[Blades of Chaos: Forged in the foulest, darkest depths of the underworld and imbued with the primordial flames of both Tartarus and Chaos as well as the spark of the world, this weapon is composed of a pair of indestructible twin blades with unbreakable chains attached to their hilts. Even gods will tremble when they see this in your hands. This is a growth-type weapon that not only focuses and amplifies your own Divine power of any nature but also increases in strength the more essence it absorbs from those it kills. Made from unknown elements, these blades are capable of slaying any being regardless of their type of immortality. Whether they be gods, demons, angels, or embodiments of entire concepts, these two can rip through anyone, making them experience true death. Enchanted to always return to your hands when called and cannot be touched by anyone except you and those you allow. Also, it will return to you if lost or stolen, or if it is somehow taken beyond your realm. Furthermore, it can be stored in the form of a pair of rings for you to wear.

My initial reaction was not one of happiness but of immense astonishment upon receiving the weapon bestowed upon me by the system as the reward. The Blades of Chaos were not merely a famous weapon from the God of War video game series, but they were nearly legendary, owing to the incredible feats Kratos pulled out with them. So, as my surprise waned, I quickly came to a swift realization. This weapon was absolutely perfect for the current me. Yes, it might not possess the reality-bending abilities that many weapons are rumored to have but this was a growth-type item which meant it would never become useless for me, no matter how strong I become. Furthermore, it could help me slay immortals bypassing their immortality while also complementing my fire powers and increasing my divine energy-blended attacks which were everything I needed in a weapon. Of course, the bonus effects were just a cherry on top.

"Blades of Chaos," I eagerly muttered, watching as the leather-bound hilts of the twin sword-like daggers emerged from a pair of small red vortices right in front of me, revealing themselves from my inventory.

Knowing that I had a war to fight against the angel army, I quickly reached forward to grab the handles of the blades without hesitation but quite unexpectedly, the moment I grabbed them, the small broken chains attached to the pommel of the hilts immediately stretched in my direction before tightly wrapping around the length of my wrists.

However, quite strangely, I felt no pain or discomfort because of the chains. Instead, I felt... stronger. I felt connected to the blades like I could somehow sense and control them. It was an amazing sensation that reassured my belief that my new weapon was indeed perfect for me. "These are quite shiny, unlike the original rusted pair in the game," I mused, observing the clear reflection of my face on the two silver blades in my hands, which were now softly glowing red because of the intense heat emanating from them. In fact, the blades were slowly growing so hot that it almost appeared as if liquid magma was coursing through the runic, vein-like patterns etched onto the surface of the metal.
