Chapter 215: Origin Furnace, the Evolved Helios, the Power to Resurrect the Undead
No problem, should we first capture that cosmic god, or go find that god's skull? Luode looked at Sargeras, wanting to hear Sargeras' opinion.
In the Collector's void realm, that massive god's skull, according to the comics' plot, was cut off by the Dark God, but in the movie universe it remains an unknown.
Before crossing over, many netizens had been discussing that Star-Lord's father Ego's true form was completely just an exposed brain of a celestial god.
Could he be the brain of that dead celestial god, which awakened self-consciousness in some accident, thereby giving birth to his deformity? Although he calls himself a god, the true godly faction doesn't care about him at all; this guy is probably just a brain wielding celestial power.
From the moment he gained self-consciousness, he has merely passively learned celestial power, never strengthening his own celestial power, only learning to manipulate celestial energy and wrapping himself in a planetary shell.
Sargeras pondered for a moment, looked at Luode and said: "Let's deal with that cosmic god first! I'm worried that if too much time passes, he'll escape."
"He can't run; he can't move his own planet."
"No way he could run! Even if he hid himself, it would be useless."
Over the next few days, Sargeras began learning from the dwarves how to extract white dwarf material; the dwarves used a special magic, combined with certain specific machines, to extract white dwarf material.
The dwarves gave Sargeras the blueprints for this machine, and also made two ready-to-use sets for him to use, while the accompanying magic was also learned by Sargeras.
Although the dwarves have some technological aspects, they basically follow a mythic magic system, so they also extract white dwarf material using magic, which happens to be Sargeras' forte.
If one were to use a spaceship and construct some precise instruments to capture white dwarves, Sargeras alone couldn't manage it; he'd have to send back scientists from the Burning Legion to handle it.
Moreover, Sargeras also had the Origin Furnace built for the dwarves, pouring in large amounts of his own order energy; with two Infinity Stones at his side, Sargeras could freely convert order energy.
That day Sargeras finally finished assembling the Origin Furnace, standing about a hundred meters tall, enormous in size.
Its core glowed with pale blue flames, filled with Titan divine power, the massive furnace was built upon the dwarves' planet.
After this giant furnace was completed, the entire dwarf race rejoiced.
"This is practically a miracle; I can't believe there's still such a perfect furnace in this world!"
"It's too perfect; besides smelting steel, it can also forge weapons, forge artifacts, and is even easier to use than our furnaces."
"Isn't that right? Their furnaces only have the capacity to smelt neutron-star fire."
"Unlike this giant Origin Furnace, its Titan power can perfectly accommodate neutron-star fire."
"I can't wait to forge weapons!"
"Alright, the Titan power inside should allow you to transmute some Titan god iron each day."
"But don't drain its divine power completely; it will automatically absorb energy from this universe and convert it into my divine power." Sargeras smiled at the dwarves.
"Be amazed by Titan technology! We are the world's soul, the gods of order, not those parasitic godlings."
"No problem, Lord Sargeras, we understand."
"Thank you for your selfless help; if you ever need anything, our clan will still forge weapons for you." The Dwarf King warmly bowed to Sargeras.
This giant Origin Furnace greatly helps the dwarves; besides transmuting Titan god iron, it can also convert neutron energy to assist them in heating and forging weapons.
Moreover, following Luode's suggestion, Sargeras set up some powerful magical defense formations on their planet these days.
Powered by this Origin Furnace, the magical defense barrier cannot be forcibly breached unless one's strength surpasses Sargeras' current level.
This made the dwarves sincerely admire Sargeras, and they are deeply grateful to Luode and Sargeras and company.
This defensive formation, Luode prepared it for a certain purple potato essence; these dwarves are treasures of the universe, experts in crafting artifacts.
They are truly top-tier beings capable of forging weapons for the gods to use.
"For your so-called cosmic balance, you'd wipe out their whole clan leaving just one—what utter nonsense!"
"If you're so high and mighty, why not slaughter half of them? For other peoples you kill half, but for the dwarves you'd leave only one alive, right? Frankly, Luode's take on Thanos, or that Western mindset, is just ridiculous."
"Wiping out half of universal life—this plan is downright stupid."
"Because this method is utterly useless; once food becomes abundant, the population will quickly rebound."
"Within a few decades or even centuries, it will return to previous levels, or even exceed them explosively."
"Your finger snap is useless, and the dwarves are precious master smiths—every member is valuable."
"Therefore, to prevent the dwarves from being slaughtered, Luode and Sargeras joined forces to set up a strong defensive formation here; if a certain purple potato essence comes, it will surely be unable to get away."
"In these days, Luode also traded with some dwarves, extracting some of their soul energy to craft soul-infused Homunculus constructs for them, harvesting a wave of dwarven souls."
"However, the dwarves are too few—only a few hundred—so Luode didn't harvest much, but these dwarves' soul energy is indeed immensely powerful."
"It even surpasses the soul energy of any single life-form species he has previously absorbed, second only to Thor's soul."
"Thor's soul is quite precious; Luode plans to make, upon returning, a Homunculus construct similar to Old Mother Zeus, using Thor's soul to create thunderclouds—just thinking about it is amusing."
"That day Luode received notice from the Dwarf King that Helios within their furnace had awakened."
"Luode immediately went to the forging furnace; at this very moment Helios had fully awakened."
"It radiated powerful, utterly holy light, and a scorching heat washed over."
"Hahaha! Master, I've evolved, I've become stronger, my flames are stronger and fiercer."
"Moreover, I've gained the special ability of eternal fire." Helios, upon appearing, excitedly flew to Luode's face and began introducing himself.
"This time he spent over ten days in slumber evolution, successfully absorbing a wisp of eternal fire's flame."
"Plus, the dwarves continuously supplied a special flame transmuted from neutron-star energy."
"\"Special ability? What special ability? \""
"\"Master, I can resurrect dead creatures, creating soul fire; this is the ability of eternal fire. \" Helios spoke."
"Resurrect the dead lives, giving them soul fire."
"Well! This resembles the ability Hela used in Thor 3, where she revived her most loyal legion with that move."
"Looks like my Homunculus construct could go compete with the Lich King for business—does that count as indirectly gaining a deathly power?"
"\"This special lifeform is truly impressive; it has fully absorbed the neutron-star flame, gained enhancement from eternal fire, and possesses the ability to create soul fire. \" The Dwarf King looked at the construct before him with admiration."
"This construct now wields tremendous power; the neutron-star flame is immensely potent, and it also bears the imperishable flame and the blessing of eternal fire."
"\"Very good, Helios; it seems my strongest combat Homunculus will always be you. \" Luode nodded approvingly."
"\"Of course, master; from now on feel free to use my abilities—I am your most loyal servant. \""
"\"Necessarily; after returning, master, you shall test how miraculous my undead-resurrecting ability is. \""
Helios had evolved, and Luode was very satisfied.
The power of the Eternal Fire created soul flames and manipulated death power; Luode felt a bit of anticipation! "Dwarf King, since everything here is settled, it's time for us to take our leave." Luode nodded at the Dwarf King and directly expressed his intention to leave.
The three's artifacts have been completed, and they have also become familiar with their usage.
Sargeras also obtained the extraction technology of white dwarfs, along with the matching machine design schematics.
Luode's two Homiez creations were also upgraded, and everyone's strength has greatly increased.
Now it's also time to leave; the living environment of the dwarves isn't great, and the neutron star in the sky emits a very high temperature.
"Alright! Everyone, welcome to come again to the Dwarf Kingdom." The Dwarf King nodded at Luode and the others.
After exchanging some pleasantries, the Dwarf King immediately shouted.
"Heimdall, open the transport! Send our guests back to Asgard." The arriving king was doubtful.
But after waiting a while, they didn't see a rainbow-colored beam descend from the sky to take them away.
"What's going on? Heimdall's eyes should be able to see all regions of the Nine Worlds. He heard my call, so he should have sent you away!" The arriving king was doubtful.
"It's likely something happened in Asgard; no matter, we can return ourselves." Luode directly began drawing circles in the sky, opening a portal.
In an instant it connected to Asgard; at that moment, Asgard's skies were filled with artillery fire, and numerous dark elf battleships were attacking Asgard.
"Looks like something really happened!"
