Second update today: Chapter 1570! 2/4!
Although Mjolnir, as a True God Artifact, was currently suppressed at Saint Realm Peak, the Thunderous Might it carried still possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth!
Tempering one's body with lightning was not something ordinary people could endure!
This was also why previous assemblies had been limited to the top three Divine Forgemasters. Those who were too weak likely would not gain much benefit!
Every one of the top hundred Divine Forgemasters was an outstanding figure in the Saint Realm. Those like Madam Xu, who had yet to reach Saint Realm Peak, were actually few in number!
The Divine Forgemasters began rubbing their hands together, lining up to try lifting Mjolnir.
Oen summoned an altar capable of containing the leaking lightning, then began calling names and having the Divine Forgemasters enter the altar to try grasping Mjolnir!
But everyone's excitement was doused with cold water when the hundredth-ranked Divine Forgemaster entered the altar, lasted only three seconds, and was blasted into charcoal before being flung out.
He had not died, but he had lost half his life.
He had only managed to raise his arm, without even getting close to Mjolnir's handle.
Oen's expression darkened. "I must remind everyone that, unless you specialize in the lightning path, trying to grasp Mjolnir carries immense risk. Aside from invincible methods, make sure every other defensive measure is in place. Otherwise, you will end up like him!"
The hundredth Divine Forgemaster had provided an excellent negative example. The remaining Divine Forgemasters became extremely cautious when entering the altar.
Yet Mjolnir's violent lightning assault remained ferocious. Even after Oen's warning, none of the Divine Forgemasters who entered afterward got off well!
Every one of them emerged battered and filthy!
But the benefits were equally obvious!
