As a race born for war, the Archangel showed little reaction to the deaths of his kin. He simply recognized that this would be an exceptionally brutal battle.

He deflected the incoming magic weapons, his expression cold as he pointed his blade at Caelum.

"Counterattack!"

"Yes!"

The surviving angels launched their assault.

Blessed by the God of Sky, the angel race possessed overwhelming combat power.

At a glance, there were no fewer than ten angels at Tier 10, and over a hundred at Tier 9. The scale alone was terrifying.

Those who had survived the earlier barrage were no ordinary warriors. Instant Super Tier Magic was basic for them. Their true strength lay in World Tier Magic.

And every single one of them could cast it instantly.

On that alone, the angel race could be called the ultimate war species.

"Heretic, you will die here!"

A massive magic circle spread as the Archangel raised his sword. A divine aura surged outward, locking onto Caelum.

Without question, this was Divine Tier Magic.

Light flared everywhere as the angels surrounded Caelum with relentless attacks.

In response, he simply raised a shield.

Unbreakable Shield

Type: Armor, Shield

Traits: Indestructible

Skill: Single use Divine Tier Magic Unbreakable Shield grants the wielder near absolute defense for three minutes

Boom boom boom!

Hundreds of Super Tier and World Tier attacks crashed into him, yet all were blocked by an invisible barrier.

No matter how frenzied the angels’ assault became, Caelum did not move an inch.

The angels were stunned.

"That shield..."

"Our attacks aren’t working at all?!"

"How many magic items does this guy even have?!"

Caelum had no interest in dragging things out.

He reached into Infinite Arsenal and pulled out a long crimson spear, then hurled it skyward.

Gift of Death

Type: Weapon, Spear

Trait: Piercing

Skill: Single use Divine Tier Magic Gift of Death grants death to all who defy it

In the next instant, crimson streaks rained down from above.

Too fast to evade.

Hundreds of spears pierced through angel after angel, pinning them to the ground.

The instant death effect triggered.

They died immediately.

The scene was devastating.

In the blink of an eye, only the Archangel remained.

At last, his Divine Tier Magic was complete.

Facing an enemy capable of instant casting Divine Tier spells repeatedly, he knew there was no chance of victory.

Even so, he showed no fear.

He raised his sword and declared with authority,

"To die in battle is our greatest honor. I pass judgment upon you in the name of the divine Sky Judgment!"

But before the spell could descend

Fatebreaker Wheel reversed once.

The Archangel’s hard-earned Divine Tier Magic dissipated instantly.

Sky Judgment vanished before it could even manifest.

A sword shot forward and struck him dead center.

Boom!

The impact sent him flying.

When the dust settled, he knelt on one knee, a sword piercing his chest.

Dead.

And just like that

the angel race was annihilated.

Caelum showed no emotion.

He opened Infinite Arsenal and collected every corpse, every weapon, leaving nothing behind.

"Job done."

Begin forging

Forging complete

The rewards from this battle were immense.

Lower tier equipment was too numerous to count.

Over a thousand Divine Tier items.

One hundred and twenty Primordial Tier items.

Most importantly, the eleven Tier 10 angels including the Archangel were forged into fifteen Cosmic Domain Tier items.

Fifteen.

Even Caelum, who had expected a big gain, felt a surge of excitement.

These items stood far above Primordial Tier.

Their power was beyond imagination.

Almost every one rivaled Return of Death.

Tenfold Edict

Type: Item, Tablet

Trait: None

Skill: Single use passive Cosmic Domain Magic Tenfold Edict grants ten layers of defense, each unbreakable by anything below Cosmic Domain level

Edict of Five

Type: Item, Ring

Trait: Durable

Skill: Single use passive Cosmic Domain Magic Edict of Five grants five resurrections upon death, cannot be interrupted or removed by anything below Cosmic Domain level

Day of End

Type: Item, Emblem

Quantity: 5

Trait: Indestructible

Skill: Single use Cosmic Domain Magic Day of End allows the next magic attack against a chosen target to be elevated to Cosmic Domain Tier

Day of End consisted of five matching emblems, which Caelum treated as a single set.

Just these three items alone dramatically increased his confidence.

Tenfold Edict could block nearly anything.

Day of End could eliminate any enemy.

And even if something went wrong, Edict of Five would bring him back five times.

The sense of security was overwhelming.

As for gathering information, he now had this.

Mirror of Perfection

Type: Item, Mirror

Trait: Trace of Perfection

Skill: Single use Cosmic Domain Magic Mirror World reverses reality and swaps it with the mirrored world

This mirror could reflect the state of the world and record all traces within it.

Its skill was not particularly useful.

But its trait was extraordinary.

As long as Caelum willed it, the mirror would reveal anything in the world he wished to see.

Presented through both images and recorded data.

With it, he gained complete awareness of everything.

Even the movements of the gods were laid bare before him at all times.

His method was simple.

Search.

Gather.

Reforge.

After Realm Convergence, the world had become vast beyond measure. With millions of years of accumulation, high tier equipment was scattered everywhere.

The total number was staggering.

Whenever the opportunity arose, he did not hesitate to strike.

Many powerful races devoted to the gods were wiped out, all turned into resources for Infinite Arsenal.

Before long, his stockpile surged again.

Divine Tier items surpassed fifty thousand.

Primordial Tier reached five thousand.

And Cosmic Domain items climbed to an astonishing six hundred.
