Chapter 345: The Hellbane Reforged
(General POV)
Location the Immaterium-The Nethervoid-Top of a Lone Mountain of Creation, Inside the Sphere of Baetylus
As the Dark One was still inside his workshop, with it slick metallic and marble interior, with amethyst crystals encrusted on the walls, ceiling and floating around the area, the Dark One was below the Baetylus', giant power core floating above him, as the crystal that the sphere held inside was working as always in perfect order, with the swirling four serpents which are the darkness one, the daemonic one, the fel one, and finally creation one the that flew around inside the crystal orb, pouring their power into core and in turn into the work-table where the Dark One was working in front of.
The orb as usual was surging with all those energies onto the worktable at the center bellow, allowing Laharl to work and upgrade on the Hellbane using not only those energies, but the small amount of powers granted to him by his brothers' to further improve the daemonic weapon of the avatar of the Dark Gods.
The round platform and worktable held a blazing multi-colored piece of metal, with the lights of violet, green, and white energies illuminate the worktable as well, using the violet energy mallet to hammer, and reforge the weapon, the Dark One, struck and struck the blade until his vision of the blade was complete.
Every strike of the hammer, after a while it was ready making Laharl smile, as he sent a mental command to his Baetylus to form a special stand for the Hellbane, to begin the power infusing.
And just as he commanded the workshop, the still surging and multi-color flashing piece of metal floated over to the other side of the workshop, as metal hooks hooped around the blade that was transforming into its new reforged Undivided State.
The Dark Harbinger, admired his work he model the blade itself to one of the legendary evil swords in gaming, Frostmourne, but only the blade only longer and wider, with its runes being more align with their daemonic scriptures than WOW's which have Tzeentch's arcane blessing, while the edge was soaked in the deadliest poison from one of Nurgle's plants.
The black, large eight-point star with the vertical and horizontal points being the longest branches of the points, acting as a crossguard with a large, horned skull with a open mouth revealing it large fangs, and razor-sharp teeth, it has these skull faces on both front and back, with brass studs holding it onto the eight-points.
The skull-faces eyes had a see-through crystals with swirling glowing energies from amethyst color which is imbued with his own darkness power, along with hellfire for Khorne, green ooze of plagues for Nurgle, and lastly electrical blue and pink sparks, coating around the chaotic energies.
A long zweihänder style handle made from black metals, with thin silver ringbands on some section of the handle wrapped in daemon hide from a Slaughterbrute with Khorne's blessing/permission.
The long handle has a eldritch mass mixed metal long, thick hand guard, a perfect blade to represent Chaos Undivided.
Laharl smiled with a very pleased expression, as he spread his arm and claws widely in the air.
As four bubbles holding a part of the powers of himself and his brothers, ready to be introduced and empowered to greater levels than the sword once held, now that the Undivided State was stronger, it was more than capable to handle more of their powers.
In each bubble held a daemonic power of one of current Ruinous Powers, starting with Tzeentch since he is the latest to be born and the one that hasn't bond with the blade.
With a twitch of his right index claw, making the farthest of the right bubbles that held a torrent of blue, and pink erratic energies of Change started to float towards the Hellbane, using his [Creator, Dark Arts & Smithing] divinities together, to merge and forge the tzeentchian state of the Hellbane.
After a great blue flash, the sword absorbed Tzeentch's power easily and briefly transformed into it Tzeentch State, a serpentine, double-edge, razor-sharp, massive blade with a golden edge, the blade was shining silver and sapphire, with a crimson, gold, and orange colored tzeentchian style Sun/All-seeing Eye as the crossguard over the Undivided one.
The azure and indigo colored burning eye over the sun style crossguard, a long curved handle with a blue, purple, and black plumage wedge between the crossguard and handle.
Honestly looks like a named balesword, if they're any in the lore, it was exuding daemonic, magical power, completely fitting Tzeentch as it reverted back to it Undivided State.
One down, three more to go, as Laharl went with Khorne's next.
Twitching slightly his left, massive index claw the bubble filled with boiling, hot blood submerging a flame of hellfire, floated over at the Hellbane and was quickly absorbed, causing of burst of hellish flames to come out of the blade, as it transformed into its Khorne State.
A giant flaming sword, with several razor-sharp, teeth on the black so it can cut, burn, and shred all in one stroke.
The blade was red and black color, resembling "Organics" sword from FF7, only the guard resembled a great evil dragon head which was impaled through the mouth, as blood dripped down the guard's mouth, eyes and nose, it side, wide reaching curved horns acting as part of the guard, a reddish chain wrapped around it with Khorne brass mark and skulls hanging from it.
Lastly the long handles was a bone spine, with some leather wrapping, honestly looked like an evil dragon slaying sword, it exuded bloodlust, battlehunger, and hellish fire, quite the perfect match for the Blood God.
As the Hellbane was reverting again, back to it Undivided State, the Dark One believes that it's Nurgle's turn, as he twitched both right index and middle claws, towards the blade.
The bubble contained a rotting number of heads and body parts, in a maggot and fly infested mass of sludged and green ooze.
As the bubble touched the Hellbane, releasing such amount of Warp awful stench into the place, as it seethed and assimilated onto the sword, transforming it into it's new Nurgle State.
The blade was massive by far the largest of the ones shown, resembling a very worn and rusted green and brown version of the Uruk-Hai, orc sword from the lords of the ring, the dirty rusted blade had the Mark on the Fly near the top, and the back spike was razor-sharp, oozing with deadly black poison.
Another eight-point but nurglish style, crossguard with a larger mark of the fly in sickly greens, over the eight-points, and fleshly tentacles wiggling around and wrapping themselves onto the blackish green, thick handle.
The handled had a spiked almost giant knuckle-duster style, hand guard and at the pummel another tentacle wiggling around in the air...both menacing and disgusting, absolutely perfect for Nurgle, as the rancid smells of rots, decay, death, and warp-knows what else permeated from the Hellbane, in its current nuglish state.
One last time it turned back to it's Undivided State, as it was time to imbued the Hellbane with his own power, and see the upgraded form of his state of the blade.
This time he smoothly swiped his left claw forward at the Hellbane, as the bubble with liquid shadows swirling around a undisturbed, fel-fireball in the center, came in contact with the daemonic sword and started quickly merging and transforming.
The sword changed into its Laharl State, which appears as a giant, razor-sharp, violet and maroon tinted khyber knife almost like false Zangetsu from Bleach, only the spine has actual dark purple tipped daemon teeth, deadly sharp and strong, just above the guard of the blade was a daemon eye, an organic one that would make Soul Edge proud as it looked around before locking eyes with it master, Laharl.
The crossguard was a living, daemon head with a long snake tongue, coiled around the long, long handle, on the sides of the head were small daemon wings which acts as part of the guard.
Returning to the handle, it was quite long capable for a power fist to wield with ease and the daemon's tongue tightly wrapped around it, at the pummel a claw that was touching a black wing like hand guard, utterly dark, daemonic and nightmarish perfect for the Dark One in his opinion.
So with all in working order, and without any issue or flaw, the Hellbane returned to it Undivided State/Main State, reaching out the Dark One grabbed it and inspected it closely one last time.
Satisfied with his work, he banished it away to store it for when he needs to rebind it with Ixion.
With the Hellbane complete in it's reforging, it can quite easily overpower and surpass one of the mightiest daemonic blades in Old World, own by the Everchosen, Archeon, the sword's name being the Slayer of Kings, that holds the essence of U'zhul, a powerful Daemon of Khorne.
Laharl would go as far to say, that the Hellbane could now even match the most powerful weapon in that world, Sword of Khaine, or as it known by many as the Widowmaker, the Godslayer, Doom of Worlds, a blade that the weaker counterparts of the Chaos Gods, terribly feared...kinda ironic that now their stronger counterparts are to retrieve it for them.
Regardless he was done with one of the things he wanted to make today, the Dark One, he wanted to create a little gift for his daughter, but first he wanted to inspect his stats and divinities, to check if anything major had change and improved.
Calling for Aillia, to bring up his stats and divinities screens, while he was returning to his work bench.
She quickly responded with her usual, cheery sounding voice and attitude, "Right away, my Lord!!! Congratulations on you and Lady Chi!!! MANDRAGGOHZA IS SOO CUTE!!!! ❤️😍" Laharl chuckled and thanked her for comments, and agrees that his sweet little girl, is soo adorable.
And like that two lists, on a pair of floating, transparent blue screens, and he as he stopped in front of the bench and started reading them.

A few have rise level, and [Desacration] was soo close to ascending to it final level, he is curious on what it could be...scratching his chin, he could only think that the only thing greater than [Desacration] would be [Profanity] and he is curious what Profanity could represent as a dark divinity, regardless he was satisfied with everything, he swipes away at the screen, manifesting the violet energy mallet, and his serpents within the floating core of the Baetylys, and went to work on this daughter gift, smashing his mallet onto the workbench.
