Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 43:

The Asgard Treasury is renowned for its stringent security measures, which include patrolling guards and a magically protected door that prevents ordinary people from gaining access.

Inside the treasure vault, there is a formidable Guardian known as the Destroyer, making it one of Asgard's most heavily fortified areas.

However, Loki's mischievous actions have diverted the guards' attention to the battle with the Frost Giants, Loki sent the Destroyer to Earth allowing Fang Mo to capture the Destroyer temporarily using a low-grade version of the Chibaku Tensei technique.

Now, let's talk about the magically protected door...

Just kidding.

Can a Minecraft player be stopped by a door?

When Fang Mo realized he couldn't open the door, he instructed Steve to dig a passage next to it.

Equipped with a Silk Touch Pickaxe, Fang Mo can remove and replace blocks without causing damage. He made a promise to Frigga not to destroy a single brick or tile in the Treasury.

Undoubtedly, Asgard is a paradise of mods for Fang Mo.

As soon as he stepped into the treasure vault, his mind was bombarded with system prompts.

[System Prompt: New mod features detected, granting research and download permissions.]

[System Prompt: New mod features detected, granting research and download permissions.]

[System Prompt: New mod features detected, granting research and download permissions.]

...

The incessant prompts echoed in Fang Mo's mind, urging him to take swift action.

Observing this scene, Fang Mo abandoned all pretenses of politeness.

After all, he had already obtained the admission ticket, so it was only fair for him to start exploring and experimenting.

"Let's see..."

Fang Mo leisurely strolled through the treasure vault, examining and picking up each treasure he encountered.

Some items were replicas, like the prototype of the Infinity Gauntlet adorned with a few embedded gemstones. It was believed that even in his youth, Odin had contemplated gathering the Infinity Stones.

Fang Mo speculated that when Odin acquired the Soul Stone, he understood the significance of love and peace through the sacrifice of his beloved, leading to his rebellion against Hela.

As a result, Odin concealed the Tesseract on Earth, specifically in Norway.

In any case, the treasure vault was a treasure trove of wonders. By touching various peculiar stones and bottles, Fang Mo unlocked approximately seventy-five percent of the mod permissions.

Finally, when he reached out and touched the Eternal Flame, the eagerly awaited prompt resounded.

[System Prompt: Acquired the 'Intense' attribute of the 'Eternal Flame'; you have obtained 25% of the download permissions for the new mod.]

[System Prompt: Acquired the attributes 'Frigid,' 'Intense,' 'Storm,' and 'Geomechanics'; you have obtained the download permission for a new mod.]

[System Prompt: Download of the Thermal Expansion mod initiated.]

"...Huh?"

Hearing the system's prompt, Fang Mo was taken aback. "Thermal Expansion? Are you sure?"

As a matter of fact, Fang Mo had encountered the Thermal Expansion mod before. He vaguely remembered it as a mod used for constructing machines, a so-called tech mod. However, Fang Mo had no interest in machine construction, so his knowledge in this area remained limited.

All he knew was that a group of influential industrialists jokingly referred to this mod as a preschool tech tool mod.

Fang Mo could never have imagined that in a place as magical as Asgard, he would encounter four artifacts in succession, only to end up with a module focused on technology.

He would have even settled for a module centered around plant magic!

"Well, at least I can get a lucky block out of it."

Taking a deep breath, Fang Mo resolved not to let this discarded module dampen his spirits. "There are so many incredible things here. I'll just touch a few more. Even if I end up with just a lucky block, it'll still be worth it."

With that determination in mind, Fang Mo continued to explore the other items in the treasury.

After touching various peculiar objects, Fang Mo successfully unlocked another module.

[System Prompt: You have mastered the attributes of 'Bloody Mary,' 'Nature's Blessing,' 'Thunderclap,' 'Fiery Flames,' 'Holy Shield,' 'Devil's Power,' and more. You have obtained download permission for a new module.]

[System Prompt: Download of the Tinker's Construct Expansion Module has begun.]

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing this system prompt, Fang Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to the perplexing tech-oriented module, at least he could understand the Tinker's Construct expansion module. After all, the Tinker's Construct Guide had provided clear explanations for everything.

As long as there was a comprehensive tutorial, Fang Mo could follow along, even if he wasn't particularly interested in crafting.

With the Tinker's Construct expansion module unlocked, Fang Mo had essentially concluded his exploration of the treasure vault. There wasn't much left to discover here, after all.

However, just as Fang Mo was about to leave, something suddenly crossed his mind.

"Hmm? Wait a minute..."

Instinctively, Fang Mo looked down at the ground, recalling the scene from Thor: Ragnarok where Hela shattered the ground. "There seems to be something down there, right?"

With that thought in mind, Fang Mo's attention shifted, and Steve produced a pickaxe, commencing the excavation.

Before long, they had dug a one-meter square hole, and Fang Mo leaped into it.

It must be said that this underground space was much larger than the treasure vault above, evoking the feeling of a tomb or some similar structure, whether constructed by Odin or Hela.

At its center, an abundance of Asgardian warriors' bones lay in silence, as if awaiting resurrection someday. Not far away, a colossal stone coffin housed the motionless form of Fenrir, a gigantic wolf towering like a two-story building, its empty eye sockets signifying its lifeless state.

Fang Mo's gaze immediately fell upon the colossal wolf.

It was unmistakably Fenrir, the wolf of Norse mythology.

Without hesitation, he approached Fenrir and reached out to touch it, hoping to trigger a new module.

Although Fenrir appeared intimidating, it was still a wolf at its core, and to Fang Mo's surprise, the sensation of touching it wasn't unpleasant. However, much to his disappointment, there didn't appear to be a new module associated with Fenrir.

Unwilling to give up, Fang Mo turned his attention to the bodies of the Asgardian soldiers.

Yet, despite his attempts to touch these corpses, he gained nothing.

Just as Fang Mo was about to abandon his efforts, he inadvertently made contact with the weapons carried by these soldiers, and in the next instant, a system prompt resounded.

[System Prompt: You have studied the structure of the 'Asgardian Spear.' You have obtained 12% of the download permissions for a new module.]
