Time slipped by quietly in the waiting, and before long, the day of the expedition foretold by Urano was approaching.
Lind did not waste these days. He declined most of the social events arranged by Zahira, only appearing when necessary and maintaining basic courtesy.
Most of the time, he stayed in the heavily guarded quiet room prepared for him by the fox clan.
The "ancestral blood core" hovered in front of him, slowly rotating and emitting a faint glow of bloodline.
Linde’s “Deconstructing the Halo” continuously analyzes it at its deepest level.
He did not intend to destroy or tamper with it, but rather to thoroughly understand its workings and ensure that, at crucial moments, this "lighthouse" from God would not become a signpost pointing to a trap.
Meanwhile, he devoted more of his energy to preparing his trump card for this truly significant "battle of the gods".
As he stated, the previous use of crystal bombs mixed with trace amounts of god-slaying metal to severely injure the Fusion God was merely a stopgap measure taken in desperation. It utilized the natural restraint of god-slaying metal on divine beings and the suddenness of the explosion. While its power was considerable, it was too crude, inefficient, and fraught with uncertainty.
Today, the situation is completely different.
He brought back the largest and most crucial fragment of the God-Slaying Spear from the place of the Holy Fall. Combined with the scattered fragments collected from other holy symbols and battlefields, the total amount of God-Slaying metal in his possession, while not enough to reforge the complete spear, was sufficient to forge a truly meaningful weapon designed specifically for slaying gods.
In the center of the quiet room, Linde sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. He did not use a furnace or anvil; the forging process was entirely carried out under the precise control of his powerful mental strength and the [Deconstruction Aura].
In the void before him, the dark, blackish-gray metal fragments floated, as if being scorched by invisible flames, slowly softening and melting, eventually coalescing into a mass of constantly writhing liquid metal exuding a cold, deathly aura.
This was no ordinary melting. Lin De was using the power of [Deconstructing the Halo] to delve into the most microscopic level of this mass of god-slaying metal, guiding the ultimate "negation" and "termination" characteristics of "divinity" formed by the clash of the blood and will of the twin gods of light and darkness, to be strengthened and arranged to the extreme according to his pre-set blueprint.
This process was extremely dangerous. God-killing metal itself was hostile to all "existence," let alone an existence like Lind who possessed a powerful source of light and darkness.
Even the slightest mishandling could trigger a backlash from the characteristics, leading to forging failure or even injury.
But Linde's will was like the hardest crystal, precise and stable.
He carefully peeled away the impurities and unstable structures left in the metal due to the passage of time and breakage, like a top craftsman carving a priceless gem.
Gradually, the clump of liquid metal began to stretch and take shape.
Finally, a spear about two meters long, with a deep dark gray color throughout, as if it could absorb all light, gradually solidified and took shape.
Its design is ancient yet deadly. The spearhead is not completely smooth, but covered with naturally formed dark patterns that resemble shattered stars. These patterns are not decorations, but natural channels for energy transmission and law enhancement.
The spearhead is not extremely sharp; instead, it carries a dull, heavy feeling, as if it could "crush" concepts. However, the extreme darkness at its tip makes the soul that gazes upon it tremble.
This is not over yet.
Linde opened his eyes. In his left eye, a galaxy of light shone brightly, while in the depths of his right eye, a deathly stillness settled.
He raised his hands, his left hand guiding a wisp of pure light energy containing the essence of "existence" and "order"; his right hand channeling a cold, void Shadow Abyss Law representing "end" and "negation".
These two extremely opposing forces, under his absolute control, flowed like two docile fish into the patterns on the dark spear shaft.
Where the power of the light veins flowed, the dark patterns glowed slightly, as if they were infused with vitality and an order of "certain hit"; where the laws of the Shadow Abyss eroded, the patterns became even deeper, strengthening their characteristics of "annihilation" and "end".
The forces of light and darkness did not clash within the spear, but rather intertwined and balanced in a strange and illogical way, ultimately imprinting themselves on the essence of the god-slaying metal, thus exponentially increasing its destructive power against divinity!
This is no longer a simple physical throwing weapon, but a law-concept weapon that combines the properties of "Godslayer Metal", the guidance of "Light Vein Order" and the enhancement of "Shadow Abyss End"!
As the last bit of energy was injected, the entire javelin emitted a deep, melodious hum, as if from an ancient battlefield. Then all the strange phenomena subsided, becoming simple and unadorned. Only when held in one's hand could one feel the terrifying weight and coldness contained within, enough to bring down even gods.
Linde reached out and grasped the spear shaft, a feeling of blood connection and perfect harmony welling up within him. He named it:
[The end of Nirvana].
A truly god-slaying spear.
He put away his spear, his gaze seemingly piercing through the walls of the quiet room, looking towards the direction of the Kingdom of Urano.
Preparations are complete; it's time to meet the so-called "God of Fusion."
Almost the instant he completed the forging, a grand will descended upon the royal court, and Urano's voice resounded directly in his heart:
"The passage is complete, the time has come. Chosen Ones, come and join us!"
Lin De stood up, his aura deep and unfathomable. He stepped out of the meditation room, his figure vanishing instantly, and the next moment, he appeared outside the Temple of Ten Thousand Beasts.
In the sky, a colossal vortex of crimson energy slowly rotates, its center dark and deep, emanating a powerful, dimensional-transcending suction force. That is the expeditionary passage to the "Crawling Stomach"!
Uranus's immense will manifested—the head of an energy behemoth hovered before the vortex, its lava eyes looking at Lind and nodding slightly.
Without uttering any further words, Lin De transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the crimson energy vortex without hesitation.
Urano's will unleashed a roar that shook the heavens and earth, as if the power of the entire divine kingdom was being amplified upon it. Following closely behind Lind, it crashed into the passage!
The war of gods begins!
