Kamen Rider ZZZ from the American comic book world

"I've decided, the weapon I want should be..."

Li Ai told Aitley about the idea of ​​the Faiz blaster.

“A transforming weapon? I understand what you’re thinking.” Aite said with a deep gaze. He had also made such weapons, such as Sif’s sword, which had a similar effect.

The Dwarf King's craftsmanship was certainly trustworthy, but Li Ai still felt a little uneasy when she thought of Attri's works, which were known for their wildness.

“Mr. Attri, may I participate in the weapon manufacturing process?” Li Ai asked.

"You can also make weapons?" A hint of surprise appeared in Aite's eyes. He did not expect that this powerful man would also know the craftsmanship.

“That’s right.” Li Ai nodded repeatedly, pressing his hand on the black and silver breastplate, his eyes serious.

"I've actually built some equipment myself, so I have some knowledge in this area. Besides, this is the universe's top-tier forging workshop..."

"Hahaha, I get it! You want to take this opportunity to learn, right?" Aite laughed heartily, looking delighted with the compliment. He raised his large, fan-like hand and patted Li Ai on the shoulder, agreeing:

"Then come along, friendly strongman."

“Thank you, King of Dwarves,” Li Ai said politely.

Nidavi and Asgard are indeed allies; their bold and unrestrained personalities are truly in sync.

Moreover, Li Ai was a powerful figure brought by Thor to Nidavellir to help resolve the insect swarm, demonstrating both strong abilities and solid connections.

“You guys go ahead with your work, I’ll go check on Hogan and Vostagg.” Thor knew that what was coming up wasn’t his area of ​​expertise, so he decided to visit his friends instead.

Aite is a decisive and efficient craftsman, and he immediately took action to create the transforming weapon that Li Ai mentioned.

Li Ai took the initiative to take over the mold design work, while Aiteli was responsible for calculating the metal ratio.

Because the weapon Li Ai wanted wouldn't be made entirely of Uru metal.

Uru metal itself is of excellent quality, and its strength is determined by the user. Thor's Mjolnir and Odin's Gangnir were both made of Uru metal.

But Li Ai also has Goodnight Steel, which is more suitable for him, as well as Vibranium.

Goodnight steel is a material suitable for dream abilities, vibranium has excellent conductivity, and with the addition of uru metal, Li Ai wanted to use these three materials to create a weapon.

About half an Earth day later, Aitley finished adjusting the metal proportions, and Li Ai also drew up the design using Nidavellis's tools.

"Have you decided on a name for this weapon?" Aitley asked while reviewing the design drawings.

“Triple explosive device,” Li Ai said.

The weapon in the design has the transformation mechanism of the Faiz Burst, and Li Ai later planned to use other methods to enable this weapon to use the power of three capsules at the same time, hence the name Triple Burst.

However, the 'triple blaster' on this design is incomplete because Li Ai omitted some of the internal structure in order to complete the weapon as soon as possible, and planned to improve it slowly after returning to Earth.

Aite noticed this as well, but didn't say much. After all, strong people always have their own habits, and it's not worth making a point of mentioning them.

Just as Aetry wouldn't ask Odin what magical spells he cast on Mjolnir.

"Alright, then get ready to use the new weapon."

Aetry rolled up the blueprints and made a mold for the triple rupture device. Then he put the three materials—Goodnet steel, Uru metal, and vibranium—into the forging furnace.

The violent energy from the neutron star surged into the forging furnace, and the high-temperature calcination for more than ten minutes melted the three materials. The molten iron flowed into the mold through the pipes.

Once the mold itself began to glow red, Aitley manipulated the mechanism to smash the disposable mold with a hydraulic hammer, exposing the weapon components, which had not yet dissipated their heat, to the air.

Several heat-resistant robotic arms immerse these components in a special liquid, rapidly cooling them while increasing the weapon's toughness and strength, allowing the triple blaster to withstand more severe combat.

After the robotic arm removed the weapon parts from the quenching liquid, Li Ai stepped forward and took the parts himself. He wiped off the moisture and assembled them together.

The final product is a pure white silver color. In the preparatory mode, it is shaped like a suitcase. Li Ai grabbed the handle in the middle of the suitcase and flicked it gently. The structure unfolded into a greatsword mode, and the blade gleamed coldly under the light.

Li Ai raised his greatsword, its smooth, mirror-like blade reflecting his face. He smiled slightly, turned the hilt, and pieces of metal extended outward, enveloping the blade and forming a cannon barrel—the firing mode.

"This weapon, called the Triple Burst Weapon, has a very good foundation; in terms of materials alone, it surpasses Mjolnir," Aite said meaningfully, watching Li Ai test the weapon.

"But Mjolnir's power is not just due to its materials. Odin gave it divine protection, and there is a dying star inside that provides it with a continuous source of power. That's why Mjolnir is in Thor's hands."

"Don't worry, I have other ways to make the Triple Explosion even stronger," Li Ai said with a smile. He transformed the Triple Explosion back into suitcase mode and then said to Attri:

"Thank you for your great help, King of Dwarves."

“You’ve shown me some very interesting designs.” Aite stroked his mustache, handed the design back to Li Ai, and said with a smile:

"You should go find Thor. I'm also curious to see his expression when he sees you have a new weapon."

“That would be very interesting.” Just as Li Ai was about to go find Thor, she saw a dwarf running frantically towards Aetrie, anxiously saying:

"Your Majesty, the Nova Corps has arrived."

Chapter 192 Earth Boys in the Nova Corps

“The Nova Corps?” Aetry frowned and asked, “What are they doing in Nidavellir?”

"They said a small patrol team discovered traces of the Annihilation Zerg, so they came to ask us about it," the dwarf who came to report the matter said truthfully.

“Want to know about the Annihilation Zerg? Then grant their wish,” Attri replied.

“But Nidavi is an ally of Asgard and does not accept the protection of the Nova Corps. You must remember that.”

"Alright." The dwarf who came to report the matter nodded.

Li Ai, on the other hand, was very interested in the name 'Nova Corps'. In his previous life, he had watched an animated series in which there was also a 'Nova', who was one of Spider-Man's teammates in that universe.

“The Nova Corps?” Li Ai looked at Attri and asked, “What kind of organization is that?”

"You don't know about the Nova Corps?" Aite was a little surprised that Li Ai was unaware of the Nova Corps' background, but he didn't say much. After clearing his throat, he explained:

"The Nova Corps originated on Xandar. It started as a militia and exploration organization, and gradually developed into an interstellar armed force. It is willing to protect planets under the administration of the Nova Corps. Because its style of doing things is acceptable, it has a good reputation in the universe."

"I see..." Li Ai nodded, then suggested, "May I take a look?"

“You can go wherever you want,” Attri replied.

Li Ai then followed the dwarf who had come to report the matter earlier, heading to the shipyard to witness the new star legion capable of maintaining order in the universe.

At Nidave Shipyard, five Nova Corps members stepped off a golden star-shaped spaceship. They wore black and gold uniforms, and each wore a helmet with a red star emblem.

Outsiders can judge the rank of the Nova based on the complexity of the insignia on their helmets and uniforms. The leading Nova has a gold dot pattern arranged in an inverted triangle on his chest, while the other four only have two gold dots on their chests, clearly indicating that their rank is lower than that of their 'captain'.

But this so-called captain looked like he hadn't fully developed; even through the helmet, outsiders could tell he was still a child.

"This Nova Corps is so ruthless in using child labor?" Li Ai frowned, then he heard the Nova leader say to the dwarf wearing a translator:

"I come on behalf of the Nova Corps to offer my condolences to the victims of the insect plague. For the sake of cosmic order and peace, I would like to know how you repelled the Annihilation Zerg..."

The young rising star spoke with righteous indignation, but the dwarf wearing the translator was not very good at socializing and said in a muffled voice:

“Simple, because we are allies of Asgard. Ask Asgard if you have any questions.”

"This..." The young star was clearly inexperienced. After being told this, he subconsciously turned to look at his colleagues behind him, seemingly wanting help.

"Roman, I..."

"Then ask when the insect plague started and when it ended," the Nova Corps member called 'Roman' whispered a reminder.

“Okay, sure.” The young star nodded repeatedly and continued negotiating with the dwarf according to the rhetoric taught by Roman.

Li Ai, wearing an earphone-style translator, listened to their conversation from behind a wall.

The Nova helmet comes with a built-in two-way translation function, which allows the wearer to understand the target's language and translate the wearer's words into a language that the other party can understand.

But Li Ai discovered that even without the translator, he could understand the language spoken by the young star. To make sure he hadn't misheard, he listened to the languages ​​of the other rising stars and confirmed that the young star was speaking English.

"Such perfect English... Could he be from Earth?"

Li Ai frowned, feeling puzzled by the sudden appearance of an Earth boy in the universe. He then walked towards the Nova Legion members who were negotiating with the dwarves.

"Who are you?" A Nova Corps member looked at Li Ai warily, after all, the size difference between Earthlings and dwarves was particularly obvious, and some Nova Corps members even mistook Li Ai's race.

"Are you Asgardian?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ai glanced down at her black and silver light armor, then looked at the rising star and said directly in English:

"You're from Earth? I can understand your language without a translator. Don't worry, I'm from Earth too."

"..."

The young star was silent for a moment, then, realizing he understood the sentence without a translator, his eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly repeatedly:

“My name is Sam Alexander, I live in Queens, New York City, New York, and I am fifteen years old.”

Fifteen years old? Isn't that the same age as Peter? Li Ai was slightly taken aback, thinking that this boy probably hadn't seen an Earthling in a long time, which was why he was so excited after seeing him.

“I also live in Queens, so we live very close to each other,” Li Ai said with a friendly smile.

"You and Sam are both from Earth?" The Nova member named Roman looked at Li Ai.

“I am indeed from Earth,” Li Ai asked. “Then who are you?”

“My name is Roman Day, a member of the Nova Corps, and a good friend of Sam Alexander’s father. I am currently his second-in-command,” Roman introduced himself.

Sam has another father? Li Ai sensed that this matter was somewhat complicated, so she asked:

"Sam, how exactly did you become a rising star?"

"My dad picked me up from school that day..." Sam recounted his experience.

In short, Sam and his father Jesse Alexander encountered aliens one day, and after some twists and turns, they arrived in space and became rising stars.

But Jesse Alexander died in the battle against the Annihilation Clan, and Sam took over his helmet, becoming a rising star.

On the day Alexander and his son went to space, Li Ai had just finished his battle with Freddy and was recuperating in the hospital in Springwood, so he naturally had no chance to intervene.

"I wonder how my mother is doing on Earth..." Sam sighed, looking down.

“Sam, you are a very strong child.” Li Ai looked at Sam with kind eyes, then turned to Roman Day, frowning as she asked:

"So can he come back to Earth with me? That's his home, and he's only fifteen."

“I need to consult with Nova Supreme, Ms. Ilani.” Roman Day nodded, then relayed the news of their encounter with Sam’s fellow countrymen in Nidavellir.

"Sir, it wasn't the Nova Corps that forcibly prevented me from going home," Sam quickly said, realizing that Li Ai might have misunderstood.

"The Annihilation Zerg are a threat to all civilizations. I fight them in the universe to protect my mother on Earth."

“Your sense of responsibility is quite similar to that of one of my friends, and you’re even the same age, so you’ll definitely get along well,” Li Ai said with a smile, rubbing her forehead.

At this moment, Roman Day received a reply. He glanced at his friend's son and said:

"Ms. Ilani has agreed to your return to Earth. She has allowed you to keep the Nova Helmet and has given you a long-term mission: 'Help Earth resist the Annihilation Zerg invasion.'"

Chapter 193 The universe is indeed full of hidden talents.

The fact that the New Star Legion's leadership agreed so readily was somewhat unexpected for Li Ai.

"Does Ms. Irani mean for me to go back to Earth?" Sam asked his Uncle Roman.

“That’s exactly what she meant.” Roman smiled kindly and explained, “While you’re a good fit for the Nova Corps, you’re too young, Sam.”

"Is there a reason why I didn't do a good enough job in the investigation?" Sam said with some self-reproach.

“It’s because you’re too lonely in the universe.” Li Ai also saw the source of the boy’s heartache. “Sam, and there are people on Earth who care about you. Although you haven’t noticed, this longing will gradually affect your judgment.”

“Your compatriot is absolutely right,” Roman affirmed.

“Is that so…” Sam lowered his head to think for a moment, then looked up at Li Ai and Roman and said:

"Then I am willing to take on the long-term mission of guarding Earth."

"That's right." Roman smiled with satisfaction.

“But I still have to go back to Xandar,” Sam said. “I need to go back and get some things.”

“No problem, Xandar will always welcome you.” Roman turned to Li Ai and invited her:

"Do you want to come along? Xandar is very welcoming."

"Isn't this spaceship crowded?" Li Ai asked, looking at the Nova spaceship, which was far smaller than the Asgardian warship.

“It’s alright, I can help you steer the boat.” Sif, carrying a sword and shield, walked towards Li Ai and offered her assistance.

"I happen to be going to Xandar."

"Asgardians?" Romando glanced at Sif.

In the eyes of other civilizations, the Asgardians can be considered a "warrior race," and people need to think twice before facing them.

However, the Asgardians were relatively easy to get along with; the Kree were a much more difficult civilization to navigate.
