The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade
Nidavellir, in Norway, means the land of darkness.
Legend has it that the Dwarf King lived in the underground city of Nidavellir with a group of dwarves who were four or five meters tall.
However, as time passed and all the underground minerals were exhausted, they turned their attention to the stars in the galaxy.
A colossal Dyson Sphere encloses the entire core of the star.
This is what Lin Xu saw in Nidavellir.
"Greetings, Your Majesty's Envoy!"
Since Lin Xu was transported via the Bifrost and was still carrying Gungnir, the dwarven guards immediately knelt down to greet him upon discovering him.
Lin Xu looked up at the two dwarfs kneeling before him, speechless. "You're telling me, these are dwarfs?"
"Take me to see Eitri."
The guards, upon seeing the Asgard Royal Decree in Lin Xu's hand, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with horror, and began to clink their spears together.
Thump~
As a deep sound wave spread, the entire star ring trembled.
"Welcome~the~King's~Order~!"
"Welcome the King's Decree!!"
With technology like the Dyson Sphere, they're still using such primitive methods of communication—it's like Wakanda on the mystical side.
However, it must be said that this really has a high-class feel to it.
Ten minutes later, a group of tall dwarfs walked over in neat steps.
They were divided into two lines: on the left were strong male dwarves carrying the banner of Asgard, and on the right were strong female dwarves carrying the banner of Nidavellir. Eitri walked at the very back.
"Welcome the Royal Decree!!"
"Welcome the Royal Decree!!"
Damn it, Odin didn't say there would be such a big fuss. As a capitalist in America, what hasn't he seen?
He had never seen such a welcoming ceremony from a group of giants... dwarves before.
As an Earthling, Lin Xu couldn't afford to lose face, so he flew directly into the air and looked down at them.
Eitri Dwarf approached and looked closely at the Asgard Royal Decree in Lin Xu's hand.
After confirming that everything was correct, he spoke in Chinese: "May I ask what business Your Majesty has with me?"
You speak Chinese?
"Nidavellir once visited Kunlun and attempted to refine Qi into a vessel, but ultimately failed."
Lin Xu nodded, accepting this explanation. "I need a weapon, a weapon that resonates with my divine power."
"Does Your Majesty have any materials, or can we provide them?"
"Have!"
Lin Xu drew the Tyrant's Butcher Blade.
"Excellent! Uru Metal without Runes is very malleable!"
"Not one, but two."
"Ah?"
Seeing Lin Xu handed to him by Gungnir Xu, Eitri's mind went blank for a moment.
"Is the royal envoy serious?"
Would I joke with you?
"May I ask the name of the royal envoy?"
"Fengxian Borsen."
Glug~
Eitri was somewhat shocked upon hearing the name; it was the Asgard royal family, whom he had never heard of before.
As we all know, All-Father Odin of Asgard, is old and the change of the throne is imminent.
A few years ago Thor's coronation ceremony was interrupted midway, and he was demoted to Midgard. Although Thor was eventually reinstated as the God of Thunder, the matter of succession was left unresolved.
As far as Eitri knows, Loki died fighting the Dark Elves, and the war-mongering Hela was sealed away by Odin, with no one knowing when she will see the light of day again.
Could this person be the new king?
After glancing again at Gungnir and the Asgard Royal Decree, Eitri fell silent, unsure if this was Odin's intention.
But he wanted to take a gamble, and with the imperial decree right in front of him, he had no reason to disobey.
"As the king commands!"
"Does Your Majesty have any designs of weapons you wish to acquire?"
"Have!"
Lin Xu took out a blueprint, on which was drawn a long spear with a rounded body and cloud patterns carved on it. The spear blade was thick and three-pronged, with a long point and a short fork.
Eitri's eyes lit up. "Great gun!"
"Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade!"
"Huh? Isn't this a gun? Why is it called a knife?"
"... Never mind that."
Earth, a country in North Africa
"Captain, all armed personnel have been subdued, and a total of 28 civilians have been rescued. The anti-government forces are expected to arrive in 10 minutes."
"Too little time, Wanda, where are you?"
"The road is difficult to travel; it will take at least another 20 minutes."
"Sam, lure them away!"
"Understood. Hopefully, they don't have surface-to-air firepower."
"Captain, how about..."
"No! Wanda, they are just ordinary people."
"Okay~"
Ta-da!
Just then, a burst of rousing music started playing, and Captain America, who was still evacuating civilians, paused for a moment.
He slowly took out an old-fashioned flip phone with a full charge from his pocket. This phone only had one number saved in it, and this number had only been given to one person.
"Sam, Wanda, let's finish this quickly... Tony needs us!"
New Jersey
"Chief, Phil Coulson requests to return to the team!"
"Coulson, from today onwards, S.H.I.E.L.D.. is in your hands."
"Yes... no, huh?"
Seeing Coulson's somewhat bewildered expression, Nick Fury rubbed his eyes.
"To deal with extraterrestrial crises, I will send most of my personnel to space to establish the first line of defense. The Earth's interior will depend on you."
More than half a year ago, he listened to Lin Xu and stole Christine's body, but less than two hours later, Christine's body disappeared.
Lin Xu's explanation at the time was that Christine was the reincarnation of a Mad Titan mother, a claim he didn't quite believe at the time. (Chapter 7)
Until two weeks ago, the Skrulls leader Talos delivered information about the Mad Titan to him.
Grandpa Kronos, correct.
Mother Susan, correct.
Titan was destroyed, that's correct.
Cosmic Carnage, correct!
The Chitauri were the masterminds behind the Battle of New York, correct.
The only uncertainty now is whether Christine is the reincarnation of Susan.
But he dared not gamble!
Knock knock~
"Enter!"
Daisy entered and saw Coulson, her face instantly lighting up with a smile. This was her mentor, the one who had introduced her to the profession, except that she was now at level ten, while Coulson was still at level nine...
"Director..."
"It's alright. Starting today, Coulson's access level will be raised to level ten. Just say what you need."
"Okay, just now, Wakanda shipped out a batch of Vibranium. The person who received it was Happy, Stark's security chief, and the Winter Soldier was also with them."
"Also, the 'Prophet's' signal was received this morning! Right here in Lin Xu Park."
"Lin Xu Park?"
"Oh, Stark bought all the houses around 'The Prophet' and put them under 'The Prophet's' name. The entire villa area was then named Lin Xu Park."
Nick: I'll fucking fight you rich guys!!
Is there anything else?
"A message came from Agent 19: Barton went out this afternoon with his bow and arrows and hasn't returned yet." (In the comics, Hawkeye's wife is Agent 19 of S.H.I.E.L.D.., Barbara Morse, codename Mockingbird.)
Lin Xu, Stark, Vibranium, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye...
Upon hearing these names, Nick quickly connected them, and the source was very likely Lin Xu!
It seems the Mad Titan story is true. Lin Xu has never interfered with the future he knew before; this is the first time!
