"Master, welco back!"
Aiya's sweet, soft voice rang out, filling Rimuru's heart with warmth and comfort.
That damned Nick Fury… daring to use alien black technology to block Aiya. Serves him right to get ripped off later!
It seems I need to find an opportunity to urge Stark to install that supercomputer sooner, so Aiya can upgrade herself earlier.
To be fair, as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury really does have a lot of good stuff on him.
This ti, it was a blessing in disguise — encountering the Kree Empire's black technology on Nick Fury allowed the Great Sage to deduce quite a bit of Kree technological knowledge.
Although the knowledge systems differ, nothing is too difficult for the Great Sage.
"Aiya, report on recent events."
Aiya: "Yes, Master!"
A cute little loli with twin pigtails stepped out of the shadows.
Wearing a uniform, stockings, and high heels, she looked like an energetic little hostess — utterly adorable.
Under Aiya's projection, Rimuru quickly learned about the major events that happened during her ti reading at Kamar-Taj.
Iron Man's defeat at the hands of Abomination, Hulk's victory over Abomination, and the Silver-Armored War God's overwhelming performance, which caused a national sensation.
Countless netizens were speculating about the Silver-Armored War God's identity, combat power, and the kind of advanced technology he used.
anwhile, Iron Man was being blasted by public outrage, denounced across the entire nation.
Many experts and scholars openly claid that Iron Man should hand over his humanoid ch technology to the military.
However, other dia outlets argued that private property must be protected and openly defended Stark.
What Rimuru found amusing was how so dia outlets that scolded Stark yesterday were now fawning over him today.
Truly, the integrity of U.S. dia personalities is astonishing!
[Answer: Those dia outlets that changed their stance have all been acquired by Iron Man.]
Gasp!
"Don't suddenly jump out like that. You're startling, you know."
Great Sage: "Heh."
Rimuru: "…"
According to "history," the next major event should be the Stark Industries Expo from Iron Man 2.
In the original story, Tony had just announced to the world that he was Iron Man. His stock price skyrocketed, and his prestige hit an all-ti peak.
During the Military Committee hearing, Tony made the officials question their very existence.
Justin Hamr was utterly humiliated, becoming a complete clown and a national joke.
But behind this glamorous façade, Tony was actually suffering from severe palladium poisoning, nearing death.
Thus he held an imnsely expensive, completely pointless industry expo — a pure vanity project — which Pepper criticized as utterly useless.
He even foolishly ran to Morocco to participate in a highly dangerous race.
Everyone who knew him felt he had completely lost his mind.
After the "friendship punch" and despair-driven headbutt, Rhodes even took a Mark suit and ran off, and Pepper was left helpless, thinking Tony had gone crazy.
But now — will this expo even happen?
That's a very big question mark!
Unlike the original tiline, Tony's attempts to show off have repeatedly… failed — cough cough — suffered setback after setback.
And prestige?
Does Tony even have anything resembling prestige right now?
Because of the Recovery Potion, Tony is no longer dying.
The Stark Expo — a massive, aningless vanity project — probably won't be happening.
At this mont, Tony is very likely hiding alone in his lab, licking his wounds and enduring hardship.
It seems New York City may soon enter a new era of peace and low cri where people don't pick up dropped money and don't lock their doors at night.
By the way… what kind of person is Tony when he's "enduring hardship"?
Poor Nini. Should I go comfort him?
Nini, what's troubling you?
Tell us… so we can all laugh together?
Snap!
Rimuru snapped her fingers, happily deciding the matter.
Who made Rimuru such a kind and understanding sli?
Soon, when the God of Hamrs descends upon Earth, Rimuru will go observe and learn rune magic from Old Man Odin's hamr.
Runes are great stuff. If she learns them secretly, a Father-level being like Odin shouldn't mind, right?
Runes aren't so closely guarded secret in Asgard. Plenty of mages know them.
But… is Madara's Great Fireball the sa as Sasuke's Great Fireball?
Additionally, Asgardian artifacts all share a fascinating trait — once thrown, they can be summoned back.
Odin's spear, Gungnir — also known as the Eternal Spear — has perfect accuracy, almost like a causality-based weapon.
After striking its target, it automatically flies back into Odin's hand.
Thor's Mjolnir operates the sa way — toss it, summon it, it returns obediently.
Hela's Necrosword is the sa — she can mimic Gilgash's Gate of Babylon and then retrieve it every ti.
If Rimuru were to forge a weapon, she would definitely incorporate that feature.
Don't forget, Rimuru's stomach contains a considerable amount of Demon Steel Ore!
She's very curious about what kind of reaction will occur when Demon Steel Ore from the Jura world encounters Vibranium, Adamantium, or Uru tal.
It's not that Rimuru is cobbling weapons together… There's no helping it — she's a commoner with no illustrious family background!
Unlike Sun Quan, who had a great older brother, or Cao Cao, who had a great adoptive father, Rimuru is like Liu Bei — she has to rely on herself to rise!
Speaking of which, Rimuru has a few complaints she simply must voice.
Thor, the God of Hamrs, is absolutely the biggest prodigal son in all of Marvel!
Just look at his deeds — he's the embodint of "selling off your ancestral holand."
Odin takes one nap, and one of Asgard's most important treasures, the Destroyer Armor, gets smashed to pieces by Thor's hamr.
Soon after, Thor smashes Asgard's strategic treasure, the Bifrost Bridge, into fragnts.
With the Bifrost, Asgardian forces could strike anywhere instantly.
It was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the other realms — who would dare cause trouble?
Thor smashed it without a shred of hesitation.
The only ti he wavered was because doing so ant he couldn't imdiately see his girlfriend Jane Foster.
That angered Odin so much he woke up from Odin's Sleep!
However, for Rimuru, a prodigal son is great news!
Since Thor doesn't want these things, picking up the scraps shouldn't upset Old Man Odin, right?
The Destroyer Armor — since Thor doesn't want it, she'll help recycle it.
You can't just throw things around randomly!
Even if it doesn't hurt people, it's bad for the flowers and plants!
And the Bifrost Bridge — if Rimuru eats it, she might learn how to construct one herself.
That unique thod of transmission, capable of transporting an entire army, greatly interests her.
Thinking about all this, Rimuru couldn't help but wipe the corner of her mouth.
There was only one word to describe how she felt — greedy!
