However, Kanna noticed that this greatsword was only sharpened on one side; the other side appeared quite blunt.
After swinging it for a few minutes to satisfy her body's warm-up, she asked about this issue.
"Good question! I thought you hadn't noticed!" Sister Vulcan clapped her hands in satisfaction upon hearing Kanna's question.
"You can try to infuse your lightning skills into the weapon; something very interesting will happen," Sister Vulcan said with a mysterious smile.
Kanna nodded after hearing this, then moved a little further away to prevent the spreading lightning from harming the observers.
As electricity extended from her body, she keenly noticed that the current overflowing from near her hand was absorbed by the sword.
At the same time, the blade edges on both sides of the entire sword appeared in two colors: red and blue.
The red appeared on the blunt side, and the blue appeared on the sharp side. Upon closer inspection, one could clearly feel that the red side emitted a very high temperature, while the blue side felt extremely cold.
Only when the weapon successfully changed color did Sister Vulcan speak.
"I used two special types of ore in this weapon. One type, when stimulated externally, absorbs ambient heat and becomes very cold. The other, conversely, rapidly heats up when stimulated and then releases a large amount of heat. The two ores are embedded with the hardest and highest melting point D32 steel, forming this weapon.
The blunt side is hot, and the sharp side is cold.
Kanna, try pressing the raised button on the hilt of the sword."
Following Sister Vulcan's instructions, Kanna felt for the button on the hilt and pressed it. Instantly, the door-panel greatsword split into two: one blazing hot, the other icy cold. Seeing the change in the weapon in her hands, Kanna became even more excited. As she swung them, everyone saw red and blue lights envelop Kanna, and hot air currents and icy sword winds formed dazzling trails around her.
Once Kanna had had enough and stopped supplying energy, the two weapons quickly settled down again.
Kanna brought the two weapons together, and they once again became the exaggerated door-panel greatsword.
"How is it?"
"Sister Vulcan truly lives up to her reputation as Rhodes Island's strongest blacksmith. In one word: awesome!"
She had initially thought it was just a regular two-handed sword suitable for giant combat, but she hadn't expected the actual effect to far exceed her expectations.
"I'm glad you're satisfied. This weapon is yours to use. However, it hasn't been named yet. Do you have any ideas?"
"Uh... this weapon is so big, and it has ice and fire effects, how about 'Ice and Fire Greatsword'?" Kanna said, scratching her head with a teasing tone.
...Seeing everyone's speechless expressions, Kanna laughed heartily.
"Just kidding! This weapon is so big and heavy. I read a book that said Yan has a divine sword called Juque. I think that name is good..."
"You also said that Juque has already been used by someone..." Ace covered his forehead, feeling a headache from Kanna's naming sense.
Recalling the nature of the two weapons, an exclamation mark seemed to light up beside Kanna's head.
"Got it. This weapon, when combined, will be called 'A Song of Ice and Fire.' When separated, the hot one will be called 'Fire's Passion,' and the icy one, 'Frostmourne.'"
In this world, Kanna also had no father, so she wasn't worried that the name would carry some strange curse or karma.
Compared to the 'Ice and Fire Greatsword,' these names, though still unreliable, were much better. And after all, it was Kanna's weapon; she could call it whatever she wanted, and others didn't need to interfere.
Otherwise, if she insisted on naming her greatsword 'Pink Fluffy Bunny,' and then someone lost to Kanna in a competition and had to say they were defeated by a Pink Fluffy Bunny, they'd be socially dead on the spot.
Comparatively, everyone thought the current name was actually quite acceptable.
On the upper deck of the landship, Kroos didn't follow them out. Instead, she went upstairs to meet Kal'tsit. The two stood by the window, looking at the ground below, which was a mess after Kanna's rampage.
"Although I shouldn't say this, given Kanna's current destructive power, isn't giving her such a powerful thing a bit too outrageous? I think if the previous Kanna, unchecked, could easily dismantle the entire Rhodes Island, now she only needs a third of that time."
Even though Amiya trusted Kanna immensely, the strength Kanna displayed indeed gave the veterans a headache. Giving such a child, who could easily destroy most of Rhodes Island, a weapon specifically designed for giant objects—wasn't that just accelerating her efficiency in tearing down the place?
"Don't treat Kanna as a child."
Kal'tsit said after a moment of silence, having watched Kanna's demonstration.
"Although she seems young and can play with children like Popukar, you must understand that she is actually very intelligent and possesses strong self-control. If she were truly an ignorant little girl as she appears, Rhodes Island would probably have been torn to shreds by now.
So, rather than worrying that she will lose control due to a tantrum, I am more concerned that she will be unable to handle her rapidly increasing strength."
Downstairs, although the test was over, Kanna's spirits were still soaring.
The feel of this thing was much better than she had imagined. In greatsword form, a standard, no-explanation weapon warrior combo of Thunderbolt Wedge flash, followed by Little Dragonman Charge, then Thunderous Strike, and finally Super Invincible Lightning Great Windmill, highlighted a whirlwind of dust and an unstoppable momentum.
In dual-wield mode after splitting the chopsticks, the two weapons, with their narrower blades, were easier to wield. For large creatures, a healthy and hygienic 'Left-Spinning Ice and Fire Double Heaven Back Scrubbing' technique could be used, guaranteed to leave their backs half-cooked and half-raw after one set.
Moreover, in dual-wield state, the weapons weren't as exaggerated as the greatsword, making them perfectly suitable for small-scale combat.
Her satisfaction with the weapon crafted by Sister Vulcan was 120%.
The greatsword mode was majestic enough, and the dual-wield mode offered beautiful color changes. As for whether being too flashy would make her a target on the battlefield, there was no need to worry about that at all.
Because Sister Vulcan, after carefully observing Kanna's fighting style, considered that with Thunderbolt Wedge's connection changes and displacement effects, it was almost impossible for enemies to catch Kanna. Coupled with the lightning overflowing from Kanna's body once she entered combat, it was already fortunate if she didn't seek out trouble with the enemy, let alone expect many people to trouble her on an unpredictable battlefield.
After returning to Rhodes Island, Kanna slung the weapon horizontally across her back and dashed towards Rosmontis and Cerberus, her beaming smile bringing immense satisfaction to Sister Vulcan, who had expended great effort for this weapon.
After all, as a blacksmith, what could make her happier than a customer being satisfied with her weapon?
Chapter 81 ~ ~ ~ ~ Coming Soon ~ ~ ~ ~
On this day, Rhodes Island was holding a new round of the eating contest.
When Kanna won first place in the competition with an absolute advantage, she looked up and saw the sky and earth change color, the sun and moon losing their light.
Just as she wondered what was happening, a voice echoed between heaven and earth ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Coming soon, coming soon ~ ~ ~
Coming soon???
Is there barbecue???
Kanna looked around in confusion, noticing that everyone was smiling joyfully. It turned out that besides natural disasters, there was also a blessing from the gods on Terra, and before that blessing arrived, the sound of "Coming soon" would always be heard.
It was called the "Coming Soon Blessing," and those who heard the sound would be happy for a whole year.

Alright! I received notification from the editor; it's going to be published tomorrow.
When I first started writing this book, it was purely because I was in a book drought. I couldn't find anything else to read, so I decided to write one myself.
Unexpectedly, the results along the way have been quite good. Being published proves that my novel is appealing to you all, which is truly my good fortune.
This is all thanks to the strong support of all my readers.
I am very happy.
The road ahead is still long, and Kanna's journey has only just begun.
I hope everyone can continue this journey with me.
PS: Please stop sending me Clue 2 and Clue 7! Ahhhhhh! Every time I open it, it's all 2s and 7s! I can't use them all! I'm scared ⊙▽⊙
Finally,
I wish everyone good appetite and excellent health!!!!

Anyway, no one reads it if I write too much, so I won't waste everyone's time anymore.
Let me just add a few more words ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
