The shadow dissipated, and the appearance of the Dimensional Incarnation returned to that of a Furnace Man.
He looked at Richard, a bit amazed, and asked, "How did you do it?"
Richard was somewhat puzzled.
"To see through my flaws," the Dimensional Incarnation replied, "In just half a year, you saw through my weaknesses and shattered the Trial Stone in the most efficient way.
In my estimation, this battle should have lasted five years, and if your strength hadn’t reached the required level, it would have taken even longer.
Yet you only used one-tenth of the time to pass."
Richard put the hammer into his pocket, his face calm and composed.
"I merely analyzed all your moves and then identified what I deemed to be the most secure timing. Aside from that, I have no special means."
The Dimensional Incarnation was taken aback, finding it hard to believe, "You mean... you analyzed all of my moves and then found the flaws in them?
Your computational power shouldn’t be sufficient!"
The knowledge possessed by the Dimensional Incarnation was vast, so it was well aware of the range of computational power a non-limit breaking Domineer could have.
Even if Richard had now transformed his soul to the utmost, like a Spirit Evolution Dominator, analyzing these moves should have taken at least ten years.
Moreover, that would be under steady and stable analysis.
Richard’s current task was battlefield analysis, which should have significantly reduced his efficiency and exponentially increased the time required.
Richard smiled and replied, "The principles of these moves are nothing more than Rules and Power of Dimension. Regarding Rules, I have the craft of the craftsmen of the Monster World, and for Power of Dimension, I possess the corresponding skill.
Analyzing these moves isn’t really difficult for me.
Taking half a year to complete was due to my weak computational power. After this trial ends, I must enhance my computational power."
The Dimensional Incarnation knew of the Miracle Furnace’s capabilities, but upon hearing Richard’s words, it was still left in a daze.
A moment later, it regained composure, muttering, "No wonder it’s a weapon created after sacrificing three civilizations."
Since the trial was passed, the trial reward should naturally be given to Richard.
The Dimensional Incarnation walked to his melter, stretched his hand inside, and suddenly pulled out.
The next moment, a forging hammer with a wooden handle and a black stone hammer head appeared before Richard.
"Is this... the Hammer of Creation?" Richard looked at the hammer in the Dimensional Incarnation’s hand, a hint of astonishment flashing across his face.
"This looks somewhat... plain."
A civilization treasure doesn’t have to be ostentatious, but it should at least be extraordinary in grandeur. However, this hammer in front of him looked like a slightly refined stone hammer, something that would only appear in a museum or a junkyard.
The Dimensional Incarnation glanced at Richard.
"You’ve become a Domineer, yet your vision is still so superficial. Does your hammer look good?" Besides..."
The hammer in the Dimensional Incarnation’s hand suddenly shone bright, its originally plain appearance transforming into something exceptionally magnificent.
"Isn’t changing its appearance simple?"
Richard took the Hammer of Creation, and the moment it was in his hands, an ancient and wild aura invaded his soul.
In an instant, countless visions unfolded before Richard’s eyes.
On the desolate plains, giants clad in animal skins herded giant beasts against the fierce winds; in the vast ocean, creatures resembling merfolk drove schools of whales; in the boundless sky, colossal beings with wings migrated alongside flocks of birds.
This was the initial form of the Titan Civilization.
Subsequently, these giants gathered, formed alliances, waged wars, and ultimately broke through the world’s cradle, witnessing the endless starry sky.
So began a new era of herding.
The giants, riding chariots pulled by giant beasts, advanced towards the stars. Worlds became their pasture, countless World Masters were tamed as beasts, joining the herd.
As the conquered worlds increased, so did the giants’ herd, and their chariots grew ever stronger.
The giants became increasingly arrogant.
Thus, they were struck hard.
A race, also pioneering the Star Realm, delivered a crushing blow to the giants. Although smaller, they were more united than the giants, with more advanced technology.
The giants began to retreat, and the conquered worlds became enemy territories. In the end, the giants were on the brink of extinction.
Until one giant stepped forward.
This giant emerged from the giants’ homeland and, with strength and charisma, completely unified the giants.
His power surpassed that of the mightiest chieftain, his skill exceeding that of the most intricate giant craftsman. His voice was like Thunder, his body resembling a mountain; wherever he went, all giants submitted to his banner, chanting his name and great deeds.
Under his leadership, the giants stabilized the front lines and astonishingly pushed the enemies back.
The chieftains of the giants revered him as the King of Kings, all giants bowed beneath his feet.
And when he ascended to the throne, he completed his transformation, becoming the first Domineer among the giants.
Thus began the history of the Titans.
The illusion dissipated, and Richard looked at the hammer in his hand with a slightly dazed expression.
"That was history," replied the Dimensional Incarnation.
"The Hammer of Creation is the crystallization of the Titan Civilization, forged from legends and the Power of Dimension, using the civilization’s technology to create a Civilization Treasure.
Its existence signifies that the Titan Civilization once existed."
Richard shook his head to clear his mind.
He was too young, and his memory too shallow. Enduring such an inheritance always left him in a haze.
As he regained clarity, he suddenly noticed that additional information regarding the Hammer of Creation appeared in his memory.
This... seems to have been left by the former King of Titans.
[To the successor, congratulations on passing the trial and obtaining this hammer. You may rejoice for three seconds. Three, two, one, good, celebration over.]
[Now, let me tell you about the uses of this hammer.]
[This hammer is called the Hammer of Creation. Of course, you’re free to call it by another name.
It is the crystallization of the Titan Civilization. When you hold this hammer, you are the king of the Titan Race. With this hammer, you can expel any disobedient Titan from the civilization, even a Dominator.]
This is its most important ability.
Here, I give you a piece of knowledge: to reach the level of a Civilization Leader, mastering the Civilization Treasure is a necessary condition.]
Civilization Leader... Richard’s eyes turned sharp as he read this information.
To truly kill the Civilization Devourer, it’s necessary to completely unify the Alliance. But to achieve such unity, mere votes aren’t enough; he also needs absolute strength.
And reaching the level of a Civilization Leader is clearly a path he must take.
"So, to become a Civilization Leader, one must master the Civilization Treasure? No wonder the conflict between Shaping Power and Alchemy has been so peaceful all these years."
The Wizard Civilization has not nurtured a Civilization Treasure yet, so no matter how fierce the conflict, it hasn’t reached a breaking point.
[Additionally, this hammer is an excellent forging hammer. You can use this hammer to forge any artifact that has ever appeared in Titan history, and you will succeed one hundred percent. Of course, using this ability requires some Power of Dimension, but the consumption is minor, so feel free to use it.]
Reading this, Richard was momentarily stunned.
One hundred percent success? And for any artifact in Titan history?
This defies the heavens?
Frankly speaking, the Dominator Weapons of the Titan Civilization are among the best in the Predecessor Civilization Alliance. After all, not every civilization has a Dominator personally adjusting requirements, updating plans, and owning tens of thousands, to even a hundred thousand years of forging experience.
And now, Richard only needs to expend Power of Dimension to easily transform raw materials directly into weapons.
Moreover, the Titans are not yet extinct.
In other words, anything he forges now, upon completion, becomes part of Titan history.
This means he only needs to make something once. In the future, creating it again would mean certain success.
"Is this the ability of a Civilization Treasure? Truly astonishing," Richard muttered to himself.
But the message from the King of Titans wasn’t over.
[Of course, if you insist on using it as a weapon, it can be a makeshift weapon. This hammer can transform into any weapon from Titan history, and no non-Civilization Treasure can damage it. (Except my hammer.)
Secondly, it also possesses an ability called Creation. By injecting Power of Dimension, you can forcibly alter the rules of a domain, a world, or even a dimension. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel[f]ire.net
This ability can be applied to your Dimensional Authority, temporarily breaking through the limits of your power. If your Dimensional Authority is a restricted ability like probability manipulation, you’ll be in great profit. But if your authority is like mine, inherently unlimited, just use it as an environmental reshaper.]
At this point, Richard was rendered speechless.
Breaking through the limits of authority, and even using probability manipulation as an example. This hammer seems tailor-made for him.
Richard dared not imagine how powerful he would be if he could manipulate probability without limits.
There are few things in this world with a one hundred percent probability. If he could surpass the restrictions, even minute probabilities could be considered near-certain.
In battle, this would mean his opponent would always err, while he would always perform exceptionally.
However, after his excitement, Richard quickly realized that unlimited manipulation of probability was nearly impossible.
The Hammer of Creation can break through the limits of power, but it requires Power of Dimension to do so. Such a formidable ability surely consumes a vast amount of Power of Dimension.
Even if he became a Civilization Leader, this ability would likely not be used frequently.
But, in a battle where a single move determines life or death, using it at the most crucial moment would be enough to change the outcome.
The introduction from the King of Titans about the Hammer of Creation concluded, and Richard, looking at the hammer in his hand, felt that the unadorned hammer exuded a magnificent aura.
"Why didn’t I see it earlier? This hammer truly looks flawless, worthy of a Civilization Treasure."
Next to him, the Dimensional Incarnation, having seen Richard’s understanding of the Hammer of Creation, suddenly spoke: "You’ve completed two of the three trials. Do you wish to attempt the final trial?"
Richard placed the Hammer of Creation into his pocket, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
"Of course. I want to see how painful this trial of the Supreme is."
