Eat Your Damn Donuts! / Update Schedule Change and Bonus Chapter

"Excuse me, what time and where did you faint?"

Dr. Jane pressed her throbbing temples, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice.

"Just yesterday, in an abandoned building..."

"The gravity and spatial rules there are strange, as if forming something like a spatial wormhole..."

"After I came into contact with it, I vaguely felt myself being transported to a pitch-black world, filled with strange architectural ruins, one of which was flashing a very eerie red light..."

Kevin stopped taking notes and frowned slightly.

"Did you touch that red light?"

Dr. Jane nodded awkwardly. Scientists like them should know best the rules about not touching things recklessly, but they always couldn't control their curiosity.

"After the contact, it felt like something burrowed into my body, and I passed out. When I woke up, I was outside an abandoned building..."

"Because the situation was so strange, I went to a private clinic for a full-body checkup, but they found nothing unusual."

"But for some reason, I always feel very tired, and I have a bad feeling..."

That's right, Tony passed the message to Kevin precisely because he had investigated Dr. Jane's treatment records at her private clinic.

According to Kevin's understanding, if he remembers correctly, the red light that Dr. Jane encountered in the dark world when she traveled through the Space Wormhole was the ether particle possessed by the Dark Elves in the Nine Realms.

Of course, this thing also has another name— the Reality Stone!

Aether particles can reside in a host's body and absorb its life force. Dr. Jane's current listless state is clearly a side effect of being inhabited by ether particles.

But another problem arises: according to the original storyline, once Dr. Jane is possessed by the Aether, its reality-distorting properties would prevent Heimdall, the Guardian God General of Asgard, from observing her.

As Thor's friend and the person entrusted by Thor to look after Dr. Jane, Heimdall will pass this message on to Thor immediately.

So, Thor will also descend to Earth when Dr. Jane appears outside the abandoned building to investigate the reason for her "disappearance".

However, Dr. Jane has not yet seen her lover Thor she has not seen for two years.

It seems very likely that Asgard is in trouble now!

Kevin frowned deeply, pondered for a moment, wrote down his guess, closed the notebook, put the pen in his pocket, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Dr. Jane, there's been a recent event in Idaho involving a Spatial Rift. Your old partner, Dr. Erik, may have told you about it."

"This is no small matter, and based on your description, that abandoned building could very well be a new spatial node..."

This half-truthful statement, supported by irrefutable facts, instantly made Dr. Jane, who had weathered many storms, take it seriously, and she couldn't help but nod and frown.

"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

Kevin was quite satisfied with Thor's girlfriend's reaction and nodded slightly.

"Please take me to that abandoned building area first; I want to get more clues."

"Furthermore, this matter might be related to the Celestial Palace..."

"Okay! I'll go to the garage and drive right now!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Jane became even more enthusiastic and changed into a ladylike outfit before leaving.

However, judging from her decisive and efficient approach to things, and the powerful and swift movements she makes while carrying dozens of kilograms of scientific monitoring equipment, she deserves our respect as a "tough woman."

Of course, as a partner, Kevin appreciates this kind of teammate.

"By the way, you're from New York? How did you get here?"

In the car, Dr. Jane looked at the empty street in front of the door and Kevin's unworn appearance with some curiosity.

"It flew over..."

Kevin chuckled softly, his words still laced with a mixture of truth and falsehood.

A flight? Looks like he really is a foreign affairs agent, nothing special. Dr. Jane shrugged helplessly, withdrew her curious gaze, and focused on driving.

Kevin, sitting in the back seat, gazed at the receding scenery outside the window, hesitated for a moment, edited a message, then put away his phone and noted down the route.

A dozen minutes later, the two got out of the car and entered the abandoned building one after the other.

Upon arriving at the designated floor, Dr. Jane raised the fluctuating gauges, then crouched down, picked up a pebble, and tossed it into the air outside the railing.

The object disappeared abruptly as it fell, only to fall again moments later, repeating this cycle continuously.

Dr. Jane casually reached out, and the pebble fell into his palm from above during the next descent.

Like a child discovering a new toy, the scientist tossed a pebble to Kevin, raised his eyebrows, and gestured for him to try it himself if he had any doubts.

But as soon as she stepped aside and leaned against the railing, Dr. Jane felt a buzzing in her head, a strong sense of dizziness struck her, and she fell sideways to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Kevin instinctively reached out to help his collaborator.

Unexpectedly, a dark red light shot out from Jane's body and crashed straight into Kevin.

At the same time, a strange, eerie blue light emanated from Kevin's body. As the two collided, the surrounding space twisted and shattered in a bizarre way, and a narrow rift suddenly formed.

Caught off guard, Kevin and the semi-conscious Dr. Jane were sucked into the Spatial Rift.

The man only had time to press the send button on the message bar before he tossed the phone aside and was completely engulfed.

Chapter 854, Section 892: Eat your grandpa's donuts!

New York, Avengers Tower.

After reviewing Sarah Connor's lung cancer recovery progress, Tony was in high spirits and couldn't help but want to donate a few million dollars to the hospital where Sarah was recuperating.

With Pepper's attitude softening recently, the playboy, humming rock 'n' roll, mixed himself a cocktail to celebrate, and continued testing the new generation of armor.

Just then, a message notification sounded on his phone. Tony casually opened his phone, glanced at the message, and his previously nonchalant expression immediately turned serious.

"With the unification of the Nine Worlds imminent, Asgard faces its archenemy. If necessary, the Avengers will assemble at the London Sanctum..."

No way, not again? We've only had a few days of peace?

Tony rubbed his throbbing temples and sent the message to Captain America, Black Widow, and the other two veterans so they could prepare for each other.

Of course, Doctor Strange should be informed that London might become the epicenter of the war.

After completing his preliminary preparations, Tony continued scrolling down the information. After reading the separated second half of the content, his face turned bitter and his lips twitched.

"I may have gotten caught up in the conflicts of the Nine Worlds on this trip and can't get away for the time being. Help me keep those women at home in check, and I'll treat you to donuts when I get back?"

Eat your damn donuts! You've dumped this mess on me again! Do you know how many times I almost got my ribs broken by those tigresses when I tried to cover up your trip to the moon?!

Tony recalled the experience of being entrusted with this task, and it felt as if his chest was aching.

Moreover, according to recent occupancy records at the villa, it seems that a new group of people has arrived.

In addition, old acquaintances of the SCP Foundation have been inquiring about the training situation here, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

It is clear that both sides are aware of each other's existence and actions, and are secretly vying for power in some way.

If your backyard catches fire, don't drag me into it, okay?

Tony felt a bitter taste in his mouth, lamenting his poor choice of friends. But thinking back to the deep affection they had shown each other when they first met, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

So, the originally carefree Iron Man had to rack his brains to figure out how to help Kevin cover up the lie and protect his old friend, while muttering to himself in resentment.

And you still want to eat my ass donuts! We'll settle all the old and new scores together. Don't even think about getting away with this unless you hand over one or two skills that I find acceptable!

Achoo!

At the same time, in front of the passage where the golden gears slowly stopped rotating, Kevin rubbed his itchy nose. Seeing the sharp sword in front of him getting closer, he had no choice but to raise his hands.

"Outsider, why have you trespassed into the Asgardian Realm?"

Heimdall, the guardian of Asgard, wearing a golden bull-horned helmet and with deep, dark eyes, drew his sword and questioned him with a cold expression.

Asgard is connected to the Nine Worlds by the Rainbow Bridge and has a unique defense mechanism, but now it has been broken into by a strange Midgard.

This proves that the current Asgard defense system may have loopholes, and Heimdall, as the first line of defense, must be cautious.

Rumor has it that the Rainbow Bridge was built thanks to the Power of Space of the Rubik's Cube, and Kevin estimates that the previous contact caused the power of the two Infinity Stones to be briefly activated.

Therefore, he and Dr. Jane were transported to Asgard, which was marked by the Rubik's Cube.

But just to be on the safe side, something like the Cosmic Rubik's Cube couldn't be shown to others easily, so Kevin could only pretend to be clueless and quickly shook his head in confusion.

Fortunately, Dr. Jane had already woken up by this time. The familiar scenery in front of her made her murmur with surprise.

"This is... Asgard? Thor's hometown?"

Dr. Jane realized that her presence here was somewhat strange, and that the Guardian God had already become wary of her.

She then briefly explained the recent strange situation, taking responsibility upon herself and stepping in to help Kevin out of the predicament.

He only just noticed this woman! It's strange, as if she's been erased from reality.

Heimdall glanced at Dr. Jane, frowned slightly, his guard lowered somewhat, and he put down his sword in contemplation.

"The Frost Giants have rebelled, and Surtur, the legendary Fire Giant who will bring Ragnarok, has also awakened."

"Thor is currently suppressing rebellions and is not in Asgard. If you're looking for him, you'll be disappointed."

No wonder Thor didn't appear on Earth in time; the giants are causing trouble again? And some things seem to have happened ahead of schedule.

Kevin carefully considered the message Heimdall conveyed, comparing it with the known script, to assess the situation.

Then, the Guardian God pondered for a moment, inserted the longsword into the mechanism of the remote-controlled rainbow bridge, and turned it slightly.

"Recently, the Celestial Palace's patrol teams have been repeatedly attacked by unknown forces, and the situation is very tense. In order to avoid being mistaken for spies, we suggest you leave as soon as possible."

"Jane, right? You should know His Majesty's attitude..."

Out of consideration for his friend Thor, Heimdall clearly showed mercy, willing to simply Door Opening the door and see him out, not wanting Thor's girlfriend to get involved in the conflict.

At the same time, this Guardian God also reveals another piece of information: Thor's father, Odin, clearly does not want his son's queen to be an ordinary person.

However, this disrupted Kevin's plans to stay and investigate the situation in Asgard, and at the same time, the aether particles within Dr. Jane's body could kill her at any moment.

Only in the Asgardian Realm could Jane possibly come into contact with Malekith, the Dark Elves King who could extract Aether particles.

"Okay, let's go now."

Kevin nodded in agreement, but his gaze toward Dr. Jane held a strange hint of apology.

There was no other way; time was of the essence. After secretly reinforcing the seal of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube in the imaginary Imaginary Space layer by layer, the man casually patted Dr. Jane on the shoulder.

You bastard, you must have done it on purpose! Jane felt the surging power within her, rolled her eyes, and immediately fainted.

At the same time, a dark red light spread from her body, and even Heimdall, who had already relaxed his guard, was thrown backward by the shockwave and crashed into the golden, intricately carved wall.

To avoid being exposed, Kevin, after faking a fall, stood up and pretended to look surprised.

Before the instigator could speak, Heimdall, who had regained his balance, changed his expression and immediately pulled out a horn from the side of the mechanism and blew it loudly.

Instantly, a long and desolate horn sound resounded throughout Asgard, and in just a moment, a group of Asgard warriors clad in armor and wearing horned helmets surrounded the Rainbow Bridge.

The two, one unconscious and one conscious, were immediately escorted by the Asgard soldiers to the Temple of Valhalla in Asgard.

On the golden throne, the one-eyed father of the Aesir gods, holding his scepter, rose and descended the steps.

The imposing old man, though not angry, turned over Dr. Jane's arm on the stretcher and looked at the dark red light shimmering beneath her skin. His expression gradually darkened.

That's right, Dark Elves, Aether particles!

"Immediately notify Thor to return to Asgard!"

Odin slammed his scepter to the ground, Heimdall stepped forward, knelt in the courtyard, and immediately accepted the order by beating his chest.

So, what should be done with these two outsiders who have intruded into the Celestial Palace? The God-King's sharp single eye swept over, and Kevin smiled politely.

"Fandral, before this girl wakes up, find a house to settle her in. Keep an eye on things..."

Odin narrowed his eyes and made his decision. Kevin reluctantly raised his hand and was escorted to his "cell".
