He hadn't expected there to be an Asgardian hidden on Earth, nor had he expected him to be such an excellent blacksmith, or rather, a high-level weapon manufacturing master.
Although he hadn't seen the power of the Berserker Staff, he knew the power of the Fear Twin Blades. How could he let go of a talent capable of forging such weapons?
"Why?" Su Zhan asked with interest.
Nick Fury immediately introduced, "He's very dangerous, and he just destroyed this city, so both logically and emotionally, I must take him back to S.H.I.E.L.D...."
"You didn't understand my question. I'm not asking why you want to capture him, but why you think I would agree to you? Don't tell me you don't know Thor just left; he couldn't take anyone away from in front of me, so you think... you can?" Su Zhan wasn't being provocative or arrogant; he was just stating a fact.
"But..." Nick Fury frowned, about to speak again, but Su Zhan interrupted him. "Don't worry about it. Unless he's willing, I won't let anyone take him away from in front of me. Besides, the reason you want to take him away is probably not for the reasons you stated, but because you've taken a fancy to his craftsmanship, right? So, don't speak so righteously!"
Nick Fury was left speechless.
To be fair, this disaster is partly your fault. If you hadn't suddenly gone looking for him, he wouldn't have rashly picked up the Fear Twin Blades, nor would he have been controlled by Fear. Of course, since this city was destroyed because of the Fear Twin Blades, the bill for its reconstruction can be sent to me later.
Although the cost would certainly not be small, and even if Su Zhan didn't pay, it wouldn't matter, he was very satisfied with the Fear Twin Blades now, so he paid the bill happily.
"Great, it's finally over. Su Zhan, come help him!"
At this moment, Steve Rogers suddenly shouted excitedly towards them.
Su Zhan didn't go over immediately, but looked at Nick Fury. Helpless, Nick Fury could only nod and say, "Alright, I'll send you the bill then."
Su Zhan smiled and then walked over.
Elliot Randolph quickly followed Su Zhan. He now understood that no one could protect him except Su Zhan.
Seeing Nick Fury look at her, Natasha smiled, shrugged, and followed, saying, "Don't look at me. I can't do anything either. After all... he has so many women, and I'm just one of them!"
Donny was lucky; fortunately, he was wearing his Iron Man Suit, so he only looked a bit disheveled and wasn't in danger. Su Zhan touched his back with the silver blade, absorbing the Fear energy, and said, "It's over now, so I should be free, right? Then I'm leaving. Steve, do you remember what I said before? If you ever need help, remember to come find me!"
Su Zhan said to Steve, then energy enveloped him and Elliot Randolph, and they quickly floated up and disappeared.
As for the aftermath, S.H.I.E.L.D. would naturally handle it.
"What are your plans?"
Flying slowly in the air, Su Zhan asked a curious Elliot Randolph.
Elliot Randolph was silent for a moment and said, "Can I stay with you temporarily?"
"Are you sure? Following me isn't a good choice, as it might not be so peaceful around me. Moreover, haven't you always enjoyed life? Once you follow me, you might not find it so easy to enjoy life anymore," Su Zhan asked.
Elliot Randolph gave a helpless wry smile: "Following you, I might just be saying goodbye to my former leisurely life, but if I don't follow you, I'm afraid my entire life will be completely gone, so... I'll still follow you."
"Alright, but you don't have to stay by my side. I'll send you to a place where you can stay temporarily. You can rest assured, no one can forcibly take you without my permission!"
It was certainly good that Elliot Randolph was willing to follow him. Being a logistics provider would be beneficial, making it convenient for future equipment forging. However, Su Zhan didn't want him to always follow him, so he planned to first send him to the spaceship to settle down.
Chapter 0109 The Blacksmith and Blizzard
"Boss? Didn't you say you'd be with S.H.I.E.L.D.? Why are you back? Who is this?" Seeing Su Zhan return with a shirtless, somewhat disheveled middle-aged man, Blink and the others were surprised.
"His name is Elliot Randolph. You can simply call him Blacksmith. He's an Asgardian, very skilled at forging weapons. If you ever need anything in the future, you can ask him for help. He's one of us now. As for the reason, you can find out yourselves later. Oh, and these are the battle suits I had Fitz make for you. They can be considered the standard battle suits for our War Alliance. Pick the ones that fit you." Su Zhan briefly introduced Elliot Randolph, then took out the battle suits made by Fitz.
These items instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"I won't go into detail about the functions; you can test them yourselves later. Blink, where's Donny? Take me to see him first."
Since he was back, he might as well see if Donny had handled the problem.
Blink handed the battle suits to Bone Marrow, asked Chen Haoran to take Elliot Randolph to settle down and find some clothes, and then took Su Zhan to see Donny.
It was clear that Blink was becoming more and more like a Captain.
Donny was placed in a special room. This room was originally designed to hold enemies on the spaceship. Made of special materials, the room also had a kind of suppressing magnetic field, making it impossible to get out from the inside.
When Su Zhan entered, Donny was sitting to the side, looking somewhat dispirited. Hearing the sound, Donny looked up and seemed a bit excited when he saw Su Zhan.
"Why did you bring me here? When can I get out?"
Su Zhan smiled, motioned for him to calm down first, and then slowly said, "I believe you already know about your changes. Regardless of the reason, you now have an Ability, and I am very optimistic about your Ability, which is why I went to such great lengths to bring you here. Now, you have two choices. One: follow me, join the War Alliance, and contribute your strength for yourself and for this World. Two: I will take away your Ability, let you return to being an ordinary person, and then send you back to S.H.I.E.L.D. to continue being supervised by S.H.I.E.L.D. You can choose!"
"War Alliance? Aren't you with S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Donny asked, puzzled.
"I'm a consultant for S.H.I.E.L.D., and only for the small team you met. The War Alliance is my organization. Everyone you saw before is my person," Su Zhan explained.
He was a bit short on manpower, and Donny's Ability was good, so Su Zhan planned to recruit him into the War Alliance. But if Donny wasn't willing, Su Zhan wouldn't force him; he would just devour his Ability and send him back to S.H.I.E.L.D.
Anyway, it wouldn't be a wasted effort.
"If I join, will you no longer restrict me? Can I... can I still leave?" Donny asked tentatively.
"Of course you can leave. I promise I won't kill you!" Su Zhan smiled, confidently saying, "However, I believe that once you understand the War Alliance and this World, you won't want to leave."
"Then... then I'll join!"
Donny hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to join.
He was a smart person. Su Zhan said he wouldn't kill him if he left, but it clearly didn't exclude taking away his Ability. So, even if he left, at worst he'd go back to being an ordinary person, which was much better than being locked up here.
"Then let's go out together. I just had Fitz make some battle suits, so you can pick one too. Oh, and from now on, your codename will be Blizzard, okay? If you find anything unsuitable about this battle suit, you can modify it, after all... that's not difficult for you." Su Zhan said with a smile.
Since he was back, Su Zhan didn't leave immediately. While the others were studying the battle suits, Su Zhan went to the Blacksmith and asked about the Fear Twin Blades.
"The silver blade absorbs, and the black blade releases, right? Does strength only increase when both blades are held simultaneously? I didn't feel anything special when I held the black blade before," Su Zhan recalled and asked.
The Blacksmith nodded and said, "Yes, but with a small difference. During the crafting process, I found that they actually have room for improvement. As long as the right materials can be found, they can be enhanced. To prevent this effect from disappearing, I had to make some changes. Only when both blades are used simultaneously will the Berserker effect, which is enhanced strength, be triggered. However, the silver blade can absorb Fear energy and transfer it to the black blade, and the black blade has the effect of storing Fear energy. So, if it's not a very intense battle, the black blade alone should be enough!"
"Is that so..." Su Zhan frowned slightly. He still felt that using both blades simultaneously was more convenient. Not only for the Berserker effect, but also in combat, he preferred to use both blades.
"Actually, as long as you don't try to control it to absorb Fear energy, it won't absorb it. Because you won't be affected mentally, you can control it! If it were someone else, like me, I wouldn't be able to control it at all. It would be dominating me, using me, not me using it!"
"That's good!"
Su Zhan was relieved. If it automatically absorbed Fear energy every time he used it, that would be too troublesome and would definitely affect others. Being able to control it as he wished would be perfect, and he might even be able to use it as a trump card someday.
After clarifying some of the effects and usage methods of the Fear Twin Blades, Su Zhan then left. As he left, he didn't forget to glance at the situation on the island; work had already begun, and the efficiency seemed quite good.
After leaving the spaceship, Su Zhan didn't go directly back to Skye. He landed after flying to the coastal city. Since he was out, he planned to buy some things before returning.
Although there was plenty of good food on the spaceship, Su Zhan was really getting tired of it. It had been a long time since he had eaten Chinese food. Su Zhan planned to pack some Chinese food to take back, to satisfy Skye and the others' cravings and give them some meat. After all, they couldn't be as casual as he was; although their freedom wasn't restricted, it was quite troublesome to go back and forth for a trip out.
Walking on the street, Su Zhan didn't know where there was a Chinese restaurant nearby. Just as he was about to take out his phone to search online, he heard exclamations from nearby.
The sound was like fans seeing a celebrity.
Su Zhan instinctively glanced in the direction of the sound and saw a crowd of people gathered there, with some taking photos with their phones. Although there were many people, Su Zhan clearly saw who was causing the commotion.
