"Work~~~Work hard~~~Dig out all the ore here!"

'Ding ding~~~Dang dang~~Ding ding~~~'

In the belly of the mountain, in an underground mine emitting a faint green light, a bald supervisor was waving the whip in his hand with all his might, roaring with insufficient breath.

Basket after basket of green ore was transported out of the mine by small mining carts and directly sent to a secret alchemy laboratory also built in the heart of the mountains.

In the laboratory, exhausted young mages were working hard to extract extremely low-content phantom elements from the ore.

At the same time, in another laboratory, two men were observing the work in the alchemy laboratory through a large water mirror.

One of the men had gray hair, cloudy eyes, and multiple inexplicable burns on his skin.

He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the content of the luminous element in the ore is very low, but its toxicity is extremely strong."

"Although the alchemy apprentices have been blessed with special protective spells and wear metal clothing to isolate themselves, they can only work for fifteen years at most."

The other man was tall and strong, wearing steel-gray full body armor. He was the mortal incarnation of the Lord of War, Hegrid.

He stared into the water mirror: "What about fifteen years from now?"

"He died in ten years."

The old wizard looked indifferent, as if he was talking about a very ordinary little thing.

The Lord of War nodded slowly: "It's not bad if it can be used for fifteen years."

These alchemy apprentices were all orphans, without any family support or extraordinary talents. They were purely consumables.

In fact, in Hegrid's eyes, all mortals are consumables, but some are consumable for a longer time and some are consumable for a shorter time, but their essence is the same.

As for the miners, they were not human beings at all in his eyes.

He asked again: "What is the production of Phantom Light Elements?"

"On average, about 50 colognes of ghost light coarse powder can be extracted in a month." (Note: 1 cologne equals 500 grams).

Hegrit calculated in his mind that the coarse powder of the ghost light was a powder containing 40% of the pure ghost light element. 50 colognes could be concentrated into 20 colognes of pure ghost light element.

"not bad."

Currently, he owns ten Phantom Mine, and this is just one of them.

The combined output of the ten mines is about 180 clones of pure Phantom Elements per month, and he has currently accumulated a total of 400 colognes of usable Phantom Elements.

Actually, he had no intention of using these phantom light elements to create solar weapons, because these weapons were too powerful, and once the relevant knowledge was leaked, it might threaten his rule over mortals.

His original intention was to use them to create a power source that could provide a stable supply of power to power the War Chessboard, the Sunset Round Shield, and his own war field.

But before the source of power could be manipulated, the situation changed.

Looking at the 'consumables' working hard in the water mirror, Hegrid whispered to the mine manager beside him: "Leop, let these alchemy apprentices eat better. Give them some meat every day. Don't let them starve."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"If a miner dies, throw the body far away to avoid causing a plague."

The person in charge, Leop, chuckled: "Master, don't worry. The miners who were poisoned by the ghost light ore will not rot at all. They will only become mummies dried by the wind."

Hegrid was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Not bad."

He turned and left the dim laboratory inside the mountain, and immediately headed for another newly established laboratory.

The purpose of this laboratory is to create solar weapons.

The head of the laboratory is Hegrid himself.

The main task of the laboratory is to concentrate 40% of the coarse powder of the phantom glow into more than 90% of the refined powder of the phantom glow, and use this refined powder to make powerful weapons.

To be honest, although Hegrid knew the basic principles of the solar weapon, he knew almost nothing about the details of its creation.

The reason for this is that he is not a scholar, but a warrior.

Secondly, this solar weapon based on the phantom element has relatively low power and great side effects. It has long been eliminated by the abyss, and his projection in the abyss does not know much about it.

The only advantage of this lowest-level solar weapon is probably that it is easy to manufacture.

But simplicity is only relative to other solar weapons. If you want to make the weapons safe, reliable and perfect, you need to cultivate relevant talents and spend a lot of time, energy and resources to perfect and improve various technical details.

But Hegrid didn't do that. The most crucial part depended entirely on him rubbing it with his mortal body.

Because he was worried that the relevant knowledge would be known to mortals.

In just three days, he had already made five solar weapons by hand.

He was well aware that the solar weapons he had hastily built were crude, unreliable, and not powerful enough.

But it will definitely explode, and it will be extremely poisonous when it explodes.

Hegrid thought to himself: "It's not a good thing, but it's definitely enough to protect myself."

As long as Rosen dares to use solar weapons against the God of War, he will immediately send a group of death-defying saints to take these things and go to the natural plane for revenge.

When creating the sixth sun weapon, Hegrid couldn't help but think:

"Perhaps, I should not retaliate passively, but take the initiative to attack."

The thought flashed through his mind and was then rejected.

"Hergritte, don't be stupid!"

He snapped at himself.

"That guy's phase teleportation technique is very powerful. Actively attacking him will not only fail to kill him, but will also lead to ruthless revenge."

As the Lord of War, his code of conduct is "either do it or do it completely."

Although he has the solar weapon now, it is far from enough to kill Rosen 100%, so there is no need to do it.

Because if the explosion fails to kill him, his daughter Beludandi will be finished, and the entire War God Clan will be hunted down by that guy afterwards. If things go wrong, the entire War God Clan will be extinct.

Therefore, the current situation where both sides are wary is the best.

After a while, he couldn't help thinking: "My solar weapon is really a bit crude and prone to accidental explosions. Perhaps I should train a group of specialized weapon refiners to help me improve my solar weapon."

This was not the first time this thought came to his mind. It turned over in his mind for a long time, but he finally accepted it.

"Since the Nature Empire has already developed the solar weapon, the relevant knowledge will spread across all planes. There is no point in me hiding it. It is better to research and improve it early so that I can have a handy weapon in the future."

"But if this happens, I will have to significantly strengthen my control over mortals, and there must not be any mistakes."

If something goes wrong and these solar weapons get out of control among the people, then life will be difficult for the war gods.

They can only move to the moon as a group, otherwise they will be wiped out by mortals.

"Hey, I'm going to be busy in the future."

When the sixth sun weapon was completed, instead of being happy, he was secretly worried.

"No matter what, we have become enemies now."

"The Natural Empire is also developing rapidly. Now I can still use this low-level solar weapon to maintain the balance, but in a few years, it will probably be useless."

"So, if I don't do something, I'm just waiting to die."

"But how can we do it?"

Hercules thought hard but could not come up with any good solution.

So I could only concentrate on making the seventh sun weapon.

When he was halfway through rubbing the scissors, he suddenly received a message from his wife Margaret: "Dear, someone is looking for you."

"Who?" Hegrid was stunned, wondering who was so bold as to let his wife pass the message.

"Gormiral's watchdog, Attumen, Lord of the Sun."

"What is he doing here?!"

Hegrid had no good feelings towards Gomilel, and he was particularly disgusted with the Hound of Light under his command.

Because Gao Miller's projection body comes from the former divine world "Glorious Glory", which is now the Nightmare Abyss.

Hegrid is determined to break free from the control of the abyss, hoping that the abyss will be closed forever or even disappear completely.

But this Gao Miller was determined to open the door to the abyss completely.

The two sides have different paths, so naturally they dislike each other.

The wife's voice came again: "He said he came to help you deal with the common enemy."

"A common enemy?"

Hegrid's heart moved, and the tentacles of consciousness immediately withdrew from the mortal body and returned to the Temple of War on the Ridge of Victory.

"Let him come into the palace and see me."

After saying this, Hegrid waited on the throne.

After a while, a deep golden figure descended from the sky and landed in the center of the temple. It was Antumen, the Lord of the Sun.

Atumen is portrayed as a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe, with a handsome and gentle face and thick golden hair.

At this moment, he was holding a white jade and gold-headed sun staff in his hand, and a seemingly inconspicuous one-handed sword was hanging on his waist.

"Hail, great lord of war."

Hegrid looked at Attumen, and finally his eyes settled on the one-handed sword.

"You are so small, yet you dare to carry the Sword of Extinction around with you? Aren't you afraid that someone will steal it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Atumen took off his one-handed sword and held it with both hands.

"Lord of War, there is no need to take it, because I am planning to give it to you."

"Um?!"

This was really beyond Hegrid's expectations.

"This is the most precious thing in Gomilel's heart. If you give it to me, aren't you afraid that your master will kill you?"

Atumen smiled and said, "I am offering it to you because I want to lend it to you for use for a period of time, not as a gift to you."

"When you use this sword to kill the enemy and rescue your trapped daughter, you will have to return it to me."

Hegrid sneered: "What if I don't return it?"

Atumen respectfully placed the Sword of Extinction on the ground in front of him.

"In the future, it will not be me who will ask you for the sword, but my master."

"So, of course you don't have to pay it back, but you don't have to tell me."

As he spoke, Atumen took out an exquisite spiritual scroll and gently placed it next to the Sword of Annihilation.

"The magic sword is extremely powerful and requires special sword skills to cooperate with it. Please practice carefully according to the contents of the scroll to maximize the power of the magic sword."

Hegrid stared at the mighty sword on the ground, then looked at Attumen, lost in thought.

Atumen didn't say anything, just waited patiently.

Three minutes later, Hegrid said calmly: "You are using me, and I hate being used the most."

"No, I'm helping you deal with a strong enemy."

Hegrid shook his head: "I don't want to talk nonsense."

"Take the sword and get out of my sight immediately!"

Atumen was surprised: "Great Lord of War, don't you want to save your daughter?"

Hegrid stood up suddenly and roared loudly.

"Are you deaf? Get out of here right now!"

The sound was like rolling thunder, and a large number of incandescent runes appeared in the air, which was a sign that the war domain was about to begin.

Atumen was shocked and immediately took the sword and quickly left the Temple of War.

After watching Attumen leave, Hegrid sat down again, motionless, like a statue.

But he had a thought in his mind: 'Perhaps, this is my chance to be free.'

There are two ways to gain freedom.

The first is to improve the body structure and shield against the influence from the abyss.

The second is to completely destroy the abyss.

He didn't dare to think of the second way before, but now, he saw a glimmer of hope.

Because he found that he had greatly underestimated the Natural Empire.

This natural empire must have shown the potential to truly threaten the abyss, otherwise Attumen would not have risked borrowing the sword.

He thought secretly: "It would be best if the Abyss and the Natural Empire were destroyed together in the flames of war!"
