"Master Drake, you meet Tiamat and never told us about it?!" Surtr seemed slightly angered. "I've always wanted to talk with her!"
"Doesn't she always asleep and is… Like, dead?" Asked Emerald. "So how does she… Talked? My mother said that Tiamat is in a deep slumber she might never wake up from because she's using all of her Soul's powers to maintain the Draconic Records."
"She's not asleep at all times." I told them. "In special occasions, she will wake up and even speak directly with someone, in very special occasions though. Also, it seems our mothers, the Primordial Dragons and direct daughters of Tiamat, can directly speak to her at any time. Anyways, I did tell you that Benladann managed to get a Chaos Dragon Realm in the Draconic Records, well, it was because we spoke about that with Tiamat and Benladann and convinced her to allow us to create the Realm."
"So that's how you did it!" Surtr said. "But why did she even give you a scale, doesn't she have like, not even a body anymore?" The young fire dragon asked me.
"She had it saved, apparently, this scale is enormous, you'll see. It is much bigger than even our basic dragon forms." I explained to the two. "Though, its quality is so high my system can't even decipher it. And to make things worse, how can we even process something so gigantic and indestructible? I had thought about armor, but armor won't really work well on us dragons. So naturally, I moved to a huge shield we can summon at will and channel its powers from."
"A shield would be nice…" Surtr said. "Maybe with Heavenly Smith and Rakasha's help, and also your powers, it could be possible! But Master Drake, why ask Emerald?"
"Yeah! I'm totally not that good at crafting at all!" Emerald complained.
"You're actually quite gifted at crafting, Emerald. The Divine Equipment you made for Tyrannus, the Lizardmen Warriors and even Amehia are all top notch. To make things even better, they possess an innate connection to your unique magical divine powers." I said. "Which was what allowed you to temporarily fuse with them back when we fought inside the dungeon, remember?"
"Right… When they channeled all their Divinities into the equipment, and I just felt a connection with my Heaven's Winds…" Emerald nodded, looking at his scaled hands, as emerald winds surged from them endlessly, sparkles of light coming from them. "The equipment I make is just my scales, fangs, or a claw that I just put together with some divine power though, is that really surprising or special?"
"Wait, you can just make equipment so easily?" Surtr wondered. "Yes, it's obviously special! You probably have some innate Alchemy Ability of sorts."
"Alchemy, right. Now that you remind me, that's a Divine Ability I wanted to learn, and I haven't yet. It could come in handy if combined with Blacksmithing…" I nodded. "System, can we learn that?"
[Of course. The [Divine Alchemy Arts (D)] Divine Ability is available for 50.000.000 Divine Power. It is a growth-type Divine Ability so you will need to constantly practice so you can upgrade its Rank.]
"Excellent, let's learn that. I will leave a few dozen Doppelgangers and many Slimes that'll share my Divine Abilities and I'll begin grinding them to upgrade them quicker." I said. "I already had a maxed Alchemy Skill I use to make all sorts of Elixirs, but I really needed an upgrade. There's the Magic Affinity for Alchemy too, at A Rank, not bad."
Ding!
[You have exchanged 50.000.000 Divine Power.]
[You learned the [Divine Alchemy Arts (D)] Divine Ability!]

It was pretty good right from the get-go, it reminded me of the Divine Blacksmithing Arts Divine Ability, which has already reached S Rank as well.
[Divine Blacksmithing (S)]
A Divine Ability tied with the user's experience and learning about the subject of Blacksmithing and its usage in various ways to create equipment and weapons, or even magical physical constructs. It comes with several Abilities which are unlocked over time with each Rank. This Divine Ability cannot be upgraded using Divine Power, and only through learning and progression.

S Rank: [Divine Treasure Processing] [Divine Blazing Smithy Domain]
----- If I combine these two Divine Abilities with what Surtr and Emerald have going, plus Rakasha's amazing talent, experience, and creation abilities, we should be able to get somewhere. Maybe I should also ask for the Ice Queen and that Fox woman's help. Though I feel they'll ask for something in return, perhaps a piece of the scale. Am I willing to give that away? I wonder.
First of all, we should try doing something ourselves before asking the Venerables for help.
