The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

But if one person is responsible for suppressing their own abilities while another person attacks them, then they are doomed.

Logically speaking, the Herrscher of the Void should run away now, but she is extremely uneasy about Chen Li, who can suppress her abilities.

"Plan failed, split up and retreat!" Just as the Herrscher of the Void hesitated, the two who were originally huddled together shouted and then immediately ran away in different directions.

"Huh?" The Herrscher of the Void was somewhat confused.

Although Chen Li was unable to suppress his abilities after he left a certain distance, and the other party indeed had no chance to kill him, was it a bit hasty to run away so decisively?

Despite her many doubts, the Herrscher of the Void couldn't suppress her murderous intent towards Chen Li. She mobilized most of the Honkai Beasts in the entire city to chase after Alicia, while she herself led hundreds of Honkai Beasts to chase after Chen Li.

The Herrscher of the Void has seen many humans, but she has only ever seen one human who can control their abilities.

Now that the opponent has separated from their companion, it's the perfect time to eliminate them.

The Herrscher of the Void won't be able to sleep until this person dies!

One hundred Honkai Beasts would be enough to crush the opponent.

Chen Li wasn't running very fast, so he was quickly surrounded by the Honkai Beasts.

But Chen Li, surrounded by Honkai Beasts, remained completely calm.

"You just asked me what I was waiting for, right? I was waiting for the cooldown!" Chen Li looked up at the Herrscher of the Void in the air.

Countless enormous shadows loomed over Chen Li!

But when the Herrscher of the Void commanded the Honkai Beasts to scatter and check if Chen Li had been successfully killed, what came into view was Chen Li being firmly protected by a circular shield about five meters in diameter.

In front of Chen Li was a hammer and a forging platform.

[Miracle Forging Table]

"Phew..." Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After gaining the power of miracles by chasing after the Herrscher of the Void, Chen Li, as a craftsman of artifacts, was able to forge artifacts.

But Chen Li was also waiting to accumulate more spacetime energy (star stones).

Chen Li discovered that when he did something that deviated from the original timeline of destiny (such as beating up the Herrscher of the Void), his Star Stones could be replenished quickly.

This shield was created to prevent blacksmiths from being disturbed while forging artifacts; it's the same shield that the little elf [Miracle] used to trap Chen Li.

The Miracle Shield will not break until the attack power exceeds a certain limit.

At least these Herrschers and Honkai Beasts in front of us cannot break through the upper limit.

Ignoring the enraged Herrscher of the Void, Chen Li took out the only two relics he possessed.

【A Call to the Distant Land】 and 【The Knight's Broken Sword】.

Although the difference in worldviews greatly diminishes the effectiveness of these two relics, they are indeed excellent materials.

The first true forging of a rare artifact... begins!

Although two items can be combined and hammered together with a suitable amount of miracle power to form a wondrous object, the effect is not as controllable as refined forging.

Therefore, Chen Li chose to operate manually.

Two blue crystals appeared in Chen Li's hand; these were the crystals formed from the condensation of the power of miracles.

Chen Li's description of it as "crystal" is not without reason.

Two crystals were thrown into the entrance next to the forging platform, and a miraculous fire suddenly ignited on the originally flat forging platform.

Chen Li threw the two relics into the flames. As time passed, the relics gradually dimmed, and soon, countless characters of varying brightness rose from the flames.

[Knight], [Call], [Forced Trade], [Justice], [Price], [Communication], [Heroic Spirit], [Return]...

These are the original characters that represent the essence of the two relics.

They are now waiting for Chen Li to make a choice. Only the words chosen by Chen Li will be forged into [entries]. Those not chosen are not worth using the power of miracles to materialize, and their final destination will be the recycling station of the forging platform.

The essence of refining entries is to bring these original texts closer to the realm of rules through the "power of miracles," so it is necessary to ignite the fire of miracles.

These terms can have positive, negative, or neutral effects, and the brightness of a term indicates its priority.

The most striking example is the difference between "guaranteed to win" and "guaranteed to win".

Some things are guaranteed to hit, while others can be avoided with enough luck and skill... You agree, right, Cú Chulainn?

The brilliance of an entry is determined by two factors: the quality of the medium that provides the entry and the significance bestowed upon it by time and fate.

The dimmer the entry's brightness, the worse the effect. Although you can use Miracle Fire to increase the entry's brightness, it is extremely expensive.

Chen Li's current task is to select suitable entries, combine them, and forge a miraculous item.

Chen Li didn't have a lot of crystals, but the good news was that these two relics themselves possessed a power of rules, so they only needed to be modified to be usable, and the amount of Miracle Flame consumed would be greatly reduced.

This is another major source of Miracle Fire consumption, besides adjusting the brightness of the entry.

In general, the worse the quality of the forging material, the higher the cost of creating a "miracle".

Miracles are never free.

For the vessel, Chen Li chose the somewhat decayed [Knight's Broken Sword].

Having already figured out how to forge this extraordinary object, Chen Li quickly gathered the necessary entries, then picked up the Miracle Forging Hammer and began to "forge" them, turning these original characters into real entries and forging them into the vessel.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

The melodious and pleasant sound of hammering echoed throughout the ruins.

PS: Since this is the first time the crafting of rare items has appeared, the crystal consumption in the next chapter will be described in more detail, but it won't take many words.

Chapter 6 I admit, the pure and beautiful goddess Idrila is unparalleled in beauty!

A sharp blade gleaming with a cold light was placed in front of Chen Li, and the evaluation and notes of this rare item in the Forging Guide to Rare Items surprised Chen Li even more.

【Pale Justice】: When you use this artifact, you can resonate with it through words. A knight who responds to your ideals or is moved by it will appear as a projection beside you to fight for your shared ideals and beliefs. After the battle, the knight has the right to ask you to do something that is not unreasonable, which you can call "the knight's training".

P.S.: Besides saying nice things, swearing can also arouse a knight's "desire." You can try it if you're not afraid of death.

(Miracle: Uh, it's a little abrupt... but, Master, did you miss me? Although it's a bit strange that we can only communicate with you through notes for the time being, it's better than disappearing completely.)

As for whether I am one of the more features you can unlock after your Oddity Forger reaches level 10... I don't know.

Also, remember to do the beginner quests after the fight! They're part of the "[Forging the Miracle System into a Guide to Forging Rare Items]" miracle, and also the Miracle System's final gift.

“Emmm…” Chen Li’s expression was somewhat complicated when he saw this note.

What is this? An elf that can only exist in the notes?

The final effect of this strange object was similar to Chen Li's initial expectations.

However, Chen Li's original plan was to summon knights from this world, but now it has become summoning knights from any world.

The enhanced effect may be related to the buff in the Oddity Forging Guide that "the brightness of the attribute is additionally increased when forging an Oddity for the first time".

To forge such a powerful artifact in the future, it will probably require even more crystals.

When forging this extraordinary artifact, Chen Li removed most of the side effects of the two relics, but retained some. This was not Chen Li's intention, as it was also part of the "reasonable configuration."

Do you want a magical item that has only positive effects and no negative effects at all?

Sure, as long as you have enough crystals.

But Chen Li did not.

The attributes for configuring rare items are like adding or subtracting points, and are similar to the "costs" in some turn-based games.

You start with a 10-point allocation (fee). Choosing positive keywords will deduct points, but choosing negative keywords will actually add points.

Everything in this world involves give and take. Only miracles can change things.

Using more crystals can increase the initial allocation.

陈离触发第1次“奇遇”获得奇迹卡，得到了30水晶，但第1次构筑净化空间花了10水晶。（余额20）

Chen Li just chased after the Herrscher of the Void, obtaining a Miracle Card and 15 Crystals. (Balance: 35)

Igniting the Miracle Flame costs 2 crystals, and maintaining it costs another 4 crystals. Maintaining the Miracle Shield also costs 1 crystal... (Balance: 28)

With only 28 crystals left, Chen Li had no choice but to incur some side effects in order to prevent his crystals from running out quickly.

It cost 20 crystals to increase the initial limit of this artifact by 20, and then another 3 crystals to store three attributes: [Heroic Spirit] and [Exchange] from the Knight's Broken Sword, and [Forced Trade] from the Conch Shell. (Balance: 5)

Entries can be stored, but not all entries are worth storing.

However, almost all the entries in these two relics are "Golden Legends," and the Miracle Flame required to modify these entries is extremely rare, so they really can't be wasted.

Other unsaved entries will not be wasted; they will be stored in the recycle bin and allowed to decompose and merge on their own.

Take a look now and then; you might be pleasantly surprised.

With an initial quota of 30, the affixes consumed a total of 28, and Chen Li used the remaining 2 quotas (equivalent to 2 crystals) to correct the Knight's broken sword in terms of [sharpness] and [toughness].

Therefore, the original, rather wide half of the knight's sword was reforged into a complete, longer longsword, which was more convenient for Chen Li to handle.
