I decided to experiment and devour them to see what I could get.

The items left were the [Blazing Bow of Endless Hellish Flaming Arrows; Xedia (Legendary)], the [Venomous Dagger of Corrosion and Disruption; Nari (Legendary)], the [Night Lion Prince's Shadow Envious Soul Ethereal Claws; Vasipheus (Legendary)], and the [Heavenly Robes of the Saint Priestess of Light and Holiness; Phymara (Legendary)].

Biting on them felt just as impossible and hard as I once tried to do so… but when I applied 'God Devour' into my teeth, the weapons began to slowly crack. The hard pieces of materials filled my mouth as I munched them into dust and gulped them slowly.

Differently, than eating a god, this was quite hard work. I ended up spending the rest of the day eating them one by one with a lot of wine and other drinks to pass down all the things.

But as I ate them, I felt that my whole body gained a new essence. It was a remarkably similar experience to eating Divinity Fragments, but also different.

The tastes were… varied, but nothing outstanding, after all, they were materials not suited for consumption, and their taste was metallic, bitter, and hard.

Just what… are these skills?

…Wait, Divine Self-Evolution?

[Divine Self-Evolution; Level 1]

A Skill often possessed by Divine Beasts or Divine Weapons, which grants the user the ability to evolve. In the case of Divine Beasts, it is done by accumulating a certain amount of Divine Energy from the environment, raising through the Ranks of Divinity. In the case of Weapons, it is made when the wielder whose soul is bonded with the weapon raises its strength to the desired amount.

This process is usually done automatically.

-------------

"Can I use it? Can I evolve? Even without reaching the max level?" I wondered as I tried to forcefully activate the skill. 

[This skill can only be used by those that have raised into True Divinity as a Living Deity Rank as a minimum]

Sigh…

False alarm, it seems.

However, many of the other skills seemed interesting.

There were the skills that were just named after the weapons, they let me summon the weapons I just ate similar to how I can do with 'mortal' weapons with my Armory Skill.

Each weapon showcased their original strength more or less, but when I infused my own Aura, they would become stronger and greater, it was also possible to fuse them or 'integrate' them over to other skills or the Armory skill, but I feel like whenever I reach max level in the Armory skill, it will naturally absorb these skills.

Every weapon/equipment skill also came with more skills that seemed to combine well with them, such as one that let me create an endless amount of blazing arrows seemingly of divine nature to use with the bow, but these could also be used separately.

The [Artificially Created Divine Material] skill represented the materials that I devoured which made the weapons. Because the weapons were created 'artificially' by the system and not crafted by gods, this skill appeared when Devour (Uroboros) assimilated the properties of what I ate.

It seems to be a passive skill that somehow converged with other skills acquired, such as [Forbidden Divine Treasure], making my own body something similar to Divine Materials in quality and power. Perhaps my bones, horns, scales, claws, and fangs could become good ingredients for Legendary-Rank equipment whenever I am capable of crafting it.

The [Divine Energy Conversion] was an interesting one, it was a power that every weapon held innately, which let them convert Divine Energy into other energies such as Life Energy, Magic Energy, or Soul Energy. This power was used by the weapons to grant their wielders powerful boosts on their strength, speed, magic, and so on. It also seems to grant the ability to manipulate Divine Energy, but not to produce it.

The [Heaven-Piercing Endless Hellish Projectile of the Fire God], [Slashing Tools of Sadistic Disruption of the Poison God], [Spectral Ethereal Claws of the Shadow God], and [Divine Robes of the Saint God] Skills seem to be related to the main weapons, and also represent the tools that these 'gods' wield. However, these weapons lacked any god blessing, and seem to have been generated by the system without any god leaving their mark on them beforehand, so these anonymous gods shown in the skills must only represent the entity that could be capable of creating them.

Using these skills made my entire body or the Legendary Weapon skill stronger. My body could become as powerful and blazing as the projectile of a fire god, or become sharp and capable of disrupting the poison god, my claws could become ethereal and phantasmagoric, capable of slashing through souls with ease like a grim reaper, similar to the shadow god, and my clothes or my own skin could become sturdy and give me an even greater self-regeneration and the ability to buff those around me without even doing anything else like the saint god.

Other skills similar to them seemed to be techniques that went well with these skills, such as the [Endless Divine Blazing Arrows Creation], that created divine blazing arrows that would explode if not fired within a few seconds after being created, [Divine Decapitation] that unleashed a powerful slashing attack that could penetrate the defense of enemies and if aimed at the head, would deal extra damage, [Venomous Demon Corrosion Poison of Death] that created a demonic poison of divine qualities that was very similar to Megusan's one, [Deadly Cursed Wounds of Rotting Disruption] which caused cursed wounds on the users that I attacked with any kind of poison that would quickly rot their flesh and make enemies lethargic, [Soul-Piercing Dark Claws of Divinity] that were claws that could pierce souls and easily consume them at the same time, [Enshrouding Transformation] that let me transform into pure shadows and merge with them, [Heavenly Divine Arc of Protection and Blessings] that let me create an arc of light atop my head that create a large and healing Aura, it was like a discount version Amiphossia's Heavenly Medicine Aura, [Saint Realm of Heavenly Recovery] which was the ability to create a 'Realm', a separate space that would transport people inside it to heal themselves until they were ejected by it when they were judged to be 'healed' and the [Piercing Evil] skill that granted extra damage against 'evil beings', though this was ambiguous.

Moving on to other skills, there were the 'Divine-Related' Skills as well, which seemed to be the innate traits of the weapons which transformed into skills when I consumed the weapons, something that seems to be impossible by common-sense standards.

The [Divine Capacity Expansion] is an interesting skill that could let me expand the capacity of my overall powers as if there were no more limits now, and as it keeps leveling up, this capacity would expand further away into the realm of mortals and into something beyond that, the [Divine Self-Repair] skill was a power innate of weapons that let them repair themselves from cracks and so on, in my body, this was translated as a powerful regeneration ability, which I had plenty, this only made me harder to kill, the [Divine Body Adaptability] skill was also another trait of weapons and equipment that let them grow in size or adapt to the wearer's body, in my case, it seems to have the same effects but greater, while also giving me the ability to easily adapt to situations and challenges, be it physical or mental.

And last but not least, the Metamorphosis skills. Similar to the 'Fire Metamorphosis' skill I acquired months ago in the Forsaken Labyrinth, it lets my flesh transform into a primary element or material.

The [Complete Divine Poison Material Metamorphosis] Skill, let my flesh transform into a Divine Poison Material, that can be used to attack or even as just that, a material to be used… And the [Complete Divine Shadow Material Metamorphosis] does the same, letting me transform my body into a Divine Shadow Attribute Material, that could be just smoke, jewels, minerals, and other things… the possibilities of producing these materials and then selling it for Divine Energy Crystals in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop of the gods seem appetizing, but I fear that this might end up letting the gods that buy it acquire some kind of advantage over me, what if one of them has some Divine Technique that can track me or curse me by using something created by my body? Better not risk it for now. 

All of these skills seemed to have increased my overall powers to a new level, perhaps to the same caliber as eating a god, or a bit lesser…

Now I wondered if I should become more voracious about eating equipment instead of gifting it to my beloved ones… but I prefer to gift it if necessary and only eat it when no one else needs it.

Just like any other skills, I believe that if I consume too many of these weapons, less and fewer skills will be acquired, until eating such a weapon will only grant one or two skills at most, there is no point in wasting such a weapon by then, so I will carefully choose my meals and eat what no one needs at the moment.

I have stockpiled a few weapons in my Item Box, but those are more useful for Gungnir to use… but perhaps I could use the skills that represent the weapons I ate to create Gungnir?

I flew to the outside, glancing at the starry sky of the night, the moon was beautiful, shining in white light.

I flew higher to the sky, until no one else could be nearby and summoned these four weapons and then Gungnir…

The results were as I expected, Gungnir could be created with these. I also discovered that mortal weapons created with my Armory Skill could also be added into the mix, at least as filling, while the Legendary ones can be used as the coating that keeps the materials together while protecting the inside part…

Should I then eat my other weapons?

Considering how tiring it was to eat them, I decided to leave this thought for another day, there was no hurry about eating them now that I had my fill.

However, I was still hungry in my other bodies, so I gathered with most of them and fused back to one body, going to have dinner with my family.

It was a long day, that is for sure…
