Boom!
On an endless wasteland, a divine body covered in cracks appeared out of thin air and slammed heavily into the ground with a muffled crash.
Just as the battered soul showed signs of awakening, it was drawn to the faint, cool, clean scent of roses.
Thor felt a splitting headache, and every bone in his body was screaming. The awakened wisdom of his previous life and the memories of his current one were battling it out in his head.
Combined with the astonishing injuries to his body, it left his mind in a complete tangle.
The sudden fragrance made him open his eyes instinctively. Everywhere he looked, there was nothing but desolation.
"You're awake? I thought I'd picked up another corpse."
A cool, languid female voice, tinged with arrogance, sounded above Thor.
Thor looked up toward the voice. The first thing he saw was a blonde woman wearing a long white suit. The suit looked expensive, but it was now covered in tears.
Another woman stood beside the blonde, holding two katanas. Her long purple hair fell over her shoulders, and she wore a purple, high-cut bodysuit, with several black straps wrapped around her thighs and purple guards on her arms and knees. Her exposed thighs were a healthy bronze.
Before Thor could get a better look at the two women, Emma Frost extended her right foot and lightly planted the heel of her somewhat faded white high heel on his chest.
"Hiss..."
The sudden attack made Thor gasp involuntarily in pain.
Whoa!
This is fucking intense. Is the starting reward really this intense?
The next second, he finally sorted through the huge pile of information in his head: five thousand years of memories, Ragnarok, Surtur, the flames of Asgard...
And a set of memories that didn't belong to Thor: a modern man named Su An, who had watched every Marvel movie and read some of the comics.
Have I awakened the wisdom of my previous life?
No, it would be more accurate to say that Thor died, but Thor came back to life with the memories of his previous life.
I died trying to stop Ragnarok, then somehow ended up in this godforsaken place. The moment I opened my eyes, I met the White Queen and Psylocke.
The White Queen's a good person after all. She gave me a reward without another word. It really hurts, sure, but how is this not a reward?
"Thor Odinson, that's quite the unusual fetish you have there, isn't it?" Emma lowered her head, as though she had seen through Thor's thoughts.
"Oh...! Stop, stop, stop!"
"Damn it! Emma! Why are you just like that professor who sits in a wheelchair all day cosplaying as a disabled person? Why do you love prying into other people's private business so much?"
"Oh? You know about me, and you know Charles too?" Emma studied Thor, her eyes full of curiosity.
She had just invaded the big fool's mind without the slightest effort, only to find herself nearly overwhelmed by the enormous flood of memories the moment she entered.
There were more than five thousand years' worth of memories. If she hadn't been fairly skilled with mental powers, she would probably have become an idiot by now.
The strange sight had only aroused Emma's curiosity further. Even though she had retreated quickly enough, she had still caught glimpses of the five-thousand-year flood of memories.
The big fool she was now stepping on, whose body was shattered yet who was secretly delighted, was actually Thor, the god of thunder from Norse mythology.
He had ended up like this because he had gone through a terrifying battle, and she had just witnessed the end of that massive war.
That must have been Ragnarok from Norse mythology: a Fire Giant towering between heaven and earth, an infinitely long serpent, a giant wolf with its bloody maw wide open, countless Frost Giants, and a strangely dressed woman in green armor from head to toe.
The aura each being gave off was terrifying beyond measure. Even through the images in his memories, Emma could sense the imprint of their terrifying auras.
Those beings were far beyond anything she could handle. Yet Thor, the god of thunder, had soloed all these terrifying beings.
The price was that his entire body was covered in cracks, making him look like a porcelain doll that might shatter on the spot at the slightest touch.
Thor used all his strength to reach out and slap Emma's leg away. He had no choice; if he didn't knock it away, he would end up in pieces.
What kind of transmigrator awakens the wisdom of his previous life only to shatter into pieces right afterward? Damn it, why did these memories have to awaken now, of all times? They waited until I'd died once.
So what does that make me now? A soul returned to life in a corpse?
While Thor was still wondering what his current situation was, he suddenly saw a faint white crystal appear in front of him.
Forcing himself to sit up, he glanced at Psylocke and the White Queen and saw that neither of them could see the white crystal in front of him.
His soul, which had read countless transmigration novels and watched countless transmigration anime, finally grew excited.
I knew it. How could a transmigrator not have a cheat?
Although he might not be a transmigrator in the traditional sense, the process didn't matter; the result did. In other words, he could use a cheat now.
Thor endured the pain in his body and slowly reached out with his right hand to touch the white crystal floating about half a meter in front of his chest.
Crack...!
A crystal-shattering sound that only he could hear rang out, revealing a ball of white light. As if equipped with automatic navigation, it flew straight into Thor's mind.
The next second, he knew exactly what his cheat was.
In a sense, it was an even more overpowered cheat than a system: heaven-defying comprehension!
The White Queen had just used telepathy on him to probe his mind, and he had instantly gained an epiphany on how to use telepathy and probe other people's thoughts.
Good grief, now I'll never have to worry about anyone peeking into my mind again!
A cheat really is a cheat!
Looks like I'm going to comprehend the Dao and become a god in the Marvel Universe!
"Hm...?" Psylocke, who hadn't spoken until now, frowned. Her hand was already on her sword hilt as she immediately sent her mental powers out to probe the surroundings. Someone had just used mental power to probe them?!
Emma had also sensed the faint mental fluctuation that had vanished in a flash. Following the residual energy, she discovered that the fluctuation had come from the dying god of thunder in front of her.
Huh? Strange. When I invaded his mind earlier, I clearly didn't sense this aura.
Emma eyed the grinning Thor suspiciously. Was he deliberately playing dumb just now?!
Thor was very happy. When Emma and Psylocke had just used their abilities, another white crystal had appeared in front of him.
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
There's never been a more wonderful start!
