"Sigh…"
When Odin looked at Thor, he found his good-for-nothing son was intimately flirting with Jane Foster as if nothing was wrong.
A hint of weariness and disappointment involuntarily appeared in Odin's eyes.
"My foolish son, when will you truly mature and succeed me as the King of Asgard?"
In fact, as early as three years ago, Odin intentionally 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, not only indulged in fighting all day but also fell in love with an ordinary woman from the lower realm?
Odin almost vomited blood on the spot when he heard this news.
Was he truly a piece of rotten wood that couldn't be carved?
Thus… Thor's succession had to be postponed indefinitely!
One reason Odin was so eager to abdicate in favor of Thor was that he had long ago predicted the coming of Ragnarok through his divine power.
In that great catastrophe, which was 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!
The other little-known reason was related to Odin's eldest daughter, Hela, the Goddess of Death.
Due to certain "filial" historical issues.
Hela, who had once fought for Odin across the Nine Realms and achieved illustrious feats, was stripped of her divine power by her anxious-to-"whitewash" old father and banished to Helheim, the "realm of the dead."
However, since Hela could draw infinite power from Asgard, even Odin had to pay a corresponding price to successfully seal her divine power.
Ultimately, Odin chose to use his own life to complete the seal… The price was that he could no longer freely use all of his divine power, and as his life was consumed, the seal would gradually be lifted!
(Note: In Thor 3, Odin personally admitted on his deathbed that his life was the only thing that could restrain Hela.)
It was precisely because of this that he was so eager for Thor to ascend to godhood, gain the recognition and support of Asgard, and thereby replace Hela and receive the power blessing of Asgard!
But unfortunately, this foolish son had never understood this point.
Watching Thor and Jane Foster's retreating figures, Odin sighed helplessly:
"Alas, it seems 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 the Heavenly Palace, after hearing Jane Foster recount the "major events" that had occurred on Earth in recent months, Thor's face couldn't help but show a look of "missed opportunity."
"Fun?" Jane Foster frowned and corrected him:
"San Francisco and Prydonia have been completely devastated by Kaiju attacks… The 'Seven Cities Crisis' a few days ago even displaced millions of innocent civilians, this is clearly not fun at all!"
"Sorry, Jane, I meant… if I had been there at the time, I definitely wouldn't have let that happen."
Thor patted his chest and guaranteed, "As the future successor to godhood in Asgard, the people of the Nine Realms are theoretically all my subjects, so protecting them is one of my responsibilities."
Jane Foster's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, and she said coquettishly, "The Nine Realms are so vast, how can you protect 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 S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers? They are also very powerful."
Who would have thought that Jane Foster would reply with a look of disdain, "Heh heh, if you knew what S.H.I.E.L.D. has been doing recently, I'm afraid you would regret ever cooperating with them."
"As for the Avengers, the other members seem to have been badly defeated in the 'Seven Cities Crisis'…"
Just as Thor was about to ask for specific details with a surprised expression, Jane Foster suddenly cupped his face 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, that?" Thor grinned, revealing a pure, foolish smile, "That's all thanks to Heimdall; when he couldn't see you on Earth, he immediately informed me."
"I realized that your disappearance might be related to the Celestial Convergence event that was about to happen…"
Then, under Jane Foster's curious and confused gaze, he continued to explain:
"According to legend, every five thousand years, the Nine Realms of the World Tree will align, which we call the Celestial Convergence!"
"During this period, the boundaries between the various realms will become blurred… and the time you disappeared, you likely stumbled into one of these blurred points by accident."
"But fortunately, the point didn't close before you left."
"Otherwise, once the realms deviate from the convergence line, these interconnected spatial points will be cut off, and you would be trapped there forever."
"I like that explanation!" A deeply moved Jane Foster first leaned in for a kiss, and then asked the real question in her heart.
"If that substance called the Aether Particle stays in my body and can't be removed, what will happen to me?"
The smile on Thor's face froze; how could a reckless man who only knew how to fight solve something even his own father couldn't handle?
In the end, he could only offer vague comfort:
"Don't worry, Jane, I will definitely find a way to save you… My father is the Allfather, but he is not omniscient."
And just as the two were intimately conversing.
In the dungeon prison beneath the Heavenly Palace, Algrim, a Dark Elf Warrior disguised as a prisoner, directly dug out the dark matter energy stone he had hidden in his stomach.
It was a special energy substance created from fragments of the Aether Particle.
By burning one's life, it could instantly transform a Dark Elf into a powerful Cursed Warrior, with doubled strength, defense, and regenerative abilities.
And Algrim was undoubtedly the tallest and strongest of the Dark Elves!
Buzz—
When he crushed the dark matter energy stone, immense energy instantly filled his body.
Algrim's entire body glowed with a scorching red light, like molten lava.
Transformed by the dark matter, his body began to rapidly swell, visibly growing from about two meters to nearly three meters tall.
And he also grew a thick layer of scales and countless sharp bone spurs.
"What the hell is going on?"
The prisoners in the same cell were scared out of their wits after witnessing this bizarre scene, frantically banging on the magic force field and calling for help from the guards outside.
However.
By the time the Heavenly Palace guards arrived, Algrim, who had transformed into a Cursed Warrior, had already used brute force to break through the magic force field surrounding the prison.
Bang, bang—
Algrim did not dodge, allowing the longswords in the hands of two Heavenly Palace guards to hack at his body.
But these enchanted swords, capable of cutting through steel, could not penetrate the thick scales on Algrim's body at all.
Instead, he grabbed one by the neck with each hand and lifted them into the air.
"You Asgardian wastes, this is the beginning of revenge…"
As he spoke, a scorching red light appeared on Algrim's palms; the life force of the two Heavenly Palace guards rapidly drained away, and in the blink of an eye, they were sucked dry, turning into two desiccated corpses.
Bang, bang, bang—
Next, Algrim punched and shattered the magic force fields outside the other cells, allowing the prisoners inside to rush out and fight the Heavenly Palace guards who had arrived as reinforcements.
However, in this process, he specifically overlooked Loki, who was held in solitary confinement.
This was not because he felt threatened by Loki.
Quite the opposite.
After carefully observing the other party, Algrim chose to turn around and leave.
Because a weakling like him, even if released, wouldn't be of any use!
"Hey, whatever you're trying to do, you've missed the best possible helper."
Loki complained, looking at Algrim, who was preparing to leave amidst the chaos.
And just as the dungeon prison descended into chaos, with everyone's attention focused there.
Above Asgard, a "cross-shaped" spaceship, with its stealth function activated, successfully evaded the senses of Heimdall, the Gatekeeper God, who possessed the "eyes that observe all things in the Nine Realms," and descended silently.
It was none other than the Dark Elves' last remaining mothership.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Dozens of blade-shaped battleships flew out from the "cross mothership" and then sped straight towards the magnificent Heavenly Palace at the end of the Bifrost Bridge.
"What kind of technology is this, that it can evade my eyes?"
Heimdall was instantly shocked, because throughout the entire Nine Realms, except for exceptionally powerful magic spells, nothing else could escape the perception of his eyes.
But this ugly, gigantic spaceship in front of him had successfully done so.
However, now was clearly not the time to ponder these things too much.
Wooooom—
Heimdall immediately blew the Gjallarhorn, sending a signal of external invasion to the Heavenly Palace.
Accompanied by the long and majestic horn blast, the magic turrets on the outskirts of the Heavenly Palace immediately entered combat mode, launching a dense barrage of magic cannon fire like a rain curtain at the incoming Blade Battleships.
At the same time, a large number of magic flying boats also ascended from the ground into the sky to intercept the Blade Battleships from above!
Although these magic flying boats, with their pointed ends and shapes resembling human European wooden boats, could only accommodate 3 to 5 warriors, their maneuverability and firepower configuration were by no means weak.
Especially the four blast machine guns mounted beneath the bow, like a magical M61 Vulcan cannon, rapidly ejected powerful magic energy projectiles as the barrels rotated.
Forming dense lines of attack in mid-air.
However.
The Blade Battleships piloted by the Dark Elves possessed extremely tough armor; even when hit head-on by magic energy projectiles, they remained unharmed.
Coupled with the destructive dark matter energy cannons equipped on their bodies, the outer magic turrets and magic flying boats soon suffered heavy losses in the attack.
"Damn it!"
Seeing this, Heimdall quickly inserted the Bifrost Sword, "Bifrost Steel," specifically used to activate the Bifrost Bridge, into its slot, activating the Heavenly Palace's energy shield from the outside.
Crack—
As the sword turned, the energy device inside the Heavenly Palace was activated, and a golden energy shield rapidly rose from the bottom of the Heavenly Palace.
Rumble—
Several Blade Battleships that couldn't dodge in time crashed head-on into the energy barrier of the shield, instantly turning into raging fireballs.
Heimdall breathed a long sigh of relief at the sight.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
But the good times did not last long.
Inside the Heavenly Palace, Algrim, who had transformed into a Cursed Warrior, had already fought his way to the equipment room that supplied power to the shield.
Since all his weapons and equipment had been confiscated by the guards earlier, he could only swing his fists at the energy core.
Rumble—
A massive explosion swept out; the outer shield of the Heavenly Palace, which had not yet fully closed, rapidly disintegrated after losing its energy supply.
And Malekith, the leader of the Dark Elves, took the opportunity to pilot a Blade Battleship into the Heavenly Palace.
Previously, he had been dormant for nearly five thousand years in the silent Universe, just waiting for the Aether Particle to reappear.
And after the Aether Particle possessed Jane Foster and was successfully brought out of its sealed location.
Even across light-years, Malekith immediately felt the call from the Aether Particle.
So… he came!!
"Kill them all."
Malekith strode out of the spaceship, completely ignoring the Heavenly Palace guards who surrounded him, and headed directly towards Jane Foster's location.
And the large number of Dark Elf Warriors pouring out from behind him launched an attack using dark matter energy guns and Black Hole Grenades.
Bang, bang, bang—
The Heavenly Palace guards, armed with enchanted longswords and enchanted shields, quickly found themselves in a passive, defensive position.
They might have been able to block ordinary energy beams with their sturdy enchanted shields.
But the Black Hole Grenades, capable of causing instantaneous inward spatial collapse, were practically the bane of all cold weapons.
Boom, boom, boom—
The Dark Elf Warriors threw Black Hole Grenades at the retreating Heavenly Palace guards.
The moment these grenades exploded, the dark matter raging within them instantly created a temporary small black hole in mid-air, sucking everything within its effective range into it.
Several Heavenly Palace guards who tried to defend against the Impact with their shields were the first to suffer.
Both their bodies and the enchanted tough armor and weapons on them were all compressed to the extreme in the powerful gravitational field, then disappeared.
Even the stone pillars in the grand hall, and the Divine King's throne crafted from Uru metal, which possessed magical properties, were no exception.
One should know that Thor's "Meow-Meow Hammer" was forged from this special metal.
Its hardness is unimaginable!
But… before the Black Hole Grenade, all beings are equal!!
