Chapter 87 Defeel Oracle Slate, Becoming the God of Weapons 1
Book of Creation, Page 15 —————
[God of Weapons]
[God of Weapons・Godhood (Incomplete 1%)]
[Complete conditions: Create more complete weapons.]
"The hammer is ready." Tartarus disappeared into the hall.
> In a flash, he appeared in the eastern part of the underworld, among the volcanoes.
At this time, at the foot of a volcano, three Cyclops, with their strong upper bodies naked and covered in sweat, sat around and looked at the huge war hammer, their eyes full of excitement.
Sensing Tartarus's presence, the Cyclops leader, Brontes, stood up excitedly: "Your Majesty Tartarus, we succeeded! We have made this war hammer complete."
Strophos grinned, waved his two big fists, and said with a silly smile: "I like to beat."
Argus also smiled innocently and said, "It's complete."
Tartarus beckoned, and the hammer flew toward him.
This war hammer is dozens of times larger than the current body of Tartarus.
He stretched out his hand close to the war hammer, released his spiritual thoughts, and sensed quickly.
"It's done." Tartarus said to himself.
In order to create weapons, he extracted hundreds of substances of different origins from meteorites in space.
A small amount of abyssal matter and underworld matter was also added.
Including this war hammer, he shaped fifteen weapons.
Tartarus's elemental body once tried to use the law of fire, hammering one punch at a time, and spent hundreds of years to temper these weapons.
But after decades of hammering, these weapons are still not complete and are still semi-finished products.
For the weak humans born in the future, any finished weapon can enhance their combat effectiveness.
It only needs to be formed and then used to exert destructive power.
However, for gods, these semi-finished products can be easily destroyed.
In Tartarus's eyes, that is equivalent to waste.
Therefore, the original war hammer was just a showpiece, with an unfinished structure, and could only be considered an ordinary weapon, not a weapon that could be used by gods.
Now, what the three Cyclops had created in a month was the divine weapon that Tartarus wanted.
Tartarus didn't quite understand the specific structure of the fully formed warhammer.
But he could roughly see it.
This war hammer was forged by three Cyclops who swung their fists and hammered it with great force.
At the same time, they combined their divine perception with the forging method that only they understood, and added a powerful divine bombardment.
Finally, the hammer was fully formed.
The war hammer was most likely forged by Tartarus, and it was he and the three Cyclops who worked together to forge this war hammer.
He created the Chaos World, the first weapon that the gods could use.
Thus, the Book of Creation activated the God of Weapons, the fragment of the Godhead.
Then, Tartarus waved his hand, swallowing the other fourteen weapons remaining in the space, and then appeared in front of the three Cyclops.
Tartarus said, "This war hammer is given to you. You can use it to fight and forge weapons in the future."
"These fourteen weapons are also semi-finished products. Among them are two warhammers. Once they are successfully forged, they will also belong to you as a reward for helping me forge the other twelve weapons."
"No!" Brontes said hurriedly, "You have given us the divine authority of the guardian of the underworld and let us control the eastern region of the underworld."
"You have already given us so much. Helping you to forge these weapons is our three brothers' way of repaying you. We cannot ask for a war hammer anymore."
The second oldest, Strophes, also said, "I prefer beating, not hammering."
The third brother, Argus, also said: "We want rewards, not war hammers."
"No need to refuse." Tartarus gave a mysterious smile. "I knew you would come to the underworld, so I forged three half-finished war hammers earlier. I'm leaving them for you."
"I've said before, this world is magical. If you lose something, you might also gain something. You lost the divine authority you were born with, so you now possess powerful divine power and strength."
"But at the same time, you also possess the talent for forging weapons. Therefore, the three warhammers originally belonged to you."

"Work hard! With the warhammers, you can complete these weapons faster. You deserve these three warhammers."

After saying this, Tartarus disappeared...
Staring blankly at the disappearing Tartarus, the third brother Argus looked at Brontes and asked, "Do we have weapons?"
Stropos said, "I like to beat you, beat you quickly."
The eldest, Brontes, nodded, his eyes blazing with enthusiasm. "Yes! We possess more than just the Warhammer; we possess something far greater!"
"The Underworld is truly suitable for us. His Majesty Tartarus has treated us well, cared for us, and pointed out the true direction for us. We must work hard to forge weapons and protect the Underworld."
"I love the underworld!" said Strophus.
>"Let's fight! I think we should use a war hammer." Argus said excitedly.
Suddenly, within the eastern volcanoes of the underworld, a huge pounding sound was heard again...
A distance that the three Cyclops could not perceive.
On the top of a mountain, Gaia, the Earth Mother, looked into the distance with a look of relief in her eyes.
Tartarus appeared beside Gaia and said with a smile, "It's rare for Sister Gaia to come to the underworld. The last time was over a thousand years ago."
Tartarus had been to the earth several times, but only when Gaia gave birth to new gods, and he could only perceive them secretly with his divine sense.
In the end, Tartarus did not show up.
This was the first time they met again after more than a thousand years.
Gaia looked at Tartarus beside her.
She suddenly felt that Tartarus was already mysterious.
Now it has become more mysterious, making it even harder for her to see through it.
Tartarus's divine power was still far less powerful than hers, but it was increasing rapidly and getting closer to her.
At the same time, the power of laws surrounding Tartarus is much more diverse than before.
Gaia said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Thank you for taking care of my children over the years. Especially the three Cyclops."
Tartarus smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Every god has his own splendor and value. We are helping each other."
Gaia said, "I understand. You are helping them. At our current stage, some things are no longer useful to us."
"Language and writing, for example, will have little impact on your strength. Ultimately, the ones who truly benefit are Mnemosyne and all the new gods."
"For example, weapons are also useful to the New Gods. For us, these benefits are not significant."
"I don't understand why you keep helping my children, but this is how it turned out, and I'm grateful to you."
"In Chaos World, you control far more areas than I do. I have very little to thank you for."
"But your concern for my three Cyclops children makes me feel like I need to give something."
As she spoke, three stone tablets emitting the aura of destiny appeared in her hands.
"The Delphic Oracle Tablet?" Tartarus was surprised.
At this moment, three stone tablets were floating in front of Gaia, and on each stone tablet there was an inscription:
[Know yourself]
[Don't overdo anything]
[If you make a false oath, disaster is imminent]
These three inscriptions are not fixed characters, but mysterious secret texts.
When Tartarus saw the inscription on the stone tablet, he naturally understood its meaning.
This is similar to how Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, transmits memories to the gods.
It is not affected by different written languages, and when it is introduced, the gods naturally understand the meaning of memory.
After seeing these three sentences, Tartarus was certain that this was the future Delphic Oracle Tablet.
He didn't expect that he would encounter these three stone slabs in this way.
Since becoming the God of Prophecy, his sensitivity to the laws of fate has become very keen.
These three stone tablets seem to be condensed from the laws of fate and have the mysterious power of foresight.
Gaia said, "When the goddess of justice, Themis, was born, the earth began to conceive these three stone tablets. Recently, they have been fully conceived."
"The laws of destiny held by these three stone tablets are very rich. I haven't discovered any special powers in them yet."
"But I'm sure these should be similar to the Bottle of Life. They must have special abilities and they must be extraordinary."
"One of the three tablets is yours. Thank you for helping my children, Tartarus. You choose one."

Tartarus muttered to himself: "Know thyself, do not overdo anything, and take a rash oath and disaster will come. Three profound words. I choose, know thyself."
Tartarus couldn't sense what special abilities the three oracle tablets possessed, but he preferred the first sentence.
Up to now, he has a lot of divine power and ability, and he is indeed the one who should know himself the most.
Gaia took back the other two slates and waved.
The stone tablet with the inscription "Know thyself" flew close to Tartarus.
"Thank you, Sister Gaia." Tartarus smiled and took the oracle tablet.
He was not sure what abilities this thing possessed, but he was certain that this oracle tablet must contain some kind of great power.
>
Gaia said, "Tartarus, I possess the authority of the Mother Goddess, and Uranus possesses the authority of the Father God. If we give birth to a new god, we will be rewarded by the world."
"So, the birth of a new god will make me stronger and stronger. I can sense that you possess the authority of the Father God, but it is very weak."
"When a new god is born, the rewards the world gives you might not be as much as the losses you incur, so I'm very curious."
"The birth of your child didn't enhance your strength, but instead robbed you of some of your divine power and essence. Why do you continue to give birth to new gods?"
Tartarus smiled and said, "As long as my lover wants a new god to be born, then let it be born! I can still bear the current loss."
Gaia said, "Have you never despised your own children? For example, your child Charon has no divine authority and is dispensable to the world of Chaos."
"Even his appearance is not liked by the gods. He is of no help to the Abyss of Darkness, to you and Nyx. Have you never despised him?"
Tartarus smiled and said, "I have never disliked it."

"It's not up to them to decide what kind of appearance they'll be born into, or what divine authority they possess. In fact, the divine authority of many new gods' births isn't something we, as the Father and Mother Gods, can decide."
"Whether it's good or bad, it's not their fault. Since fate has determined this, when what has happened cannot be undone, what we can do is to make the future better as much as possible."
"I believe that every deity has its own splendor and value. As long as we discover them, we will find their advantages."
Gaia frowned slightly.
She understood what Tartarus said, but if she were asked to think that way, she couldn't do it.
She continued, "Most of your children participated in the meeting of the gods of the earth. Have you ever been afraid of being isolated by your own children?"
Tartarus smiled and said, "Don't worry. Occasionally chatting with Nyx and Hemera, and then understanding my true self, this kind of life is enough."
"It's the children's freedom to make whatever choices and decisions they want. If they like it, then so be it."
Tartarus never worried about his children having any excessive thoughts.
Over the years, he has seen almost everything clearly.
In addition to the day goddess Hemera, who was born from Nyx alone, she may have been influenced by the fragments of Nyx's soul and has a bit of Nyx's ambition and sociable personality traits when she was young.
Other gods of the underworld?
They all live in their own world.
Charon who rowed the boat, Death who ate dirt, Somnium who slept, Eris who stayed at home, and Aether who disappeared without a trace.
Even the Big Dipper gods he created liked to chase Hemera and didn't have too many messy thoughts.
Tartarus felt that, according to Gaia's understanding of isolation, he was already isolated by his own children, or rather, his lonely children were isolated from each other.
Later, when several gods of Midnight attended the meeting of gods, it was Tartarus who asked Hemera to find an opportunity to take them there.
Hemera could not catch up with Aether, the god of light, and he was her brother, so she could not persuade him.
Tartarus naturally couldn't tell Gaia.
Except for Hemera, the other gods of the dark night were actually dragged along by Hemera to join in the fun.
"Perhaps you are right, but my children, if we allow them to develop freely, the world will be unstable. Only I can control it." Gaia said.
"Indeed, your children are outstanding." Tartarus said.
"It's nice to talk to you again after a thousand years, brother Tartarus." Gaia smiled gently.
"I'm happy too." Tartarus smiled.
Then, Gaia disappeared from the spot and soon disappeared into the underworld.
Every time the three Cyclops forged a weapon, Tartarus, who created a semi-finished weapon, was also considered to have successfully created a weapon.
On the last page of the Book of Creation, the completeness of the God of Weapons' divinity increases significantly.
With the other two hammers successfully forged, the three Cyclops all had hammers to strike, and the efficiency of forging weapons was much faster than before.
In just half a year, the three Cyclops had successfully crafted all fourteen weapons that Tartarus had produced.
At this time, the godhood of Tartarus, the god of weapons, also reached 100% full value.

Chapter 87: Defeel Oracle Tablet, Becoming the God of Weapons
He directly possessed the divine authority of the God of Weapons.
After possessing it, he understood the divine authority of the God of Weapons, which also belonged to the divine authority of forging, but he was not the God of Forging.
He could sense that he controlled about 70% of the current divine power of the forging department.
4
Although the three Cyclops did not have complete forging divine power, each of them controlled 10% of the forging authority, which was why they were more proficient in forging.
This is somewhat similar to the power of the ocean god, currently controlled by the first sea god Pontus, the ocean river god Oceanus and the ocean goddess Thesis in a ratio of 4:3:3.
After becoming the God of Weapons, Tartarus, with his divine authority, was the first to perceive the specific structure of the hammers in the hands of the three Cyclops.
Then, he sensed the structures of the other twelve weapons.
> When he had a clear understanding of the structures of the fifteen complete weapons, Tartarus fell into the perception of the authority of the God of Weapons.
A year later, Tartarus's abyss body appeared in the abyss.
This time, he wanted to create something more powerful than those fifteen weapons, a true divine weapon!
As Gaia said, Tartarus controls the abyss, the underworld, and space.
Although up to now, he has not been favored by Chaos like the Earth Mother Gaia, who thus has the companion artifact, the Bottle of Life, and the Oracle Slate of Defir that was born later.
But Tartarus controls more materials, especially meteorites in space, which contain various mysterious origins.
The fifteen weapons mentioned above were formed by Tartarus using a mixture of meteorites, underworld and abyss materials from space.
This is considered the most advanced material composition in the Chaos world.
Afterwards, the three Cyclops integrated the laws they controlled into these semi-finished weapons and hammered them with divine power.
Now, Tartarus has become the God of Weapons and has mastered the ability to forge weapons.
Gaia only saw the weapons made by the Cyclops, which were only suitable for ordinary gods and could be considered ordinary artifacts.
Now, Tartarus wants to create a super powerful artifact that can amplify himself.
In the land of the abyss.
Tartarus used his divine power to attract a large number of space meteorites.
There are also underworld materials and earth ores that he obtained from Gaia earlier.
At the same time, a large amount of soil and rocks from the abyss naturally floated around.
Finally, there is a skeletal arm.
This arm was the severed arm of Uranus that he got during his first battle with the sky god Uranus.
Earlier, Tartarus had only devoured the flesh and blood of the arm, leaving behind the broken bones.
Uranus, the god of the sky, is a powerful god who can compete with the primordial gods in strength.
Especially powerful, the strength of the divine body may be close to that of Gaia, who has the strongest defense.
Tartarus has kept this broken arm with the intention of using it to make weapons in the future.
His divine consciousness spread out, sensing all matter.
No, the more substances incorporated, the stronger the weapon will be.
Different mineral substances contain different characteristics, and some substances are inherently mutually exclusive and conflicting.
Tartarus understood that as a forger, the different fundamental laws he incorporated into the forging of weapons would also result in differences in the weapons.
Therefore, he is now perceiving and analyzing all substances, so as to fuse the substances with the highest compatibility.
The Cyclops used the high-frequency hammering of the war hammer and the bombardment of the divine power of the laws to refine and forge weapons.
This is a relatively primitive way of building.
Tartarus's divine consciousness, divine power, and even strength far surpass those of the Cyclops.
At the same time, his achievement as the God of Weapons was no longer limited to superficial hammering and forging.
He can create various weapon-making methods on his own.
And now, Tartarus is making weapons in his own way.
He mobilized various divine powers to completely decompose these substances into particles as small as elemental particles.
Then, he extracted as much of the essence contained in meteorites, the underworld, and the abyss as possible, turning them into extremely thin threads of essence.
Perceiving and analyzing the particles, Tartarus once again mobilized the authority of the God of Weapons, allowing the highly compatible particles to merge with the original laws.
During the fusion, he used his divine consciousness to purify and refine it...
Three months later, a powerful and terrifying aura containing boundless destructive, explosive and chaotic power erupted from the abyss.
It swept across the entire abyss land, even causing slight vibrations in the abyss itself.

Chapter 87: Defeel Oracle Tablet, Becoming the God of Weapons
As the black divine light dissipated, a long sword appeared in front of Tartarus.
The long sword was jet black in color and had an ordinary appearance, but the aura it exuded was infinitely close to that of the divine body of Tartarus.
It was as if he had transformed into a long sword, standing still in mid-air, emitting a powerful invisible divine power.
Tartarus reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword, swinging it casually.
The four elements of fire, water, wind and earth are mobilized by it.
Giant flaming sword beams, flowing sword beams, gale sword beams, and yellow sand sword beams flew forward and bombarded the land of the abyss.
Four deep pits and gullies tens of millions of meters long appeared on the abyss land.
Terrifying power!
Then, Tartarus swung his sword again.
The star-studded sword light, the chaotic sword light, the abyssal sword light...
Looking at the sword in his hand, Tartarus revealed a satisfied expression: "Yes, it contains the power of all the divine laws that I control, and it greatly increases the destructive power of my divine power."
"At the same time, it also possesses a portion of the power of the sky. Uranus's broken arm plays a significant role."
"This is the first sword I forged after becoming the God of Weapons, and it's also the sword that suits me best. I was originally the God of Hell and the Abyss, so this sword shall be called the Sword of the Abyss!"
After Tartarus named the sword in his hand, the sword in his hand emitted a faint black divine light, as if responding to him.
As the God of Souls, he quickly sensed the tiny soul power generated in the Sword of Abyss.
"Sword spirit?" Tartarus was slightly surprised and sensed it carefully.
In the end, he determined that the soul in the Sword of the Abyss was still very weak, not even as strong as the soul power of an ordinary blade of grass.
"It will take a long time for him to grow. Perhaps as I fight more with the Sword of Abyss, he will grow faster." Tartarus judged.
Then, the sword of the abyss in his hand flew into the divine body, and Tartarus left the abyss.
After returning to the underworld, Tartarus began to refine the twelve weapons again.
These weapons were initially semi-finished products, and were hammered and forged into complete pieces by the Cyclops, but they were not yet at their strongest.
As Tartarus became the God of Weapons, he understood weapons better and naturally realized that these weapons could be further refined and strengthened.
Compared to forging the Sword of the Abyss and refining and strengthening twelve weapons, it didn't take too long. <1
It took Tartarus a year to refine these weapons again.
He has no plans to give these weapons to his children for the time being.
Once they become dependent on weapons, they may no longer feel the divine authority, which may in turn slow down their growth.
Just as Tartarus finished refining the last weapon, a god came to the underworld.
Themis, goddess of justice!
The center of the underworld, surrounded by the spiraling Styx, the Oath-Keeping River.
In the main hall.
Looking at the goddess below, Tartarus smiled and said, "Welcome, goddess of justice Themis. What can I do for you in the underworld?"
