Prelude to Marvel 1.0's Great Melee!

As evening approached, several vehicles, clearly not belonging to the local area, all with identical black exteriors and the same model, appeared.

They drove into the small town in an orderly fashion.

Then, the person who got out of the car stood very respectfully outside a courtyard, straightened his tie, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, rang the doorbell.

A moment later, a Black man opened the door, staring at them expressionlessly. "The master already knows. He's letting you in; everyone else stay outside."

The middle-aged man, who was somewhat balding, immediately turned around and gestured with his eyes for his subordinates to stay outside. Then, he followed the strong black man into the courtyard alone.

"Master, the guests have arrived."

The Black man, looking utterly aggrieved, spoke to the young man in the living room.

"Okay, you can go now." Alvin casually waved his hand and said indifferently, "Oh, by the way, go make two cups of tea, seven-tenths hot, Nige."

"..-yes."

The Black person, of course, is Heimdall.

Since even his own prince had been reduced to a slave, his status was naturally even lower, hence the title "Blackie." The middle-aged bald man was somewhat surprised; even in this day and age, there were still black slaves. So he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Coulson, right?"

Alvin sat on the living room sofa and woke the middle-aged bald man. "You came to see me, was it Fury's idea?"

Coming to his senses, Coulson said with a slightly serious expression, "Yes, Mr. Alvin, we've come here partly to investigate the fallen meteorite, and partly to see you."

"What's up?"

Alvin yawned and said lazily, "Sorry, it's too late. Just say what you need to say. I'm not interested in beating around the S.H.I.E.L.D.."

"May I come in, Mr. Alvin?" Coulson smiled kindly. "This is rather important, so it's best if no one else is present. I can only speak to you."

He was clearly referring to "Thor," who was standing next to him like a bodyguard.

"Him? It doesn't matter, he's my slave too." Alvin waved his hand and said, "Just say what you need to say, don't hide it from him."

"Alright—" Seeing this, Coulson abandoned his original idea and instead placed a button-sized device on the coffee table. "Mr. Alvin, I have a video here that Director Fury specifically asked me to give to you. I hope you can take a look."

"Good."

Alvin nodded, remaining seated on the sofa, and gestured with his finger to indicate that he could play the music.

"Look, Mr. Alvin."

Coulson took a half step back, then turned on the projector and introduced, "This is a secret S.H.I.E.L.D.. experimental base located somewhere. Inside—well, it stores something very important."

"The Tesseract, right?"

After glancing at the base, Alvin guessed that this must be a scene from "The Avengers".

"Yes, you're really amazing." Coulson was slightly surprised. The Tesseract was a top secret within S.H.I.E.L.D.., and even he had only recently learned of it.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Alvin guessed at a glance that this matter was related to the Tesseract. No wonder Director Fury specifically instructed him to bring Alvin to S.H.I.E.L.D.. headquarters.

"The time has been moved up?"

One thing that puzzled Alvin was the number 0.

Logically, shouldn't the story be about Thor and Loki vying for the throne? How did it suddenly jump to the Avengers?!

Could it be that Loki was banished by his father, the cunning Odin, before he even got there?

Filled with questions, Alvin continued watching the surveillance video on the projector, confident that things would soon...

He will then be able to figure out exactly what happened.

Soon, as the scene progressed, they saw a huge, empty Laboratory where some kind of experiment was taking place. The azure light, under the influence of the instruments, continuously erupted with terrifying energy!

Just then, as if something had malfunctioned with the equipment, the enormous energy intensified, and the panicked shouts of the experimenters could be heard from the video.

"Quickly, shut down the equipment!"

But it was too late!

The cube in the center of the instrument suddenly burst out with dazzling light, and then it seemed to tear a huge gap in space and time!

"It's coming..."

Alvin stared intently at the gap in the video, torn open by the Tesseract.

Could it be Loki?

No, from that gap emerged several "monsters" several meters tall, muscular, and completely unlike humans, with dark blue skin. They roared in a language that was completely incomprehensible, and stepped into the human world!

This is... Frost Giants?!

When Alvin saw the image projected on the screen, he was immediately shocked, because the creature with dark blue skin, several meters tall, and resembling a troll was none other than the Frost Giants of Jotunheim!

Wait, why are the Frost Giants of Jotunheim here?!

"Laufey! That's the leader of the Frost Giants, Laufey! How could it be here?!" Thor couldn't help but shout.

"Laufey?" Coulson keenly caught this crucial piece of information. "You recognize them? You know where they came from?"

Alvin turned to Thor and said, "Please explain it to us in detail."

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Thor pointed to a rather thin Frost Giants in the picture. "That is Laufey, the leader of the Frost Giants in Jotunheim. He was once our mortal enemy, but he was defeated and his artifacts were taken away by my Father King. He hid in Jotunheim and dared not start another war."

"But—I don't understand, why is it here?!" Thor felt confused and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Laufey's appearance in Midgard, does it mean... something has happened to his father, the Father King?

"Mr. Alvin, as you can see, we have been invaded, and the enemy is an unprecedented race." Coulson looked at him with utmost sincerity, bowed respectfully, and said in a deep voice, "Therefore, the Director hopes you can return to assist S.H.I.E.L.D.."

Alvin pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples. "Why me?"

"I don't know the specific reason."

Coulson hesitated for a few seconds, but still told the truth, "But the director once said that if it really comes to that, perhaps only you can save us."

?

"No thanks, I can't take on such a heavy responsibility." Alvin immediately declined, but looking at the Frost Giants that had already invaded Earth on the screen, he frowned. "But this matter—is very likely related to Asgard. Tell your director that I will take Thor to the Helicarrier."

"That's wonderful, Mr. Alvin."

Coulson immediately relaxed, a smile spreading across his face. "I'll report to the director right away. Let's set off as soon as possible. You might even run into some acquaintances when we get to the Helicarrier."

Is that someone I know, Tony Stark?

But to be honest, the sudden appearance of the Frost Giants gave him a bad feeling; he had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

"Frost Giants are one thing," Alvin muttered, pinching his brow with a serious expression. "But if the Chitauri are also involved, wouldn't it quickly become a Marvel version 1.0 of a massive melee?"
