"I don't understand why such a small planet like Earth has so many countries and so many complex political systems. You humans on Earth are so complicated! The other eight kingdoms combined don't have as many problems as you!"
The news broadcasts covered numerous recent events in Japan, their impact on Japan politics and the economy, and on the international community.
Thor's head was spinning. His politics in Asgard were simple for the other worlds: war, defeating the rebels, peace—it was that simple.
Compared to that, the complexity of Earth gave him a headache.
In fact, not only the Nine Realms corresponding to Asgard, but also the political system and the complexity of the numerous countries on Earth are among the best in the entire universe.
"Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Odin sent you to Earth—to learn about Earth's social structure and the wisdom of humankind, especially a genius like myself!"
Tony lazily poured himself a glass of wine. In his opinion, Asgard's society was far too backward. Although magical energy was incredibly amazing, a place that was supposedly the realm of the gods didn't even have the Fridge or telephones, which didn't meet Tony's standards of development.
"My father sent me to Earth to help you, and also to teach me how to be an ordinary person."
Thor snatched Tony's glass, retorted, and then defiantly downed it in one gulp.
"Oh? To learn to be a normal person, you should learn to access adult websites yourself, instead of always relying on JARVIS to help you!"
Tony said with a smile.
"Damn it, JARVIS, you promised you wouldn't tell anyone!"
Thor's face turned bright red, and he crushed the bottle in his hand.
"I haven't told anyone that you browse adult websites every night before bed, Thor!"
JARVIS's voice rang out, and everyone burst into laughter.
" Thor, don't you know Tony can access JARVIS's entire database?"
Qin Xiao chuckled and patted Thor on the shoulder.
"But speaking of which, Jane has only been in Europe for a little over a week, how come you're already this thirsty?"
Qin Xiao chuckled and teased, thinking to himself that he should find a place to let Hulk out and practice fighting with Thor, so that he wouldn't have nowhere to vent his energy.
Thor muttered a few curses and ignored Qin Xiao's words.
But Tony stood up abruptly from the sofa.
"Why didn't I think of that before, guys? I should go to Asgard and start a company, karaoke bars, shopping malls, all kinds of entertainment. Poor Asgardians, they have to go to a tailor to buy a nice piece of clothing now."
"Their only activities before bed are drinking or hiding under the covers to produce the next generation. Their entertainment is so scarce; they don't even have television!"
"Qin, let's go to Asgard and save them from their backwardness!"
Thor wanted to refute something, such as the claim that Asgard's civilization was far more advanced than Earth's.
However, considering the various forms of entertainment on Earth, compared to Asgard, technology does indeed bring more comfort and enjoyment to the lives of ordinary people.
"My father probably won't agree. This kind of life in Asgard has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years, since before humans on Earth could even obtain fire themselves. But if you're sure you want to do it, I can ask around for you."
Whether Tony's idea of starting a company would work out could be discussed later, but everyone showed interest in going to Asgard, seeing the scenery of the so-called divine realm, and experiencing a kind of medieval Europe civilization.
Qin Xiao can leave at a moment's notice. His current existence is not only a portal but also a mobile warehouse, containing a large amount of living supplies, even military ammunition, and everyone's spare equipment.
With him around, they wouldn't be afraid even if they left the Milky Way right now.
That's what they said, but to show respect for Odin, they told Thor to go back and tell him first, Avengers would go over in an hour.
Captain America, Peggy, Falcon, Natasha, Hawkeye, Banner, Tony, and Hill, led by Qin Xiao, formed a large group of nine and traveled through the wormhole directly to the top of the Bifrost.
Qin Xiao's wormhole opened not far from the entrance of the Bifrost Temple. Sensing the spatial fluctuations, Heimdall warily picked up his longsword.
Upon seeing that it was Qin Xiao who emerged, he put down his longsword and stood at the temple entrance watching one person after another emerge from the wormhole.
Seeing that nearly ten people had suddenly appeared, Heimdall's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he silently turned and walked into the temple.
The reclusive Heimdall had no intention of even greeting Qin Xiao.
But Qin Xiao didn't care whether Heimdall was aloof or not; he went up and familiarly put his arm around Heimdall's shoulder.
He waved to the crowd and said.
"Come, come! This is Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost, the god of light. His eyes can see every corner of the universe, and his ears can hear sounds from anywhere."
"Look at his golden eyes! These aren't colored contact lenses; they're divine power contained within them. Didn't you read about him in Northern Europe mythology when you were kids? You never thought you'd see him alive today!"
Heimdall was a solitary person who preferred quiet, and he was already unhappy that Qin Xiao brought so many people in and out of the area. With this introduction, Heimdall's expression became increasingly unpleasant.
Just as he was about to tell Qin Xiao to leave, Qin Xiao seemed completely oblivious to his expression.
Then he addressed the crowd.
"Anyone want to come up and take a picture? This is a rare opportunity! Heimdall, we have a guest! Cheer up, smile, my friend!"
Qin Xiao knew Heimdall's temperament, of course; he was just joking on purpose, teasing this perpetually expressionless gatekeeper who never needed to sleep.
After saying that, he led the group directly to visit the Rainbow Temple.
Only Banner, that simpleton, quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket, walked up to Heimdall, held it up, and made a peace sign with his other hand, ready to take a selfie.
"Roll!"
Heimdall raised the Guardian's Sword in his hand and gestured towards Banner's neck.
Banner shuddered and shrank back as he entered the Bifrost Temple.
After teasing Heimdall and taking a stroll around the Bifrost Temple, Qin Xiao, like a tour guide, led the group to see the Endless Sea from the Bifrost, allowing them to take several photos.
Just as they were about to lead their men toward the Golden Palace, they saw a figure speeding toward them through the air.
It was Thor. Knowing everyone had arrived, he flew straight to the Bifrost.
Qin Xiao and the others thought he had come to greet them, but they were surprised to find that Thor's expression was solemn.
The first thing he said was...
Odin has disappeared!
