Chapter 547 If a worker wants to do good things, he must first sharpen his tools
Speaking of the degree of mixed souls, among the "patients" Lu Xiao has dealt with, Illyasviel's condition is even more serious.
Illya is a hybrid of artificial and human, a rare species that could not have existed in the first place, and has very obvious congenital defects.
The Einzbern family, which was bent on pursuing the third method, did not regard Illya as a living being at all, and conducted various magic experiments on Illya when she was still very young.
These inhuman transformation experiments left Illya's soul and body riddled with holes. After understanding the third method of materializing her soul, Lu Xiao found a solution to completely cure her.
Gamora's situation is different from Illya's.
If Illya's soul is leaking everywhere like a beehive, Gamora's soul is like the scraps left after the butcher cuts off the good meat.
What Lu Xiao needs to do is to refill this incomplete scrap into a complete soul.
Considering the complexity of the soul, the entire process was extremely engineering intensive.
Gamora had most of her soul sacrificed because of Lu Xiao's plan, and Lu Xiao believed that it was his responsibility to restore her to her original state.
Lu Xiao cast a spell to levitate the dull-looking Gamora, and turned to look at Rogers, who was still staring at the Red Skull: "Steve, I'll leave this guy to you."
Rogers nodded with interest: "No problem, I will 'entertain' him well."
When Star-Lord Quill saw that Lu Xiao was planning to leave with Gamora, he hurriedly got up and prepared to catch up.
"Wait...um!"
Yongzhen didn't like the idle Quill. In order to prevent this babbling guy from disturbing Lu Xiao's work, she immediately released her body-fixing technique and fixed Quill firmly on the chair, unable to move.
"Ah~ right."
Before leaving, Lu Xiao suddenly remembered something, turned around and pointed at the two sets of weapons that Nebula placed on the conference table.
"Thor, I suggest you melt these two weapons and reforge them. Uru metal is a precious material even in Asgard, right?"
Thor nodded: "I plan to go to Nidaville in the next few days, but I haven't decided what weapons to smelt yet."
Weapons forged from Uru metal are extremely sharp and have extremely strong magic-guiding properties. For most people in the know, they are a treasured material that is coveted.
Thanos's double-headed sword and great ax both use a large amount of Uru metal. If they can be given to Eitri for re-smelting, at least 3-5 light weapons or 2-3 heavy weapons can be forged.
Although the weapons forged by Uru metal are extremely powerful, it is not possible for ordinary people to fully utilize their capabilities.
Just like Nebula, the Deathblade General's previous taunts to her were not just trash talk that disturbed her mind.
The power of the same weapon in the hands of Thanos and Nebula is completely different.
That set of double-headed swords was originally tailor-made for Thanos, and Nebula, who was not using it smoothly, would not be able to exert its full power.
Lu Xiao already has the indestructible Xuanyuan Sword in his hands, so his need for weapons is not strong.
As the hero who took back Thanos' weapon, Nebula deserves to have a weapon made of Uru metal.
But Nebula voluntarily gave up the choice and decided to leave these Uru metals to those who needed them more.
As the adopted daughter of Thanos, Nebula has received very strict training since she was a child, and her fighting skills are really not weak.
However, due to personal habits, Nebula does not have a usual melee weapon. She prefers to use her fists and beam gun to participate in battles.
The problem of guns is easy to solve. Asgard has relevant technology, but Asgardians usually integrate beam generators into cold weapons and release beam attacks through long swords or spears.
As for the Guardians of the Galaxy who participated in and completed this operation...
It's not that Lu Xiao looks down on them, these people's strength is only acceptable and cannot meet the standard of fighting Thanos head-on. At most, they can only play support and cannot really hurt him.
Uru Metal was handed over to the Guardians of the Galaxy to use some pearls, and the self-aware little Mantis first expressed his withdrawal.
After some discussion, Drax the Destroyer and Rocket Raccoon also chose to give up.
Quill wanted to get a cool weapon, but everyone, including his crew, ignored Star-Lord's opinion.
After Lu Xiao left with Gamora, Thor put his chin in his hand and thought about it.
"Steve, let's go to Midgard first and ask for some vibranium from Wakanda. We'll take this opportunity to ask the dwarves to help you update your weapons."
Rogers, who was practicing boxing with the Red Skull, was stunned for a moment: "I don't need it, right? My current shield is very easy to use."
Thor shook his head: "Your shield is only made with a part of vibranium mixed in. Not to mention the material, the workmanship is also very rough."
"This shield is indeed enough to deal with various crises in Midgard, but what we are about to face is Thanos, the overlord of the universe."
"With the blessing of the Power Stone, he may be able to smash your shield with just a heavy weapon."
Rogers shrugged: "...Okay, I trust your judgment."
Thor smiled and patted Rogers on the shoulder: "Let's go to the Avengers headquarters first, ask others if they have any needs for weapon updates, and simply give their orders to the dwarves."
…
Lu Xiao was temporarily ignorant of what was happening in the outside world. After returning to the Asgard manor given to him by Thor, he began to concentrate on repairing Gamora's soul.
The remaining souls that had been entangled with the Red Skull had been smelted by Lu Xiao.
Through the memories of these souls, Lu Xiao roughly knew their origins.
These people were all interstellar pirates who went to Vormir to hunt for treasure and lacked formal archaeological knowledge.
That's why they tried to seize the gem in a tough and stupid way, which angered the intelligence of the soul gem, and from then on they were trapped near the gem and forced to serve as guides.
As a pirate, a profession that relies on robbing and killing for a living, Lu Xiao has always made mistakes.
He never believed in good pirates, which in itself was a false proposition.
First of all, kind people will not choose to be pirates. Even if they have no choice but to go to sea, kind people will sooner or later become black-hearted under the influence of their companions, otherwise they will be eliminated by the surrounding environment sooner or later.
The blank soul material obtained after smelting the soul was used by Lu Xiao to fill Gamora's soul body, first completing her incomplete soul body.
Then try to stimulate her soul memory, awaken her autonomous consciousness, and let Gamora take the initiative to expand her soul into the newly filled empty shell.
In the process of activating Gamora's memory and mind, Lu Xiao inevitably saw her past experiences.
The most profound memory of Gamora, who has a broken soul, is still the tragedy of Zehouber's genocide when he was young.
A strange uncle who looked like a purple sweet potato tried his best to put on a friendly expression and squatted in front of little Gamora, sputtering these words. Gamora's remaining soul automatically filtered out the nonsense.
Lu Xiao stood behind Gamora as a bystander, looking at the purple sweet potato spirit and narrowing his eyes.
