Ancient One's Conditions

Since the opening of the first Orphanage of the Heart-to-Heart Charity Foundation, the New York media has once again lauded Charlotte. Under the intervention of an invisible force, an image of Charlotte Doyle, full of love and saving people in the face of disaster, has once again appeared in major newspapers and magazines.

This led some uninformed people to believe that Charlotte was a selfless person, so they came to the Agency for help. In the end, they left cursing after learning about the high commission fees. However, some people from well-off families paid money to post a commission and got the results they wanted.

Some people online hurled insults at Charlotte, calling her a swindler and a fraud who offered no selfless help, while others who had commissioned the missions to praise the power of Charlotte Agency and the assistance they had received. However, the insults were completely ignored amidst the massive wave of publicity.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Charlotte immersed herself in the training of Ninjutsu and also tested the power of the Merlin set. Because the power enhanced by these three magical pieces was too terrifying, she had to go to the Summoning Realm to test its power.

During this time, Charlotte pondered for a long time and finally decided to recall Neji Squad, which had been on missions for more than a month. In order to resist the attack of Hell, he wanted to unite all the forces that could be united. As for Hidan, who was far away in Africa, Charlotte decided to give up on him after thinking about it and let him develop on his own.

After all, Charlotte had other plans for the missing-nin.

On the other side.

Asgard, the Asgard.

Odin, within the teleportation device of the Bifrost, addressed Thor:

"Thor Odinson, you have betrayed my orders. Through your arrogance and folly, you have opened the gates of peace to allow innocent people to suffer the ravages of a terrible war."

"You are not worthy to rule these kingdoms, you are not worthy of the title."

As they spoke, All-Father Odin, removed Thor's armor and cloak, and roared, "You do not deserve the love of your family, for you have betrayed them."

"I am now stripping you of your power, in the name of my father, in the name of my grandfather."

"I, Odin, the Father, banish you from the Asgard."

Odin picked up Mjolnir and struck Hammer into the Bifrost, then Rune Thor with Mjolnir.

"Whoever wields this great hammer will possess the power of Thor."

They then threw Mjolnir into the Bifrost together, and Loki witnessed it all.

The Bifrost transported Thor to none other than Midgard, one of the Nine Realms, which is Earth, and he landed in New Mexico.

Having done all this, Odin left the Bifrost, handing it back to Heimdall for safekeeping. Instead of returning to his Royal Palace, Odin appeared in Kamar-Taj in Midgard.

"Sorcerer Supreme!"

Ancient One turned around, looked at All-Father Odin who exuded divine power, and said, "Sending your son wasn't enough, why do you have to get involved too?"

Odin looked at the Ancient One and said seriously, "Midgard belongs to one of the Nine Realms, and the Asgard gods rule over the Nine Realms."

Looking at Odin's serious expression, the Ancient One slowly said, "So you're prepared to take on all the invasions from other dimensions for me."

Hearing the Ancient One's words, Odin coughed twice to ease his embarrassment, and then said, "I intend to let Thor gain some experience here, so he can understand what benevolence and tolerance truly mean."

"Therefore, I sealed his divine power, turning him into an ordinary person."

Ancient One glanced at Odin, a hint of mockery in her eyes, as if to say, "Is this tyrannical king also planning to let his descendants follow the path of a benevolent monarch?"

I wonder what Hela, who was treated differently, would think if she saw what you did.

What will the Earth gain?

"The friendship, even the alliance, between the future God King of Asgard."

"Not enough!"

What do you want?

"In a couple of days, the Magic World will reclaim the responsibilities that originally belonged to them. During the shift change at the magic circle, a large number of demons from Hell will enter the Magic World. Mephisto might even notice and launch an invasion. What you need to do for me is to cover your retreat."

"If the Magic World is unable to withstand the situation, you must intervene and send Mephisto back."

Upon hearing the Ancient One's words, Odin paused for a moment, then asked, "Merlin has found a successor?"

"Yes, a wonderful child."

Odin's eyes flashed with a divine light, as if he had scanned the entire Earth and its associated Magic World, before slowly withdrawing the light from his eyes.

"He is not Merlin's bloodline."

"But he is the current Prime Merlinian, the Dragon Ring has chosen him, and Merlin has acknowledged him."

Upon hearing this answer, Odin remained silent for a few seconds before finally speaking, "I promise you, if the Magic World falls, I will help."

"But they can handle it themselves, I won't help them."

"No problem!"

After a moment's thought, Odin asked, "May I see the current Prime Merlinian?"

Ancient One sized up Odin, trying to guess what mischief the old fox was up to, before saying, "It's not the right time yet. Once he has completely withstood the attack from the Hell Dimension, I can take him to visit you."

"Okay, it's settled then."

A flash of seven-colored light, Odin's figure vanished from Kamar-Taj.

As Odin departed, the Ancient One sat cross-legged, the Eye of Agamotto in her hand radiating a dazzling light. Ancient One intended to see what would happen if Charlotte entered Asgard.

······

On the other side.

At Charlotte Agency.

Watching yet another family leave in anger after seeking a free loan and failing to receive assistance, Charlotte, newspaper in hand, glanced at the latest news and asked Catherine at the front desk, "How many groups of guys have come to our door today?"

"Boss, this is the eighth wave today, but it's almost evening now. Judging from the past few days, there shouldn't be any more of these people coming tonight."

Charlotte put down her newspaper, turned on the television hanging on the wall, and said, "A bunch of delusional fools."

"That was a guarantee prepared for the children in the Orphanage, not a universal policy."

"Your kindness is a ray of light in the Mind Stone of those children!"

At that moment, the television was broadcasting news about the Stark Expo. A beautiful female reporter appeared on the screen, with the entrance gate to the Stark Expo behind her.

"Since the start of this Stark Expo, it has attracted countless top talents, and leading technology companies from all over the country have participated in the Stark Expo."

"Today, the main venue of the Stark Expo is open again, welcoming an important guest: Hammer Industries."

"Since Hammer Industries took over the Department of Department of Defense's arms contracts, it has always focused on producing high-quality products, and this time they have brought their brand new product, the Hammer Drones."

"That's right, just like Iron Man, Hammer Drones!"

"As for whether it's as perfect as Hammer Industries claims, please look forward to the upcoming product launch."

Watching the news on TV, Charlotte smiled to herself, thinking, "Looks like poor Hammer is going to be screwed over by Ivan. It's a pity the stock market is closed now; I should have shorted Hammer Industries beforehand."

"Sigh, I've been focusing on improving my strength lately, and I've missed this great opportunity."

······

On the other side.

Ivan Vanko had just resolved Hammer's security, and because of Charlotte's presence, he was worried about being attacked by her, so he asked Hammer to invest more funds to build more steel mechs.

It cost over 10 billion US dollars, and the 100 Jaegers completely drained Hammer's cash flow. However, it also gave Ivan some confidence. Considering the relationship between Charlotte and Tony, he planned to send some Jaegers to the Agency to stop Charlotte and others to kill Tony.

A flawless plan.

With that in mind, Ivan immediately dialed Tony's number online.

Tony, who was upgrading the weapons on his armor in the Laboratory, suddenly heard Jarvis's alert. "There's a call from an unknown number."

"A phone call is coming in. See who it is."

"Tony, how are you?"

"Haha, I suddenly realized that Arc Reactor's rotation speed results in a much more powerful energy boost."

Hearing that familiar voice, Tony thought for a moment before speaking, "You dead guy, you sound pretty energetic!"

"The same to you!"

After Tony muted the Shizune, he ordered, "Jarvis, track the caller's location."

"The Stark family history will be rewritten. What your father did to my family forty years ago, I will do to you in 40 minutes."

I hope you're ready!

After saying that, Ivan hung up the phone immediately.

"Jarvis, tracking results."

"Tracking failed!"

Tony glanced at the latest news about Justin Hammer on his computer and instantly understood Ivan Vanko's plan, so he stopped waiting to be killed.

"Jarvis, assemble the armor immediately!"

"Sir, the weapon system has not yet been tested."

"The opportunity for on-site testing has arrived!"

······

Scenes from the Stark Expo.

At this time, a large number of guests arrived at the main exhibition hall. Happy drove Natasha and Pepper Potts to the venue.

At that moment, the announcer's voice came from the hall. "Justin Hammer's presentation is about to begin in the main hall."

Pepper Potts and Natasha took their seats in the front row and began to wait for Hammer Industries ' presentation. Pepper Potts was very interested in Hammer's products.

Suddenly, music started playing, and Justin Hammer opened the show with a dance to the rhythm.

Seeing these similar yet different entrances, Pepper Potts thought to herself: Is this guy really not a fan of Tony? Why does he have to copy everything he does?

Upon reaching center stage, the music stopped, and Justin Hammer began his speech. After a brief mockery of Tony's reluctance to part with publicly available technology, he got to the point. "Ladies and gentlemen, today I will introduce you to a brand new face in the United States. military."

"Hammer Iron Soldiers!"

As Justin finished speaking, a video of soldiers from the army, navy, and air force appeared in the background behind him.

"Army Hammer Drones!"

"Naval Hammer Drones!"

"Air Force Hammer Drones!"

"Hammer Drones the Army and Navy!"

As each column of 25 Hammer Drones appeared, the applause never stopped. Congressman Stern, sitting in the front row, had a big smile on his face, and the general from the military procurement department also nodded in satisfaction.

While Justin was giving a speech on stage, Ivan Vanko was secretly and rapidly activating the soldiers on the platform in the factory.

"Finally, please welcome the first prototype, the Total Threat Response Battle Armor, and its pilot— Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes!"

As Justin finished speaking, the modified Mark II appeared on the platform.

Seeing Rhodey run out to Hammer, Pepper Potts in the audience exclaimed in surprise.

This thing belongs to Tony. It was Tony who stopped Charlotte, saving her life. What is this? This is blatant betrayal.

In that instant, Pepper Potts's gaze toward Rhodey also turned hostile.

Just as Hammer was about to continue his presentation, a whooshing sound came from high above, and the next second Tony arrived on the scene in his latest Iron Man Armor.

Looking at the numerous Hammer Drones before him, Tony had to admit, "This is a huge problem."

Rhodey quickly explained, "Tony, there are civilians here. I'm just following orders. Don't start a fight here."

Tony walked over to Rhodey and said, "Wave to them!"

"Everyone is in danger right now, we have to find a way to get them out, you have to trust me now."

Rhodey waved his hand and said, "I tried, and I got a really bad beating at your house."

"That's good. I think it's good that he's working with Ivan Vanko."

Upon hearing this name, Rhodey asked in surprise, "Vanko is still alive?"

"Yes!"

Tony walked up to Justin and asked, "Where is he? Where is Ivan Vanko?"

"Who?"

"Tell me!"

Justin feigned ignorance and said, "What are you doing here, buddy?"

Just as the two were talking, Rhodey ' Mark II was also tampered with; the device was instantly completely hacked and locked.

The Gatling Gun gun on Rhodey' back instantly started firing, aiming at Tony's armor.

Rhodey shouted, "I can't move! My access is locked!"

"Get out of here! He's taken control of the entire system!"

At this moment, all the Hammer Drones on the display stand raised their arms, making a firing motion.

The audience members present immediately realized something was wrong upon seeing what was happening, screamed, and ran outside.

Seeing that it was too late to evacuate the civilians, Tony flew into the sky and shouted, "Let's fight outside!"
