Chapter 923: Thor's Plea for Help
Fury was busy with clarity when Edward and his little assistant Nicole were waiting for the plane at JFK.
While Edward was reading the newspaper, Nicole was excitedly playing with her phone beside him, and from time to time she secretly took a picture of Edward's back from behind, and then her fingers quickly typed a piece of text.
"Yes! The number of people has exceeded 10 million!" Suddenly, Nicole jumped up excitedly, breaking the quiet atmosphere of the waiting room and attracting the attention of many people waiting for the flight.
Edward sighed, put the newspaper away, and stroked his forehead, "Miss Assistant, you should check now why the plane can't take off yet? ”
"Sorry...... Edward. Nicole stuck out her tongue and was about to get up to ask the airport staff, when the radio went off.
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to some unexpected events, the following flights will be delayed indefinitely, please understand......
Nicole shrugged her shoulders at Edward and whispered, "I see, let's fly away......"
Edward didn't answer her words, but frowned at something.
In his vision, the space around him suddenly began to become unstable, and many invisible portals were opened by a force.
"Could it be Charlie? No, it's not like a man-made move, no one can cause such a large area of spatial chaos. Edward muttered to himself, tossing the newspaper straight forward, but it suddenly disappeared in front of him.
Nicole and the people waiting around her widened their eyes as they watched the incredible scene.
The newspaper fell from the sky and landed directly on Nicole's head.
"It's ...... What's going on?" Nicole asked, startled, as she took the newspaper down and was surprised.
"Some kind of spatial disorder. Edward pondered, only to find an acquaintance enter the waiting room.
"Edward, I need your help. "Thor is wearing his battle suit and holding Thor's hammer, and he gets straight to the point.
"Oh my God! it's Thor, my god!" Nicole was stunned for a moment, danced excitedly, and habitually picked up her phone to take a few pictures.
"Looks like you're anxious, and I'm here to help. Edward laughed, "Do you need me to change into a formal suit?"
"I'm sorry, Edward, I'm not in the mood to joke with you. Thor didn't smile and said heavily, "Let's go at once, to Asgard." ”
Edward nodded when he heard this, stood beside Thor and said, "Is there something wrong with the Cosmic Cube or that staff?"
Nicole also habitually followed Edward.
"Neither, it's worse than this. Thor grabbed Edward's wrist and glanced at the ceiling of the waiting room, "Well, please contact S.H.I.E.L.D. for the loss of the airport." ”
As soon as his words fell, a pillar of light fell from the sky, directly penetrating the top floor of the waiting room, directly covering the three of them.
The intense light forced people to cover their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, the three of them disappeared directly, leaving a circular mark directly on the ground.
............
"It's a great way to teleport. Edward stood on his feet and exclaimed.
"Oh God, this is the legendary Asgard Asgard!" Nicole looked like a rough nerve, having experienced the light teleportation just now, and before the excitement subsided, she was fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of her.
An avenue of colorful light leads into the distance, ending in a majestic and sacred triangular palace. The palace is surrounded by a number of buildings of the same style, lined with beautiful towers, densely populated with towering natural peaks and batteries hidden between the buildings.
At this time, however, it appears to have been attacked, smoke is billowing everywhere, and many buildings are badly damaged. With Edward's ability, he could clearly sense that above the palace, in the ethereal sky, there was a huge blade-shaped spaceship and countless wandering combat vehicles of the same type.
A small boat with wings on the tail was moored at the edge of the Colorful Bridge, and Thor couldn't help but pull Edward and Nicola into the boat, and flew directly to the majestic palace.
"This is Asgard, and this avenue is the Rainbow Bridge. Thor's face was still heavy at this time, and he stared at the Asgardian palace and said, "You should also see that we were attacked, my queen mother was killed in the attack, and I hope you can resurrect her." ”
"Your queen mother is dead?" As soon as Edward saw the group of spaceships hovering over Asgard, he realized the seriousness of the situation, and after hearing this, he muttered for a while, "How does your mother's ability compare to you?"
"We Asgardian royalty are all very strong, about the same as me. And my queen mother is good at using illusions and has a certain magical ability. Thor looked at Edward nervously, afraid that he would say something like powerless.
"That's fine, but it's going to take a while. Edward said, "The resurrection spell depends on the strength of the subject's ability, and with your level, if I want to resurrect you, it will take two days, and I can't be disturbed." ”
"And if it's an ordinary person, it's just a blink of an eye, and I don't even have to do it myself, like the Holy Light device I gave to Director Fury. ”
"That's fine, I'm here to thank you in advance!" Thor breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
Nicole listened to the two of them so dumbfounded that she couldn't believe her ears, and she even forgot to shoot the scenery.
"Can you tell me now, why is this happening?" Edward said, waving his hand, "Why did those ships attack you?
"No, it's not a Rubik's cube, it's an aether particle. Thor glanced at Nicole, who was stunned beside Edward, and said solemnly, "To put it simply, my grandfather's dark elves who were wiped out at that time have awakened again, and they want to regain their weapons, a magical dark power, in vain to take advantage of the opportunity when the nine kingdoms are connected and cause confusion in the borders, devouring the nine worlds in one breath and making the nine kingdoms fall into darkness forever." ”
"It's no wonder that the borders are confused? Edward was suddenly a little disappointed, Asgard Asgard was not worthy of the name, ruling the nine kingdoms but was achieved by an exterminated race, Edward was very skeptical that they would be able to protect the Cosmic Cube and the Eternal Staff.
The three of them took a small boat and soon came to the Asgardian Palace, and came to a room under the watchful eyes of many Asgard guards.
A one-eyed old man with an eye patch greeted him with a scepter in his hand, and looked at Edward in surprise.
"Edward Lee, the man I said had the ability to resurrect his mother, the head of the Demon Hunter Knights. "This is my father, Odin, Lord of Asgard. ”
"I saw a dazzling and divine light, very different from the divine light of our Asgard. Odin stared at Edward for a moment and said, "Welcome to Asgard, bearer of magical powers. ”
"Please forgive my faux pas, Your Majesty Odin. Edward nodded politely, "But it's still important to save people, you've been delayed for a while, this lady's soul is about to begin to dissipate, and if we don't hurry, we will lose the chance to resurrect her." ”
"Ah, of course, please help me. Odin said sincerely, "We in Asgard will remember your favor." ”
"I need a well-guarded room. Edward did not continue to be polite, and said directly, "When I perform the resurrection ceremony, no one should disturb me, otherwise you will lose this lady forever." ”
"No problem! I'll guard it myself. Thor volunteered to push the boat containing the corpse of a graceful lady straight inside.
"Are you sure the ships outside won't attack me during the resurrection ritual?" said Edward, who didn't immediately follow, hesitated.
"If that's the case, we'll defend Asgard to the death!" said a burly man with glowing eyes and dark skin, gritting his teeth.
Edward frowned and shook his head, "This kind of uncertain defensive war, in the end, it is your people who suffer. Isn't there any defense in Asgard other than those fixed batteries?"
"Yes, but the core of the Divine Light Enchantment was destroyed in the previous attack of the Dark Elves. Odin said bitterly, "Two days can't be repaired at all. ”
"Divine light, is that the kind of light energy in your fort?" Edward said immediately, "That's easy, my Demon Hunter was badly damaged in the last battle, and it hasn't been repaired yet, so I can't come to the battle, but I can summon a few engineers from our knights to help you repair the core of the enchantment." ”
After speaking, Edward opened his hand, and a magic array appeared in front of him, and when the brilliance of the magic array dissipated, five native elves belonging to the Demon Hunter Knights appeared in front of everyone.
"Dark Elf!" As soon as the five elves appeared, many of Asgard's guards exclaimed, and they immediately aimed their weapons at the elven engineers.
"Don't be nervous! they're not dark elves, they're elves of the Demon Hunter Knights, I've seen them. Thor immediately snapped, and the guards let go of their weapons.
Edward paused for a moment, gave a few words to the five elven engineers, and followed Thor into the inner room.
After Thor had taken Edward to a secret room, he gave Edward his mother's flower ship to him and looked at him wistfully.
"Don't worry, I'm sure your mother will come back to you again. Edward patted Thor on the shoulder and comforted.
"Please, Edward, save my mother. Thor muttered, "I'll always be here." ”
Edward nodded, and with one hand condensed a clone of the Holy Light, standing with Thor, the main body pushing the flower boat into the chamber, and then closing the thick door.
Holding Thor's hammer in his hand, Thor looked suspiciously at the clone composed of holy light, and asked tentatively, "Edward?"
"This is my doppelganger. The clone smiled, "You can use me to understand the situation inside, and at the same time, I can also help you defend against foreign enemies." ”
"And this spell?" Thor was taken aback, "Does the illusion body also have combat power?"
"Do you think it's an illusion?" Edward's doppelganger put his arm around Thor's shoulder, laughing in his stunned eyes.
............
A day later, Odin was walking restlessly around the throne when a guard came to tell him that the core had been repaired!
Odin was overjoyed and immediately ordered all the people of Asgard to gather at Asgard, and then opened the Divine Light Enchantment.
Of course, the dark elves also saw that Asgard was slowly being wrapped in a layer of golden divine light barrier, and despite the fact that their leader Malekith was still seriously injured, they resolutely launched an attack on Asgard.
But it was too late, and by the time the Dark Elf battle ships swarmed in, the barrier was already complete, and no matter how much they attacked, they couldn't break through Asgard's defenses for a while.
After another day of heavy artillery siege in this place, the door to Asgard's secret chamber was opened, and Edward's clone disappeared with a smile.
Thor, who was already anxious, immediately rushed in, and looked at the queen of Asgard, Friggia, who was being held by Edward.
"I'm back again, Thor. Frigga stretched out her hands and smiled, "It's an amazing feeling." ”
"Mother!" said Thor as he hugged Frigga tightly, almost tears of joy falling from his eyes, "how do you feel now?" I must tell my father the good news, lest he be overwhelmed in grief by your death and make some wrong decisions. ”
"I'm fine, I'm just a little weak, we're going to persuade him now. Frigga turned to Edward and bowed deeply, "Thank you for all that you have done for Asgard, and for me, Edward. ”
"As much as you can. Edward smiled, "At the same time, you are a good queen for my Light to bring you back." ”
"Holy light? I felt that warmth when I was in a state of soul. Frigga also smiled, "I think your kingdom must be very beautiful, and you will be a good king." ”
"Thank you. Edward was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Now, shall we take care of the things outside?" I feel that the situation in Asgard is not good right now. ”
By the time Thor walked out of the chamber with his mother and Edward, the battle was raging outside.
Asgard's Divine Light Enchantment is a two-way enchantment, meaning that attacks from the outside will be blocked, and attacks from inside will also be blocked.
Therefore, the main palace of Asgard only qualifies as passive defense. And after two days of fierce offensive, the barrier wrapped outside the main palace has faded a lot, and at a glance, you know that it will soon be breached.
Inside the main palace, the people were panicked, Odin sat on the throne frowning and pondering, and the generals were arguing below, and there was chaos.
But this soon disappeared with the advent of Friggia. As soon as Odin saw the three of Frigga coming out, he was stunned for a moment, and rushed straight down to the throne, hugging his wife tightly.
"Your Majesty, you should not have put Asgard in the flames of war for my sake. After a deep hug, Frigga explained, "Thor is right, we should transfer Thor's girlfriend and find a battlefield suitable for us to fight a decisive battle." ”
Odin took a deep breath and pondered for a long time before saying, "Well, I admit that I was blinded by hatred. But now, the outside is full of dark elf ships, and the Rainbow Bridge is also occupied by them, and we have no chance to get out. ”
"The Rainbow Bridge is not the only gateway to other countries. Thor interjected, "There's one person who knows about another teleportation channel. ”
