Nidavellir

James teleported few of the Asgardian warriors out of danger one by one and helped Thor in killing the enemy people. As the Asgardians were mixed with the enemies, he was not able to use the Planetary Devastation of the Deva Path ability.

Finally all of the enemies were dead who were actually called stone people from the information James obtained through Thor.

After gathering and saving the injured Asgardians we drifted back on our route to

Nidavellir.

"You have become stronger," Thor remarked.

"Compared to you, I am still not that strong enough," James replied.

"That is true," Thor laughed proudly. "But I think that, the day when you will become as strong as me is not far off," Thor further continued.

James smiled at Thor's confidence in him and hoped that he would become strong enough before Thanos goes on a rampage.

"You know before coming to your apartment, I met with Jane first," Thor said.

"So?" James asked.

"She told me that she had went for a check up as per your suggestion and found out that she had Stage 0 Cancer. Thank you, if not for you she would have remained in the dark all the time and may have died in the near future," At the very end Thor's voice had become so low, I was barely able to hear it.

"What did the Doctor say?" James questioned.

"They said that total recovery is possible as it was discovered at a very early stage. Just that Jane has to spend few months in the hospital. There is no danger to her life," Thor replied.

"Thats good news then, try to visit her while she is in the hospital," James smiled.

"Of course, I am going back to Midgard with you after getting your weapon," Thor said. "Thank you James," He further continued seriously after a short pause.

"Come on man, is this how you treat a friend saying thanks and all. You are treating me like a total stranger," James playfully punched Thor's chest.

"Friends," Thor's eyes gleamed," Of course we are friends," He repeated and laughed happily.

James was not lying when he called Thor as his friend. Watching movies of Thor, he really like his character and admired his courage. And seeing how he was in person James really liked having Thor as his friend.

"Bye the way can you show me your weapon?" James asked Thor.

"You won't be able to lift it," Thor said but still brought the hammer forward and kept it on a compartment present in the spaceship.

James walked towards the compartment and grabbed the handle of the hammer for few seconds.

'I know, I won't be able to lift the hammer, but it never hurts to try,' James thought and tried to pick up the hammer.

"Gasp," Thor was shocked. "How did you do that?" Thor was utterly surprised.

"If you are asking me, who should I ask?" Even James was shocked at this unprecedented situation.

"What does this mean?" James asked trying to calm down looking at the hammer in his hand which was crackling with lightning.

"I don't know, it means you are worthy or something," Thor replied with a sad tone not focusing on James's question.

'I don't think so, I am not an hero who would save the world and have no interest in doing so either. I am not some noble guy who would save strangers at the expense of my life. Then how I am considered to be worthy,' James sighed and stopped thinking about such things.

"Sorry buddy, I just wanted to see your hammer out of curiosity and had no idea that such things would happen," James said in an apologetical tone to Thor.

James had seen how upset Thor had gotten so he apologized and threw the hammer back to Thor

James tried to transform like what Jane had done in Thor Love and Thunder, but he was not able to obtain the powers from the hammer at all. He could just use the hammer to fight and control a bit of lightning and nothing else. And this was only possible when he was holding the hammer.

"I know you don't mean any harm, otherwise I wouldn't have given you the hammer in the first place," Thor caught the hammer and said while sulking,"How about this, when my new weapon is forged, I would also let you use it whenever you want," James tried to cheer him up.

"Great," Thor jumped up excitedly clapped James's shoulder.

James said nothing but just laughed at Thor's antics.

"What kind of weapon do you want to forge?" Thor asked, his gloomy mood to be seen nowhere.

"I can choose the type of weapon?" James asked a bit surprised.

"Of course you can, but decide what kind of weapon you want before we reach there," Thor advised.

James nodded his head and started thinking about the kind of weapon he wanted to forge. This weapon would remain by his side till his death and he definitely didn't want to choose carelessly.

'What should I choose? What should I choose?' James was in a bit of dilemma.

The first type of weapon that came to his mind was a Sword. As he had read a lot of cultivation novels and seen how powerful sword cultivators were, also visualising how cool they looked while fighting, based on what was written in the novel, his preference was generally more towards the sword.

But still he had no idea on how to use a sword, neither did he had any good sword techniques. However such a reasoning could be applied to all types of weapons.

'What about a spear or what if I forge the Stormbreaker, nah that doesn't feel right. I want a weapon unique to me and even though Stormbreaker is a nice weapon, still it isn't suitable for me,' James was constantly thinking about the type of weapon that would be up to his liking.

"We are here," Thor's voice sounded breaking James's line of thoughts.

They had finally reached their destination and James too had came to a conclusion on the type of weapon to be forged.
