Judging from Frigga's process of carving runes, the construction of this magic spell didn't seem easy.
It lasted for nearly half an hour.
However, what Shen Mu didn't know was that casting a spell and fully inscribing a spell are different.
The process is akin to the difference between building a computer and using a computer.
If it were merely to cast this spell, Frigga could accomplish it with ease.
When the last rune was carved, the ring immediately began to tremble uncontrollably.
Shen Mu, however, experienced a different sensation from the ring.
Following this feeling, he gently beckoned with a claw, and the ring instantly flew over and settled onto one of Shen Mu's claws.
Then, the ring quickly adapted to the size of Shen Mu's claw and began to shrink on its own.
And Shen Mu immediately understood how to use this ring.
"Shen Mu, using your dragon scales earlier was to make this ring more compatible with you, and within a certain range, it can obey its Master's call, just like mjolnir."
At this moment, Eitri began to explain to Shen Mu.
Upon hearing this, Shen Mu's mind stirred, and the ring on his claw immediately flew up.
"Shen Mu, you can try to activate the magic within it; before you comprehend magic energy yourself, you can temporarily use life energy instead."
"But you don't need to worry, the life energy required to activate the spell isn't too much; for your body, it shouldn't be a burden."
Frigga also said with a smile at this time.
After hearing this, Shen Mu opened his mind and allowed the ring to draw his life energy.
Although he could feel a trace of energy flowing out of his body, it was like scooping a ladle of Water from the ocean.
Instantly, a flash of light passed over the ring, and Shen Mu suddenly found that his perspective had changed.
Eitri, whom he previously had to look down at, now required him to look up, though Frigga still needed him to look down.
At this time, Shen Mu appeared to be only two meters tall, his body proportionally scaled down—this was the limit of how much he could shrink!
In terms of strength, Shen Mu felt as if he had been weakened by about one-fifth, which was not a significant impact.
Moreover, Shen Mu could feel that as long as he wished, he could remove the restrictions of this spell at any time.
"Thank you, Your Highness Frigga."
"Eitri, your dwarf clan's forging skills are indeed remarkable."
After confirming the effect of the magic ring, Shen Mu expressed his gratitude to them.
"Shen Mu, your dragon scales seem different from all the dragon scales I've seen in these past few millennia."
"They are even more difficult to melt than uru metal, and the quality of the forged product is even higher."
"Shen Mu, Nidavellir will always welcome you, and the dwarves will always be your friends."
At this moment, Eitri recalled that during the forging process, when Shen Mu's dragon scales and uru metal were placed together in the forging furnace, the uru metal melted first.
Furthermore, based on his many years of forging experience, the quality of this magic ring was significantly higher than he had anticipated.
There were no issues with the forging craftsmanship or process; the only possible explanation was that piece of dragon scale!
Over the years, he had forged various weapons and armors, and it wasn't as if he hadn't used scales, armor, or bones from living creatures as forging materials.
However, he had never encountered such a situation.
Therefore, his gaze towards Shen Mu at this moment was somewhat fervent.
Because for an excellent blacksmith, nothing is more exciting than discovering an unknown, superior forging material!
Frigga, upon hearing this, also couldn't help but fix her gaze on Shen Mu's dark and shiny scales.
As for Shen Mu, upon hearing his last sentence, he immediately understood his intention.
Although, given his current condition, even if all his scales were plucked, he would only need three to five days under the Sun for them all to grow back.
However, Shen Mu had no intention of letting himself be treated as a mobile material repository.
"Eitri, the rune carving is complete."
At this moment, Odin's voice suddenly reached their ears.
Immediately, their conversation ceased!
The moment he saw Odin, Shen Mu clearly felt that he appeared even older, and there was a hint of unhidden fatigue on his face.
But to maintain the dignity of the God-King, he still leaned on the Eternal Spear, refusing to sit down.
Frigga quickly stepped forward to support Odin.
Husband and wife for millennia, they exchanged a smile.
Odin saw Shen Mu's body, which had shrunk several times, and a satisfied smile also appeared on his lips.
Eitri did not bother with Odin, but instead walked directly to the mold of Stormbreaker.
As the caster of this mold, Eitri could most intuitively feel the changes within it.
With this current mold, all that was needed was to introduce the energy of a neutron star into the forging furnace, melt the uru metal, and pour it into the mold, and a powerful divine artifact could be forged!
However, this mold was for single use.
After all, it was Asgard's ultimate divine artifact; it was impossible for him to mass-produce them like a wholesaler.
Moreover, without the Odin Force, even if he could replicate it, it would not possess the true power of Stormbreaker.
"Your Majesty, the magical artifact is fully functional; I will seal it now."
Eitri responded to Odin after his inspection.
"Eitri, the rest is up to you!"
After Odin finished speaking, he wasted no more words and directly led Frigga and Shen Mu out.
Walking to the open space where they had arrived, he raised the Eternal Spear in his hand.
Instantly, the Bifrost Bridge descended from the sky, teleporting them back to Asgard.
"Shen Mu, you can first familiarize yourself with this magic ring, and also try to comprehend the magic energy within this World Tree branch."
Frigga at this time had no mind to continue teaching Shen Mu, because Odin might be about to enter the Odin Sleep again!
So, she directly handed that small section of the World Tree branch to Shen Mu.
"I understand, Your Highness Frigga."
Shen Mu naturally knew that Frigga needed to take care of Odin, so he didn't hesitate and directly agreed.
Watching Odin and the others depart, Shen Mu immediately reverted to his massive body and flew into the air.
The use of the magic ring was quite simple; it seemed that because Shen Mu's dragon scales were used as an auxiliary forging material, it allowed Shen Mu to control it more easily to a certain extent.
It was somewhat similar to the concept of a 'natal magic tool' in some Xianxia novels.
And the consumed life energy was fully replenished within a few breaths of basking in the Sun!
So, at this moment, another marvel appeared in the sky above Asgard.
Everyone noticed that the dragon's body was repeatedly growing larger and smaller.
"Thor, Shen Mu seems to be able to control his size!"
"Do you want to invite him to the gladiatorial arena? We all want to challenge a strong opponent who can defeat you."
At this moment, Volstagg suddenly approached Thor, who was exercising, and said.
Upon hearing this, Thor put down the equipment in his hand, then looked up at the sky.
