Britain.
London.
Professor Erik was somewhat bewildered by the sudden visitor.
Rimuru's reputation on Earth was simply too great.
His various titles were countless.
Almost every media outlet gave Rimuru the highest praise.
He couldn't help but know!
Most importantly, Rimuru's whereabouts were elusive, even the most skilled paparazzi couldn't track him.
What he never expected was that Rimuru would actually come to visit him.
This made Professor Erik feel quite flattered!
Just as Professor Erik was feeling greatly flattered, Rimuru also for the first time seriously scrutinized this renowned Professor.
This guy appeared in 'Thor 1' as Jane Foster's mentor and had in-depth academic exchanges with Bruce Banner.
In 'Avengers 1', he transformed into a special expert invited by S.H.I.E.L.D., specifically for additional research on the Tesseract.
Then he was brainwashed by Loki and became a good accomplice.
In 'Thor 2', he even became neurotic, engaging in performance art.
But in the end, he and Jane completed the scientific device together, transforming into one of the saviors.
By 'Avengers 2', he even became the mentor who guided Thor into the Well of Truth.
One has to say, this guy's life was quite legendary.
Because of Rimuru, Erik did not reach the peak of his life as he did in the original work, but he knew a considerable amount.
"Well of Truth?"
Hearing Rimuru's intention, Professor Erik was instantly overjoyed, even a little teary-eyed.
Someone believed him, finally someone believed him!
In recent years, he had scoured ancient texts, and countless colleagues had regarded him as a fool, but now he had finally found a kindred spirit.
A scholar would die for his confidant!
Erik had no intention of holding back, immediately taking out all the materials he had collected, which even included children's books.
Erik's heart surged, and he began from the beginning, explaining to Rimuru the process of his discovery and verification of the Well of Truth without missing a single detail.
At this moment, Erik felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life, and his entire being was radiant!
From Professor Erik, Rimuru once again truly felt what it means to be "obsessed or nothing."
It's truly hard to imagine what kind of psychological preparation he went through, transforming directly from a scientific believer into the most prejudiced mythology expert.
No wonder he could become a guide on Thor's life path!
"My Lord Rimuru, according to my research, anyone who enters the Well of Truth will inevitably suffer a curse and will not come to a good end. Would you consider it more carefully?"
"Thank you, Professor, for the reminder. I will pay attention. Your research direction is correct, please continue to persevere!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Unlike in the original work, Professor Erik in this timeline had encountered setbacks everywhere.
Especially being brainwashed by Loki, it became an indelible stain on him.
When the Nine Realms were connected, he originally had a chance to turn things around, but because of Rimuru, the course of history changed again.
It can be said that Professor Erik in this timeline was incredibly down on his luck.
As the saying goes, successful people's farts smell like perfume.
What's more, it was someone of Rimuru's status.
Professor Erik felt an unimaginable encouragement.
This was more important than anything!
Long after Rimuru left, Professor Erik's heart was still surging.
His path was not wrong!
Northern Europe.
Based on Professor Erik's research and Ciel's judgment, Rimuru finally successfully found the location of the Well of Truth.
Seeing the bubbling spring, Rimuru immediately felt its extraordinary nature.
Erik was right, the spring water contained a curse.
Even if Thor were to soak in it, it would diminish His luck and bring Him bad fortune.
However, this curse was nothing more than a drizzle to Rimuru.
After setting up a barrier at the location of the spring, Rimuru directly entered the spring water.
In just an instant, Rimuru felt her thoughts become unprecedentedly active.
Ciel's feeling was even more pronounced!
It was like a light appearing in the darkness, illuminating the primordial rune in Ciel's soul one by one.
And at the same time, the Eternity God Spear that Odin gave her before His death also automatically flew out of her pocket Universe.
In just an instant, Rimuru suddenly felt her body upside down, a feeling of being hung upside down.
This made Rimuru feel very uncomfortable, but her thoughts suddenly fell into a state of semi-sleep and semi-wakefulness.
In the dark, it seemed that a mentor had arrived, explaining and expounding the primordial rune to her word by word.
Accompanying the explanation of that ethereal voice, sparks of wisdom continuously burst forth from Rimuru's soul.
In her eyes, the primordial rune was no longer just characters, but a type of Universe rule!
Crackle!
Just as Rimuru gained infinite insights, the Well of Truth she was soaking in boiled more and more exaggeratedly.
Later, one could even see thunder, fire, ice, reality, illusion...
Avengers Tower.
Experiment Center.
Pepper carried lunch and rang the doorbell again and again, but Tony still didn't notice at all.
This made Pepper Potts angry, annoyed, and amused, not knowing what to say.
Some time ago, Tony was obsessed with researching mechs, and now he was completely engrossed in researching spaceships.
Having fallen in love with such a man, it seemed she could never hope that Tony would be like an ordinary young couple with her.
But, this was also good!
Tony, who was engrossed in research, didn't suffer from anxiety much anymore.
This was excellent news!
"Time to eat!"
Pepper forcibly pulled Tony out of his research.
Tony then came back to his senses, smelled the fragrance of the hamburger, and his stomach immediately rumbled non-stop.
Tony was not polite, picked up a hamburger, and was about to eat it.
Pepper was speechless, slapping Tony's hand, "You have to wash your hands before eating, even kindergarten kids know that!"
Tony smiled, not annoyed, letting Pepper wipe his hands with a wet towel.
While eating the hamburger, Tony was beaming, "Pepper, you don't know, that deal with Rimuru was really worth it. The spaceship engine design is too perfect, and the spaceship power system is simply beyond imagination."
"Give me some more time, and I'll be able to perfectly reverse-engineer alien spaceship technology and combine it with my Mark. It will be amazing!"
Hearing Tony's intoxicated monologue, Pepper couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This guy, really, he's completely addicted!
However, he really is confident!
So handsome!
However, Tony Stark hadn't even finished one hamburger when Natasha rushed over.
"Sorry to interrupt your meal. Tony, you might want to see this first!"
Seeing Natasha's stern expression, Tony didn't even have time to wipe the oil from his hands before directly taking the material she handed over.
The moment he saw the material, Tony Stark also became serious!
