Currently I only had a single item I could merge with the two which was high quality enough:
[Ocean of Time's Crab Emperor's Knife (A Grade)]
[Effects]
[Fortune]: [B+++]
[Physical Strength]: [A+++]
[Magical Power]: [B+++]
[Dexterity and Agility]: [A+++]

When Mana is imbued into the Knife, a powerful [Timeless Aura] is conjured, which increases all Physical Speed, Agility, Dexterity, and Evasion by 35% for a few minutes.
[Description]
A special Knife created by the Yggdrasil Dream Dungeon, a completely original item that can only be wielded by the one that has received the gift. This Knife enhances the Speed of the wielder by a great amount, while also enhancing their Affinity with Water and Time Attribute by one Grade. It also allows for the creation of water and the slight control of concepts of time more easily and can reinforce the strength of Water and Time Attribute Magic and Spirits related with such elements.
The Ocean of Time's Crab Emperor's Knife is a pretty strong weapon but I find it hard to ever use one, especially because knives don't really go with my fighting style. That's why I am mostly considering fusing this over either Skadi or Uller.
The powers reigning over this knife I acquired in a dream dungeon are rather strong, but I can just force it to merge with another item as long as I use Divine Blacksmithing Arts anyways. I suppose Skadi would be more fitting for this Water and Time Attribute enhancements.
Nonetheless, once we arrived at the secret treasury of Sapphira, we were greeted by a similar sight to the one we once saw within the Inheritance of the Frost Queen. There were several pieces of armor enchanted with divine power, weapons, accessories, and even materials such as divine monster cores of a variety of creatures.
"Welcome, this is the treasury I've been hoarding for thousands of years. All of you are already pretty strong, but I believe some new equipment could help you out, even if a bit more." She said. "Feel free to take a weapon and armor per person, oh, and well, an accessory if they fit you."
Everyone immediately glanced back at me for some reason.
"Eh? Sure, go ahead and grab whatever you want." I sighed.
I guess they were waiting for my approval? The items here were all quite alright, almost the same level as the dropped items from the Dream Dungeon, but not as amazing.
Nonetheless, something picked my interest as I glanced around the treasures. It was a large trident imbued with a big blue colored jewel emanating draconic power.
Nobody had noticed it except me, as it was sitting all the way in the back of the treasury hall. As I drew closer, the beautiful trident began to glow with an inviting aura, although it seemed old and filled with cracks and covered on dust, it seemed to contain some unseen power.
"Ah, I knew you would be interested in that." Sapphira said, walking to my side. "This is a special weapon no normal person can use, not even I."
"Special Weapon?" I wondered.
"Can't you use your Divine Eyes to take a look at its information? I am sure you'll be surprised." Sapphira said.
Divine Eyes was a natural technique all Gods could developed. By infusing Divine Power into the eyes, it was possible for Gods to easily analyze items, materials, and people, much like my appraisal, but obviously not game-like, and therefore less cool and heavily nerfed.
Of course I just had my own Analyze/Appraisal which I've had since I was born in this world anyways, so for me this is no trouble.
And as the system showed me the item's information, I felt slightly… disappointed.
[Aquarius' Broken Trident (Broken) (F Grade)]
[Effects]
[Fortune]: [F-]
[Physical Strength]: [F+]
[Magical Power]: [F-]
[Dexterity and Agility]: [F-]]
[Abilities]
[Ancient Relic of the Guardian of the Seas (Broken)]: This item is broken and has lost most of its powers due to the passing of time and the death of its original wielder. However, if it can find a new wielder and new materials to be repaired with, the legendary weapon's true power will be unlocked.
[Description]
An old-looking sea trident that was once wielded by Aquarius, the Guardian of the Seas. It lacks its original powers due to the passing of time and the death of its original wielder. It is barely stronger than a simple wooden spear.
"Wait is this serious?" I wondered. "It's garbage…"
"Don't be so harsh." Sapphire sighed. "This is my beloved's favorite weapon. He said it was forged using the tooth of his almighty power, the Primordial Dragon Mother of the Sea Dragons, Ran. It also possess a piece of his own Divine Core, which he used to complete the weapon's construction alongside Divine Metal, Orichalcum, and his own scales."
"Interesting… But if it used such high-quality materials, why is it even in such a poor state now?" I wondered, incapable of understanding how such a divine weapon could even deteriorate.
"Have you not paid attention to the weapon's information?" She sighed. "This was a special weapon he had. It broke due to his fight against the Deep One, but it was the only weapon capable of hurting that monster. Because it was Soul Connected with him, once he died, the weapon, seemingly with a will of its own, died as well… I remember it could even talk before, but it is nothing but a silent ancient relic now."
Wait, it was able to talk? So I am not the only one that can create talking weapons. I don't know if that is reassuring or not…
