Chapter 527: Asgard's Request
Infinity Stones, when assembled, can fulfill any wish of a person like Dragon Balls, and the scope of wish fulfillment is greater than that of Dragon Balls.
However, compared to the almost safe and harmless Dragon Balls, the price of making a wish with Infinity Stones is very heavy, and those who are not physically strong enough are likely to die on the spot.
Now that the four Infinity Stones have been collected by the Earth faction, the remaining two are in the hands of Thanos, and the last Soul Stone is missing.
Lu Xiao knew that the soul gem was buried in a hidden planet in the universe, guarded by the Red Skull, but he had no impression of the name of the planet at all.
Before leaving Asgard, Lu Xiao specifically asked Heimdall about this matter.
Even Heimdall's eyes that had seen the universe could not catch the whereabouts of the soul gem, and I am afraid that only Thanos's adopted daughter Gamorrah knew the specific location of the soul gem.
Gamora is also supposed to be roaming the universe with Star-Lord's Galactic Dance Troupe, making it difficult to catch their real-time location.
Taking a step back, even if she found Gamorra, it was still unknown whether she would tell Lu Xiao the whereabouts of the soul gem.
Moreover, it is a huge sacrifice to obtain soul gems, and it is necessary to lose a loved one in order for soul gems to enter the physical world.
Lu Xiao will never get the soul gem at the cost of Yongzhen, whoever likes to go will go, it's a big deal to snatch it from him (her) when the time comes.
After making sure that Altheya's War Factory was fully prepared, Lu Xiao planned to return to Kama Taj to test the power of the other Infinity Stones.
At this moment, Thor suddenly got in touch with Lu Xiao from Asgard.
"Lu, there's an emergency."
In the projection picture, Thor sits on a throne wearing a golden crown and a very ornate Asgardian dress, holding the spear Gungnir tightly in his left hand.
Letting the maids beside him take care of themselves, Thor said with a solemn face: "Our patrol fleet has found a small fleet of suspected space merchant ships outside the border. ”
"Merchant ships?"
Lu Xiao's eyes narrowed: "At this juncture? Camouflaged? ”
Thor nodded: "The Queen Mother and Loki also guessed so, and for the time being, they can't determine the other party's intentions, and the contact request sent out is completely silent." ”
"I've arranged for the Asgardian Cruise Fleet to intercept it, so if you have time, please come and help me...... Asgard's main forces are now unable to leave. ”
Thor smiled wryly and pointed to the royal maid who was still busy beside him, as if his enthronement ceremony was just around the corner.
According to Asgard's regulations, if you want to mobilize all the troops of the Nine Realms, you must order it in the name of the God King.
Thor can now only mobilize some of Asgard's direct men, the Warner Protoss of Warnaheim and the Light Elves of Alfheim, and even the Dwarves of Nidavel, who will only act at the behest of the current God-King.
Before and after the enthronement ceremony, most of the Asgardians, except for a few patrolling soldiers, would stay near the Golden Palace and wait for the grand ceremony to take place.
At this time, Thor couldn't muster enough and strong enough manpower to go to the border to crush the field.
Lu Xiao thought about it for a while, and finally agreed to Thor's request.
"Well, I've just finished a series of things here, and I just have time to spare."
Thor breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Xiao sincerely, "Thank you, my friend. ”
……
When Lu Xiao left the Avengers headquarters, Yongzhen had not yet returned to Kama Taj, and she was traveling around the world with a large number of mystics.
Telling Yongzhen of his whereabouts through Focus, Lu Xiao opened the portal and came to Asgard again.
During the lifetimes of the Ancient One and Odin, Kama Taj and Asgard have always kept the water from the well and the river water, and they are afraid of each other's existence.
With the passing of two veteran Nine Realm powerhouses one after another, with the good personal relationship between Lu Xiao and the new God King Thor who is about to ascend the throne, the relationship between Asgard and Kama Taj has obviously become closer.
Lu Xiao didn't remember how many times he had come to Asgard, and after standing on the Rainbow Bridge platform, he immediately saw the gold-armored janitor who was walking towards him, Heimdall.
The platform where the Rainbow Bridge is located is usually guarded by Heimdall alone, a sign of Odin's trust in Heimdall's strength and loyalty.
At this time, there were two rows of energetic soldiers standing neatly around the vast rainbow bridge platform, extending along the bridge to the core city of Asgard, and the two Asgardian generals who were a little familiar to Lu Xiao were responsible for leading these soldiers.
One of them was a strong man with a red beard, holding a glittering battle axe in his hand, and standing majestically at the forefront of the soldiers on the left.
The other man stood opposite the soldier on the right, a well-proportioned blonde warrior with a very handsome appearance, a sharp one-handed sword hanging from his waist, and a very serious expression.
"Heimdall, this is ......"
"Welcome party."
Heimdall briefly explained, "The leaders of the Nine Realms who are friendly with Asgard will come to Thor for the enthronement ceremony, and this is the best opportunity for Asgard to show his allies what they are capable of. ”
Lu Xiao's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood what Heimdall meant.
"Show off your muscles, it should be to facilitate Thor to command the army of the Nine Realms as a god king in the future." ’
The two generals who stood on the Rainbow Bridge platform to command the welcome team were two of the three warriors of Asgard, namely Vostag and Vandal.
The last of the three warriors of Asgard is named Hogan, a Warner Protoss from whom he recently accepted Thor's order to return to his homeland to invite the Warner Protoss elite to Asgard for a ceremony.
In the original Norse mythology, the Warner Protoss is a powerful being in the same category as the Asgard Protoss, with powerful gods such as Freya and Frey, who have fought with Asgard for many years.
The Warner Protoss in the Marvel world was subdued by Asgard many years ago, and the original batch of thorns disappeared under the conquest of Odin and Hela, and those who remained were good babies who had received Asgardian reform.
Speaking of the three warriors of Asgard, Lu Xiao suddenly remembered the female warrior Sif who acted with them in Thor 1.
"By the way, Heimdall, what about your sister Sif ? I've always heard Thor talk about her, but I've never met her. ”
Heimdall shook his head with a wry smile: "Ever since Thor established a relationship with Jane Foster, Sif has been in a low mood. ”
"In the past few years, she has actively avoided the area where Thor will appear, and it is natural that you will not see her when you often act with Thor, but ...... This seems to have changed recently. ”
Lu Xiao raised her eyebrows: "Did something happen?" ”
"Well...... this"
Heimdall thought for a moment before continuing, "Well, it's about to be a foregone conclusion anyway, I just hope you don't rush to spread it around yet." ”
"After Thor broke up with Jane Foster, Queen Frigga intended to identify a queen for Thor as soon as possible after he ascended the throne, and Sif was the most popular candidate."
Lu Xiao suddenly remembered, he vaguely remembered that Thor and Sif were a couple in the comics, and it seemed that this setting would continue in this movie universe.
As he spoke, Heimdall's eyes caught the Asgardian patrol fleet's trajectory and inserted his sword into the keyhole of the Rainbow Bridge.
"Lu, get ready, I will teleport you directly to the flagship of the patrol fleet, and may the light of the World Tree shine on your path."
