Chapter 704 - Forging God
Chapter 704 of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again" begins with intriguing events: Upon hearing this, Natidak reached out with the trident, snagging the nearest object to them.... Donāt miss it!
Upon hearing this, Natidak reached out with the trident, snagging the nearest object to them. He shook off the stomach acid that coated it, held it in his hand, and examined itāit was indeed a treasure.
"Could this be the lost treasure of my sea tribeāthe āHeavenly Copper Mirrorā?!" Natidak exclaimed in surprise. "It was in the hands of a past queen and went missing with her disappearance. I didnāt expect it to show up in the stomach of this Tyson giant snake!"
"This suggests that your past queen must have died in the mouth of this Tyson giant snake," Lu Hong mentioned, pointing at the mirror. "What use is this thing?"
"It can break through any formation, revealing its vital points instantly as long as you possess it. No formation can hide from it," Natidak explained.
Lu Hong nodded. "Itās a good item, but it seems to be of no help in a one-on-one fight."
"Who says that? If you wear it on your chest, this is a Divine Artifact, great for blocking attacks," Natidak disagreed irritably with Lu Hong.
"Okay, okay, youāre right," Lu Hong did not want to argue and picked up a second heavy sword to use as a paddle, beginning to navigate through the giant snakeās stomach.
Soon, they acquired another item floating in the giant snakeās stomachāa small, exquisite gem.
"This is my sea tribeās sacred stone!" Natidak sighed once more. "It was a relic given by the Sea God to the third generation King of the Nagas. I canāt believe that two rulers of my Naga tribe both died at the hands of this giant snake. Thatās truly infuriating!"
"Whatās the use of this stone? And I thought the Nagas were all ruled by queens? Where did this King of the Nagas come from?"
In response to Lu Hongās question, Natidak demonstrated by clutching the sacred stone in his hand. Within the blink of an eye, the previously drained Natidak was lively again, his Magic Power fully restored. "This is an ancient stone upon which the Sea God sat when he ascended to the God Realm. It has absorbed the essence of the Divine Power during the Sea Godās ascension. Though its size has diminished through the Sea Godās refinement, its divine essence remains. Carrying this stone is akin to having the Sea Godās blessing continuously protecting you, while also providing rapid restoration of Magic Powerāa moving Magic Power repository."
"As for the King of the Nagas, who told you it was always a queen?" Natidak explained, "In the history of our Naga sea tribe, there have been four Kings of the Nagas. If a Naga Queen perishes in an accident, then Iād follow in line as the first, becoming the King of the Nagas."
"Do the Nagas have a concept of abdication?"
"Thereās no such thing. Generally, itās only after the previous Naga King dies that the next King or Queen is chosen."
As they continued their casual conversation, the two paddled their makeshift āboatā through the snakeās stomach.
After several hours, they saw a hill of bones accumulated inside the giant snakeās stomach.
Moreover, it seemed not naturally piled but deliberately constructed.
Natidak and Lu Hong exchanged glancesācould there possibly be people alive in here?
As they cautiously approached, the bone hill suddenly shifted slightly, and a bridge made of bones stretched out from it, landing in front of them.
"Donāt worry, you two little fellows, I mean no harm." The owner of Bone Hill spoke. "Itās been a long time since Iāve seen live humans. Come in, let me have a look at you."
Since there were living humans, they indeed had to meet them, but Lu Hong and Natidak dare not step onto the Bone Bridge in case it was suddenly withdrawn, causing them to fall into the stomach acid and meet instant death.
Therefore, the two rowed their heavy sword boat to the foot of Bone Hill and stepped onto the mound made of bones.
Shortly after, an opening to a cave made of bones appeared before them, and inside, a hunched old man smilingly watched over them: "Hello, young ones."
The two exchanged glances, unable to discern the old manās motives, and bowed respectfully: "Xiao Zheng, Natidak, we greet the elder."
"Xiao Zheng? Are you a human? Natidak... you are from the Naga sea tribe? And a descendant of the royal lineage as well?"
"Who are you, sir? How come you know so much about my sea tribe?"
The old man waved his hand: "I wouldnāt say I know much, just stayed as a guest among your sea tribe for a few days."
"May I ask for your name, sir?"
"Otto Krem, have you ever heard of this name, little brother?"
"Are you Mr. Otto?!" Natidak had certainly heard of this name; he was the creator of the Sea God Trident!
Although the Sea God was powerful, he was not a skilled forging master. The divine artifacts personally refined by the Sea God contained divine power, but they had few functions except for the Sea God Trident, which was a powerful and top-tier divine artifact of the sea race. Initially, the Sea God had invited this Forging God to create it for him.
"Hehe, good to know you recognize me." Otto nodded in satisfaction and pointed at the trident in Natidakās hand, "Is this thing useful?"
"Extremely useful. I genuinely thank you for forging this item for our sea race."
"I wonder how your Sea God is doing now, whether he is making any breakthroughs."
Upon hearing the old man mention the Sea God, Natidakās expression immediately darkened as he said solemnly, "Not long ago, Lord Sea God sacrificed himself to fight against the God of Chaos, and... and he became the sea!"
"Hmm?" Otto was stunned, "Turned into the sea? Are you kidding me?"
"Of course, I dare not deceive you." Natidak then fully recounted the events of that battle to Otto.
After hearing Natidakās explanation, Otto nodded, "I did not expect, did not expect the God of Chaos to be so insane. Fortunately, I did not agree to forge a divine artifact for him, or it could have led to a great disaster."
It was then that Lu Hong, who had been quietly listening, spoke up, "Mr. Otto, how did you end up inside the belly of this Tyson serpent?"
"Me? That story starts ten thousand years ago." The elder casually summoned some bones to form chairs, and after the three sat down, Otto reminisced, "After I finished forging the divine artifact for the Sea God, I resigned and planned to leave the continent to travel the stars and collect forging materials. But as I passed through this strange red ocean, I discovered it was affected by an interdimensional projection. Through the cracks of the projection, I saw just the tip of the iceberg of that world, which contained precious ores I had never seen before, each emitting a strange power. Driven by curiosity, I began searching this ocean for a way to enter that dimension, but during my search, I encountered this giant snake. Not being strong in combat as a forger, I was ultimately swallowed by the serpent and have barely clung to life till today."
Surviving till this day, helping the sea race forge divine artifacts was ten thousand years agoādid Otto actually live inside the snakeās belly for ten thousand years? And this serpent also lived for at least ten thousand years?!
Truly terrifying!
"Isnāt there any way to leave?"
Otto looked at Lu Hong and smiled, "Yes, there is. Although this giant serpent is powerful, it is not of the God Realm. You can break its stomach and escape by blasting any part of its belly with damage that surpasses its defensive strength. Unfortunately, I do not have that ability, and you would need to ascend to godhood to have any chance of escaping the serpentās belly."
The Heavenly God Realm again!
"Is there no other way besides ascending to godhood?"
After closely examining the two, Otto said, "You both are at the peak of the King Realm. If you master a secret technique with powerful destructive abilities, combined with the advantage of a divine artifact, perhaps you could break the serpentās defenses."
Upon hearing this, Lu Hong switched to his Thousand Battles profession and spoke, "Mr. Otto, I have a move; perhaps you could take a look."
"Oh?" A flash of keen interest sparkled in Ottoās eyes as he smiled, "Come on, letās go outside and try it."
Saying this, the three walked out of the Bone Cave.
Otto pointed to a solid spot of flesh in the distance within the serpentās belly and said, "Release your skill towards that area, let me see how strong your secret technique really is."
"Okay!" Lu Hong nodded, slightly crouched, and began charging the Eternal Sword.
After a long ten minutes of charging, Lu Hong surged forward, unleashing a swing of his sword that sent silvery-grey Sword Qi slashing across the serpentās belly.
In the next second, the serpentās body suddenly shook, and its stomach fluids immediately churned.
Otto, undisturbed by the scene, manipulated the Bone Hill to shelter the three of them, protecting them from the splash of stomach fluids.
Once the giant serpentās tumbling had ceased, Otto laughed heartily, "Young man, youāre really something! That strike clearly caused the serpent pain, or why else would it suddenly roll? If matched with the right divine artifact, we might indeed be able to break through the serpent and escape to freedom!"
