The Online Craftsmaster 98 Forced Evolution

"You rang...?" and male voice said with a slight chuckle as a beam of light was falling through the roof of the Demon Lord Castle. The G.o.d of Light Balian emerged from it and waved his hand stopping the pain John was feeling. Balian moved his hands and a mirror appeared, John went close to it and looked at himself. He seemed to have grown slightly also his muscles that were big to begin with were now like leather pulled over steel. They have grown in size and in density and John could feel the raw power that he wasn't used to, in them.

He continued looking at himself but other than the obvious changes he saw at first there was only one other thing that he noticed, he now had a softer silver gleam s.h.i.+ning from his eyes. John was still observing his character when Balian suddenly said with a chuckle: "How do you feel as a new DemiG.o.d?"

John answered in a daze: "...Yeah...I feel good..." But before John could calm down completely he jumped in fright when a piece of paper emerged before his eyes and went up in flames. Balian chuckled once again saying: " Don't be scared that was just our Contract we signed the last time we met in person. It was invalidated as you yourself called for me as the only clause of the contract that no G.o.d would bother one of your blood."

But suddenly the look on Balians face changed, he said: "Be careful in the future! I can't tell you the details as G.o.ds are not supposed to meddle with the world of the mortals too much but there will soon be a devastating war! Corruption befell one of our own and soon you may have to fight against a fallen and deranged G.o.d." John saw the face that balian made and he took his advice seriously and waved after the G.o.d of light as he vanished as he came, in a pillar of light.

John was still thinking about what just happened when he looked at the notifications.

[Forced Evolution Start...a.s.sistance in Evolution detected...Evolution finished]

[You have reached the rank of a DemiG.o.d]

[Hidden Quest "Final Ascension" unlocked]

DemiG.o.d

A being that even though it is not immortal, its existence is still nearer to a G.o.d than a Mortal. The DemiG.o.d is able to use tiny amounts of Holy Power and faith to fuel his abilities in his specific area of expertise. The Area of Expertise is determined after the newly born demiG.o.d got used to his new existence.

[Because of the Evolution of the Owner two new Dungeon floors were added to the Mausoleum of t.i.tans]

John was surprised when he read the last notification but also happy as he finally could craft some more new things...

While John was thinking about his dungeon floors, Ullr tried the dungeon once again, he still was stuck on the third floor even though he tried for weeks to clear it. He brought Potions, enough arrows and all of his equipment was just repaired before he entered the dungeon.

After all these attempts to clear this floor Ullr knew that he had to kill nearly every Automata before the Boss was emerging. The only thing that was bothering Ullr was that the boss seemed to change every time he saw him. Ullr ran into the room filled with sc.r.a.p with his bow fully drawn and as soon as he saw the first movement he let go of the arrow and watched it flying while pulling out the next arrow out of his quiver.

The Arrow flew through the air hitting a poor Sc.r.a.pling with two Hammers as hands that it dragged behind itself as they were to big and heavy to be used by that Sc.r.a.pling. But soon Arrows started flying rapidly as more and more Automata´s emerged from the piles of Sc.r.a.p. Ullr even managed to hit a slightly damaged Smithing bot and the amounts of Bots he had fight visibly became less and less.

When Ullrs quiver was empty Ullr pulled out a small Handax and cut of the Leather strap holding the quiver while smas.h.i.+ng another Robot in the same swing of the ax. In the small break this maneuver got him he threw the Ax at the nearest robot crus.h.i.+ng its metal skull while pulling out a new full quiver and throwing it over his shoulder.

Ullr threw himself on the ground performing a Roll while pulling out three new Arrows which he fired in quick succession. The first and second arrow knocked a s.h.i.+eld out of the hand of a Robot while the third arrow smashed its Mana Crystal.

Ullr killed several more Robots and even some more Smithing Bots and soon the Flood of Automatas stopped giving Ullr time to take a deep breath when suddenly a Behemoth out of all kinds of metal emerged behind him with screeching metal parts. Ullr turned around and smirked and exchanged his nearly empty quiver with a new one. The behemoth grabbed several pieces of sc.r.a.p crushed them and threw them after Ullr, he could evade most of them but there were still some places that he had blood flowing from.

Ullr ignored it and planted an arrow were a person's heart would be but nothing happened, unfortunately he could bring his bow to a full draw as he still he to evade every attack that was pointed at him so he tried just fire of as much arrows as he could. Even though most of the arrows didnt do a thing and glanced of, there were still some that dealt damage. Some arrows chipped of small pieces and Ullr was especially surprised when an arrow hit something like a Silver thread and half of an Arm suddenly fell of the behemoth.

At first Ullr didn't know what happened but after it happened again he understood that he had to hit these threads. But before he could use his new strategy one of his arrows. .h.i.t a small tank the Behemoth was throwing after him and it exploded and released a splash of white thick substance.

Ullr could not evade it in time and was. .h.i.t and bathed in this substance, at first nothing happened Ullr drank an Antidote to be safe but it was no poison. Ullr then saw how the behemoth threw a punch with a giant fist at him and wanted to evade but he couldn't move anymore. "Sh*** it's glue..." Ullr cursed before the giant fist mashed him into meat paste...

...Ullr once again woke up in the Temple only to be surprised as the Pedestals that symbolised the G.o.ds of this place changed drastically since he was here last time. Now three of five pedestals had something on them, the second from the right showed a big silhouette of a person but it was still lacking to much details. The second from the left showed a woman with growings of her back that looked like wings she was more detailed than the other pedestal but you still couldn't recognize anything else.

But what Ullr was surprising the most was the Pedestal showing the main G.o.d of this temple, it was situated right in the middle and showed a Muscular Man holding up a big piece of metal. Also there was a small highly detailed Sc.r.a.pling sitting to his feet. Ullr was surprised as the small Robot was more detailed than the big man and just as Ullr wanted to turn around to leave he saw a movement on the pedestal.

Ullr was shocked when he observed an old man offering a small piece of metal to the altar when suddenly the small Robot to the feet of the G.o.d came to life and bowed down to pick the piece of metal up and let it vanish before becoming unmoving metal again.

Ullr couldn't believe his eyes and walked up to the pedestal and looked closely at the small robot only to discover that it was indeed a part of the pedestal and should not be able to move. But he was still curious, he pulled out a piece of sc.r.a.p metal he had and held it up to offer it to the Pedestal. The robot once again came to life picked up the Metal and put it away. Ullr was startled when he got a notification that he was blessed.

[Blessing of Sc.r.a.p]

Duration 2 Hours

Your generous offer of Sc.r.a.p was appreciated. Wind affinity up by 10%! Sc.r.a.p metal near you start to glow slightly.

Ullr couldn't believe it Buffs through offerings were not common actually that was the first place were this was even a possibility. And Ullr was especially happy as the Wind affinity makes his Bow stronger so he decided to come here often to offer some metal...
