"Why does Nova Prime ask what she already knows?"
Michael laughed, "If Prime truly intended to give my information to Asgard, how could she possibly say so at this moment?!"
"Perhaps, I am the kind of person who... acts one way to your face and another behind your back," Nova Prime blinked, teasingly.
"You certainly know how to joke!"
Michael rolled his eyes wildly, complaining furiously. Is this what they call an old person with a young heart? An old mischievous woman!
"Asgard hates me to the core, and it's not... without reason."
Michael smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Look, what is this?"
"gungnir!!!"
Nova Prime shot up instantly! The Nova Empire was within the strike range of Asgard's Bifrost Bridge, and at any moment, they could be caught off guard by divine soldiers descending from the sky.
Under these circumstances, successive Nova Primes naturally conducted specialized research on Asgard. The current Nova Prime, standing before Michael, was even more intimately familiar with Odin's deeds!
Whether it was its appearance or the powerful aura it exuded, everything instantly confirmed for Nova Prime the authenticity of the Eternal Spear in Michael's hand!
"You..."
"You... you stole Odin's gungnir?"
Nova Prime didn't realize that her voice had unconsciously taken on a slight tremor.
Nova Prime couldn't help but be terrified. According to her investigations, gungnir was almost Odin's inseparable personal weapon and a symbol of Asgard's royalty. Now, it had actually been stolen by Michael!
Holy moly! This was going to cause trouble! This was going to cause huge trouble!
With gungnir stolen, Asgard must already be furious. At this moment, if the news of gungnir appearing on Xandar were to spread, Asgardian armies could be transmitted through the Bifrost Bridge in minutes!
They would absolutely not listen to my explanation! It's over! The Nova Empire is finished! That was a powerful entity that could even force the Kree Empire to retreat!
"Stolen?"
Just as Nova Prime was in despair, Michael's disdainful voice came, "You underestimate me too much, don't you?!"
"Who told you I stole it?"
Michael smirked, "I snatched this directly from Odin's hands!"
Thud! Michael struck gungnir against the ground, and a heavy sound wave carrying immense pressure quickly spread. Except for a few powerful individuals, everyone nearby was suppressed and fell to the ground, also snapping Nova Prime out of her fear and grief.
"..."
Nova Prime's mouth hung open in disbelief, "This... this was snatched by you? From Odin's hand? Not stolen?"
Nova Prime was not knocked down. Nova Prime was not a weakling; a mere tremor from gungnir couldn't truly knock her down.
Of course, this was also because Michael hadn't exerted his full strength; this was merely a trace of gungnir's inherent power.
"Of course!"
Michael waved his hand, putting gungnir back into his spatial ring. "Do you think anyone could steal Odin's weapon?"
Michael's purpose was simply to add more weight to his position, to display his strength in various aspects, and to prevent Nova Prime and the Nova Corps from underestimating him!
gungnir's brief appearance was enough for a perfect curtain call; there was no need to display it further.
Hiss!!! Although she also knew that Michael wanted to increase his leverage, Nova Prime was indeed greatly shaken.
This was gungnir! Odin's powerful divine artifact that he never let out of his sight! It was actually snatched from his hand!
Not to mention Nova Prime, everyone in the hall found it unbelievable!
The Hulk was an exception; he was completely unaffected and was happily munching on various delicious fruits and snacks nearby!
After a while, Nova Prime regained her composure, but Michael could still detect in the depths of her eyes that she was still very shocked by the fact that Michael possessed gungnir.
Such a powerful individual, capable of forcibly snatching gungnir from Odin's hand—some idiots in the Nova Corps actually wanted to capture him? It seems that the Nova Corps really needs a rectification later!
Nova Prime silently made a decision...
"I am truly sorry, King Qi Jun, for making you witness such a spectacle. This is truly astonishing!"
After several deep breaths, Nova Prime bowed slightly to Michael in respect.
Regardless of whether this item was truly snatched by Michael from Odin, or stolen, or even gifted by Odin, no matter what, Michael and his forces could only be befriended, not antagonized! Even if it meant being a bit humble!
"I wonder, King Qi Jun, what kind of cooperation you intend to achieve with our Nova Empire this time?" Nova Prime asked with a forced smile.
The Nova Empire was already wary of Asgard and had not intended to disclose Michael's information to Asgard beforehand.
Now that Odin's divine spear had appeared in Michael's hand, it was even more impossible to tell Asgard about it; that would only drag the Nova Empire back into war.
Moreover, upon seeing gungnir appear in Michael's hand, while Nova Prime couldn't hide her shock and awe, she also couldn't help but feel a sense of, 'So that person isn't invincible after all!'
Gods are worshipped and feared because they are invincible!
If one day, you discover that the God you worship and fear is injured!
Then from that moment on, God will no longer be the God you feared...
Similarly, generations of Nova Primes had been wary of Asgard, secretly researching Asgard, yet daring not to provoke it. Asgard was like a sharp greatsword, hanging over the Nova Empire's head, causing constant unease.
But now, Nova Prime discovered that this... greatsword might be rusty, or even a toy. You realize that Asgard isn't that powerful after all! Odin the All-Father isn't that mighty after all!
Since that was the case, Nova Prime, who had never intended to involve Asgard, was even less likely to transmit Michael's information to Asgard.
In fact, Nova Prime's previous fear of Asgard had quietly shifted a little onto Michael.
This was an unparalleled powerhouse capable of contending with Odin!
