Because of Rimuru, this little butterfly, many changes had occurred in the Marvel Universe.
However, personality determines destiny, and many things still proceeded along their original tracks.
Tony Stark, with his unique taste, was as flamboyant as ever, building a towering skyscraper in New York and naming it after himself.
Over the past three years, the relationship between Tony and Pepper had progressed by leaps and bounds, almost like a real married couple.
With the building's completion, the two were celebrating with champagne.
Jarvis said, "Sir, your call. My program has been modified."
Tony, currently flirting with Pepper, didn't care. He picked up two transparent phones, cheekily telling the caller to schedule another time, claiming it was a virtual projection.
But Coulson, undercover at Stark Industries under the alias Phil, already knew Tony Stark's personality inside and out.
Before Tony could finish his virtual projection game, Coulson burst through the door.
After a moment of tsundere resistance, Tony finally gave in under the combined assault of Pepper and Coulson.
Upon hearing Coulson's purpose, Tony was dumbfounded. "The Avengers are assembling to observe a divine war?"
"Yes!"
Coulson immediately handed Tony a tablet containing information about the Nine Realms and Asgard.
After studying it for a long time, Tony looked displeased.
"That Rimuru… she's having such fun and didn't invite me sooner? I even considered her a good friend!"
Coulson couldn't help but smile. With Tony on the team, he would surely see things no other Earthling could!
Mexico.
Using a little girl as a lure, Bruce Banner had been drawn to the outskirts.
Natasha "alone" negotiated with him. Banner was initially resistant, but when he learned it concerned Earth's safety and required his strength, he joined the plan without hesitation.
Then Banner discovered that Natasha, who had sincerely claimed she was "alone," was secretly using a radio to inform S.H.I.E.L.D. elites outside to retreat.
Between people, there really is no trust to be had!
A U.S. Military Base.
Colonel Rhodes, now equipped with the Iron Patriot armor and recently promoted, also received an invitation from S.H.I.E.L.D.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s coordination with the military had been surprisingly smooth.
As S.H.I.E.L.D. agents busied themselves inviting the Avengers, Rimuru, who had been sleeping for three days, finally woke.
The energy she had consumed to cast a Divine Word on the hammer was unprecedented. Fortunately, it caused no side effects.
Rimuru still had the Storm Dragon within her, the constantly replenishing power of the Crimson Universe, and the might of Vishanti. She truly lacked nothing in terms of magicules.
Even this failed attempt at showing off had its benefits—it gave her a clearer understanding of the Skyfather realm.
Facing the upcoming battle in Asgard, Rimuru became more cautious. Of course, she was also excited!
The souls of the Frost Giants, Fire Giants, and Vanir—these "gods and demons"—were far stronger than human souls.
By harvesting these souls after evolving into an Awakened Demon Lord, Rimuru would grow immensely stronger.
"Rimuru, you're finally awake!"
Nick Fury rushed over immediately upon learning she had woken.
Ever since discovering Asgardians truly existed, his mood had fluctuated, but after speaking with Rimuru, he felt more confident.
With a strong being like Rimuru stationed on Earth, he could face threats more assuredly.
Didn't the Crown Prince of Asgard treat Rimuru with utmost respect?
Rimuru nodded and asked, "How is the Avengers' assembly going?"
Nick Fury smiled. "They're all assembled, just waiting for you. When do we depart?"
Rimuru was surprised. "That fast? Who's all there?"
Nick Fury listed, "Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, James Rhodes, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton, Steve Rogers, and some agents and military personnel."
Rimuru's eyes lit up. "You've already rescued Captain America from the North Pole? When did that happen?"
Nick Fury, accustomed to Rimuru's "precognition," replied, "About three weeks ago."
Rimuru nodded. "Three weeks is enough for Captain America to understand modern society. With him there, this war might go much smoother."
Nick Fury was surprised. Even at the peak of human potential, Captain America was still just a human. How could he compare to Rimuru?
Rimuru shook her head. "This war is a battle of gods and demons. Even the most ordinary Asgardian soldier is stronger than S.H.I.E.L.D.'s most elite agent. If I'm taking them, I must ensure their safety first. Preparations are needed."
Nick Fury's eyes lit up. He was extremely satisfied with her words.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Materials. A lot of materials. One complete Kun-style fighter jet, parts for two more, Hawkeye's arrows to enchant, a few sets of S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms for analysis."
Nick Fury gritted his teeth. "Alright!"
The Kun-style fighter jet was one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s trump cards, but now he agreed without hesitation. Humanity's first venture into advanced extraterrestrial civilizations warranted no shortage of preparation.
After dismissing Nick Fury, Rimuru teleported directly to her laboratory in the Long Island villa.
Honestly, she had considered requesting a mushroom bomb but decided against it—such things were too taboo.
Laboratory.
Rimuru took out the Wind God again, this time performing a true "demon" modification.
She applied countless runic symbols, greatly enhancing anti-magic resistance.
After a day and a night of work, the new Wind God—a perfect fusion of magic and technology—stood before her.
Rimuru felt a long-lost joy and excitement.
This mech represented the highest embodiment of her current wisdom.
After completion, Rimuru devoured the mech and replicated four more sets.
When Rimuru returned to S.H.I.E.L.D., she overheard Tony and Captain America exchanging insults.
After a while, she couldn't help laughing. Tony's mouth, when insulting people, was simply exaggerated beyond measure.
In just a short time, almost every Avenger received a nickname from Tony—none of which they wanted.
When Rimuru emerged from the teleportation gate, except for Tony and a few agents, the other Avengers looked as if they had seen a ghost.
This little girl—the legendary strongest superhero, Blue Angel?
Seeing is believing; it was truly shocking.
Captain America, recently awakened, was even a little slow to grasp the situation. On the battlefield, they were supposed to take orders from a little girl? That seemed too irresponsible.
Steve Rogers realized for the first time that the so-called Avengers were even more unreliable than this mission suggested.
War Machine, Colonel Rhodes, also felt confused. She was the Blue Angel? What a joke.
