Take What You Need and Leave

After Lin Feng got what he wanted, his objective immediately changed.

He returned to the center of the temple hall and saw several Asgardian warriors gathered around the motionless Destroyer on the ground, performing some strange ritual.

It looked like they were trying to awaken the Destroyer.

But when Lin Feng arrived, everyone was startled and quickly turned around, pretending not to know anything.

The warriors, upon noticing Lin Feng, immediately turned their conversation into a discussion of what to eat tonight.

Lin Feng slowly walked up to the crowd. He coldly swept his gaze over them, lingering briefly on the still-unconscious Lia before looking away.

It was good that disgusting bastard had not woken up.

"Which one of you is an engineer capable of repairing the Bifrost?"

Lin Feng asked, but everyone remained silent.

Two people in the crowd wanted to step forward, but both were held back by those around them.

"Don't move. This guy might be trying to rebel. Are you going to betray Father Odin?"

Someone beside them whispered, tugging continuously at the engineer's arm.

Lin Feng noticed this immediately. He had no patience to play around with these Asgardian civilians anymore. His goal had been achieved, and these people were no longer of any use to him.

Whoosh!!!

Lin Feng vanished from the spot in an instant. Everyone only saw a fleeting blur.

Then, Lin Feng appeared before the engineer, his face utterly indifferent.

"Y-you... what are you..."

Before he could finish, Lin Feng grabbed his neck and squeezed hard.

Then, before the man even died, several grotesque tentacles burst from Lin Feng's body and devoured him alive.

The sight instantly terrified everyone around him.

"Ahhh!!!!"

"Devil!! He's a devil!!"

"He must have brought the plague! He's the source of the plague!!!"

The last man's words, spoken in panic, were actually correct. He had hit upon the truth.

Lin Feng was the true culprit behind Asgard becoming what it was now.

"What are you shouting about?!! I'm a devil? Hahahaha!!!"

Lin Feng roared, his expression filled with hatred as he looked at the people around him.

He looked as though Asgard had exterminated his entire family.

"Then what are you? A bunch of hypocrites? Or gods of slaughter? I'm afraid you've all forgotten your own history, haven't you? Do you think Asgard became what it is today through peace alone?!!"

After his impassioned speech, Lin Feng suddenly raised his head and looked toward the murals on the ceiling at the center of the temple hall.

Those whitewashed lies were like masks layered one over another.

Two Energy Rays suddenly erupted from his eyes, striking the mural depicting the peace treaty between Odin and Laufey.

The Energy Rays tore apart the murals overhead piece by piece, and countless massive stone slabs crashed down.

The Asgardian civilians scattered away, avoiding the falling rubble.

After Lin Feng destroyed the entire mural, he withdrew the Energy Rays from his eyes.

Beneath the mural, another layer of murals had actually been hidden.

These murals were filled with blood-red tones. One glance was enough to make anyone think of slaughter.

In the paintings, a heroic woman dressed in black-and-green armor and wearing a crown of sword-like spikes fought alongside a middle-aged Odin, wielding weapons as they charged toward the other kingdoms of the Nine Realms.

Odin's face was filled with the ruthless expression of war. Gone was his usual majesty and solemnity; he looked no different from a warmonger.

All the Asgardian civilians cried out in shock at the sight.

It was the first time they had seen that their kingdom possessed such a history—a history that had been concealed.

"That is... Father Odin? Who is that woman?"

"I don't know. I've never seen her... Is this really how Asgard came to be?"

"The peace we've always preached was a lie. This is the truth."

This bloody history was like dismembered enemies laid out before their eyes. Shame, even guilt, unconsciously appeared on the faces of the people around them.

Some lowered their heads. Others broke down and cried because the faith they had always believed in had shattered.

Lin Feng swept his gaze over their expressions, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled upward.

Yes, just like this.

Your nation is not as good as you imagine. Your king is a liar. Everything you have is a false lie.

While everyone around him was still drowning in grief, Lin Feng moved at high speed again.

In an instant, he grabbed Lorelei by her slender swan-like neck and knocked her unconscious before she could cry out.

Then Lin Feng vanished from the place in a flash, racing away.

There was nothing left here that he needed.

The Eternal Flame was already in his possession, and he had absorbed Asgard's engineers. As long as Lin Feng studied their knowledge for a while, he would be able to derive most of Asgard's technology, including the Bifrost.

As for Lorelei, Lin Feng simply found her ability interesting and wanted to collect it.

He found a quiet place and devoured Lorelei, gaining her peculiar power of enchantment.

After being altered and evolved by the Blacklight Virus, this ability no longer worked only on the opposite sex. It even affected those of the same sex, truly captivating both men and women.

And now, with one glance, Lin Feng himself seemed to possess an indescribable and unique charm.

That charm was like invisible psychological hypnosis, tempting those around him to approach Lin Feng.

"This haul wasn't bad. I'll go back, study and integrate the Dark Elves' and Asgard's technology, then test the Time Machine and the Time Portal."

Lin Feng used the Tesseract to open a golden portal, then stepped through it.

After crossing the portal, he returned to his base.

Back at the base, Lin Feng saw that the large hole in the ceiling was being repaired by small robots and was almost finished.

"Black Doctor, bring out the Time Machine. I'll need it soon."

Lin Feng did not intend to stop and rest for long. Although the threat Earth posed to him had been eliminated.

The threats in the universe still remained. He did not know where the Time Stone had gone, and the Reality Stone had most likely been given by that idiot Thor to the Collector.

While in Asgard, Lin Feng had searched with his eyes, but he could not find the Reality Stone.

The only possibility was that it was with the Collector.

The Power Stone was still in his drawer. Lin Feng planned to open its casing after thoroughly researching the technology of the Dark Elves and Asgard.

As for the Space Stone, it was probably with Sun Wukong.

When he had accidentally been teleported away by Sun Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang, Lin Feng suspected that the dwarves had done something to the staff. It had likely happened to react with the Space Stone, causing it to be lost.

So, if he found Sun Wukong, he would most likely be able to find the Space Stone as well.

As for the Soul Stone...

Lin Feng remained silent. If he could not obtain that stone himself, he could only let Thanos retrieve it.

And Thanos and Lin Feng were bound to clash. Thanos's goal was the stones, and Lin Feng's goal was also the stones. Their interests conflicted, so they would inevitably face each other.
