The great All-Father has fallen into slumber, and the evil Loki has usurped the throne.
The people of Asgard are plunged into misery; they must return to defeat the evil Loki and restore a bright future to Asgard.
This is what Qin Xiao and Coulson heard from the four people from Asgard after they got out of the car.
It contends with clichéd notions of justice.
Qin Xiao kept yawning as he listened.
"You were actually listening that intently, Coulson!"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but speak to Coulson was listening intently to the conversation.
"What a wonderful story! The evil younger brother who usurped the throne awaits his elder brother, the prince, to return and defeat him. You didn't hear this kind of fairy tale when you were little, but my mother often told me these kinds of stories. I also remember the first children's picture book I ever read, The Lion King Simba's story, which is similar to this, except it's about the king's brother and son."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes. So you were listening to this as a fairy tale all along.
"Gentlemen, I understand what you mean, but my father said I cannot go back until I have learned how to be a true king, and if Asgard really becomes that bad, my mother will step in. Now it seems, perhaps it's not so bad, is it?"
Thor uttered the most brilliant line in over 1500 years.
That's right. If what they said is true, does that mean Frigga is just a decoration behind them?
Putting everything else aside, she could have directly ordered Heimdall to bring Thor up from Earth; there was no need for the four of them to sneak down.
"The Queen is busy caring for the sleeping Odin. You must return immediately, or the Nine Realms will face war and disaster. We must go and save them!"
Volstagg, the most hot-tempered of the Warriors Three, spoke with a righteous expression, foaming at the mouth. When he got excited, he even picked up his axe and chopped at the void a few times.
"Pfft!"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Swish, swish, swish!
Several pairs of eyes turned to Qin Xiao and Coulson.
Coulson silently took a step back.
Several eyes lingered on Qin Xiao.
"Sorry everyone! I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation, it's just that what you said just now..."
"Defeat the evil Loki, save the Nine Realms, we represent justice!!"
Qin Xiao pinched his throat, stood on tiptoe, and spoke in a high-pitched voice, imitating their impassioned manner.
"Yes! That's exactly what you're saying. It's absolutely hilarious, as if the Nine Realms would perish the moment they were gone!"
Although these Asgardians didn't understand what was so funny about Qin Xiao's Qin Xiao, they could still discern the contempt on his face and the mocking look in his eyes.
Volstagg took a large step forward and stood in front of Qin Xiao, his nearly two-meter-tall, imposing figure looking down at Qin Xiao.
His long, braided beard trembled as he spoke.
"Are you mocking us? Mortals, mocking us Asgard gods? Do you believe I'll retaliate with my axe...?"
"Hey! Volstagg, stop! This is my friend, my teacher. He taught me so much back on Earth!"
Thor dashed between the two.
He understood perfectly how his companions viewed Earth: a land of mortals, a barren wasteland, with the Asgardians' unique sense of superiority—that's how it was when he first arrived.
"Then you'd better teach him to shut up, you foolish mortal! If you dare mock the gods of Asgard again, I'll teach you a lesson with my axe!"
Volstagg glanced at Qin Xiao with disdain Thor blocked his way, then raised his axe and threatened Qin Xiao in a gruff voice.
As soon as he said that, Thor knew something bad was about to happen.
Having spent some time with Qin Xiao, he had never seen Qin Xiao suffer a verbal defeat.
Sure enough, just as Volstagg was about to turn around, Qin Xiao spoke up.
"Hahaha!"
"I think I mocked him again, Coulson. I mocked a god. What should I do? Kneel and apologize? Thor, what kind of god is your friend? The god of boars? Or the god of gluttons?"
"What did you say?"
Volstagg took an angry step forward, but Thor held him tightly.
He kept winking at Qin Xiao, signaling Qin Xiao to stop talking.
Qin Xiao didn't even glance at Thor, pointing at Volstagg's nose and speaking.
"You few dare to talk about saving the Nine Realms? Which kingdom needs your help? Who can you possibly defeat? The Frost Giants Laufey? Or the Fire Lord Surtur? Or the Sleeping Dark Elves?"
"No! No! No! You can't beat any of you!"
Qin Xiao extended a finger and gently shook it, his gaze sweeping over Volstagg with disdain.
"You can only bully malnourished children. I really don't know where you get the confidence to talk about saving the Nine Realms. Is it your unkempt beard or your fat ass that gives you the courage!"
"Ah!! I'll kill you!"
Enraged, Volstagg shoved Thor aside and charged at Qin Xiao like a wild boar, axe in hand.
"See? I told you he was the god of the boars, didn't I? Coulson! Coulson?"
Qin Xiao called out to Coulson, but there was no response. He turned around and saw that the guy had somehow run back to the car and was now far away from him.
"Damn it! Coulson, you've gone astray!"
Qin Xiao complained to Coulson, then turned around and dodged Volstagg's axe with a sidestep.
Just as Volstagg swung his axe with all his might, he stepped on the back of Volstagg's axe and grabbed Volstagg's beard with his right hand, pulling it sharply.
Using the momentum, he leaped up, his right knee slamming into Volstagg's chin with tremendous force.
"Bang!"
A dull thud rang out, and Volstagg flew through the air.
The enormous body flew backward for a good twenty or thirty meters before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of sand and dust.
"Poor Boar God, I haven't even used any force yet, how did you fly away? Hey, is your sexy ass alright?"
Qin Xiao stretched out his right hand to shade his forehead and shouted loudly into the distance.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Upon seeing their companion being attacked, Sif and the other two Warriors Three drew their weapons and glared angrily at Qin Xiao.
"Hey! Great gods, are you all preparing to gang up on me, a mere mortal?"
Qin Xiao extended his left index finger and beckoned to the three of them in an extremely lewd manner.
"Come on! Let's go together. Just so you know, if you lose, you're not allowed to cry and go home to your mom!"
