Rimuru hadn't expected that Hawkeye had actually found some clues about her helping him 'rise to fame' back then.
Admitting it was impossible, forever impossible!
However, Hawkeye had no intention of digging deeper anyway.
The matter was thus lightly brushed aside!
The dinner was extraordinarily lavish, with Tony's private chef at the helm. A dazzling array of delicacies was continuously brought to the table, and everyone ate to their heart's content.
Rimuru also didn't hold back, bringing out some good things from the Nine Realms.
Seeing the glistening fish on the jade plate, sparkling under the lights, everyone's spirits immediately lifted.
Good food emphasizes color, aroma, and taste. Although they hadn't tasted it yet, they were already drawn to the fish's crystal-clear beauty, without a hint of impurity.
As for the fragrance it emitted, it intoxicated everyone even more.
"Aren't you going to introduce it?"
"Of course!"
Rimuru immediately began to introduce it to everyone.
"This is the Ice Soul Fish, originally from Jotunheim. It's crystal clear throughout, melts in your mouth, has a delightful texture, and an extremely pure taste. Most importantly, as soon as it enters your mouth, it transforms into wisps of warm current, flowing through your entire body."
"In Jotunheim, the Ice Soul Fish has always been a royal tribute. Its main purpose is to help the Giant race purify their divine power and remove impurities from their bodies."
Royal tribute, purifying divine power, removing impurities?
Hearing Rimuru's introduction, everyone became even more interested.
Especially the women, their beautiful eyes gleamed.
Being able to remove impurities from the body means becoming more beautiful. Even if the taste was like a Devil Fruit, they could endure it.
What's more, the Ice Soul Fish was also an exquisite delicacy, making its value even higher.
The Ice Soul Fish was quickly distributed to everyone's plates. In an instant, everyone was conquered by the exquisite taste of the Ice Soul Fish.
Everyone was filled with the joy and satisfaction brought by the exquisite delicacy!
And this was just the beginning!
"This is the Fire Wing Dragon's meat, originally from Muspelheim. It's spicy upon entry, like a burning fire, but after the spiciness, there's a rich fragrance, very unique."
After just finishing the Ice Soul Fish, everyone tasted the Fire Wing Dragon's meat, truly experiencing what it means to have a real 'ice and fire' sensation.
For a moment, everyone was exhilarated, stimulated beyond belief.
Later, Rimuru successively brought out honey and milk originally from Vanaheim, personally cultivated by the goddess Beila;
Hundred Flower Nectar, originally from the Light Elves' kingdom, which only the Elf Queen was qualified to enjoy, and Flame Flower Dew, containing a massive amount of life essence;
And also Luminous Mushrooms and Moonlight Fruits, originally from Svartalfheim.
As Rimuru brought out more and more good things, everyone became increasingly shocked.
They realized that Rimuru had truly 'eaten through the Nine Realms'!
Achieving this step was not easy.
They had been to Asgard and Jotunheim before, and had a basic understanding of the conditions in the various realms of the Nine Realms.
The Nine Realms were actually nine Planets. Except for Asgard, which had the Bifrost Bridge, achieving cross-realm travel was not easy.
Even though Odin conquered the Nine Realms, there were still significant barriers between them.
Basically, they all lived their own lives, never interacting, and trade was even more pitifully scarce.
Especially Muspelheim and Svartalfheim, those were the most difficult ones to deal with.
It would probably not be easy to even enter their realms, let alone obtain the exquisite delicacies of their respective realms.
The Ice Soul Fish was a royal tribute in Jotunheim; the Flame Flower Dew and Hundred Flower Nectar were only enjoyed by the Elf Queen; as for the Fire Wing Dragon, it was unknown if it was a royal tribute, but with the word 'Dragon' in its name, it must not be simple.
Everyone here had a discerning mind. Through a few dishes, they saw too much, too much.
Rimuru, after Odin, must have become the new ruler of the Nine Realms!
Everyone was extremely shocked. How long had it been? Their former companion had actually reached this point.
Looking at Rimuru in her black dress, everyone's faces were filled with disbelief.
Her existence was simply a miracle!
Fortunately, she first appeared on Earth, had a special affection for Earth, and had a good relationship with them. Otherwise, Earth might have gone from a nominal younger brother to a true vassal state.
Thankfully, Rimuru was not an enemy of Earth!
After understanding everything, the smiles on everyone's faces became more natural.
They clinked glasses, joked, and laughed non-stop. Soon, everyone was tipsy, and the atmosphere of the banquet became even more lively.
When they woke up the next day, everyone's faces showed expressions of extreme shock.
They were truly too surprised!
Natasha and the other women screamed repeatedly, cheering with their hands cupping their faces.
They were truly thrilled! After one meal last night, their skin became smooth, delicate, and fair, as if they had become twenty years younger.
Which woman could refuse the temptation of youth and beauty?
Beauty comes at a price. Just think about the money every woman spends on various cosmetics.
But what they never expected was that just by eating one meal, they became so much younger and more beautiful.
Ah ah ah ah ah!
The few of them were so excited they almost jumped up.
As for the men, they were also greatly invigorated.
Although their changes were not as exaggerated as the women's, everyone felt an almost inexhaustible power within their bodies.
All the old injuries accumulated from battles had disappeared.
Each person felt as if they had shed dozens of pounds of shackles, becoming as light as a swallow.
Tony, in particular, his changes were even more obvious.
Although he was the famous Iron Man, time spares no one. By his actual age, he was already middle-aged.
When one reaches middle age, one has no choice but to steep goji berries in a thermos!
Although Tony Stark never gave up, facing more and more challenges, he also felt somewhat powerless.
But now, he felt as if he had become a twenty-something young man again.
He felt like he could party like crazy again!
As for Hawkeye, he also felt an unprecedented change at this moment.
Among all the superhero, he was already a father of three children, and his mindset was no longer young.
Not to mention the guilt he endured after being controlled by Loki during the Battle of New York...
But now, Hawkeye felt as if he had come back to life!
Facing the unknown challenges and enemies of the Universe, he could fight for another twenty years!
Bruce Banner was also exhilarated, his heart filled with joy.
Captain America saw all the changes in The Avengers, and he couldn't help but reveal a comforting smile.
Recently, although none of The Avengers had any extreme expressions.
Everyone could actually feel their suppression!
Especially Tony, his behavior was too abnormal. Even in the laboratory, he liked to wear his armor.
He was even more tirelessly dedicated to the 'Earth Defense System', almost to the point of obsession.
Natasha once said that this was a sign of a lack of security, and Tony was very likely suffering from anxiety.
Avengers Tower hadn't been filled with laughter and joy like this for who knows how long.
Feeling that relaxed ease, Natasha couldn't help but reveal a comfortable smile.
She looked at Rimuru, her beautiful eyes becoming even more gentle.
It was truly incredible. As soon as Rimuru arrived, the entire Avengers seemed to have found their backbone again.
Tony couldn't do this, nor could Captain America!
How wonderful!
