Emma Frost used some kind of device to freeze Betsy in place, making her stand with her arms crossed, staring silently at Thor, the anger in her eyes almost solidifying.
Then she picked up a small, palm-sized device and pointed it at Betsy. An invisible wave instantly spread out, precisely enveloping Betsy.
Before Betsy could even react, she was swallowed by a spatial vortex, leaving only a wine glass on the table that had only been partially drunk from.
Thor stood there frozen for a moment.
He looked at the spot where Betsy had disappeared; the Moon in the Water still sat quietly on the table.
Emma Frost's methods were more direct and ruthless than he had imagined.
"Where did you take her?" Thor's voice turned somber.
He knew Emma Frost wouldn't really hurt Betsy, but the way she acted without warning made him somewhat unhappy.
Emma Frost withdrew her hand, flicking her fingertips as if brushing away non-existent dust.
" Valeria's place, that's something I prepared especially for Betsy, enough for her to have some peace and quiet by herself for a while."
Emma Frost's gaze returned to Thor, with an unquestionable scrutiny.
"As for you, Thor Odinson, you stood me up for our appointment tonight. Now, it's time to settle the score."
Lin Lie stood behind the bar, wiping the wine glasses with a towel in his hand.
He watched everything unfold before him without uttering a sound or making any unnecessary movements.
This is clearly a family dispute, and it would be inappropriate for an outsider like him to go in.
He knew Emma Frost Frost, the lord of Frost City in the Knowhere, openly.
But to his utter surprise, the customers who came to his little shop were actually related to Emma Frost, the city lord, and it seemed to be a case of two women vying for one man—interesting indeed.
"Um... actually, I was just about to go find you... sigh?"
Emma Frost gave Thor no chance to argue.
She reached out and grabbed Thor's arm with an unyielding force.
"Walk."
Emma Frost's voice was short and forceful. Without waiting for Thor's reply, she picked up the space device again and made a light stroke in the air.
A spatial rift appeared out of nowhere, deep and twisted.
Thor was pulled by Emma Frost and stepped into the crevice. The crevice quickly closed behind them, and the bar returned to silence.
Lin Lie put down his glass, sighed softly, shook his head, and continued wiping the bar.
Thor felt a blur before his eyes, and when the spatial rift reopened, he found himself in a room that was almost too ornate.
Soft Persian carpets swayed beneath my feet, huge diamonds adorned the walls, and golden chandeliers, each priceless, hung from the ceiling.
The room spans a thousand square meters, and all the furniture is made of rare gemstones and precious metals, exuding an air of extravagance.
There's even a holographic projection that simulates a scene of stars and the sea in the center of the room.
Emma Frost showed no politeness and threw Thor onto the soft sofa.
Thor sank deep into the sofa, adjusted his posture slightly, and looked up at Emma Frost, who was looking down at him.
Emma Frost crossed her arms and looked down at Thor.
There was not a trace of a smile on her face, only a cold indifference that suggested she controlled everything.
"Alright, now show me my enhancement plan, immediately."
Emma Frost's tone carried an unquestionable command.
"What I want is an enhancement program that is uniquely my own, Emma Frost Frost's."
Thor rubbed his forehead; he knew Emma Frost's temper. Since he was here, he had to make her happy.
However, after the enhancements are complete, it's time for his turn.
So he began to rapidly simulate various enhancement schemes in his mind.
Ordinary energy amplification means nothing to Emma Frost.
What she wanted was a qualitative change, a transcendence.
She possesses two variant abilities: Telepathy and the ability to transform her body into a diamond form.
These two abilities are already powerful enough, but Emma Frost is pursuing the ultimate.
He abandoned those solutions that simply increased the numerical values.
Emma Frost doesn't lack power; what she lacks is uniqueness and overwhelming superiority through established mechanisms.
Thor for a moment, then spoke.
"I can modify your abilities based on your two variants."
He paused for a moment, observing Emma Frost's reaction.
Emma Frost simply raised her chin slightly, signaling him to continue.
"For example, it would allow you to freely use the abilities of another form from any other form."
Thor threw out the first bait.
This will greatly enhance Emma Frost's flexibility and tactical versatility.
Emma Frost snorted, her voice revealing neither joy nor anger.
"It's alright."
Thor knew this was just an appetizer; he needed a more concrete and impactful plan. He sat up straight, his eyes becoming serious.
"Then let's start with your diamond shape."
"First, I will enhance your diamond form into Star Diamond Body."
"Any energy attack that hits you will have a portion of it transported to the subspace for decomposition and absorption."
"Only an opponent who has mastered the laws can truly harm your Star Diamond Body."
Thor began to elaborate.
"Then, I will use the Law of Space to create a movement system that is uniquely yours."
"You can teleport in diamond form by rearranging star diamond particles, like a spatial jump, but much more sophisticated."
"Furthermore, if you are injured in diamond form, your body will quickly regenerate and recover from the injury."
"This is equivalent to a super-powerful self-healing ability."
Emma Frost's expression finally changed slightly, but she still didn't interrupt Thor.
Thor knew he had captured her interest.
"Then, you can condense your mental energy into a physical diamond blade."
"The defensive capabilities of these blades are on par with your own."
"In terms of hardness, it's probably no less than Vibranium."
"You can use these diamond blades for attack, or as an additional means of defense."
"You can also use diamonds to create clones to confuse your opponents."
"These clones possess some of your abilities, enough to fool even the most discerning eye."
"I'll also create a diamond space just for you, all by yourself."
"This space can be used to store combat items, or anything else you want to carry."
"Finally, I'll give you one last trick."
Thor lowered his voice, adding a touch of mystery.
"This ultimate move can withstand all types of attacks, whether physical, mental, Mind Stone, or even law-level attacks."
"Furthermore, there is a fifty percent chance that it will reflect these attacks back at the other party."
After Thor finished speaking, he leaned forward slightly, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"How was it, Emma Frost? Wasn't I good to you?"
Emma Frost's expression remained unchanged. She rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
The holographic projection in the room still twinkled with starlight, reflecting on her cold, aloof face.
After a few seconds, she snapped out of her reverie and fixed her gaze on Thor.
"Can."
Her voice remained calm, but it contained an undeniable power.
"Then I demand that you enhance me right now, immediately."
Thor felt a chill run down his spine; it had to be Emma Frost again, she just loved ordering people around.
I hope so, but don't beg me to let you go!
Alright!
Thor shouted, and his divine power surged, with all sorts of laws beginning to coalesce.
Time seemed to accelerate around him, making his movements almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
He then stretched out his hands, and streams of law power, like tangible rays of light, wrapped around Emma Frost's body.
Under his control, the Law of Time Infinity compressed the strengthening process.
The Law of Life, Law of Creation, and Law of Elements, along with his newly comprehended Law of Thunder —various forces danced at his fingertips, precisely reshaping Emma Frost's physical structure.
Emma Frost stood still, her body shimmering with a faint diamond-like luster.
She could feel a tremendous change taking place inside her body. Every cell, every atom, was being reorganized and sublimated under the power of Thor's laws. This feeling was powerful and wondrous.
Ten minutes passed.
Emma Frost felt her power had become incredibly strong, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. This power far exceeded her expectations; this was the power that Emma Frost Frost should possess.
She raised her hand, her fingertips twitching slightly.
Countless tiny diamond particles danced in her palm, constantly changing shape in the air.
Sometimes they form a sharp diamond sword, sometimes an indestructible diamond shield, or sometimes they condense into a flowing mass of diamond fluid.
Emma Frost held her head high, her chin pointing towards Thor.
" Thor Odinson, I'm very satisfied with your performance."
Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible pleasure.
"So today, I'm going to give you a reward."
Thor was overjoyed.
A reward? In a sense, it really is a reward!
Looks like we're almost at the happiest part?
However, before Thor's excitement could fully surface, Emma Frost lifted her foot.
Her high heels clicked on the ground, and then she stepped on Thor's chest.
The force was not great, but it carried a sense of asserting sovereignty.
Emma Frost leaned down, close to Thor, her eyes deep.
Tonight, you are mine.
Her voice was deep, with a hint of amusement.
"Because you stood me up, you're stuck down there."
