The Spear Is Forged

With the Ego incident resolved, Yondu took his own savings and went with Star-Lord to Sovereign to apologize.

As for Rocket, the culprit behind this incident, everyone unanimously decided not to bring him, not out of protectiveness, but because they were afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would steal again...

Everyone knows this guy is capable of doing it.

Drax was taking care of the resting Mantis, Gamora was dealing with Nebula's challenge, and in the end, only Rocket and Groot followed Lin Xu to Nidavellir.

The person in charge of reception was still the 2.9-meter-tall Aiweng.

"Shit, you're telling me this is a dwarf?"

"Ai~ Anmu~ Groot ~"

Groot, you're swearing again!

"Wow, it's not surprising that the descendants of the Flora Colossus can talk, but you, a rabbit, can actually talk!"

With a look of amazement, Aiweng asked, "Your Majesty, are they your pets?"

Rocket:...

"Cough cough..."

"Ai~ Anmu~ Groot ~" Without Lin Xu needing to explain, Groot climbed directly onto Aiweng's lap and kept patting him.

"Oh, if it's not, it's not! Why are you swearing at me!"

"Can you understand what he's saying?"

"Your Majesty, because of my short stature, I can't do many tasks and can only be responsible for reception. But there are too many races in the universe, so I had no choice but to learn more, about five thousand kinds."

Tsk, those working-class people are both pitiful and awesome.

"Rocket, what are you doing?"

This time, Lin Xu called the name correctly, but the Rockets would rather not have called it that.

Seeing that Aiweng was also looking over, Rocket smiled sheepishly, took out a slightly rusty gun barrel from his pants, and put it back on the display shelf.

"It's alright, take it. They're just leftover defective products from making weapons for Asgard soldiers, they're not worth much."

"It's a defective product, oh well, never mind."

"Alright, just say what you want. The High Evolutionary doesn't interfere here, no need to sneak around."

Upon hearing Lin Xu's words, Rocket Raccoon froze. Many people knew he was a test subject, after all, he had a chip with a serial number inside his body, but few knew where he came from. He had always kept this matter to himself, but he never expected it to be said outright.

"You..."

"I know a lot, and not just this."

"He..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"You..."

I can't read minds.

Rocket:???

And so, Rocket began his learning journey in Nidavellir, where he was fascinated by the scientific forging methods and the unscientific rune inscription.

He decided that after studying here, he would definitely revamp the spaceship.

With Groot by his side, Lin Xu no longer felt bored. Every day, he would do three things: convert divine power, practice Mystic Arts, and play video games with Groot.

More than a month passed quickly.

Eitri invited Lin Xu to the forging furnace, his expression solemn.

"Royal Envoy!"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the rune's wear-off?"

"No, the rune attenuation was successful. I'm planning to fuse it with the double-edged sword you brought."

"So what are you doing?"

"Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

Eitri pointed at the dismantled Tyrant's Butcher Blade, his eyes filled with doubt.

"I've never seen this knife before, but its internal structure is Nidavellir's work, which is very strange. And since it's made of Uru Metal, why isn't it engraved with Runes?"

Hearing Eitri's words, Lin Xu was also somewhat puzzled.

The Tyrant's Butcher Blade's Blade has only appeared in movies and the "What If...?" series, and its origin has not been officially explained. Many netizens speculate that it was used in conjunction with the Infinity Gauntlet. (Gamora, who fought alongside Dark Strange against Infinity Ultron, was wielding the Tyrant's Butcher Blade.)

But the timing doesn't match up. This sword was brought by Thanos in 2014. If Odin hadn't died, Thanos couldn't have forced Nidavellir.

The only explanation is that the year 2014, when they went to find the gem, might be some kind of mutant universe.

"Alright, I obtained this knife by chance, and I don't know its origin. Just melt it down."

"Good."

While Uru Metal is indeed indestructible on a physical level, Nidavellir's Star Forge is an ancient artifact that can melt any weapon, regardless of its appearance, as long as it doesn't have runes inscribed on it.

Eitri removed the handle of Gungnir's spear and threw the spearhead, along with the two blades of the Tyrant's Butcher Blade, into the furnace.

As the star's rings rotated, the star's energy rushed into the furnace through the energy-gathering holes, and in just a moment, the spearhead and blade turned into crimson molten lava.

Eitri took the mold inscribed with Runes and poured the molten lava into it.

"Royal messenger, infuse divine power!"

Lin Xu did as instructed, and the same crimson divine power was applied to the mold. The runes emitted bursts of white light under the stimulation of the divine power.

Lin Xu stopped once all the runes turned red.

"Did it work?"

"It's done!"

Upon hearing Eitri's words, Lin Xu couldn't wait any longer and slapped the mold with his palm.

A long, silver-white spear appeared before everyone's eyes.

The spear is nine feet long (2.08 meters), the handle is seven feet long and decorated with cloud patterns, the blade is two feet long, and the fork is more than four inches long.

"Your Majesty, this weapon, like Gungnir, is a weapon of the God-King. It can summon the Bifrost, change form, and possesses indestructible properties on a physical level. Furthermore..."

"What?"

"Based on your divine power, this weapon should have other abilities as well; you'll need to investigate them yourself."

What are we waiting for!

Without saying a word, Lin Xu picked up the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, and suddenly a realization dawned on him; he already knew its characteristics.

A characteristic that is completely incompatible with weapons.

Favorable Weather and Good Harvests!

Sure enough, although he converted to Western divine power, his characteristics were still very Chinese. After all, that place doesn't support idle gods; you have to be useful.

Moreover, the Favorable Weather and Good Harvests is not just a literal meaning, but more like a blessing.

In ordinary households, this would Favorable Weather and Good Harvests; in sects or powerful organizations, it could suppress fortune, somewhat like a beggar's version of the Taiji Diagram symbol, Pangu Banner, and Qingping Sword.

Lin Xu gripped the spear, twirled it a couple of times, and then looked ahead at a 45-degree angle.

Yeah, he's really handsome!

The weapon issue is resolved, so it's time to leave. As for Nidavellir's safety, there's no rush now. Odin is still alive, and Thanos won't be coming for the time being.

"Little raccoon, do you want to go to Earth to see your kind?"

"No, I plan to study here for a while longer." Rocket had gotten used to Lin Xu's varied ways of addressing him and just ignored it after spending time together.

"Okay, Groot, what about you?"

"Ai~ Anmu~ Groot ~"

"I'm afraid that won't work. The distance is too far, and the signal can't be transmitted. For now, you'll have to play alone."

See you all in a year!

"Respectfully seeing off the royal envoy!!"

With a dazzling beam of seven-colored light, Lin Xu returned to his most loyal Kamar-Taj.

The Ancient One had been waiting for him at the training ground for quite some time.

"Excellent weapon! More than enough to suppress the fortune of Kamar-Taj!"

"This is mine!"

"Too slow~"

"What?"

"What I mean is, your progress is too slow. With less than 20% of your divine power converted, if you face him a year from now without outside help, you'll be dead for sure!"

"Then..."

"Foreign aid is just foreign aid; true strength comes from your own efforts. That thing you have isn't just for show. Go for it, just don't get stopped again."
