Chapter 242 Forced Fusion
After slaying the Dwarf King, all twelve flying swords flew back to Li Jie.
However, because these flying swords haven't fully matured yet, therefore...
After Li Jie infused the sword with the profound sword intent and the primordial energy of heaven and earth, it was completely exhausted.
That delicate little sword, barely half an inch long, was on the verge of breaking.
Li Jie was not surprised by this.
He silently retrieved the twelve fading flying swords into his dantian to continue nurturing them, and then prepared to disappear into the void again to evade the pursuit of the Asgardian gods.
Fortunately, Li Jie used the sword formation "Disintegration" to deal with the only dwarf king among the gods who could track him.
so.....
In any case, as long as he doesn't get hit by Thor's lightning, he's safe now.
After crossing several blocks, Li Jie found a relatively secluded flat-roofed low house and hid inside.
After confirming that there were no other unusual movements around him, he focused his mind on the sword-nurturing gourd, preparing to check whether Hong had been awakened.
"Xiao Jue, how is it?"
“It will take some time. While you were out, I was trying to activate Rainbow’s self-awareness, but perhaps the trauma she suffered before was too great, so her defensiveness is now too severe.”
"What is the solution?"
"There is one, though, which is to forcibly fuse the Immortal-Trapping Sword into my natal flying sword. At that time, I can invade Hong's consciousness and awaken her, but..."
"Just what?"
"However, without the protection of the sword spirit, fusing with the third immortal sword will be an extremely painful process. Brother Li Jie, can you bear it?"
Hearing this, Li Jie hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
It wasn't that he was afraid of pain, but rather that he was afraid that during the fusion process, some unscrupulous alien god might cause trouble.
"In that case, let's not delay."
After saying that, Xiao Jue first placed the red-clad Rainbow above the coastline, then rolled up his sleeves and returned to Li Jie's Qi Sea with two immortal swords, one blue and one red.
"What do I need to do?"
Above the pale blue sea of qi, Li Jie looked at the two illusory figures floating above the lotus platform and said softly.
"You don't need to do anything, just stay calm."
"On the lotus platform are the imprints of my and Fairy Sister's natal flying swords. Although the whole process is very safe, it cannot alleviate your pain..."
So... are you ready?
"Further words are pointless...you...hiss...~!"
Before Li Jie could finish speaking, Xiao Jue had already projected the spirit of the Immortal Trapping Sword, which slammed fiercely into the lotus platform.
After unconsciously sensing Xiao Jue's strange behavior, the Trapping Immortal Sword began to struggle frantically. Although it was sealed by the Immortal Execution Sword and the Absolute Immortal Sword, no energy leaked out.
But those streaks of crimson sword light actually struck Li Jie's dantian.
Li Jie's body involuntarily convulsed in pain, curling up like a boiled shrimp.
It would be alright if the pain came from all directions.
But it's obvious...
Protected by the two immortal swords, the Immortal-Trapping Sword can only attack the weakest points surrounding it.
Once the pain receptors reached Li Jie's brain, he could only feel the excruciating pain emanating from his dantian.
"Couldn't we... go somewhere else?..."
..........
At the summit of the main temple in Asgard.
Odin coldly stared at the lightning net that had fallen into the Netherworld, and asked Thor, who stood respectfully to the side, in a low voice.
Have you noticed anything unusual?
Upon hearing the question, Thor replied with considerable embarrassment.
"Father, apart from some unsightly smashed pieces, I haven't noticed anything else unusual."
"Similarly... I didn't sense Li Jie's presence either."
After speaking, Thor involuntarily took a step back, as if afraid of Odin's wrath, and dared not look directly at the white-haired old man in front of him.
"What a waste!"
"Do you think he can get away?"
"Where's Loki? Have we heard anything from him?"
"Not yet... Father, should I also go to the Netherworld City-State to search for it?"
"No need. You're not familiar with the terrain, so just leave it to Loki..."
"By the way, what about the Eternal Flame? Was it given to that old man yet?"
"I didn't have time to get it; it's still here with me."
"That's good... If we can't find that sword, giving him this fire would be a waste..."
"Let's keep searching... He can't escape anyway..."
After saying his last words, Odin leaned back on his throne and fell asleep.
Thor and Heimdall bowed respectfully, then strolled out of the hall.
The long corridor outside the palace.
Heimdall spoke to Thor in a deep voice.
"My lord, shall we make a trip to the Netherworld City-State? With my Eye of Truth, I am sure I can find where that little mouse is hiding... As long as we catch him and present the two immortal swords to our king, your status as heir will be unshakeable."
Hearing this, Thor was also somewhat tempted.
On this day, it made many mistakes in front of Odin, and even its application to go to the Underworld to hunt down Li Jie was rejected by its father.
If Odin doesn't do something useful to make amends, he'll probably strip Odin of his position as heir.
After pondering for a while, Thor glanced back at the direction of the palace, as if he had made up his mind, and strode towards the treasure vault of the divine artifacts.
"Sir, where are you going?"
“Retrieve the Destroyer from the treasure vault. Since we’re going to Sin City, we should prepare more methods.”
Upon hearing this, Heimdall's eyes lit up with excitement.
As Thor's follower, as long as Odin passes away and Thor successfully ascends the throne, his status will surely rise accordingly.
Then he could stop guarding that damned Heavenly Gate and return to his personal guard as a leader.
With this in mind, Heimdall's gaze hardened once more.
I will definitely catch him and make you the rightful heir to Asgard!
..........
The Netherworld City-State.
Li Jie had lost count of how long the excruciating pain had lasted; once the fusion began, there was no turning back.
Although the process was extremely painful, the projection of the third immortal sword above the lotus platform in the dantian was gradually taking shape.
It's estimated that the third natal flying sword will be fully fused soon.
