The Nine-Star Alignment Begins

A randomly appearing spatial rift sucked Xia Yu and Malekith into Muspelheim, the Muspelheim, the place where Thor was at the beginning of Thor: Ragnarok.

Thor defeated Surtur, the ruler of the Muspelheim. Later, in order to defeat Hela, Loki threw his crown into the Eternity Flame. Surtur, empowered by the Eternity Flame, destroyed Asgard, which is the Ragnarok.

Xia Yu never expected to fall into this place; it was filled with red lava and flames, and he recognized it at a glance.

It was this appearance of the spatial rift that allowed Malekith to break free from Xia Yu's relentless attacks and officially begin his counterattack.

Unfortunately, his counterattacks were not very effective against Xia Yu.

Malekith, who uses the Reality Stone as a weapon, is like Xia Yu, who absorbs the energy of the Infinity Stones, but he doesn't fully utilize the power of the stones.

Although the Aether are inside Malekith's body, the indestructible nature of the Infinity Stones makes him nearly invincible in defense, but his offensive power is insufficient when facing Xia Yu.

Unless Xia Yu keeps him attacking a single point, but Xia Yu isn't stupid, and besides, with his foundation in Chinese martial arts, Xia Yu's combat awareness and movement techniques far surpass Malekith's. Xia Yu could hit him seven or eight times and Xia Yu might not even land a single hit on Xia Yu.

This resulted in a very heated fight between the two, but neither could gain the upper hand.

The two fought in the Realm of Fire for a full minute before disappearing and reappearing on Earth.

This time, they were high in the sky, and the two of them didn't care where they were; they were still fighting each other in close quarters.

A few seconds later, the two reappeared on the Thames River. The instant they fell into the water, they found themselves on an open lawn.

The spatial distortion is getting more and more serious; the Nine-Star Alignment is imminent.

The entire Greenwich District was in chaos.

Tony was kiting a Kurse, keeping himself within the warrior's widest attack range and occasionally throwing in a ranged attack – a classic case of kiting within the enemy's aggro range.

Falcon locked onto the Kurse and fired a micro- Missile.

Just as it was about to hit the target, the Missile disappeared into the air.

On the Captain's side, although he was facing a one-armed Kurse, he was still knocked away several times due to the overwhelming strength of the Captain. Hawkeye and Natasha were also there to hold him back from the outside.

Just as the Kurse was about to unleash another powerful punch, the Captain quickly raised his shield to defend. However, before the Kurse's arm could even touch the shield, a Missile appeared out of nowhere and struck the shield.

The Captain and the one-armed Kurse were both blasted far away.

Hawkeye fired an arrow.

It struck Tony's Armor with a 'clang!'

Thankfully, it wasn't an arrow that exploded.

The Hulk, growing stronger with each battle, was suppressing a Kurse when suddenly a thick Flash shot out from the void to the left, sending the Hulk flying.

Hulk threw a car that suddenly hit Xia Yu.

Such incidents kept occurring, and in any case, both sides were quite frustrated with this battle.

Xia Yu felt like he'd wandered onto the wrong set. This wasn't Thor: The Dark World; this was clearly Doctor Strange!

This kind of battlefield is perfect for the mages of Kamar-Taj.

If they were to actually fight, this level of chaos might not even be enough.

Xia Yu was getting a little annoyed. He even risked taking two more hits from Malekith to secretly open a small portal on Malekith's neck, with the other end in the sky not far away.

As a result, a ring of dark red energy appeared around Malekith's neck, directly negating the formation of the portal.

As expected, it has no effect on those who possess the Infinity Stones.

Furthermore, the system warned Xia Yu that it was best not to use the teleportation portal in the current state of spatial distortion.

If we encounter a spatial rift, we don't know what unknown effects it might have.

"Thor, where have you been? Why did your opponent suddenly appear behind me?"

Tony's complaining voice came through the earphones.

He was suddenly attacked by another Kurse, and if he hadn't run fast, he would have been surrounded by both of them.

"I don't know where I am. I'm on the subway, and I'm three stops away from Greenwich."

Thor's voice came through the headphones again.

With a new opponent suddenly appearing, Tony's pressure has increased significantly, and in this situation, Falcon's help is minimal.

Fortunately, a sudden roar appeared, Hulk appeared beside Tony, blocking a Kurse.

"Hulk, where's your own opponent?" Tony shouted.

"Roar! Hulk doesn't know!"

Well, as the game progressed, both the opponent and the teammate were reduced to one.

Chaos, utter chaos.

Just now, a huge monster suddenly appeared out of nowhere; I have no idea what it was.

The clever Falcon lured the Kurse to its side immediately, but unfortunately, the warrior was easily defeated.

This situation isn't limited to Earth; people in several other countries are also suffering immensely.

For example, in the Muspelheim that Xia Yu just visited, one of the two horns on the crown of the Fire Lord Surtur had a tire hanging from it, and the other had a woman's underwear hanging from it.

Finally, eight enormous wormholes appeared high in the sky. Because they appeared in different locations in different worlds—some in forests, some in oceans—they looked like eight big holes overhead, colorful and quite beautiful.

As soon as the wormholes appeared overhead, Xia Yu felt Malekith's attack frequency increase significantly. Xia Yu knew that when these wormholes were about to connect in a line, he had to create an opening.

Give Malekith a chance to retrieve the Aether from directly beneath the wormhole.

He wanted to transform all Nine Realms into Dark World, which required extracting the Aether from his body. Xia Yu absolutely loved this concept.

Being absorbed into the body is a passive skill; to use active skills, you must summon it, and the skill casting time is extremely long. Isn't that just suicidal?

To be honest, Malekith's use of the Aether was not wrong, because using the Infinity Stones in this way would create an energy field around him, and the energy field of the Infinity Stones is not something that ordinary people can enter.

However, this definitely does not include Xia Yu, who possesses the power of two Infinity Stones. As for how Thor got in during the movie, we can only say it was due to the protagonist's halo.

Several wormholes from different aspects finally began to slowly overlap and merge.

The spatial rifts were increasing, and the several wormholes above were slowly merging together. Xia Yu even felt a slight change in gravity.

Malekith's expression grew increasingly tense.

Finally, with Xia Yu deliberately holding back, another heavy punch sent Xia Yu flying far away.

Xia Yu was looking for an excuse not to pursue them yet, such as helping the Captain kill that one-armed Kurse first.

As a result, a spatial rift appeared, and Xia Yu disappeared.

This time, Xia Yu appeared in Niflheim.

That is, the Realm of the Dead among the Nine Realms, the legendary Hell.

In truth, with Xia Yu's strength, going to Hell wouldn't matter; the key was the woman standing in front of him.

Hela, the Death God.
