People are scared in America, my uncle is Dante

Chapter 181 Weapons and Angels

Backstage at the bar was a spacious, quiet room with walls covered with all sorts of firearms and melee weapons.

The air smelled of tobacco and engine oil.

The two sat down on the sofa in the center of the room.

"Tell me, what kind of magical tool suggestions do you want?"

Rodin leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and lit a large cigar.

Suren frowned when he saw that the other party had skipped the topic of the Armitage family, but still shared his thoughts on weapons over the past few days.

"I want to create a weapon that can freely transform its form."

"Its basic form is a katana."

"But when I transfer magic into it, the blade and scabbard can transform together and combine into a greatsword."

The idea for the weapon's transformation actually came from the twin swords that Nicole had previously made for herself using Yutuen's antlers.

After the magic power is transferred, the two swords can be joined together at the ends to form a powerful magic bow.

Since dual swords can transform and combine, why can't the katana and its scabbard be combined to transform into a greatsword?

After listening to Suren's description, Rodin tilted his head back, exhaled a puff of white mist, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes hidden behind his sunglasses: "A very thoughtful design."

He looked at Suren, "However, you should know that this requires very high standards in terms of forging techniques and material compatibility."

Rodin's tone became serious when the conversation turned to his field of expertise.

"Well then, let me see what materials you've prepared. Without top-quality raw materials to support it, even if this weapon is made, it will only be a waste of your good idea."

Suren didn't hide anything and recounted all the assets he had accumulated so far.

"7

"The Spear of Destiny?"

Upon hearing this, Rodin suddenly sat up, put his feet down, and let out a low, enigmatic laugh. "So this thing ended up in your hands?"

"This thing is an invaluable resource for dealing with angels—"

Suren didn't respond; he knew something about the other party's hatred for angels.

"The damaged magical artifact Alastor?"

Rodin raised an eyebrow. "Young man, it's not an easy thing to ruin an ancient magical artifact that has consciousness."

"Are you using it as a fire poker?"

Suren gave an awkward smile.

"Besides these, there is a crowbar of unknown material, and demon bones forged in hellfire —"

He exhaled a puff of smoke, lost in thought.

"The ingredients are all pretty good."

Rodin gave his assessment.

"The Spear of Destiny is enough to give the weapon extreme destructive power. Combined with the Thunder Sword as the main body and the self-repairing ability of the meteorite, these elements, once combined, will definitely be a powerful weapon."

"but----"

Upon hearing this word, Suren sat up slightly. He knew that things were definitely not that simple.

Rodin then changed the subject: "The core of the weapon you envisioned lies in its seamless transformation of form."

"But the materials you have are all too powerful and extreme in nature."

"They simply don't support this level of physical change and integration. In the meantime, a flexible and compatible material must be added as a harmonizer."

"Otherwise, if you throw all these materials into the furnace, you can only make a weapon in a single form. Even if I forcibly fuse them together, the most likely result is that when you try to change the form in battle, the repulsive force of these materials will shatter the weapon into pieces."

Upon hearing this, Suren nodded slightly.

Nicole had pointed out similar issues when she saw this pile of materials before.

At the time, I didn't have a clear idea about the weapon, so the other party was mostly talking about material compatibility issues.

Rodin, based on his own ideas, has now proposed the need for materials with ductility and compatibility as a harmonizing agent.

"Do you have any ideas on how to solve this problem?"

Thinking of this, Suren asked.

"certainly."

Rodin looked at Suren and gave him a meaningful smile.

"I can provide you with the materials, but only if you personally kill an angel."

Suren was slightly taken aback: "The Angel of Death?"

Rodin snorted coldly, his tone filled with undisguised disgust: "Heaven should be a pure land that protects all things, but now it treats the human world as its private property, using human souls as bargaining chips to gamble with Hell."

"The so-called God is nothing more than a greedy dictator."

"Cough cough————"

Suren coughed twice; he dared not respond carelessly to what the other party had said.

As far as he knew, Rodin was originally an angel who stood at the pinnacle of Heaven, but because his power was too great, he was feared by some people who worried that he would threaten the rule of Heaven, and was thus expelled.

But now, listening to his words, it seems that the reason why this weapons craftsman left Paradise has changed?

But no matter how things change, he still harbors hatred for Heaven.

Rodin stubbed out his cigar and said coldly, "Power should serve freedom, not become a tool for domination and enslavement."

Suren nodded slightly, then asked the question that had been bothering her.

"When angels die, their essence returns to Heaven. How can I prove to you that I killed an angel?"

Rodin seemed to have anticipated this.

"This is a little gadget that I figured out myself."

He pulled open the drawer of the coffee table, took out a small metal disc, no bigger than the palm of his hand, and tossed it to Suren.

"Wear it. When you kill an angel, the angel's dissipated essence will be absorbed by the device and transformed into an angelic halo."

As he spoke, he revealed a cruel smile: "With this thing, even angels will face their true death."

The disc feels slightly cool to the touch and is quite heavy.

Suren looked down at the device in his hand, feeling hesitant.

This is definitely a hot potato; taking it on means being forced into the conflict between these people.

On the human side, he has already offended the Armitage family and an unknown evil sorcery group.

On the other side of Hell, Satan's son Mammon was killed by himself, and the hatred between the two sides had long been irreconcilable.

Do we have to offend another paradise?

Wait a minute—

It seems I've already offended Heaven to death?

Gabriel, who orchestrated Mammon's descent, killed Mammon himself, which led to Satan's entry into the world. Ultimately, his plan was exposed, and he was stripped of his divine authority.

And then there was the low-ranking angel who tried to steal the peaches in Haddonfield, who was imprisoned in Silent Hill.

Suren glanced at Rodin.

Did this old black man sense something, which is why he deliberately made this request, going along with the flow to get himself to deal with the angel?

But since we've already offended them to death, why bother arguing about it?

Having a lot of debt is not a burden.

"make a deal."

Suren agreed.

Rodin nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this: "Very good. When the time comes, you can just come to me with the Angel Halo to exchange for it. If you have any extras, you can also make additional transactions."

The arms deal was agreed upon.

Suren hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "There's another matter, concerning the Armitage family."

Rodin put down his wine glass, his smile fading slightly.

"This family is not worth mentioning, but the masters behind them are not simple."

At this point, he seemed somewhat disheartened: "As a businessman, I only care about our transactions; I have no interest in your personal grudges."

"However, if you really want to dig deeper into the details behind this, I can give you a piece of information for free."
