Retreat and Conclusion (Two-in-One)

Seeing the enemy suddenly retreat, a Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't immediately stop them. Instead, he ran out of his car and went to Natasha's vehicle to ask:

"Agent Natasha, are you injured?"

Natasha saw the arriving special agents and opened the car door. During the recent confrontation, she was genuinely worried that someone on the other side might pull out a heavy weapon or an RPG, otherwise she would have been in danger.

Fortunately, the assassins who carried out the attack did not have any heavy weapons stored in the hotel.

"I'm not injured. Did you bring the search warrant?"

"They've arrived!"

"Good!"

As Natasha stepped out of the vehicle, 27 agents from three tactical teams of S.H.I.E.L.D.. also disembarked from the armored vehicle.

The assassins who had been watching the commotion inside the hotel changed their expressions when they saw the fully armed agents, as if the group that had attacked earlier had gotten themselves into serious trouble.

Natasha led a fully armed special agent team toward the Continental Hotel.

At this moment, the hotel doorman, seeing Natasha and her group approaching, spoke with great firmness:

"Hotel Rules are inviolable."

Charlotte Doyle's existence and the hotel's Rules, which have been in place since its inception, are what give him the courage to speak these words, even in the face of government violence.

Natasha glanced at the doorman who was speaking, raised an eyebrow, and ignored him.

As Natasha entered the hotel, she looked at the numerous assassins inside. In their eyes, she saw greed, amusement, mockery, and violence, but she saw no fear—fear of the government's violent institutions.

Natasha, accompanied by a group of agents, arrived at the hotel's front desk and said to Eddie, "Call your manager, Winston, down here."

Winston knew about the conflict between the assassin and Natasha the moment it occurred, but he did not intervene. Instead, he let things unfold as they would, regardless of whether the other party managed to keep their belongings or not.

But things took an unexpected turn; the other party turned out to be a government agent, though he didn't know which department.

Upon the arrival of the special agent team, Winston immediately reported everything that had happened to Ginny, the secretary of Charlotte, the High Table Elders.

Winston then came down the stairs and stood before Natasha:

"May I ask what brings this young lady, a special agent, to our hotel?"

Seeing Winston's composed demeanor, Natasha felt a sense of approval for Charlotte's subordinates, who showed no sign of panic despite the presence of a government-controlled force.

Many underground figures, no matter how brutal and powerful they were before, are terrified when they encounter government agencies, and some are even so frightened that they can't speak properly.

"I need to see Tony Stark!"

They then produced a search warrant and placed it in front of the other party.

"If I can't see him, then we'll have to search room by room."

When Winston heard that the other party had come for Tony, and glanced at the search warrant in the other party's hand, he thought to himself: Trouble.

While talking to Ginny, he confirmed that Charlotte had indeed left with Tony and the others and was no longer at the hotel. He could only speak with a very serious expression:

"Agent Natasha, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Mr. Tony Stark is not in the hotel."

Seeing the serious look in the other person's eyes, as if they weren't lying, Natasha still spoke:

"In that case, I'll have to search each room one by one, leaving no corner of the entire hotel unsearched."

"Agent Natasha, this is Lord Charlotte's property. Strictly adhering to Lord Charlotte's Rules, searches are not permitted here."

As Winston finished speaking, the atmosphere changed instantly. The assassins who had been sitting and watching the spectacle all stood up and stood behind Winston.

These assassins are not only supporting Winston, but also the Continental Hotel and its true owner, Charlotte Doyle.

If just anyone, with a search warrant of dubious authenticity, could turn the Continental Hotel upside down, then the hotel would have no reason to exist, and they would be a disgrace to Lord Charlotte.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense. Just as Natasha was about to say something forceful, the phone rang.

Natasha frowned slightly when she saw it was her phone, especially since the caller was Director Nick Fury, but she answered the call immediately.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I get it!"

Natasha hung up the phone and then glanced at Winston.

"Consider yourself lucky."

"Retreat!"

After saying a few words, Natasha left the Continental Hotel with the S.H.I.E.L.D.. agents.

Magic World.

Charlotte and the others had already returned to Merlin's Wizard Tower.

With everyone's return, the news of the Magic World successfully repelling the attack from the Hell Dimension spread.

Balthazar arranged for the Magic World to prepare a grand celebration.

Countless little elves were preparing the fine wines and delicacies, as well as the decorations, for the celebration in the plaza in front of the Magic Tower.

Charlotte Doyle stood on the top floor of the Magic Tower, looking down at the bustling crowd. He didn't relax; he knew the challenges ahead would only grow more severe. If a single clone of Mephisto was so troublesome, the enemies to come would be even more terrifying.

Thinking of enemies like Mephisto from the Hell Dimension, Dormammu from the Dark Dimension, the Cyttorak, the Shuma-Gorath, and Thanos Oblivion half of all life, Charlotte knew that improving her strength was now an urgent matter.

Presumably, Thor has already arrived, and the next major Marvel event, Battle of New York, will likely take place within a year at most.

Just as Charlotte was pondering, a portal suddenly appeared out of thin air beside her, and then the Ancient One walked in.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, Charlotte respectfully greeted, "Ancient One!"

"Congratulations on successfully repelling the attack from the Hell Dimension and becoming Prime Merlinian."

"It's all luck. If Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, were to come in his true form, I wouldn't be able to defeat him."

Hearing Charlotte's words, the Ancient One said softly, "No, he came, but he was kept at bay."

With a wave of her hand, a scene appeared before Charlotte: the Ancient One and Odin intercepting Mephisto in the Hell Dimension.

Seeing this, Charlotte understood why only Mephisto's clone had arrived by the end of the battle, while the real Mephisto had not appeared.

However, looking at Odin wielding the Gungnir in the image, Charlotte was still a little confused. Shouldn't he be sleeping in Asgard?

However, thinking back to Thor 1, when Thor and Loki were about to fall into space together, Odin suddenly appeared to save them, so he must be another cunning and scheming guy.

However, Odin's abdication was different from Merlin's and the Ancient One's; he was truly unable to suppress the energy within his body and was nearing the end of his life.

Charlotte didn't dwell on it, but instead showed respect and said:

"Thank you so much, Ancient One and All-Father Odin, for your help!"

Ancient One nodded, then said, "After the banquet, I will take you to Asgard. All-Father Odin, wishes to see you."

Seeing Charlotte Doyle's puzzled expression, the Ancient One said, "This is a good thing for you."

Upon hearing that the Ancient One said it was a good thing, Charlotte seemed thoughtful and then said, "Then I'll have to trouble you Ancient One."

After confirming the trip to Asgard with Charlotte, the Ancient One returned to Kamar-Taj and did not stay to participate in the celebrations.

Asgard

Loki and Thor were locked in a fierce battle on the Bifrost, but in the end Thor struck Loki down with lightning and then placed Mjolnir on Loki, pinning him to the Bifrost.

Having dealt with Loki, Thor looked toward the activation gate of the Bifrost, only to find that the Bifrost's power had been steadily increasing, creating an energy storm that prevented Thor from easily approaching the control room.

Loki, lying on the ground, had tried everything but still couldn't move Mjolnir an inch. Unwilling to give up, Loki taunted, "Look at you, Emergence Thor."

"What use is all your strength now?"

Can you hear me?

"Brother, you can't turn it off at all."

Seeing the Bifrost still bombarding the Jotunheim, Thor knew that if he didn't take action soon, it would be too late.

With a wave of his hand, he retrieved Mjolnir, which had been pressing down on Loki.

Thor picked up Mjolnir and smashed it down hard onto the energy transmission belt of the Bifrost beneath his feet.

With a single blow, cracks immediately appeared on the Bifrost. Not only was Loki stunned, but Odin was also dumbfounded. This good-for-nothing had just smashed his Destroyer Armor, and now he was even about to shatter the Bifrost.

Odin dared not remain asleep; he immediately merged his soul with his body to stop Thor's actions.

Hopefully, it's not too late...

Eighty, eighty, eighty

Seeing that it was working, Thor immediately hammered even harder, creating more cracks on the Bifrost.

Loki, dumbfounded, exclaimed, "What are you doing?"

"If you destroy the bridge, you'll never see her again."

Thor ignored Loki's advice and continued to smash the Bifrost with Mjolnir.

"Forgive me, Jane!"

Seeing Thor acting like a madman, Loki picked up the Gungnir and was about to step forward to stop Thor.

However, Loki was a step too late. Just as he leaped into the air, Thor delivered the final blow that destroyed the Bifrost.

The massive explosion blasted Thor and Loki away, and the control room of the Bifrost was destroyed in the blast.

The massive energy explosion blasted out a Cosmic Abyss Cosmic Abyss, which immediately began to devour everything in its path.

Thor and Loki were blasted away, and as the Bifrost shattered, both fell into the Cosmic Abyss. Even for a being as powerful as the Aesir, falling into it meant almost certain death.

Loki fell from the sky, clutching the Gungnir, while Thor, seeing Loki about to fall, also grabbed the other end of the Gungnir.

However, Thor had nowhere to put his footing and was about to fall into the Cosmic Abyss with Loki. At this critical moment, Odin arrived just in time and grabbed Thor.

Seeing Odin arrive to the rescue, Loki, gripping the Gungnir, spoke:

"Father, I could have done it. I could have destroyed the Jotunheim."

"For you, for us."

Hearing Loki's words, Odin was also extremely frustrated, as things had actually developed to this point, but he still spoke up:

"No, Loki."

Hearing that his actions were not approved by his father, Loki felt despair. Was this the treatment an adopted son received? Just because he wasn't his biological son, Loki then released his grip on the Gungnir and let himself fall into the Cosmic Abyss.

Seeing Loki release his grip on the Gungnir, Thor cried out in anguish, "No, Loki!"

"No!"

As Odin watched Loki fall into the Cosmic Abyss, he was stunned for a moment, then cried out in anguish, "No!"

Seeing Thor still hovering in mid-air, Odin knew he couldn't continue, or his son might let go and fall in as well.

Odin quickly pulled Thor up and took him back to the palace.

······

Magic World.

The grand banquet has now begun.

Charlotte sat in the center of the banquet, receiving constant toasts from the crowd and blessings from the Mage.

Tsunade was standing Tobirama Senju, listening to him recount the various stories that happened when he became Wandering Samurai. She also learned that her great-uncle had formed a Wandering Samurai squad, which included Zabuza Momochi, who wielded the Kubikiribōchō, and Haku, the Ice Release user.

Through communication Tsunade learned that although Tobirama in front of her was her great-uncle, he was not the great-uncle from her original world.

It was a world that progressed differently from her own, and she also learned that Tobirama had not actually come to this world like them, but had only stayed in this world for 24 hours.

Although they were from different worlds, Tsunade still regarded the Wandering Samurai Tobirama Senju her second grandfather, and because of the little time she had left, Tsunade cherished it all the more.

Tobirama took a sip of the wine at the banquet and then said, "Tsunade, it seems that this world still holds considerable danger."

"I can't stay here to protect you, but I hope you can take good care of yourself here and grow up happily."

Looking at her gentle second grandfather, Tsunade smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Grandfather!"

Tony's face was slightly flushed with alcohol. The battle had been a huge shock to him. The endless Demon Army made him realize his own strength and how inadequate he was in the face of such danger.

Tony, holding a jug of liquor, sat down next to Charlotte, took a swig, and said:

"Are such battles frequent in the extraordinary realm?"

Charlotte looked at Tony, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Not frequently, but there are many more wars that are far more dangerous than this."

Tony paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head. "Tomorrow, I'm going back tomorrow."

"My armor needs an upgrade..."

Charlotte picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and said, "Good!"
