Chapter 954 – God’s Wrath
954 – God’s Wrath
TL: GoldenLung
Meng Fei chuckled, “Don’t give me that. When you were in your teens, you dared to throw antimatter missiles over at the planet of sin. There’s nothing you’re afraid of. I just want to remind you that you shouldn’t use forbidden weapons unless your life is in danger. The impact is too great.”
“Yes, of course.”
Meng Fei said, “Also, don’t mention anything about the forbidden weapons to anyone, not even your closest companion. You cannot let them know such a thing exists.”
“Okay.”
As they spoke, Meng Fei had already brought Lan Xuanyu to the metallic platform with a yellow light ball.
“We call this forbidden weapon the God’s Wrath. If I remember correctly, you’re also a blacksmith, right? What level of forging have you reached now?” Meng Fei suddenly asked.
Lan Xuanyu said, “I can barely do Soul Forging now. I can be considered a Level 7 Blacksmith.”
Hearing this, Meng Fei and Tang Miao couldn’t help but look surprised. A Level 7 Blacksmith?
Lan Xuanyu was only eighteen years old! An 18-year-old Level 7 Blacksmith was almost a rarity, and was undoubtedly a genius in the blacksmithing world.
Tang Miao asked, “Who taught you forging?”
Lan Xuanyu blinked and said, “Uncle Le.”
Tang Miao and Meng Fei both looked enlightened, and Meng Fei couldn’t help but exclaim, “Being born into a family of artisans is an art itself! No wonder. Senior Tang was the foremost Blacksmith in the entire federation back then, the strongest god-rank Blacksmith. He taught you, no wonder you were able to advance so quickly. With the heavy workload of Shrek Academy’s studies, it’s not easy to reach the level of Soul Forging.”
“You are a blacksmith and should understand that in the field of forging, you can refine rare metals and melt them to achieve metals that underwent hundred, thousand, spirit, soul, and even the highest level of god forging. Metals at the level of god forging have already transcended the category of metals and can even be described as heavenly treasures. They are truly beings endowed with souls and life and possess powerful abilities. They are also necessary for the production of Four-Word Battle Armor. Only the Four-Word Battle Armor made of god-rank metals, tempered continuously by god-rank experts, has the possibility of continuous evolution. It takes at least four types of rare metals melted together to evolve into a Five-Word Battle Armor, and six or more to have a chance of evolving into a Six-Word Battle Armor. In fact, only seven sets of human Six-Word Battle Armor have ever appeared in history.”
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help feeling excited. Although he had already reached the level of Soul Forging, he had never learned anything about the knowledge of Five-Word and Six-Word Battle Armor. He only knew that before the evolution of their mother planet, the highest level of human Battle Armor armor was only Four-Word Battle Armor. It was only after that the concepts of Five-Word and Six-Word Battle Armor emerged.
No wonder Uncle Le was teaching him the method of Fusion Forging and making sure that he could successfully complete it before continuing Soul Forging. It turned out that the role of Fusion Forging was so significant.
Meng Fei pointed to the God’s Wrath in front of him and said, “Modern energy has made rapid progress because we, the Tang Sect, invented the Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit. It can hold a huge amount of energy in a small volume, which became the power source for battleships and allowed us to explore the stars. The God’s Wrath in front of you is also a Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit, but what makes it special is that it is made from a whole piece of god-rank metal. It is a divine source core.”
“You should have known that the biological warships have very demanding requirements for energy, requiring at least rare metals that have undergone spirit forging to become its energy source. They can then be internally converted and transformed into a Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit. Soul-forged metals are naturally better, while god-rank metals can not be converted into a Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit through a reaction furnace, thus becoming a direct source of energy. At least, the Federation does not have this technology. Only our Tang Sect could produce it through some special means. During the process of manufacturing a god-rank source core, we discovered that when god-rank metals are refined into the Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit, the energy contained within them is indeed huge. But there is so much that it couldn’t become a stable and continuous output. Once disrupted, an immediate explosion would occur. They were simply unusable as an energy source.”
“Just to figure out this reason, we spent more than 1,300 years. During that period, hundreds of researchers died in the explosion of divine-level metal. They were all the best talents of our Tang Sect, but also a group of lunatics in our Tang Sect. But it was precisely these crazy scientists who ultimately developed the forbidden weapon.”
“We discovered that the reason why god-rank metals could not be used as energy sources was mainly due to their sublimation. When god-rank metals are forged to the very end, the blacksmith will undergo a baptism of heavenly punishment, which you do not know yet because you haven’t reached that level yet. Usually, a god-rank blacksmith can only forge for a few years because every time they undergo a heavenly punishment, they will suffer irreversible damage. Only someone with the physical strength of Senior Tang can truly continue to forge god-rank metals. Only he, as a god-rank blacksmith, could also become a god-rank powerhouse. Both us and the federal government have conducted various experiments, such as having god-rank powerhouses learn forging or cultivating genius forges into god-rank powerhouses.”
“There was not a single success. Even the most ordinary practice of forging, such as forging with a thousand hammers, was beyond the ability of a god-rank expert in forging. And among the genius forgers, none could become a god-rank expert after reaching the level of god-rank forging. This was because when they reached god-rank forging, they would suffer some damage from the thunder tribulation, not just to their bodies, but even their spiritual consciousness. Moreover, if they spent more time cultivating during the soul-forging stage, they might eventually become god-rank experts, but they would not be able to break through to the level of a god-rank Blacksmith. In short, the prerequisite for a soul master to become a god-rank Blacksmith is that they cannot become a god-rank expert, because a god-rank expert cannot attract thunder tribulation, or, if they do attract thunder tribulation, it would be aimed at themselves, rather than the metal they are forging.”
Lan Xuanyu understood somewhat. A god-rank Blacksmith needed to reach that level before becoming a god, but after becoming a god, they would suffer from thunder tribulation and be unable to evolve further. This was a question he would have to ask Uncle Le later, why it was like this.
Meng Fei continued, “So, as the development of divine-level metals progressed, their only use was to manufacture Battle Armor or the most advanced mechs. They can’t become energy sources. The highest-end energy source in the Federation is a Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit made of soul-forged metal.”
“The divine-level core we Tang Sect manufactured became a unique item and also an internal secret. Our predecessor scientists studied what use this kind of core had. The energy contained within it is even a thousand times greater than that of soul-forged metal! It’s such a waste not to use it.”
After undergoing the baptism of thunder tribulation, the metal is sublimed, just like when us soul masters ascend to godhood. After the transformation, the metal itself has already transformed into a living being and an energy body. The source core was equivalent to merging all of this together, even to the extent of sacrificing the life of a divine metal. What was contained inside became violent. In other words, a divine source core had emotions. Therefore, it was completely uncontrollable and could not be used as an energy source. Therefore, after continuous research and development, we discovered that although a divine source core can not be used as an energy source, it can be used as a weapon. However, divine metal is too difficult to forge and has its own life. Using it to create weapons is contrary to the natural course of life. Therefore, after completing the research back then, the Tang Sect ancestors discussed and decided to seal this technology and no longer produce any God’s Wrath. Therefore, the 36 God’s Wraths you see now are already out of production, and using one means there is one less. This is the technological crystallization of 7,600 years of blood and sweat.
