Rune, also known as Runes by some human wizards, is a special magical script that the God King Odin successfully comprehended after hanging himself on the "Small World Tree" in the Asgardian Hall for nine days and nine nights in ancient times.
(Note: Rune was not created by Odin, but is the root of Norse magic, so Odin only comprehended how to use it.)
There are a total of 24 letters in Rune, and through different arrangements and combinations, they can release magic power of different strengths and effects.
Whether it's the Eternal Spear, Gungnir, which never misses its target, or Mjolnir, Thor's Hammer, which has an automatic navigation and identification system, they all became super divine artifacts that shook the Nine Realms because this powerful magical script was carved onto their surfaces during the forging process.
The dwarf blacksmiths of Nidavellir, on the other hand, inherently knew how to use the power within these scripts to enchant different weapons.
Among them, Ragnar, the Fallen Blacksmith, who was ordered by the Dwarf King to be expelled from Nidavellir for refusing to forge enchanted weapons for Asgard, was even more capable of maximizing the efficacy of magical materials and Runes through his profound understanding of Rune.
Soon, as the last Rune was carved, the "super weapon" that had been continuously emitting pulses suddenly returned to calm.
All the curse power was bound within this crossbow bolt by a powerful magic, poised to strike at any moment.
This power, amplified and blessed by the Runes on the weapon, collectively formed a "forbidden artifact" that was in no way inferior to Thor's Hammer… even if its effect was only valid for Heaven members!
"Phew…"
Looking at the "super weapon" gradually cooling on the anvil, Ragnar's rough face showed a look of intoxication unique to a craftsman.
As a skilled forging master, whenever Ragnar completed a work, an indescribable sense of great satisfaction would arise in his heart.
And when the weapon he created was a "divine artifact (forbidden weapon)" capable of shaking the World, this sense of satisfaction would be elevated to an unattainable height.
This was precisely the case now!
"What you wanted is ready. Come and take a look."
"I have inscribed special Runes on it that can increase its flight speed and conceal its flight trajectory, which can maximize the assurance that the target cannot perceive its existence and dodge it in the first instance… As for whether you can successfully kill that Seraph, it depends on whether you choose the right timing for your strike!"
Ragnar turned to Necrodamus, who was eagerly waiting not far away, and said, then threw the obsidian forging hammer in his hand to the ground and lay obliquely on a scorching red volcanic rock, panting heavily.
Three days and three nights of continuous forging not only consumed a lot of physical strength but also almost drained all the magic from his body.
Now, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep after delivering the goods and Necrodamus and Razan officially left!
"Oh, my God, it's simply too beautiful…"
Necrodamus's expression at this moment was very much like that of a perverted fetishist. Disregarding the residual high temperature on the crossbow bolt, he grabbed the crossbow bolt, which was emitting a silver light, with a fascinated look.
"Next, the entire World's progress will undergo drastic changes due to your appearance… Just one more day, and God and Heaven will tremble at the power you display!!"
"I've already thought about it. I'll call you… Archangel Slayer. After all, all your power comes from Judas's evil soul."
At this moment, Ragnar said from the side, "Hey, my work is done. Shouldn't you settle the remaining balance with me?"
"I warn you, not a single gem or rare metal promised before can be missing, or I'll expose your plan!"
"Don't worry, my old friend, I won't shortchange you a single cent."
A cunning glint flashed in Necrodamus's eyes. He carefully put the custom-made cursed crossbow bolt into his arms, then raised his chin towards Razan, who was standing behind him, and smiled wickedly:
"Hurry up and hand over the goods… Ragnar, I've even prepared a big surprise for you this time!"
Razan, hearing this, picked up a box with one hand and threw it in front of Ragnar expressionlessly, making a dull thud.
"Very good, I like working with trustworthy people."
Ragnar got up, opened the box, and glanced inside. It was filled with the gems and rare metals that Necrodamus had promised him earlier.
He reached in and simply flipped through it, just about to close the lid again, when his arm, suspended in mid-air, suddenly stopped.
Then, as if he had discovered a new continent, he suddenly widened his eyes, and then, with a look of joy, picked up a pebble-sized silver metal from the corner at the bottom of the box.
"Wait a minute, is this perhaps the legendary… Vibranium?!"
Earth is different from Nidavellir and the other Nine Realms. There are no special metals here that naturally possess magic, like Uru.
And most of the metals on Earth, no matter how rare or expensive, would hardly attract the special attention of an "old hand" like Ragnar, who makes a living by blacksmithing.
Looking at the entire Earth, there are only two metals that truly interest him.
The first, naturally, is Adamantium, known as the "hardest metal on Earth" (the one used to forge Wolverine's bones).
Unfortunately, the only true liquid Adamantium that existed on Earth was destroyed along with Wolverine's destruction of William Stryker's Weapon X Renovation Base.
And this metal also has an extremely special property: once it transforms from liquid to solid, its shape can no longer be altered a second time.
Even if it is heated at 500,000 degrees Celsius afterward, there will not be the slightest sign of melting.
So now, there is no true Adamantium on Earth anymore!
In the past years, many forces, including the Military, have tried to replicate true Adamantium through secret "synthesis formulas."
But in the end, without exception, they all failed…
In desperation, some organizations could only settle for second best, choosing to sacrifice some strength to produce "Sub-Adamantium," which is simpler to manufacture and relatively cheaper.
(Note: The X-23 Little Wolf Girl and X-24 Wolverine clones forged by Yuckley Genetics both use this Sub-Adamantium.)
And although these Sub-Adamantium also possess super strength far exceeding most metals, they are not indestructible!
When encountering powerful external attacks or weapons of a higher strength level, they will fracture.
And the second-ranked is the Vibranium that Ragnar is holding in his hand right now!
Although Vibranium is second only to true Adamantium in hardness, its constituent molecules are almost relatively static, which gives this rare metal the extraordinary ability to absorb any kinetic energy.
Therefore, some people also call it "Sound-Absorbing Steel"!
Captain America's round shield and Black Panther's nano-suit all use this metal material.
However, due to Wakanda's extremely strict control over Vibranium, very little Vibranium successfully flows into the outside World.
And Necrodamus spent over a million U.S. dollars on the black market to get this pebble-sized Vibranium.
"Very good, Necrodamus, I like this surprise very much, and I look forward to our next cooperation… I'll give you a 20% discount then!"
Ragnar held the Vibranium in his palm, fondling it back and forth, completely unaware that behind him, Razan was silently approaching him with her long axe.
"Oh, my dear friend, you are mistaken… That Vibranium is not actually the surprise I prepared for you."
Necrodamus's face revealed a sinister smile, and he then pointed to Razan behind Ragnar, who had already raised her battle axe high, and said:
"She is!!"
Pfft—
As the words sounded, the battle axe in Razan's hand accurately struck Ragnar's back.
The axe blade, imbued with divine power, instantly tore through Ragnar's enchanted hard armor, and then split open his equally hard, thick spine, directly bisecting his heart!
Blood immediately spurted from the wound, but then instantly vaporized into a bloody mist upon contact with the hot air.
"Why…"
Ragnar seemed to have been instantly drained of all his strength. His mountain-like figure crashed heavily to the ground. Although he now really wanted to curse every female in Necrodamus's family, the continuous loss of life force in his body made his vocal cords increasingly heavy, as if filled with lead.
In just two or three seconds, he couldn't even utter the slightest sound.
He could only stare unwillingly, with wide eyes, at the unscrupulous scoundrel opposite him.
"Why?"
Necrodamus bent down and picked up the Vibranium that had rolled to the ground, blew off the dust, and then put it back into his pocket.
This little trinket was worth millions of U.S. dollars!
Then Necrodamus turned to the dying dwarf blacksmith opposite him, shrugging his shoulders with an innocent look.
"I didn't expect you to ask such a foolish question before you died… Don't look at me like that, of course, it's because you know too much!!"
"After all, assassinating a Seraph… and one of the highest-ranking Angels, this will attract the pursuit of Heaven Faction. I don't want them to get any information about me from you afterward."
"So, to avoid having to hide like a rat in a gutter every day in the future, I must eliminate everyone who could potentially expose me."
Seeing Razan suddenly cast a strange look at him, Necrodamus quickly waved his hand.
"Don't worry, Razan, you are different from these people… We are not only master and servant but also partners, so Heaven Faction will definitely not let you off either!!"
No matter how you listen, Necrodamus's last words didn't sound like comfort to Razan, but rather more like a threat and warning to the other party.
"Alright, now you can throw our friend… Oh no, he seems to have become a corpse now, so just throw his corpse into the lava pool."
"No matter how fireproof a dwarf's skin is, it cannot withstand continuous high-temperature burning, especially after they are dead!"
However.
Just as Razan expressionlessly prepared to kick Ragnar's corpse into the nearby lava pool, a magnetic male voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them.
"Tsk tsk tsk, destroying the body to erase traces? That's a really dirty trick."
"And that demigoddess, I advise you not to do that, because that dwarf blacksmith is still useful to me."
Unbeknownst to them, Karl and Wanda had quietly emerged from a portal.
And on Karl's body, in addition to his own Energy Cloak, there was a layer of special Chaos Magic, obviously specially applied by Wanda, his little sister, for fear that he would be burned by the high temperature.
Just ask yourself, isn't such a girlfriend thoughtful?
"Damn it, it's that Arcane Master from Kamar-Taj!"
Upon seeing this, Razan's face immediately showed a look of fear. How could she have thought that the other party would find this place so quickly?
Sure enough, Edward, that bastard, lied to her!
Although Razan had previously tried to use Karl and others, this external force, to force Necrodamus to end the contract he signed with her early, she did not want them to appear so early.
In her opinion, tomorrow night, when the Truce Agreement began, was the best time for Karl and others to enter the game.
By then, even if Karl and others couldn't find the location of the Truce Agreement, Razan would actively reveal key clues to them in secret.
This way, she could not only reasonably disrupt Necrodamus's assassination mission, thereby completely avoiding being chased by Heaven Faction along with that idiot Necrodamus afterward.
At the same time, she could also take the opportunity to force Necrodamus to fulfill his promise and completely end his control over her!
A perfect win-win situation.
But who would have thought that Karl and Wanda would appear a day early?
Based on Razan's understanding of Necrodamus, this shameless Black Wizard would definitely make her pay any price to kill these two people in front of her, and then he himself would slip away first!
Yes, this shameless scoundrel would definitely do that.
But who would have thought that this time, Razan only guessed half right.
Necrodamus suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Wait a minute, could that magic be the legendary… Chaos Magic?!"
