Arc 7Operation Chain Break
Ye Mo helped Thor defeat the Destroyer and regain Mjolnir, then discovered that a living chip was linking his lightning to Loki’s tampering with the Bifrost. As Jotunheim faced destruction, Ye Mo assembled allies and prepared a counteroperation, but the chip’s influence left the team unsure whether he could be trusted.
- Ye Mo uncovered Helvard’s Asgardian rune signal and the Destroyer’s approach, then joined Emma Frost and Thor in fighting the armor as Loki controlled it remotely.
- Thor regained his powers, defeated the Destroyer with Ye Mo and Emma’s help, and reclaimed Mjolnir before leaving for Asgard.
- Ye Mo absorbed residual divine lightning and found that a rune-marked chip responded to his power, eventually forming a conscious-seeming connection that produced powerful Resonance Lightning.
- The chip sent Ye Mo a vision of the Bifrost breaking, and he and Emma Frost traced Loki’s tampering to a plan to destroy Jotunheim.
- Ye Mo summoned Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, explained the threat, and organized a plan to disrupt Loki’s control before the Bifrost collapsed.
- Ye Mo, Emma Frost, Tony, and Bruce established safeguards against Loki’s deceptive messages and commands, then approved Operation Chain Break.
- Ye Mo assigned the team its battlefield roles and warned them to kill him if he appeared replaced, as the chip and his lightning flashed in sync.
