Ai Cui just glanced at the unlocked second level of runes and immediately understood what Lu Xiao's problem was.
"Haha~ It's not entirely your problem."
Eitri gently stroked the ridge of the Hidden Blade with his thick fingers: "I didn't describe it clearly enough at the time. I originally thought it would take at least hundreds of years for you to get to this point, and Midgardians don't have hundreds of years."
Years of life to live.”
"The third level of runes does not have a fixed form, it will be personalized according to your needs."
"But the premise is that you must consciously catalyze these two runes and let them move closer to the direction you need."
Ai Cui's words made Lu Xiao suddenly realize: "No wonder I haven't been able to unlock them. It turns out that I went in the wrong direction."
"Personalized adjustment..."
Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully: "Thank you, Ai Cui, I know what to do."
…
After Thor woke up from the immersion state, Ai Cui left the other dwarves to clean up the mess and brought Thor and Lu Xiao to his palace for a detailed discussion.
"Thanos?"
Ai Cui pondered: "I heard Odin mention this name before. Ever since he was defeated by Odin, he has never been around the Nine Realms."
"Now that Odin and Ancient One are dead, Thanos' fear of the Nine Realms will definitely be greatly weakened. We should really be prepared to prevent him from launching a surprise attack on the Nine Realms."
Lu Xiao consciously woke up and said: "Ai Cui, you once made a semi-finished product of the Infinity Gauntlet for Odin. Thanos, who aims to collect Infinity Stones, will probably go straight to Nidaville after sneaking into the Nine Realms."
"Considering the importance of intelligence, Thanos should first send his men to investigate the situation in the Nine Realms and Nidaville before launching an operation. Have you found any suspicious existence near the star ring recently?"
Ai Cui shook his head: "No, but it may be because we did not turn on the detector's power to the maximum."
Pressing the communicator integrated on the armrest of the throne, Eitri ordered the dwarves in charge of defense to be more vigilant and increase the scanning power of the detector.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the result was still that everything was normal, and Ai Cui breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems Thanos hasn't started taking action yet. There is still time for us to prepare."
Eitri turned to look at Thor: "Thor, what are Asgard going to do?"
Thor said categorically: "Of course, it is to face the threat of Thanos directly. This is Asgard's responsibility and obligation as the master of the nine realms."
Ai Trimo stroked the thick beard on his chin: "If I didn't attack you, even if you get the Storm Axe, you are still no match for Thanos in your unstable state."
"Not to mention Thanos also possesses the most destructive Power Stone. Once a fight starts, I'm not optimistic about your chances of winning. Even with the help of the new Supreme Mage, you may not be able to gain the upper hand."
Normal Thanos is a monster on the same level as Odin at his peak. After obtaining the Power Stone, his strength will be further improved.
The Power Stone allows the user to control any form of power, and when embedded in the Infinity Gauntlet, it can also provide other stones with the energy needed to use them.
In addition, those who use power gems will also receive unparalleled physical attack and defense bonuses.
In Avengers 3, the reason why the infinitely furious Hulk was unable to cause enough damage to Thanos was that the defensive ability of the Power Stone played an important role.
Eitri is also an experienced veteran who has lived for thousands of years, and his experience is much richer than that of Thor, who is still young.
"To fight against the Infinity Stones, we can only rely on other Infinity Stones that are also the origin of the universe."
Eitri pondered for a moment and then said: "I will try to create a complete version of the Infinity Gauntlet for you to use. Thor, you first go to Difan to recover the Reality Stone."
"Before Thanos takes action, collect all the Infinity Stones that can be found in Asgard."
"Also, you'd better choose a suitable candidate to wear the Infinity Gauntlet."
Eitri solemnly reminded: "The nature of the Infinity Stones is mutually exclusive. The Infinity Gauntlet can indeed allow them to coexist, but replacing them will cause a huge burden on the wearer."
"Let me make it clear first that the people of Midgar absolutely cannot bear the side effects of using multiple Infinity Stones at the same time. Even the Asgardians, who are called gods, need to be cautious."
Thor said seriously: "I will personally go to the Void Land and ask the collector for the Reality Stone... I just don't know if he will hand it over obediently."
"Ha~"
Ai Cui waved his hand disdainfully: "That miser will definitely not spit out what he got easily. You'd better prepare for battle in advance."
Lu Xiao interjected: "The Time Stone is still safe in my hands for the time being, the Space Stone is stored in Odin's treasure house, and the Mind Stone..."
Thor took over and said: "Vision, how to convince the Avengers to let Vision hand over the gems is a difficult problem. After all, that means ending Vision's life."
Lu Xiao shrugged and said, "That's not the case. Maybe I can find a way to take out the Mind Stone without hurting Vision, but it will take time."
"Then it's settled."
Thor patted Ai Cui's waist: "Ai Cui, you stay in Nidaville to study how to build a complete version of the Infinity Gauntlet. I will first go to 'reason' with Di Fan in ignorance."
"Lu, I'll leave Vision to you."
Lu Xiao clicked Focus next to her ear: "Ai Cui, let's exchange contact information. If anything happens, notify me immediately and I will rush over as soon as possible."
Ari asked in confusion: "It's okay to exchange contact information, but without the help of the Rainbow Bridge, how are you going to... Okay, pretend I didn't say anything."
In front of Ai Cui, Lu Xiao opened the portal directly to the earth.
Because the distance between Nidaville and the earth is relatively long, the process of opening the door took about half a minute, and another half minute was used to stabilize the ultra-long-distance space channel.
Approaching the portal, Lu Xiao turned to Thor and said, "Thor, I have never been to the Land of Voidness. I'm sorry that I can't see you off here."
Thor smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I can just try out the additional functions of the Storm Axe."
"Whoa!"
Thor opened the Rainbow Bridge in Eitri's palace, and left Nidaville with Lu Xiao one after another.
Eitri watched speechlessly as the Rainbow Bridge penetrated the zenith and left a mark on the ground: "...Thor, next time I will definitely ask you for the resources needed to repair the palace."
…
After returning to Earth, Lu Xiao did not return to Karma Taj, but only informed Yongzhen through Focus that she had returned from the alien world.
In order to ensure that the plan did not go wrong, Lu Xiao first took a trip to Wakanda.
Seeing Lu Xiao standing outside the newly repaired barrier waving hello, T'Challa immediately ordered him to be let in.
Lu Xiao didn't waste time on small talk. After seeing T'Challa, he said straight to the point: "King T'Challa, I have something to ask Princess Su Rui for help."
"Suri?"
T'Challa was a little surprised, but he still opened his personal terminal in the form of a rosary and informed Shuri, who was busy in the research room, to come to the throne room.
Lu Xiao briefly explained to the two confused brothers and sisters: "There is a special 'patient' who needs Wakanda's help. It is related to the safety of the earth and even the entire universe. Princess Shuri, can you please accompany me?"
