Welcome007: Thanks a lot. And he probably will be stronger than Carol, although stronger and better are two different things. He'll still have to get used to the power first.
Remzal Von Enily: I was actually going to have Harry try that, but the grenade is seriously overpowered. It would have been, too easy.
LinMing2019: That was exactly why I had him date her. I like Darcy, the character and the actress too. She's always been ignored in favour of Black Widow or Wanda. I love Wanda, there's no question there. Bit I wanted Harry to date Darcy. Don't know if this will stick, she might die, she might break it up because Harry tries to get too serious or something. Anything can happen.
TehStrom: That was my plan. This will be the last enhancement. Although Harry won't be using the Reality stone as a primary weapon.
StarBlazer240: That Hela is evil and Harry Potter is the Goody two shoes. He won't fall for Hela, ever. If it was when Hela was young, and just starting to learn how to fight? That would have been amazing.
Sanas22: I read it in the MCU wiki that Odin has the Orb of Agamotto stored in his vault. I checked, and we can see 2 orbs there, one of which could be The Orb. It has not been shown in Doctor Strange movie.
There will be a few chapters if interlude in the middle. I have been neglecting Harry's private life, his business, and literally everything other than superhero business.
Chapter 25:
December 29th, 2013:
As soon as I reach home, I try and use the reality stone. I use the sceptre and command it to change my body, only a little bit, to better handle the power of infinity stones. No idea if it works, but I did see the orb flash a bit red, so it probably did. I store the 2 Infinity Stones in my lab, separately. And go to sleep. It was already late enough as it is.
The next morning, I enter the lab and gather the Light speed engine as well as the Harnessing units. I put them both in my pocket space along with the reality stone. I keep the Tesseract outside.
"Siri. Keep a subroutine active on the Jet, at all times. Divert 30% power to it. The rest should be enough to protect the lab." I order Siri.
"Yes, sir. Though I must warn you. You are about to do something stupid and dangerous. Are you sure you want to do it?" Siri asks, following her self inducted protocols. She was learning, but she was learning to be a nagging little sister.
I shake my head and answer, "Do I want to? No. But I need to. This will make sure I'm ready for anything Siri."
Morag should still be underwater, so it's highly probable that no one will attempt to steal the Power Stone, yet. I can get it, and then return it back in a month's time.
"Yes boss." Siri says.
I shake my head, gather everything I'll need, and get on the Jet. It was already ready for a flight, so I simply turn it on and remove the Tesseract out if its case.
"I really hope you don't send me to Vormir." I whisper and close my eyes. I think really hard about the planet Morag and sort of will the cube to make a portal to the atmosphere of the planet, all the while whispering Morag. Hearing a whoosh sound, I open my eyes and look ahead. There was a bluish black portal in the air, right in front of the Jet.
"Holy fucking shit. It fucking worked!" I exclaim.
"Yes, it worked! Now cross that thing before it closes!" Venom shouts at me.
I don't answer and simply fly the Jet into the portal. I come out to the other side and see that I was a few miles above the ocean.
"Siri, start scanning the area for high energy readings similar to the Cube or the Aether." I order and slowly start going in a random direction. Siri starts scanning the oceanic planet. The whole planet was drowned by some disaster which I didn't know about. I only know that the water level decreases only once every few hundred years or something.
It takes 3 hours of just floating around, but Siri finally finds it.
"Sir! Found it! It's 3 klicks north of here and about 1 klick below." Siri exclaims.
I jump up and order, "Take us there, Siri."
Siri starts piloting the plane towards the temple, over the water, and I start checking on all that I'll need for this. There was the harnessing tool that I was going to use to harness Power Stone's energy. 4 orbs with a diameter of 6 inches, made of Vibranium which were going to store that energy. They were based on the power source Dr Lawson had designed, and made using the methods Wakanda used in their devices. And a Vibranium - Praedium gauntlet which will let me get the Orb out of the force field. I was going to fill two orbs of Power Stone energy, and 2 of Space Stone energy. I had plans.
Soon we reach over the spot where the temple is. I jump out of the jet after being covered by Venom. Thankfully he could easily breathe underwater, or I'd have had to bring an Oxygen tank.
It takes me and Venom 15 minutes of swimming to reach the temple, it was really deep underwater. As soon as I enter through the door of the temple, I get assaulted by the power of the stone. Any inexperienced person would have just ignored it. But I had already been in the presence of 2 stones. I knew that I would not be able to handle it, as I am.
I bring out the gauntlet, directly covering my hand and slowly test the field surrounding the orb containing the Power Stone. It stops my hand for a second, but then it starts bending, letting my hand pass through.
It hurt, both me and Venom, a lot. But we simply grit our teeth and swallow the pain. It takes us 5 Minutes to simply get to the orb and hold it in my hand, and 5 more minutes to bring it back. As soon as the orb was out of the field, it shut down and turned back into a normal pillar.
"That.. was.. not.. so bad.. huh, Venom?" I ask, while breathing hard.
"Fuck you. That shit hurt more than that time we absorbed the Aether." Venom breathes out.
Well. Probably not, seeing as that was a fucking Infinity Stone. But anyways.
"Fuck it. Let's set it up and leave." I say and start setting everything up. I was going to leave the stone as well as the equipment here itself. I already had the signal scramblers ready to prevent anyone from detecting it.
I bring out the harnessing tool as well as a Vibranium orb from inside the pocket space. I set them both down, webbing the equipment up with a permanent web, to prevent it from going somewhere due to the water flow.
"Now, to open the orb. Venom, would you like the honour?" I ask.
Venom grumbles in annoyance and says, "Like you could do it if I said no." Good point. Asshole.
Venom loosens a strand of himself and fuses it to the Orb. Within a minute, he unlocks the Orb from the inside. Huh. That was quick.
I use the Praedium gauntlet still in my hand, to pick the stone from its containment and just as quickly drop it in the harnessing tool. The harnessing tool quickly starts Absorbing the power from the power stone and transferring it to the Vibranium Power Orb. Perfect.
"That's done. Let's go." I say after making sure that the equipment was working fine. The Orb will fill in about 15 days each, which was enough time for me to do the same with the Tesseract. But I'll have to check up on the equipment again and again. I'll also need to be back to change the orbs as I needed two such orbs filled with the energy.
I was going to stay on the Jet for the month anyway. The Tesseract was going to be too busy to be used as transportation.
Swimming above, and returning to the Jet, I set up the harnessing tool for the Tesseract and just go to sleep. This was really exhausting.
January 25th, 2014:
16 days. That's how long it took for the Tesseract to fully charge one of the Space Orbs, as I'd smartly named them. The Two Power orbs were filled within 26 days, being the Power stone it had a higher power output. Once I saw that it was taking so long to fill the Space orbs, I decided not to fill the second one yet and wait till I get home. When the one Space orb was filled, I store it inside the pocket space.
I used the remaining days that the Tesseract was free to visit Earth for a few times, to meet with Peter, Bernard and Darcy. They all shouted at me for disappearing for so long, but they already knew I was going to be out of touch for about a month so they calmed down after a while.
I had to kiss Darcy senseless to shut her up, but we both enjoyed that part.
On the 20th day, I did get some visitors on the planet. My jet was invisible and using the best signal scramblers that I'd developed, so they didn't notice me, thankfully. They took a trip around the planet and flew away. They were probably here to see if the planet was dried up yet or not.
Thankfully I'd already seen this possibility and amplified my Invisibility by the Reality stone. Seriously over powered and under appreciated stone. I loved it. I used the stone daily to make myself more compatible to the infinity stones. The process was slow, but within a couple years, I could probably touch the Power Stone directly and not even flinch.
Once the Power Orbs were full, I used the Praedium gauntlet again and first stored the Power Stone back in its orb and had Venom close it. Next I kept the Orb back in its place over the metallic pillar. As soon as the Orb was back on the pillar, the containment field started back up. So it was using thr power of the Power Stone itself for this field?
I store everything back into my pocket space, keeping the Power orbs inside Praedium cases, check for any signs of my being there, and finding none, I get back on the jet.
Finally this shit was over. Or at least, step one was. I immediately use the Tesseract and return the jet to my basement.
"Siri, I'm home! Sync up and see everything we did over this past month." I say as soon as I enter the lab.
"Yes sir. Mr Stark called yesterday. He left a message, shall I play it?" Siri asks.
I blink. What could Tony want? I shrug and say, "Sure. Let's see what he wants."
"Hey, Web-brain number two. Spidey is here with us and we've been wondering, where the hell are you? Even Jarvis couldn't find you. Anyways. We'll soon be starting the attacks on Hydra bases. We have given them enough time. For now, you are not much needed, but once we need to take on the final base, we'll need every spider we can get. So get back to us."
Huh. They're starting already? But I can't do anything yet. I still don't have enough time.
"You know what, Siri. Don't tell anyone that I'm back. Not even Bernard or Darcy. I'll explain to them later. I want to sleep and rest, for the next... 7 hours. And then I'm back in space." I say. I really missed fresh food. I only had canned food and ramen there, which while tasty, is not exactly nutritious.
Siri sighs and says, "Yes sir."
I nod and go to sleep. Oh my sweet bed. I missed you!
"Wierdo." Venom whispers.
"Shuddup!" I snap, half-heartedly. I didn't even care anymore. I just sleep.
January 26th, 2014:
The next day, I wake up, as usual at 5, work out a little, pack a bit of food, enough for a few days and keep it in the pocket space. I already had the 3 orbs in the pocket space. So I add about 20 canisters of Vibranium and take out the Tesseract. This one deal will be difficult to make. I don't even know if they'll even talk to me.
I use the Tesseract and say in a clear and commanding voice, "Nidavellir!"
A portal opens in front of me. Taking a deep breath, I walk through it.
"I come in pea... What the fuck?" I say as soon as I see that the whole place was empty. Venom could only feel one life form, and it was like really faint. I quickly start running towards the life form. On the way, I see a few Giant Dwarves of Nidavellir lying dead on the ground. Damn! The body hasn't even started decomposition yet. What the fuck is Asgard doing? Their allies get attacked and they don't respond?
Ah.. Loki fired Heimdall or something right? Fuck. I should have seen this coming and warned them or something.
I start running faster, hoping that the last Dwarf is alright. If each and every one of such a great race like the Dwarves, dies out.. Fucking Thanos.
Within a few minutes, I reach the spot where the last Dwarf was lying, out cold. His hands were fused to some metal, leaving him helpless. He can't even do his only job anymore, that's worse than death.
I slap the guy a few times. When that doesn't work, I slap him a bit harder. He wakes up and seeing me, slaps me aside like a bug. Fuck! I really should have seen it coming.
"Stop! Stop! I'm not here to fight!" I shout at him.
The guy stops and growls at me, "That's what Thanos said, right before he murdered everyone." He punches with his metallic fist, which I dodge and kick on the back of his knee, dropping him on his knees.
I step back a few steps and say, "I was here to make a deal with you. I just found you like this and decided to wake you up. Trust me, I needed the Dwarves' help to kill Thanos. Why would I attack you?" All the while, I'm dodging his punches, not letting them hit me.
He stops trying to punch me and looks at me doubtfully. So I say, "I am from Midgard. I am friends with fucking Thor of Asgard. And we all are at the top of Thanos' hit list. Why the hell would I help him?"
The guy stops on his spot and simply sits down, feeling defeated. He says, "He killed everyone. My sons, my father. My wife. Even the rest of the Dwarves whom I ruled over. He didn't leave anyone alive." He starts crying. Wailing loudly.
I go towards him to comfort him, but not knowing how, I simply pat him on his back and let him cry.
He continues, still crying, "He even made my hands useless. What use am I to anyone if I can't even forge anything? What use is Nidavellir?"
I let him cry and once he's dried his tears I ask, "What is your name?"
The Dwarf sniffs and says, "King Eitri of Nidavellir. Although, right now its only Eitri. I'm no King and there's no Nidavellir anymore." His voice was now dry, completely emotionless. Like he'd completely given up on everything.
I softly say, "Well, King Eitri, I have a good news for you. I could probably fix your hands and bring you to a safe place. Don't know if the first thing will work, but the second will definitely work."
Eitri looks at me sharply and asks, "How?"
I cover myself in Venom. He simply asks, "Klyntar?"
I sigh and mumble, "Why does everyone know what Venom is but me? Yes, he is a Klyntar. Our name is Venom. Venom has a power that lets him absorb metal into himself. He'll have to cover your body for it though. So, will you let him see if it works?"
Eitri looks at me questioningly, so I show him a few examples of metal absorbing and manipulation of it. He nods and says, "Agreed. But I want to hear what you want first. You said you came here to make a deal."
I nod and sigh a little. Sitting down on the ground I look at him, a little sadly and say, "I have been preparing for Thanos for the past 10 years. I have gotten stronger than an average Midgardian, a lot stronger. I could right now challenge Thor to a fight and win, hands down. But It's still not enough to defeat Thanos. I need a weapon I could use, which will be enough to at least weaken Thanos, for someone else to kill him."
I pause and continue, "I have some of the strongest metals I've found over the years. But even if I have a strong metal, my forging capabilities are abysmal. I came here to offer some of that metal to Nidavellir, in exchange for a weapon. Preferably a staff or an axe. But seeing as how Nidavellir is... I don't think my plan will work."
Damn it. I should have been here earlier. But how earlier. Thanos has probably left this planet only about 5 days ago, judging by the bodies. And what help would I have been if I'd been here? I could have just died along with the rest. Giving Thanos 2 infinity stones in the process.
Eitri looks at me for a few minutes, which I use to think up an alternative plane. The Captain Marvel project could still work. It'll be enough to take Thanos' hits and not get hurt.
"I'll do it. I'll make the weapon. If you swear that you will try your hardest to kill Thanos. And fix up my hands." Eitri's voice brings me out of my musing.
"Huh? But.. how? Won't you need more people for that?" I ask. I didn't know how Thor made his Stormbreaker, but it certainly took Thor being burned for it to work.
Eitri thinks and says, "I can do it alone. I'm the King of Dwarves. First show me what metals you have. And fix my hands."
I nod dumbly and say, "Venom. Do it please."
Venom first brings out the Berserker's staff, then about 2 canisters of Vibranium, and then he goes and covers Eitri.
"Don't fight it. He'll absorb the metal, heal your hands, and get off your body." I say, when I see Eitri about to fight it.
Eitri nods and calms down. Venom fully covers Eitri and starts his work. I can't see anything other than Venom just sitting there, as it's all happening inside the suit. About 10 Minutes later, Venom starts separating from Eitri and joins me again.
I look at Eitri, who was now examining his healed hands. He flexes his fingers for a few minutes, which I let him have. It would have hurt having to lose one's arms.
"He said, 'Your life is yours, but your hands, they're mine,' Hahaha" Eitri whispers at first, and then starts laughing. But I can tell, he's still down. The loss of his whole race must have hurt a lot.
He then looks at me, at the metals I'd brought out, and says, "So these are the precious metals you found. Where in the 9 realms did you find the Berserker's staff?"
I answer honestly, "It was on Midgard. One of the Berserkers had fled the Asgardian army and retreated to Midgard. He separated the staff into 3 pieces and hid them in different places. I found them and fused them together. Did it on a Lunar eclipse too, to make it hurt less. It worked. I can no longer be seduced by the Staff's rage."
Eitri looks at me speculatively, thinking, and says, "You are something else, aren't you. Bring out the Uru you have too."
I bring out the Uru that Venom absorbed in the form of a brick, because it was the easiest and give it to him.
I say, "I wanted to use the Staff and some of this metal, Vibranium in making the weapon. This Vibranium is the strongest metal found on Midgard. No matter how strong you are, a blunt weapon will never harm it. It absorbs all the force acting on it." Boasting a little. This is Midgardian metal. Even Mjolnir could not harm it, so yes I'm proud.
"That's a little overconfident, boy." Eitri looks sceptical.
So I say, "Thor used his hammer, Mjolnir to hit a Shield made from this metal. It threw Thor back a few feet." And look at him meaningfully. He knows I'm not lying.
Eitri nods and says, "Good. I'll do it. I'll make the weapon using all three metals."
I blink and look around, what third metal is he talking abo... "Uru too?" I ask, a little excited and afraid.
Eitri nods and says, "Yes. Only this brick right here. That's only because your Klyntar has already touched it. It agrees with you. If any other Uru was used, it would not be much compatible with you."
He stands up and starts going towards a direction, taking the Vibranium with him. I pick the staff up and follow him.
I say, "That was not the Vibranium I wanted to use actually. It is just a pure sample."
He looks at me and stops. He gives me the Vibranium canister and says, "Show me what you wanted to use then."
I swallow, as I didn't know how he'll react to this. I put the canisters back in the pocket space, and slowly bring the Space orb as well as one of the Power orbs out, to show them to him. He takes a step back in fear and asks, "What is that? This.. power.. it's too much! How are you even touching it?"
I say, "This one," showing him the Space orb, which was glowing a little blue, "is filled to the brim with the Space Stone's energy." I then show him the Power Orb, which was glowing purple, and say, "And this one is filled with the Power Stone's energy. I knew I would not be able to handle the Power Stone myself, so I took a little bit of it's energy instead."
Eitri looks a little scared and tries to touch the Power Orb. He manages to touch it, but the touch burns him a little. Huh. So at least the reality stone has been doing its work on building my body up.
He takes a deep breath and says, "This weapon will be strong. Far stronger than Mjolnir." He then gets an excited smile on his face and says, "Come quickly then. We can't dawdle. Choose which weapon you want quickly."
I blink at his excitement and shrug it off. He's a weapons smith. Making the most powerful weapons must be a dream come true. I reabsorb the Orbs and start following him, meanwhile thinking, 'What weapon? Staff? Axe? Sword? No, probably not a sword. Axe it is then. Not like Stormbreaker though, double bladed. I already have used a similar weapon, so I won't have to change my fighting style much.'
"I want an axe. Like this," I say and bring out an axe which I had in mind, made of Praedium. He looks at the make for a while and then nods. It was a double bladed axe, blades about as big as Stormbreaker's blade, and the full Berserker's staff was used as the handle. I could have just made this axe inside myself and used it, but it wouldn't have been as powerful. It would have been just a lump of metal that was energy absorbent. Also, now that Uru was in the equation, I couldn't possibly make it without Eitri's help.
He says, "I have something similar in my molds. But only the blades. We'll use Uru and this Vibranium of yours to make the blade. The handle will be made out of the Staff itself."
I happily nod and follow him. He leads me to a furnace setup, which had pipes leading to a circular disk. A few ways away from us was the Neutron star and the Dyson sphere it was surrounded by. The star was closed up, surrounded by frozen metal plates, and the Dyson sphere was currently only a set of rings.
"Nidavellir's forge harnesses the power of a blazing neutron star. When Thanos and his people left, they turned the rings off. You'll have to spin the rings first to get the star activated again. You do that, and I'll prepare the metals as well as the cast. Give me more of this pure Vibranium. 4 of those canisters will suffice." Eitri explains, and then orders.
I drop the 2 Infinity Orbs into the crucible, along with 4 Canisters full of Vibranium. Eitri adds the brick of Uru into it and goes away to prepare the Cast. I bring out the Berserker's Staff and keep it on the ground for him to use as a handle.
"Venom," I call out, "The suit please. And separate yourself from me. It will hurt like a bitch, and it will be hot enough to burn even me. I'd like it if you don't die yet buddy."
Venom brings out the Vibranium mesh suit on me and says, "I don't even want to die for a bitch ass like you." And separates himself from me. I know he loves me. I'll have to increase his chocolate input now.
Venom gets off my body and stays separate from us all. This would be hard. I kind of remember that the mechanism was supposed to break, but don't know if it will break this early. It's only been a few days since it's closed up.
I jump into space, into the cold air, thankful that there was oxygen here, and slowly land on top of one of the rings. I'll have to spin at least one ring to make the others spin too.
"You ready?" I shout towards Eitri, who simply waves his hands at me to 'Get on with it.'
"Here it goes." I whisper to myself. This will hurt.
I web the innermost ring with the strongest web, and jump off of it towards the Neutron star. I land on the Iris and web the platform with the same web. This will be my support, so I web it a few more times in different places and connect those webs to my back. I jump off the platform and into space.
I was currently hovering in space, with not much as support other than the Iris, so I pull on my right hand. Which was stuck to the ring. The ring slowly shifts, but doesn't move much.
"Be ready!" I shout towards the two. And pull with both hands, this time using all my strength. Extremis starts burning inside me with it's efforts on healing me again and again as I break my body. I keep pulling on the ring, which was barely moving. So I use my web shooter to catch a few more spots on the ring and then pull them all together.
The ring starts moving, removing the icing on it. It moves a little faster so I web a few spots behind the first spot and pull. The ring slowly moves and starts spinning. I keep pulling, now laughing in excitement. The rings all start spinning and catches momentum, so I leave the Iris and start using my web to go towards where Venom and Eitri are. Just in time, because as soon as I land on the ground, the Iris opens up completely, letting light and heat from the Neutron star through.
We wait. 1...2...3...4...5... Stable!
"YEAH!!!" Both me and Eitri shout out in excitement. The Iris stays open and starts shooting a beam of concentrated heat and radiation through the rings and into the circular disk that I'd seen before. The heat travels through the pipes and lights up the fire under the crucible.
The fire was so hot that Venom refused to come near it. I still went, being used to it because of the Extremis and look into the crucible along with Eitri.
"The rings are stable, Iris is open and fire is burning bright." Eitri speaks to himself. "The metals are melting. Vibranium has a lower melting point than Uru. Will have to keep in mind if I use it again."
I see that the pure Vibranium was completely melted, Uru was on its way and the Infinity Orbs were slowly melting too.
It takes 10 whole Minutes for the 2 orbs to melt completely and fuse to the rest of the melted metal. Eitri uses some sort of stirring rod, probably made out of Uru, and mixes the metals properly. The purple and blue of the Power and Space stone energies were mixing too. Making it seem to be a lighter shade of violet.
"The Staff! Quickly!" Eitri orders.
I immediately pick up the staff from where I'd left it and give it to Eitri. He takes it from me, blinking his eyes for a second to get used to it, dips it into the melted alloy twice. He shakes it to get the extra alloy off and inserts the staff into the Cast, preparing the handle for the Pole axe, from one side to the other. The blades will be made around the Staff, probably. He then added another addition to the set-up, a cast for a small pointed spear at the top of the staff. I shrug it as something he thinks I'll need. He's the professional here.
When everything is melted and properly mixed, Eitri pushes me aside and spins a gear, which slowly tilts the Crucible to a side. He was still in work mode and mumbling to himself. He drops the melted alloy into the cast until it is full.
I smile and join with Venom again. The axe was almost done with. Eitri then picks the Cast with prongs and goes away, shouting, "Wait here!"
I obediently wait for him to come. Knowing that it will be a private thing for him. Secret techniques and all. The iris starts to close, not being in use anymore, and no one was there to keep it open.
I meanwhile bring the 15 canisters of Vibranium to give to Eitri as payment. I still had a lot of this stuff at home. About 150 canisters full. Which was more than enough for Siri's body, which would require about 60 canisters for it. Each canister contained about 1 litre of Vibranium. 60 litres will be enough for a female body. Probably a little bit more, but having extra is alright. I even have the power source ready, the crystals from Chitauri weapons, and even one of the Space Orbs, which I'll use in making Siri even stronger.
Heavy footsteps bring me out of my thinking, and I see Eitri return, carrying what I can tell is the most beautiful thing I've ever known.
The pole-axe was beautiful. The staff was silver-grey in colour, which was the full Berserker's Staff, 6 feet in height. The blades of the Axe were sleek black in colour, with lines of violet running through them, indicating the power of the Power Stone and the Space Stone. The edges of the blade had been sharpened by Eitri and looked Silver too.
"Here it is. Jarnbjorn" Eitri says and presents the Pole axe to me. I notice that Eitri was not touching the axe directly, instead using thick gloves.
I ask him, "Jarnbjorn? Iron bear?" Wasn't Jarnbjorn supposed to be Thor's axe before he wielded Mjolnir. I don't even think it was double bladed.
"Yes. This cast was made by me, to be Thor's axe. Thor, however, elected to use the hammer, Mjolnir. The energies of the two infinity stones is infused to the stones, and if you don't burn yourself out, you may even learn to use them." Eitri explains.
"Huh. That's wonderful. Are you sure Asgard won't mind?" I ask, wearily. This was supposed to be Thor's weapon.
Eitri laughs at me and says, "I decide who to make weapons for, boy. Thor and the Asgardians have turned their backs on me, already. Let them stew."
I laugh nervously at that. Looking at the axe, still in Eitri's hands, I ask, "May I?"
Eitri nods and moves his hands forward a bit. Venom gets out of my body, not willing to risk it. I slowly move my right hand towards the handle of the axe and touch it with my forefinger.
Pause.
Nothing happens, so I hold the handle in my palms and lift it up. The axe lights up like the 4th of July, violet lights running through the handle as well as the head.
"AAARRGHHH!!!" I scream out in pain. It hurt. God damn, it hurt so much. But I don't bow down. I lift the axe, still screaming into the air and hold it with both hands now. I was burning from the inside, the Extrimis fixing me up, again and again, each time making me better.
Thankfully the Reality stone had already made my body tougher than before, so I get used to the pain quickly.
I quickly swing the axe into the air, in the direction of empty space. A beam of Violet light gets shot out from Jarnbjorn and into the vacuum of space. I see it hit a space rock and destroy it completely.
The pain recedes, the lights on Jarnbjorn start dimming, little by little. And I stop burning.
"That.. wasn't.. so bad.. was it?" I ask Eitri, breathing hard.
"That was the most pathetic weapon selection I've ever seen in 3000 years." Eitri bluntly says. Then he smiles and says, "But this weapon also has the energies of 2 infinity stones flowing through it, and you are a Midgardian, so it was understandable. It was amusing to watch though. And the last part where you destroyed that meteor was amazing to watch."
I sigh at that and just sit down. That shit was tiring. Venom looks at me and asks, "Is it safe to join again?"
I just shake my head and say, "Sure. Wait till I'm done screaming. It's alright now." Venom quickly jumps at me and fuses to my body. I once again feel refreshed, thanks to Venom healing me.
I look up at Eitri and say, "Thank you for this. Is this much Vibranium enough as a payment?" I had brought out 15 of those canisters. Though if he asked for more, I'd readily give them to him.
Eitri looks at the Neutron star and then around the place. Everything was still silent. He says, "About a week ago, 300 Dwarves stayed on Nidavellir. Now I'm alone. What will I even do with all this metal?"
I look at Eitri sadly, the man's whole race has gone extinct. He ought to be really hurting. I say, "There will come a time, when Thor returns to Nidavellir for another weapon."
"Why? And how do you know?" Eitri asks sharply.
I sit down, Jarnbjorn still in my hands and say, "I have seen what will happen in a few years. I was 6 years old when it happened. Which is why I've been preparing for so long, and why I came for this axe. Odin is fated to die in about 4 years from now. And you know what happens when Odin dies."
Eitri widens his eyes and sits down, "Hela." He whispers.
I nod and say, "Hela returns. But Thor and Loki manage to defeat her, Hela destroys Mjolnir in the fights. Thanos attacks what remains of Asgard after that, and Thor fights him, being utterly humiliated by Thanos in the fight. Which is why he will come for a weapon."
Eitri thinks upon it and asks, "Why didn't Asgard come help Nidavellir? Why didn't Heimdall send anyone to help us?" slowly growing angry.
So I tell him, "Odin is not on Asgard anymore, Eitri. Heimdall is there, but he has been relieved off his duty by Loki, who is currently pretending to be Odin and ruling in his stead. The new watcher is probably not as good at the thing as Heimdall is. Not having the all seeing eyes can be a bit of an obstacle."
Eitri snorts and calms down. He asks, "Can you take me to Asgard?"
I shake my head and reject the idea, "Asgard is in danger of being destroyed. I drop you there and you'll be killed in 4 short years, Eitri, by Thanos' hands at that. You're safer on Nidavellir."
Eitri laughs sadly and says, "Even my last option is not viable. I'll keep the metal, if you don't mind. As you say, Thor will return some day. I'd rather use this metal along with Uru to make the weapon stronger. Although, promise me one thing Midgardian."
I nod, asking him to continue, "Promise me that Thanos will die. Avenge my fellow Dwarves in my name, and I'll bless Jarnbjorn like I blessed Mjolnir, making it return to you if you throw it." He says.
I widen my eyes. I didn't know Eitri made the hammer that way. I always thought it was something Odin did. Although it makes sense, Stormbreaker came to Thor as soon as it was made.
I say, "I give you my word, King Eitri. Thanos will die, and I'll have a hand in his death. I might not make the killing shot, but I'll be there when he dies."
Eitri nods and pats my back. He wipes his eyes a little and says, "Go now, boy. I'd like to grieve in peace. Jarnbjorn was already blessed."
I huff out a laugh at his sneakiness. That was absolutely Slytherin of him, making me make that promise. Though if he hadn't offered to bless it, I'd have still made the promise to him. I wanted to see Thanos die. And anyone who follows him will follow the fate.
I say, "It was good to meet you, King Eitri of Nidavellir. You have my thanks for allowing me to witness the making of such a weapon." I smile at him and absorb Jarnbjorn into the pocket space.
Eitri smiles and asks, "Tell me the name of the only Midgardian to be allowed a weapon of Nidavellir. Your name will forever be remembered in our writings."
I bow my head, answering, "My given name is Harry Osborn, of Midgard. I go by Venom whenever I'm wearing a mask on my face."
Saying this I show him my real face as well as the Venom face. He earned it. And I don't mind if he writes it down.
"Farewell Harry Osborn, Venom of Midgard. Now get out of Nidavellir. How did you come here anyway?" Eitri asks, curiously.
I smirk at him and instead of answering, take the Tesseract out of the pocket space. Looking at his shocked face, I wave at him cheekily and make a portal behind me falling through it before he can say anything.
A Nidavellir weapon, fused with the energy of 2 Infinity Stones. If this along with my next experiment on myself doesn't work, nothing will.
