“Sigh…”
When Odin turned his gaze towards Thor, he discovered that his good-for-nothing son was flirting with Jane Foster as if nothing had happened.
A hint of weariness and disappointment couldn't help but appear in Odin's eyes.
"My foolish son, when will you truly grow up and succeed me as the 'King' of 'Asgard'?"
In fact, as early as three years ago, Odin deliberately exiled the reckless Thor to Earth and stripped him of his divine power, all to temper his will and character, so that he could pass the throne to Thor as soon as possible.
But who would have thought that this foolish son of his, whose brain was full of muscles, would not only indulge in fighting all day long but also fall in love with an ordinary woman from the lower realm?
When Odin learned of this, he was almost so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.
Is he truly beyond redemption?
Thus… the time for Thor's succession had to be delayed again and again!
One of the reasons why Odin was so anxious to abdicate to Thor was that he had foreseen the coming of 'Ragnarok' through his divine power.
In that great disaster, which would be enough to destroy all of 'Asgard', the only one who could save everyone from the 'Twilight Sword' of the 'Fire Demon' Surtur was his son Thor!
And another little-known reason was related to Odin's eldest daughter, 'Goddess of Death' Hela.
Due to some historical issues of "fatherly love and filial piety."
Hela, who had fought for Odin in the 'Nine Realms' and made great achievements, was stripped of her divine power by her father, who was eager to "whitewash" himself, and exiled to the "Land of the Dead", 'Hel'.
However, because Hela could draw infinite power from 'Asgard', even Odin had to pay a corresponding price to successfully seal her divine power.
In the end, Odin chose to complete the seal with his own life… The price was that he could no longer use all of his divine power at will, and the seal would be gradually解除 as his life was consumed!
(Note: In 'Thor: Ragnarok', Odin admitted frankly when entrusting his orphans that his life was the only thing that could restrain Hela.)
That was why he was so eager to have Thor ascend to the throne, gain the recognition and support of 'Asgard', and thus replace Hela and receive the power blessing of 'Asgard'!
But unfortunately, this foolish son had never understood this.
Looking at the departing figures of Thor and Jane Foster, Odin sighed helplessly:
"Alas, it seems that my retirement plan can only be postponed indefinitely!"
…
"Wait a minute, I've only been away from Earth for a few months, and so many fun things have happened there?"
In the gardens of 'Asgard', after hearing Jane Foster recount the "major events" that had occurred on Earth in recent months, Thor couldn't help but reveal an expression of "missing out."
"Fun?" Jane Foster frowned and corrected:
"'San Francisco' and the 'Philippines' have been completely reduced to dead zones under the attack of Kaiju… The 'Seven Cities Crisis' a few days ago has displaced millions of innocent civilians. This is clearly not fun at all!"
"Sorry, Jane, I mean… if I had been there at the time, I definitely wouldn't have let that happen."
Thor patted his chest and promised, "As the future successor to the divine throne of 'Asgard', the people of the 'Nine Realms' theoretically all belong to my subjects, so protecting them is also one of my responsibilities."
Hearing this, Jane Foster's expression softened slightly, and she娇嗔 said, "The 'Nine Realms' are so big, how can you guard them all by yourself…"
"But fortunately, Earth also has its own guardians, like Ape-God, Homelander, and Spider-Woman. They are all very powerful."
"Ape-God… why have I never heard of this god before?"
Thor asked curiously, "Jane, why didn't you include '.' and the 'Avengers'? They are also very reliable."
Who would have thought that Jane Foster would reply with a look of disdain, "Hehe, if you knew what '.' has been doing recently, I'm afraid you would regret cooperating with them in the first place."
"As for the 'Avengers', the other members seem to have been defeated miserably in the 'Seven Cities Crisis'…"
Just as Thor was about to ask for specific details with a surprised expression, Jane Foster suddenly cupped his cheeks with both hands and said with loving eyes:
"Compared to those unimportant things, I actually want to know more about how you knew I was in trouble at the time?"
"Oh, this?" Thor grinned, revealing a pure and silly smile, "It's all thanks to Heimdall. When he couldn't see your figure on Earth, he immediately informed me of the news."
"I realized that your disappearance might be related to the upcoming 'Celestial Convergence' event…"
Then, under Jane Foster's curious and puzzled gaze, he continued to explain:
"Legend has it that every five thousand years, the nine realms on the 'World Tree' will align in a line, which we call 'Celestial Convergence'!"
"During this period, the boundaries between the various realms will become blurred… and the time you disappeared may have accidentally entered a certain blur point."
"But fortunately, the point didn't close before you left."
"Otherwise, once the various realms deviate from the converging line, these connected space points will be interrupted, and you will be trapped there forever."
"I like this way of explaining it!" Deeply shocked, Jane Foster first took the initiative to lean over and kiss him, and then asked the real question in her heart.
"If that substance called 'Aether' remains in my body and can't be removed, what will happen to me?"
The smile on Thor's face couldn't help but freeze. Even his own father was helpless, so how could this reckless man who only knew how to fight solve it?
In the end, he could only give a vague comfort:
"Jane, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to save you… My father is the King of Gods, but he is not omniscient."
And just as the two were flirting.
In the dungeon prison below 'Asgard', the dark elf warrior Algrim, disguised as a prisoner, directly dug out the 'Dark Matter Energy Stone' that had been hidden in his abdominal wound in advance.
That was a special energy substance created using fragments of the 'Aether'.
By burning life, it can allow the 'Dark Elves' to instantly transform into powerful 'Cursed Warriors' with doubled strength, defense, and regeneration ability.
And Algrim is undoubtedly the tallest and strongest of the 'Dark Elves'!
Buzz—
When he crushed the 'Dark Matter Energy Stone', boundless energy instantly filled his body.
Algrim's whole body glowed with a scorching red light like lava.
After being改造 by 'Dark Matter', his body began to expand rapidly, and in the visible speed directly from about two meters, soared to nearly three meters high.
And a thick layer of scales and countless sharp bone spurs grew on his body.
"Damn, what's going on?"
The prisoners in the same cell were directly frightened when they saw this strange scene, and they beat the magic defense cover, calling for help from the guards outside.
Only.
When the Asgardian guards arrived, Algrim, who had transformed into a 'Cursed Warrior', had already broken the magic defense cover around the prison with brute force.
Bang bang—
Algrim didn't dodge or evade, allowing the long swords in the hands of the two Asgardian guards to chop at his body.
But these enchanted swords, which were enough to cut through steel, could not break through the thick scales on Algrim's body at all.
Instead, he grabbed them by the neck and lifted them into the air, one in each hand.
"Wastes of 'Asgard', this is the beginning of revenge…"
As he spoke, a scorching red light appeared on Algrim's palm, and the lifeforce of the two Asgardian guards began to drain rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they were sucked into two mummies.
Bang bang bang—
Next, Algrim punched and smashed all the magic defense covers outside the other cells, allowing the prisoners inside to rush out and fight with the Asgardian guards who had come to support them.
However, in this process, he only missed Loki, who was being held alone.
This was not because he felt a threat from Loki.
On the contrary.
After carefully looking at the other party, Algrim chose to turn around and leave.
Because such a weakling, even if released, would not be able to play a single bit of role!
"Hey, whatever you want to do, you missed the best helper."
Looking at Algrim, who was preparing to leave in the chaos, Loki complained with a look of displeasure.
And just as the dungeon prison fell into chaos, and everyone's attention was focused there.
In the sky above 'Asgard', a "cross-shaped" spaceship with stealth capabilities had successfully deceived the perception of 'Heimdall, the Gatekeeper God' with the "eyes to observe all things in the 'Nine Realms'", and landed silently.
The latest novels are first released on Liǔ Jiǔ Shū Bā!
It was the last remaining mothership of the 'Dark Elves'.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Dozens of blade-shaped warships flew out of the "cross mothership", and then掠 towards the magnificent '仙宫' at the end of the 'Rainbow Bridge'.
"What kind of technology is this that can evade my eyes?"
Heimdall was shocked when he saw this, because throughout the entire 'Nine Realms', except for particularly powerful magical spells, everything else could not escape the perception of his eyes.
But this ugly, huge spaceship had successfully done it.
But now was obviously not a good time to think too much about these things.
Woo—
Heimdall then blew the 'Gjallarhorn', sending a signal to '仙宫' that it was under external invasion.
Along with the melodious and majestic sound of the horn, the magic turrets around '仙宫' entered a state of combat in the first instance, launching a dense magic bombardment like a rain curtain towards the oncoming blade warships.
At the same time, a large number of magical airships rose from the ground into the sky to intercept the blade warships in the air!
Don't look at these magical airships with pointed ends, shaped like human European wooden boats, which can only accommodate 3 to 5 warriors to ride together, but their maneuverability and firepower configuration are not weak at all.
Especially the four blast machine guns equipped below the bow of the ship, like a magical version of the 'M61 Vulcan Cannon', while the gun barrels rotated, powerful magic energy弹 shells were ejected at high speed.
Forming dense lines of attack in mid-air.
However.
The blade warships driven by the 'Dark Elves' had extremely tough armor, and even if they were hit head-on by magic energy 弹, they were still unscathed.
In addition, with the powerful 'Dark Matter Energy Cannon' equipped on the fuselage, the outer magic turrets and magic airships quickly suffered heavy losses in the attack.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Heimdall quickly inserted the Rainbow Bridge sword 'Bifrost' specially used to open the 'Rainbow Bridge' into the slot, and opened the energy defense罩 of '仙宫' from the outside.
Crack—
As the sword body rotated, the energy device inside '仙宫' was activated, and a circle of golden energy defense罩 quickly rose from the bottom of '仙宫'.
Rumble—
Several blade warships that could not dodge crashed head-on into the energy護壁 of the defense罩, and immediately turned into团 of violently burning fireballs.
Seeing this, Heimdall couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
But the good times did not last long.
Inside '仙宫', Algrim, who had transformed into a 'Cursed Warrior', had already killed all the way to the equipment machine room that supplied energy to the defense罩.
Because all the equipment and weapons had been taken away by the guards before, he could only wave his fists and smash towards the energy core.
Rumble—
A huge explosion swept out, and the defense罩 outside '仙宫', which had not yet been completely closed, lost its energy supply and quickly disintegrated.
And Malekith, the leader of the 'Dark Elves', took the opportunity to control a blade warship and rushed into '仙宫'.
Previously, he had been sleeping in the dead universe for nearly five thousand years, just waiting for the moment when the 'Aether' reappeared.
And after the 'Aether' possessed Jane Foster and was successfully brought out of that sealed land.
Even across several light-years, Malekith still felt the call from the 'Aether' in the first instance.
So… he's here!!
"Kill them all."
Malekith strode out of the spaceship, directly ignoring the Asgardian guards surrounding him, and went straight towards the direction where Jane Foster was.
And a large number of dark elf warriors who涌 out from behind him used 'Dark Matter Energy Guns' and 'Black Hole Grenades' to launch attacks.
Bang bang bang—
The Asgardian guards, holding enchanted long swords and enchanted shields, quickly fell into a passive beating situation.
They might be able to resist ordinary energy beams with their enchanted solid shields.
But the 'Black Hole Grenade' that could cause the space to collapse inward in an instant was simply the nemesis of all cold weapons.
Boom boom boom—
The dark elf warriors threw 'Black Hole Grenades' towards the retreating Asgardian guards in front of them.
In the instant those grenades detonated, the rampant [Dark Matter] unleashed within created a brief, miniature black hole in mid-air, sucking in everything within its area of effect.
Several Asgardian guards, who had raised their shields to defend against the shockwave, were the first to suffer.
Whether it was their bodies, or the enchanted, sturdy armor and weapons they wore, all were compressed to their limits by the powerful gravitational field, and then vanished.
Even the stone pillars in the hall, and the King of Gods' throne, crafted from magical [Uru metal], were no exception.
It should be noted that Thor's "Mjolnir" was made using this special metal.
Its hardness is self-evident!
But… before the [Black Hole Grenade], all are equal!!
