Chapter 74 - 3-Pointed Double-Edged Blade

The weapon that Li Yue had asked the Dwarf King Eitri to forge was a weapon from the movie "New Gods: Yang Jian" that he had watched in his previous life. It was the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade.

Why would he ask for such a weapon, you ask?

Because it looks awesome!

In his previous life, when Li Yue was still a chuunibyou, he fell in love with the god Erlang Shen from the television drama "The Lotus Lantern," portrayed by the actor Jiao Enjun. That image of Erlang Shen was firmly imprinted into his heart.

Li Yue's image of the god Erlang Shen also extends to the legendary Yang Jian. He was still somewhat unable to accept anyone else to portray the role of Yang Jian, the god of Erlang.

Li Yue's request for the Dwarf King to forge the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade was to fulfill his old chuunibyou dream.

In truth, the shape of the weapon couldn't matter less: Li Yue couldn't use any weapon at all.

...

Li Yue felt that the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade in his right hand was perfectly compatible with him. It was as if it was part of his body. He could control it as he pleased.

Li Yue waved the weapon a few times, but he didn't even feel its weight. It was so light, and he could move it freely.

Yet its actual weight was not light at all. Ordinary people would never be able to wield it. The artifact only felt light for Li Yue because he was recognized as their master by the divine artifact.

Li Yue marveled at the exquisite skill of the dwarves. The shaft and the blade of the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade were perfectly fused, and intricate patterns were carved into the blade. The shaft felt very comfortable in his hand.

Li Yue tried channeling energy into the weapon. There was no resistance to the flow: it was as if he was just channeling the energy to his arm. As expected of the Uru metal. The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade shone brightly with blue light.

The same blue light also emanated from points around Li Yue, orbiting irregularly around him.

Li Yue's aura rose steadily. The space around him began to be saturated with power, and sounds similar to breaking glass could be heard.

Right as his aura peaked, Li Yue threw his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade at a meteorite thousands of meters away.

The weapon in his hand disappeared. He couldn't see its trajectory, which was understandable since it wasn't flying at all. The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade teleported right in front of the meteorite and effortlessly pierced through it.

Boom!!!

The sound existed only in Li Yue's imagination. The distant meteorite was swallowed by a dazzling blue explosion, which instantly disappeared.

The meteorite did not even leave a fragment behind. It disappeared without a trace. The destruction was soundless, as if the meteorite was simply erased from existence. Where it was, only Li Yue's Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade remained, emitting a faint blue glow.

The weapon returned to Li Yue's hand with just another thought. It was pretty much confirmed that Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade has the power to teleport to and from a target at will. Almost nothing could evade its attack.

...

Li Yue smiled mischievously. He changed his body to the God of Thunder form. The blue light around his body instantly turned into countless silver electric arcs that wrapped around his body. The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade also flashed with lightning. It was even more powerful than Thor's aura.

Li Yue recalled the old TV shows in his previous life and took a classic pose, descending towards Thor and Eitri with the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade pointing down in his right hand.

Li Yue's pose was perfect, and his form was elegant. His thunder-clad body gave the appearance of an immortal god descending to Earth. Unfortunately, his casual clothes ruined the image he tried to create, so Thor and the others were unfazed.

"Your weapon and pose are great, but you lacked flashy armor and a fluttering cloak! You're still far from my level!" Thor mercilessly tore down Li Yue's performance. Eitri simply nodded in agreement beside him.

"Dammit. Thor, didn't you say that you want to fight? Come on, let's find a place to have a good sparring match!" Li Yue said fiercely, feeling defeated.

Li Yue didn't expect that the simple-minded Thor would so harshly criticize his attempt at looking cool. He made a mental note to visit Wakanda, if he ever had the time, to get a few sets of vibranium armor so he wouldn't be looked down upon again!

...

"No, no, no. I don't want to spar with a freak like you. I want to go to Midgard. So, goodbye!

"Brother Eitri, thank you for this time. I will come to see you again when I have time. Bye-bye!"

Thor might be a muscle-head, but he wasn't stupid. He had just witnessed the horror of Li Yue's power, which could easily destroy a meteorite with a casual attack. Any thought of sparring with Li Yue had disappeared from his mind.

Thor didn't think that he would be able to destroy a meteorite as thoroughly as Li Yue just did. And it was just a casual attack. Thor couldn't even imagine how terrifying the full might of the blue energy on Li Yue's body would be.

When Li Yue's body first exploded with energy, Thor could feel something wrong with his divine power. It was as if his power as the God of Thunder had been forcibly suppressed by immense power, forcing him to submit.

The last time Thor ever felt this kind of sensation was from his father, but the feeling he got from Li Yue was even worse. Odin was able to control the divine power of the Allfather, after all.

Therefore, Thor did not respond to Li Yue's challenge. He used the Stormbreaker to summon Bifrost and teleport away from Nidavellir, leaving only a single sentence to bid farewell to the Dwarf King Eitri.

...

"That Thor, why was he in such a hurry?"

Thor had left Li Yue, an outsider, on Nidavellir. Li Yue could only smile awkwardly at Eitri.

"Thor is still the same. Although his strength has increased greatly, his character has not changed at all. He is still so careless when doing things!"

Eitri and Thor were old acquaintances, so the Dwarf King knew Thor's personality very well.

"By the way, Brother Eitri, I have a request. If possible, I want to get another weapon from you. It doesn't have to be one that you personally made. It's fine if it's one of your older production!" Li Yue said sheepishly.

Li Yue felt a little shameless. The dwarves had forged a weapon for him for free, yet he immediately asked for another one.

However, Li Yue felt that he needed a close-range weapon as well, so he swallowed his pride.

"Ah, Is that it? I thought you'd ask for something big. We produced a lot of weapons over the years, but our only customer was Asgard, so we have a lot of unused weapons in stock!

"Let's go. I'll take you to the warehouse. You can choose whatever you want. Just one more? You can take ten, or even a hundred, no problem!"

Eitri then led Li Yue to their armory. The massive storage warehouse was filled with all kinds of weapons: spears, halberds, long swords, and so on. They were all western style, similar to what Li Yue saw in Asgard.

A blade in the corner caught Li Yue's attention. It wasn't very long; the blade itself was about 60 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide. It didn't have much curve either. (Author note: Refer to Deadpool's swords.) Li Yue picked it up and found that its balance suited him pretty well.

"This is it!"

Li Yue immediately made the decision.

"Oh, one more thing, Eitri. If a purple man named Thanos comes here, you should find a way to call Thor as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Li Yue had finished all his goals, but he gave one final instruction to Eitri.

Without waiting for Eitri to reply, Li Yue disappeared from Nidavellir, leaving not even a trace of his aura!
