Chapter 997 Uller's Upgrade
-----
"And its done!"
Rakasha quickly gave me Uller back, as I inspected his change of appearance, and indeed, he had changed more than I had ever expected. His blade suddenly turned from its former silver and blue color to a black color, as he seemed to be emanating a large quantity of not only ice, but darkness.
His blade looked beautifully refined, with a very metallic feeling to it. The handle had several red and purple jewels, which included a large red and purple jewel. Such jewels materialized from the fragments of materials we got from Ragnar?k's corpse, which I handed to Rakasha.
Now that he's a God, he can resist the miasma seeping from such materials by coating his hands with his Divine Power and managed to merge such materials into Uller. That was a part of my suggestion, I didn't wanted Uller to just be "Skadi but a sword" and wanted him to gain his own identity.
I had considered wind as his new element before, but we lacked enough high-quality materials, so I went for darkness. The handle even had a dragon head made of black metal resembling Ragnar?k's head roaring; it was very cool.
As a Dragon of Darkness, a weapon that can channel that Dark Divinity of mine is essential. Amongst the things I've learned from talking with Belle and later with the Frost Queen was that Divine Weapons are essential for gods as much as normal magic weapons are for mortals.
With Divine Weapons, gods are able to unleash their truest potential by channeling their divine abilities, divinities, and divine power into them. In a way, Divine Weapons are like a special tool that can channel our strongest power and let it out multiplied in power even more.
"Only foolish gods that have a death wish wield no divine weapons" or so said the Frost Queen back then when she told me and everyone to take some divine weapons she had for spare in her own storage. Although there are not that many gods in this world, being less than a hundred, apparently, they all probably got a big advantage than us, and there's millions of divine monsters, those monsters above Rank 7, which are also a big threat, maybe bigger than most gods.
If we want to explore the world, we'll have to fight and defeat many monsters that'll get in our way, especially these strong ones that often appear around Inheritances due to the high density of divine power around such areas… And because of wanting to prepare for this dangerous and uncertain future, I want to cover as many elements as I can…
I might end up creating more weapons in the future, or perhaps equipment that can channel my other elements. Although it would also be nice if I can get more decent dropped items from Dream Dungeons, but making the seeds is super expensive, so I doubt I'll be making them around anywhere I want.
Especially because they seem to not only be able to be created in special areas which have insane amounts of divine power and some sort of "ancient history" or "memories" where a dream can be born… so yeah, I can't go willy-nilly and get divine equipment literally anywhere. The dungeon inside my own divine realm is prob the only one I can make here.
Nonetheless, what Rakasha did is amazing. The sword reminded me of the "Dragon Slayer" that Guts, the protagonist of Berserk wielded, it was even black colored now, so it was even more fitting! Well, I made Uller thinking about that weapon in specific, I can't believe I had finally reached the point where he looks a lot like it.

{Description}
A powerful Divine Longsword forged from Divine Ice which had been enhanced with several types of materials and the scales, horns, and fangs of a powerful Divine Dragon of Ice and the materials of the Legendary Chaos Dragon, Ragnar?k. Although it was incapable of channeling the power of Miasma or Chaos, it has channeled the power of Eternal Night. Now enhanced with the power of a God of Forging, it had awakened its truest potential. It can grow even stronger by being forged with rarer and compatible materials such as Ores and Monster Bones.

Uller not only gained similar abilities to Skadi but fully compromising his element to darkness and shadows, but he also gained a unique ability different than that of Skadi. Instead of being able to drain Vitality and Mana like she can, he drains it away from me, but in exchange, he gives me more power every minute. If I combine Uller's talents with Skadi's talents, wouldn't the two of them complement each other amazingly well?
"Uller, you've become amazing now!" I said.
Uller began floating around, emanating an aura of deep darkness.
"I can tell, master!" He said, flying around with extreme swiftness. "However, I am sorry, I seem to not be able to channel the power of miasma and chaos…"
