While thinking about things, Arthur's mind wandered a bit, and he took out the thirty Battle Souls from the Disassemble space and he absorbed them one by one.
The Battle Souls produced by Asgard equipment are primarily related to enhancing the body.
These thirty souls were no exception, indicating that Arthur's body density and power had once again been strengthened…
The reason Arthur could clearly identify the increase in body density and power this time was due to the detailed observation enabled by his mental energy.
In the past, lacking the appropriate means, he often had to rely on his feelings. With meditation and mental energy now, his observations of his body had become more detailed and the changes more intuitive.
"Let's see what we get from this Disassemble before making any judgments."
Wondering how the Soul Crystal came into existence, Arthur didn't spend much time on it and quietly awaited the results of the Disassemble.
Aside from this, Arthur took a moment to reflect on his previous experience upgrading the Disassembler.
"If the Soul Crystal comes from weapons, does that mean I'll experience the lives of those warriors?"
This thought made his eyes light up, and a new idea sprang to mind.
Before long, the Intermediate-level Disassembler significantly sped up the Disassemble process, handling eighty-seven pieces of equipment in less than an hour.
**[Decomposing equipment succeeded!]**
**[Intermediate Asgard Military Combat Technique*410]**
**[Intermediate Steel Bones*101]**
**[Golden Battle Soul*87]**
**[Colorless Large Crystal*46]**
**[Disassembler Experience +435]**
**[Equipment Disassemble complete. Would you like to extract all at once?]**
Arthur's heart raced as he looked at these items.
Based on this Disassemble result, it was clear that Beginner skill books would not appear anymore.
Everything was directly obtained according to the Intermediate standard.
The quantity was a bit terrifying because there were a total of eighty-seven items!
Although most of them were of Green Grade, the rewards were still satisfying.
Moreover, with forty-six colorless large crystals, and considering that one of them would form one large star, this meant that he would have forty-six more large stars in his body!
Including what he already had, the total number had surpassed one hundred!
"Will there be any other changes?"
Arthur was quite looking forward to it. What really made his heart race, however, was the horrifying experience points!
Four hundred thirty-five?
He calculated in his mind that this was based on adding five points of experience for each piece of equipment.
"But there were so many green-grade items. All adding five points doesn't seem right!"
Arthur felt frustrated, but there was no manufacturer for the Disassembler, and he had no place to lodge a complaint.
In truth, he was very worried that randomly Disassembling something would cause the Disassembler to upgrade again.
Taking a deep breath, Arthur extracted all the items and began processing them...
Due to the Asgard Military Combat Technique not being upgraded to Intermediate, his Disassemble space still had 1,642 Beginner Combat Technique books.
However, he decided to take out an Intermediate Fighting Technique book to see what changes would occur.
He snapped it, and along with the sensation of the skill flooding into his mind, a prompt sounded:
**[Asgard Military Combat Technique upgraded!]**
The entire set of skills directly advanced to Intermediate!
Moreover, the over a thousand Beginner skill books had now become 164.
Including the one he had just processed, there were a total of 564 Intermediate Asgard Military Combat Technique books!
This was a Bountiful Harvest!
The haul was immense!
The previously acquired Steel Bones skill books had automatically combined into Intermediate level, resulting in a total of one hundred thirty-three Intermediate Steel Bones books.
Arthur felt a revolutionary change in the skills within his body after processing them all in one go.
Especially in the Asgard Military Combat Technique, the techniques became more complex and included an energy buff method.
This change came with the skills reaching the Intermediate level. For example, with Steel Bones, Arthur could now independently release the 'Mental Energy Shield.'
Additionally, the extra skill in the Combat Technique category was called... Energy Buff!
Simply put, it involves applying a colorless energy buff to weapons to enhance their lethality through combat techniques.
While not as flashy as Curved shots, it was subtle yet deadly.
"I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when it advances to Advanced Level."
Arthur glanced at the skill books in the Disassembler and felt that Advanced Level wasn't too far off.
However, he was a bit impatient, having already stayed here too long due to the Disassembler upgrade.
With nearly seven hundred skill books to process, he felt that by the time he returned, Everyone might have finished their tasks.
"I can't delay here any longer."
After making sure he hadn't missed anything, Arthur extracted the large crystals, crushing them one by one while heading out in search of Odin.
Before he even found Odin, all the large crystals were crushed, and while the large stars inside his body had not qualitatively changed, the number had indeed surpassed one hundred.
Unable to find anyone, Arthur stopped searching and directly spread the Wings of the Raven, soaring towards Heimdall.
"This is definitely so useful!!!"
While flying, Arthur kept processing skill books and felt the consumption of colorless energy, feeling immensely satisfied.
The energy consumption was only to maintain the Wings of the Raven; flying did not incur additional costs.
In other words, for Arthur, the ability to fly would be zero cost!
This was crucial for him!
Moreover, his flying speed was extremely fast, surpassing even the 'Void Step' used in instant teleportation!
In the blink of an eye, Arthur reached the entrance of the Guardian Hall. His landing was a bit shaky, but fortunately, he did not end up crashing headfirst into the ground.
For his first real flight, Arthur was willing to give himself a score of 101outof 100, not worried about appearing arrogant.
"I'm heading back to Earth!" Arthur dashed into the hall and, after speaking, gave himself a round of applause.
Heimdall looked at him curiously and asked. "Why... are you clapping?"
While speaking, he sheathed the Guardian Sword.
Arthur clapped before speaking, "I think I might have contracted a disease where I die if I don't clap."
"I think you should see Queen Frigga. She's adept at curing all kinds of ailments," Heimdall said earnestly.
Arthur ignored him and directly stepped into the Bifrost, disappearing in an instant.
Heimdall looked at the shimmering passageway and muttered, "I hope this destination is to your liking."
(End of Chapter)
Rainbow-colored light descended from the sky!
But before it even touched the ground, it disappeared, leaving Arthur, dressed in black, spinning wildly in mid-air!
In an instant, Arthur was dazed: "Where the hell am I?"
Looking down from high above, the distance to the ground was impossible to gauge, and almost immediately, he felt a sense of suffocation.
He put on his headset, tapped it lightly, and his mask attached itself to his face.
Letting out a sigh, Arthur activated the Wings of the Raven, and his form began to float high in the sky.
Just as he was about to find a landing spot and figure out where he was, he saw a massive object flying in the distance.
"A Helicarrier?"
Arthur quickly realized that Heimdall, knowing the situation on Earth, had sent him here directly.
"But you could've at least given me a heads up! Is it just because I exposed your peeping?"
His gaze swept across, and his expression suddenly changed.
The Helicarrier was in trouble, with a huge gash near one of its turbine engines, looking as if it was about to stall.
In a flash of thought, Arthur tried to connect with Natasha: "Are you there?"
There was no response from Natasha!
"This doesn't look good…"
Arthur flapped his wings and headed towards the Helicarrier.
"Help me…"
As he flew above the Helicarrier, Natasha's voice suddenly came through his ears.
The Eye of Horus was immediately deployed, and Arthur swiftly landed directly above the Helicarrier.
"Where are you?"
As Arthur asked, The Eye of Horus pinpointed Natasha's location.
She was directly below him, right where he was standing.
At the same time, a massive figure was following her!
"Hulk!"
The Hulk was clearly not in a friendly mood, chasing Natasha like a neighborhood bully chasing a girl, and he was a particularly big bully at that!
In an instant, Arthur appeared in front of Natasha.
Natasha's eyes widened in shock as if they were about to collide. Arthur quickly grabbed Natasha's hands, swung them around, and they swapped positions. Meanwhile, Arthur removed his mask, extended a finger towards Hulk, and said, "Stop!"
Hulk immediately halted, seeming momentarily stunned, then roared furiously at Arthur, visibly enraged.
He clearly didn't know how to express himself. After stomping and howling, he suddenly charged at Arthur and Natasha.
Arthur pulled Natasha with him, activated his acceleration, and moved like lightning, instantly bypassing Hulk and appearing where Hulk had been.
Hulk, seemingly unaware of what was happening, crashed through the wall and went outside with a thunderous roar.
Arthur was about to pursue when Natasha tugged sharply on his wrist.
Looking back at Natasha, Arthur saw she was trembling.
Taking a deep breath, Arthur patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay."
"I know…"
Natasha nodded: "I'm sorry. Even though I knew about the Mind Stone, I still ended up making things worse. The magic staff's effects were even more terrifying than I imagined. I… didn't have an adequate way to deal with it."
"It's not your fault."
Arthur, seeing her like this, could only offer calm reassurance.
In contrast, the big guy outside wasn't a major problem, as long as he wasn't attacking others.
"Loki's scheme should involve more than just using the Mind Stone against you," Arthur said thoughtfully. "He's the god of mischief and trickery, and his words carry a kind of magic. Have you talked to him?"
Natasha looked up at Arthur, her eyes reflecting complex emotions, and after a moment, she nodded. "I'm fine, just... a little scared."
"It's normal to be scared."
Arthur smiled. "I often felt that way too. During the war, I just couldn't run away; otherwise, I would have left long ago."
"Why couldn't you run?" Natasha asked curiously. "With your skills, escaping the battlefield shouldn't have been difficult for you."
"At that time, I didn't have such skills."
Arthur smiled. "Besides, I was on Hydra's blacklist. It wouldn't have mattered where I went. Staying with the army was actually the safest place."
He paused and looked at Natasha seriously. "Fear is a rare emotion. It at least proves that we're still alive and our minds are still clear. The battlefield is the easiest place to break down. Life withers constantly, and there are bloodstained butchers everywhere. I can't wash the blood off my hands. No matter the era, my hands will always be stained with blood. This is unchangeable, and it doesn't need to change!"
"Fear the events unfolding before us, dread all the tragedies and suffering."
Arthur gazed at Natasha, speaking in a tone that seemed to be both reassuring her and himself. "Only through this can we strengthen our resolve and understand what we are truly doing. What we need to protect... If we don't choose, avoid, or hide, the end result is allowing everything we fear to happen before us. So we must proceed with caution, carrying that fear with us..."
Before he could finish, Natasha suddenly threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a passionate kiss on the cheek.
"Ah?"
Arthur was momentarily stunned.
"Unfortunately, now isn't the time..." Natasha released Arthur. "Are you trying to feed me some motivational speech?"
Arthur rubbed his face, feeling helpless. "I know I'm an eye-catching man, like a bright moon wherever I go, but you can't just kiss me out of nowhere... As a normal man..."
Just as he was speaking, there was the sound of metal tearing, followed by a red cape flying towards them.
Arthur used his Steel Bones ability to catch Thor. "What's going on?"
"Sorry to interrupt," Thor said, shaking his head and pointing outside. "But I think that guy out there needs more of this kind of tenderness. It might calm him down a bit."
Arthur patted Thor on the shoulder. "I've got a way to deal with him. I'll handle that big guy."
He looked at Natasha again. "Let's let this one slide, but no more random kisses next time. I'm a serious man, after all."
