Apocalypse Forecast

The delicate sound spreads from Peppa’s mask.

And from Huai Shi’s side...

Huai Shi glanced back in confusion and saw the crack behind him.

The originally uninvolved Ultraman Brothers had frozen, countless cracks appeared on their bodies, and they lowered their heads, looking at their shattered hands, not understanding what was happening.

Why is Peppa unharmed, but something happened to them?

Soon after, they felt a massive pull.

From the record of identical events... Peppa’s soul was the source!

"Oh no."

Tharlo’s action halted abruptly, "I am... being drawn in..."

In an instant, his shell disintegrated into ashes, as if in self-destruction.

But the Source Substance transformed into a stream of glowing red, falling towards Peppa.

Then Jack, Cyber...

In an instant, five Axes of Anger fused into one.

The sound of iron rubbing continuously erupted, akin to the high-pitched scream of a crystal growing.

A violent light burst forth once again, spraying from Peppa’s shell, from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

It was fire.

Angry flames.

Through the gradually cracking crevices, strands of scorching flame spread forth, stinging the viewer’s eyes and rendering them blinding.

Accompanied by Peppa supporting his body, laboriously raising his head, increasingly rampant flames spew out from the shell, gradually transforming into jet-black flames, engulfing the swiftly morphing shell.

Huai Shi couldn’t help but step back, fingers hovering over the delete key.

What happened?

Was it a success or failure?

Why did this aberration occur?

Yet the Source Fluctuation of the forged item gradually transitioned from chaotic to pure, akin to the Damascus pattern revealed after the tempering of a Sharp Blade, causing Huai Shi to widen his eyes.

Unbelievable.

This is secondary casting!

Performing second processing on a completed work, forcefully elevating the quality of the work. Unique to the ’Grower,’ one of the thirteen Kings of Casting in the Town of Dusk, it’s the [Nirvana Metamorphosis]!

"...Alive!"

The skeleton was the first to perceive what had occurred, blurting out.

Even without eyes, it saw clearly, even more vividly than Huai Shi — it wasn’t the event record that came alive. Regardless of how similar they are to Huai Shi, they remain dead objects etched with past history.

At this moment, it wasn’t Peppa who came to life, but the Source Iron asleep within, Huai Shi’s Soul Armor!

As the cracking sound erupt, a hoarse shriek abruptly burst forth!

Peppa’s body completely collapsed in the flames, jet-black flames dispersed, delineating a menacing outline, with heat that overwhelmed!

When the ascending flames dissipated, an entirely different colossal entity appeared in front of Huai Shi.

Eternal unending angry flames flickered within the eyes and mouth, red fur, with rugged horns.

Countless scorching red iron transformed into fur, covering the entity’s torso, making the presence even more massive, reaching over two meters high.

Jet-black flames entwined with scorching red iron hair danced, forming tiger-like stripes in a sea of red.

Sharp horns angling towards the sky, the enormous shell so heavy that just its iron hoof stepping forward caused the entire workshop to shake suddenly!

Where it passed, everything was burned to charred black.

It was clearly an Incendiary Giant Ox bathing in roaring flames!

At this moment, it raised its head, as large as half of Huai Shi, and looked around perplexed. Its deep voice resembled a multitude of angry roars overlapping, reverberating like thunder in Huai Shi’s ears.

"Do I look strange!?"

Huai Shi instinctively shook his head.

"Uh..."

Thinking for a long while, he said, "Very distinctive."

"Then... that’s good."

The embodiment of the Axe of Anger nodded slowly, seemingly content, but it sounded filled with unsatisfied displeasure for not scaring anyone.

The massive body casually paced in the workshop, leaving countless spreading flames, endless anger spreading with its stride.

Huai Shi finally awoke from a prolonged daze.

Took a deep breath of scorching air.

Hard to calm down.

The heart racing, unable to suppress the delight.

This is not just the Grower’s [Nirvana Metamorphosis]! During the second casting, unexpectedly incorporating the Variator’s [Bioreconstruction]!

Just like countless mechanical insects seen in that underground space.

Not only did it immediately materialize the Axe of Anger, but also applied ’Activated,’ the most profound and hardest to master transformation, even boldly considered among the ultimate achievements in the thirteen items of the Forgers!

Gave the void steel its own will, made the creation possess a human soul!

This is ridiculous!

Like hitting the jackpot twice, the first time five hundred, the second time a thousand, with the unit being ten thousand, all as Source Crystals.

Even with the catalyst of a Great Grandmaster’s skeleton, leveraging his own Source Armament to take a shortcut, combined with the Sky’s Command from the Great Priestess, Huai Shi still couldn’t believe such colossal progress and achievement?

A university student inadvertently solving a worldwide problem?

He instinctively glanced at Tong Ji.

Tong Ji spread her hands to show innocence, not everything can be blamed on her, right?

Completely unclear on the reason, but it doesn’t matter.

It’s a success.

Though Alchemy requires miracles, the result is absolutely no accident, but rather inevitable.

Huai Shi just completed the most outstanding work of his life as an Alchemist and Forger, which would even move the most demanding Great Grandmasters.
