I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 448 Long-Awaited Lottery

The energy fluctuation that Erin just unleashed was powerful, but it was still some distance from a true Celestial level.

Even so.

Erin's strength is probably, maybe, perhaps... closer to the level that I dream of.

Thinking of this, Thor's lips twitched a few times.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just then, a series of footsteps, carrying a silent tremor, rapidly approached from afar.

Ten seconds later.

A towering figure, almost as tall as the palace where Arryn was, appeared outside the floor-to-ceiling window that Thor had smashed open.

"Thor, um... Arryn, what are you doing here?"

······

A few minutes later.

After Arlin explained his previous statement again, the way King Etri looked at Arlin changed.

Good guy.

Although the Dwarf King knew that Arlin was very capable, since he wouldn't have been able to resolve the evil god's corruption on him if he wasn't capable, he never imagined that Arlin was this strong.

The energy fluctuations that Erin emitted when he advanced were almost as powerful as his.

He's not much inferior to him.

It is not a derogatory term.

Although Etri is not good at fighting, he is still more powerful than Odin, the king of the gods, Malekith, the king of the dark elves, and Hela, the goddess of death.

However, as the king of the dwarven race who dominates the other world, Aetry is not weak.

If he were to wear his entire set of specially crafted artifacts, Aitri's strength would definitely be among the top of the fallen Heavenly Fathers.

After figuring this out.

The Dwarf King shook his head and said, "Aelin, your strength is truly beyond my expectations! I was originally planning to forge a powerful weapon for you after I resolved the affairs of my tribe to repay your kindness, but now it seems that I will have to forge at least a divine artifact to be worthy of you."

The stronger Arlin becomes, the more difficult it will be for the Dwarf King to repay Arlin's kindness.

At least.

After witnessing the strength that Erin had just displayed, the Dwarf King was too embarrassed to try and fool Erin with a piece of magical equipment that he had painstakingly crafted.

At the very least, one needs a divine artifact to be presentable.

Only a divine artifact could do justice to the help Erin had given him.

However, a divine artifact...

Even for a race of dwarves skilled in forging, creating a divine artifact is no easy task.

Otherwise, over the past few thousand years, the divine artifacts forged by the dwarves would have been everywhere.

Aside from forging skill and luck, crafting a divine weapon requires, more importantly, a set of materials sufficient to lay the foundation for its creation.

"Forging divine artifacts?"

He does not mean that.

Upon hearing this, Erin immediately said, "Wait, speaking of which, there's something I'd like you to work on."

talking.

Ailin reached down and pulled it off, revealing the [Zhurong Finger Bone] that was wrapped around his right hand.

After removing the illusion that concealed a constant aura that he had placed on the [Zhu Rong Finger Bone], he removed it.

The dwarf king's attention was quickly drawn to the strange bone jade that emitted peculiar fluctuations and was fiery red like blood.

"This aura..."

The dwarf king, who had spent his life forging weapons, realized the extraordinary nature of the [Zhu Rong Finger Bone] the moment he saw it.

Seeing the light in the Dwarf King's eyes, Erin took the [Zhurong Finger Bone] from his wrist and handed it to the Dwarf King, saying, "This is a small piece of the finger bone of the ancient fire god. Although that fire god has fallen, this finger bone still possesses incredible power..."

As he spoke, Erin gave the Dwarf King a general description of the characteristics of the [Zhurong Finger Bone], including its ability to contain fire, its status as the master of fire, and its power to unleash the wrath of Zhurong.

Since he was asking the Dwarf King to help process the [Zhu Rong Finger Bone], Ailin couldn't hide too much from him so that the Dwarf King could better utilize its power.

After all, the more the Dwarf King understands about the [Zhu Rong's Finger Bone], the better he can utilize its characteristics.

After receiving the piece of Zhu Rong's finger bone from Arlin, the dwarf king Eitel examined the crystal-clear, jade-like finger bone in his hand with a solemn expression.

"Such a powerful aura."

Even a single finger bone, lost for who knows how many years, could exude such a powerful aura; the Dwarf King could only imagine how powerful its original owner must have been.

Faced with this terrifying aura.

Even Surtur, the ruler of the Flame Kingdom of Muspelheim, would pale in comparison.

After a careful examination, a ball of crimson flame suddenly appeared in the hand of the Dwarf King Etri. Just as he was about to bring this scorching flame, radiating intense heat, closer to the [Zhu Rong Finger Bone] to further understand its data,

Once Ailin absorbed it into the [Zhurong Finger Bone], the Eternal Flame that had been dormant within it seemed to have been provoked.

With a "sizzle" sound.

It then surged forth from the [Zhu Rong's Finger Bone].

Like the eternal fire of a king of fire, it swept across and devoured the flames condensed by the dwarf king, annihilating them.

And it burned a black mark on the palm of the Dwarf King.

Just as the raging eternal fire grew larger again, threatening to incinerate the dwarf king Etri, it was...

Upon seeing this, Erin immediately hissed, "Go back!"

As she spoke, Erin, who had never encountered this scene before, had a sudden thought.

Instantly, the Eternal Flame, which had been so powerful just a moment ago, shrank rapidly like a wronged little wife, and then obediently "shrank" back into the [Zhu Rong's Finger Bone].

After manipulating the Eternal Flame back to the [Finger Bone of Zhurong], Erin gave the Dwarf King an apologetic smile:

"I'm sorry, I forgot that there were some small things stored inside this [Zhu Rong's finger bone]."

With that, Erin summoned the Angelic Scepter and pointed it at the Dwarf King's hand, which was slightly burned by the Eternal Fire.

Instantly, a white halo condensed from Erin's fingertips and landed in the Dwarf King's palm.

Healed by the power of holy light.

The dwarf king's burns, which were not very serious to begin with, were quickly healed.

However, the Dwarf King didn't even glance at the arm that Erin had healed. Instead, he looked at the [Zhu Rong Finger Bone] in his hand with a complicated expression and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that flame just now was no small thing. It was the eternal fire that our dwarf race has always dreamed of."

For the Eternal Flame, the Dwarf King Eitri personally led his people across the sea of ​​stars, humbly begging the King of the Gods of Asgard for this rare fire-based treasure.

But who knew that in that very instant...

The Eternal Flame emanating from the [Zhu Rong Finger Bone] in Erin's hand was far larger than the Eternal Flame he had requested from Odin.

Not only the Dwarf King, but even Thor, the God of Thunder, was shocked upon seeing the eternal flame.

The way they looked at Erin became strange.

As a supreme fire treasure, the power of the Eternal Flame is directly proportional to its rarity. Before this, only the treasury of Asgard possessed such a treasure among the Nine Realms.

Seeing Thor's slightly probing gaze, Erin said helplessly, "Don't look at me like that. Okay, I admit I am the Joker, and this eternal flame is the one I took from your vault."

talking.

A faint light flashed from Erin's body, and he transformed into the Joker he knew right in front of Thor.

After the Eternal Flame was exposed, Erin's identity as a alias was also almost completely revealed.

So Erin simply admitted to using that pseudonym.

Now that Odin is dead, Arryn doesn't need to be too wary of him.

Thor, who had already guessed Arryn's identity after seeing the eternal flame within the [Finger Bone of Zhurong], was not too surprised when he saw Arryn transformed into the Joker; instead, he seemed to realize something.

After giving Erin a vicious punch to the chest, Thor said irritably, "I knew there were so many powerful mages on Earth. Turns out, Joker and Erin are both you."

Whether it was out of a desire to vent his anger or not, Thor didn't hold back at all when he threw that punch.

The dull force caused even Erin, whose physique had just been greatly strengthened, to feel a stinging pain.

"Damn, you actually went for it!"

After taking a deep breath, Erin grinned and said, "This isn't my fault. Who knows why you were banished by Odin in the first place? Just to be on the safe side, wasn't it normal for me to go see you under an assumed identity?"

"Hmm, it was normal for you to use an alias at the beginning, but it's wrong of you to keep it from me until now. Let me tell you, this is not something that can be resolved with a drink."

···········

After a lively gathering.

The Dwarf King looked at Erin and said, "This [Zhurong Finger Bone] is made of extraordinary material; it's a natural artifact material. I'll study it carefully when I get back, and I can use it to forge a powerful fire-type artifact."

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed across Erin's face, and he said to the Dwarf King, "I don't dare to hope for a fire-type artifact, but if possible, I would like to modify this finger bone into the shape I desire."

if you can.

Ailin certainly hopes to forge the [Zhurong Finger Bone] into a divine weapon, but if it cannot be forged into a divine weapon, Ailin will not mind as long as the Zhurong Finger Bone is polished into a shape that suits him.

"Don't worry, given its inherent qualities, I wouldn't be able to face you properly if I didn't forge it into a divine artifact."

After patting his chest and making a promise, the Dwarf King looked at Arlin and stammered, "Of course, if possible, it would be even better if I could borrow the Eternal Fire from your [Zhurong Finger Bone]."

"But in that case, you'll have to come with us on the Forge to Watt Alheim."

If it were just that small spark of eternal fire borrowed from Odin's vault, it might need to be mixed with an accelerant to quickly melt the special materials of the sealed box.

But if you add the Eternal Flame in Erin's hand, then even without an accelerant, he can melt that special material even faster.

"Borrowing the eternal fire is certainly no problem."

After saying that, Erin laughed and said, "In fact, to be honest, even if you hadn't asked, I would have liked to hitch a ride on the Forge."

Then, Erin told King Etri, the dwarf king, about his and Tony's request to use the dwarf airship to return to Earth.

Upon hearing this, the dwarf king's face lit up with joy, and he patted his chest generously, promising:

"Want to return to Earth? No problem. Once we've settled things with our clan, I'll have someone pilot the Furnace to take you back immediately."

"Well, if you can't wait, I'll send you a small airship as soon as we get back to Watt Alheim, so you can fly it back to Earth."

The Dwarf Kingdom has a number of airships capable of carrying people across the stars, though not many.

The Dwarf King didn't mind giving Erin a ship containing this treasure that could traverse the stars.

If it weren't for the special significance of the Forge, the Dwarf King wouldn't have minded giving this large airship to Arryn.

Upon hearing that the Dwarf King was willing to give him a dwarf airship...

A smile immediately bloomed on Erin's face: "That would be perfect."

Whether it's magic or technology.

Spaceships capable of navigating the vast universe are all treasures.

After all, such a spaceship has not yet been developed on Earth.

Having such an airship ahead of time would be of great benefit to Erin.

and.

This also indirectly solved the problem of Erin's return to Earth.

···········

In a cheerful mood, Arlin chatted with King Etri and Thor for a while longer before seeing them off.

of course.

As Thor left, Erin reminded him to find someone to repair the poor window he had smashed.

After the two left, Erin rubbed his wrist, on the [Zhurong finger bone] that the Dwarf King had returned to him, and thought:

"A divine artifact! I wonder what kind of divine artifact this Zhu Rong finger bone will ultimately be forged into. This is truly something to look forward to!"

After saying that.

Erin then assumed a meditative posture on the bed once again.

Through meditation, and by becoming familiar with her own surging power, Erin gradually calmed down her excitement caused by her spiritual advancement.

After everything calmed down, Erin returned to the Scales Space.

The sudden enlightenment and spiritual advancement had disrupted Erin's plans.

Once everything has calmed down, Erin can continue what she was doing.

As for what to do next, it's the lottery, of course.

From the Battle of New York to the present, through countless battles, having defeated countless opponents and changed the fate of countless people, Erin has now accumulated a great deal of wealth.

67954 Fate Points—that's a huge fortune.

If only the basic lottery is performed, this could allow Erin to perform 679 lottery draws.

Thinking about this...

A thought flashed through Erin's mind.

Then he summoned the enormous, sky-covering phantom of the compass once again.
