The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"Uh... then can you forge me a wondrous artifact that can be used to slay gods?" Fairy Tale said somewhat impatiently.

"What do you want to do with this?" Chen Li's eyes widened as he suddenly saw the risk of the forging commission turn into a red "Danger".

Big Fool Chun, what are you trying to do?!

This was the first time Chen Li had encountered a commission with the element of "danger".

"Isn't this all for you? As my only believer, my power will increase, and you will benefit even more, won't you?"

Chen Li didn't react at all to Tong Hua's statement.

Feeling somewhat uneasy under Chen Li's gaze, Tong Hua spoke up again.

“Xiao Li, you know that for an evil god, the fastest and most effective way to become stronger is to kill other evil gods and absorb their authority. But my authority isn’t good at fighting. Although I’ve become much stronger in this world, it’s still too slow. So I wanted to take a shortcut.” Tong Hua shrugged.

"...So you plan to get the artifact that can kill gods and return to your world to kill all the evil gods in your world?" Chen Li asked with a headache.

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"This is a big problem, okay? Wait a minute."

"Huh?" Tong Hua was puzzled.

Chen Li had already taken out 20 star stones.

Chen Li planned to test out a new feature he gained after completing the second beginner's task.

[Prophecy]: The specific risks of forging commissions can be observed by consuming star stones.

Both the ability to predict and the ability to identify artifacts are professional skills that can better assist the work of the artifact forger.

And this time it just so happens to come in handy.

Chen Li was very curious about the risks of this commission, and he was also very interested in it.

On the one hand, if the wondrous artifact used to slay gods is successfully forged, Chen Li might also find it useful.

On the other hand, Chen Li was also very worried about the situation of Fairy Tale, the big spender.

As the starstone disappeared, the scenery before Chen Li's eyes changed in a hazy way, and a scroll slowly unfolded.

This is a world filled with despair and sorrow.

This is fate, and it is inevitable; this is the final end of the world.

When the originally weak, even feeble, fairytale evil god returns wielding a weapon to slay gods, it signifies that this protracted war of gods will finally come to an end.

In the dim sky, the black sun was adorned with golden edges, but the few survivors under the gloomy ruins could not get even a little bit of heat from the sun.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Until a curious, prying gaze fell upon them, startling this unchanging world.

The sky trembled slightly, and a similarly dim and dark moon slowly appeared on the other side of the sky.

It was as if some supreme power had transformed the sun and moon into the eyes of some indescribable terror.

When their eyes met, the horizon, radiating dazzling light, reappeared in this long-barren world.

That was a faint smile from the final evil god, who had successfully won all the wars of the gods, yet brought the end of the world to an early end and himself had fallen into blind folly, as if he had seen something delightful.

But this smile seemed to squander the last warmth of this world. The world began to collapse and disintegrate until all the "shells" were shed, and the true evil god emerged from his cocoon.

At this moment, He is both an evil god and the world.

The ultimate evil god—[The World]

"Hehehehe!" The eerie laughter echoed continuously, causing the worlds not far from the evil god's [world] to tremble.

Earthquakes and other natural disasters are erupting all over the world.

The evil god, whose laughter alone caused a great tremor, paid no heed to any of this, and instead reached out his hand toward that gaze...

……

"Hey, are you alright?" Tong Hua's voice rang in Chen Li's ears.

The scroll began to close, revealing the real world once more. Chen Li also saw the fairy tale looking at him with some worry.

"If you don't want to forge a rare artifact for me, just say so. Don't scare me like that," Tong Hua complained, seeing that Chen Li seemed to have regained his senses.

"Snap!" Chen Li snapped his fingers.

The Miracle Shield instantly enveloped Chen Li and Tong Hua, isolating them from all harm and causality.

"What, you've changed your mind and are planning to forge this artifact for me right now? But do you have the materials?" Fairy Tale was overjoyed to see the forging furnace appear.

"Let's put the forging of wondrous artifacts aside for now. May I ask, Fairy Tale, among all the evil gods in your world, are you not considered particularly strong?"

Chen Li could see the narration while watching the prophecy, which is why he asked this question.

"Your question is really presumptuous," Tong Hua said, looking at Chen Li with displeasure.

Chapter 31: The ward is not allowed to talk back to the guardian!

Who are you calling a noob?

“Answer me, this is very important.”

"...Okay, okay, I am relatively weak. So what? But is that my problem? Isn't it because fairy tales hadn't been around for very long in the Middle Ages?" Fairy Tale said helplessly, hands on her hips.

So what if it's a little weaker? A weaker evil god is still an evil god.

Born from the grace of heaven and earth, they are immortal and indestructible; the only thing that can destroy them is divine war.

In other words, Fairy Tale is actually an underage evil god because she was born too late.

Of course, even the weakest god is still a god.

Just like even the weakest dragon can't be killed by a single ant.

However, the Fairy Tale Evil God, who has added countless fairy tales to this world and gradually expanded the authority of fairy tales to the stories, is confident that after returning to his own world, he can change his ranking in the power ranking of evil gods from the lower middle to the middle.

"Is it possible that when any one of you evil gods defeats all the others and devours all the authority, he himself will also transform into a mindless final evil god called 'The World'?" Chen Li asked.

That's why Chen Li activated the Miracle Shield.

No curse of time, space, or fate could be cast upon Chen Li.

But fairy tales are not exempt.

Chen Li was afraid that if she discussed it with Tong Hua, Tong Hua would go completely insane.

"How could you... what did you see?" Fairy Tale subconsciously retorted, but after a moment of hesitation, her face gradually darkened.

Chen Li's words seemed to make Tong Hua realize that something was wrong.

"Take my advice, don't get involved in the God War, run away quickly." Chen Li patted Tong Hua on the shoulder, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the forge.

Although Chen Li is currently exhausted, he can still forge a wondrous object that is as simple as it gets.

……

A moment later, Chen Li presented a bright red rose to Tong Hua.

"For me?" Tong Hua forced a smile.

"This is for Yinzhi, but you can use it for now. To establish a friendship, the other party must possess at least one rare item. I'm afraid that while I'm out having fun, you might suddenly get caught up in a divine war and die, so I'm giving you a trump card to save your life," Chen Li said.

This is the Eternal Rose.

【Forever】+【Scattered】

It only cost Chen Li 2 crystals to create this wondrous item. The rose, on the other hand, was something Chen Li had asked Fairy Tale for earlier.

Professional experience +2.

"...Would it kill you to lie to me?"

"I'm very honest, don't try to teach me to lie." Chen Li denied Fairy Tale's words while forming a friendship with Fairy Tale, who possessed the Eternal Rose.

"Alright, if anything happens in the future, just text me and I'll summon your true form to another world as soon as possible," Chen Li said.

Based on the information provided by the 20 Star Stones, even the weakest evil god is necessary for the [World].

Evil gods are attracted to each other and possess a sense of unity.

But Chen Li refused to believe that if he brought the fairy tale to another world, Guiyi's fate could still catch up with the fairy tale.

Different worlds are not the same.

Chen Li's world and the world of fairy tales share the same worldview.

Chen Li's world and the world of Honkai Impact 3... in other words, they don't even belong to the same dimension.

I'll let you chase me! You'll get your ass off!

"Then will you still forge me a wondrous artifact to slay gods?" Fairy Tale continued to ask.

Since being enlightened by Chen Li, Tong Hua seems to have understood some truth, but now she always feels that she can hardly protect herself.

Now I understand why Chen Li summoned the Miracle Shield.

"You still want to participate in the war of gods?"
