Chapter 257 Limited By The World's Resources
Since Alister wanted to be the strongest, he also had the ambition of being the jack of all trades, master of all.
It was also the reason why he didn't waste his Unparalleled Talent (Red) talent to study all of the knowledge and information available in the Zombie World. Because of that, he mastered most of the professions or jobs that the human race had developed.
In the world of Fantasia, not only was power such as mana and aura sought after, but artifacts were also one of the means to obtain power.
Although Alister didn't want to rely on external power since it wasn't as reliable as the power he had in his body, that didn't mean he wouldn't take advantage of having both internal and external power.
After all, being both a Grand Warrior and Master Mage plus wielding a powerful artifact, wouldn't that be the strongest strength possible?
Furthermore, Alister had already reached the power level limit of this world and the Sea Of Chaos could barely increase his attainment percentage of his Chaos Body.
Even if he wanted to, he could only increase his power by obtaining more powerful simulated talents. Because of that, there wasn't any much reason for him to continue training his strength in this world.
Since he also had the plan of cultivating an army, Alister wanted to forge weapons with god-slaying attributes. After all, he hadn't forgotten his plan of dominating the Transcendent World, Monster World, and Technology World.
If there was indeed a god in the Technology World as he cautiously deduced, Alister felt that it would be interesting if his army of mortals could use quantity alone to kill a god. And for that to be possible, he needed to forge weapons with god-slaying attributes.
In the world of Fantasia, there were indeed demon-slaying artifacts, dragon-slaying artifacts, and the like. However, there has yet to be a god-slaying artifact and even the dwarves who prided themselves on being the best in artifact forging dared not create a god-slaying artifact.
Not only they were incompetent and couldn't create a god-slaying artifact due to the lack of god-slaying magic or materials, but they also dared not attempt such a death-seeking project.
Not everyone was as ambitious as Alister when it came to having plans of defeating and slaying a god. Like the case in the Martial Arts Fantasy World where the Star Hall Pope dared not offend the Star God, the natives in the Magic Fantasy World also dared not offend Fantasia.
Even if they disliked the Goddess of Fantasy's favoritism towards the human race, they knew that it would be unwise to start a project of forging an artifact that had god-slaying attributes. The dwarves knew that if they had the audacity to start such an outrageous project, Fantasia would undoubtedly discover it and their race might be eliminated.
So at most, the greatest project that the dwarves had ever made was hero-slaying artifacts but they never dared to create a god-slaying artifact. Even the hero-slaying artifact was never used publicly by them and could only be used when the heroes had run rampant in the world.
Alister knew about the existence of those hero-slaying artifacts since Zanna had told him about it.
After all, Zanna had already told him about the past when a few heroes in some generations would betray the world and join the demon race. Some heroes wouldn't even join the demon race and instead, they would attack and dominate all of the races in Fantasia.
Of course, those heroes had failed as they weren't immortal compared to the demon king.
It was indeed possible to kill the heroes but it was impossible to kill a demon king unless one was a hero.
The ancestor of the dwarves had forged hero-slaying artifacts and had even used them to defeat those heroes who had become evil. However, all generations of the dwarf race had yet to forge a demon-king-slaying artifact.
It was not that they dared not create such an artifact. In fact, they all wanted to create one as having such a useful artifact would mean that they didn't have to rely on the heroes to kill the demon king.
But, they realized that it was nothing but a ridiculous idea to ever dream of creating an artifact that could slay a demon king.
The difficulty of forging a demon-king-slaying artifact was comparable to forging a god-slaying artifact. The immortality of a demon king was due to the laws of the God World and it was impossible for dwarves with limited resources and forging techniques to ever dream of forging such a powerful artifact. nOve.lb(In
If the dwarves were in the God World, they might indeed be able to develop an advanced forging technique that could create a demon-king-slaying artifact. Coupled with the resources in the God World, it wasn't impossible to do that.
Because of that, the dwarves were limited by the world's lack of resources.
Even Zanna herself had admitted that her chaos element couldn't destroy the immortality of the Demon King. Having fought several generations of Demon King before, Zanna had already given up eliminating the Demon King as she knew that it was impossible to kill such an annoying cockroach.
Nevertheless, Alister still felt that it was worth learning the artifact-forging technique of the dwarves so that he could lay a solid foundation for his artifact-forging technique.
'I don't have to necessarily copy and learn the dwarves' forging technique completely. I can just use it as an inspiration to create my own forging technique.'
'Although I don't have any simulated talent for forging artifacts, the red-grade Unparalleled Talent can still be useful in this case. After all, a red-grade talent's limit is Five-Digit supreme authority.'
'However, I would have to learn artifact forging techniques since unlike the Heavenly Sword Path talent, the Unparalleled Talent is an all-round talent and doesn't focus on a specific profession, job, or skill.'
'Even if learning artifact forging techniques wouldn't allow me to create a demon-king-slaying artifact, just learning artifact forging is already useful in the long run. If I ever visit a xianxia world or high eastern fantasy world, it will save me the trouble of learning artifact forging from scratch.'
