Marvel's whitewashing cop, you want me to save the world?

Chapter 144 Rebellious Enma, Frost Requiem

I've had the blueprints for the space warehouse for a while now, but I haven't been able to synthesize them yet.

The original 3x3 grid was already completely filled with various equipment.

Before each mission, I have to unload all the things I don't need in the restroom stalls to make room for them.

He tried to reach out and touch the Rubik's Cube, wanting to put it directly into his storage space.

The moment my fingertip touched the energy field emitting a pale blue glow on the surface of the Rubik's Cube, a message popped up on the screen: Storage failed.

The Rubik's Cube itself contains an enormous amount of spatial energy.

Before the warehouse upgrade is completed, there is no way to identify items as collectible.

He didn't try again, but pulled his hand back and let it hang at his sides, standing still and waiting quietly.

Steve, Coulson, Natasha, Barton, and Melinda stood a few steps behind him, but no one asked what he was waiting for, nor did anyone interrupt him.

These individuals all emerged from the ruins of S.H.I.E.L.D., and had spent a considerable amount of time dealing with Lee En, learning the same thing:

When someone suddenly stands motionless in front of something, waiting quietly is more useful than asking questions.

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

The light screen in Li En's field of vision refreshed.

The space warehouse has expanded from 3x3 to 4x4, with sixteen neatly arranged compartments, and the maximum weight limit for a single compartment is displayed as 400 jin (approximately 200 kg).

He reached out to the Cosmic Cube again, his fingers spread, as if to put it into storage.

The message still pops up: Storage failed.

He withdrew his hand, this time without waiting any longer.

The interface of the forging workshop was opened directly.

The Rebellion Greatsword slid out of the storage compartment, its blade twirling halfway through the air before landing in the forge's feed inlet.

Yama's Blade followed closely behind, and was thrown in along with its sheath.

The vibranium dagger followed last, its blade lightly tapping the edge of the feed inlet before being drawn in by an invisible force.

After all three pieces of equipment were put into the furnace, he reached out to the Cosmic Cube again.

This time, instead of trying to put the Rubik's Cube back in storage, he placed his palm on the energy field on the surface of the Rubik's Cube.

On the forging workshop interface, the "Space Stone Power" requirement bar, which was originally grayed out, lit up at the same moment.

The light switched from a dim gray to an extremely pure blue, perfectly matching the fluorescence of the Cosmic Cube itself.

A new prompt appeared on the screen—Start forging?

Lee Eun chose "Yes".

The Space Gem icon on the Forging page has started to change.

The phantom of the blue gem rose from the requirements list, hovering above the silhouettes of the Rebellion Greatsword and the Yamato, and then slowly began to rotate.

With each rotation, an extremely fine wisp of blue stardust detaches from the gem's phantom and drifts down toward the silhouettes of the two weapons below.

At the same moment, the silhouette of the vibranium dagger shattered into countless tiny points of light.

The points of light did not dissipate, but split into two streams, each flowing towards the outlines of the Rebellion Greatsword and the Yamato Blade, and merging into them.

A new message popped up below the light screen: Forging time remaining - thirty minutes.

In the real world, the Cosmic Cube begins to slowly rotate.

At first, it was almost impossible to see any movement. Only after staring at it for a few seconds could one notice that the blue fluorescent light on the pedestal was changing its reflection angle extremely slowly.

But that slow pace didn't last long; the rotation speed began to climb in an extremely smooth curve, faster and faster.

Visible air distortion began to appear around the Rubik's Cube, and several rows of red abnormal readings simultaneously appeared on the dials of the monitoring equipment.

An extremely sharp alarm blared from an old-fashioned piece of equipment.

Coulson drew his pistol from his waist almost reflexively, pointing the muzzle diagonally at the ground, his voice tense.

"What's going on? Li En, why did the Rubik's Cube suddenly start moving?"

"Don't worry, I'm just using it to build something—it'll only take thirty minutes."

Li En's voice was steady, but his body had been in the same position since the beginning, his right hand reaching for the Rubik's Cube, his five fingers spread, motionless.

Another line of text appeared on the screen in his field of vision; it had just popped up and was concisely worded.

Please maintain your current posture until the forging is complete.

He paused for a moment after being told he couldn't move for thirty minutes, and then spoke.

"Please keep watch over this house for me during this time and don't let anyone in to disturb me."

"Understood." Steve didn't ask any further questions.

He turned around and made a very simple gesture toward Natasha, Barton, and Melinda.

The four of them walked out of the room at the same time, their footsteps crisp and clean.

He stopped at the door and glanced at Coulson again.

"You stay here. Whoever tries to enter this door—even if I myself turn back—shoot them without hesitation."

"Roger that." Coulson pushed the safety off his pistol, walked to the entrance of the room, stood with his back against the wall, the muzzle pointing down, but his index finger was already on the trigger guard, and his breathing was very steady.

From outside the door came Steve's short, clear commands as he set up the defenses.

Natasha and Barton Melinda's responses were brief, then the footsteps faded into the distance.

The laboratory fell silent again.

The Cosmic Cube spun faster and faster in Li En's hands. The blue light gradually changed from a soft glow to a flashing, cold-toned lightning bolt, with the interval between each flash shortening.

On the forging page, the silhouettes of the Rebellion Greatsword and the Yamato have begun to change.

Their outlines gradually blurred as they were enveloped in blue stardust and vibranium light.

Starting from the edge, it decomposes into extremely fine particles little by little, and then rearranges, recombines, and merges under the guidance of some unseen force.

Two separate weapons are being disassembled to their most basic level and then rewoven back into one thing.

Thirty minutes felt exceptionally long in this extreme silence.

Coulson's forehead was already covered with a fine layer of sweat.

He didn't wipe it, nor did he change his breathing rhythm; his gaze was fixed on the crack of the blast door at the entrance of the room.

There was no unusual movement in the corridor.

The last grain of blue stardust has settled on the forging page.

The silhouettes of the two weapons have completely merged into a new outline.

It was a slender, blade-shaped silhouette, its proportions somewhere between the broadness of the Rebellion Greatsword and the slenderness of the Yamato.

It retains the imposing and steady feel of a greatsword, while also possessing the elegant and cold light unique to the Yamato.

The names below the silhouettes have been updated.

Lee En let out a heavy sigh and pulled his right hand back from above the Cosmic Cube.

He clicked the "Take Out" button on the forging page, and the brand-new weapon slid from the light screen into his palm.

The moment I touched it, my wrist sank down.

It is extremely solid, with the center of gravity located not far in front of the hilt, allowing for a heavier strike by utilizing momentum when swinging.

At the same time, the light curve of the blade itself ensures that the retraction speed will not be slowed down.

Rebellious Enma.

The shape of the blade was ultimately set in the form of an elongated Tang sword.

The knife retains the spiky outline of the Rebellion Greatsword's hilt, only in much smaller proportions.

The original large hand guard that covered the entire back of the hand has been replaced with a delicate size that just covers the knuckles.

The hilt is the original shape of the Yamato, and the pattern of the rope wrapping and the matte metallic luster on the tsuba are connected very naturally, without any trace of splicing.

The blade is nearly two meters long and has a dark red halo that flows slowly along the curve of the blade.

The introductory entries on the light screen were extremely concise.

【Rebellious Enma】Characteristics: Resilient, Sharp. Special Abilities: Separation, Fusion.

Li En's lips curled up.

Resilience and sharpness are the legacy left by the vibranium dagger he previously melted into the forge.

Its unparalleled durability, exceptional toughness, and sharpness have been fully preserved.

The terms "separation" and "integration" have no modifiers or restrictions.

It did not mention "separation space" or "fusion magic".

Without drawing any boundary lines, it was simply and straightforwardly displayed in the entry column.

He held the Rebellious Yama in his hand, the dark red halo of the blade reflected in his pupils, flashing on and off.

This knife currently only has a four-word description, but he knows it better than anyone else.

What's truly terrifying is when an item's stats don't need any modifiers to define their scope of effect.

Separate what? Merge what?

The answer is not determined by the terms, but by the person wielding the knife.

With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved the rebellious Yama back into his spatial storage, then looked up and called out towards the door.

"Steve, could you come here for a moment?"

"Is it over?" Steve's voice came from outside the door, and he stepped across the threshold.

His shield was strapped to his left forearm, and his right hand held a tactical pistol, the muzzle pointing diagonally at the ground. His steps were rapid but each one was extremely steady.

He saw that Coulson was still standing guard by the door frame.

Coulson didn't answer Steve immediately, but instead glanced back in Lee's direction.

Li Enchao nodded to him.

"It's over, I can move now."

Coulson then put the safety back on the pistol and put it back in the holster on his waist.

Steve walked up to Lee, glanced at the Tesseract that had returned to stillness and was once again suspended above the metal pedestal, and asked, "Can we begin the transfer now?"

"Okay." Li En said, reaching out and patting Steve's right arm twice with casual force, like a comrade-in-arms casually greeting each other when passing by.

As he lowered his hand from Steve's shoulder, his fingertips brushed very naturally against the edge of Captain America's vibranium shield.

The instant his fingertips touched the shield, he pried a few grams of vibranium off the shield and silently dropped it into the feed port of the forging page.

There are already three pistols on it: Requiem, Ivory, and Ebony.

[Confirmed to be synthesized as Requiem]

A new prompt immediately popped up on the forging page.

Li En's gaze swept over the line of words, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

[Requiem Forged Complete]

Then he dragged Requiem into the forge again, and threw Cebras, the nunchaku, in as well.

After doing all that, he reached out again, wiped Steve's shield again, and scraped off a few more grams of vibranium.

This action was not done discreetly; in fact, it could be said that he reached out and touched Steve's shield right in front of him.

Steve looked down at the round shield that had been touched twice, then looked up at Li En's hand that was pulling back.

His brows furrowed slowly, his mouth opened, and he hadn't yet figured out how to ask.

Coulson, standing next to him, tilted his head and looked over, his expression puzzled.
