Chapter 341: 341

Ibro looked with disbelief towards all of his rewards. He didn't believe he could get an auxiliary divine ability that would augment his blacksmith function. Ibro didn't hesitate to issue an order for the system:

'I want to learn the two secrets now.'

'That's fine, but your SPR orbs will be decreased by a big cut,' the system replied with a teasing tone that Ibro neglected. Ibro replied:

'I don't care. I want to try out this function now.'

'As you wish. You learned the two secrets. You can now start using them.'

Ibro then thought about what to build. He already had a blueprint of a weapon. He immediately said:

'View the ultimate weapon blueprint.'

'The ultimate weapon blueprint: a blueprint of the ultimate rank. You can use it to make an ultimate weapon.'

Ibro began to read the info of this blueprint. He was surprised to find out he could make a changeable weapon. This blueprint described the steps of making 10 grades of the same weapon. 

The highest rank weapon described here can be used as a sword, double swords, a staff, a stick, a spear, a double spear, and a shield. That was an insane weapon that Ibro never heard of. 

Ibro was sure this weapon would enhance his fighting abilities massively. The problem here was the materials needed to manufacture it. Ibro didn't recognize a single item from them.

'Can you help me out with these items?'

'What is wrong with these items?'

Ibro sighed before saying with shame:

'I know nothing about any of them.'

The system stopped for a moment before replying:

'I can provide you with help here. I have a database related to the materials known in human history. I can always search for these materials all around you, but this will cost you some orbs.'

Ibro sighed, this system never let go of a single chance to gain orbs. Ibro didn't complain, though, as the system always helped him in dire situations.

'Fine, but I want you to search for all the materials I can use in blacksmithing. Don't focus mainly on the list here only.'

'If so, then you have some materials around you. Do you wish to gain them? They aren't included in your list, though.'

Ibro's interest was piqued at once, but he had to do something else for now. So, he said:

'First, let's go through this pocket space.'

The system got what Ibro meant, so it said:

'Are you worried you got a fiend seed?'

Ibro recalled his recent battle with Gorat. This fiend had stressed over the fact that most of the system holders were already infected. Ibro didn't exclude himself from this. 

If he was infected with Gorat seed, then this Gorat would have become more powerful than Maya's Gorat. 

After all, Ibro had already gone realms beyond Maya in terms of energy. He also gained endless amounts of demon energy inside him.

'I have to be careful. All my enemy needs are just a tiny careless mistake and he will kill me. I need to make sure I don't carry any Gorat seed.'

'…'

The system went silent for a while before it talked again:

'I checked again, there is nothing wrong with you.'

Ibro argued back:

'Your assessment is unreliable. Did you forget you couldn't find anything wrong at Maya at first? We need to enter that pocket space first and there you can assess the situation better.'

'Fine,' the system replied with some hints of annoyance in its voice, 'Be ready, I will start establishing your pocket space now.'

Ibro waited for a bit while his mind was recalling all the info related to this pocket space. According to the data provided in its description, Ibro could have more than one pocket space at the same time. 

Being able to acquire this pocket space like the one Maya had was a strange coincidence, or maybe it wasn't a coincidence at all. Ibro's wait didn't last long, as he felt turbulence in his soul sea. 

When he tried to sense his soul sea, he found a small space lying quietly there. It was miraculously similar to Maya's pocket space.

'I will move you inside now. Be ready, if you hold a seed then it's still in its infancy stage. 

There will be no danger for me for now, but we need to act fast. I can't guarantee it would evolve rapidly by the intensity of your soul energy.'

Ibro knew the system worries weren't groundless. This fiend might have a way to connect to the demon world. 

Ibro didn't like the presence of uncontrolled variables, so he didn't refuse the system arrangements. 

Immediately, Ibro felt the traction force as he entered his pocket space. Ibro appeared in a huge world that was similar to Maya's world.

'You need to decide the nature of this world.'

Ibro asked back:

'I won't decide it for now; I need you first to check the world for any fiend presence.'

The system replied after a moment of delay:

'I checked, there is nothing wrong here. This world is still in the preparation phase. So, if the seed is here, it won't be activated now. 

You need to decide the nature of the world and then the world building will be completed.'

Ibro contemplated for a second about this fact. If this was the issue here, then he should use this period to prepare first. 

But he had a problem here. Back then, he used Maya as a demon provider, but now he couldn't do both tasks at the same time.

'I want to start building my bomb first before finishing this world. To do so, I need massive amounts of demons. What do you think?'

The system replied at once:

'This is a simple problem that I can help solve. You need to go to a place full of demons, then you enter here. I will take the role of moving these demons here through your divine sense.'

'Seems logical to me, fine let's do it,' Ibro replied after a moment of thought about this suggestion. Ibro then felt a traction force again as he left the world and returned to his city. Ibro didn't lag behind as he ordered:

"Erond, you will take responsibility here. Keep sending my armies of skeletons to the worlds we just connected to. 

Also, keep supplying the beta stones to them. The more NPCs and players we obtain there the better. I will go to do something important first then come back here again.'

Erond replied with respect:

"What will happen if some new worlds ask to be connected with us?"

Ibro thought of this possibility. Erond had a point here; there were still many players from different worlds under his control. If those players offered help, the backlash from the demons would be repeated. Ibro then decided:

"Postpone any request till I come back here. I need to supervise this process myself."

"I will head by your orders, my king," Erond knew that without Ibro, no one could stop the demons ambush against their armies. Ibro then moved outside the city. 

On his way, he sent orders via his telepathy to his alpha death knight. He ordered him to never stop summoning skeletons. He also ordered him to patrol the whole region and kill any demons near this city. 

This city had turned into his stronghold in the south. Ibro would use it as a base to launch his future attacks on the southern empire. This war would be near, as Ibro guessed the schemes demons had in this world.
