After this period of training and adjustment, Skye has successfully integrated into Phil Coulson's team.
The moment he gave the order, he swiftly activated the Intel Transmission System.
Skye quickly typed a sentence:
The Destroyer of Asgard has arrived, and his target may be Thor the God of Thunder!
'Smack!'
With the Enter key pressed, the intelligence was instantly transmitted into the headquarters' intelligence system database.
The Smart AI that retrieved this intelligence immediately added a red "urgent" tag and recommended it directly to the Red Order's head— High Priestess Strucker.
After receiving the intelligence, Strucker immediately opened Portal to the New York Sanctum.
In the Kamar-Taj Main Hall, Richard's Magic Clone and the Ancient One are playing chess.
'Snap~'
Ancient One picked up a white piece and placed it down.
Mephisto is getting increasingly cunning.
Richard chuckled and said, "He's testing me..."
"Testing whether you or I are still on Earth."
Ancient One raised an eyebrow in confusion. "When do you plan to retaliate?"
"A counterattack? That won't do!" Richard shook his head with a smile. "If we frighten that cunning old man Mephisto, it'll be much harder to lure him out of Hell next time."
A startling idea flashed through the Ancient One's mind.
She stared at Richard in astonishment, exclaiming, "You... you've got your sights set on Hell?!"
"Yes!" Richard slammed his piece down.
"Why?" Ancient One pressed.
" Valhalla." Richard sighed helplessly. "To build Valhalla, we need a Spatial Fragment containing the Death Rule."
"I see." Ancient One nodded knowingly. "No wonder you were eyeing Mephisto's Hell ..."
"As far as I know, when Odin built Valhalla, he cut off a part of Helheim."
Richard nodded in approval, saying, " Odin in his youth was indeed a formidable figure!"
"Unfortunately... after becoming the Lord of the Nine Realms, he became complacent and stagnant."
"To stand still... you're wrong. Odin had no choice back then."
Then, the Ancient One revealed a shocking secret.
"After Odin became king of the Nine Realms, he went away for a period of time..."
"But not long after, he returned with severe injuries."
Richard raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Someone actually managed to injure Odin?! Who is that person?"
Unexpectedly, Ancient One shrugged and said, "I don't know..."
" Odin never told anyone who had injured him."
Richard frowned. "Even using the Eye of Agamotto won't work?"
The Ancient One shook his head and said, " The Time Stone isn't omnipotent. You should know that very well, Richard."
Richard's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
Seeing this, the Ancient One laughed and said, "Don't worry, although I don't know who seriously injured Odin, I can be sure of one thing: the other party is not from this universe, and doesn't even belong to the entire Multiverse."
"An outsider?"
Richard breathed a sigh of relief. Outsiders entering the Multiverse would be subject to the unique rules of the Multiverse. As long as they weren't super-powerful beings who could destroy the Multiverse with a single blow, he was confident that he would one day surpass them.
"So Odin's Dao heart was shattered?"
"There are always higher realms..." the Ancient One sighed softly. " Odin probably knows he'll never have a chance for revenge."
"So what difference does it make whether you're the Lord of the Nine Realms or the ruler of the universe, just because your territory is small?"
"Perhaps by firmly guarding the Nine Realms, the Asgardians might be able to avoid Ragnarok."
"Tsk, he's got a good plan," Richard said sarcastically. "Too bad his judgment is terrible."
" Thor the God of Thunder?" Ancient One shook her head and said, "Compared to his sister, Hela, he is indeed quite inferior."
She said meaningfully, "A qualified successor is always a rare find."
Richard blinked and silently straightened his chest.
Just then, a report came from outside the main hall.
" Master, your loyal servant Strucker requests an audience."
Richard sat up straight and said in a deep voice, "Come in."
Strucker lowered his head, strode into the hall, and knelt down with a thud.
"Greetings, Master; greetings, Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One."
Richard waved his hand and said, "Stand up and let's get down to business."
"Yes, Master." Strucker stood up, bowed, and said, "Reporting to Master, the Destroyer of Asgard has just been sent to Earth."
Richard looked up and smiled, "Very good. Now that the main character has made his appearance, the grand show can begin."
" Strucker, lower the protective netting around the New York Sanctum and let those Dimensional Minion outside Earth in."
Strucker replied respectfully, " Master, before coming to see you, I went to the New York Sanctum..."
"I've transferred all the Arbitrator from the Order Tribunal there."
Richard shook his head and said, "Not enough! Add more people!"
He looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing through the solid Spatial Barrier, and 'saw' the henchmen of various forces wandering in the Dimensional Void.
"Besides being the minions of Hell, the hyenas roaming beyond Earth also harbor creatures from other dimensions."
"Transfer half of the Crimson Believer from the Order there; the activities of our Dimensional Minion on Earth must be restricted to the desert region of New Mexico."
"Yes...!" Strucker bowed in response. "What about the people at Mjolnir Base? Should they be evacuated?"
"No need," Richard waved his hand and said, "I will place the Human Sovereign Banner beneath the Mjolnir Base."
Upon hearing this, Strucker's eyes lit up immediately. " Master, you are merciful!"
"With the protection of the Human Sovereign Banner, Mjolnir Base will become the only safe place on the entire battlefield!"
Richard laughed loudly, "Since you are my followers, I will naturally not let you die."
"Remember, Earthling Asgardians are allowed to enter the Mjolnir Base, but no one else is permitted to set foot inside!"
"Furthermore, it's crucial to maintain a good pace in the war, Strucker."
"Turn that desert into a hunting ground for all forces that covet Earth!"
He narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "I'd like to see how many big fish we can catch in this net!"
The Ancient One sighed, rubbing her forehead, " Richard, don't forget that Thor the God of Thunder is still just a normal human..."
"Your agreement with Odin was to train Thor, not to send him to his death...!"
"Don't worry, Your Sorcerer Supreme," Richard waved his hand and laughed, "Our God of Thunder Prince Thor won't die, he'll just have to suffer a little more!"
He thought to himself: How could Thor the God of Thunder become the true God of Thunder without experiencing the pain of losing his lover, friends, brothers, parents, and home?
Besides, this growth plan was personally designed by Hela; it comes from her deepest, most profound love.
On the other side, in the Town of Hockum, New Mexico.
Thor the God of Thunder was drinking with the Warriors Three of Asgard when he suddenly shivered and sneezed violently, spraying a mouthful of wine from his mouth and nose.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
Sif quickly got up, walked behind him, and patted his back.
" Thor, are you alright?"
Thor waved his hand and said, "No, it's nothing~"
"I suddenly had a bad feeling..."
