chapter 0267 part 2
Thor and Rocket Raccoon, covered by the Invisibility Cloak, almost turned the entire Mine upside down but couldn't find any trace of Star-Lord.
With no other option, the two had to follow the Bus back to the Number One Forward Operating Base, hoping to find clues about Star-Lord's Whereabouts.
"It seems this place is very important. Smelting Workshop?"
Using the advantage of the Invisibility Cloak, the two explored the entire Forward Base but still couldn't find any trace of Star-Lord.
It wasn't until the two followed an Ore Escort Convoy to a Smelting Center a hundred kilometers away from the Forward Base.
Here, the two saw what it meant to be heavily guarded.
This Base was built in the Mountain Interior of a large mountain. The entire Base, including the mountain cracks, was actually cast with Metal.
Inside the Metal Passage, countless Iron Soldiers stood. In their Mechanical Eyes, a Red Light invisible to the Naked Eye flickered. Infrared scanned the Passage over and over again.
At the end of the Passage, there were also some Winged Gargoyle Sculptures. In their Gem-like Eyes, there was a Hazy Light.
Although Thor was not proficient in Magic Arts, his mother and Younger Brother were top Magic Users in the Marvel World.
Thor recognized that the Colored Light in the Gargoyles' eyes was released by extremely Formidable Illusion and Phantasm Breaking Spells.
And below these Gargoyle Sculptures, a row of White Beads, like Pearls, were inlaid.
"Little guy, it seems we need to be cautious. I feel an Undead Aura on these Beads!"
Thor looked at the wall inlaid with White Bone Beads in front of him and whispered to Rocket Raccoon.
Those Beads carried a powerful Energy Fluctuation that Thor had never felt before—gloomy, deathly, a kind of unspeakable profound taste.
"A completely new Power, like the Energy of Undead Creatures summoned by Dark Creatures."
Thor's expression changed drastically. He didn't fear this Energy, but the Energy displayed by this unknown Influence made him consider whether he should warn the Asgard of this World.
After all, this Influence occupied Heimdall, and Necromantic Magic, if he remembered correctly, this Power had always been a Taboo in Asgard.
When his Younger Brother Loki was young, he once found an Ancient Grimoire about Necromantic Magic and wanted to practice it, but his Father King found out and almost beat Loki's Rear bloody.
He never understood why, thinking it was just because his Father King didn't like people playing with Souls. It wasn't until he experienced the conflict with his sister, the Contender for the Throne, that Thor understood.
King Odin feared the power behind the Necromantic Magic book, his sister, the Goddess of Death (Hela)! Carefully avoiding these White Beads of unknown Origin, Thor and Rocket Raccoon finally arrived at the very center of the Mountain Interior, a vast Metallurgy Base.
Dozens of assembly lines were laid out in the huge Mountain Interior Space. In the crowded Metallurgy field, there were sounds of hammering and sparks flying everywhere.
Huge Artificial Suns provided Energy Source and High Temperature, melting Metal Ingots in furnaces into liquid metal.
Some short but extremely strong Big Beard Dwarves controlled Mechanical Arms to adjust the proportion of these Metal Liquids. The adjusted Metal Juice was poured into molds prepared beforehand.
These cooled Metal Ingots were picked up by Metal clamps and placed on assembly lines, flowing to the next stage.
On the assembly line, heavy hydraulic hammers continuously forged, hammering pieces of red-hot Metal Ingots into various shapes. The busy, irritable Dwarves on the assembly line left Thor dumbfounded. He recognized those Dwarves, they were the Dwarf race from Nidavellir, famous Forging Masters in the Universe. His Stormbreaker, Mjolnir, and even King Odin's Gungnir were all made by these Dwarves.
But how could they be here? Thor curiously leaned next to the assembly line, looking at the strange Weapons being forged, some iron rods, Swords, and some flags woven with Metal wires, and strange Skulls.
At the end of the assembly line, some intelligent Robots used extremely fine Needles to perform micro-engraving on these Metal Weapon models. Were these all Magic Weapons like his Stormbreaker?
"Big guy, big guy—"
Just as Thor was feeling some Doubt, Rocket Raccoon, who had somehow slipped out of the Cloak using his size, slipped back and pulled Thor towards another Room in the Mountain Interior.
The empty hall was about two to three thousand square meters in size. The brick floor of the hall was covered with Magic Patterns. From the flickering Energy Glow, it could be seen that these Magic Arrays were in an Energy Activation state.
Hollow Black Vortexes lit up and closed in the center of the Magic Arrays. Every time the Magic Array lit up and the central Black Vortex appeared, countless small Demons, about the size of human children aged four or five, swarmed out from the Vortex.
The River Styx flowed, and a continuous stream of small Demons hatched from the deepest part of Hell's Underworld Sea, drifting along the River Styx to various Abyss Worlds.
They were the lowest level cannon fodder, the foundation of the entire Hell. Their numbers were simply too large, with hundreds of millions of small Demons born every second.
They would be the Subordinates, Food, and Cannon Fodder on the Battlefield for High-Rank Demons. They were also the foundation of Hell, just like the weeds in the Material World. These small Demons would kill and Devour each other, gradually growing into Mid-Rank or even High-Rank Demons over time.
Black Vortexes would occasionally open in the River Styx, sucking in large numbers of small Demons.
These small Demons, with mouths full of Fangs and bodies covered in black Scales, had just arrived in the Reality Dimension hall. Iron Soldiers, in groups of ten, were like fishermen catching fish during a fish run, looking into the Vortex mouth and fishing.
small Demons, who had just been born in the Underworld Sea not long ago and arrived in the Mortal Realm through the Magic Array, were like salmon going against the flow, netted ashore in scoops.
Using net scoops carved with Jambudvīpa World Demonic Dao Runes to catch these small Demons was not much harder than fishing.
There were simply too many of these small Demons. A few Occult Researchers (Black Wizards) at Tang Group's Hive Base initially just used small Demons for Experiments.
Such as Integrated Human-Demon Bloodline Modification Technology, and the damage of Holy Water to Demons.
On the composition of Demonic Organs—Anatomical Argumentation Theory.
With hundreds of projects prepared, these small Demons won unanimous praise from the Researchers for their quantity and durability.
Large quantity, a plentiful supply, this was the biggest advantage of small Demons.
On one occasion, the Forging Department received an Order to be responsible for Mass Production of some "Magic" Weapons Refining Methods.
These magical "Magic Weapons" mostly used Souls, like the so-called Hundred Spirits Immortal Slaying Sword, which is said to require Refining the Souls of a hundred kinds of magical Beasts and finally condensing them into one to obtain a Formidable Magic Weapon.
Magical Beasts were easy to find at first, there were many in this Underworld, like giant eagles, Dark Demon Bats, but extracting Souls was a very troublesome Matter.
Only the Magic Weapons bestowed by the Big Boss had the Ability to hook Souls.
Later, Hei Mu Mingliang, an Occult Researcher responsible for Demon Research, had a sudden idea one day. Many Demons were between Soul and entity, so why not use Demons from Hell to replace these Souls and forge these Magic Weapons with Demons?
She had seen the Big Boss use these Demons to Refine those four magical Bone Banners.
