Bor: Could You Spare My Face?
What is this Cosmic Rays?
"Anything that's radiation is!"
After receiving a definite reply, Lin Xu instantly narrowed it down to two people.
They truly possess both fearlessness and the experience of having their bodies pierced by radiation.
Captain America's success is not only due to the Super Soldier Serum, but also to his own qualities and the Vita Ray Tank developed by Erskine and Howard.
Later, Bruce Banner replaced the Vita Rays with gamma rays, thus creating the even more fearless Hulk, an absolute warrior who dared to jump into Surtur's face...
Apart from them, all other people who received the Super Soldier Serum did not achieve the same level of fearlessness as the two of them because they omitted the radiation step, although there were also reasons related to their own actions.
However, although the people have been found, aren't their abilities a bit too weak, especially Steve's?
Is he really capable of participating in a battle of this magnitude, capable of destroying the world?
I hope I don't suddenly die...
"In that case, Auntie, I'll be going now?"
Gaia's voice did not come again, indicating that His condition was indeed quite bad.
Lin Xu bid farewell to Odin, left the bottom of the lake, and came to the shore, but did not see the Ancient One. It seemed that she had already returned to Kamar-Taj.
Although he didn't see the Ancient One, he did see two other creatures on the shore.
A lithe Black Panther and a muscular white gorilla are arguing.
The white gorilla snorted and said in a rough voice, "Bast, this isn't your territory. Don't cross the line!"
"Gekrel, be quiet, don't let the Outer Gods laugh at us!"
Black Panther ignored the white gorilla, his gaze fixed on Lin Xu as he surfaced. "Outer God, I remember Gaia has always been protected by the God-King of Asgard. How is He?"
Lin Xu looked at the two beasts and quickly recognized them as the Black Panther god Bast, worshipped by the Wakanda royal family, and the white ape god, worshipped by the M'Baku tribe.
Moreover, hearing the name Gekrel relieved him. As long as it wasn't the Hanuman from the movie adaptation, it was fine. After all, this was the Black Continent. What kind of logic is it to have a tribe from the Black Continent worship the ape god of India?
"Communication is now possible, but the situation is still not good. It's best if you don't disturb Him."
"We understand."
The Black Panther god wagged its tail and asked again, "Are you here to replace Odin? After all, Odin's current condition is probably..."
Lin Xu suddenly realized, "Oh right, Odin is about to die. Who will protect Gaia while he recovers?"
Thor hasn't grown up yet, Zeus has fled to the universe, and the Vanir don't have many strong individuals. We can't just send a few small animals from Wakanda; they can't withstand Chthon.
Ultimately, this crucial task will still fall to Kamar-Taj...
Damn it!
No wonder the Ancient One was in such a hurry to retire; she had so many things to do!
"Not for now, let's wait until my brother dies. Besides, I see that my aunt is recovering. Let's wait until he's gone."
Lin Xu waved his hand and turned to leave. He planned to go home and rest for a couple of days, and also think about how to enhance Captain America and Hulk's survivability.
These days are just too busy...
The Black Panther and the white gorilla were stunned and didn't even realize when Lin Xu had left.
"Gekrel, did you hear that? What did he call Gaia?"
"It seems to be... Auntie?"
"And Odin, he should be calling me 'elder brother,' right?"
Who were Gaia's brothers and sisters again?
"The Chthon; the Snake God Set; the Omnipotent Oshtur."
"But he calls Odin his brother. Who was Odin's father again?"
"King Bor..."
"Hiss!!" ×2
Lin Xu returned to his home in Houston.
Because Tony has bought all the houses in the vicinity and the property management has been changed to Stark Industries, his house is now maintained and cleaned daily, so there is no longer any dust accumulation.
But all the surrounding residents have moved away, and there's not a single person left; it's like a ghost town.
For the next week, he didn't go to Kamar-Taj or the Avengers Compound, completely embracing himself as an ordinary... wealthy man.
Every day, I either convert divine power or go fishing in a wild river. There are lots of Asian carp here, they're fat and big, and they're damn easy to catch.
Although many passersby reminded him that the fish in the river had excessive levels of heavy metals, he completely ignored them.
Forget about heavy metals, just talk to his divine body.
But being disturbed like this all the time wasn't good, so he left Texas and went to Maine of America. It was located in the Northeast, with underdeveloped industry and lots of plump cold-water fish. He planned to stay there for a few more days to relax.
He randomly chose a remote town and began his fishing expedition. While waiting for the fish to bite, he also opened a small door leading to Nidavellir and played online games with Groot.
Then, he served as an air force pilot for two whole days...
"Kid, the fish here don't eat bait; they only eat live prey."
Finally, on the third day, an old man who jogged past the area every morning couldn't stand it anymore.
"Really? I'm not very educated, don't try to fool me."
The old man shook his head, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel. "Of course I know what it's like in other places, but the fish in our Chamberlain won't eat any bait at all."
"Chamberlain? Which Chamberlain?" Lin Xu turned to look at the old man; he felt the name sounded familiar.
"That's definitely not that English Prime Minister who's been involved in the peacekeeping campaign. After all, this town was already called that when my great-grandfather was still alive. And... it's not that NBA player who scored 100 points in a single game either. He's from Philadelphia."
The old man's supposedly humorous remark failed to make Lin Xu laugh.
He looked down into the riverbed, and he was quite curious about the fish that weren't taking the bait.
With the activation of his Heavenly Eye, his gaze passed through the water's surface to the riverbed, continuing downwards until he reached a depth of two hundred meters, where he detected an extremely faint aura.
"Ah, it's Mephisto! No, it's a little different from Mephisto, but it's definitely connected to Hell."
Asgard Valhalla.
A polite yet extremely arrogant voice awakened all the sleeping heroic spirits.
"Mr. Bor, have you slept enough? If you have, get up and take your beating!"
"Who?"
"My name is Agamotto ~"
"We've never crossed paths, why did things come to this!"
"Is that so? Recently, some rumors have been circulating from the Pantheon, saying that you, King Bor, and my mother have given birth to a younger brother for me." (The place where the Black Panther God resides)
"Impossible, I... wait, you said it yourself, it's a rumor."
"I don't care about that. Even though it's a rumor, the source is you, so it's only right that I give you a beating."
"How could this be..." Before Bor could finish speaking, he suddenly remembered the strange Aesir god with his divine halo above his head from a while ago.
Now, it seems like things really can't be explained...
"Um, could you please not slap my face?"
