I wonder if he'd've been willing to do more if she'd mentioned that two of the ones she wants equipment for are 9-sigil lords/former apostles of a fallen god, who have literally zero chance of willingly fighting on the same side as the surface gods?
With the contract now established, she'll get a 40% discount when asking him to forge equipment. The limit was five and in exchange, he was able to use the flames at a higher efficiency.

Wonder what she's going to scam out of him this time... and also how she's going to give him a stable supply of the fuel (her blood) without turning him into a hybrid.
"How about another contract? This time I'll offer you the fuel you need to use these flames." Alice narrowed her gaze.

I just had a thought™: With how important the number 3 is in this series (three surface gods, Heart/Eye(s)/Crown of the Abyss, resonances (both sigil and general), etc.) is it possible that the end goal would be a 3 way ownership of the Abyss, between Alice, Alyss, and The Will? If 3 is stable and 2 is not, I wouldn't be surprised if that's why Velouria was dying due to being the Goddess of the Abyss. Alice and Alyss might do better simply due to being two beings... and may end up being able to wrest majority control away from The Will. Also, if 3 is better here... poly ending maybe? Alice/Alyss, Ria, and Luke throuple?
something like that, yeah
"You said you'd do what?" I asked calmly, stepping closer. "And a Nascent Soul cultivator? That's the extent of your power?"

I think it should be "[...] do WE have gathered?"
Yeah she can already do that.
To create a weapon capable of killing a God!

"Unfortunately, I already have an inheritance. It's sealed for now until I can grow strong enough to handle it"
"What do you think about inheriting my title of Lord?"

Somehow Enris is the last surface god to shit themselves IRL bc of her, despite being the first god she went more or less toe-to-toe with.
At this moment, Selen felt fear.

Why do I feel like the artifact is going to become a third personality for Alice? IDK how you'd name it... Alis is the only other homophone I can come up with besides weird stuff like Alez that one could claim can be pronounced the same, but normally wouldn't be sightread that way.
The artifact is a sentient being. Juvenile and very eager. It tasted the height of Alice's power within the Inverted World and had thought that Alice got injured. It's trying to destroy the 'weakness' so Alice could reclaim that power.

Allura shouldn't even know about the sigil swapping, let alone the "oops I ate your gift" incident
'When did Alice get a hold of my Sigil? I don't believe I fed her my blood.' Allura couldn't help but wonder.
