God's Eyes

Though killing may not be forbidden inside the war zone, it was certainly frowned upon!

There was no need to needlessly kill because it was important to maintain a good relationship with all the races.

This would prevent multiple races from establishing an alliance to overthrow the other races and annex the broken world.

In the end, this was not needed by most common races because they had several areas with a similarly dense amount of mana, and it was only the war zone and other similar facilities that drew their younger generation to the broken world.

It was rare for some races to encounter other races as some liked to keep to themselves.

For such races, the broken world was exactly what they needed to get to know the strength of other races, and their prodigies!

Jason understood this too, and it was only unfortunate races and entire worlds that had to rely on the broken world to cultivate similar to that of Argos and the Olympus federation.

He was not sure if the other races that had a world bridge connected to the broken world knew this, but it didn't really matter.

The Olympus federation had already overcome so much blame and humiliation that being ridiculed by more races wouldn't make it any worse..

In the future; the time when the Olympus federation would make their move, they would start reclaiming their old lands one after another.

This may need time and a proper strategy, but Jason assumed that something similar to that was the federation's ultimate goal.

As long as they reclaimed the weakest planet, it might even work, but only if the older generation of the immigrating races was still alive.

Fighting others while being at the Prismar stage was not really worth it, and Jason could tell that the Olympus federation was making plans for the future, plans that they would enact in the coming centuries, if not millennia later!

Jason found this extremely interesting, and if possible he would tell the human race to establish a close relationship with the Olympus federation.

This might as well help both parties to get what they always wanted while reducing his burden!

Unfortunately, this was something for the future, and Jason was still forced to maintain peace among the different power-hungry clans of mankind on Argos.

Because of that, winning the liberation tournament was even more important as his strength would increase further if Solaris was to devour the lesser origin flame.

Other than that, the broken world was another opportunity he and his soulbonds had to use.

From the information, the guide had given him Jason knew that the war zone was not the only important place inside the broken world.

As such, he manifested Artemis' wings before flying towards the center of the broken world.

By exerting the Floating sky technique at the highest mastery he had achieved until now, his speed increased.

Meanwhile, his stigma and the Celestia aura further enhanced his mana circulation, thus also the highest pace at which he could exert the Floating sky movement technique, increasing his speed.

Equipped with the speed of someone at the latter ranks of the Lique stage, Jason reached the broken world's center only a day later.

There, he could see a gigantic area that was enveloped in a faint mana membrane, indicating the outlines of the war zone.

However, that was not what Jason wanted to look at.

He was more interested in the large market right next to the war zone.

Almost every race had established a small district that had different kinds of goods on display.

Through certain channels, one could even find cheap substitutes for pryr stones.

At least, that was what Jason had heard which was the reason for him to exchange only a few pryr stones with the equipment he had received from the colosseum's bet.

On Argos, one pryr stone was worth two, if not three times more valuable than mana stones.

But that was not the case for other races, let alone the broken world where everyone was competing with each other on offering the best selling prices.

Because of that, he wanted to take a look at the goods' prices inside the broken world.

Maybe he could make use of the races' competitiveness, and exchange the materials he had in addition to the high-grade mana stones.

Unfortunately, the trade market in Janur didn't have what he had wanted.

There were certain things he was looking for, and Jason hoped to find them inside the broken world.

When he had reached the proximity of the market, Jason descended to the ground.

After that, he stepped through the paved streets and switched on his Emperor Eyes ability.

There was no need to waste any time on unnecessary shops where he wouldn't find what he was looking for either way.

Thus, he continued to scan the shops around him before his eyes fell on something.

Turning to his left, he decided to enter an inconspicuous shop.

Jason couldn't help but smile when he took a proper look at the items exhibited inside the small shop that was right in front of a large blacksmith shop.

Even though the items were mostly at the Lique stage, the color Jason perceived showed that it had a high quality.

The same could be said about the entire smithy, with every single tool and material that had been refined to an extremely high extent.

'The weapons have less than 1% impurities! Have they been forged with an origin flame or a particular forging technique that involved purifying metals?'

Jason was curious about forging, concocting, and most importantly, rune inscribing techniques.

This had multiple reasons, but one was that Jason wanted to learn more about the three basic auxiliary occupations as it could help him advance further.

Learning more about runes and how to inscribe them in the best possible way was extremely beneficial for the termination of world bridges.

The same applied to the enhancement process of certain characteristics from forged goods, devices and to accomplish other specific things.

Other than that, the concocting process was connected to inscribing runes too. The better the inscription solution, the more potent would be the inscribed rune.

As such, a technique on how to concoct more efficiently with higher potency was essential too!

This was also connected to the forging techniques as the best-inscribed runes on the most powerful weapons would not only allow the wielder to exhibit more of his strength but also to defend properly without the need to fear that the weapon would break at first contact.

Jason walked through the small shop, inspecting every single weapon through his Emperor Eyes. At the same time, it was not too difficult for him to pay attention to the shop's blacksmith, who looked like a fire giant.

In fact, Jason had almost thought that the race the blacksmith belonged to was the Ganasia race that had attacked Cyro City.

However, this was not the case because of the distinct mana fluctuations and affinities the blacksmith in front of him had.

He might not be sure what race the man in front of him belonged to, but it was definitely among the stronger races in the field of blacksmithing!

By simply observing the blacksmith's strokes on the searing hot ingot, Jason could tell that the hammer was not only heavy but also amplified by mana that was intertwined in a complex manner, creating small dents into the metal.

'Is that some sort of forging technique?' Jason wondered and he seemed to have lost track of time as he was fully fixated on the forging process in front of him.

He tried to imprint every single movement in his mind while doing the same with the mana circulation of the fire giant who released fire from his arm, enveloping the heavy hammer with which he struck the metal.

Jason didn't even realize when the blacksmith had stopped forging, as he had been mesmerized watching him work.

The blacksmith noticed a man wearing a silver dragon mask standing a few meters next to him, staring at him and his forge, and asked in a gruff tone,

"Hey brat, do you have any business with me??"
