第031章 转身离开

Chapter 031: Turn and Leave Eitri, after receiving Hela's affirmation, breathed a sigh of relief and slowly asked, "So, what brings you here this time, Your Majesty?" Implicitly, he had acknowledged her identity. Hela said softly, "I want you to forge a weapon for me." "What weapon do you wish to forge? I believe we will surely satisfy you, Your Majesty," Eitri said, thumping his chest. Dwarves might be inferior in other areas, but in this regard, no one in the entire universe could match them. And since the Queen of Asgard had come in person, Eitri decided to take up the task himself, to forge a weapon worthy of Hela, just like Odin's Gungnir and Thor's Stormbreaker. He would certainly give it his all. "The Infinity Gauntlet," Hela said lightly. "I mean the real Infinity Gauntlet, not the counterfeit in my father's vault." King Eitri's eyes darkened. He hadn't expected Hela to ask him to forge the Infinity Gauntlet. "You want to collect the Infinity Stones? That is no easy task, Your Majesty." He was well aware of the reputation of the Infinity Stones and advised, "In countless ages past, no one has ever gathered all the Infinity Stones. Without the Stones, the Gauntlet is merely an ornament." Hela said calmly, "It is not I who needs the Infinity Gauntlet." Eitri was taken aback and couldn't help shifting his gaze to Wang Bo. "It's you." Wang Bo said, "It is me." "You want to collect the Infinity Stones? Do you know how difficult that is?" Facing the dwarf king's skeptical gaze, Wang Bo calmly pulled out the Mind Stone, Soul Stone, Space Stone, and Reality Stone from his fourth-dimensional pocket. "The remaining two stones: one is on Midgard, the other on Xandar." The dwarf king was speechless. Now he finally understood why Wang Bo wanted the Infinity Gauntlet—he had already collected four Infinity Stones and knew the whereabouts of the remaining two. He was only one step away from success, so of course he needed the Gauntlet. Hela asked, "Can you do it?" Eitri nodded gravely. He knew he had no right to refuse, so he said, "Yes, but it will take some time." "No problem," Hela agreed. "But I want you to start immediately." King Eitri did not refuse. He turned and left, summoning the other dwarves to set aside their other work and begin forging the true Infinity Gauntlet. With Wang Bo possessing four Infinity Stones, their planet could not afford to provoke him. So this forging must succeed; failure was absolutely not allowed. Meanwhile, Wang Bo watched the dwarves begin their work, then turned to Hela and said, "You stay here to supervise. I'm going to Xandar." Hela naturally knew what Wang Bo was going to Xandar for, but she did not stop him. Wang Bo took out the Space Stone, activated it, and teleported directly from Nidavellir to Xandar. Xandar first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy. Its level of technology and civilization surpassed Earth's, making it quite prosperous—a veritable interstellar hub. But even such a planet was crushed by Thanos, who took the Power Stone without any pressure. This gave people the impression that Xandar was weak. After all, even Earth's superheroes could put up a fight, and Xandar was stronger than Earth—why would it let Thanos take the Infinity Stone? But Wang Bo knew that Xandar was not weak at all. On the contrary, Xandar was actually very strong, and its Nova Corps was quite famous throughout the universe. Before obtaining the Power Stone, Ronan the Accuser dared not attack Xandar. All this proved one thing: Xandar's overall strength was formidable. However, their opponent Thanos was too powerful, so Xandar was crushed by him. Now Wang Bo had come to Xandar, and his strength surpassed Thanos'. If he wished, he could crush Xandar just like Thanos. Unfortunately, Wang Bo was not a madman like Thanos, who would slaughter half the population of any planet he visited. His goal this time was the Power Stone, not to start a war with Xandar. So upon entering Xandar, Wang Bo's first task was to locate the Power Stone. Then he opened a portal and entered the vault built for the Power Stone on Xandar. Although the vault was loaded with a host of black technology and traps to protect the Power Stone, they were useless before Wang Bo. After entering the vault, Wang Bo dismantled all the traps with one hand, picked up the Power Stone, and left calmly. The entire process took less than three minutes. This included the time Wang Bo spent locating the Infinity Stone. By the time the Xandarians reacted and rushed to the vault, all that remained was an empty chamber. The intruder and the Power Stone had vanished without a trace. After obtaining the Power Stone, Wang Bo returned to the dwarf planet Nidavellir, where he saw a swarm of dwarves busily working. Hela said with some surprise, "Back so soon? Did you get it?" Wang Bo pulled out the Power Stone and showed it to her. Hela glanced at it a few times and then looked away. This was not to say she wasn't covetous of the Infinity Stones; in fact, she knew their reputation well. But since the Stones were in Wang Bo's hands, she had to pretend not to see them. The two stood in the forge, quietly waiting for the dwarves to finish. Long ago, the dwarves of Nidavellir had forged a replica of the Infinity Gauntlet for Odin, and they still had the mold. This mold saved them a great deal of time. A few hours later, the dwarves used the power of a neutron star to melt special metal and poured the molten metal into the mold. After cooling, the Infinity Gauntlet was finally complete. The dwarves carried the Gauntlet before Wang Bo. He picked up the still-hot Gauntlet without feeling any heat, causing King Eitri to twitch. After all, the Gauntlet had been forged using the high temperature of a neutron star, its heat unimaginable. The dwarves dared not touch it. But Wang Bo put it on without losing a single hair, showing just how terrifying he was. After putting on the Gauntlet, Wang Bo embedded the Space, Mind, Reality, Power, and finally the Soul Stone onto it one by one. He flexed his fingers and said slowly, "Good." Eitri said, "I'm glad you're satisfied." At the same time, he was somewhat surprised. Wang Bo had only had four stones earlier, but now he had five in the blink of an eye. It seemed that the Infinity Stones, after millennia, were finally about to be gathered by someone. The entire universe would tremble, though he didn't know who would be the unlucky one. But he didn't know that Wang Bo had no intention of using the Infinity Gauntlet's power in this universe. On the very night he obtained the Gauntlet, he bid farewell to Hela and entered a new universe.
