Ch:126
Then let's depart now."
Lin Feng nodded, taking one last look at the black substance.
"King Eitri, please guard it carefully. Do not let anyone touch it."
King Eitri solemnly promised:
"I will guard it personally."
As they left the mine and returned to the surface, Lin Feng looked up at the starry sky, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
Beyond the Nine Realms, an ancient power was awakening.
And he had to be ready for the coming storm.
"We need to return to Asgard as soon as possible."
Lin Feng said to Thor.
"I'm worried your father and mother might already be in danger."
Thor nodded, raising mjolnir.
"Then let us call Heimdall and return immediately."
Just as they were about to leave, a strange light suddenly flashed across the distant sky.
It was as if something had torn through the veil of the Universe.
Lin Feng and Thor looked up simultaneously, their faces showing alert expressions.
"What is that?"
Thor asked, gripping mjolnir.
A hint of solemnity flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and he said in a grave tone:
"The darkness descends, it has begun!"
In the distant sky, the light tearing through the veil of the Universe grew brighter and brighter.
It was like a wound in deep space.
Immediately after, dozens of oddly shaped warships surged out of the rift, flying towards the Nine Realms.
"Dark Elves' warships!"
Thor exclaimed, "Their target is Asgard!"
...125: Odin VS Malekith!
Lin Feng quickly turned to King Eitri:
"Please begin preparations immediately, we must forge that weapon as soon as possible. Thor, we must return to Asgard at once!"
King Eitri nodded solemnly:
"I will gather the best craftsmen. Once you bring back the materials, we will work day and night without stopping."
Thor raised mjolnir high and called out:
"Heimdall, open the Bifrost Bridge!"
However, only silence answered him.
"Heimdall!"
Thor called again, his voice filled with obvious anxiety.
Lin Feng's expression grew even more serious:
"I'm afraid Asgard has already been attacked, Heimdallmight not be able to respond to us."
"Then how do we get back?"
Thor asked anxiously.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:
"There are many secret passages in the Universe, and I know one that leads to Asgard."
Thor looked at him in surprise:
"How do you know these things?"
Lin Feng didn't answer directly, only saying:
"Follow me, we have no time."
.
Meanwhile, above Asgard, Dark Elves' warships suddenly appeared like a nightmare.
They pierced through Asgard's proud shield as easily as passing through thin gauze.
Dark Elves warriors on the warships began to descend, wielding energy weapons, launching a fierce assault on the Asgardians.
Asgard's army was completely unprepared, caught off guard by the sudden attack.
The Guardians tried to organize a counterattack, but the Dark Elves' weapons seemed capable of penetrating the Asgardian warriors' armor, causing fatal damage.
On the Bifrost Bridge, Guardian Heimdall was fighting desperately.
His golden eyes could see everything in the Universe, but even he failed to give advance warning of this attack.
The Dark Elves seemed to have used some ancient magicto conceal their tracks.
Heimdall wielded his great sword, each swing repelling several Dark Elves warriors.
But the enemy's numbers were too great, they surged in continuously, like an unstoppable tide.
Suddenly, a main ship, even larger than the others, slowly approached the Bifrost Bridge.
The bow of the ship slowly opened, and a tall figure in black armor, with ancient markings covering his face, stepped out.
0 --- Please give flowers --- His eyes glowed with an unsettling light, and a dark energy surrounded him.
This was the King of the Dark Elves—Malekith.
"Guardian, your eyes have lost their former brilliance."
Malekith sneered.
"Today will be the end of Asgard, and your demise."
0 0 ... Heimdall responded sharply:
"As long as I stand here, the Bifrost Bridge will not fall into your hands!"
He suddenly charged at Malekith, his great sword drawing a golden arc.
Malekith easily sidestepped, and at the same time, a black energy shot from his hand, striking Heimdall's chest.
The Guardian grunted, staggering back several steps, blood seeping from the gaps in his armor. But he gritted his teeth and raised his great sword again.
"Your courage is commendable."
Malekith said indifferently.
"But in the face of absolute power, courage is meaningless."
He raised his hand, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
Danger struck silently!
...Up.
126: Cursed Warrior! Frigga in danger!
Just at this critical moment, a golden light descended from the sky, and the powerful energy fluctuations shocked everyone present.
The great All-Father Odin, clad in golden armor, wielding the Eternal Spear Gungnir.
He descended from the sky on his eight-legged steed, Sleipnir.
His single eye gleamed with majestic light, as if it could see through all illusions.
"Malekith!"
Odin's "003" voice boomed like thunder across the sky.
"How dare you invade Asgard?"
Malekith turned to face Odin, a twisted smile appearing on his face:
"Odin, long time no see. Five thousand years have passed, you have grown old, while I have become even stronger."
Odin leaped from Sleipnir's back.
He stood on the Bifrost Bridge, facing Malekith from a distance:
"Five thousand years ago, I spared your life and exiled you and your people. It seems that was a mistake."
"Mistake?"
Malekith sneered.
"You took everything that belonged to us, drove us into the darkness, and called it mercy? Today, I return with my people for revenge, and to reclaim what is ours."
"Are you referring to the Aether?"
Odin asked calmly.
"That power belongs to no one. It only brings destruction."
A hint of fanaticism flashed in Malekith's eyes:
"The Universe should return to darkness! Today, the grievances between us will be settled, and only one will live."
With that, he suddenly charged at Odin, dark energy coalescing in his hand.
Odin raised Gungnir, and golden energy erupted from the spear tip.
The two forces collided on the Bifrost Bridge, creating a deafening explosion.
All of Asgard could feel the aftermath of this battle.
The magnificent buildings began to tremble, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, as if even nature feared this battle of the God-Kings.
.
Meanwhile, inside Asgard's royal palace, Queen Friggaanxiously hurried through the corridors.
As Odin's wife, she could feel the intensity of the battle outside, but she had more urgent matters to attend to now.
"Queen, please stay in a safe place!"
A guard advised 0 ... Frigga shook her head resolutely:
"No, I must go to the dungeons. Loki is still there, he might be in danger."
Despite everyone's pleas, Frigga decided to go to the dungeons.
As a mother, she could not stand by knowing her son might be in danger, even if that son had made mistakes in the past.
She quickly moved through the corridors, heading towards the dungeons.
However, just as she turned a corner, three Dark Elveswarriors suddenly appeared before her.
Frigga, as the Queen of Asgard, was not defenseless.
She quickly drew the short sword from her waist, and at the same time, cast magic to create several illusions of herself, confusing the enemies.
The Dark Elves warriors were momentarily unable to distinguish which was the real Frigga.
Their attacks passed through the illusions, missing their target.
Ch:127
Frigga seized the opportunity to stab a warrior in the chest, but just as she prepared to deal with the second, a tall figure emerged from the Shadow.
This was a being stronger and more terrifying than an ordinary Dark Elf... 127: Is this all the gods have? Instant kill!!
His skin was a strange grayish-black, his eyes blood-red, emitting a suffocating pressure.
"Queen of Asgard."
He said coldly.
"I am Algrim, the Cursed Warrior of the Dark Elves."
Frigga watched him warily:
"Why have you invaded Asgard?"
Algrim did not answer, striking suddenly.
His speed was astonishing; although Frigga cast defensive magic in time, she was still knocked back several steps by the powerful impact, hitting the wall.
"Tell me where the Aether is, and I can make your death quicker."
Algrim pressed closer to Frigga.
Frigga struggled to her feet, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes remained firm:
"Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."
Algrim sneered:
"Then you are of no use."
He raised his hand, and a black energy gathered in his palm.
Just at this critical moment, a green light suddenly shot from the end of the corridor, hitting Algrim's arm.
"Stay away from my mother!"
A stern voice rang out.
Loki, the former Prince of Asgard, had somehow escaped the dungeon's confines and appeared in the corridor.
His face was filled with anger and murderous intent, and the dagger in his hand glowed with green light.
Frigga saw Loki, and surprise and worry flashed in her eyes:
"Loki, how are you here?"
Loki did not answer, his gaze fixed on Algrim:
"Anyone who dares to harm my mother deserves to die."
Algrim turned to Loki, saying contemptuously:
"The traitor Prince of Asgard, are you Loki? I hear you harbor deep hatred for Asgard; perhaps we can cooperate."
Loki sneered:
"It's true I resent Asgard, but that is my business. Only I can harm it, and you are merely a damned invader."
With that, he lunged at Algrim, the dagger in his hand tracing a graceful yet deadly arc.
Algrim raised his hand to block, and the two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.
Loki's fighting style was flexible and unpredictable, sometimes solid, sometimes an illusion, making him difficult to grasp.
But Algrim's strength and speed far surpassed ordinary beings, and he could even see through some of Loki's illusions.
"Loki, be careful!"
Frigga cried out anxiously when Loki was almost hit.
In the instant Loki was distracted, Algrim seized the opportunity, punching him in the chest.
Loki flew backward, hitting a pillar, blood spilling from his mouth.
"Pathetic gods."
Algrim mocked.
"Your power is waning, and the darkness is rising. 003"
Loki struggled to his feet, a burning flame of anger in his eyes:
"You will pay for this."
He charged at Algrim again, this time his movements more frenzied, as if he no longer cared for his own safety.
The two fought fiercely in the corridor, the aftermath of their attacks destroying surrounding pillars and walls.
Frigga tried to join the battle to help Loki, but her injuries made it difficult for her to exert her full strength.
She could only cast magic from the side, trying her best to interfere with Algrim.
"Mother, get out of here!"
Loki shouted during the fight.
"Go find Father and Thor!"
... 128: Frigga falls! Loki turns dark!
Frigga hesitated:
"Loki, I can't leave you!"
Loki dodged an attack from Algrim, briefly looking at Frigga, a trace of tenderness flashing in his eyes:
"Please trust me, I can handle this."
Frigga finally nodded and began to retreat:
"Be careful, my son."
Algrim noticed Frigga was leaving and suddenly launched an energy attack at her.
Loki timely shielded his mother, blocking the blow with a magical barrier.
But Algrim's strength was too great!
Algrim's strength far exceeded Loki's imagination.
Although Loki used all his illusion and magic skills, his attacks were like scratching an itch against the Cursed Warrior.
Algrim advanced step by step, each blow creating cracks in Loki's defense.
"Your tricks are useless against me, God of Mischief."
Algrim sneered, grabbing Loki by the throat and lifting him.
"Your magic is nothing in the face of true power."
Loki tried to break free, but Algrim's strength was as unyielding as steel.
He felt his breathing becoming more and more difficult, and his vision began to blur.
"Release my son!"
Frigga roared, her short sword flashing silver as she lunged at Algrim.
Algrim released Loki and turned to face Frigga.
He easily dodged the Queen's attack, then struck back, knocking Frigga back several meters.
But Frigga did not retreat; she cast one spell after another, golden energy striking Algrim like lightning.
"Mother, no!"
Loki struggled to his feet, his voice hoarse.
Algrim was hit by Frigga's magic, but this only seemed to enrage him.
The Cursed Warrior's eyes gleamed with cruelty:
"Since you all wish to die, then I shall grant it!"
He charged at Frigga, a spear of dark energy forming in his hand.
Loki saw his intention and rushed towards his mother with all his might, trying to push her away.
Just as Algrim's spear was about to pierce Loki, Friggasuddenly appeared in front of Loki, spreading her arms to shield her son.
"No—!"
Loki's eyes widened, but it was too late.
The dark spear pierced Frigga's chest, and blood immediately gushed out.
The Queen's body trembled slightly, but she did not make a sound.
She merely turned her head slowly, looking at her son, a faint smile on her lips.
"I always... believed in you, Loki..."
She said with difficulty.
"No matter what others say... you will always be... my pride..."
Frigga's body softly collapsed, and Loki rushed forward to catch her.
He felt his mother's life rapidly fading, and an unprecedented fear and despair enveloped him.
"Mother! No, don't be like this!"
Loki's voice was broken, tears flowing uncontrollably.
"Please... don't leave me..."
Frigga weakly raised her hand, gently caressing Loki's cheek, her eyes filled with maternal love:
"Remember... who you are... my son..."
Her hand fell, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
"No... no... Mother... come back..."
... 129: Home invaded? Odin stunned!
Loki held Frigga tightly, his body trembling violently.
Algrim stood by indifferently, a cruel smile on his lips:
"Poor Prince, you have lost the only one who loved you. Now it's your turn."
Loki gently laid his mother's body down and slowly stood up.
His eyes were no longer the familiar green, but pitch black, like a bottomless abyss.
An unprecedented power surged within him; it was the dark power that had been suppressed for so long.
It was the hidden ice power within his Jotunheimbloodline.
And it was his endless grief and anger over his mother's death.
"You... killed 003 her...".
Loki's voice was terrifyingly low; the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and the ground began to freeze.
"She was the only one who truly loved me..."
Algrim felt the change in the air, and he warily took a step back:
"Your power... This is not Asgardian ability."
Loki did not answer. His body began to emit a faint blue light, his skin gradually turning blue, and his eyes completely blood-red.
Ch:128
The Frost Giant bloodline from Jotunheim fully manifested.
It merged with the magic power within him, forming a terrifying hybrid.
"For Mother, I will make you wish you were dead."
Loki's voice was like it came from the depths of hell.
He lunged at Algrim with astonishing speed.
The Cursed Warrior tried to defend, but Loki's punch carried the power of frost.
It easily broke through his defense, sending him flying and shattering a marble pillar.
Algrim crawled out of the rubble.
The disdain on his face turned to surprise and a hint of fear:
"You… you can't possibly have this kind of power…"
Loki didn't give him a chance to breathe, instantly reappearing before Algrim.
His hands transformed into ice blades, each strike carrying a deadly chill.
Algrim managed to parry a few times.
But Loki's attacks grew faster and more furious, like an unstoppable blizzard.
The Cursed Warrior's body began to freeze, and his movements became sluggish.
Loki seized the opportunity, kicking him away, then conjured dozens of ice blades, firing them simultaneously at Algrim.
The Dark Elf's body was pierced by the ice blades, pinning him to the wall, his blood staining the ice crystals.
"This… impossible…"
Algrim coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
"You're just an abandoned Frost Giant… an unwanted monster…"
Loki approached him, his eyes filled only with cold killing intent:
"You're right, I am a monster. Now, you will experience this monster's wrath."
He reached out and grabbed Algrim by the throat.
The power of ice flowed from his arm into the Cursed Warrior's body, freezing his blood and internal organs from within.
Algrim howled in pain, but his voice was quickly frozen in his throat.
Feeling his life being taken away inch by inch, a look of grim determination flashed in Algrim's eyes.
He struggled to pull a red crystal – the Aether crystal – from his embrace.
"Since… that's the case… then let's die together…"
Algrim said with difficulty, then crushed the crystal.
Crimson energy surged into Algrim's body like liquid, instantly melting the frost within him… 130: You call this the Celestials?!
His body began to undergo a terrifying transformation, his muscles bulging.
His skin became even darker, and his eyes turned completely blood-red.
The ice blades were expelled from his body, and the wounds healed almost instantly.
"Now, witness true power."
Algrim's voice became deeper and more distorted.
Loki had to retreat several steps.
He felt an unprecedented surge of power erupting from within Algrim.
It wasn't just the Cursed Warrior's strength, but also the raw energy of the Aether.
A power capable of altering reality.
Algrim waved his hand, and the surrounding space seemed to warp.
Loki tried to defend, but the Aether's power penetrated his magic barrier, sending him flying.
Loki crashed through several walls, finally landing in a great hall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Do you feel it?"
Algrim approached, each step making the ground tremble.
"This is the power Odin stole five thousand years ago, and now it has returned to our hands."
Loki stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth:
"The Aether… you came for it."
"Clever little Prince."
Algrim chuckled.
"However, it has already recognized me as its master. I will use it to kill you first, then Odin, and finally destroy all of Asgard!"
A look of resolve flashed in Loki's eyes:
"Then I cannot let you leave here alive."
He charged at Algrim again.
But this time, even with the power of Jotunheim, Loki still felt outmatched.
Algrim's every strike carried the power of the Aether.
It could twist reality, causing Loki's attacks to miss or pass directly through his body.
The two fought fiercely in the hall, the clash of energies destroying everything around them.
Loki unleashed every magic and technique he knew, but Algrim's power made him struggle increasingly.
"Give up, little Prince."
Algrim knocked Loki down again.
"Your power is nothing compared to the Aether."
Loki struggled to get up, glancing at the unconscious Frigga not far away, a new determination igniting in his eyes:
"My Mother died for me, I will never let her sacrifice be in vain!"
0 --- Requesting flowers --- His body once again glowed with an ethereal blue light.
But this time, a green energy also intertwined with it.
Loki perfectly merged his magic with the power of Jotunheim, creating a completely new form of power.
Algrim sensed the threat and immediately unleashed the full power of the Aether.
Red energy, like tentacles, surged towards Loki.
0 0 … But Loki's new form allowed him to foresee these attacks and change his position before they touched him.
"Impossible!"
Algrim watched in shock as Loki evaded all his attacks.
A cold smirk appeared on Loki's lips:
"I am the God of Lies and Deception. My specialty is making the impossible possible."
He put his hands together, then sharply pulled them apart.
Thousands of Loki's illusions simultaneously appeared in the hall, each emanating the same energy signature, making it impossible for Algrim to distinguish the real from the fake.
"What trickery is this?"
Algrim roared, unleashing an Impact of Aether energy, trying to eliminate all the illusions… up.
131: Loki's Despair!
But when the dust settled, the illusions remained, and their number seemed to have increased.
Each illusion attacked Algrim, with ice blades, magic, and even physical attacks, coming from all directions.
Algrim tried to defend with the Aether's power.
But he couldn't cope with so many attacks at once.
Wound after wound appeared on his body.
Although the Aether could quickly heal these "003" wounds, the healing speed began to fall behind the rate of injury.
And the real Loki, at this moment, had quietly approached.
He seized the opportunity, rushing from behind the moment Algrim's attention was drawn by the illusions.
He gripped Algrim's temples with both hands.
"Die with my Mother!"
Loki roared, injecting all his magic and the power of Jotunheim into Algrim's body.
Algrim howled in agony.
He tried to break free, but Loki's power held him like chains.
Frost spread from Loki's fingers, covering Algrim's entire head, then his body.
The Aether tried to resist, but Loki's will was as firm as a rock.
His power continuously surged out, suppressing the Aether's resistance.
"No—!"
Algrim let out one last desperate howl, then was completely frozen.
Loki gasped, looking at the completely frozen Algrimbefore him, the ice crystals shimmering with an ethereal blue light under the palace's illumination.
His body finally returned to its normal Asgardian state.
"Mother!"
Loki suddenly remembered, quickly turning and running towards Frigga, who lay on the ground.
He knelt beside Frigga, carefully cradling her in his arms.
Frigga's face was as pale as paper, her golden hair spread out, her once vibrant eyes now half-closed, her breathing so faint it was almost imperceptible.
"Mother, hold on, it's all over."
Loki whispered, his voice trembling in a way he himself hadn't noticed.
Frigga struggled to open her eyes, saw Loki's face, and a faint smile touched her lips:
"My… child…"
"Don't speak, save your strength, we will find a way to heal you."
Loki said urgently, his palms emitting a green glow as he tried to use magic to heal Frigga's wounds 0… But the Dark Elf's weapon carried an ancient curse; the wounds refused to heal, and instead, black markings began to spread from them.
Loki's face grew even paler, his eyes flickering with fear:
"No, no, not like this, Mother!"
He tried several more healing spells, but all were ineffective.
Frigga's life force was rapidly draining, her breathing growing weaker and weaker.
Ch:129
Loki…"
Frigga's voice was barely audible.
"I am…proud…of you…no matter…where you come from…you will always be…my son…"
Loki's eyes welled up:
"Mother, please don't leave me, I need you, we all need you."
Frigga laboriously lifted her hand and gently caressed Loki's face:
"Take care of…yourself…and your…brother…" Her hand fell weakly.
"No!"
Loki let out a heart-wrenching roar, hugging Frigga's body, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
He had never felt so powerless and desperate... 132: Lin Feng Arrives! Turning the Tide!
Even with powerful magic and the strength of Jotunheim, he still couldn't stop the person who loved him most from leaving.
Just then, a chilling cracking sound came from behind him.
Loki turned his head alertly, seeing an impossible scene:
Inside the ice-sealed Algrim, the Aether power surged again, red energy spreading like blood vessels within the ice.
"No…"
Loki murmured, the tears in his eyes evaporated by the flames of fury.
Cracks appeared in the ice, then it burst open violently.
Algrim broke free from the ice, his form even more terrifying than before.
His body became taller, muscles abnormally swollen, and the patterns on his skin glowed with an eerie red light.
"Foolish little prince."
Algrim's voice sounded as if it came from the depths of hell.
"Did you think this could kill me?"
Loki carefully laid Frigga on the ground, slowly stood up, his eyes filled only with cold killing intent:
"I will make you wish you were dead."
"I can already feel my life draining away."
Algrim sneered, "But it's enough to take your life!"
Loki glanced at Frigga, then turned to Algrim, an expression appearing on his face that Algrim had never seen before—
It was utter madness and resolve.
"Die with my Mother!"
Loki roared, his body turning blue again, his eyes blood red, fully unleashing the power of Jotunheim.
He no longer held back, no longer feared, only pure anger and a desire for revenge.
Algrim also burned with all his life force, the Aether power raging within him, tearing his body apart while granting him unprecedented strength.
"Come on, little prince, let's see who dies first!"
The two collided like comets, frost and Aether energy intertwined in the air, the palace floor began to crack, and walls collapsed.
Loki no longer thought, no longer calculated, only sought revenge.
Every strike poured out all his hatred, every movement carried a deadly intent.
Algrim's power was indeed terrifying, but he could feel his life rapidly draining away.
The Cursed Warrior form burned his life essence, and coupled with the power of the Aether, made him like a star about to explode.
Loki was sent flying, shattering a marble pillar, but he immediately got up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"You will pay the price."
He whispered, conjuring a giant ice spear in his hands.
"My life is about to end, but your Mother is already dead."
Algrim laughed cruelly.
"I won, little prince."
A flicker of pain crossed Loki's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by an even stronger rage: "Then I'll send you to hell!"
Just at this tense moment, the palace wall was suddenly pierced by a powerful lightning bolt, the thunder deafening.
Thor, holding mjolnir, rushed in from outside, followed by a stranger in a black trench coat.
"Loki! Mother!"
Thor saw the scene before him, filled with shock and anger.
He saw Frigga lying on the ground, unconscious, while Loki was fiercely battling a terrifying Dark Elf creature.
"Leave this to us."
The stranger calmly told Thor... 133: Malekith! King of the Dark Elves!
"You go take care of your Mother."
Thor nodded, rushing towards Frigga, while the man in black — Lin Feng, quickly walked towards the battlefield.
"Another one coming to die."
Algrim sneered.
"The revenge of the Dark Elves will begin with the Asgard royal family!"
Loki saw the arrival of Thor and Lin Feng, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly covered by hatred:
"He's mine, brother, take good care of Mother."
Thor knelt beside Frigga, frantically checking her vital signs:
"Mother is still alive, but her condition is critical!"
Hearing this, new hope ignited in Loki's eyes, and at the same time, his determination to kill Algrim grew even stronger.
Lin Feng calmly observed Algrim, then said to Loki:
"Two against one, better odds."
Loki hesitated slightly, but nodded.
He knew that Thor and Lin Feng were both extremely strong warriors, and now Frigga's life was far more important than his pride.
Algrim saw their intention and sneered:
"Come on, let me see how capable the princes of Asgardare!"
Meanwhile, on the Bifrost Bridge.
Odin, fully armored and holding the Eternal Spear, faced the King of the Dark Elves, Malekith.
In the sky, dozens of Dark Elves warships were breaking through Asgard's defenses, unleashing cannon fire on the golden city.
"I feel it."
Rage burned in Odin's single eye.
"Something has happened to Frigga."
Malekith stood at the other end of the Bifrost Bridge, a cruel smile on his face.
"Your wife may already be dead, All-Father. And this is just the beginning."
A flicker of grief crossed Odin's eyes, but was quickly replaced by towering rage.
He raised the Eternal Spear, pointing it at Malekith:
"I will tear you apart with my own hands, Dark Elf."
"Even if you kill me, it changes nothing."
Malekith responded calmly.
"My army will destroy Asgard, just as you destroyed my home five thousand years ago. As long as I hold you back, my army can sweep through Asgard. Odin, Odin, I will reclaim everything I lost back then!"
Odin said no more, the Eternal Spear unleashed a golden energy Impact, heading straight for Malekith.
The King of the Dark Elves quickly dodged, simultaneously releasing dark energy to counterattack.
The battle between the two powerhouses caused an energy storm, and the space around the Bifrost Bridgebegan to distort.
Odin's power was undoubtedly immense, but Malekith, after five thousand years of preparation, had also reached an unprecedented level.
More importantly, Odin's heart was with Frigga, preventing him from fighting with full strength.
"Watch your kingdom burn, All-Father."
Malekith sneered amidst the energy clash.
"This is the taste of revenge."
Odin looked at the rising smoke from various parts of Asgard, listening to the cries of the people, his heart torn.
He wanted to go to the royal palace to rescue Frigga.
But Malekith's attacks were like a Shadow, making it impossible for him to disengage.
"I will kill you."
Odin roared, "And honor Frigga with your head!"
"Survive first, old man."
Malekith scoffed.
Back in the royal palace, Loki and Lin Feng were already engaged in battle with Algrim... 134: Senzu Bean! He used a Senzu Bean!
Thor knelt beside Frigga, watching his Mother's life slowly ebb away in agony, powerless to do anything.
Although Algrim was powerful, facing the combined assault of Loki and Lin Feng, he began to show signs of decline.
Loki's magic and the power of Jotunheim combined perfectly with Lin Feng's elusive movements.
"Why are you helping me?"
Loki asked Lin Feng during a lull in the fight.
Lin Feng dodged an attack from Algrim, responding calmly.
"Because it's the right thing to do."
Loki gave a bitter smile.
"I never knew what was right."
"Now you do."
Lin Feng said, "Protecting those you love, that is what's right."
Algrim let out a pained roar.
Ch:130
The Aether began to lose control, cracks appeared on his body, and red light seeped out from within.
"I won't die alone!"
He lunged at Thor and Frigga, clearly intending to take two more people with him before he died.
"No!"
Loki shouted, instantly teleporting in front of Algrim, his hands transforming into ice blades that plunged into Algrim's chest.
Algrim hadn't anticipated Loki's speed, and the ice blades pierced his chest.
But he still charged forward, dragging Loki towards Thor and Frigga.
Just at this critical moment, Lin Feng flashed behind Algrim and struck him on the back of the neck with his palm:
"Enough."
Time seemed to freeze, and Algrim's body suddenly stopped moving.
Then, like a stone statue, it cracked open, and the Aether surged out from the fissures, forming a torrent of red energy.
Loki quickly erected a magic barrier, protecting Thor and Frigga.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng took out a strange container from his 懷 and collected the overflowing Aether.
When everything settled, Algrim had already turned into a pile of black powder.
Only a red core—the Aether Gem—hovered in the air before falling into the container in Lin Feng's hand.
Loki and Thor immediately rushed to Frigga's side.
Her breathing was so faint it was almost imperceptible, and her face was as pale as snow.
"Mother, hold on."
Thor said in agony.
"We defeated the enemy, you must live, please!"
Seeing Frigga on the brink, Loki and Thor's hearts were filled with despair.
Just as they were about to give up hope, Lin Feng took out a glowing magical bean from his embrace and said firmly:
"This magical bean can bring people back from the dead."
"You... you mean this bean can save her?"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Thor's eyes as he stared intently at Lin Feng.
"Yes, but time is short, we must act immediately."
Lin Feng said no more and quickly placed the magical bean into Frigga's mouth.
As the magical bean melted, a warm light emanated from Frigga's body, as if awakening her life.
"Mother!"
Thor and Loki cried out almost simultaneously, watching Frigga's transformation with hopeful anticipation.
A moment later, Frigga's eyelids trembled slightly, then slowly opened, her expression somewhat dazed.
"I... wasn't I dead?"
"Mother, you're fine!"
Thor wept tears of joy, excitedly grasping Frigga's hand.
"Mr. Lin saved you, he used a magical bean!"
...135: Malekith was laughing his head off!
Frigga looked at Lin Feng in shock, her face full of gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I don't know how to repay you."
Lin Feng waved his hand indifferently.
"Now is not the time for that, we must deal with the enemy first."
Frigga's heart was anxious, and she immediately thought of Odin's safety.
"No, I must go find Odin. He must be worried about me, please help me!"
"We'll go together."
Loki said firmly, though he still had doubts in his heart.
But at this moment, he understood that his mother's safety was the most important thing.
The three quickly rushed towards the Rainbow Bridge.
Lin Feng was in front, with Thor and Loki close behind.
As they arrived, the atmosphere above the Rainbow Bridge grew even more tense, and the aftershocks of battle still permeated the air.
Meanwhile, Odin's battle with Malekith was still raging fiercely.
Odin was furious, his heart filled with worry for Frigga.
Each attack carried his hatred for Malekith and his concern for his wife, yet Malekith seemed to grow increasingly smug in the fight.
"Look, Allfather, your kingdom is crumbling!"
Malekith sneered, dark energy constantly gathering around him, forming a massive vortex.
"I won't let you succeed!"
Odin roared, the power of Gungnir growing stronger, trying to break through Malekith's defenses.
However, Malekith's power was also continuously increasing, as if he had long been fully prepared.
The battle between the two powerful beings caused an energy storm, and the surrounding space twisted like an illusion, dazzling to the eye.
"You will never win this war, Odin."
Malekith's voice was merciless.
"I will make you lose everything until you become a sacrifice for my revenge!"
Just then, Lin Feng, Thor, and Loki finally arrived on the battlefield.
Odin saw them and shouted in surprise:
"Thor? Loki? Mr. Lin? Go save your mother!"
"Mother is fine!"
Thor quickly replied.
"She has been revived, and the Cursed Warrior has been slain!"
Malekith was stunned, his face showing disbelief.
"Impossible!"
"Mr. Lin's strength is beyond your imagination!"
0 --- Request for flowers --- Loki sneered, a confident glint in his eyes.
"Even if the three of you come together, it's just a drop in the bucket."
Malekith sneered, dark energy gathering in his hand, preparing to launch a fiercer attack.
Lin Feng said nothing, his gaze like a torch, staring directly at Malekith.
He knew that the battle had reached a critical moment. He whispered to Thor and Loki.
0 .. 0
"Get ready, we'll attack together."
"Alright!"
Thor and Loki responded in unison, and the three quickly formed a battle formation, ready to meet the impending clash.
"Do you really think you can change anything?"
Malekith mocked, then suddenly charged forward, dark energy surging towards them like a tide.
"Go!"
Lin Feng roared, instantly launching an attack, transforming into a streak of light that shot towards Malekith.
At the same time, Thor and Loki were not to be outdone.
They launched attacks from both sides.
The power of the three converged in an instant, forming a powerful energy wave that surged towards Malekith... above.
136: Malekith turns dark!
"Hmph, how ridiculous!"
Malekith snorted, trying to resist this power, but he clearly underestimated Lin Feng and their combined attack.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the energy wave collided with Malekith's dark energy, sparking countless flashes of light that instantly illuminated the entire Rainbow Bridge.
"Your power... is actually so strong!"
Malekith's face showed fear, and a feeling of unease began to spread in his heart, "Zero Two Zero."
"This is for our home!"
Thor roared, continuing to charge forward, the light of Gungnir flashing in his hand.
"For Frigga!"
Loki's magic intertwined in the air, forming a protective barrier that blocked Malekith's counterattack.
Lin Feng, meanwhile, moved nimbly through the battle, using his unique footwork to constantly search for Malekith's weaknesses, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.
"You foolish gods, how dare you challenge me!"
Malekith roared, dark energy swirling madly around him, attempting to repel Lin Feng and the other two in one fell swoop.
"This time, I won't let you escape!"
Lin Feng responded calmly, his heart already prepared to give his all.
The battle intensified, the energy storm on the Rainbow Bridge grew fiercer, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble at this moment.
Each attack was like a thunderclap, tearing through the air and stirring up waves of divine power.
"I won't let you succeed!"
Malekith gritted his teeth, dark energy gathering in his hand, preparing to unleash his final move.
"Quick, concentrate your power!"
Lin Feng shouted loudly, and the three quickly adjusted their formation, preparing to meet Malekith's final attack.
"Go!"
Malekith roared, his dark energy transforming into a massive vortex that shot towards Lin Feng and the others.
"Now!"
At Lin Feng's command, the three worked together, unleashing all their power to meet the dark vortex.
"Boom!"
With a deafening crash, the collision of energy was like falling stars, and the entire Rainbow Bridge trembled with this power.
Light and darkness intertwined, forming a dazzling column of light.
As the energy erupted, Malekith's form was gradually swallowed, anger and despair intertwined on his face.
Ch:131
No! This is impossible!"
"Let's end this now!"
Lin Feng sneered, and the power in his hand surged like a tide, striking Malekith's heart.
"Ah!"
Malekith let out a shrill scream, and dark energy violently churned within him.
As the energy erupted, Malekith's figure was gradually engulfed, anger and despair intertwined on his face.
"No! This is impossible!"
"Let's end this now!"
Lin Feng sneered, and the power in his hand surged like a tide, striking Malekith's heart.
"Ah!"
Malekith let out a shrill scream, and dark energy violently churned within him.
However, just as everyone thought victory was within reach, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Malekith's face.
"Do you really think this is all my power?"
He sneered, his voice full of chilling confidence.
Malekith took out a crimson gemstone from his embrace, which was the aether gemstone—an ancient artifact containing infinite dark power...
137: Lin Feng Acts! Instant Kill of the God-King!
"Watch closely, this is true power!"
Malekith held the gemstone high.
The red energy within the gemstone immediately coiled around his arm like a living thing, rapidly spreading throughout his body.
"Oh no!"
Odin was greatly alarmed.
"He's going to merge with the aether gemstone! Thor, Loki, Mr. Lin, be careful! That's ancient dark power, enough to destroy the Nine Realms!"
Malekith's body began to undergo terrifying changes.
His already gloomy face became even more twisted, and strange black patterns, like snakes, appeared on his skin, slithering across it.
His body continuously swelled, muscles tearing and reassembling.
His eyes turned a dazzling crimson, emitting an ominous glow.
"Perish, Asgard!"
Malekith let out an inhuman roar, his voice mixed with a metallic echo.
He had completely transformed into the legendary Cursed Warrior.
Dark divine power surged from his body like a tide, sweeping across the entire Bifrost Bridge.
"We can't let him control the gemstone's power!"
Thor roared, leaping high into the air.
Mjolnir arced a silvery-white line through the air, striking directly at Malekith's head.
Loki was not to be outdone, his hands quickly forming seals.
Dozens of illusory daggers condensed in the air, raining down on Malekith like a meteor shower.
"This is for Mother!"
He said through gritted teeth.
However, Malekith's power surged after his transformation.
He casually waved his hand, and a black energy wave sent Thor's Mjolnir flying.
Then, a strange red barrier appeared around his body.
All the illusory daggers vanished the moment they touched the barrier.
"Ants!"
Malekith sneered, pushing his hands forward abruptly.
A black and red energy wave, like a tangible entity, crashed into Thor and Loki.
"Watch out!"
Lin Feng shouted, but it was too late.
The energy wave heavily struck the two, and Thor and Loki flew out like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the Bifrost Bridge.
Blood seeped from their mouths.
"Thor! Loki!"
Odin roared, the Eternal Spear in his hand glowing brilliantly.
"Malekith, how dare you!"
Odin leaped forward, the Eternal Spear pointing directly at Malekith's heart.
The two powerful figures clashed again, energy colliding and exploding in the air, forming astonishing flashes of lightning.
Illuminating the entire night sky of Asgard.
However, Malekith, fused with the aether gemstone, possessed power beyond everyone's imagination.
He was no longer the Dark Elf who relied on schemes, but a Cursed Warrior with the power to destroy heaven and earth.
"Odin, you are old."
Malekith mocked.
The dark energy in his hand coiled around the Eternal Spear like chains, and with a fierce pull, Odin's body involuntarily tilted forward.
Malekith seized this fleeting opportunity.
His other hand condensed a black energy blade, stabbing directly at Odin's chest.
"Father!"
Thor weakly cried out, trying to stand up to help his father, but his severely injured body made even standing difficult.
Just at the critical moment, a figure appeared like lightning, blocking Odin.
It was Lin Feng!
... 138: Malekith is Stunned!
He crossed his hands, taking Malekith's energy blade head-on.
"What?!"
Malekith looked at Lin Feng in surprise.
"You can block my attack with your bare hands?"
Lin Feng did not answer, but slowly raised his head, his gaze like a torch.
"Malekith, your opponent is me."
His voice was calm, yet filled with unshakeable determination.
"Odin, take Thor and Loki out of here."
Lin Feng said without looking back.
"Leave this to me."
"Mr. Lin, he is no longer an ordinary Dark Elf."
Odin said worriedly.
"The power of the aether gemstone is too strong, even I find it difficult to deal with."
"I know."
Lin Feng nodded lightly.
"But there are some powers you haven't witnessed yet."
With that, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Lin Feng, like a sleeping beast awakened.
His eyes began to change.
His originally clear pupils were gradually replaced by a strange red, and his pupils became vertical beast eyes.
"This is..."
Odin looked at Lin Feng's transformation in shock, seemingly recognizing something.
Mysterious patterns appeared on Lin Feng's skin, not black, but deep red.
Like flowing blood.
His aura grew stronger and stronger, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavy due to his presence.
"It's truly surprising, you've hidden such powerful strength."
Malekith narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Feng warily.
"But what does it matter? The power of the aether gemstone is invincible!"
"Then let's see."
Lin Feng sneered, his figure flashed, instantly appearing before Malekith, and punched out.
Malekith hastily raised his arms to block.
But Lin Feng's fist was wrapped in strange red energy.
With one punch, he actually broke through Malekith's defense, directly hitting his chest.
"Pfft!"
Malekith spat out a mouthful of black blood, his body flying backward, crashing heavily against the railing of the Bifrost Bridge.
"How is this possible?"
Malekith looked at the wound on his chest in disbelief, black blood continuously gushing out.
Lin Feng did not give him time to think, and rushed forward again.
His hands were like sharp blades, each strike carrying destructive power.
Although Malekith possessed the aether gemstone, he could only passively defend against Lin Feng's attacks.
"Mr. Lin's power..."
Thor struggled to stand up, looking in shock at the red figure in the center of the battlefield.
"That is the legendary Demon Bloodline."
Odin said in a deep voice.
"It is said to possess the power to devour all things, an existence that can contend with gods. I didn't expect Mr. Lin to be a descendant of the Demon."
The battle grew more intense, Lin Feng and Malekithfiercely clashing on the Bifrost Bridge.
Each collision triggered an energy storm, and the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart.
"I won't lose to you!"
Malekith roared, releasing all the aether gemstoneenergy within him.
Forming a huge black and red energy vortex.
Ch:132
Die!"
The energy vortex devoured Lin Feng, and wherever it passed, cracks appeared on the surface of the Rainbow Bridge.
However, facing this destructive attack, Lin Feng revealed a strange smile... 139: Malekith Falls!?
"Have you finally shown your true strength?"
Lin Feng clasped his hands together, and the red patterns all over his body became more pronounced, wriggling like living creatures.
He slowly spread his arms, and a huge blood-red vortex expanded from within him.
It collided head-on with Malekith's energy vortex.
"This is... Devouring Power!"
Odin exclaimed.
"The most powerful ability of the Demon Race in legends—!"
The two energies met in the air, erupting in a deafening roar.
However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Feng's blood-red vortex actually began to devour Malekith's dark-red energy.
Like a bottomless pit, it continuously absorbed the opponent's power.
"No! This is impossible!"
Malekith watched in horror as his energy was devoured little by little.
"The Aether is invincible!"
"Before the power of devouring, nothing is invincible."
Lin Feng said calmly, slowly pushing his hands forward.
The blood-red vortex grew larger and larger, and the speed of devouring became faster and faster.
Malekith felt the Aether's energy within him being frantically drained.
His body began to return to its original state, the black patterns gradually faded, and the red light in his eyes began to dim.
"No! Don't!"
Malekith roared in despair, trying to retain the power of the Aether, but it was all in vain.
Lin Feng's blood-red vortex had completely enveloped Malekith.
The Aether's energy was completely absorbed, and Malekith reverted to his Dark Elf form, kneeling weakly on the ground.
"You... who exactly are you?"
Malekith asked tremblingly, his eyes filled with fear.
Lin Feng slowly approached, the blood-red patterns gradually fading, and his eyes returned to normal.
He looked at Malekith calmly, a hint of pity in his voice.
"I am just a passing traveler, but the crimes you have committed must be punished."
After speaking, Lin Feng extended his hand and gently touched Malekith's forehead.
A red light flashed, and Malekith's body disintegrated like sand, disappearing on the Rainbow Bridge.
The Aether, having lost its host, floated in the air, its red energy surging uneasily.
Lin Feng reached out and grasped it; the crystal's light immediately dimmed, seemingly submitting to his power.
"Mr. Lin, you..."
Thor walked over with difficulty, his eyes filled with awe.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and handed the Aether to Odin.
"This thing is too dangerous; it's best to keep it properly."
Odin solemnly took the crystal and gave Lin Feng a deep look.
0 .. 0
"Mr. Lin, your strength far exceeds my imagination. The Demon Race has long disappeared into the river of history; I never expected there to be descendants. Asgard owes you a huge favor."
"No need to thank me; I just did what I should."
Lin Feng said softly, a hint of fatigue on his face.
Using the power of the Demon Race bloodline clearly consumed a lot of his energy.
Loki also walked over, scarred but with complex emotions in his eyes.
"Thank you for saving Mother, and for saving all of us."
Lin Feng nodded, saying nothing more.
In the distance, Frigga walked over, supported by several maids, her face still showing signs of lingering shock... on.
140: Annihilate the Dark Elves!
"It's all over."
Lin Feng bowed to Frigga.
"Malekith has been completely eliminated, and Asgard has returned to peace."
Frigga looked at Lin Feng gratefully.
"Mr. Lin, if it weren't for you, the outcome today would have been completely different. Asgard will always be your friend!"
Facing the gratitude, Lin Feng's expression was calm as he stood on the Rainbow Bridge, the breeze gently ruffling his hair.
"This '020' was just a small favor."
Lin Feng said calmly, as if the earth-shattering battle just now was merely a minor skirmish.
In fact, he not only saved Odin's family but also received a system reward—the opportunity to advance his Demon Race bloodline.
"Mr. Lin is too modest."
Frigga said gently.
"Without you, Asgard might have fallen."
However, Lin Feng's expression suddenly became serious. He looked towards Asgard in the distance, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Now is not the time to celebrate."
Lin Feng said in a deep voice.
"Although Malekith has been eliminated, the Dark Elves have not been completely eradicated. They are still wreaking havoc throughout Asgard and must be dealt with quickly."
Everyone's expressions tightened upon hearing this.
In the distance, explosions and shouts of battle could be faintly heard from Asgard City, and black smoke rose from several buildings.
"Mr. Lin is right."
Odin gripped Gungnir, a hint of battle intent flashing in his eyes.
"With Malekith's death, the leaderless Dark Elves will surely become even more frantic. We must act immediately!"
"Father, I'll go to the West District!"
Thor raised Mjolnir, lightning crackling on its hammerhead.
"I'll go to the North District."
Loki's dagger appeared in his hand, a dangerous smile on his lips.
Odin nodded.
"I will lead the guard to clear the Central Plaza. Frigga, you are responsible for protecting the wounded and civilians."
As everyone was about to split up, Lin Feng was already standing at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, his gaze fixed on the distance.
"I'll go to the East and South Districts; that's where the Dark Elves are most concentrated."
Lin Feng's voice was calm but filled with undeniable power.
"The East and South Districts combined have at least a thousand Dark Elves!"
Thor said in surprise.
"That's too dangerous!"
Lin Feng merely smiled slightly, saying nothing more 0... The next moment, his figure suddenly blurred, leaving only a deep footprint on the ground.
He burst forth with terrifying speed, exceeding the speed of sound, and instantly vanished from everyone's sight.
"This... what speed is this?"
Thor watched in shock in the direction Lin Feng had disappeared.
"As expected of the inheritor of the Demon Race bloodline."
Odin said in a deep voice.
"We can't fall behind either; let's act immediately!"
..
In the East District Plaza, hundreds of Dark Elves were wantonly destroying everything.
Asgardian buildings constantly collapsed under their energy weapons.
Suddenly, a red light descended from the sky, directly piercing through a Dark Elf leader. 3.7
Lin Feng stood in the center of the plaza, red patterns once again appearing on his skin, his eyes cold vertical pupils.
"End your slaughter."
Lin Feng's voice was calm yet full of majesty.
The Dark Elves roared in anger, and hundreds of energy attacks simultaneously assailed Lin Feng.
Lin Feng did not dodge, spreading his hands as a blood-red energy field expanded from within him... 141: Odin's Gratitude! The Royal Treasury!
All attacks were absorbed by this energy field, disappearing without a trace.
"Is this all your power?"
Lin Feng said softly, "Then, it's my turn."
His figure suddenly vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in the midst of a group of Dark Elves.
His hands were like sharp blades; each strike could pierce through the Dark Elves' armor and bodies.
He faced hundreds of Dark Elves alone, yet moved as if through an empty land.
In just 06 three minutes, the Dark Elves in the East District Plaza were completely annihilated; not a single one escaped Lin Feng's attack.
He did not linger, his figure flashing as he flew towards the South District.
At the same time, Odin led the guard in a fierce battle against the Dark Elves in the Central Plaza.
The light of Gungnir streaked across the sky; each strike could eliminate several enemies.
Thor wielded Mjolnir in the West District, lightning splitting the Dark Elves into pieces.
Loki, in the North District, cleverly harvested enemy lives with illusions and daggers.
But what was most astonishing was Lin Feng's performance.
Ch:133
He single-handedly fought enemies from two zones, moving so fast it was hard to catch, and hitting with enough power to kill in one blow.
The Dark Elves in the south district were harvested by Lin Feng like wheat, unable to even organize an effective defense.
"Over there!"
An Asgardian soldier pointed into the distance, where Lin Feng's figure moved through the enemy ranks like a red lightning bolt.
Wherever he went, Dark Elves fell.
Every one of his strikes was incredibly precise, wasting not an ounce of strength.
In half a day, the Dark Elves in Asgard were completely eradicated.
Lin Feng stood on the high tower in the south district, looking down at the now peaceful city.
He put away the power of his Demon Bloodline, returning to his normal appearance... At dusk, inside the great hall of the Asgardian Royal Palace, Odin gathered everyone for a celebration banquet.
When Lin Feng walked into the hall, the entire place fell silent, and countless gazes of awe were cast upon him.
In this battle, he alone eliminated nearly two thousand Dark Elves, a feat that had already spread throughout Asgard.
"Mr. Lin!"
Odin rose from his throne and spoke loudly.
"If not for you today, Asgard would have paid an unknown price to repel the Dark Elves. You not only saved my family but also protected all of Asgard. Please accept my sincerest gratitude!"
All Asgardians stood up and saluted Lin Feng.
Thor and Loki also stood in the front row, their eyes filled with admiration.
Lin Feng remained as calm as ever, nodding slightly.
"I did this to protect Earth. After all, Earth and Asgard are closely related, and the peace of the Nine Realms is equally important to Earth."
Odin looked deeply at Lin Feng, then suddenly chuckled:
"Mr. Lin is so powerful, yet still concerned about the safety of Earth, which is truly admirable. To show my appreciation, I would like to invite Mr. Lin to the Royal Palace treasury to freely choose a treasure as a token of my gratitude."
The hall immediately erupted in an uproar.
Asgard's treasury housed the most precious treasures of the Nine Realms, and Odin had never been so generous to an outsider.
A flicker of surprise passed through Lin Feng's eyes, then he smiled faintly.
"Since that is the case, then I shall not decline."
It's a freebie, no reason to refuse... 142: Infinity Gauntlet! Eternal Flame!
After the banquet, Odin personally led Lin Feng to the treasury located deep within the Royal Palace.
The two walked through a long corridor and arrived before a massive golden door.
Odin raised Gungnir and gently tapped the door.
With a muffled sound, the door slowly opened, and dazzling golden light poured out from within, making it difficult to look directly at.
"Please come in, Mr. Lin."
Odin gestured for him to enter.
"This place houses the most precious treasures of the Nine Realms; some, even I am not fully aware of their complete power."
Lin Feng followed Odin into the treasury, secretly gasping in awe.
The interior of the treasury was much larger than it appeared from the outside, with countless rare and exotic treasures displayed within.
Each one emanated powerful energy fluctuations.
"This is the Casket of Ancient Winters, the greatest treasure of Jotunheim."
Odin said, pointing to a blue square box:
"This is the Eternal Flame, capable of burning all things, even igniting stars."
Lin Feng's gaze was drawn to a golden gauntlet.
The gauntlet had six indentations, clearly meant for embedding something.
"That is the prototype of the Infinity Gauntlet. It is said to be able to hold the power of six Infinity Stones."
Odin explained.
"However, it is just an empty shell now; the Stones have long been scattered across the Nine Realms."
Lin Feng continued his tour, each treasure astounding him.
These were all artifacts that only appeared in legends, each one priceless.
Finally, Lin Feng's gaze moved back and forth between the Infinity Gauntlet and the Eternal Flame.
"I'll choose these two."
Lin Feng said, pointing to the Infinity Gauntlet and the Eternal Flame.
"The Infinity Gauntlet can be used as material; I can refashion it into other divine artifacts; as for the Eternal Flame, I can refine it and integrate it into my Demon Bloodline to enhance my strength."
Odin was somewhat surprised by Lin Feng's choice and insight.
But he did not go back on his word, generously handing the two treasures to Lin Feng.
"These two treasures are immensely powerful, Mr. Lin, please use them with utmost caution."
Odin said solemnly.
Lin Feng nodded, putting away the treasures.
The two left the treasury and returned to the Royal Palace hall.
"Thank you for His Majesty Odin's generosity."
Lin Feng bowed.
"If you don't mind, I would like to return to my room to cultivate and consolidate the results of today's battle."
"Of course, please do."
Odin personally escorted Lin Feng to the entrance of the hall and watched him leave... After Lin Feng left, Odinreturned to his chambers, where Frigga had been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Lin's strength is indeed astonishing."
Frigga said softly.
"You seem very interested in him?"
Odin sat down and sighed.
"It's not just about strength. Have you ever thought how wonderful it would be if someone could control Hela?"
Frigga was startled, then understood her husband's meaning.
"Are you saying... Mr. Lin and Hela?"
"Exactly."
Odin nodded.
"Hela's power is too great; we had no choice but to seal her away. But if one day the seal weakens, who can stop her? Today, I witnessed Mr. Lin's strength; perhaps only he can contend with Hela."
"You want to set them up?"
Frigga was surprised, but a hint of approval flashed in her eyes.
"That is indeed a good idea. Hela has been alone for too long; perhaps Mr. Lin can change her."
... 143: Divine Body Advances Again!!
"If successful, it would not only solve Hela's problem but also add a powerful ally to Asgard."
Odin mused.
"But this matter cannot be rushed; we need to plan carefully."
Frigga nodded gently.
"We can first understand Mr. Lin's thoughts, then make our plans."
.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng returned to his room and sat cross-legged.
He took out the Eternal Flame he had just obtained from Odin and carefully studied this artifact that could burn all things.
"I didn't expect to get two divine artifacts so easily."
Lin Feng muttered to himself.
"It seems the rewards from this mission are much greater than anticipated."
He was completely unaware that Odin was already plotting how to make him his son-in-law.
To have him subdue the sealed Goddess of death, Hela.
Lin Feng focused his attention on the Eternal Flame and began to try and refine its power.
The Eternal Flame emitted a dazzling light, slowly merging into Lin Feng's Demon Bloodline.
As the refinement progressed, Lin Feng could feel his power steadily increasing, and his Demon Bloodlinebecame purer and stronger.
"It truly is a good thing."
Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction, continuing to refine the power of the Eternal Flame.
"Once fully refined, my strength will increase by at least thirty percent."
The energy of the Eternal Flame flowed through the meridians in his body, perfectly combining with his Demon Bloodline.
Lin Feng closed his eyes, immersed in his cultivation.
He was oblivious to the storm that was about to arrive.
The night in Asgard was exceptionally quiet, as if making final preparations for the impending upheaval.
Lin Feng sat cross-legged in the guest room of the Asgardian Royal Palace.
The light of the Eternal Flame gradually dimmed, eventually disappearing completely into his body.
After a whole night of cultivation, he had successfully integrated the primordial power of the Eternal Flame with his own Demon Bloodline.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt his body filled with endless energy, as if he could detonate a star at any moment.
"Indeed worthy of being a supreme treasure of the Nine Realms."
Lin Feng stood up and stretched his limbs.
He could feel his strength had improved significantly compared to yesterday; not only had his power increased by thirty percent, but his control over Fire had also reached a whole new level.
Outside the window, the morning light of Asgard had already bathed the golden palace.
Lin Feng looked at the scenery outside the window, a hint of reluctance welling up in his heart.
This divine realm was indeed extraordinarily beautiful, but he knew he could not stay long. Earth was his home, and there were people there who cared for him.
"It's time to go back."
Lin Feng took a deep breath, placing the prototype of the Infinity Gauntlet into his spatial ring.
This treasure required more time to research; in the future, it might become another powerful weapon for him.
