Old Man, You Think You Can Outplay Me?

You know what, you really shouldn't say it!

Although it sounds like the Imperium is constantly embroiled in war and fighting everywhere, they are tough as nails!

As a ruler himself, Odin had a broader perspective than most people and was able to keenly perceive that the Imperium Alvin spoke of was exceptionally powerful!

Like last time, the Asgard army could probably destroy the vast Asgard in just two or three wars!

However, in the eyes of the Imperium, a battle of this magnitude was merely a trivial "minor matter"!

Does this also indirectly illustrate that the Imperium's territory, population, and resources were so vast that...?

Even he, the God King, could hardly have imagined such a situation; otherwise, how could he have sustained the drain of resources from these repeated wars?

"I—need to think about it." Odin frowned, a hint of interest flashing in his deep-set eyes.

But his cautious nature, typical of a shrewd and ambitious man, made him decide to reconsider. "Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll think it over carefully and give you a reasonable answer later."

"Of course, Your Majesty the God King."

Alvin wasn't in a hurry. He nodded and smiled, "I can assure you that whichever path you ultimately choose, I will support you. In the name of Valshius, I will never break my oath."

This was his promise.

He, Alvin, may often lie, play dirty tricks, and make empty promises, but this is towards enemies, not friends.

In the world of the Boys, those people were never good people to begin with, so Alvin naturally wouldn't bother with any morals or ethics with them.

But Odin and Asgard truly did provide him with a lot of help, something Alvin always remembered.

Therefore, this is what he truly felt.

Regardless of whether Odin ultimately chooses to join the Imperium or, as originally planned, seeks refuge for the Asgard in the Marvel universe, he respects their choice.

Seemingly sensing the sincerity in his eyes, Odin's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. "Hmph, at least you have some conscience. My initial investment in you wasn't in vain."

"As a businessman, I'm simply proposing trade arrangements that are more beneficial to both sides, based on conditions of equality," Alvin chuckled.

It cannot be denied that he has indeed been eyeing the Asgard.

After all, according to the research of the Grand Sage Carroll, the physical constitution of Asgard far surpasses that of other humans.

This includes humans in the Warhammer Universe whose genes have undergone tremendous changes.

Even without any training, the physical condition of Asgard adult is comparable to that of a battle-hardened Astra Militarum.

The army of the divine realm is even comparable to the elite Stormtrooper of the Imperium of Man!

It's not hard to imagine what a formidable fighting force these naturally gifted Asgard would become after undergoing efficient training!

If the Space Marine bio-implantation technology could be further improved based on the Asgard physique, it would surely astound even the legendary Grand Sage, Cawl!

The only pity is...

Since the expansion of Space Marine's organization and recruitment began, the number of their Gene Seed has been severely insufficient, including various biological implants, Power Armor, and so on.

"If only we had the technology of the 'Aggressive Raven Guard'." Thinking of this, Alvin couldn't help but feel a little envious of this lost legendary technology.

"What Aggressive Raven Guard?" Odin was a little confused upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing."

Alvin shook his head.

Thinking about it carefully, I'd better forget about it. Even if it were possible, he wouldn't dare use it given the potential risks of this technology.

It is far greater than the temporary benefits gained.

Unless, of course, they are facing a desperate situation, like the Primarch of the Lord of the Legion, Raven Guard, Kor'vash obtained forbidden technology from the Emperor in order to quickly restore the Legion's organization.

In a very short period of time, a legion that had been almost completely wiped out was quickly restored to its original form.

The core of this technology lies in its ability to allow Space Marine to access the Warp Essence. What would normally take a long time, the implanted bio-modified organs, all grow within the body, greatly shortening the time it takes for Space Marine to be born. Moreover, the strength of each "Aggressive Raven Guard" is almost always far superior to that of their brothers.

But the fate of these people was also extremely tragic.

They were personally sent to a battlefield where they were doomed by the Lord of Raven Guard, and even the surviving warriors were secretly imprisoned and executed.

This is because these people harbor a huge hidden danger that even the Lord of Raven Guard considers extremely dangerous!

I'm afraid there might be another "grand birthday celebration"!

This time, there's no Prime Minister Ma, nor is there the Emperor Lord, and there's only one Golden Throne, so Alvin doesn't want to compete with the Emperor Lord for it.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the esteemed and majestic God King, I have another matter I hope you can help me with." Seeing that Alvin seemed to be in a good mood, Odin pressed his advantage and said with a grin.

"Besides?!"

Odin's hard-won good mood was instantly ruined, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

He glared at her, his beard bristling. "I knew it! You're up to no good! What are you plotting now?"

"Ahem, how could I possibly have designs on you?"

Alvin fully embraced the spirit of "the more shameless, the better": "We'll be family from now on, so helping each other out is only natural, isn't it?"

"This is family with you?!" Odin gritted his teeth in anger; he was lucky to be healthy, otherwise he would have fainted from rage. "Speak, what else is there?"

"I'd like to borrow a few people from you," Alvin said.

"Who?"

Odin frowned. "Thor? Loki?"

"No, no, no, it's not them." Alvin shook his head, then said, "It's the Dwarves. I have some metal here; I hope they can help me forge a batch of armor."

If Asgard's conquest of the Nine Realms was due to the sacrifices of the God King and countless warriors, then the Dwarves undoubtedly deserve much credit for it!

The Dwarves' exquisite forging skills enabled the Asgard army to roam the Nine Realms and allowed Odin to forge his throne as the God King.

Odin's artifact Gungnir, Thor's early Mjolnir, his Power Gauntlets, and later Stormbreaker, the artifact that almost Thanos, were all made by the Dwarves.

Products made by dwarves are guaranteed to be of the highest quality!

Alvin had long coveted the Dwarves's forging techniques. Now that he had finally found "Adamantium," how could he not ask the Dwarves for help?

It should be noted that even for a wise emperor like Emperor, the armor of the Demon King's Adeptus Custodes Guard was forged by a mysterious clan.

Their skills are so advanced that even the Martian Mechanicus would have to admit defeat!

How much do you want?

This time, Odin readily agreed.

The Dwarves are allied with Asgard, which is important, but for Alvin, an ally, giving up a few is not a big deal.

"Not much, four or five hundred will do!"

Alvin casually gave a number.

"What?!" Odin's eyes widened as he roared, "Are you going to wipe out the entire Dwarves? Impossible!"

I'll give you a maximum of fifty!

"That's too few, my project is huge." Alvin bargained, "One hundred, at least one hundred!"

"Okay, deal!"

Odin immediately agreed, as if afraid the other party would change his mind, a sly glint in his eyes.

Alvin's lips twitched.

He'd been tricked again! That old man had actually schemed against him!
