The voting event remains. As for the chap I owe you guys, I haven't been able to upload to webnovel, like I have the chaps of the week already in webnovel, but creating/adding more to the draft section it's not working. So, until I fix it, I will let the auto update keep the schedule I set. I rather avoid until I find a fix getting out of chaps in the webnovel draft section.

I should however fix that today. I think it's just browser error. Will let you guys know how everything works out. With love, corn.

————————————————————————————

Once I reached the hypergiant's core, I started to craft random things, to increase my crafting level as much as possible, which was remarkably easy to do, considering I had a crafting EXP bonus of around +2000% EXP.

Each miscellaneous item or weapon gave me around twenty levels or so, and seeing as I was able to craft at least five weapons per minute, I was getting around one hundred crafting levels a minute.

I continued doing this for thirty minutes or so, reaching a point where crafting wasn't giving me that many levels, considering this an appropriate point to shift my focus back to my original goal, crafting my weapon.

"Let's fucking do this!" I said, pumping myself up, as I took my ingredients out, in the following order, [The Fragment of the Universe], [The Reality Stone], [The Time Stone], [The Power Stone], [The Mind Stone], [The Soul Stone], and [The Space Stone] placing them in front of me, extending my protective coat to them to a lesser extent, letting them heat up until they could be worked out.

When everything was sufficiently hot, I poured my energy into the materials, feeling the pullback the stones were giving, fighting against their reshaping and alteration of motive. 

The entire process of giving the stones a new purpose was demanding in every sense of the word, I wanted them to keep their realms, but I also wanted to change them, to make out of them something new, and that very intent was a feat impossibly hard to achieve.

Not because it required a lot of power, which it did, but because it required total concentration, even the slightest mistake could result in the end of all life, it was a struggle of power, of me reshaping them, while also containing them, a constant pull for control, between me and the fundamental forces that ruled this universe.

In fact, the very skills that represented those forces were leveling up because of this struggle.

[Fundamental Force: Strong Force. Has leveled up!]

[Fundamental Force: Weak Force. Has leveled up!]

[Fundamental Force: Electromagnetic Force. Has leveled up!]

[Fundamental Force: Gravitational Force. Has leveled up!]

[Fundamental Force: Strong Force. Has leveled up x2!]

[Fundamental Force: Weak Force. Has leveled up x2!]

[Fundamental Force: Electromagnetic Force. Has leveled up x2!]

[Fundamental Force: Gravitational Force. Has leveled up x2!]

[Fundamental Force: Strong Force. Has leveled up x14!]

[Fundamental Force: Weak Force. Has leveled up x14!]

[Fundamental Force: Electromagnetic Force. Has leveled up x14!]

[Fundamental Force: Gravitational Force. Has leveled up x14!]

[Fundamental Force: Strong Force. Has leveled up x11!]

[Fundamental Force: Weak Force. Has leveled up x11!]

[Fundamental Force: Electromagnetic Force. Has leveled up x11!]

[Fundamental Force: Gravitational Force. Has leveled up x11!]

A lot, they were leveling a lot, to the point I had turned my skill notifications down.

I continued doing this, for an hour or so, until the stones and the fragment finally gave in to my intent, my desire, all of them mixing together into a singular substance.

Now it was time to shape it all.

Using a hammer made out of energy, I began pounding on the combined substance of my materials, slowly shaping the entire thing together into one. I continued doing this for another good hour, with my protective coating losing its power more and more, the heat of the start burning me with each passing second as my MP and HP neared critical levels, to which I used some of my potions to level things out back to an acceptable range, as I continued pounding.

Once I was satisfied with the mixture, I dissipated the hammer, extending both of my hands towards the substance, before beginning to pour once again my energy into it. Intent clear in mind.

A weapon to protect my dreams.

A weapon to negate that which threatens what I love.

A weapon nobody but me could use.

A weapon like me, selfish, caring, and able to grow.

Then, almost as if answering to my wishes, a blinding burst of light engulfed the entire area, swallowing the hypergiant and more.

[Quest completed! = The Weapon of A God!

With war drawing closer, you can feel the darkness lurking at every corner, as you feel the weight of everyone's lives lay upon your shoulders, it is more than clear you need a weapon worthy of a God, to guide those who oppose the old order of things. 

A weapon capable of opposing the god-killing monstrosity that is All-Black, Knull's weapon, a weapon specifically forged to slay divine beings.

Objectives = Craft a weapon of unmatched power using the fragment of cosmos within your possession.

Hidden Objectives = Use the Infinity Stones as materials.

Rewards = The Weapon of A Singularity, Ring of Miracles.

Hidden Rewards = Essence of Destruction and Death x10.]

[A new weapon has been crafted.]

[Serenity - The Weapon of Rejection and Dreams.

Item Class = Unique.

A weapon crafted in the heart of a hypergiant, born in the flames of conviction, and shaped by the dreams and hopes of a man.

This weapon holds two unique special powers.

Negation - ACTIVE - LV 1 = The power to negate a reality that you can't accept. With enough mastery over this power, the wielder of this weapon can achieve supernatural feats such as, rejecting aspects of reality. With this, the user can become indestructible by denying physical damage, or alter reality by denying the laws of physics, and even become immortal by denying death/aging.

Dreams of Aspiration - ACTIVE/PASSIVE - LV 1 = The power to create a path to your dreams. With enough mastery over this power, the user of this weapon can manipulate probability, meaning the user could alter how likely an event is to occur. Making unlikely things occur more often or instantly and preventing liable events from ever happening. Giving the user the ability to cause and prevent both good and bad luck, sudden deaths, natural disasters, and even apocalyptic events.

This weapon also holds control over the six realms the infinity stones held control, Space, Power, Time, Reality, Mind and Soul.

This weapon possesses no permanent form or shape, meaning is ever changing and ever shifting. The user can will the weapon to change into anything, making the weapon scatter and reform at will.

I smiled, my hands burnt to the bones, as I looked at the weapon floating in front of me. It looked almost like water, like how the reality stone had looked before I had given it form, but instead of red like the Aether, what laid in front of me, was blue. Moving like one would expect water to move in space.

I laughed, looking around as I whistled in admiration, "Not bad." 

The hypergiant was gone, almost as if it had never existed, to begin with, destroyed by my weapon's birth.
