Peter: Who's Going to Hold Down Newton's Coffin Lid?

Asgard.

The once glorious Asgard drifts forlornly through the universe, its brilliance seemingly faded. The floating islands appear filled with death, and the magnificent golden buildings have collapsed, replaced by countless black blades that stand like towers of the dead upon the earth.

Is this really Asgard?

Thor was stunned.

It hadn't been long since he last left Asgard. Back then, Asgard was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations for the coronation ceremony, and it looked prosperous. Who could have imagined that everything would change in such a short time?

Even the Three Warriors couldn't recognize Asgard's current appearance.

Terrifying ghosts roamed among those Death Blades; to the uninitiated, they would have seemed to have entered the realm of the dead.

"Looks like we're in big trouble," Steve said seriously.

Let's land first.

Black Panther nodded, activated the aircraft's stealth mode, and slowly approached Asgard. The closer they got, the more they could feel the terrifying power emanating from those blades.

"It seems there are more than just Dark Elf..." Wanda said, frowning.

They had obtained information about the Dark Elf from the Three Warriors before setting off, but now it seems that their enemies are far more numerous than that.

The Three Warriors were also confused about what had happened after they left, and could only look at each other in bewilderment, but there was no doubt that things had become more complicated.

"Let's go that way. I remember there's a secluded clearing over there."

Thor suppressed his inner impulse and gave Black Panther directions.

Regardless, the spaceship must be protected, otherwise their support team might have to wait for reinforcements.

The spaceship's infiltration went smoothly; Asgard was as quiet as a dead city.

Let's stop here.

They stopped on a cliff, not far from the Royal Palace, and Lin Yin —the perfect spot. Once they were ready to evacuate, the spaceship's autopilot would activate immediately.

"Everyone, check your equipment."

Steve was already standing by the hatch, the Galactic Plumbers Shield firmly fastened to his left arm, while his right hand gripped a short hammer.

It's not Mjolnir, but a hammer-shaped weapon made of Vibranium.

Steve still needed a weapon to deal with the aliens, and after thinking it over, he felt that Thor's hammer was actually quite handy, so he asked the equipment department to make one for him.

Moreover, it's not a completely solid hammer, but a hammer equipped with artificial intelligence and weapons.

If I had to describe it, it's more like a hammer-shaped Iron Man suit of armor.

Thor also created one that looked similar and named it Mjolnir 2.0.

Peter didn't have much to say; he was still wearing his Nano Vibranium Battle Suit, but since they were dealing with evil aliens this time, his weapon system had been upgraded.

Wanda and Quicksilver didn't really need weapons; they were only wearing protective suits.

"Let's go," said the Sandman.

Instead of wearing a protective suit, he took off his black special agent uniform. For others, the uniform serves a defensive purpose, but not for him. The uniform was meant to suppress his Superpowers and allow him to revert to human form, but it was useless now that he needed to fight.

Several people stepped out of the spaceship, and Black Panther then controlled the floor that was carrying Mjolnir to emerge from the plane.

Although no one can lift it yet, what if Thor awakens?

He didn't want the spaceship to be smashed to pieces by the hammer when anyone summoned Mjolnir.

The group quickly began to head towards the palace. The further they went, the dense jungle gradually disappeared, replaced by sharp black blades that rose from the earth like thorns.

"What is this? The plants in Asgard are so strange."

Peter curiosity, Peter reached out and touched the thorns, immediately leaving a faint white mark on his Vibranium suit, which startled him so much that he quickly withdrew his hand.

"This is not Asgard plant," Thor said seriously.

He has lived here for over 1,600 years and has never seen this thing before.

"Be careful, they might be weapons left behind by Dark Elf. Don't touch them lightly, or they'll be in trouble if they're cursed."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze towards the black blades became much more wary, their steps became lighter, and their bodies subconsciously shrank back. At this moment, Wanda's eyes shone with a rosy light.

Something's approaching.

Before she could finish speaking, a rustling sound came from the Black Blade Forest. Then, hundreds of Dark Elf, like ghosts, stood on the huge, pillar-like black blades, staring at them with cruel eyes.

"Very well, I saw it too," Peter said irritably.

Everyone immediately assumed a fighting stance. Wanda was also helpless; in Asgard, another powerful magical force restricted her spellcasting, preventing her from noticing the approaching enemies immediately.

"Prepare for battle!" T'Challa brandished his claws.

Boom!

The Sandman took the lead, raising his arms high and creating a massive sandstorm. The rapidly spinning and vibrating sand grains, like countless sharp blades, rained down on the Dark Elf like a meat grinder!

The next moment, the others also sprang into action.

Wanda swung her hands, uprooting a black blade and sweeping it across the attacking Dark Elf.

Quicksilver also entered battle mode. His battle suit was different from others, more like the XLR8 suit. After the nano mask on his face fell down, it covered his entire body, and at the same time, a pair of arm blades appeared on his arms.

He was as fast as Flash, like a harvester, constantly severing the enemy's heads.

The others weren't as efficient as the three of them, but they still made the Warriors Three's scalps tingle.

Are these still the same Midgardian?

The Three Warriors were dumbfounded. They had always carried a certain arrogance of gods, and even in this plea for help, they were actually hoping that Thor would rise up. They hadn't had much hope for the Earthlings at first.

But now it seems they're the ones who've dragged us down...

"Let's go too, we can't hold the team back!"

Fandral raised his sword and spoke.

Volstagg had already charged out with his battle axe raised.

His strength was indeed extraordinary; he charged forward like a tank. Steve felt that his fighting power was at least on par with that of the Dinosaur Connors.

Another person similar to Connors is Spider-Man.

His Spider Gene weren't originally this strong, but Ben helped him create Upgrade Serum that added some of the abilities of other Spider-Man. Now, when he shoots Silk, he can also deliver an electric attack. Although the current isn't strong, a brief half-second of control is enough, and the Nano Spider Spear extending from his back will instantly pierce through the enemy.

With their combined efforts, the numerous Dark Elf seemed to be no match for them.

"It's very simple."

Quicksilver slammed on the brakes, pulled back his mask, looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, and said lightly. The others also showed expressions of relief.

If it's just an enemy like that, then Father and Mother Empress will surely be alright.

Thor thought to himself.

But he soon realized he was wrong.

Suddenly, green flames ignited on the scattered corpses of the Dark Elf lying on the ground. Then, from within those flames, the monsters he had slain returned from the world of the dead, their wounds healed, and they rose again, brandishing their blades and charging forward.

"Physics no longer exists? Someone please help me roll my Newton's Coffin Lid!"

Peter frantically dodged a Dark Elf's sneak attack and shouted.

"It must be biology, right? And you should use your super strength to press down on these monsters' coffin lids!" Quicksilver shouted. He thought he had won, so he let his guard down, only to have his right leg grabbed by a Dark Elf who should have been dead, followed by countless Dark Elf pounced on him.

Thor quickly threw Mjolnir 2.0, knocking down several enemies and giving Quicksilver a chance to unleash his arm blades.

"Your intelligence didn't mention this!"

T'Challa tackled an enemy and complained to the Warriors Three.

"We don't know either," Hogun replied helplessly.

Fandral said, "They could have been killed... Something must have happened while we were away from Asgard!"

Volstagg is still charging forward.

"This is going to go on forever. Let's not get entangled with them and break through first." Steve quickly made a decision, while looking at Wanda and Sandman, the only ones among them who could unleash area-of-effect attacks.

"I'll do it! I'll trap them all in quicksand!" said the Sandman. "Witch, take them all into the air!"

"Knew."

Wanda nodded, and with a swift movement of her hands, she floated up lightly. However, before she could use magic to levitate the others as well, a surge of green magical energy attacked from the shadows and struck Wanda in the back.

Wanda!

Quicksilver, worried, broke free from the enemy's grasp and rushed over like Flash to catch her, while the others looked warily in the direction from which the attack had come.

There, two women dressed very differently were smiling at them.

One of them had long blonde hair and wore a green dress, while the other had brown hair, wore a blue dress, and had gold rings on her arms.

The blonde woman looked at Wanda with a mocking tone. "You're not the only Witch here."

"Amora, Lorelei?"

Several people from Asgard recognized them; they were sisters, and also spellcasters in Asgard who possessed many magical abilities. Amora, wearing a green armored dress, was even known as a powerful Enchantress and enchantress.

"Let me see, a few stray dogs have found helpers?" Her gaze fell on Thor, quickly turning disdainful.

Amora would have been quite interested in the original Thor; only an outstanding man is worth controlling. But the current Thor is out of the question; he's all show and no substance.

"Amora, why did you attack us? What has become of Asgard? Where is the Allfather?"

"Thor asked loudly."

"The Allfather is dead; now only the Goddess of Death remains here!"

"What?"

"Nonsense!" Thor was instantly enraged. With a flick of his arm, the hammer that had been thrown earlier flew back into his hand, then slammed towards Amora with flames and Flash.

This startled Amora, who quickly dodged.

"Thor, are you the God of Thunder again?"

But her sister Lorelei noticed something was wrong.

"That's fake."

Although the hammer appeared to possess sentience, it didn't actually act according to Thor's will. Instead, each of the hammer's six sides had four small jets, which, combined with artificial intelligence, allowed it to be controlled even after being released from Thor's grasp.

As for lightning, it is the electric current released from the energy core inside the hammer.

Lorelei raised her hand, releasing a burst of magical energy that knocked the hammer away, and then said, "Pathetic Thor, still unaware of just how terrifying his enemy truly is."

"You don't yet know what kind of enemy you're facing!"

Thor summoned his hammer back and said firmly.

"Is that so?" Amora gathered her hands together, and green magical energy condensed into a Teleportation Array. The next moment, hundreds of figures appeared in the array.

The Warriors Three and Thor were all stunned.

Because those teleported there by Amora were none other than warriors from Asgard.

The leader was bald, but had two short, tooth-like tufts of hair on his head. He wore black armor and carried two blood-red heavy axes on his back.

"Skurge?"

They recognized the man as the Executioner of Asgard, the axe on his back used to judge the sinners of Asgard.

However, in Asgard, where war had ceased for over a thousand years, very few people needed to be executed, making the position of the Skurge Executioner practically meaningless.

Looking at Thor and the Three Warriors's faces, Skurge's shame flashed by, and he quickly said, "Surrender, Thor! Asgard is no longer Odin's Asgard. Now it has its true ruler, and she is our rightful queen!"

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about!"

Thor pointed at him angrily. "You have betrayed Asgard! You have sided with the Dark Elf! You are a disgrace to Asgard!"

You're wrong, Thor.

"We have never surrendered to the Dark Elf. On the contrary, these Dark Elf have been enslaved by the Queen's power, and Asgard belongs to her! She will conquer the Nine Realms with the glory of Asgard! Once again!"

Skurge emphasized the word "once again".

"Surrender, Thor."

"Although you have lost your divine power, you are the Queen's brother. If she demands your submission, she will forgive you, and it is not impossible that she will even give you the real the Hammer of Thor."

"I'm her brother? What are you talking about?!" Thor thought Skurge was probably insane.

"I am Thor Odinson, the eldest son of Odin, the King of Gods!"

Skurge shook his head and said, "You never were."
