Chapter 73
"Ara, it seems our little one has done something impossible again," Miyako stared into the heaven, noticing KE's own Etheora entering the bodies of many people, even hers and Ryot's.
Ryota smiled enthusiastically, feeling the benefits KE had provided across all of Nippon. "What a brat, I never thought our child could do something impossible again." Ryota was no longer surprised because KE had done many things beyond human comprehension.
This step taken by KE was due to the successful formation of his spiritual weapon finally, with the essence of truth, merging the blood of Gaya and Alaya, even his own, and something else.
This step was insane to Gaya and Alaya at first, they said he should strengthen the weapon with their blood, but KE had a crazy idea.
This crazy idea was to merge his blood with Gaya and Alaya's to transform it into divine gear instead of evolving slowly into a god-level weapon.
But there were many problems, the first of which was time, making him think deeply about a solution to speed up the process.
The reason time was a problem is because the weapon had to merge with KE's body and soul so that no one else could possess this weapon, it would just be a piece of scrap iron, not a god-level weapon.
Gaya hit KE's head, worried he might do something foolish, so she hugged him from behind and pulled him away from the weapon. "You fool, who gave you the freedom to do such a stupid thing? Didn't you understand that the higher the weapon's level, the more its integration is delayed."
KE was smiling, wanting to break free from Gaya's grip, but he couldn't because Gaya and Alaya were adorable, yet he didn't forget they were real goddesses.
"KE, Gaya is right, you were too reckless. Didn't you understand you have your people, you have a family, you have wives, you have us, what do you think would happen if you intended to merge the weapon and it took long years for you to wake up from your slumber?" Alaya was on the side, nodding her head, her eyes filled with anger. She didn't even realize she was talking about her hidden feelings for him while she carefully held the already finished weapon in her hands.
KE closed his eyes, feeling he had done something wrong. He didn't think his rush could harm so much. "I… am sorry, I really didn't mean that. Initially, I intended to merge the weapon and find a way to accelerate the integration period while I analyze it internally." Alaya sighed, not knowing why KE was in such a hurry and why he was never afraid of the unknown.
As Alaya closed her eyes, thinking about all this, she remembered one of the reasons she and Gaya loved KE was because of his fearlessness towards everything, even when he knew there were many enemies at their level standing against them, he never feared. Instead, he said without hesitation that he would help them.
Gaya was waiting for an answer from Alaya to solve this problem quickly because the divine gear was something that could lose control and destroy itself if not merged quickly.
Alaya opened her eyes, which became sharp, she looked at the boy with red hair seriously, biting her lips nervously. "KE, I want to ask you one question… have you never left us?" She was honestly nervous, and Gaya, the innocent, turned red, knowing what Alaya's question implied, but she didn't object.
KE was surprised at Alaya's question, he didn't understand why she would ask something so simple. "Alaya, you and Gaya seem to know my nature, don't you?"
Alaya puffed her cheeks. "KE, just answer, we are asking." KE laughed at Alaya's cuteness but began to think of an answer that suits her and Gaya's taste.
"You are asking if I will ever leave you, right?" Alaya and even Gaya nodded, KE opened his mouth to continue, "Do you think I am the type who would leave his loved ones, Alaya?"
When KE said this, Alaya and Gaya noticed his voice and eyes were filled with tenderness. Then, they remembered KE only wanted power to protect those around him.
His statement was simple, yet it was filled with an unwavering will. When they remembered every battle KE had been through, every sorrow that filled his heart, every moment he fought for those around him.
Even the moment he intended to fight the will of heaven itself, they didn't realize it, but they had fallen in love with him and his manly actions.
There have been many gods who fell in love with humans in the past, but none married or even got close to them because they knew humans were just humans.
They lacked skill, capability, or even talent to deserve being with gods.
Thus, the gods who fell in love with humans erased all feelings of love within them and continued with what they were doing.
But Alaya and Gaya knew that KE reaching their level was only a matter of time, and he would even surpass them.
Alaya sighed, realizing she hadn't paid attention to her feelings and Gaya's.
She reached into her internal space and pulled out a cube filled with colors and mysterious runes.
When Alaya showed it, KE's heart started beating rapidly; his soul was tossing left and right.
There was even a tremendous spiritual pressure pressing on KE, knowing this mysterious cube was a god-level artifact.
Suddenly, the pressure disappeared entirely after he felt Gaya's movement behind him.
He never thought that the terrifying pressure coming from the cube would disappear just because Gaya hugged him.
Alaya smiled at him and made the cube hover in front of them while it shone with golden light as if it was a beating heart. "KE, this is one of the god-level artifacts I have. You could also say it's a temporal world. I can adjust the time so that in the moment you spend breathing outside, days, months, and even years accelerate inside the room, so a whole year passes inside this magical sanctuary while time outside stops at the boundary of a single minute."
KE gasped, thinking of creating a time room like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the Dragon Ball universe, but he never imagined this cube could be so fierce.
Even the idea of a time chamber became dull to KE. Instead of conducting research and testing and wasting resources from scratch, he could start from scratch with this cube and analyze it.
Alaya smiled proudly when she noticed the shock in KE's eyes, grabbed the cube again, and threw it to him. "Take it, KE, I give it to you since you know what Gaya and I want." The cube landed in KE's palm, and he stared at it closely.
"Alaya, I didn't think you had such good things. If you have more, bring them out," Gaya laughed loudly, while Alaya felt she might have unleashed something not so good inside KE.
KE noticed Alaya staring at him with a not-so-simple smile. "Ahem, I don't want them to copy, just to analyze, Alaya, and you too, Gaya. I just want to analyze the god-level artifacts so in the future, I can develop and even craft weapons and armors on my own."
The girls sighed but also knew KE wasn't lying. It was impossible for a human to lie to them without them knowing.
They knew KE was trying to help them even at this moment. Crafting weapons and armor at a god level was something impossible even for gods not skilled in crafting.
The gods who craft such weapons and armors are very rare. They already knew KE had developed the forging technique of the Kotobuki clan to a level where they could craft god-level artifacts.
Now, as long as he spends his time crafting different weapons, armors, and tools with this technique and develops himself, he could craft god-level artifacts, which even Gaya and Alaya understood when KE explained it to them.
Even when he explained to them the method of refining forging to a god level, they didn't understand much. You need to practice it and have extensive experience to be able to craft even low-grade god-level artifacts.
So, KE, who is mortal and not a god, did the impossible again and crafted a god-level artifact of an unknown grade.
The reason the grade is unknown is that the artifacts evolve with KE himself, who has infinite potential, meaning the god-level artifact also has infinite potential.
Alaya broke off her thoughts and smiled at the boy with red hair. "KE, let's enter first." Alaya waved her beautiful, smooth hand, then the cube opened and pulled everyone into it.
Outside, only the cube remained, just a small piece of junk that no one cared about, without knowing it was a god-level artifact.
