Gaze from Asgard

"Mm, we'll discuss this project later."

"For now, your purpose is to explore every secret within this body."

"In short, Professor Connors, this laboratory is yours from now on. Remember not to let anyone else enter. If anyone tries to force their way in, call for me loudly."

This laboratory was very important to Peter, so he gave Connors those instructions with utmost seriousness.

"Oh, and if you need any experimental equipment or materials, just let me know. Even if you need the Statue of Liberty, I can move it here for you immediately."

After saying that, Peter slowly walked toward the metal door and shifted it open again with one hand, but he did not close it afterward. Connors would need to enter and leave the laboratory in the future, after all.

"Damn it. I'm a billionaire, the greatest scientific genius in the world, and I've actually fallen to this point."

The moment he opened the door, Peter heard Tony muttering nonstop as he cleaned with his tools.

Ignoring Tony's complaints, Peter left Connors behind and slowly rose free from the pull of gravity, preparing to leave.

"Hey, this guy actually forgot to close the door!"

As he continued cleaning, Tony glanced from the corner of his eye at the monster's frozen body inside the laboratory.

"Tony Stark, remember to tell everyone else that aside from Professor Connors, no one is allowed near that laboratory. Otherwise, they'll bear the consequences."

Just as Tony secretly rejoiced and considered sneaking into the laboratory alone to take a look at the monster's body while everyone else was resting, Peter's stern warning instantly shattered his fantasy.

Bang!

The next moment, the Ice Cave's metal door closed once more, and a faint sonic boom drifted inside.

"What kind of shady secret research is this guy having that Connors conduct?"

Watching Connors arrange the various experimental facilities according to his own habits, Tony grew even more curious.

"Hm? Someone's watching me?"

As Peter flew rapidly through the air toward home, he suddenly felt someone's gaze upon him.

He immediately stopped flying and used Super Vision to scan his surroundings before looking toward the sky.

"Not a satellite. Then what is it?"

Almost instantly, Peter ruled out the possibility that humans were monitoring him with advanced technology.

"Could it be... that bald woman?"

Peter suddenly remembered a powerful being on Earth who sported the distinctive hairstyle of an influential figure.

"But why would she monitor me? Even if I disrupted the Sacred Timeline of the universe, the TVA should be the ones coming to arrest me."

"Forget it. Even if it is her, so what? I'm not some Superman who can be easily defeated by simple magic."

As a Superman without any weaknesses, Peter's magical resistance was now just as unbelievably powerful as his physical resistance.

With that thought, Peter stopped worrying and instantly accelerated.

Only after Peter had flown a huge circle through the air and passed several countries did he no longer feel that sensation of being watched.

At the same time, in Asgard, the divine realm that was one of the Nine Realms alongside Earth.

Heimdall, guardian of the Bifrost, quickly withdrew his gaze, which could perceive all things in the Nine Realms.

"This human has such powerful senses... When did Midgard gain such a powerful being?"

However, his already cold expression became even more solemn.

"Heimdall... my friend, are you there? Quickly, help me open the Bifrost!"

Just as Heimdall was pondering when such a powerful being had appeared on Earth.

A voice suddenly rang out beside him, interrupting his thoughts.

The next moment, without any hesitation, Heimdall directly inserted the silver sword in his hand into the Bifrost's activation mechanism.

In an instant, silver lightning illuminated the entire device.

The Bifrost, which connected all of Asgard, burst into incomparably brilliant light. Multicolored energy flowed continuously within it, like a rainbow ribbon spanning the entire galaxy as it gathered toward the end of the Bifrost.

An incomparably vast amount of energy erupted from the beak-shaped device at the end of the Bifrost, forming a multicolored pillar of light that directly stretched across the enormous Nine Realms.

Whoosh!

As the Bifrost successfully opened, several figures appeared in Asgard amid its multicolored radiance. Along with them came the corpse of a massive monster.

"Haha! We warriors of Asgard are invincible!"

The moment they appeared, they raised their bloodstained weapons and cheered wildly.

The enormous monster's body was clearly their trophy.

Among them stood a burly man wearing a winged silver helmet and silver metal armor, with long golden hair.

He slowly walked over to Heimdall, patted him on the shoulder, then asked in confusion, "Heimdall, you hesitated just now. Why?"

"I saw a powerful new god appear in Midgard."

Facing Odin's Son, Asgard's future heir to the throne, the mighty God of Thunder Thor—and also Heimdall's best friend.

Heimdall did not hide what he had seen.

"A powerful new god appeared in Midgard? How is that possible? I went there only a few centuries ago. The humans there were incredibly weak."

"Even as a child, I could easily defeat hundreds of them!"

Naturally, the arrogant Thor did not believe Heimdall's words.

"Moreover, back then, those ignorant people worshipped me as the great God of Thunder, and they still do even now!"

Thor, holding the silver Mjolnir in his hand, scoffed at Heimdall's words.

It was not that he looked down on humans. Humans simply were far too weak compared to Asgardian warriors.

To humans, powerful Asgardians were like omnipotent gods.

"Thor, several centuries have passed since the All-Father Odin ordered that no one was to set foot in Midgard freely."

"The human realm has undergone earth-shaking changes. They have developed technology at a rapid pace and mastered a certain weapon filled with destructive power."

"They no longer worship gods, and they no longer need our protection."

Heimdall had naturally witnessed humanity's rapid development in its entirety.

"Especially recently, an incomparably powerful being has appeared among humanity. All humans call him—the God Among Men!"

Heimdall's expression was incomparably grave. There was one thing he did not say aloud: within that human, he had seen power comparable to that of the All-Father Odin.

"God Among Men?"

Thor repeated the words, his expression brimming with surging battle intent.
