However, contemplating the meaning of it all was clearly not suitable at the moment.
Arthur realized he had completely become this person named "Kaiper Eddie"!
He was a successful businessman with a happy family and a beautiful wife. Life was very good, and he even had a lovely son.
But as his son grew, troubles began to arise.
Their father-son relationship was strained. Due to a lack of good communication, they began to misunderstand each other.
As the son grew up, this strained relationship led to frequent arguments.
Moreover, the son was reckless, and Eddie's assets began to shrink. Eventually, due to the son's deceit, he lost the entire company.
By the time Eddie was nearly sixty, he went bankrupt, and the car had passed through several collectors before ending up in Tony's hands.
At this point, Arthur realized that although he experienced Eddie's perspective, once the car changed hands, his view shifted to the car itself. He saw the car's various experiences and eventually even saw Tony and himself.
It was only when he saw himself that Arthur suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes to find he was still in that room in Asgard, the Disassembler was still in front of him, and the colorless energy inside him was being consumed rapidly.
"Damn it!"
Coming to his senses, Arthur's first thought was to use colorless crystals to replenish his energy.
But at that moment, as Eddie's life experiences, wisdom, business strategies, and various pieces of information surged into Arthur's mind, he was struck by a force that directly affected his willpower!
"Required item 3: Unwavering Will!"
Arthur suddenly understood the third requirement, diving into a meditative state, holding onto that flicker of inspiration, and standing firm against the storm!
This turmoil didn't last long. After a few seconds, Arthur found his mental energy significantly improved!
At the same time, he gained many business strategies in his mind.
Although these strategies seemed outdated at the moment, it still made Arthur realize: "So… this is the significance!"
Such experiences not only taught him various things but also helped his mental energy grow.
"For the Disassembler, this is a significant upgrade!"
Arthur suddenly had an epiphany: "And for me, this is also a test! If I can't pass it, the Disassembler upgrade will fail, and I will be stuck!"
Instead of feeling fear, his resolve strengthened!
He took a deep breath, grabbed a handful of colorless crystals, and crushed them.
At this moment, ignoring everything else, Arthur crushed the crystals one by one. As his internal energy overflowed, he once again fell into that dazed state…
…
…
There were a total of twelve people!
Arthur felt as if he had lived twelve different lives!
Different people, different personalities, different professions, different experiences, different endings!
And each contained different knowledge!
Each time he experienced a person's life, his perspective would shift when the "car" changed hands.
When he saw himself, everything would disappear.
Then, his mind would be bombarded by a storm of mental assault!
The intensity of this assault increased with each experience, becoming fiercer and more frenzied each time.
This wasn't because the residual spirits of these people were stronger, but because Arthur's mind became increasingly fatigued with each experience.
Although his mental energy had grown, the exhaustion was a real and tangible burden on him.
The strain of constantly adapting to new things and knowledge was wearing him down.
At the same time, Arthur was most distressed by the consumption of his colorless energy.
Each experience drained an unimaginable amount of colorless energy. It was unclear whether this consumption affected him directly or the Disassembler. Arthur couldn't be certain.
At this moment, Arthur was experiencing the life of the last person.
This person had a unique profession: He was an Adventurer...
He rode a motorcycle, traversing various traps in search of secrets, lost cultures, unique civilizations, or valuable treasures.
He mastered history, was agile, and had exceptional survival skills in the wild.
However, in the end, he died during an adventure.
The motorcycle was taken back by his companions, and his body remained forever in the endless abyss.
His companions meticulously maintained the motorcycle until they finally aged and the motorcycle was passed on. After several transfers, it ended up in Tony's hands.
Arthur knew this was the final test!
Taking a deep breath, he kept his mind clear while countless pieces of knowledge, common sense, insights, and theories began to assault his consciousness.
It was like a storm and a tsunami, like hellfire!
Perhaps due to the nature of the last person's profession, his residual spirit was exceptionally strong. After enduring exhaustion, the flicker of inspiration in Arthur's mind could be extinguished at any moment.
"No way!!!"
Arthur used all his strength, gritting his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, eyes tightly shut!
"Earth, Loki… Ultron, Thanos!"
Arthur decided to focus on the crises he would face to motivate himself.
In fact, it was effective; his mental resilience improved somewhat.
But it still wasn't enough!
"Lily!!!!!!" Arthur suddenly opened his eyes and roared: "I'm hungry!!!!!!"
Noodles, hand-grabbed pancakes, meat-stuffed buns, dumpling soup... These things were simple but truly delicious!
Lily, though fierce, was really cute!
Although he never felt much belonging to this world, he realized... he truly belonged to this world!
"Because... this world now has a place for me!"
He took a deep breath, and the flicker of inspiration in his mind flared up again.
The storm ceased, the tsunami subsided, and everything returned to calm.
A warm current suddenly burst forth, filling every corner of his body.
The surging mental energy flowed, and the colorless energy overflowed. Arthur looked up at the Disassembler before him.
The old wear and tear was gone, and it looked brand new.
[Disassembler... Upgrade Complete!]
With this prompt, Arthur's mind relaxed instantly. Without making a sound, he collapsed.
The surrounding energy dissipated suddenly, and two figures appeared in the room.
Odin bent down, picked up Arthur, and placed him on the bed.
Frigga had a grave look on her face as she looked at him. With a wave of her hand, a golden light showered over him. After a moment, her expression was peculiar: "He... is just asleep."
