Time passed, and a week had gone by since the great battle in Asgard.
Within that week, the Nine Realms were abuzz with various news flying around.
But without a doubt, the name Rimuru was absolutely the most frequently mentioned word.
Svartalfheim.
The Dark Elves' kingdom.
At this moment, the Dark Elves' high-ranking officials, gathered together, all looked at each other in unimaginable silence.
Odin weakened, and three kingdoms attacked Asgard. They originally thought it was an opportunity to unseal the Aether Particle and return the Nine Realms to darkness, but no one expected a "Rimuru King" to suddenly appear.
Although Midgard had Sorcerer Ancient One presiding over it, besides Ancient One, the other mages were completely vulnerable.
They could barely protect themselves and had no say in the Nine Realms; they were completely insignificant.
But no one expected that from such a backward, wild planet, a brilliant individual like Rimuru would emerge.
More importantly, she was completely different from Ancient One.
Ancient One was almost a lone wolf, and she was content, only guarding her own small territory.
But Rimuru was different; she was originally an Earthling from Midgard, yet she was also the Imperial Tutor to the Asgardian Crown Prince and concurrently served as the King of Jötunheimr.
Calculating this, she had quietly taken over one-third of the Nine Realms' dominion.
After Odin, would Rimuru become the new "God King"?
This was not good news for the Dark Elves!
With the convergence of the Nine Realms approaching, the Dark Elves had to make a decision; otherwise, it would be another tens of thousands of years of waiting.
Tens of thousands of years! Even for long-lived species, that was a vast expanse of time, and who knew what might happen.
Malekith: "When Rimuru and Laufey dueled, did she really transform into a 300-meter-tall Surtur?"
Kors: "Absolutely certain."
Malekith: "Send an envoy to Muspelheim. Queen Sindr will surely be very interested in this news!"
Kors: "Yes, King!"
Nidavellir.
The legendary home of the Dwarves, the race with the most exquisite forging skills in the Universe.
Any divine weapon or sharp tool produced by the Dwarves was a priceless treasure in the Universe, with demand far exceeding supply.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it could stir up a storm of blood!
In the MCU Universe, every weapon forged by the Dwarves was a masterpiece.
Mjolnir, Infinity Gauntlet, Stormbreaker, Destroyer, and even Thanos's Tyrant Blades were all forged by the Dwarves.
Tyrant Blades, which was the great sword Thanos used in Avengers 4, once shattered Captain America's shield with a few strikes.
Imagine its immense power!
Precisely because they are masterpieces, the threshold for commissioning the Dwarves to forge a weapon is exceptionally high.
Most people who want the Dwarves to forge a divine weapon will be refused nine times out of ten.
Today, Dwarf King Eitri summoned a group of the most skilled Dwarf artisans.
He planned to open the furnace again!
This news immediately caused a sensation in Nidavellir.
Dwarf King Eitri had not personally forged a divine weapon for many years, and no one expected him to have the inclination today to do it himself.
Eitri: "I intend to forge a King's weapon for Rimuru King as a congratulatory gift for her coronation. You may speak your minds freely!"
Forge a King's weapon for Rimuru King? As a gift?
Everyone looked at each other.
After a period of whispering, everyone immediately became enthusiastic.
She killed Fire King Surtur and Laufey right after her debut—this was an absolutely ruthless individual!
Cannot be provoked, cannot be provoked!
Although the Dwarves are skilled artisans, they are not adept at combat.
This was also why Nidavellir was the first to surrender when Odin conquered the Nine Realms.
Facts proved that the Dwarves' surrender this time was very effective.
The Asgardians were very good to their subordinates and indeed protected Nidavellir's safety.
Presenting a King's weapon in exchange for Rimuru King's friendship seemed like a very worthwhile deal.
Seeing that the artisans had no objections, Dwarf King Eitri spoke: "According to the currently known information, Rimuru King is extremely skilled in combat. She once single-handedly fought an army and displayed various weapons."
The Dwarf artisans pondered: this ability is very similar to Hela's Necroswords!
Should they forge another Necrosword, or an upgraded version of Necroswords?
What if Rimuru King found out and got angry? This wouldn't be forming an alliance, but seeking revenge!
How could a King use a weapon that someone else had already used?
"Rimuru King is proficient in lightning, fire, and ice magic."
Eitri shared the collected information with the artisans, and their expressions became even more spectacular.
Rimuru King's offensive methods are too diverse, aren't they?!
This might not be hearsay!
If it's true, what kind of King's weapon could be worthy of Rimuru King?
Deep in the Universe.
A living planet was currently undergoing a massive slaughter.
Half of its life forms perished directly in this massacre.
"Gamora, I won this killing contest!" Nebula provocatively gloated.
"Shut up. If it weren't for me, you would have been chopped to bits by the enemy!"
Gamora, holding the "Godslayer" dagger, killed a resistor, feeling like she was about to cry from Nebula's foolishness.
She even wanted to compete in slaughter?
Even more foolishly, to win, she didn't even care about her own life!
Nebula sneered. She knew Gamora's past and how to torment her good sister.
The more Gamora suffered, the happier she became.
Gamora said she didn't want to compete with her, but in every fight, she always lost to her again and again!
And every time she failed, a part of her body would be transformed into machinery by "Father"—she really felt a lot of pain!
After the slaughter, Nebula, Gamora, and the Black Order all gathered beside Thanos.
Just then, Ebony Maw, one of the Black Order, spoke: "Great Master, there is news from the Nine Realms that you asked me to keep a close watch on."
"Oh?"
Thanos immediately became interested. The Nine Realms were a forbidden place in his heart.
There were Infinity Stones he wanted there, and more than one, but he had been defeated there twice—by Odin and Ancient One!
Ebony Maw: "Master, Odin has weakened considerably for some unknown reason. Jotunheim, Muspelheim, and Vanaheim—three kingdoms—have raised armies to attack…"
Listening to Ebony Maw's report, the remaining four Black Order members, Nebula, and Gamora were all astonished.
The Nine Realms ruled by Odin were one of the safest regions in the Universe.
Even Thanos had to keep his distance!
Asgard was even called "Shangri-La" by various races in the Universe!
Asgard's power was also renowned throughout the Universe.
The reason why the dagger in Gamora's hand was called "Godslayer" was precisely because it could harm Asgardians.
That's right, even if you look across the entire Universe, Asgardians are "God"-level beings.
Now, Asgard was being attacked by three other kingdoms?
Thanos couldn't help but smile: "The strength of the various races in the Nine Realms is too strong; there are no weak ones. It's good for them to fight amongst themselves and consume each other!"
Gamora: "Is Odin dead?"
Everyone also looked towards Ebony Maw. As Thanos's generals, they knew something about the long-standing feud between Thanos and Odin.
If Odin died, the Nine Realms would probably be Master's next target for conquest!
Ebony Maw: "Master, Odin is in a deep slumber and did not appear in this battle. However, an Earthling named Rimuru Tempest shone brightly. She is now concurrently the King of Jötunheimr!"
Drip! Drip!
There was a moment of silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Just by listening to Ebony Maw's recounting, they could sense the power of this newly emerging Rimuru King.
To attack the Nine Realms with such a powerful being presiding over them?
Everyone felt their scalps tingle just thinking about it!
Gamora, however, was secretly delighted. Earthling Rimuru Tempest?
Perhaps she could stop her father's scheme!
Thanos pondered, not hesitating or backing down because of Rimuru's power.
"The plan to collect the Infinity Stones cannot fail. Perhaps it's time to find someone to test Rimuru King's strength!"
