Seven days later.
With a tremendous peal of thunder, Thor's Thunderstrike Axe was freshly forged.
It lacked a handle made from Groot's branch, but it had been replaced with an even sturdier metal material.
Thor gripped the Thunderstrike Axe and raised it high toward the sky. In an instant, the clear heavens were covered in countless fine, scattered bolts of lightning.
King Eitri watched the scene with great excitement. After days of studying the Chaos Particles, he had truly elevated the quality of the Thunderstrike Axe by a significant margin.
"Thank you." He handed the Chaos Sword to Hong Fei and offered his sincere gratitude.
Hong Fei smiled and nodded. The sword transformed into particles and flowed into his body.
Watching this, Eitri licked his lips and said enviously, "This unusual form must come from some exceptionally unique material, right?"
"Yes."
The three Mother Boxes representing New Genesis's greatest technological achievements were certainly unique enough.
Nearby, Thor quickly adapted to his new weapon. Carrying the Thunderstrike Axe, he approached with a delighted grin and heavily tapped Eitri on the foot.
"Eitri! Thank you! I'm very satisfied!"
Eitri curled his lip. "So how does it compare to your hammer now?"
Thor happily stroked the Thunderstrike Axe. "Compare? Why compare them? They're different weapons, but I love them equally."
Look at that. What kind of scumbag man could say something like that?
Not long afterward, the two bade Eitri farewell and returned to Asgard.
After stepping onto the Bifrost, Hong Fei did not head inside. Instead, he stopped and said, "I'll head back first, then we can go see the World Tree."
"Sure. I'll have Heimdall send you..."
As he spoke, a spacecraft suddenly sped toward them from within Asgard. Judging by its appearance, it did not seem to follow Asgardian spacecraft
