I'm Just An 'Ordinary' Human (Marvel Fanfic) Chapter 53: Volume 4 Chapter 24.2

"*ahem* Since you brought me here, can you be my tour guide?" I coughed and asked Amora who's still staring at me. I felt uncomfortable because of her stare. It was not unlike the stare of a hungry wolf at all. It's troublesome. That's why, I just ignored it.

"Of course, Darling~" Amora's lips formed a crescent as she smiled. She led the way deeper into the vault. "I guess we should start with the weakest."

Pointing at an eye-like artifact, Amora narrated. "This, the fabled Warlock's Eye, is a powerful, mystical weapon that uses a strong mind-controlling enchantment that very few can resist."

"Even powerful than your enchantment?"

"As much as I'd hate to admit it, it is indeed a little bit stronger than mine." Amora nodded.

It's not bad, but it lacks something. By comparison, I concluded that even this cannot compete with the cosmic being on the moon. That being was simply monstrous in terms of mental ability. I don't know if this will affect me, but it probably can't. I can shrug off Amora's enchantment with ease, so this should be easy as well.

Walking further, we stopped in front of another artifact.

"The Tuning Fork. n.o.body really knows what it does, but rumors say that it has the capability to summon the Unknown to Asgard."

"What's an Unknown?"

"An extrdimensional being that gains his powers from the fear of other lifeforms. It claims to have destroyed world after world, never had having been defeated. It was just rumored, but it was widely spread that it's hard to believe its authenticity."

Huh? Isn't that weaker? I can probably do that as well by using High-tier Demon summoning spell. I told her to move on as it was probably useless to me. I think that even the one that I gave to Mara, the Trident of Neptune, is better than this.

Amora led me to an artifact that looks like a stone monument with rune markings. She really did become a tour guide as she explained it with a slightly monotone voice. "This artifact is called the Tablet of Life and Time."

Amora said it presented a biochemical formula for a serum, the so-called Lifeline Formula, which could rejuvenate, heal, and grant its user the chance to reach the full evolutionary potential of its race turning the user into an immortal, near omnipotent.

The rune markings on the Tablet can be translated as: Those Who Sit Above in Shadow. That is a reference to "The G.o.ds of the G.o.ds", who, by rumors, are omnipotent and omniscient beings that draw their life energy released by the Ragnarok and caused the cycle of death and rebirth to continue.

I felt a sudden realization and decided to copy the formula. I could probably study this and create a better one should I fully learn Asgard's runes.

The next one was a blue casket that's emitting a strong frost aura.

"The Casket of Ancient Winters was a relic and weapon that once belonged to the Frost Giants of Jotunheim who used it to vanquish enemy armies and conquer enemy realms. It is capable of producing and projecting an infinite icy wind that can freeze whole landscapes and plunge an entire world into a new ice age. It was captured by the Einherjar of Asgard and sealed in Odin's vault."

Well, it's powerful but it's useless to me. It is probably just as powerful as a tier 10 frost spell. It was at this moment that I realized almost all of the items here are not really threatening to me. I wondered if Odin just took every item he could think of that could end Asgard without thinking much about it. Maybe he's just overthinking it.

The next item that Amora showed me, however, surprised me a little bit.

"A mystical, inextinguishable flame--"

"The Eternal Flame?" I interrupted her as I was initially excited as well.

Amora chuckled seeing me br.i.m.m.i.n.g with interest. "That's right. It contains the full power of the Fire Demon Surtur that was taken from him when Odin defeated him. By placing the Crown of Surtur into the Eternal flame, Surtur can be summoned and even resurrected should he already be killed and restored to full power, allowing him to unleash Ragnarok."

Amora extended her arms and a handful of Eternal flame stayed on her cupped hands.

"It was also just a rumor, but the Eternal Flame was said to have the power to resurrect deceased individuals as well. The most important thing is, the Eternal flame is self-replicating." Amora winked at me.

Looking at her sly smile, I understood it immediately. I became even more excited. I could probably find a use for it one way or another. Amora pa.s.sed me the Eternal flame in her hands, and I opened my sub-dimension to temporarily store it there.

"I saved the best for the last." Amora continued to lead the way. A while later, we stopped in front of a gauntlet artifact. It's a big golden gauntlet, with 6 colorful stones separately embedded on it. I instantly knew what it was.

"This is the Infinity Gauntlet. An artifact capable of harnessing the power of the six Infinity stones combined. It is made by the Dwarves in Nidavellir, a place where the strongest weapons in existence were created. I believe, that if you're hoping to find all the stones, you're gonna need a weapon like this." There's an unexplainable smile in Amora's face.

This Infinity Gauntlet is just what I need. I was thinking about extracting the stones from the Tesseract and Loki's scepter a long time ago, but I don't have anything that can be used as a medium to combine them in a single artifact. First of all, I always knew that the stones complement each other. That's why, extracting them was necessary.

The Tesseract and Loki's scepter also cannot bring out the full power of the stones. I'm sure of it. When I studied them, I found out that they can only provide a small fraction of what the stones can do.

Secondly, even if I do extract the stones and use them to their full capabilities, I don't think that I can stand the gamma radiation coming from it. The medium is what keeps the radiation from reaching me, that's why I can control the Tesseract without harm. However, if I do the same while barehanded, I won't come out unscathed.

In short, if I can extract them and put it on another artifact like this gauntlet... Once I collected them all, I would be G.o.d.

Just as I was racking my brain to figure out how to possibly steal this thing, Amora spoke again.

"Darling, I forgot to tell you. This is only a replica. Although I don't know the reason why, Odin still chose to store it here despite being a fake."

What she said immediately poured cold water on my head. Well, isn't that unfortunate? However, if this gauntlet right here is fake, I just have to go to its creator, right?

"Where is this Nidavellir you're talking about?" I asked her.

"Unfortunately, even I don't know the location of Nidavellir." Amora apologetically smiled. Looking at her expression, I confirmed that she wasn't lying.

'Sigh. I knew it wouldn't be that easy.'
