Guild Wars-Novel

Walked towards Pair Dadeni first this time, planning to upgrade Alchemy first since he had a clearer idea for it. It was time to craft the Divine Potion he had been thinking about for a while.

He had alternate options though. Rather than trying his luck by creating a new formula, he could just improve an old formula he had created in the past and elevate it to the next rank.

Either option was practical really.

Still, his pride made his choose this path, and he had confidence since he had the help of the Divine Rank Pair Dadeni. What the fellow was about to do was slightly crazy, but his current skill level allowed for it.

This was essentially the same thing he did for the Grandmaster Rank up, which was to create the formula while crafting it, completing both at the same time.

It was difficult because the world would put pressure on your while drawing/perfecting the formula and there was the stress of actually crafting. However, the current Draco was too powerful to be bothered by any of that.

As such, he took out many Divine reagents he got from the Tower of Babylon, the Refinement Treasury and his own stick that he replicated in preparation for this.

He could naturally use Common reagents and raise them up to Divine since there was enough energy to both items to do so, but it would disrupt his flow and make things harder.

Working with actual Divine reagents would not exactly make things easier, but the chance of failure would be reduced significantly.

The key ingredients for this formula were the Divine Amniotic Fluid from Rila, The Fruit of the Orchard and the Power Breaker Divine Flower. He supported this with some Legendary and Epic reagents that had similar properties to the end product he envisioned.

Draco took out his Divine Alchemy set and began filtering the materials carefully. His refinement of them was slow and methodical, like a surgeon cutting up a patient's skull to remove a brain tumor.

Despite his arrogance, he didn't want to fail and have to use Pair Dadeni's active skill to restart the entire process which would constitute theoretical failure. The arrogant fellow wanted to succeed on the first try!

With his current skill, processing the reagents were smoothly and he was even surprised to that the result of this was a Perfect quality outcome. He never hoped for anything above Notable or Average quality.

With Perfect, his chances of success were greatly increased!

After this, Draco gathered the materials and wore a solemn expression. It was time to begin the process.

Fire of War!

Inventor Title!

Boom!

Draco's base success rate was 5% at the peak grandmaster Rank and his Divine Technique increased it by 10%. The perfect grade reagents increased it by 5%, which was a 20% total success chance.

1/5 was incredibly great for a Grandmaster going to Divine. Most only had the 5% to work with since their Divine Techniques were not perfected.

However the Fire of War added 35% success rate regardless of Rank and the Inventor Title added another 15% that was regardless of Rank or type.

That was a total of 70% going in, which was definitely extremely good!

The Fire of War was used it to heat the cauldron as he began utilizing his level 9 Refined Star Technique, which allowed him to place the reagents into the cauldron at the perfect timing.

Every time a new one was placed into the brew, it would shake the entire cauldron and cause a reaction, but Draco was able to stabilize it each time with ease using his power which was vast as the sea.

Suddenly, as he went on, the formula was being pressured by the world. It demanded perfection in its formation and the concoction was bubbling dangerously, as it was clearly being tested.

"Impudent!" Draco shouted angrily, using a wave of power to suppress the ethereal intent trying the concoction, and even damaging it severely.

Like a wounded puppy, it squealed and ran away, allowing Draco's creation to be unhindered. Without this pressure, his success rate increased by another 20% at the least.

After placing the items within and stirring for a while using his Refined Star Technique's special methods, it was time for one of the things that cockblocked many Grandmasters of this era.

Infusion of Divine Energy!

Draco took out one top-grade Divine Crystal that Hikari had condensed for him with all her might and crushed it. A mist of creamy white Divine Energy formed around him that instantly made the area more vivid and vibrant, as if it had been bathed in holy water.

Draco channeled the entire mist into the cauldron and used the VoP to carefully observe the effects. He was pleased to see that it had the same effect that Worldly Energy did with brews below Legendary Rank, and Aetheric Energy with Legendary Rank concoctions in terms of stabilizing the brew, increasing success rate, and increasing purity of the resultant potion.

This offered another 10% success rate which meant it was impossible for Draco to fail!

He finished up the final few steps and then condensed a bottle using his Tier 6 VoP that could now control Divine Energy in the atmosphere. Tier 6 easily allowed him to do this, and in truth, he could even have done this at Tier 5.

It was just that without a Source Origin, you couldn't store or process the Divine Energy to make it yours and attach it to your attacks/methods. You could only use it for external stuff like this.

Of course, this was nothing special. Many fellows on the world could move Divine Energy in the atmosphere, as this was the prerequisite for your Divine Technique. This was the 'binding agent' part of it; how you were going to control Divine Energy for your crafting.

Most of everyone used their State of Being, but Draco used Control, which was unique.

Draco also could have used the raw and endless Divine Energy in the air that was free, but a condensed crystal had higher purity and would increase the success rate more, so eh.

The concoction formed and was done. It was a strangely glowing white potion with flecks of starlight in it. He checked its details.

｢Unnamed – Consumable

Rank: Divine (100% effectiveness)

Effect: Permanently increase the talent and State of Being upper limit of any infant of any species, up to a maximum of the Divine grade. They will have no bottlenecks up to that level and will definitely reach True God status.｣

This was what Draco was envisioning. By using Rila's amniotic fluid - something that stored a natural born Origin Goddess - the Fruit of the Orchard - which increased one's talent - and the Power Breaker Divine Flower - which allowed one to break any seal and shackle and exercise their full power - this was the perfect combination to make a talent increasing type potion.

Draco was satisfied and named it the Amniotic Orchard Breaker Potion.

The system notifications came aplenty.

Draco naturally chose to stack it. Anyway with a Divine Technique, he was a half-step God and could craft Divine items anyway, he just didn't have a Divine Source Origin.

After storing his Alchemy upgrade and the new item, he moved over to Mjolnir and the Divine Blacksmithing set. Not even a few hours had passed, so he wanted to get this over and done with as well before moving onto the next stage.

He twirled Mjolnir for a bit, thinking of what to craft. Here, he had less of an idea of what he wanted to do so he just used the passive ability of Mjolnir and threw some Perfect grade Common ingots from the Rank 7 Warehouse onto the anvil and began smashing casually.

Torrents of Divine energy was dragged into the ingot and raised it to the Divine grade equivalent of itself, and Draco still had his various talents and whatnot active.

He just shaped whatever he felt like, and he ended up creating a ring that he split into 12 pieces that were identical. The more he hammered, the more his eyes shimmered as he suddenly knew what he wanted and went on to perfect it.

Eventually, he completed the item and the 12 rings shimmered on the anvil with a moving light. Draco smile and lifted them with his mind, taking them over to the Ultimate Workbench to begin the crafting.

With the Semi-Divine bench and the Semi-Divine Quill, along with endless Divine Energy, even if he wasn't a Divine Enchanter, he could forcibly enchant things of that level using sheer quality.

He tapped his lips before analyzing his thoughts and writing the enchantments he wanted down onto the item. Another fact was that since the item was so strong and was of Divine quality, it could take four whole enchantments, two Passive and two Active.

He then used the Divine Crystals on him to fill them up because, again, while there was plenty free energy, it was just better to use crystals at this current stage.

After the enchantments took hold, Draco was required to implement them. This was easy as pie with his current power, and the usual thing of an apparition didn't appear because it was too terrified of the current Draco to even make a fart.

The item exploded with energy and finally formed, being 12 rings that were connected by a thin line of Divine Energy.

｢Unnamed – Ornamental

Passive 1 – My Family: Anyone in the same registered clan as the main owner are able to always know the location, status and power of each other at all times.

Description: This ring comes with a set, a main ring and 11 subsidiary rings created by a top-tier Grandmaster who is also a half-step God Blacksmith to fill the biggest hole in his heart, his lack of attention for his beloved family.｣

Draco saw this and was satisfied. He named the rings the Morningstar Heart.
