“Motherf**ker!!”
Watching Karl and the others disappear into the portal, Nick Fury was filled with anger and annoyance, but even more so, embarrassment!
And the kind of embarrassment that just keeps piling on.
You say stop them?
After Odin and the others left, he really didn't have the guts!
But if he didn't stop them?
Wouldn't his bold words just turn into a load of bullsh*t?
If there weren't outsiders present, he would have accepted his fate.
But the infamous [Daily Bugle] had arrived early and set up cameras across the river.
God knows if this "rogue newspaper," which would do anything for news, had used drones or other devices to eavesdrop on that conversation.
If that were to be publicly reported, where would Nick Fury's face be? Where would the prestige of [.] stand?
Stopping them was not an option, not stopping them was also not an option, and Nick Fury, caught in a dilemma, wished he could just find a hole to crawl into.
Bang—
Just then, as a [Thunder Warrior] passed by Nick Fury, his broad shoulder accidentally brushed against the latter's coat.
“Ugh…”
Nick Fury, as if possessed by a drama queen, suddenly jumped back a long way, then rolled heavily on the ground, clutching his shoulder and not moving.
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had just been hit by a freight train!
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
WTF???
The [Thunder Warrior] looked at Nick Fury with a dumbfounded expression, then looked at his own shoulder.
Uh, is that black guy… trying to scam me?
No, aren't you the director of [.]? Do you have to resort to such dirty tactics?
he~tui~~
So f**king dirty!
The [Thunder Warrior] reached out and silently patted the non-existent dust off his shoulder… no, it should be called dirt, and then walked straight into the portal without looking back.
“Director, are you alright?”
Maria Hill immediately prepared to rush over and argue with those [Thunder Warriors] with righteous indignation.
What?
You say, why didn't the arrogant and domineering . agents just take action?
Uh, they have to have the guts to do that!
They had personally witnessed on the [Sky Carrier] how easily the [Thunder Warriors] defeated the [Dark Elves].
If we roughly estimate according to the calculation formula of 1 [Werewolf·Thunder Warrior] / [Cursed Warrior] = 3 Dark Elf Warriors / Asgardian Warriors = 9 . agents, then their manpower is simply not enough for the [Werewolf·Thunder Warriors] to kill.
In addition, Karl's fierce reputation was well-known.
So even though they saw their own director being "knocked away," no one dared to raise their guns at those terrifying [Thunder Warriors] who were like killing machines.
Since we can't win in a fight, we can reason with them, right?
This is a society ruled by law!!
However.
Before Maria Hill could take any action, Nick Fury, who was lying on the ground, quickly and quietly stopped her.
“Shhh, don't mind those guys, I'm fine, quickly take me away from here!!”
Nick Fury had been worried about not finding a reasonable excuse to escape, and now he might even be able to get worker's compensation afterward.
As for face… cough cough, when has Nick Fury ever had face in front of Karl?
It's already pretty good to be able to save his life this time.
Besides, a gentleman takes revenge, what's wrong with waiting another ten or twenty years?
This is not shameful at all! (Nick Fury thinks to himself)
……
Just like that, as Karl and his party triumphantly returned from the portal, the people from [.] also scurried away like rats crossing the street in [Quinjets].
And the eight dimensional gaps in the sky were completely closed after the [Convergence].
Only the devastated ruins of buildings and the wreckage of the downed fighter jets could prove that a very tragic war had once taken place here.
This alien invasion crisis, which ended abruptly like a farce, officially came to an end!
But the discussion about this battle is still going on intensely.
Especially those melon-eating crowds squatting in the [Daily Bugle]'s live broadcast room.
After witnessing "magic," "portals," "God-King," and "transformed super soldiers" and many other magical elements that can only be seen in science fiction movies, they were all excitedly screaming.
“This membership is so worth it, the [Daily Bugle] really didn't disappoint me, it's simply the most conscientious newspaper!”
“That's right, this battle is much more enjoyable than the [New York Battle] a few months ago, those alien invaders are simply vulnerable in front of that group of [Thunder Warriors]!”
“[Werewolf·Thunder Warriors] and [Vampire·Thunder Warriors] are so handsome, does anyone know the contact information for signing up for the army?”
“But speaking of which, how does Old James know so much? He even knows the battle group code names of that group of super soldiers? Real spy unparalleled?”
“Brothers, why do you care so much, as long as Old James can guarantee that we can enjoy eating melons, isn't that enough? Does it matter where he gets his information from?”
“That's right, but this [Hyperspace Group] is a bit too awesome, isn't it?
First, there was the [Ape God] who was invincible in battle across Titan, and now they've created a team of [Thunder Warriors] who are all Captain Americas… no, stronger than Captain America, what kind of existence is this company? It's a bit too mysterious, isn't it?”
“And that Karl Mara that Old James just mentioned, if I remember correctly, he seems to be the one who personally liberated [Sokovia] a few months ago, right?”
“If that's the case, then everything seems to make sense, [Sokovia] suddenly became so powerful, it must be because this Karl Mara made efforts behind the scenes, right?”
As the fishing theory continued to heat up, the name [Hyperspace Group], which was slightly unfamiliar to most people, officially entered the public eye.
Many people were happy to regard [Hyperspace Group] as a huge organization similar to [.], [PPDC], and [Monarch] that saves the earth.
And Karl, who became popular again because of this, was automatically classified as a superhero like Spider-Woman and the members of the [Avengers].
…………
……
[Asgard].
[Valhalla].
“Frigga, how did you know that mortal… no, that guy is a dimensional demon god?”
Odin returned and went straight to Queen Frigga's bedroom, impatiently asking about Karl.
“A demon god named [God of Wisdom] told me.”
Frigga said with an extremely complicated expression: “Just when Your Majesty led the army to conquer [Midgard], an Asgardian guard possessed by the [God of Wisdom], with a blue, constantly twisting flame of change floating on his forehead, suddenly came to me and warned me that it was time to repay the favor I owed before!”
Odin heard this and looked at Frigga with surprise and anger. How dare a magical creature invade his [Valhalla]?
This is simply slapping his old face as the [God-King]!
Frigga obviously noticed Odin's gaze and explained helplessly:
“Although I don't know how the other party did it, it is clear that this [God of Wisdom] is the one who previously possessed Jane Foster and successfully saved my life using 'time stop magic' when the [Dark Elves] invaded [Valhalla].”
“Your Majesty, although I didn't see the other party's main body, I can clearly feel an unprecedentedly powerful sense of oppression just from that rune.”
“Even if I activate the secret technique of the [Vanir], I cannot observe any information about the other party… and, He also mentioned [Ragnarok] and the destruction of [Asgard].”
Frigga paused slightly and continued with an extremely firm tone: “In addition to demon gods who are good at manipulating time, I really can't think of anyone else who could possess this extraordinary attribute.”
“But what really makes my hair stand on end is that this [God of Wisdom] actually told me that He is just a vassal under the command of the dimensional demon god who confronted you!!”
Frigga didn't continue, but looked at Odin with a slightly uneasy expression.
She didn't know what the origin of this so-called [God of Wisdom] was.
I don't know what the other party's purpose is.
But one thing is certain.
If we rashly make enemies with him, it will definitely not be a good thing for [Asgard]!
It was based on this idea that Queen Frigga used a magic projection to persuade Odin to give up the battle at that time.
“What? He even predicted [Ragnarok] and the destruction of [Asgard]?”
Even Odin couldn't help but be shocked.
He knows Queen Frigga's strength best.
Looking at the entire [Nine Realms], there are very few people who can surpass her in magic.
So the strength of the guy who can make Frigga feel like she is facing a great enemy is naturally beyond doubt.
But what really makes Odin a little incomprehensible is that such a powerful demon god is willing to be someone else's vassal?
Can you believe this?
Then how terrifying is the guy who confronted him in [Midgard] before?
“In this way, that guy is at least a dimensional demon god whose strength is not inferior to Dormammu and Cytorrak…”
Odin's consciousness obviously fell into the thinking trap deliberately set by Tzeentch, and began to automatically imagine Karl's powerful image.
Even the upper limit of Karl's strength that he had previously exposed was mistaken by him as a deliberate act of hiding his strength and pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger!
After all, how could a guy who can make a demon god-level powerhouse who is good at “time magic” loyal to him be so weak?!
“God-King…”
Just then, an Asgardian guard ran in hurriedly to report: “News just came from the dungeon prison that Prince Loki has escaped!”
“???”
…………
……
[Sokovia].
After returning, Karl first handed Malekith and the huge interstellar battleship over to Samuel Sterns for the next technological upgrade and iterative research.
Then, at the post-war summary meeting, he gave the highest affirmation to the heroic performance of the [Thunder Warrior Legion] in this battle…
By the time he finished dealing with all the trivial matters at hand, it was already dark outside.
Karl then returned to his room and began to happily take stock of his gains in this operation.
This time, it can be said to be a real bumper harvest!
First of all, the most important thing… the [Reality Stone] was successfully acquired by him.
The [Reality Stone] is crucial to the [Phase Two Plan] formulated by Karl, and is directly related to the success or failure of the [Hunter Project].
Now, he can finally officially start the next action.
At the same time, the [Reality Stone] completely made up for the "energy shortage" problem that may occur at any time.
Even if the believers of the "Five Little Ones" increase exponentially in the future, the energy supply will not be affected in any way.
Moreover, Karl has also gained a new ability waiting to be developed.
Secondly, the black technology mastered by the [Dark Elves]!
As the leader of the [Dark Elves], Malekith's brain stores all the advanced black technology of the [Dark Elves].
This will undoubtedly become Karl's greatest help in advancing into the sea of stars in the next stage.
And among these black technologies, naturally, there is also the [Black Hole Grenade], which is listed by netizens on the "Marvel Top Ten Artifacts" list!
This "big killer" developed based on [dark matter] has a perverted level of lethality on the battlefield.
What Karl was most worried about before was that [Thunder Warriors] would be killed in large numbers by [Black Hole Grenades] in battle.
But fortunately, it seems that all the [Dark Elves]' stock was used up when they invaded [Asgard].
And now Karl holds the [Reality Stone], as long as he figures out how to extract [dark matter] from it, he can continuously produce [Black Hole Grenades] in the future.
At that time, the [Thunder Warrior Legion] will surely become the strongest legion in the universe that makes people talk about it!
It is precisely for this reason that Karl left Malekith alive.
In addition, this special operation also brought Karl an extremely considerable [Prestige Value] income.
Only a few hours have passed, and through the promotion of [Daily Bugle], more than two million [Prestige Value] has been credited.
And the growth momentum is unstoppable, and it is not difficult to break through the 10 million mark in the follow-up!
Nowadays, harvesting [Prestige Value] is simply too easy for Karl.
And in addition to the above-mentioned surface benefits, Karl also successfully extended the tentacles of [Hyperspace] into other countries in the [Nine Realms].
Thereby laying the first step foundation for further external expansion in the future.
Overall, Karl is very satisfied with this harvest, and his overall strength has been further strengthened!
“But Odin left suddenly without saying a word at that time, presumably it should be related to Tzeentch, right?”
Karl smiled slightly and didn't take the previous conflict with Odin to heart.
If we're destined not to be allies with [Asgard], then we'll just occupy it in the future!
In any case, Tzeentch has already begun to lay out the plan.
Ultimately, whether it's [Asgard], the other realms in the [Nine Realms] besides Earth, or the [Space Stone] and other treasures in [Odin's Vault], everything will fall into Karl's hands!!
So, next, it's time to officially kick off the [Second Phase Plan].
"Tzeentch, you can start contacting that Chosen One now!"
