However, contemplating the meaning of it all was clearly not suitable at the moment.
Arthur realized he had completely become this person named "Kaiper Eddie"!
He was a successful businessman with a happy family and a beautiful wife. Life was very good, and he even had a lovely son.
But as his son grew, troubles began to arise.
Their father-son relationship was strained. Due to a lack of good communication, they began to misunderstand each other.
As the son grew up, this strained relationship led to frequent arguments.
Moreover, the son was reckless, and Eddie's assets began to shrink. Eventually, due to the son's deceit, he lost the entire company.
By the time Eddie was nearly sixty, he went bankrupt, and the car had passed through several collectors before ending up in Tony's hands.
At this point, Arthur realized that although he experienced Eddie's perspective, once the car changed hands, his view shifted to the car itself. He saw the car's various experiences and eventually even saw Tony and himself.
It was only when he saw himself that Arthur suddenly woke up.
He opened his eyes to find he was still in that room in Asgard, the Disassembler was still in front of him, and the colorless energy inside him was being consumed rapidly.
"Damn it!"
Coming to his senses, Arthur's first thought was to use colorless crystals to replenish his energy.
But at that moment, as Eddie's life experiences, wisdom, business strategies, and various pieces of information surged into Arthur's mind, he was struck by a force that directly affected his willpower!
"Required item 3: Unwavering Will!"
Arthur suddenly understood the third requirement, diving into a meditative state, holding onto that flicker of inspiration, and standing firm against the storm!
This turmoil didn't last long. After a few seconds, Arthur found his mental energy significantly improved!
At the same time, he gained many business strategies in his mind.
Although these strategies seemed outdated at the moment, it still made Arthur realize: "So… this is the significance!"
Such experiences not only taught him various things but also helped his mental energy grow.
"For the Disassembler, this is a significant upgrade!"
Arthur suddenly had an epiphany: "And for me, this is also a test! If I can't pass it, the Disassembler upgrade will fail, and I will be stuck!"
Instead of feeling fear, his resolve strengthened!
He took a deep breath, grabbed a handful of colorless crystals, and crushed them.
At this moment, ignoring everything else, Arthur crushed the crystals one by one. As his internal energy overflowed, he once again fell into that dazed state…
…
…
There were a total of twelve people!
Arthur felt as if he had lived twelve different lives!
Different people, different personalities, different professions, different experiences, different endings!
And each contained different knowledge!
Each time he experienced a person's life, his perspective would shift when the "car" changed hands.
When he saw himself, everything would disappear.
Then, his mind would be bombarded by a storm of mental assault!
The intensity of this assault increased with each experience, becoming fiercer and more frenzied each time.
This wasn't because the residual spirits of these people were stronger, but because Arthur's mind became increasingly fatigued with each experience.
Although his mental energy had grown, the exhaustion was a real and tangible burden on him.
The strain of constantly adapting to new things and knowledge was wearing him down.
At the same time, Arthur was most distressed by the consumption of his colorless energy.
Each experience drained an unimaginable amount of colorless energy. It was unclear whether this consumption affected him directly or the Disassembler. Arthur couldn't be certain.
At this moment, Arthur was experiencing the life of the last person.
This person had a unique profession: He was an Adventurer...
He rode a motorcycle, traversing various traps in search of secrets, lost cultures, unique civilizations, or valuable treasures.
He mastered history, was agile, and had exceptional survival skills in the wild.
However, in the end, he died during an adventure.
The motorcycle was taken back by his companions, and his body remained forever in the endless abyss.
His companions meticulously maintained the motorcycle until they finally aged and the motorcycle was passed on. After several transfers, it ended up in Tony's hands.
Arthur knew this was the final test!
Taking a deep breath, he kept his mind clear while countless pieces of knowledge, common sense, insights, and theories began to assault his consciousness.
It was like a storm and a tsunami, like hellfire!
Perhaps due to the nature of the last person's profession, his residual spirit was exceptionally strong. After enduring exhaustion, the flicker of inspiration in Arthur's mind could be extinguished at any moment.
"No way!!!"
Arthur used all his strength, gritting his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, eyes tightly shut!
"Earth, Loki… Ultron, Thanos!"
Arthur decided to focus on the crises he would face to motivate himself.
In fact, it was effective; his mental resilience improved somewhat.
But it still wasn't enough!
"Lily!!!!!!" Arthur suddenly opened his eyes and roared: "I'm hungry!!!!!!"
Noodles, hand-grabbed pancakes, meat-stuffed buns, dumpling soup... These things were simple but truly delicious!
Lily, though fierce, was really cute!
Although he never felt much belonging to this world, he realized... he truly belonged to this world!
"Because... this world now has a place for me!"
He took a deep breath, and the flicker of inspiration in his mind flared up again.
The storm ceased, the tsunami subsided, and everything returned to calm.
A warm current suddenly burst forth, filling every corner of his body.
The surging mental energy flowed, and the colorless energy overflowed. Arthur looked up at the Disassembler before him.
The old wear and tear was gone, and it looked brand new.
[Disassembler... Upgrade Complete!]
With this prompt, Arthur's mind relaxed instantly. Without making a sound, he collapsed.
The surrounding energy dissipated suddenly, and two figures appeared in the room.
Odin bent down, picked up Arthur, and placed him on the bed.
Frigga had a grave look on her face as she looked at him. With a wave of her hand, a golden light showered over him. After a moment, her expression was peculiar: "He... is just asleep."

Under severe mental exhaustion, Arthur fell into a deep sleep.
Frigga helped him recover his mental state, while Odin stood by, lost in thought: "Just now, I couldn't sense him."
"It was as if he had disappeared from this world entirely."
Frigga glanced at Odin as she spoke: "But looking at him now, it seems he has become more closely connected to this world. What exactly is happening? I've never seen anything like it."
"Anything could happen to him."
Odin pondered for a moment, then sighed: "He may carry incredibly profound secrets on him. That is likely the real reason he can change everything."
Frigga nodded, remaining silent.
The couple stayed by Arthur's side for about two more hours before Arthur finally began to wake up.
He rubbed his heavy head and looked at Odin and Frigga, blinking: "Morning?"
Odin looked outside at the sky, unsure where the "morning" came from.
Frigga waved her hand, dispelling the golden light around Arthur, and helped him sit up before asking: "Child, how do you feel?"
Arthur blinked. "Child" was what she called him?
He was tempted to protest, but looking at Frigga's age, he had no real grounds to argue about being called a "child."
He scratched his head and smiled: "I'm fine, I'm fine... What are you doing?"
"It's good that you're awake."
Odin gave Arthur a deep look: "If you feel any discomfort, speak up."
"Hmm, I feel... a kind of transcendence from the inside out!"
Arthur made a serious but nonsensical remark.
Odin nodded with satisfaction: "It seems there really are no issues. This guy is still as cheeky as ever."
He then left with Frigga. Before leaving, Frigga seemed to want to ask something but ultimately refrained.
Once they disappeared from Arthur's room, Odin and Frigga appeared directly in the Golden Palace.
Frigga glanced at Odin and asked: "Are you really not going to ask him?"
"If he wanted to say something, he would have already done so," Odin replied. "Everyone has their own secrets. There's no need to dig too deeply."
…
…
Arthur stretched and, once he confirmed the two had left, summoned the Disassembler.
In the next moment, the newly upgraded Disassembler appeared in his consciousness.
The old wear and tear on the Disassembler were gone, and the Disassembler looked as if it had just come from the factory.
Its name had changed from Beginner Level 3 to Intermediate Level 1.
Aside from these changes, there were no visible differences on the outside, but internal functions had likely increased or changed, which would need to be discovered through practice.
"I remember getting a prompt that the Disassembler upgrade was successful…"
Arthur thought for a moment. While this important upgrade had indeed been nerve-wracking, it had saved him half a year's time, which was quite pleasing.
He then proceeded to select the Disassemble option for the armor and weapons.
This time, it went smoothly; all the weapons and armor were successfully fed into the Disassembler.
With the sound of gears grinding, Arthur opened the Disassemble space.
"Hey?"
"My small crystals?"
Arthur looked around in the Disassemble space and found that the previously numerous small crystals had dwindled to less than a hundred!
Even though the upgrade of the Disassembler consumed quite a few small colorless crystals, Arthur expected there to be at least seven or eight hundred remaining.
After searching again and finding none, Arthur noticed a flash of light in his hand, revealing a transparent, colorless cube measuring ten centimeters on each side.
"This is the Colorless Crystal?"
Arthur blinked. The Disassemble space had lost six or seven hundred small colorless crystals but gained seven large colorless crystals!
"Is this a new feature after the upgrade?"
With a thought, he grasped the cube, and a surge of chaotic energy instantly overwhelmed him.
Arthur felt like he was standing under a waterfall, enduring the full force of the impact.
In an instant, the energy flowed through him, and he felt a new 'Star' within his body.
"One large colorless crystal is equivalent to one hundred small colorless crystals?"
Arthur was so excited he nearly cried a river.
Had he finally reached the day when he no longer had to crush crystals one by one?
With the Disassembler upgraded to the Intermediate Level, could colorless small crystals now be combined?
This was probably the best news ever!
Arthur happily crushed several large colorless crystals, feeling the seven newly appeared 'Stars' in his body and he nodded in satisfaction.
The colorless energy circulated through his body, flowing into every cell.
Mental energy remained firmly in place, occupying the pineal gland, keeping Arthur's mind in a constant state of alertness.
During this period, the spatial energy seemed increasingly overwhelmed, feeling like it was fighting a losing battle against superior numbers. But it still held firm in a corner of his body, looking stubborn and proud!
Arthur assessed his condition and suddenly thought that his current state resembled the protagonists from the novels he used to read.
In chaos yet remarkably effective.
"Indeed, I am a protagonist template kind of guy!"
After his tsukkomi moment, Arthur began to consider the Disassembler upgrade issue.
Although the benefits were clear, the process of upgrading left him somewhat uneasy.
"Such a coincidence!"
He let out a sigh: "The timing of the appearance of the Soul Crystal was almost perfect. I didn't use it because I sensed something, but if it hadn't appeared, the Disassembler couldn't have upgraded."
"And the conditions required for the Disassembler upgrade were only revealed after the Disassembler became unusable. If I had bad luck, I could easily end up stuck…"
He frowned: "While luck is a part of strength, one can't rely on it every time."
This feeling of not being able to control everything himself left him somewhat dissatisfied.
"And most importantly, how did the Soul Crystal appear? Could it be related to the so-called mixed Disassemble?"
Arthur thought about it but shook his head: "It shouldn't be so simple… Otherwise, wouldn't I have mixed Disassembled Asgard's armor and weapons? What I got was thirty Battle Souls, and speaking of which, I haven't absorbed those yet."
