Chapter 85 The Nation-Protecting Divine Weapon! The White Tiger Seven Kill Blades!

What is that?

Howard scratched the back of his head, clearly a little confused.

Task 1 is understandable, since the other side is reinforcements.

But what the heck is Mission Two?

Who is the transnational master thief, Gu Yi?

What exactly is the White Tiger Seven Kill Blade, the national treasure weapon?

Although Howard couldn't understand what Qian Chen was saying, he could sense that it must be something very important.

"Wait a moment, let me sort out my thoughts."

"Captain Qian, could you please give me a brief introduction to this transnational thief you've mentioned, Gu Yi? Forgive my bluntness, but I've never heard of such a person in the Western Continent."

Howard remained calm. He didn't immediately agree to help, but instead focused on Gu Yi, the key figure mentioned by Qian Chen!

Qian Chen sighed, "That's a long story!"

Who is Gu Yi?

That's right, it's that famous bald-headed monk.

If she hadn't suddenly appeared, Qian Chen wouldn't have even realized that he had transmigrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Logically speaking, the bald guy should be considered a good guy.

As the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, she has always been a righteous protector of peace on Earth, but after Qian Chen unlocked the cheat code, she became his mortal enemy.

There is no other reason.

As the holder of the Time Stone, the Eye of Agamotto, it is the Ancient One's duty to protect the correctness of the sacred timeline.

Qian Chen's incredible comeback is undoubtedly a disruptive force to the sacred timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Therefore, in order to protect the sacred timeline from being altered, the Ancient One must eliminate Qian Chen, an unstable factor, so that the entire plot can return to its original course.

This was clearly something Qian Chen could not accept at all!

So the two of them inexplicably became mortal enemies!

Fortunately, the true immortals are still incredibly powerful!

Fortunately, this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so Qian Chen easily defeated the Ancient One. However, the bald man, with the power of the Eye of Agamotto, engaged in a tug-of-war with Qian Chen.

This battle lasted for five years!

But Qian Chen was never alone!

Behind him stood countless compatriots!

As the Eastern Continent continued to absorb the various resources brought by Qian Chen's crossover, both scientific and martial arts flourished, and its overall strength advanced by leaps and bounds, directly becoming Qian Chen's most solid backing.

Unable to continue resisting Qian Chen in the East, the Ancient One was forced to leave Kamar-Taj.

Before leaving, she used the Eye of Agamotto to steal the remains of the White Tiger Seven Kill Blade, intending to use the power of this national treasure to rebuild the world and have a final showdown with Qian Chen.

Howard, being a traditional Westerner, clearly didn't quite understand the Eastern fantasy story Qian Chen was telling.

He could only rely on his imagination to understand the various terms Qian Chen used: "Waitamoment! Letme..."

Think, think! My mind's a bit of a mess —

"The Ancient One was an evil witch who was proficient in time and space magic. She fought you for a long time, and you won this battle with the support of the Eastern Continent?"

Qian Chen nodded. "You can understand it that way."

Howard, a renowned genius scientist, naturally harbored skepticism towards such magical and mystical matters, so he pressed on, "According to you, the Eye of Agamotto is an extremely powerful artifact of time. Why would the Ancient One risk stealing the remains of an ancient weapon?"

Qian Chen explained calmly, "Of course, it's because this remnant of a divine weapon possesses world-destroying power!"

"Since the Qin Emperor ascended the throne, every dynasty that achieved unification forged an imperial weapon, also known as a national treasure. Qin's Tianwen, Han's Chixiao, Sima Jin's Baihu Qisha Blade, Sui Wendi's Phoenix-Winged Gilded Halberd, Tang Taizong's Juque Heavenly Bow that dominated the world, Wu Zetian's Wordless Divine Stele that shone like the sun and moon, the Mongol Yuan Empire's Tianlang Demon Blade that traversed the four seas, and the Ming Dynasty recreated the world with the Sun and Moon Divine Sword—"

"Unfortunately, the Manchu Qing dynasty ultimately seized power in the Central Plains with the Thirteen Sacred Armor of Wild Boarskin, nearly squandering the fortune that had been passed down in the East for thousands of years! Fortunately, countless heroes faced death without fear and followed one after another, finally managing to turn the tide and avert disaster."

Howard, struggling to keep up with Qian Chen's pace, urgently called for a halt, saying, "Wait a minute! Let me sort this out a bit more!"

"Actually, I know a little bit about your Eastern history. Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming —"

"Since even Empress Wu Zetian is included, I don't understand why Captain Qian would omit the Song Dynasty?"

"As far as I know, Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, was very capable!"

Qian Chen pursed his lips and explained helplessly, "Zhao Laoda's contributions are beyond doubt, but the Song Dynasty was divided between the Liao and Jin dynasties, and ultimately failed to achieve the great achievement of unification."

"Therefore, although the Panlong Divine Charm is powerful, it has not been rated as a national special-class protected cultural relic, but can only be considered a first-class protected cultural relic."

"It can only be said that some of the descendants of the Zhao family are truly disappointing. Even a gifted scholar like Yue Pengju couldn't turn the tide. How tragic and lamentable!"

"In the end, all of Zhao Laoda's great achievements in pacifying the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were wasted, so that the Panlong Divine Swindler will never be qualified to be ranked among the national guardian deities, and can only sit at the table of first-class cultural relics —"

Howard shrugged. As a typical Westerner, he couldn't understand the Eastern continent's obsession with unification.

"Alright, alright! Although I don't quite understand, I respect your country's evaluation standards; there must be a reason for them."

"However, I have a new question—"

Qian Chen frowned slightly, clearly somewhat helpless.

No wonder Howard became a scientist, what a questioning child, I don't know where all these questions come from!

Seeing Qian Chen's expression change, Howard immediately assured him, "Captain Qian, I promise this is the last question. I just want to know, if this so-called national treasure is so powerful, how did the dynasty that possessed it fall?"

Qian Chen glanced at Howard, not expecting that this guy would ask such a crucial question so directly.

"Because the national guardian weapons are closely related to the fate of the nation, when a dynasty's government collapses and discipline decays at its end, the national guardian weapons will also collapse. Unless the weapons are restored to their former glory, they will be unable to display their divine power. The change of dynasties is ordained by Heaven, and the national guardian weapons are all created to carry on this destiny, so naturally they will also be destroyed along with it!"

Howard astutely extracted the important keywords.

"The divine weapon shines again?"

"Can a destroyed national treasure be reforged?"

Qian Chen raised an eyebrow and gave Howard a second look.

This guy is really capable; he always manages to spot the key issues. No wonder he's Tony Stark's father!

"Of course. The most famous example of a divine weapon regaining its glory is Emperor Guangwu of Han recasting the Chixiao sword, thus continuing the Han Dynasty's prosperity for another hundred years."

"Besides, if the divine weapon can't be restored to its former glory, then what was the point of the Ancient One stealing the White Tiger Seven Kill Blades?"

Howard felt a hundred claws scratching at his heart after hearing Qian Chen's words, but because of his promise, he couldn't ask any more questions, and his face turned red with anxiety.

Seeing this, Qian Chen couldn't help but laugh. It was quite rare for Howard Stark to be so worried.

"Aren't you eager to know how to restore the divine weapon to its former glory?"

"Mhm!" Howard nodded repeatedly, his ears perked up. Perhaps feeling embarrassed, he quickly added, "But I didn't ask you that!"

Qian Chen rolled his eyes at Howard upon hearing this. Although he despised such hypocritical behavior, he still answered Howard's question: "The re-lighting of a divine weapon requires the corresponding re-lighting ritual. Every national treasure divine weapon has a corresponding historical period at its creation, and the simplest ritual to reforge a divine weapon is to recreate that historical period—"

"The White Tiger Seven Kill Blade, as the national treasure weapon of the Sima Jin dynasty, is most famous for the story of the Sima family's treacherous usurpation of the Wei dynasty."

"Therefore, the simplest secret ritual to reforge the White Tiger Seven Kill Blade is to emulate the Sima family and commit a treacherous act of betraying their master!"

When the mention of the Divine Weapon Reforged, Qian Chen's expression gradually became serious. He continued, "As far as I know, this is not the first time someone has tried to reforge the White Tiger Seven Kill Blade."

"Going back further, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Shi Jingtang, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, recognized the Khitan as his father and was willing to bear the infamy of being a son emperor, all in order to usurp the Liao Dynasty and recast the White Tiger Seven Kill Blade."

"Unfortunately, he failed! Not only did he die and his country perish, but in the end, even his reputation was forever tarnished!"

"To put it more recently, during the Far East offensive and defensive war two years ago, Fu Manchu also did not hesitate to ruin his own reputation, willingly acknowledging the enemy as his master, attempting to use the puppet state of Manchukuo to betray Japan, thereby reforging the White Tiger Seven Kill Blades and restoring his empire —"

At this point, Qian Chen revealed a mocking smile.

"Heh heh—a mere corpse-guarding ghost dares to jump out and cause trouble right under my nose? For this reason, I made a special trip to the Far East, led a team to slaughter 100,000 Japanese troops stationed in Japan, and directly retrieved the White Tiger Seven Kill Blade from Fu Manchu."

"Unfortunately, although the Thirteen Sacred Armor of Wild Boarskin has collapsed, it still retains a trace of the power of a national treasure, which is why Fu Manchu was able to escape from my grasp by chance."

"Now that Fu Manchu has probably fled to the West, it's possible he'll join forces with the Ancient One to deal with me!"

Howard listened with great interest, even offering his own analysis: "Could the Ancient One have given the remnants of the White Tiger Seven Kill Blade to Fu Manchu for reforging?"

Qian Chen smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"Won't!"

"Because there is someone more suitable than Fu Manchu—"

Howard, intrigued, pressed on, "Who is it?"

Qian Chen grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, but what he said next sent a chill down Howard's spine: "Little Mustache's henchman, the leader of Hydra, Red Skull John Schmidt! He's also a traitor, more suitable than Fu Manchu to reforge the White Tiger Seven Kill Blades!"

Upon hearing this, Howard was completely stunned!

Howard might not know anyone else, but he definitely knew John Schmidt, the Red Skull!

The Allied super-soldier program, which is currently being rolled out intensively, is primarily led by Dr. Abraham Erskine, a traitor from Hydra.

According to Dr. Erskine, John Schmidt, the Red Skull, was the first failed case of a super soldier.

The failure here does not mean that he failed to enhance it.

Rather, it's because the initially developed drug, while strengthening the body, also amplified the evil inherent in human nature.

Of course, it also disfigured John Schmidt!

Otherwise, why do you think it's called Red Skull?

Because he has a red skull on his head!

Such an evil Nazi, having been injected with the super soldier enhancement serum and possessing a powerful divine weapon from the East, is likely doomed for the Allies!

Seeing Howard's dazed and frightened expression, Qian Chen gently patted his shoulder and reassured him with a smile, "Good brother, don't be afraid! I'm here, aren't I?"

"In order to deal with the White Tiger Seven Kill Blades, I specifically applied to bring another national treasure weapon out of the country —"
