Rimuru looked up and saw an exquisitely crafted suit of armor securely placed on the Pietro humanoid statue that he had conjured out of thin air.
The entire suit of armor completely abandons the heavy and domineering style of Thor, the god of thunder.
The lines are light and smooth, with silver, green and dark gold interwoven, carrying a touch of eeriness and dynamism, much like Loki's exclusive divine armor style.
Rimuru immediately understood the dwarf's intentions.
Pietro is an extreme speed-type ability user, specializing in rapid attacks and hit-and-run tactics.
Thor's heavy armor and brute force would only slow him down; it's completely unsuitable.
This lightweight, form-fitting, and delicate style is the perfect choice for Quicksilver.
He looked him up and down, becoming more and more satisfied.
Pietro, who is of Eastern European descent, has a cool and aloof demeanor, and he will most likely like this armor that combines good looks with practicality.
Upon seeing this, the Dwarf King immediately stepped forward to explain the various details of the armor in detail.
"Made entirely to your specifications, forged from Uru Divine Steel, its defensive capabilities surpass all other divine weapons in the Nine Realms!"
"The arms conceal retractable Uru sleeve swords that fit snugly against the arms without any protrusions when stored, ensuring maximum speed is never compromised."
"Once drawn, its sharpness is unparalleled; it excels in surprise attacks, armor penetration, and close-quarters combat, making it a perfect match for speed-based fighters!"
Rimuru nodded slightly, without any complaints, and immediately made the decision.
The dwarf king breathed a long sigh of relief.
He had already received the news that Odin had personally appointed Rimuru as a legitimate god of Asgard, placing him among the highest ranks of the Asgard.
Regardless of whether Ragnarok will come in the future or what the fate of Asgard may be, the person before us is already a true top figure in the Nine Realms.
Fortunately, I cooperated obediently back then and didn't dare to offend anyone in the slightest. Now I've completely secured my position with them.
Rimuru had no time to ponder the old dwarf's ulterior motives. He stepped forward, raised his hand, and prepared to remove the armor from the statue.
But just after the armor detached from the statue, he realized something was wrong.
The humanoid statue of Pietro before him was exactly the same in shape, outline, and texture as the Uru Divine Steel statue that he had conjured out of thin air with magic.
However, the material is clearly not Uru Divine Steel.
The unique fluctuations that originally belonged to the ultra-high purity Uru Divine Steel completely disappeared, replaced by ordinary Asgard steel.
Rimuru instantly understood, then turned to look at the Dwarf King with a half-smile.
Caught red-handed, the dwarf king immediately felt guilty. He looked up at the sky, his eyes darting around, and refused to meet Rimuru's gaze, pretending to be innocent and saying he knew nothing and had done nothing wrong.
Seeing the old dwarf's comical, blatant attempt to cover up his blunder, Rimuru couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
He couldn't be bothered to fuss over such a trivial matter.
The Uru Divine Steel statue that he conjured out of thin air was indeed extravagant and wasteful.
Using top-quality materials as decorative items is truly a waste of their potential.
The Dwarf King secretly changed the material and recycled and refined the Uru Divine Steel, making the best use of it.
In any case, Uru Divine Steel was not a scarce resource for him.
With a mere thought, there is unlimited production capacity; as much as you want can be created out of thin air, and you don't care about the slight losses.
It can't even be called a loss at all.
Rimuru his little hands behind his back, his round face tense, trying his best to look extremely serious.
Those clear yellow eyes lost their usual laziness and playfulness, staring straight at the burly and rugged dwarf king before them.
"I'll emphasize this one last time, Dwarf King."
The child's voice was deliberately lowered, revealing an incongruous seriousness, without a trace of the relaxed feeling he usually had when he was slacking off and chatting.
"The emergency virtual space device in this suit of armor is something I prepared specifically for Nidavellir's Extremis. No matter what annihilation we face, whether it's an enemy attack or the collapse of the world, you must never try to withstand it."
"If the situation gets out of control, don't hesitate for a second. Activate the device immediately and take your clansmen and the workshop core inside."
These repeated admonitions weighed heavily on the Dwarf King's mind.
To be honest, every time I look at Rimuru's soft and cute face, even the most serious words sound less intimidating.
Anyone who sees it would only think it's a cute little guy pretending to be mature, and would never associate it with a serious crisis.
But this time, the Dwarf King couldn't laugh at all.
He has lived for tens of thousands of years, seen countless people, and is most adept at capturing the true emotions in the words of the powerful.
He could clearly sense that Rimuru wasn't just being polite, nor was he simply trying to curry favor.
Every word the little guy uttered was filled with genuine worry and an indescribable sense of gravity.
The dwarf king's mind was in turmoil as he silently reviewed all the causes and consequences.
From the moment King Ultron publicly appointed Rimuru as the envoy of the entire Asgard, everyone in the Nine Realms knew the deeper meaning behind it.
Asgard recognized Rimuru's status, and Nidavellir, who had always been loyal to and on good terms with Asgard, was essentially siding with them and tacitly joining Rimuru's faction.
To put it bluntly, the bond between the two has long been obvious, so there's no need for Rimuru to repeatedly emphasize or instruct on ways to protect themselves.
But Rimuru kept bringing up this matter again and again.
Even now, when the overall situation between the two sides Daju and their relationship is stable, they still tirelessly remind him to avoid Extremis.
A deep sense of doubt instantly filled the Dwarf King's mind, causing his previously relaxed state of mind to become completely anxious.
He frowned, his rough fingers unconsciously stroking the ancient mineral patterns on his waist, his mind racing.
What exactly is Rimuru guarding against?
Nidavellir possesses the most advanced forging technology in the Nine Realms, with inexhaustible mineral resources and sturdy workshops, hidden in the crevices of the galaxy, in an extremely secluded location.
For tens of thousands of years, under the protection of Asgard, no force has ever been able to conquer the dwarven kingdom.
Having enjoyed such stability and prosperity for so long, there is absolutely no risk of its destruction.
Rimuru's unusual obsession fueled Rimuru's growing unease.
Suddenly, Ragnarok of Asgard, flashed into his mind.
That inevitable and irreversible apocalyptic catastrophe was a prophetic destiny known throughout the Nine Realms.
Queen Frigga possessed the power of prophecy to see the future, foresaw the destruction of Asgard, and was already mentally prepared.
A Shocker guess suddenly struck the Dwarf King's heart, sending a shiver down his spine.
Could it be... that Rimuru also possesses the ability to foresee the future?
Did he not only witness the twilight of Asgard, but also foresee the end of Nidavellir?
Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore, and it instantly made the surrounding air feel heavy and cold.
The dwarf king suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the small figure before him.
His rugged and steady body stood frozen there like a statue.
If that's the case, then Rimuru's repeated admonitions weren't just unnecessary concern, but rather a pre-arranged path to survival for the Dwarf Race!
He remained silent for a long time, his voice unconsciously becoming deeper and carrying a hint of tentative seriousness.
" Rimuru... did you see something?"
" Nidavellir will also face catastrophe in the future, won't it?"
