Meng Ran looked at Eitri walking towards them and was immediately excited. He knew that the new Qieyun he had been looking forward to had been forged.
Eitri walked over to them and handed Qieyun to Meng Ran.
"It's about to complete its transformation. You need to hold it in your hand to truly complete its metamorphosis and welcome its rebirth."
Meng Ran listened to Eitri's words and solemnly took Qieyun.
As he grasped the hilt of Qieyun, the branches wrapped around it suddenly grew some small thorns.
These thorns pierced through Meng Ran's Venom Battle Suit and the skin of his palm, absorbing his blood into Qieyun through the thorns.
Although Meng Ran felt a slight sting, he didn't let go, instead observing the changes in Qieyun with a solemn expression.
He saw that after Qieyun absorbed Meng Ran's blood, the blade began to tremble slightly.
With a slight tremor, Qieyun seemed to pierce through a layer of dark light that enveloped it, finally revealing its true appearance.
Its dark golden blade flashed with an extraordinary metallic luster, covered with intricate inscriptions and symbols. It also gradually took on a hint of dark red blood.
The hilt, made of slender branches, was no longer fresh and verdant as before. Instead, it dimmed to the same color as the antique and textured blade, turning into a deep gray-black. Only upon close inspection could one discern the hidden dark green within.
Meng Ran held the hilt in his right hand and stood the blade upright, while his left hand gently caressed the blade, feeling Qieyun's cold touch and its antique, dark luster and texture.
"It's so beautiful!" he couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the newly reborn Qieyun.
Eitri smiled in satisfaction after hearing Meng Ran's praise. As a master of forging weapons, nothing could compare to the satisfaction of personally creating a perfect work.
Thor, standing beside them, also wanted to play with the exquisite Qieyun in Meng Ran's hand. No man could resist such a perfect weapon.
At this moment, Meng Ran also snapped out of his joy. He turned to Eitri and asked solemnly, "What exactly was that branch just now? I can feel that it's extraordinary."
"I can't just take such a precious treasure like this. Please, tell me if there's anything I can do. I..."
Before Meng Ran could finish, Eitri waved his hand, interrupting him, and then smiled, "No need to be so polite. It was my decision to use it for the hilt."
"As a master weapon smith, I would regret it for the rest of my life if this work couldn't reach its most perfect state because of me."
Thor, listening to their conversation, looked thoughtfully at the branch on the hilt.
Suddenly, it seemed he thought of something, and he hurriedly asked Eitri, "Eitri, could that branch be from the World Tree?"
Eitri was also surprised when he heard Thor's words. He didn't expect Thor to recognize what the treasure was.
He smiled and nodded to Thor, "You have a good eye. That branch is indeed from the World Tree."
"Because some materials were left over after crafting the Gungnir for your father back then, the Dwarf King of that generation put them in this warehouse."
"When I saw Qieyun's knife hilt just now, I suddenly thought of this branch. With it, this work will be in its most perfect state."
Meng Ran, who was next to him, sucked in a breath of cold air after hearing the conversation between Eitri and Thor.
That branch is actually a branch from the World Tree. This favor I owe is huge. Meng Ran thought to himself.
However, this also demonstrated the Dwarf King Eitri's lofty pursuit of weapon forging. He used a World Tree branch just like that, just to make the weapon reach its most perfect state.
Thinking of this, Meng Ran also felt grateful towards Eitri.
He solemnly looked at Eitri and promised, "I'll remember this favor. No matter what happens in the future, as long as you need me, I will do my best to help."
Eitri, after all, was pursuing perfection in his work. Although he was also moved to hear Meng Ran's promise, he didn't think he would ever really need Meng Ran's help.
After all, in his opinion, with Asgard and the currently prominent God of Thunder as their backing, there was no one in the universe who would be so blind as to provoke them.
Thor guessed Eitri's thoughts at this moment. He stood between them and reminded them half-jokingly, "Hahaha, with the Evil Ghost's promise, your Dwarves' safety will be even more guaranteed."
"Although I really don't want to admit it, we just sparred before coming here, and I lost miserably."
Hearing Thor's words, Eitri, who had not taken it seriously, was stunned. He didn't expect that this strange-looking Evil Ghost would actually possess such formidable strength.
Meng Ran also heard Thor's words. He just smiled modestly, "Just luck, just luck."
In Eitri's heart, Meng Ran's image began to be reshaped again.
Just then, Thor finally "snatched" Qieyun from Meng Ran. He had been eyeing it for a long time and could finally hold it and play with it.
Meng Ran saw Thor's expression and understood his thoughts, so he let go and handed Qieyun over.
As Thor held Qieyun, a strange gray energy suddenly spread from the handle.
At the same time, the hand holding the blade's hilt gradually became gray and shriveled.
Seeing this strange situation and feeling the odd sensation in his hand, Thor immediately let go.
After releasing his grip, the gray, strange energy on Qieyun immediately disappeared, and Thor's right hand stopped its graying and withering.
Then, under his vigorous vitality, his right hand, which had already shrunk somewhat, gradually began to fill out again, returning to its original state.
Meng Ran immediately took over the weapon when Thor let go. Strangely, Qieyun behaved very well in his hand, and nothing like what had just happened occurred.
"What's going on?" Meng Ran and Thor exchanged glances, both bewildered and puzzled by the situation.
Thor patted Eitri's thigh, who was still in disbelief, and then urgently asked, "Eitri, what's going on? Is there something wrong with this weapon?"
