Chapter 710 Superman vs. Batman(1/4)
In Asgard, at this moment, Thor, the God of Thunder, has solved the "little" commotion caused by his half-brother, Loki, and is holding a banquet to celebrate his victory.
After all, for Asgardians, the two most indispensable things in life are wine and banquets.
They will party for days or even weeks on end to celebrate something memorable.
However, at this moment, as the God King, there was no trace of joy on Odin's face. Instead, he stood alone at the highest point of the palace and looked down at the nine realms, especially the one named "Midgard".
Earth, one eye reveals strong fear and vigilance.
Because he could feel that this important planet, which was originally within Asgard's sphere of influence, was exuding a powerful and strange power.
The source of this power is Dormammu's lost half of the dark dimension.
At present, the powerful people in the entire universe have known about this matter, and they are also extremely curious about Zuo Si, the foreign intruder and dimensional demon.
After all, there are many people who have the ability to defeat Dormammu outside the dark dimension.
But being able to wrest control of half of the dark dimension from him and make him hide like a bereaved dog and dare not show his face is worthy of vigilance and pondering.
What's more, Odin really wants to know why the Supreme Mage Ancient One, as the guardian of the earth, acquiesces to the existence of Zuo Si and his men.
Did the two parties reach some secret deal that no one knows about?
Or simply formed an alliance?
Due to the fact that his lifespan is about to run out, Odin is now more sensitive to the situation and changes in the universe than ever before.
Because he understands that Thor's current strength is simply not enough to support the great reputation Asgard has established.
Once he dies, those enemies will immediately come to try the new god king's strength.
Not to mention that Hela, the goddess of death, is eyeing her.
This is why Odin is so eager to let Thor grow up and step out of the huge shadow he casts to stand alone.
As for the Frost Giant riot caused by Loki, in his eyes, it was just a rebellious child trying to win more love and recognition from his parents, and it was never a serious matter.
In contrast, Zuo Si, who has become a new-dimensional demon with unknown intentions, is the one who really needs to focus on.
In particular, the powerful warrior monk Balthazar easily broke the magic he had cast on Thor's hammer, and also stole his own Destroyer Armor. No matter how you look at it, he is a very troublesome opponent.
"Father, what are you thinking about?"
Thor, who had become much more mature, came from behind holding a wine glass and looked down at the broken Rainbow Bridge.
"No, it's nothing. I'm thinking that you can definitely become a wise king."
A relieved smile appeared on Odin's old face.
Perhaps the biggest takeback this time is that as the son of the future God King, he has learned what responsibility and sacrifice are.
Thor changed his usual reckless and arrogant character and responded very calmly and humbly: "There will never be a wiser monarch and a more perfect father than you. And I still have a lot to learn. Maybe one day,
I can make you feel proud of me."
After hearing these words, Odin turned around and looked into his son's eyes with relief, raised his hand and patted the latter's shoulder gently: "You are already my pride, child. In addition, I have some questions that I want to ask
ask you."
"Oh? What is it?"
Thor blinked curiously.
"The man who took Mjolnir and claimed to be the Son of God."
Odin's expression suddenly became serious and serious.
"Balthazar?" Thor was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled. "He is a good person. Not only is he powerful, but he can always remain rational and calm no matter what happens. I think I should be able to
Become good friends with him."
"Are you sure you really know him?" Odin continued to ask expressionlessly.
Thor pondered for a moment and quickly shook his head: "Sorry, father, I don't know much about him. I only know that he works as a consultant for a government organization in Midgard. What, is there anything wrong with him?"
"He has a master named Soth.
And this man had just defeated Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension, and seized control of half of the dark dimension.
The most important thing is that the other party claims to be the protector of Midgard.
Do you understand what this means?"
Odin told everything he knew in one breath.
After all, he knew that one of his son's biggest shortcomings was that he was not very bright and easily trusted others.
"Meaning that we can become allies?" Thor asked in an uncertain tone.
"No!
That means that Midgard, the most important of the nine realms we rule, will gradually escape control and become a bargaining chip in the hands of the opponent.
The most important thing is that once Midgard is no longer under Asgard's control, the World Tree and Rainbow Bridge built around it will become in danger.
I don't mind you making friends, but before that you have to confirm whether the other person is a true friend.
Regarding this Balthazar and the master behind it, you need to be extra careful and vigilant.
Although I am not yet sure whether they are enemies or friends, the threat they pose is real."
Odin issued a serious warning, and at the same time no longer had any hope in Thor's talent for politics and strategy.
Because from his perspective, starting from Zuo Si's signing of the devil's contract with the Earth Security Council, it was equivalent to reaching into Asgard's territory.
If it had been the young and powerful Odin, he would have already arrived with the Eternal Gun.
But the problem is that he is now very close to death, and his strength has also dropped drastically, otherwise he would not have been patient when facing the Frost King Laufey.
Coupled with the ambiguous attitude of the Supreme Mage Ancient One, he finally chose to be patient and allowed the powerful monk to take away the Destroyer Armor.

way.
But it's a pity that Thor didn't understand his father's painstaking efforts, and just nodded his head in understanding to show that he understood.
…
On the other side, far away on Earth in this universe, SHIELD finally successfully launched an experiment to study the Cosmic Cube with the efforts of Nick Fury.
At this moment, in the deepest part of a secret base, a cube glowing with azure light is placed on a stand, continuously releasing huge energy into an energy storage device.
As a top expert who was temporarily recruited, Dr. Eric is leading his team to use a variety of cutting-edge instruments to try to figure out what this cube between energy and matter is and its infinite energy.
What is the source of .
After all, during World War II, Hydra leaders Red Skull and Dr. Zola used it to create many incredible things.
"Do you think it's possible for us to master the power of the Cosmic Cube?"
Nick Fury stood on the other side of the bulletproof glass that could withstand violent explosions, staring intently at the busy people below.
Maria Hill smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Sorry, I don't know, Director. But we have no choice, right?"
"Yes, we have no choice. In order to protect the earth and protect the survival and continuation of civilization, humans must master a weapon that can form a strategic deterrent. The Cosmic Cube is our only choice at the moment."
Director Lu Dan’s words seemed to be addressed to others, but also a bit like he was trying to convince himself.
After all, the dangers of studying something that can provide unlimited energy are self-evident.
Once the Cosmic Cube really gets out of control, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions, even if they are minor, the entire earth may be gone.
Just to review this plan, the representatives of the Security Council had intense confrontation for more than a week, and finally made a decision through voting.
There is no way, they are too insecure.
The more you know, the more you can't help but feel scared.
"Have you informed Mr. Balthazar about restarting the Cosmic Cube research project?"
Maria Hill asked cautiously.
Nick Fury replied expressionlessly: "There's no need for that. I'm afraid the other party has already known our plan, and even reminded us in a very subtle way that the power of the Cosmic Cube is extraordinary. This is why I must launch this plan.
reason."
"I don't understand. Since the Cosmic Cube is so powerful and dangerous, why doesn't Mr. Soth ask us to hand it over? He should be fully capable of forcing us to make compromises."
