As Helant processed the materials, the piles of items on the ground were continuously compressed, shaped, and stripped of impurities.
A collar with a silver-white base and scarlet, strange patterns gradually appeared before everyone.
Herox, possessing a dragon bloodline, clearly felt that this collar seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to him.
It seemed to be a treasure that naturally belonged to dragons.
Helant examined the shaped collar and nodded, quite satisfied with its appearance.
Momonga, watching from the side, followed every step Helant took without missing a beat. The moment the collar appeared, he could not help but want to laugh.
"Helant's wicked sense of humor… a collar…"
Does he want to treat the Dragon Race like dogs?
Once the appearance was set, Helant controlled the collar to float in front of him, held his hands loosely on either side of it, and activated his alchemy ability.
The ability of a [World Alchemist] is to grant items temporary World Item attributes.
In the game, World Items were incredibly precious, serving as the trump cards of top players or even guild powers, never to be revealed lightly.
Thus, the value generated by Helant's special class [World Alchemist] became immeasurable. Although it could not compare to a true World Item, it was still significantly more powerful than an ordinary Divine-class item.
This was also the reason why he was hailed as Nazarick's Master of Logistics.
Many pieces of equipment were his creations, and he had quickly accumulated a great deal of wealth through his special class.
Helant's hands shifted continuously, carving intricate and complex runes onto the collar, until a familiar fluctuation made Momonga's and Albedo's eyes light up.
"The feeling of a World Item?!"
Momonga touched the [Red Orb] embedded in his abdomen, feeling the extremely similar aura, and a red light flashed in his eyes.
It worked?!
Albedo lightly caressed the Downfall of Castle and Country she wore, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and love.
Lord Helant is the best!
"It's only temporary. It still needs reinforcement!" Helant drew two thousand points of Faith Power directly from the Faith Pool, pouring it all into the collar as if it cost nothing.
Under Helant's control, the majestic Faith Power merged into the unstable runes like a docile sheep.
"Faith Power is excellent for maintaining the World Protection characteristic so it doesn't disappear."
As the Faith Power completely stabilized the runes, the collar in front of Helant could finally be considered to truly possess a portion of the traits of a World Item.
He glanced at the little Faith Power remaining in the Faith Pool. He did not look closely, but it should last until the first World Item was finished.
"Suzuki-san, your turn."
Since it was a World Item, it could not just be an empty shell.
The Bloodline Atavism Magic that Momonga had found in Khajiit's memories earlier would come in handy now.
As an Undead, Momonga had a passive ability called [Dark Wisdom], which allowed him to break through limits and master more than twice the number of spells an average player could.
In this other world, this passive undoubtedly greatly enhanced Momonga's learning ability, allowing him to master Khajiit's magic with almost no effort.
Momonga's two pale bone claws were shrouded in a thick blood-red mist, and a complex magic circle lit up from his hands, its runes flowing across it.
Maximize Magic: Bloodline Atavism Magic, activate!
Looking at the clearly visible runes on the magic circle, Helant unhesitatingly activated his [World Alchemist] ability, extracting the runes from the magic circle in Momonga's hands bit by bit and replicating them into the collar.
These runes were far from reaching the world-class level, so there was no need to waste Faith Power to reinforce them.
After the replication was complete, the intended effect manifested immediately.
The complex and eerie runes flowed like water within the scarlet of the collar, tugging at the hearts of Albedo and the others every second.
Whether they were demons or dragons, they were races that relied heavily on bloodlines.
Once the Bloodline Atavism Magic was activated, combined with the aura of a World Item, the dual effect actually caused greed to rise in their hearts.
Mino's and Albedo's eyes were momentarily glued to the scarlet collar.
Herox was even more agitated, suppressing the dragon instinct to plunder treasure.
This item had an immense attraction to the Dragon Race!
But it wasn't over yet.
After all, Bloodline Atavism Magic was created by Khajiit. For a powerhouse at the level of a True Dragon Lord, the boost it provided would definitely be negligible.
Relying on attraction alone would definitely not make the Dragon Race fight like dogs over it.
"I still need to add the final step." Helant condensed another emerald-green life orb and said to Albedo, "Just like before, use Downfall of Castle and Country on the orb."
Without much hesitation, Albedo cooperatively shot the dragon shadow toward the orb.
When the orb and the dragon shadow merged, Helant looked at the Faith Pool and drained the remaining one thousand Faith Power in one go.
This one thousand Faith Power was mixed and fused with life force and the power of will modification, finally disappearing into the orb.
Compared to the positive trait of World Protection, a debuff like the will-modification power of Downfall of Castle and Country was much easier to maintain.
It only needed a tiny bit of Faith Power to stay hidden within the vast life force for a very, very long time.
According to Helant's estimate, it would not dissipate for at least a hundred years.
After confirming everything was correct, he slowly merged the life force orb into the collar as the reinforcing foundation for the Bloodline Atavism Magic.
As the life force began its nourishment, the attraction of the collar became even stronger.
In Herox's mind, an ethereal voice seemed to be telling him that as long as he wore the collar, he would become stronger.
Put it on, this belongs to you! Put it on, this belongs to you! Put it on, this belongs to you! Put it on, this belongs to you! Put it on, this belongs to you! Put it on, this belongs to you!
After an unknown amount of time, Herox suddenly snapped awake, only to find Helant and the others staring at him with teasing expressions.
"Uh, Father… what happened…" Herox looked a bit embarrassed.
Seeing this, Helant weighed the collar in his hand and smiled. "Momonga, the plan to forge a pseudo-World Item is basically complete."
Momonga also nodded happily.
There were no exaggerated scenes, no unimaginable setbacks.
Helant-san had simply gathered some materials, tinkered with them a bit, and a World Item targeting the Dragon Race was finished?
He carefully examined the collar.
If an item has the aura of a World Item and the passive effects of a World Item…
Then what is it?
It was hard to imagine. If the experimental results were good, Momonga truly would not dare to imagine that Helant-san could actually hand-craft a World Item.
Thinking of this, Momonga watched as Helant placed the collar around Herox's neck.
"I've named it [Ancient Bloodline]."
The next second, Herox's aura suddenly surged by thirty percent, and a terrifying Dragon Might erupted like a gale.
