NOVEL WEB Chapter 86: Chapter 86
Kurohane, Rocket, and a gradually recovering Thor set off. This time, the trio didn't bother with a spaceship. Instead, they opted to use the Rainbow Bridge directly. One of Stormbreaker's abilities was to summon and utilize the Rainbow Bridge.
Kurohane was actually quite concerned about Thor's mental state and even used Holy Energy to flush the alcohol from his system. But Thor still looked as though he were suffering from alcohol poisoning, his eyes glazed, and his whole demeanor seemed off. So, in front of all the Avengers, Kurohane lifted Mjolnir. Then, he struck Thor with his hammer, unleashing a massive surge of energy that jolted Thor awake! Thor's fear of electricity was one of Kurohane's favorite Marvel scenes!
When Thor rose from the ground, black smoke wafting off him, he rubbed his eyes vigorously. But seeing how obediently Mjolnir rested in Kurohane's hand, he was still somewhat bewildered! The other Avengers had also participated in the hammer-lifting contest. Back then, everyone except Natasha had tried it. In the end, besides Vision, who had the Mind Stone in his head and could lift it, no one else was capable. What Kurohane had just done was truly eye-catching!
"Why are you all staring at me? It's just Thor's Hammer, not a particularly special weapon. I could easily find one or two more for you, believe me?"
Kurohane was a bit uncomfortable with the Avengers' gazes, then he placed Mjolnir into Steve's hand.
Steve: (thinking hard). I'm innocent! I already knew I could lift this hammer before! But for Thor's sake, I pretended I couldn't! However, Thor's hammer was destroyed by Hela. When I heard the news, my heart almost shattered! I woke up in the middle of the night from a dream, and my pillow was wet. I've even practiced my moves! Now that Kurohane has just exposed it, it won't be too surprising when my ace card technique is revealed! How am I supposed to show off now!
Kurohane was very satisfied with Steve's current expression, then he took Mjolnir back from Steve's hand. He looked around, and finally handed it to Black Widow.
Black Widow: (surprised, then feeling a strange sensation). So I can lift it too? This is what it feels like to be filled with energy throughout your body, this feeling is just too great!
But before Black Widow could fully experience it, Kurohane took Mjolnir back. Then he tossed it into the air and spread his hands towards everyone.
"Do you all believe me now? Don't be surprised by this kind of thing. Thor's Hammer is just a magical weapon. If it were truly that powerful, then simply pressing it onto Thanos would be enough to win this war!"
After Kurohane finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately grew cold. Of course, the one who suffered the most was Thor. His life had been accompanied by various losses: his sister, his parents, his friends, his lover. And Asgard, the place he grew up, and of course, his beloved Mjolnir. When his sister destroyed it, his heart had already died! Now he had despaired three more times, and his mental state was even worse than when he was poisoned by alcohol!
"Hey, Banner, help me, I need to place an order with the factory!" Tony keenly sensed the awkwardness in the atmosphere and immediately found an excuse to sneak away.
"Barton, have you eaten? Want to go to the kitchen and make some sandwiches?"
"Haven't eaten. You take care of the sandwiches, I'll fry the eggs."
"Then I'll fry the bacon..."
Before long, half the people in the hall had left, leaving it looking sparse. Kurohane looked helplessly at Rocket, then placed Mjolnir into Thor's hand.
"Rocket, let's just take the spaceship! This guy's a bit quiet now. I'll find time to give him some psychological counseling on the way, and he'll be fine!"
Rocket: (glaring at Kurohane). Aren't you the reason Thor was pulled down? Giving the disease and the cure, you'd make a fortune if you opened a clinic!
Kurohane and his group of three headed towards Nidavellir, while the other Avengers began to prepare for war with renewed vigor. Nebula was securely locked in the base's basement. Given the color of her armor, it was safe to assume no pervert would assault her at night, at least not come out with a face full of positive marks.
As for Kurohane, he also gained some long-lost freedom. In the 2023 timeline, his personality, which tolerated no imperfections, was firmly established, and his whole being began to exude a 'Sha Diao' aura from the inside out. He hadn't yet created the Angel appearance in this world, so he was quite relaxed. Of course, it might also be an issue with this spaceship. The Guardians of the Galaxy were all silly people. He didn't know where the root of the problem lay, but Star-Lord's spaceship was definitely involved!
Using his Telepathy ability, Kurohane quickly helped Thor regain his condition. Actually, he didn't do anything else, just fabricated a memory for Thor. It was all because of his fat that he was pressed to the ground and rubbed by Thanos, who didn't even have an Infinity Stone. Although he learned from last time not to target the head, every one of his moves was aimed at Thanos's head, yet in the end, he was still severely injured by three blows and kicked to the ground.
When the Guardians of the Galaxy's spaceship arrived at Nidavellir, Thor had been doing push-ups for half an hour. Of course, this amount of exercise was nothing to him, not even reaching a warm-up level. But it also released a good message, which was that Thor had recovered from the mindset of a strong man. He consciously began to want to become stronger!
Nidavellir's Dyson Sphere was now operating normally, and there were still a few dwarfs forging something on it. Calling Thanos a butcher was not wrong at all, but he was a principled butcher. No matter which planet he carried out a massacre on, he always killed half of the life each time.
So when Thor and Rocket came here to forge Stormbreaker before, there were actually still half of the dwarf race left. It was just that they were either hiding or had fled. Coupled with Thanos's snap five years ago, the already few dwarf race suffered even more. Now there were probably around seventy or eighty in total. In short, it was quite difficult to recover the race.
As for why there was only the Dwarf King in the movie, it was actually because the special effects were too expensive. Having the Dwarf King to make up the numbers was enough to let Thor forge Stormbreaker!
After the trio met the Dwarf King, the Dwarf King Eitri extended his cruel iron hand to show that he couldn't help. To prevent him from forging another Infinity Gauntlet, Thanos directly put the Dwarf King's hands into the Uru metal forge. He crushed the Dwarf King's hands, making him unable to create magnificent sacred artifacts like the Infinity Gauntlet anymore. At best, he was forced to forge axes or hammers, but even for Stormbreaker, he couldn't even attach a handle!
Kurohane scratched his head, thinking since he had come all this way, he should definitely exploit them more!
"Let's make a deal," Kurohane began, his tone confident. "I'll heal your hand, and you make me an Infinity Gauntlet."
The Dwarf King Eitri's eyes widened. "As long as you can heal my hand, what good is a gauntlet? I'll make you a full set of body armor!"
"You said it! No regrets!" Kurohane quickly responded, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Kurohane formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and the Eye of Agamotto on his chest emitted a dazzling green light!
