Marvel Disassembler

Under severe mental exhaustion, Arthur fell into a deep sleep.

Frigga helped him recover his mental state, while Odin stood by, lost in thought: "Just now, I couldn't sense him."

"It was as if he had disappeared from this world entirely."

Frigga glanced at Odin as she spoke: "But looking at him now, it seems he has become more closely connected to this world. What exactly is happening? I've never seen anything like it."

"Anything could happen to him."

Odin pondered for a moment, then sighed: "He may carry incredibly profound secrets on him. That is likely the real reason he can change everything."

Frigga nodded, remaining silent.

The couple stayed by Arthur's side for about two more hours before Arthur finally began to wake up.

He rubbed his heavy head and looked at Odin and Frigga, blinking: "Morning?"

Odin looked outside at the sky, unsure where the "morning" came from.

Frigga waved her hand, dispelling the golden light around Arthur, and helped him sit up before asking: "Child, how do you feel?"

Arthur blinked. "Child" was what she called him?

He was tempted to protest, but looking at Frigga's age, he had no real grounds to argue about being called a "child."

He scratched his head and smiled: "I'm fine, I'm fine... What are you doing?"

"It's good that you're awake."

Odin gave Arthur a deep look: "If you feel any discomfort, speak up."

"Hmm, I feel... a kind of transcendence from the inside out!"

Arthur made a serious but nonsensical remark.

Odin nodded with satisfaction: "It seems there really are no issues. This guy is still as cheeky as ever."

He then left with Frigga. Before leaving, Frigga seemed to want to ask something but ultimately refrained.

Once they disappeared from Arthur's room, Odin and Frigga appeared directly in the Golden Palace.

Frigga glanced at Odin and asked: "Are you really not going to ask him?"

"If he wanted to say something, he would have already done so," Odin replied. "Everyone has their own secrets. There's no need to dig too deeply."

…

…

Arthur stretched and, once he confirmed the two had left, summoned the Disassembler.

In the next moment, the newly upgraded Disassembler appeared in his consciousness.

The old wear and tear on the Disassembler were gone, and the Disassembler looked as if it had just come from the factory.

Its name had changed from Beginner Level 3 to Intermediate Level 1.

Aside from these changes, there were no visible differences on the outside, but internal functions had likely increased or changed, which would need to be discovered through practice.

"I remember getting a prompt that the Disassembler upgrade was successful…"

Arthur thought for a moment. While this important upgrade had indeed been nerve-wracking, it had saved him half a year's time, which was quite pleasing.

He then proceeded to select the Disassemble option for the armor and weapons.

This time, it went smoothly; all the weapons and armor were successfully fed into the Disassembler.

With the sound of gears grinding, Arthur opened the Disassemble space.

"Hey?"

"My small crystals?"

Arthur looked around in the Disassemble space and found that the previously numerous small crystals had dwindled to less than a hundred!

Even though the upgrade of the Disassembler consumed quite a few small colorless crystals, Arthur expected there to be at least seven or eight hundred remaining. 

After searching again and finding none, Arthur noticed a flash of light in his hand, revealing a transparent, colorless cube measuring ten centimeters on each side.

"This is the Colorless Crystal?"

Arthur blinked. The Disassemble space had lost six or seven hundred small colorless crystals but gained seven large colorless crystals!

"Is this a new feature after the upgrade?"

With a thought, he grasped the cube, and a surge of chaotic energy instantly overwhelmed him.

Arthur felt like he was standing under a waterfall, enduring the full force of the impact.

In an instant, the energy flowed through him, and he felt a new 'Star' within his body.

"One large colorless crystal is equivalent to one hundred small colorless crystals?"

Arthur was so excited he nearly cried a river.

Had he finally reached the day when he no longer had to crush crystals one by one?

With the Disassembler upgraded to the Intermediate Level, could colorless small crystals now be combined?

This was probably the best news ever!

Arthur happily crushed several large colorless crystals, feeling the seven newly appeared 'Stars' in his body and he nodded in satisfaction.

The colorless energy circulated through his body, flowing into every cell.

Mental energy remained firmly in place, occupying the pineal gland, keeping Arthur's mind in a constant state of alertness.

During this period, the spatial energy seemed increasingly overwhelmed, feeling like it was fighting a losing battle against superior numbers. But it still held firm in a corner of his body, looking stubborn and proud!

Arthur assessed his condition and suddenly thought that his current state resembled the protagonists from the novels he used to read.

In chaos yet remarkably effective.

"Indeed, I am a protagonist template kind of guy!"

After his tsukkomi moment, Arthur began to consider the Disassembler upgrade issue.

Although the benefits were clear, the process of upgrading left him somewhat uneasy.

"Such a coincidence!"

He let out a sigh: "The timing of the appearance of the Soul Crystal was almost perfect. I didn't use it because I sensed something, but if it hadn't appeared, the Disassembler couldn't have upgraded."

"And the conditions required for the Disassembler upgrade were only revealed after the Disassembler became unusable. If I had bad luck, I could easily end up stuck…"

He frowned: "While luck is a part of strength, one can't rely on it every time."

This feeling of not being able to control everything himself left him somewhat dissatisfied.

"And most importantly, how did the Soul Crystal appear? Could it be related to the so-called mixed Disassemble?"

Arthur thought about it but shook his head: "It shouldn't be so simple… Otherwise, wouldn't I have mixed Disassembled Asgard's armor and weapons? What I got was thirty Battle Souls, and speaking of which, I haven't absorbed those yet."
