Thor's gaze lingered on Mister Fantastic's Tuotuo for a full three seconds, a tragic family drama already playing out in his mind.
He shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about whether Reed Richards would tie himself in a knot after learning the truth.
He turned his head and looked at Kara, the black-haired girl who had been quiet from beginning to end, as if she were surrounded by her own protective barrier.
"Has the city been relatively peaceful these past few years?" Thor over a hover chair and sat down opposite her.
Valeria had completely ignored him, putting on a pair of high-tech goggles, with countless data streams flowing before her eyes. She was practically lying on the Mobius Chair, muttering incantations in jargon that Thor couldn't understand.
Kara put down her milk tea, and a rare look of seriousness appeared on her usually expressionless face.
"Generally stable," she said, her voice cool. "Ever since you left, and after the Avengers dealt with the internal crisis in their universe, Tony took the lead and formed the ' Multiverse Guardians ' with the heroes of Frost City, putting out fires everywhere."
She paused, seemingly organizing her thoughts.
"The result was... Frost City's population exploded by several orders of magnitude, and land prices in the East End tripled."
Thor raised an eyebrow; this was exactly what he expected.
"What else has Tony done besides recruiting people everywhere?"
"He brought back a new alien race, the superhero Tuotuo, which is selling like hotcakes in the West End." Kara pointed expressionlessly to the Thor Tuotuo above her head, "And he also teamed up with Valeria to add a few new bosses to the Terraria Continent."
"A new boss?" Thor became interested. "What is it?"
"A few Godzilla."
"..." Thor felt his temples throbbing again. "Which universe did he get this from?"
"I don't know." Kara shook her head. "He didn't say, only that it was 'a little bit of intergalactic specialty'."
'Damn it, Tony Stark.'
Thor cursed inwardly, "This guy is always causing trouble wherever he goes."
He was about to press for details about Godzilla when Kara suddenly changed the subject, her gaze shifting slightly.
"These are all minor issues. About a year ago, there was a major incident."
"Hmm?" Thor sat up straight.
" Bob, the ' Sentry ' from Tony's universe, suddenly tore through space and descended into the Knowhere."
Thor's expression instantly turned serious.
"How did he get here? What's the situation with the battle?" Thor immediately pressed.
If that thing really goes berserk, the entire Frost City will be wiped out.
As Kara recalled the scene, a faint red light, characteristic of Kryptonian, seemed to flash in her clear eyes.
"It was intense. He appeared in a very unstable state; his ' Void ' personality was almost out of control, and the entire city sounded the highest level of alert."
She picked up the milk tea and took a sip, seemingly trying to calm the lingering palpitations from that moment.
"However, Tony later tested it with instruments and said that the Sentry in their universe was actually only at the level of a thousand star explosions, far from the legendary one million."
'A thousand... that's terrifying,' Thor thought.
"And then? How was it resolved?"
" Clark, that little Hulk, and I together held him off head-on," Kara said calmly, as if discussing something trivial. "He's strong, but with the three of us combined, he couldn't gain the upper hand."
Thor nodded. These three were indeed the top-tier physical combat force in Frost City.
"And then what? Simply stalling won't solve the problem."
"Finally, Wanda made her move," Kara said. "She teamed up with Madelyne, Emma Frost, and Betsy, and laid a trap."
Kara's description was simple, but Thor could imagine how horrific the scene was.
Chaos Magic rewrites reality, the Phoenix Force burns the spirit, the Star Diamond Body isolates energy, and the psionic blade severs the links.
"The four of them joined forces, using laws and spiritual power as chains, to forcibly seal away the ' Void ' personality within him."
Kara concluded, "Now, that guy named Bob has retained the full strength of Sentry, but without the threat of ' The Void,' his strength is about the same as mine, and he's become a high-ranking enforcer in the Guard."
"..."
Thor fell silent.
A top-tier combat force on par with a Universe Level was just recruited like that?
Kara, Superman Clark, and Chibi Hulk go head-to-head.
Scarlet Witch, Goblin Queen, White Queen, and Psylocke are sealed on the flanks.
This lineup is almost too luxurious.
'Wow, it seems Wanda and her friends have improved by leaps and bounds in the past few years!' Thor thought to himself with mixed feelings.
He's such a hands-off manager, he's almost lost track of how much wealth he actually has.
Seeing Thor's surprised expression, Kara took another sip of her milk tea, as if she had remembered something, and added casually.
Oh, right, there's one more little thing.
"Explain."
"A while ago, a group of guys calling themselves the ' Inheritors ' broke into the fighting arena in the South District, apparently trying to hunt down a Spider-Man variant."
Thor's eyelids twitched.
The Inheritors? Those vampires who hunt Spider-Totem throughout the multiverse?
And the result?
"But they were unlucky." Kara's lips seemed to twitch slightly, as if she was suppressing a laugh. "That day, Magneto Erik happened to be out shopping with his daughter Lorna, and they were also watching a fighting match."
Thor could already foresee the ending.
" Magneto saw someone making a scene on his turf, and it scared his daughter..." Kara paused, seemingly searching for the right word.
"He didn't even stand up; he just raised his hand from the audience seats, and instantly crushed that entire Inheritors squad, along with their equipment, into cosmic dust, leaving not a trace behind."
Thor was utterly speechless.
Before he even unleashed his power as the boss, his subordinates had already dealt with all sorts of Multiverse Level crises as if they were routine minions.
This Knowhere I once knew has unknowingly become a den of dragons and tigers, a place where hidden talents lurk.
As Thor marveled at the terrifying depths of his power, Valeria, who was engrossed in her research, suddenly stopped everything.
She took off her goggles and turned her head.
Those clear blue eyes, which always carried a scientific fervor and arrogance, now held an unprecedented solemnity.
"By the way, Thor."
Her voice instantly changed the atmosphere in the laboratory.
"That white-skinned Black Swan woman named Yabbat went missing before you returned."
Thor frowned. Black Swan?
"Before losing contact, she left you an encrypted message through a quantum entanglement channel with the highest privileges."
Valeria's expression was unusually serious.
"It took me three days to crack the outer encryption; the contents inside... are related to Doom."
