Inside the Frost City recycling center, a barely perceptible ripple spread through the space.
Immediately afterwards, a portal no bigger than a fingernail suddenly opened and then closed in an instant, as if it had never existed.
A figure clad in silver-white high-tech armor appeared in the spot.
He was a vanguard of the Council of Kangs, a cannon fodder given a glorious title.
The Council of Kangs's grand plan is to steal the authority of a supreme being, and in their meticulous observation, in addition to the main target, a special Thor has unexpectedly entered their field of vision and is regarded Thor an unstable variable.
In order to eliminate this hidden threat planted by Loki, the Council went to great lengths and finally bypassed the surveillance of that being, relocating to the coordinates leading to the Knowhere —this abandoned place they labeled the "Multiverse Junkyard."
Kang the Vanguard, activated the armor's stealth mode while cursing and swearing.
His silver-white armor rippled in the air before completely blending into the background and disappearing.
"Another reconnaissance mission... How fucking boring," he thought to himself.
He was puzzled by those high-ranking "leaders."
What could possibly be so compelling about a junkyard in a multiverse that would warrant such elaborate preparations, even at the cost of expending enormous amounts of energy, to send it here?
As he cautiously stepped out of the garbage recycling station's exit, his question was instantly answered, followed by immense astonishment.
Everything he saw completely overturned his understanding of a "garbage dump".
A magnificent and unbelievable sci-fi metropolis rises from the ground, with countless hovercars like schools of metal fish shuttling between the staggered skyscrapers.
He could even see people riding hoverboards, drawing dazzling trails in the air, and further away, a huge figure strolled by leisurely—it was a Tyrannosaurus Rex being walked around like a pet!
Above the city, a golden continent, shrouded in mist and ethereal in its aura, floats silently, exuding a sacred and ancient atmosphere.
" Asgard...?" The Kang the Vanguard's database instantly recognized the outline of that divine realm, but what followed was not awe, but extreme contempt.
As a 31st-century individual with an extreme pursuit of technological aesthetics, Kang could not tolerate this eclectic style.
In his view, this was simply the most distorted aesthetic in the universe!
A primitive man found blueprints for a future city and haphazardly stitched together myths and cutting-edge technology, creating this bizarre and incongruous monster.
"Barbaric! Ugly!" Kang the Vanguard, roared silently in his heart.
That arrogance and pride that came from the depths of his blood, belonging to "Kang," instantly overwhelmed the caution of the "pioneer."
He completely forgot about his original reconnaissance mission, and a brand new idea took over his mind.
He wanted to give this city a small, 31st-century shock!
He wanted to hack into the city's network and show these primitive people living in the "Stone Age" what real technology was!
Kang the Vanguard, raised his wrist, and a complex data stream was immediately projected onto the armored personal terminal.
Full of confidence, he connected his mental energy to the terminal and began to infiltrate the city's network system.
The process went even more smoothly than he had imagined.
Those seemingly robust firewalls were as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of his technology, and he tore them apart layer by layer with ease.
"Ha, just as I thought, a bunch of barbarians." He let out a disdainful chuckle.
Soon, he "saw" the core artificial intelligence that manages the city—a program called " Lumina ".
He glanced casually at Lumina's core code, his contempt deepening.
"Such crude methods, such rudimentary architecture... Is this level of artificial intelligence even qualified to manage a city? How can such primitive configuration stop Kang's progress?"
He had already planned out the next move: take complete control of Lumina, display the emblem of the Council of Kangs on screens throughout the city, and then use the broadcasting system to announce their ignorance and backwardness to the entire city.
Just as he was about to take this final step and enjoy the thrill of conquest, a clear, slightly questioning female voice suddenly rang out from his personal terminal, exploding right next to his ear.
"Huh? When did a rat get into Frost City? Let me see..."
Kang the Vanguard, froze, his mind going completely blank.
How is that possible?!
The sound came from the internal communication channel of his own armor!
This channel is directly connected to his nervous system and is absolutely private!
How did she do that? How did she discover that she was in a state of perfect invisibility?
Before he could recover from his shock, the tone of the voice suddenly changed completely, transforming from initial doubt into an uncontrollable, almost fanatical excitement.
" Lumina! Contact Emma Frost quickly! I've found another Kang! Don't let it escape!"
The name "Kang" struck Kang the Vanguard, like a thunderbolt from the heavens.
They... know who they are?!
A chilling coldness shot up his spine and up to the top of his head, a chill that even his proud 31st-century technological armor couldn't withstand.
However, what truly plunged him into an abyss of boundless fear was the girl's subsequent screams, which sounded like the ravings of a demon.
"That guy called Kang the Conqueror from last time was useless! He went mad after only a few studies. Quick, quick, this one can't disappoint me again!"
