Lu Xiao, who was in possession of the Time Stone, could not directly contact the Reality Stone. As he watched Thor take out the ether from Di Fan's secret treasure house, Lu Xiao shrugged and said, "Look, it's very simple, right? If I had known, I would have followed last time.
You came together."
Banner still didn't understand the current situation. He rubbed his temples with a headache and asked: "Wait a minute, what are we doing? Who is that stupid, big, black guy just now?"
Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "This is a long story. Let's go back to Earth and meet the Avengers to discuss it in detail."
"Banner, are you sure you are ready?"
Banner smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "What else?"
"After wandering around the universe, I realized that my hometown is the most beautiful place...even though the folks on Earth don't like me very much."
"Um……"
Lu Xiao looked at Banner thoughtfully: "Your biggest problem is that you can't control the timing of your transformation, and you can't control the rage inside you after you transform."
"So be it."
Lu Xiao promised Banner: "After returning to Earth this time, you first find a way to have a good talk with Hulk. I will take the time to go to the alliance headquarters. Maybe I can help you reunite with Hulk's soul."
Hulk is originally a part of Banner's soul. Strictly speaking, he is two personalities split from one soul.
As long as they can be reunited as one, Banner's troubles will naturally be solved.
Banner perked up after hearing this, and raised his head to look at Lu Xiao expectantly: "Is it really possible?"
Lu Xiao nodded: "There is hope, but whether it can succeed depends on the outcome of the negotiation between you and Hulk."
"The foundation of the mental fusion spell must ensure that both parties are willing, otherwise even if the fusion is successful, you will become a schizophrenic madman."
For many years, Banner attributed all his misfortunes to the Hulk, and he subconsciously rejected the existence of the Hulk.
Hulk and Banner have two souls. Of course, Banner's disgust was felt by Hulk, which led to him not having a good impression of Banner. The two often fought for control of the body when they were on Earth.
For a long time, Banner's research has been to find ways to eliminate Hulk's personality, but practice has proved that this method does not work.
"Okay." Banner let out a long sigh: "It's time to face up to and solve the Hulk's problem."
…
Di Fan sat in front of the collection hall with a sad face, watching helplessly as his treasure was "taken away", and he felt as if his heart was being cut.
But the person who snatched it was not strong enough for him to resist, and he had legitimate reasons for taking back the Reality Stone. In the end, Di Fan could only hold his nose and admit it.
After experiencing Thor's poor teleportation once, no one, including Banner, wanted to experience it a second time.
Lu Xiao opened the stable portal leading to Nidaville. The group of people easily crossed the gate and appeared in the dwarf's star-ring city in the next second.
Banner said with emotion: "This is much better, at least you don't have to be squeezed back and forth in the space channel like a sardine."
Brünnhilde also felt the same. She had not returned to the Nine Realms for many years. At this time, her mood was a little complicated, and she subconsciously touched the long object wrapped in blue silk in her hand.
"Dang~dang~"
When Lu Xiao and others found Ai Cui, the dwarf king was sweating, shirtless, banging something hard next to the big forge.
Lu Xiao, Thor and others did not disturb Ai Cui who was concentrating on his work. Under the enthusiastic reception of the dwarves, they temporarily settled in Star Ring City and waited for Ai Cui to finish his forging work.
Through Ai Cui's assistant, Lu Xiao and others learned that what Ai Cui was building was the completed version of the Infinity Gauntlet.
In order to complete the final design and forging, Ai Cui has been working hard and without sleep for 10 days. Even with a dwarf's physique, he is already close to the limit.
Before Eitri completed the final forging, Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen accompanied Brynhildr to the city to search for someone, while Thor took Banner to visit the magnificent Star Ring City.
Nidaville's structure is similar to a Dyson sphere. This idea is not a fantasy in Banner's worldview. It is a technology that humans may achieve in the near future. He is very interested in Nidaville's construction method and hopes to
Learn some lessons from it.
The long object in Brynhildr's hand is the standard dragon tooth sword unique to the Valkyrie army.
Although it is a standard weapon, each dragon tooth sword is carefully crafted by the blacksmiths of Nidaville and is not produced in one go using molds.
Since leaving the Nine Realms, Brynhildr has not used the Dragon Fang Sword for many years.
Although she would maintain this commemorative sword from time to time, she was not a real blacksmith after all. Before she could use the Dragon Fang Sword again, she had to give it a new life in the hands of her own forger.
The blacksmith who made the Dragon Tooth Sword was named Andvari, a veteran blacksmith of the same era as Ai Tri. He announced his retirement more than 100 years ago and stopped making weapons.
When Brünnhilde found Andvari with the Dragon Tooth Sword in hand, the old blacksmith looked at this relatively well-preserved Valkyrie-specific weapon with emotion.
"Dragon Tooth Sword, how many years have I not seen it?"
After checking the condition of the Dragon Tooth Sword, Andvari said with satisfaction: "Although the sharpness and strength have declined slightly due to the long-term lack of formal maintenance, it can be seen that someone often maintains it."
"Valkyrie, your name is Brünnhilde, right?"
Brünnhilde nodded and said, "Yes, I didn't expect Master Andvari to still remember me."
"ha!"
Andvari waved his hand carelessly: "You Asgardians all look similar to me. I can't remember your looks."
"Look here."
Andriva pointed to the small marks engraved on the lower part of the sword's spine: "Every Dragon Tooth Sword is made by myself, and the name of each sword owner is engraved on it when it is delivered."
"I can feel how much you value the Dragon Tooth Sword. For this reason, I will make an exception and take action again."
…
"clang!"
Three days later, as the sound of knocking resounded throughout the ring city, the star core in the center of Nidaville began to operate again, and the powerful heat of the planet's core was injected into the furnace.
All the dwarves gave up what they were doing and looked expectantly in the direction of the melting pot.
Lu Xiao and others stood at the door of the forging room of the melting pot. They watched with their own eyes as Ai Cui put the completed gloves into the spring water of the Fountain of Wisdom to quench them.
After taking the quenched Infinity Gauntlet out of the barrel that had returned to normal temperature, Eitri performed the final decoration work on the gauntlet.
Half an hour later, Ai Cui, who had heavy dark circles on his face, raised his gloves and shouted excitedly: "It's done! This is the most perfect version!"
"oh!"
The dwarves are not interested in the purpose of the Infinity Gauntlet. They are just celebrating the birth of another artifact from the hands of the dwarves.
After working continuously for more than ten days, Ai Cui's emotions reached their peak at the moment when the forging was completed.
After a brief period of excitement, Ai Cui began to relax and suddenly felt exhausted.
The cheering dwarves were shocked to find that their king fell straight down beside the forging platform, snoring like thunder the moment he landed on the ground.
Seeing Ai Cui's assistants hurriedly lifting him off the ground, Lu Xiao and Thor looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Just wait a little longer. I hope Ai Cui can wake up from his deep sleep as soon as possible."
