Ding... Ding...
White flames mixed with ether particles emitted from the Reality Stone summoned by Sebastian burned the fragments of Mjolnir intensely. Wisps of electricity flowed through the broken pieces. Every time the half-melted pieces of Mjolnir were pieced together carefully, arcs of electricity connected them automatically. The lightning left traces on the surface that resembled electric current patterns.
Taking out a large piece of vibranium from his storage, along with a small piece of mithril and various other rare metals, Sebastian melted them with the white flames. He added them to Mjolnir's molten form. Waving his wand continuously in precise patterns, the various materials flew around him in a controlled orbit. They unleashed a powerful magical force that made Bill tremble from the sheer power.
With a focused thought, the guardian silver crow Patronus long summoned by Sebastian opened its beak wide. It blew another stream of white light particles directly at Mjolnir. This maintained the temperature at the perfect level for forging.
At this moment in time, Sebastian had been repairing Mjolnir for fifteen hours straight without rest.
One thing that he has to mention is that while repairing the hammer, he found a will hidden within it.
But Sebastian remain unfazed by his decision to reforge it, so he ruthlessly killed it.
The new Mjolnir had now been preliminarily repaired to a functional state. Its appearance had undergone significant changes from the original.
The original cube-shaped hammer head, now repaired and magically enhanced through Sebastian's work, had doubled in size compared to before. It was covered in tiny electrical current lines across its surface. A closer look would reveal that these lines were actually composed of countless tiny runes carved into the metal. Perhaps due to the added materials Sebastian incorporated, or perhaps because Sebastian had added gravitational magic into its core, the new Mjolnir appeared jet black in color. Meanwhile the tiny electrical current lines on its surface appeared silvery-white in contrast. This gave it the appearance of being about to crackle with energy at any moment.
As for its overall appearance, Sebastian still retained its cube-like hammer shape. But if you did not mention it was a modification of Thor's original hammer, no one would have thought it was Mjolnir at all.
The hammer's head had become much larger in size. So the original handle could no longer be used with it properly.
Sebastian took some branches from the golden apple tree that had been given to him as a gift by Odin himself. He also took a small branch from the World Tree Yggdrasil. Using ancient Asgardian magic techniques, these magical branches intertwined together and grew. They formed a dark gold spiral handle that gradually merged with the hammer head. Eventually they became one single piece.
The handle was about a meter and a half long in length. The head was twice as large as before in dimensions. The proportions fit perfectly together. Sebastian was incredibly pleased with his craftsmanship and work.
Bang!
Sebastian placed the newly forged Mjolnir on the ground with a heavy thud. He gathered up the unused materials carefully. He extinguished the white flames. He dismissed his Patronus back into magical energy. He gathered his strength back into himself. Then he turned to face Bill.
"Bill, give it a try and see how it feels. Since you want to slay Corvus Glaive in battle, your weapon cannot be much inferior to his weapon. This hammer is forged from the shattered fragments of Mjolnir. It is imbued with the power of thunder and lightning. Of course, I have also imbued it with gravitational powers from my own magic. I think it should suit you perfectly for combat."
As Bill watched Sebastian repair Mjolnir over these many hours, he knew Sebastian was crafting an extremely powerful weapon with great care. But he had not imagined it was meant for him to wield. He was a towering figure in stature. He possessed extraordinary strength in his body. With years of gladiator experience and combat prowess at the top level of the universe, this weapon was perfectly suited to him in every way.
"This, this is truly precious beyond measure. I..."
"As you serve under me as my warrior, you naturally need a weapon that suits you properly. You cannot fight Thanos and his forces without a weapon that suits your fighting style. If you still find it too precious to accept, then I will loan it to you temporarily. You can return it to me when you are ready to leave my service eventually."
Bill of course was very fond of this weapon immediately. Hearing Sebastian's words and reasoning, he took a deep breath to calm himself. He nodded gratefully to Sebastian. Then he stepped forward confidently and grasped the hammer's handle!
Boom!
The moment Bill grasped the hammer firmly, a blinding bolt of lightning erupted from his entire body. Invisible gravitational fields radiated outward from the hammer in waves.
In an instant, the immense power contained within the hammer formed an energy armor around Bill's body. It completely enveloped him in protective lightning.
As Bill raised the hammer up high, the silver electrical current patterns on the jet-black hammer head grew brighter and brighter. His mind gradually began to comprehend the hammer's various functions and abilities instinctively.
Like the original Thor's hammer Mjolnir, this new version also granted Bill the ability to fly through the air and harness lightning at will. It could also be instantly summoned back to his hand once it was released or thrown. However, because Sebastian had added the power of gravity into its enchantments, this hammer possessed new abilities beyond the original.
Beyond simply harnessing gravity for flight, he could harness its power to enhance the hammer's striking power while swinging it in combat. He could also use the gravitational fields to enhance his defenses against attacks. He could deflect incoming attacks away from himself and use many more applications.
Watching Bill's power gradually recede back into normal levels, Sebastian smiled with satisfaction. He said to Bill. "Give this hammer a proper name."
"Black Thunder! Let us call this hammer Black Thunder!"
"That is a good name for it! With Black Thunder in your hands, we will not be powerless against the Black Order anymore. Even against Thanos himself, I think we can face him head-on in battle."
"Thank you, Principal! I will serve you well!"
At that moment, the voices of the Nova Corps members rang out from outside the room.
When Bill wielded the Black Thunder Hammer for the first time, the power display was quite impressive and dramatic. This naturally attracted the attention of the Nova Corps guards. Especially since the hammer's power level was so high and measurable, the Nova Corps naturally wanted to investigate what was happening.
The door opened automatically. Bill and Sebastian emerged from the room together. Seeing the Nova Corps guards waiting outside with concern, Sebastian addressed them directly and politely. "Excuse me, we made a bit of noise while crafting the weapon just now. Do not worry about it. It is finished now and there will not be any more problems or disturbances."
Upon hearing Sebastian's words and explanation, the Nova Corps members took a careful look at the Black Thunder Hammer in Bill's large hand. While they were somewhat surprised by its unique appearance and design, they were not particularly impressed by such a primitive melee weapon. They nodded briefly in acknowledgment and left without further comment or questions.
Coincidentally at that same moment, Peter and the others arrived at the location. Seeing the hammer in Bill's hands, Gamora and Yondu who were standing to Peter's left and right respectively, changed their facial expressions immediately. Gamora had followed Thanos since her childhood as his adopted daughter. Meanwhile Yondu had extensive experience among the Ravagers and space pirates. They could immediately recognize the Black Thunder Hammer's extraordinary power level just from looking at it.
At this moment, Sebastian saw Gamora who had arrived with Peter and the other Guardians. He suddenly thought of something important. He immediately said to Gamora directly. "Gamora, if it is possible, I wonder if you would be able to talk to me privately. I have something important to ask you about the Infinity Stones."
Upon hearing Sebastian's last words about the Infinity Stones, Gamora's expression changed immediately to one of alarm. She looked at Sebastian with an unreadable expression on her face. She nodded slowly in agreement. Regardless of Peter's objections and concerns, she immediately came over to Sebastian's side.
