Path To Godhood Begins With Marrying Wife And Gaining SSS Rank Skill - Chapter 514:Birth Of New Offspring

Bang! Bang!

For the past few days, Ethan had not stopped forging. The sound of metal striking echoed constantly through the forge, rising and falling in a steady rhythm.

Weapons, armaments, and experimental pieces had already piled up beside the workbench, some still warm, some half-finished, and some waiting for refinement.

Now, he had shifted his focus.

This time, it was not swords.

It was armor.

But not ordinary armor.

Ethan stood in front of a mannequin dressed in what looked like noble attire. It was a finely tailored suit, deep navy in color, with silver embroidery running neatly along the edges. The fabric looked soft and elegant, something a nobleman would wear to a formal gathering rather than a battlefield.

The coat fit perfectly, the inner vest layered with subtle patterns, and the cuffs were decorated with delicate runic stitching that was almost invisible unless looked at closely.

Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed it.

“Looks normal…”

But he knew it was not.

This was a combat suit.

With a simple thought, he activated the mechanism.

The fabric shifted slightly.

In an instant, the inner layers hardened, and a thin yet durable armor formed beneath the surface. The soft cloth reinforced itself, becoming capable of resisting heavy impacts while still maintaining its noble appearance.

At the same time, the enchantments activated.

A cooling effect spread across the suit, allowing it to resist extreme heat, while another layer provided warmth in cold conditions.

Ethan nodded slowly.

“Good.”

Previously, he had only designed such clothes while Mareti handled the enchantments.

But now, he was doing both.

His gaze then shifted toward another set of garments.

Women’s attire.

Elegant dresses, flowing and refined, yet embedded with the same hidden protection and layered enchantments.

Ethan looked at them for a moment and shook his head slightly.

“…People are going to go crazy over this.”

He picked up one of the fabrics and lightly stroked it, feeling the smooth texture under his fingers.

“If I can add a light attribute…” he muttered.

“It would greatly increase combat ability.”

But he paused.He lacked one thing.

Blessing-type casting.

That was not something he could fully integrate yet.

“…Something for the future.”

For now, the priority was simple.

Sell them and earn more.

“Ahh… what a busy life…” he muttered, stretching his shoulders.

“I think I should start taking stu…”

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence as a thought struck him.

“…Damn.”

“I have so many lying around… I should start teaching them.”

Because of everything happening recently, he had completely forgotten.

He had knowledgeAnd he had students.

Without wasting more time, Ethan turned back toward the forge.

Bang! Bang!

The hammer struck again, and the sound filled the room once more.

Time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by.

During this time, Ethan did not leave. He stayed at home, spending time with his wives, guiding his children, and steadily developing the family.

Under his careful planning, the Blank family experienced rapid growth.

Their existing industries such as beer, sugar, perfume, and food products expanded far beyond the province of Ruthiana. Their products now reached most provinces of the Arcadia Empire and had even begun entering other empires.

At the same time, with Ethan forging high-level equipment, Global Symphony broke past its previous limits. It nearly reached the capital market, though it still faced strong competition from the Merchant Association led by Ambrose.

Every month, they generated nearly 200 million gold coins in profit.

Apart from that, Ethan developed new industries with Mareti’s help, especially in magical equipment manufacturing.

Mareti’s students had also begun taking important positions.

Previously, the Blank family lacked high-level alchemists and runesmiths.

Now, they had more than enough.

In this world, powerful individuals were the wealthiest group, and magical equipment was both necessary and constantly consumed.

As long as the quality was high, there was no concern about selling.

The speed of making money was terrifying.

In less than half a year, Ethan earned 5 billion gold coins through high-end magical equipment alone.

Of course, earning money quickly also meant spending it quickly.

As the Blank family grew stronger, their expenses increased. Just the monthly resources required for cultivation reached nearly 100 million gold coins.

Especially the children.

Their growth was fast.

Ray, in particular, had developed his aura beyond expectations and was already on the verge of the Emperor realm.

Instead of feeling proud, Sophia felt pressure.

She was genuinely worried her son would surpass her.

It made Ethan laugh.

Thankfully, that pressure pushed Sophia forward, and she broke through her limits as well.

The others were also improving steadily.

As for Miranda.She had left.

She went out traveling with that flutist.

That absence left a quiet ache in Ethan’s heart.

He missed her.

Among all his children, Ray and Miranda, being his first-borns, shared a different kind of bond with him.

Now they had grown and stepped into their own paths.

Instead of pure happiness, Ethan felt a mix of nostalgia and quiet sadness.

“Haaa… being a father is quite complicated…” he muttered softly.

“Is that how my parents felt when I broke through and made a name in the industry?”

A gentle smile appeared on his face.Even now, even after reaching this level, he had not forgotten his past.

That memory kept him grounded and made him aware of his roots.

It was truly defying remembering how far he had come.The years of struggle had passed away in the blink of an eye.

“No need to be melancholy, Ethan…” he said quietly to himself.

“The Blank family hasn’t reached the peak yet.”

Only when they stood unmatched would he truly relax.With that thought, Ethan returned to work again.

Months passed.

Soon, it was time.

Kassandra and the others were nearing childbirth.

Unusually, Kassandra had not given birth in nine months. On second thought, she was a demon, so her period was different, and it extended to nearly one and a half years.

Ethan felt a rare sense of excitement.

Then a voice echoed in his mind.

[Detected the birth of Host children.]
