Chapter 51: The Man Above the "Mandate of Heaven".
"Baglin! Briviv! Push harder, give me some strength to fight for wine! β
The red-bearded dwarf Gimli, bathed in the flames of the Star Ring Furnace, has a voice that can be heard throughout Nidavil.
The two dwarves who were yelled at by their names blushed and knocked down the crucible of the furnace, which was almost the same height, and the molten metal inside slowly flowed down the groove, and hundreds of dwarves around them repeated the same movements, busy all over the ring.
"Gimli, are you sure this thing can be done? Odin is on top - uh, should we call it 'Howlett is on top' now? β
The dwarf Baglin wiped his sweaty face and said in a rough voice, halfway through his words, he hesitantly bumped into Breviv, who was taller than the other dwarves.
The dwarven race, which had been used as a name for recognizing and accepting the rule of the Aesir Divine Race for tens of thousands of years, had suddenly changed, and they were not used to it for a while.
"That's what Attri is doing with that weird human, Uru Metal, Primordial Vibranium, and this treasure called Edman Alloy made by the Midgards! If it does, the dwarves will be able to forge weapons that even the Storm Tomahawk and the Eternal Spear can't match! β
The red-bearded dwarf Gimli held his oak-barrel-like belly in both hands, shouting as he looked sideways in the direction of the core furnace of the ring.
Dr. Myron McLean, a master of metal materials whose knees and body has been replaced by many tissues and limb structures, dances his arms like a humanoid arthropod insect.
McLean's red-glowing electron eyes stared at the several super metals that melted and merged under the high temperature of the stellar core, refining and operating with the dwarf king Attri.
This metal fanatic, who has followed James for more than half a century, has developed the Erdman alloy and various derived alloys based on vibranium, just like the dwarves were obsessed with the Uru rune metal that had only been in the hands of the Aesir for tens of thousands of years, just like the dwarves when they saw Sirius.
When James Howlett ordered the dwarves to forge the strongest "weapon" for him, Dr. McLean came up with the idea of fusing and forging multiple super metals.
With the combined efforts of the family science team and the Nidawile Dwarves, the greatest artisan race in the universe, they finally fused Uru magic metal, the hardest Edelman alloy, primordial vibranium with super energy absorption and wide applicability, and other substances to create a new superalloy.
A mysterious substance named "god-killing metal" by James.
"Your 'king' is the craziest man I have ever met, and it's no wonder that a bunch of crazy people follow him."
The dwarf king Etrian looked at the stellar furnace, burned himself all his flesh and blood, leaving only a supernatural skeleton, and jumped into the furnace, and James seemed to understand a lot about McLean, the "blacksmith" who transformed himself into a half-flesh and half-mechanical monster.
"Hahahaha! Dwarven King, get to work, Mr. Howlett is ready, now it's time to see how your 'craft' goes! β
Dr. McLean's mechanical voice was hoarse and harsh.
He looked at the core furnace of Nidaviler's Star Ring, which had been refined and remained liquid in tens of thousands of degrees of heat, and his eyes were fascinated by the dark silver metal that constantly radiated moonlight.
Not only McKellen, but even the dwarf king Attri, who had cast many artifacts, suppressed his excitement, and saw the tall skeleton burning with golden flames nodding at him, and the two flames in his empty eyes were like eyes.
"The new masters of the Nine Kingdoms! The one who has severed the shackles of fate in Ragnarok, the King of the Dwarves has forged for you with the supreme glory of the Emperor's weapon! β
Rumble!
As Atri screamed and pressed down the lever, the bound dying star nucleus exploded with a fiery heat that belonged to the center of the sun.
A waterfall of metal, as bright as the Milky Way, poured over James's head, and the solution of "god-killing gold" slowly descended from the top of his skull, enveloping his bones inch by inch.
The Dwarven King picked up the giant forging hammer beside him, and under the watchful eyes of the Sirius legions around the furnace, the five-meter-tall figure held a huge hammer like a hut and smashed it down on the dark silver skeleton that was burning with the eternal fire!
Bang! Bang! Bang.
James didn't dodge the sledgehammer that Atriol had slashed in, he seemed to be restricted from moving by the metal that was gradually beginning to solidify, like a sculpture frozen in place.
As the hammer slammed into the top of the skull, the "World Tree", which connected the nine kingdoms and several star clusters, was lit up among the endless galaxy, as if the silver light and golden flames that flowed straight down from the end of the universe blended together.
With the heavy hammer that the Dwarven King smashed down on his body, new "Rune Runes" emerged from the dark silver metal skeleton.
The new runes, which have some traces of the original Lune script, add a bit of Huaxia delineation, and each symbol radiates a dazzling white light, covering every inch of the skeleton.
The god-killing metal that engulfs all of James' bones is extremely delicate and penetrates deep along the veins and pores of the bones at the microscopic level, like a layer of clothing that wraps around the skin but does not affect the ventilation.
The pure dead thing was given some kind of new life by the eternal fire, extending forward from the forearm, and the six claw blades pierced from the fist bone became thicker and sharper, and the fine runes were all over it, completely forged into a weapon that could kill the gods.
"Rainbow Bridge - Listen to Me - Command!"
Airplanes.
The dark silver skeleton raised its right claw high, its jaws opening and closing up and down emitted a low, magnetic sound of James, and a rainbow bridge of light as vast as a river crossed the starry space, along with the continents of Jotunheim and Asgard, and after a moment it flickered and disappeared.
"Whew"
The figure bathed in rainbow-colored light and eternal flame slowly walked out, and James, whose flesh and skin had returned to its original state, was surrounded by a mist of light like smoke and dust.
The corners of his mouth twitched, as if chanting a word, and then the flames rose and swirled, and a silver and black armor covered his body, just as Thor often wielded the power of thunder to forge armor for himself.
"Dwarf King Attri, yes. I am very satisfied with your blacksmithing skills. β
Bang!
Atri suddenly fell down on one knee with a muffled sound like thunder.
The dwarves who had acknowledged, but did not accept the rule of the Aesir Protoss, followed Atre to their knees, and the entire Nidavel Ring was still sprinkled with starlight due to James's presence.
"The limit of the dwarven forging artifact has been broken today, Etrei does not know how powerful this weapon will reach, maybe the body of the 'Celestial' will be as fragile as an egg under your claws, Mr. Howlett, may your power not only bring destruction, but also salvation to all things in the universe"
At this moment, apart from James himself, even the dwarf king who forged it didn't know what kind of divine power this bone-based, artifact was both human and human, and human was divine weapon.
The dwarven king's words were the same as the last plea of the Queen of Frigga that day, not only full of humility, but more like a point of concern.
James nodded as if in understanding, and as his mind turned, the Rainbow Bridge ran beneath the Sirius starship.
"The promise I left to the Nine Kingdoms is peace and freedom, Thanos is likely to find this place as well, he also needs a weapon that can kill me, for your safety, the dwarves will leave Nidavelle with me for the time being, the human world, welcome to you."
As soon as the words fell, the hundreds of dwarves scattered all over the ring, as well as the gathered Sirius legions and starships, were all overwhelmed by the waterfall of light from the Rainbow Bridge, and after a few seconds, they all disappeared with the light bridge projected into the end of the star.
Suddenly there was no sound in Nidavel, only a large array of giant runes imprinted on the ground, leaving traces of belonging to the "New God Clan".
Far away on the continent of Asgard, at the other end of the "World Tree", the rainbow bridge, which had not appeared for a long time, was once again projected in front of the door of the Golden Palace.
The Asgardians, who were rebuilding their homes around the palace, looked at Heimdall standing with his sword in his hand on a tower, but he could see that the glamorous bridge of light was not summoned by the gatekeeper of the Divine Domain.
After the rainbow light fell, a giant with bruised skin and Saul Odinson, who was covered in bruises and had lost one of his eyes, fell in place.
It seems that because of leaving Jotunheim, Loki gradually changed back to his original form under the influence of the God's Domain Continent and his own magic.
He put his brother on his shoulders, and in front of the crowd that separated, the queen of Frigga strode with her skirt in her arms, hugged her two sons and kissed them on the foreheads one by one.
"Loki, Thor, my child, thank you to Your Majesty Howlett, who is a man of his word, for giving you back to me."
"Mother. You call that humanβ"
Thor returned to the continent of Asgard and felt the power gradually fill his body again, and the chains that had been condensed by the power of the Eternal Flame and the World Tree slowly dissipated from his flesh and blood.
The natural power of thunder is back to Thor.
Frigga let out a long breath, she caressed the corner of Thor's forehead with lost pupils in distress, and then looked at Loki, who was still a little uncomfortable on his face, and said softly:
"You know that, don't you? James Howlett conquered the Nine Realms like the previous Aesir kings, and we are no longer the rulers and guardians of the Nine Kingdoms, but the Asgardians are forever free from the curse of Ragnarok. β
I can no longer see any traces of fate, and what that man has to do may be more unattainable than the 'Mandate of Heaven'."
On the tower, he could faintly listen and sense the movement of everything in the universe, and Heimdall silently grasped the "Key of the Rainbow Bridge" that had lost his divine light.
He foresaw a war that would affect the entire universe and even the wider world, but the Asgardians, the former "Protoss", had completely withdrawn from the most exciting and gorgeous stage in this world.
