The Asgardians' bifrost can be said to be one of the most convenient ways to travel in the universe. It could even be said that the reason the Asgardians were able to conquer the Nine Realms and establish such a vast territory, making the entire universe tremble at their name, was primarily due to the bifrost, rather than the power of the Aesir themselves.
After all, war is all about mobility. With a super-teleportation artifact like the bifrost, which can appear anywhere at any time, even a child who has only played a few strategy games would be enough to utterly crush legendary generals like Napoleon.
Of course, this also led to the Aesir hardly researching technology related to space travel. After all, even if you hide inside a space battleship, the Aesir can simply charge in and engage in boarding combat. Consequently, the Aesir's requirements for space battleships were naturally much lower.
"This... looks completely different from our technology. Is this so-called magic technology?" Mr. Fantastic stood on a battleship composed of sails and wood, a look of curiosity on his face.
The Aesir and Earth's Superheroes had all boarded these wooden sailing ships. At this moment, the Asgardian army was also boarding other vessels one by one. Clearly, these were the Asgardians' spaceships.
"Perhaps I could study this. How can such a battleship sail in space?"
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Loki said with a smile, walking over cheerfully. "Asgardian ships don't have the capability for interstellar travel. At most, they can only conduct some defensive battles in the space surrounding Asgard."
"If they really want to conduct interstellar travel, the Asgardians still rely entirely on the bifrost. Using the bifrost, they transport all these big guys directly to the front lines."
It must be said that Mr. Fantastic's popularity and temperament were indeed quite good. This was also why, despite conducting a bunch of messy experiments, he still maintained a good reputation among most Superheroes.
After all, Loki hadn't done anything on Earth yet and wasn't a supervillain; he was just an unsociable son of Odin among the Aesir. Therefore, he got along quite well with these Superheroes from Earth.
After all, everyone knew that for a mage like Loki, renowned for his intellect, finding someone he could talk to among the barbarian-like Aesir was extremely difficult.
However, among the people from Earth, Loki found quite a few commonalities. Although this cunning God of Lies couldn't truly open up to Earth's Superheroes and supervillains, he felt much more relaxed here than in Asgard.
After all, Earth had all kinds of people, unlike the Asgardians who shouted about things like honor in his ear every day.
"So that's how it is. But what principle is the bifrost based on..." Mr. Fantastic's eyes lit up as he asked Loki.
A smile appeared on Loki's face. Rune Technology was a specialty of Asgard. If one were to talk about true masters, it would definitely be Odin, followed by the God-Queen and Loki.
Ordinary Asgardians had no way of accessing the core Rune Secrets of the Aesir. Figures like Thor and the Four Warriors of the Palace were only concerned with power, honor, and combat, having done no research into the true essence of the Aesir.
In the past, no matter how well Loki researched magic and runes, the Asgardians didn't value it. Now that he had a chance to show off in front of a group of Earthlings, Loki immediately began explaining to Mr. Fantastic.
Of course, Doctor Doom, who seemed to be some distance away, also secretly turned on the recording equipment in his armor. Even other genius scientists like Tony Stark, who didn't quite understand, forcibly memorized these things.
Although there are many top scientists on Earth, the only ones who can truly integrate science and magic are Mr. Fantastic and Doctor Doom. Even the current Tony Stark was completely confused by Asgard's Rune Technology before developing something like the Destroyer Armor.
Loki wouldn't give away the most essential parts of the Aesir's Rune Technology for free, but he did explain some basic principles. Mr. Fantastic nodded repeatedly as he listened.
As the true ceiling of technology on Earth, and possibly even the ceiling of intelligence in the entire universe, even though Mr. Fantastic initially knew nothing about Rune Technology, he was able to chat with Loki by drawing parallels from other fields. This made the smile on Loki's face broaden.
If you're going to show off, you have to do it in front of capable people. What's the point of showing superiority to a bunch of illiterates?
Shin glanced at the glowing face of Mr. Fantastic and sighed softly.
"What's wrong, Kevin, my friend?" Thor the God of Thunder, who was drinking mead nearby, asked in confusion.
Although Thor's mind had improved slightly after his trip to Earth and his strength had increased significantly, his battle-hungry personality hadn't changed.
Shin looked at Thor's cheerful expression and rolled his eyes slightly. "I wouldn't expect you to understand. I'm just lamenting that someone has learned more new knowledge, which might just lead to even bigger trouble for Earth."
Thor scratched his head. "Like my brother Loki? The more spells he learns, the more he likes to play pranks, often looking for people to test his new spells on."
"No, no, it's not that malicious. He just often has things go wrong during his research. He doesn't intend to cause harm to people."
Shin shook his head. No matter how much trouble Mr. Fantastic caused, it had to be admitted that his intentions were always good. For example, exploring the Negative Space this time was intended to find more living space for the people of Earth.
Although in the end, it just gave a bunch of bugs more living space... Of course, the trouble Mr. Fantastic caused was often much bigger than what Loki caused. It was hard to say which of the two was the real "big trouble."
"Haha, actually Loki isn't a bad person; he just likes pranks a bit," the God of Thunder said, rubbing his head. Shin gave a strange smile; anyway, you're the one he stabs in the side, so if you're fine with it, then whatever.
Besides them, other Superheroes were also making their own preparations. For many, this was their first time going into space to fight.
As a beam of light from the bifrost rose, all the wooden battleships vanished in a flash. When everyone opened their eyes again, they found themselves in the middle of a brutal cosmic space.
