

The dwarf blacksmith's beard trembled violently as he said in a shaking voice, "It does feel very familiar..."

"My lord... what is this?"

“Just as you expected, this is the Stormbreaker,” Cao Xing said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this name, Harold was struck dumb!

"Wind... Storm Axe?"

"How is this possible?!" His pupils widened, and he almost exclaimed, "The Storm Axe is the treasure of our dwarf race. It is said to be one of the three great divine artifacts of the entire Southern Continent. How could it be here?!"

"And...and it's turned into this miserable state!"

Cao Xing shook his head: "I don't know how it got like this, but I'm sure it's the remains of the Stormbreaker."

"However, there is no longer any divine fluctuation on it."

Harold was deep in thought. His absolute loyalty to Cao Xing made him know that the lord would not lie about such matters.

In other words, this broken axe in front of us is indeed a sacred object of the dwarves, one of the three great artifacts of the Southern Continent.

After a moment, he seemed to remember something and said in a deep voice, "When I was young, I often went into the library to read the ancient books of my clan."

"I once read a secret in an old book..."

"Ten thousand years ago, in that ancient era, the first Dwarf King wielded the Stormbreaker and participated in a war."

"It is said that... that battle swept across four continents and involved most of the powerful beings, including the Elf King and the Giant King, who were all drawn into it..."

"That battle lasted a long time, and no one knows the outcome, who won or who lost."

All that is known is that after that battle, all the powerful figures from the four continents were severely weakened.

"Even the first Dwarf King was seriously injured in that battle, and Stormbreaker was likely used at that time..."

At this point, Harold paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "That guess is also incorrect..."

"After all, thousands of years ago, the fourth generation of the Dwarf King wielded the Stormbreaker and forcefully slew that alien creature..."

"The timing doesn't match..."

He seemed lost in a huge mystery, constantly scratching at his messy beard.

The two blacksmith apprentices standing to the side looked at their master with worried expressions.

It seemed to be the first time I had ever seen my master look so bewildered.

Cao Xing didn't disturb him, after all, this matter was indeed somewhat beyond his imagination, and he needed some time to accept it and sort out his thoughts.

However... although Harold's guess was somewhat vague and illogical.

But Cao Xing also gleaned another layer of meaning from the other party's few words.

That is, the Storm Axe is not a legendary weapon, nor a semi-divine artifact, but a true divine artifact!
So far, he hasn't even obtained a complete semi-divine artifact, let alone a true divine artifact!

This made his heart race, and when he looked at the cracked giant axe in his hand, a burning light flashed in his eyes!

Just then, Harold, who was deep in thought, seemed to realize something.

He suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "That secret record must be true!"

"The first Dwarf King was indeed severely wounded in that battle, which is why he suddenly passed away within five short years..."

"In other words, the Stormbreaker was destroyed in that battle as well."

"However, later dwarf kings, in order to appease their people and deter other forces..."

"And a replica was made, one-to-one, based on the appearance of the Stormbreaker..."

Thinking about this, a look of understanding gradually appeared in Harold's eyes.

"So that's how it is... No wonder the later Stormbreaker didn't have the earth-shattering power described in the records..."

"In all the battles recorded, the dwarf king relied on his own strength to slay powerful enemies..."

The dwarf blacksmith muttered to himself, his gaze involuntarily falling on the massive, cracked axe.

Cao Xing was somewhat surprised after hearing his speculation.

"So, does that mean the one I have in my hand is most likely the real Stormbreaker?"

Harold nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, my lord."

"However, it has broken and its divinity has completely vanished, rendering it powerless."

"What a pity for such a powerful artifact... At its peak, it was said that a single full-force strike could even cleave half a continent in two!"

The dwarf blacksmith's face was filled with regret.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is there a way to repair it?"

Harold remained silent, seemingly searching his mind for relevant memories.

He frowned and said slowly, "Repairing artifacts... this method is not recorded in the books of the dwarves."

"However, in the process of breaking through the bottleneck to become a legendary blacksmith, I received a large amount of forging memories."

"Among them is a vague memory that records some related methods..."

Cao Xing, who had almost given up hope, suddenly brightened up again: "Oh? There really is a way to fix it?"

"tell me the story."

Harold took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Legend has it that true artifacts contain an immortal spirituality."

"Like those gods, even if the physical form is broken, as long as the core 'divine spirit' remains, there is a possibility of repair."

Cao Xing's gaze fell on the battle axe in his hand: "Then this weapon..."

The dwarf blacksmith didn't speak, but stepped forward.

Then he placed his rough palms on the axe, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed it.

A moment later, he raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

“My lord, there is still a trace of 'divine spirit' remaining on this Storm Axe, though it is very weak and has even fallen into slumber.”

"But I can indeed sense a faint fluctuation within it."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's face lit up with surprise once again!

Before he could ask further, Harold shook his head regretfully and said:

"However... to repair a damaged divine artifact, having 'divine spirit' is not enough. Various extremely demanding conditions must be met in order to have any hope of restoring its divine power."

"Its difficulty is second only to recreating a divine artifact..."

Cao Xing was somewhat prepared for the difficulty of this matter.

He asked, "What do you need?"

Harold hesitated for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "There are many conditions required."

"First and foremost, the most important thing."

"We need... divine blood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap suddenly resounded from nowhere in the gray sky!
"Boom——!!"

A thick bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck down fiercely towards the territory!

The lightning struck at an extreme speed, so fast that even a legendary-level expert couldn't react in time!
A sense of danger arose in the hearts of all the powerful individuals!
A series of powerful auras erupted.

The crowd seemed ready to rush out and block the lightning!

However, upon contact with the 'Static Magic Shield', the lightning was immediately neutralized, transforming into tiny lightning snakes that disappeared into the sky.

The durability of the 'Magic Shield' dropped by a whopping 50 million!
The powerful figures throughout the entire territory have been alerted.

They gripped their weapons, stepped out of their rooms, and stared solemnly at the sky.

Inside the blacksmith shop, the two blacksmith apprentices were so frightened that their faces turned ashen!

They stared at Cao Xing and Harold in terror, their voices trembling as they said, "Lord... Lord..."

"Was that the wrath of the gods just now?"

Cao Xing didn't speak, but instead raised his head and stared solemnly at the sky.

Their gaze seemed to pierce through the blacksmith's shop ceiling and reach the sky beyond the territory.

A moment later, the seriousness on his face dissipated, replaced by a smile.

"Heh... Since you can't manifest in the real world right now, what's wrong with me having a discussion?"

Then, Cao Xing looked at the blacksmith and said, "Harold, continue."

A hint of hesitation appeared on the dwarf blacksmith's face.

Clearly, the thunderclap had startled him quite a bit.

However, the thought of the lord's power gradually suppressed this fear.

Harold took a deep breath and said, "To awaken the 'divine spirit' remaining in the weapon, it needs to be nourished with the blood of a god."

He paused for a moment, then looked up at the sky.

Two other blacksmith apprentices also waited nervously.

This time, nothing unusual happened.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Harold composed himself and became bolder, continuing, "In addition, we also need a divine bone."

"By combining various rare materials such as 'Solar Essence Gold,' 'Earth God Stone,' and 'Elemental Core,' its damaged form will be reforged..."

"Only in this way is there a sliver of possibility of repair..."
