Chapter 212 Soul Artifact, the Comeback Meow Hammer

"Your Highness, what conditions do you require for you to help us modify these weapons?" the Dwarf King asked, bowing to Rhodes.

"First of all, I want to make one thing clear to you: my ability is the application of soul energy."

So it's like giving these weapons, and even other objects, some extra soul energy, and I can also imbue them with soul power, allowing them to develop self-awareness.

However, the soul energy I consume is not generated out of thin air.

Besides consuming my own soul energy, I can also extract the lifespan of other life forms, convert it into soul energy, and then give life to an inanimate object.

Rhodes began to explain to the group of dwarves and Thor how to use and operate his special abilities.

"My goodness, it's about the soul, and you can even create life. That means you can extract a portion of other people's soul energy, or life force, right?" The Dwarf King nodded and asked.

This ability is incredibly powerful, and the power to extract another person's soul or lifespan must be a top-tier form of dark magic!

In fact, many gods, even Odin, the king of Asgard, practiced dark magic, so these dwarves were not averse to dark magic.

"That's right, but I will take 1/10 of the reward, so you can give up some of your lifespan, which is soul energy, and then give your weapons life."

"But don't worry, if you have potions to replenish soul energy or life energy, then these lost lifespans can be made up for," Rhodes said.

"This is truly peculiar magic. Your Highness Rhodes, could you bring my Mjolnir to life?" Thor asked, picking up his Mjolnir.

Thor would be quite willing to give life to Mjolnir, the hammer that has accompanied him in battle for hundreds of years, and bring it to life.

"Of course, no problem. However, I need to take 1/10 of the reward. How much soul energy is Thor willing to give to imbue your weapon with intelligence?" Rhode smiled and looked at Thor, asking.

It wasn't easy! After waiting for so long, you finally took the bait.

The souls of these dwarves are precious, but the soul energy of you, Prince of Asgard, Thor, is even more precious.

"How much do you think is appropriate? My weapon is very powerful," Thor said.

He was almost impatient for his Mjolnir to come to life. The thought of the Mjolnir chatting with him and keeping him entertained made Thor incredibly excited.

And most importantly, they are Asgardians. How could Asgardians not have something to replenish their soul energy?

Some special treasures, or even dark magic, can replenish soul energy once they are used.

"Thor, your father actually prepared a very special royal weapon for you. It is the most advanced weapon forged in Asgard, and it even surpasses the Spear of Eternity to some extent."

"If you want to imbue a weapon with perfect intelligence, then this weapon is the most suitable." The Dwarf King looked at Thor and said.

A century ago, Odin, the king of the gods, had already begun preparing his royal weapon for Thor! The royal weapon of each Asgardian monarch grew ever more powerful.

Thor's weapon is essentially a single-person version of the Bifrost, possessing absolute power and being the most powerful artifact.

"My father prepared the King's Weapon for me?" Thor asked.

The King's Weapon is far superior to other divine artifacts; it is a weapon that can only be forged and wielded by each generation of Asgardian kings.

Odin's kingly weapon was the Spear of Eternity, while Thor's hammer was the weapon he once used.

"That's right, King Odin has already prepared it. The mold is right here, just waiting for the day when you awaken the true power of Thor, and then you can possess this weapon," the Dwarf King said.

The current Thor has not awakened his full power of thunder. Rather than calling him the god of thunder, he is more like the god of hammers, relying entirely on his hammer Mjolnir in battle.

"Perhaps Father thinks I'm not ready to accept this weapon yet! But it's alright, there are many ways to replenish soul energy. I find my Mjolnir quite handy to use," Thor said.

"So, would you two like to give it a try?" Enough of the nonsense, I'm still waiting for my soul energy!

"Then let's extract mine first! We Asgardians have a long lifespan, so let's extract 110 years of our lifespan first, and use 100 years of our lifespan to give power to my Mjolnir," Thor said to Rhodes.

Ordinary Asgardians live for around five thousand years, while the royal family's lifespan is even longer; Odin, his father, lived for at least ten thousand years. (In the comics, the Avengers from ancient Earth—the original Phoenix, the Mammoth, Ghost Rider, and the first Wakanda king, Black Panther—all lived a million years ago. Therefore, Odin's lifespan in the comics is at least a million years. In the cinematic universe, it's likely over ten thousand years, considering it was Odin's father who fought the Dark Elves.)

"No problem, then come stand here and don't move. I'm going to start draining your life force. Don't resist, understand?" Rhodes came to Thor.

"OK! Come on! I can't wait to fight alongside Mjolnir," Thor said.

Rhodes nodded, activated the Soul-Soul Fruit's power, reached into Thor's chest, and extracted over a hundred years of his lifespan.

He left ten years of his lifespan as his reward, and directly injected the remaining one hundred years of his lifespan into Mjolnir.

After being infused with soul power, Mjolnir changed instantly.

Thor's hammer shone with a blue light and underwent an incredible transformation. After the life force was injected, a pair of eyes and a mouth suddenly opened on its silver head.

"Thank you, God from afar, for you have given me life, Thor, my master."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Although we've known each other for a long time, this is our first real conversation," Thor's hammer said in a very human-like way, and surprisingly, her voice was that of a woman.

In fact, these artifacts all possess some degree of intelligence, but they were simply not yet awakened. Rhodes provided them with soul energy, which enabled them to awaken.

"My God! You're a girl? I never knew you. You're a woman?" Thor looked surprised.

He never imagined that Thor's hammer, who had fought alongside him for so long, was actually a woman.

"Don't misunderstand, I don't have a gender. I just think you prefer this kind of voice. If you don't want it, I can change into a man's voice," Thor's hammer said.

"Haha! No need, no need, this is perfect."

"So, is it just about giving Thor's hammer intelligence so it can speak?" the Dwarf King asked.

If that's all there is to it, then he was slightly disappointed.

"Of course, that's not all. The weapon can fight on its own, without needing Thor to command it. It can even unleash all of Thor's moves," Rhodes said.

Ordinary weapons gain these abilities after being given life, but Thor's hammer should have some other functions, right?

Remember in Thor: Love and Family, Mjolnir granted Jane the power of Thor.

"That's not all! The God who gave me life can also infuse the power of Thor into a living being if I wish."

"You should know that Thor's divine power now all comes from me," Mjolnir said proudly.

She can even help Thor enhance his power and gain more perfect control over the power of Thor.

These are abilities it didn't have before; gaining wisdom is no joke.

"Great job! You really are my good buddy." Thor excitedly started playing with his Mjolnir.

"Alright, Dwarf King, let's take a look at my weapon upgrades first!" Rhodes said, looking at the Dwarf King.

"No problem, I'll upgrade this weapon for you. But then I'll have to remove some of the excess materials. I can tell it's top-level craftsmanship from a mortal artisan, but if we use our clan's method to forge it..."

"Then it must all be melted down. The skull on top must also be removed. I need to remelt the weapon and add Uru metal," said the Dwarf King.

"No problem, Hades, you can stay in the skeleton artifact for now!" Rhodes said.

"I understand, Master." Addis nodded, transferring his entire soul consciousness into Azoton's skeletal artifact.

Then they were removed from their weapons, which were then given to the Dwarf King.

"The iron here is quite good. At least 40% of it is iron, which is comparable to Uru metal, although it doesn't have the same magical conductivity. But it's strong enough. This weapon can be modified to be very powerful," the Dwarf King said after examining Rhodes's weapon, the spiked club.

"Then begin the forging, Dwarf King. I hope you can make my weapon even more powerful."

"Give it to me! It won't take long to forge this weapon." The Dwarf King picked up Rod's mace and prepared to forge it.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the weapons for Azeroth and Sargeras were already being forged by his men.

Just then, Helios, who was floating to the side, suddenly looked up at the neutron star in the sky and showed a look of surprise.

"Helios, what's wrong?" Rhodes.
