Inside the Delicious Kitchen.
Charlotte sat on the left side of the table, while Sena sat opposite Charlotte. The table was already laden with food.
Gilgamesh walked over with an apple pie and placed it on the table.
"The last dish is done."
Charlotte smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality."
Gilgamesh took a wine jug from the table beside him and then spoke:
"This is a mixture of wine, beer, and mead, made for the soldiers of the Toroi War."
Charlotte looked at the antique-style wine jug and nodded, saying, "It looks quite nice."
Gilgamesh took out a drink from the side and placed it in front of Charlotte, saying:
"This is the secret brew that Odin taught me, a token of gratitude for our victory over Laufey's army at Tønsberg."
Listening to Gilgamesh's explanation, Charlotte picked up a glass, poured herself a drink, and took a sip.
"It is indeed Asgard brew; I've tasted it there before."
"I never expected you could brew it; it's truly excellent."
"But there's something you definitely don't know."
Gilgamesh confusion, "What news?"
Laufey is dead. You'd never guess who killed him.
While enjoying her food, Sena watched the two talking, but her gaze was mostly focused on Charlotte Doyle.
After thinking for a moment, Gilgamesh said uncertainly, "Could it be that you did it?"
Charlotte held up a finger and shook it, saying, "NO, NO, NO!"
"Could it be that little Thor?"
Charlotte continued shaking her finger, saying, "No, keep thinking."
"Could it be Odin? But that shouldn't be the case. He signed the peace treaty himself. If he wanted to kill Laufey, he should have done so when the war was won, instead of just taking the Frostmourne."
Charlotte laughed and said, "Think about it again?"
"I can't figure it out, just tell me the answer."
Seeing that Gilgamesh was indeed unpredictable, Charlotte slowly uttered two words: "Loki!"
"My God, Loki?"
"How could he kill Laufey? That's impossible."
Charlotte shrugged and spread her arms wide, saying, "But that's the reality. Loki killed Laufey with his own hands."
Gilgamesh murmured, "I still can't believe it. I still can't understand how Loki killed Laufey."
Seeing Gilgamesh still deep in thought, Charlotte didn't give him the answer, but instead looked at Sena opposite him.
"Sena, which dish do you think I should start with?"
Sena said of this dish, "You can try this dish first, and then this one. These dishes are all relatively light and won't change your palate."
"Then try these; Gilgamesh's cooking is still excellent."
"OK."

On the other side.
In the vast expanse of space, Thanos looked at the man kneeling before him and spoke calmly:
"Son of Odin"
"Since you want Earth, I can help you, but I have one condition: you must give me Earth's Tesseract."
Loki looked at Thanos, who sat Thanos on the Throne, and made his own request. "I need an army to conquer Earth."
Thanos snapped his the Snap, and the leader of the Chitauri emerged from the shadows.
"The Chitauri Army will help you, and will help you agree to the war of invasion against Earth."
Loki had heard of the Chitauri Army space pirates before, and a smile appeared on his face when he heard that they would be helping him.
"With the help of the Chitauri Army, I believe there will be no problem in conquering the earth, but I want to have control of this army."
Thanos looked down at Loki, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "If you bring me the Tesseract, I will hand over this army to you in complete command."
When the Chitauri army leader heard that Thanos wanted to hand over the army to Loki, he did not object at all and stood respectfully to the side.
Unlike Loki's ignorance, Thanos clearly knew that Earth was not so simple, and then with a wave of his hand, Scepter inlaid with the Mind Stone appeared in his hand.
"To enable you to better rule the earth and win this war, I will bestow upon you ancient knowledge and this Scepter."
"Once you have this knowledge, begin your operation."
"Yes!"
Watching Loki leave, Thanos gazed into the depths of space. Regarding the Infinity Stones, aside from the Mind Stone in his hand, he already knew that the Space Stone and Time Stone both existed on Earth, while the Reality Stone's secret was related to Asgard. The Power Stone and Soul Stone, however, remained unconfirmed.
Thanos looked towards Earth in the vastness of space and murmured, "The time isn't right yet. Let Loki test Earth's capabilities first."
"As long as Odin is alive and the Ancient One is not destroyed, that place remains one of the few forbidden zones in the universe."
Considering Asgard's lifespan, Odin's days are probably numbered. Without the Infinity Stones to cleanse Living Planet one by one, this pace is just too slow...
I'm still young, I have plenty of time to wait, I can outlast them...

Delicious Kitchen.
"Charlotte, you said earlier that you are not Eternals. Could you tell me about your origins?"
"Such immense power must not belong to an ordinary person."
Charlotte waved her hand, Merlin's Staff appeared in her grasp.
"I am Prime Merlinian, the God of Ninjas does not belong to this world, the supreme master of magic."
Gilgamesh was taken aback by Charlotte's introduction. He didn't know what the God of Ninjas was, nor had he ever heard of this god's name, but Merlin knew about the legend of him.
"Heavens, you inherited everything from Merlin and became the Prime Merlinian. No wonder you are so powerful."
"We all thought Merlin had gone to travel among the stars, but we never expected that he would leave behind a legacy on Earth."
Charlotte smiled, then looked at Gilgamesh, "Sena has awakened. How about you spar with me later?"
"I still have many powerful abilities that I haven't used yet."
Charlotte was also filled with curiosity, wondering which secret Ninjutsu could break through their defenses.
Upon hearing that he would be fighting, Gilgamesh for a moment and then agreed.
"I can spar with you, but what if I get hurt?"
Neither Sena nor I have the ability to heal others.
Charlotte stretched out her palm and immediately used the Mystical Palm Technique.
"I have healing abilities; even if I hurt you, I can heal you quickly."
Looking at the green energy in Charlotte's hand, Gilgamesh and said, "What I'm actually worried about is you. What will happen if you get injured?"
Hearing the other person's concern for her injury, Charlotte felt somewhat helpless, but still said, "I'm not as fragile as you think."
Seeing Charlotte's insistence, Gilgamesh asked, "Alright!"
"When will it start?"
Charlotte laughed, "Now then, it's perfect for some exercise after dinner."
Sena then spoke up, "In that case, I will be your referee."
Soon the three of them emerged from the Delicious Kitchen and arrived at a desolate open space in the distance.
At this moment, Sena stood between the two and said, "I will throw the silk scarf into the air in a moment. When the silk scarf lands, your sparring will begin."
"Okay!" x2
Sena took a white silk scarf from her bosom and tossed it high into the air in front of the two of them.
At this moment, Gilgamesh and Charlotte Doyle stared intently at the silk scarf in the air, watching it slowly fall from their empty hands.
The instant the scarf hit the ground, Charlotte pushed off with her right leg, causing the ground beneath her feet to crack instantly. She herself rushed forward like a gust of wind, her speed creating a sonic boom.
Gilgamesh did not rush towards Charlotte. Instead, he raised his right arm and used his divine power to conjure a golden arm guard, which he then donned.
At the same time, I thought to myself: I've used only 10% of my strength in this punch; he should be able to take it.
In the blink of an eye, Charlotte appeared in front of Gilgamesh, his right fist raised high, with visible deep blue Chakra clinging to it.
"Strength of a Hundred!"
Seeing Charlotte swing her fist at him, Gilgamesh also threw a punch, and the two fists collided, generating a huge shockwave.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, Gilgamesh was blasted away by Charlotte like a missile.
With nothing blocking his way, Gilgamesh flew a great distance before crashing into a small hill behind him and finally coming to a stop.
Gilgamesh, thinking that one-tenth of his power would be enough, but he did not expect Charlotte's punch to be so powerful.
Gilgamesh was smashed into the mountainside, leaving a large, human-shaped hole.
As the smoke cleared Gilgamesh emerged from the cave, dusting himself off.
But the moment their fists collided, Gilgamesh sensed something was wrong, but his outstretched fist didn't have time to exert force again, and he was sent flying by his opponent.
"It seems I underestimated you; your power doesn't seem like that of Mage at all."
Charlotte used her Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Gilgamesh and said, "Since this is a sparring match, show me your true strength. The power you displayed just now is not worthy of your reputation, Gilgamesh."
Gilgamesh clasped his hands in a fist and said, "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
Charlotte and Gilgamesh clashed, their fists clashing against each other.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Their punches always produced a loud booming sound and a strong shockwave.
During their battle, the rocks surrounding the mountain were all reduced to dust by the shockwave.
Gilgamesh laughed, "Hahaha, that's great!"
At this moment, Charlotte had used all her strength in her Strength of a Hundred, with every punch and kick possessing the ability to split mountains and shatter rocks.
Sena, watching Charlotte Doyle in battle, felt a surge of desire to join the fray.
Over the years, plagued by the Eternal Madness, he has never fought in his lucid moments. Watching the two sparring, he also wanted to join the fight.
You must know that Sena is the guardian of Athena in Olympus, the goddess of war, and how could she not be warlike?
Charlotte frowned slightly as she watched Gilgamesh block all of her Strength of a Hundred. Could it be that this guy hadn't even used his full power yet?
Seeing this, Charlotte did a backflip and said, "Gilgamesh, I'm about to use my full power."
Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Gilgamesh's expression turned serious. He hadn't expected that Charlotte Doyle wouldn't use her full strength even under such circumstances. It seemed that half of her power was far from enough. In that case, he would have to be more serious as well.
Charlotte, however, was prepared to abandon his Strength of a Hundred and instead use another technique. He clenched his fists and gave a low shout:
"Eight Inner Gates - Gate of Opening! Open!"
As the first gate Gate of Opening, Charlotte's Chakra materialized and began to swirl around her.
"Eight Inner Gates - Gate of Healing, Open!"
"Eight Inner Gates - Gate of Life, Open!"
Charlotte opened three gates in succession, and the veins on her forehead began to bulge. A large amount of Chakra surged from her body, creating a green Chakra whirlwind. Powerful gales appeared around her, and the rocks on the mountain instantly shattered wherever the gales passed.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh's expression became even more solemn, and he increased his original plan to use only 60% of his power to 70%.
However, Charlotte didn't stop there; she continued opening other doors.
"Eight Inner Gates - Gate of Pain, Open!"
"Eight Inner Gates - Gate of Limit, Open!"
"Eight Inner Gates - Gate of View, Open!"
At this moment, Charlotte's face had turned crimson, and the veins on her forehead were bulging. Green Chakra steam surrounded her entire body, making her look like a ferocious beast.
"Dynamic Entry!"
Charlotte unleashed a powerful flying kick at Gilgamesh, sending him flying through the air.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
After kicking him away, Charlotte didn't stop and unleashed a three-stage attack on Gilgamesh with a powerful whirlwind.
Charlotte's terrifying power immediately revealed Gilgamesh's plan, and he was suddenly overwhelmed by Charlotte.
However, after four consecutive attacks, Charlotte discovered that her opponent, aside from being somewhat disheveled, hadn't suffered any real damage. She blocked without holding back, roaring:
"The Morning Peacock!"
The green Chakra shockwave sent Gilgamesh flying, while Charlotte leaped into the air, rapidly swinging her fists. Flames were generated from the friction, and the punches, carrying a gust of wind, rained down on Gilgamesh like missiles, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
The flames that scattered from the fist dyed the sky red, as bright as the sunrise, as dazzling as a peacock's tail feathers.
Watching this scene, Sena murmured, "What beautiful boxing."
At this moment, Gilgamesh was knocked into the ground by Charlotte's attack, and a huge crater was punched into the ground. The flying flames fell around him like meteorites.
