Two hours later, the mirror dimension tore open, and Su Ye and Hela returned to the great hall once again.
Looking up, they saw Odin and Thor.
At that moment, both of them tensed up immediately, as if a storm was about to rage upon them.
However, Hela in front of them was covered in sweat, her hair clinging to her forehead in damp strands, clearly having endured an even stronger storm.
Seeing this, Odin and Thor immediately turned their heads to look at Su Ye.
Odin huffed and glared, 'You bastard! What did you do to my daughter?!'
Thor, on the other hand, looked excited, 'So from now on, should I call you brother-in-law? That means we finally have connections on Earth! If I join the Great Wall Guardians in the future, I won't be outnumbered anymore, right? Nice!'
Frigga looked on with concern, while only Loki seemed a little regretful, feeling that she was fierier than Hela and shouldn't have lost to her.
Well, Thor was still unaware that at this moment, he had already been "cheated on" mentally.
But Su Ye didn't like this kind of situation.
"Father!"
Hela didn't explode in anger as everyone had expected. Instead, she stepped forward and performed an Asgardian salute to Odin.
In that instant, Odin suddenly felt that his life had been worth it. Even if he were to die right then and there, he would have no regrets.
Meanwhile, Thor was even more excited than Odin.
Finally, there was someone reliable to take over ruling Asgard, and he could unload this heavy burden to go wander the cosmos with Su Ye.
At that moment, Thor even wanted to bid farewell to his old father and take Loki along to roam the universe with Su Ye.
He had heard that during this time, the Great Wall Guardians had accomplished many great feats on both Earth and in space, even making a name for themselves in Knowhere and Xandar.
And yet, because he had to stay in Asgard to govern the realm, Thor hadn't even gotten a taste of the action.
For someone like Thor, who had been adventurous since childhood and always longed to explore the universe, this felt worse than actually eating crap.
"Father, no need to say anything more, just hurry up and prepare for the coronation! Big Sis can't wait!"
Thor tugged at Odin and loudly reminded him.
Odin chuckled bitterly—was it really Hela who couldn't wait, or was it this brat?
No one objected, and the coronation ceremony of the Asgardian God-King soon began.
The returning ruler, Hela, under the watchful eyes of the Asgardian people, whose memories had been restored, donned the crown, took up the Eternal Spear, and became the new God-King of Asgard.
Thus, without shedding a single drop of blood, Asgard underwent a peaceful transition of power.
From the abdicated regent Odin to the common citizens of Asgard, everyone sincerely welcomed Hela's return.
At the moment she sat on the throne, Hela even felt a little unreal.
"What are you thinking about? Straighten up and focus—you need to accept the people's homage!"
Su Ye snorted from the side.
Hela immediately straightened her posture, mumbling softly, "I'm just... just a little unaccustomed to it, no need to be so fierce~"
"Hiss!"
On the other side, Odin and Thor both took deep breaths, nearly suffocating themselves in disbelief.
Just look at this! Was this really the same Hela who had just stepped out of the portal, arrogant and domineering, vowing to bury all of Asgard with her?
'What the hell did your brother-in-law do to your sister? Why has she changed so much all of a sudden?'
Odin couldn't help but glance at Thor.
Thor could only shrug—if he had known, he wouldn't still be treating Jane like a treasure. He would've long taken Jane and Loki together and enjoyed a 'big happy sleepover' by now.
The entire coronation celebration was set to last for a full seven days.
And as the main figures, Odin and Hela naturally had to be present the entire time.
On the other hand, Thor, once the war god and idol of Asgard, seemed to have been forgotten. No one remembered how he had once stood in the same place, receiving the cheers of the people as the first heir to the throne.
But that was exactly what Thor wanted.
While Odin and Hela were emotionally performing the grand ceremony of succession, Thor had already set off on a cosmic journey with Su Ye.
This time, they were accompanied by Loki, and their destination was Nidavellir, the land of the dwarves.
It was Su Ye who suggested coming here first to see Nidavellir before it was destroyed by Thanos. After all, this place was known as the greatest weapons forge in the Nine Realms—whether it was Mjolnir or Thor's later weapon, Stormbreaker, both were made here.
Even Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet was forged here.
When Su Ye brought Thor and Loki here, Thanos had yet to arrive, allowing them to witness Nidavellir in its prime.
Using a dying star as its core, Nidavellir guided its power through concentric rings, constructing an interstellar-level forge.
Just looking at it was utterly awe-inspiring.
"Hey! Thor! Welcome!"
Seeing Thor, the Dwarf King enthusiastically came forward to greet him.
Su Ye was speechless as he looked at the Dwarf King, who was several times taller than himself, and couldn't help but complain internally.
"You guys actually call this thing a dwarf?"
Although its body proportions were quite odd, given its height, it should definitely be called a giant instead.
Forget Earthlings and Asgardians—even Thanos' biggest henchman, Black Dward (Cull Obsidian), was a little shrimp compared to this guy!
Thor didn't mind. They had been calling them dwarves for thousands of years, and they were used to it—it had nothing to do with height.
"Hey, Eitri! Long time no see!"
Thor raised his hand and greeted the Dwarf King with confidence and spirit—completely different from the miserable, lost look he had in Avengers: Infinity War.
"Thor, why are you here? Is your hammer broken and needs repair? Or do you want a new weapon forged?"
Eitri rubbed his hands together as he spoke. For these dwarves, who excelled in forging weapons, making weapons was like kneading dough—it was an addiction.
Thor first took out Mjolnir and showed it to the Dwarf King.
"The hammer is fine, it doesn't need repairs. We're here to forge an even more powerful weapon!"
On the way here, Su Ye had already discussed with Thor that they would forge a new weapon for him at Nidavellir, while Mjolnir would temporarily be lent to Su Ye.
Mjolnir initially had some objections to this arrangement, but after Su Ye reassured it and promised to find it a more 'well-endowed' wielder than Thor, it finally gave in.
In the end, it even let out a meowing sound in Su Ye's consciousness, completely solidifying its 'Meow Meow Hammer' nickname.
"That's easy. Anything else?"
Eitri spoke casually. They had already designed weapons stronger than Mjolnir long ago. The molds and materials were ready—it just needed to be forged in the furnace.
Thor turned to glance at Su Ye before nodding.
"Yes, there's one more thing. We need a gauntlet—one that can embed stones."
This was Su Ye's true purpose in coming here—to forge an Infinity Gauntlet that could hold the Infinity Stones. The whole excuse of checking out Nidavellir in its prime was just a bonus.
"A gauntlet that can embed stones?"
Eitri instantly understood what Thor meant. Although he hesitated at first, he eventually nodded firmly.
"No problem!"
For a fully operational Nidavellir and its master blacksmiths, forging weapons and gauntlets was an easy task.
The entire process took less than an afternoon, and both the new weapon and gauntlet were completed.
The new weapon was, of course, Thor's axe.
Looking at the beautiful design, the sleek lines, and the fierce, imposing appearance of Stormbreaker, Thor almost started drooling.
"What a masterpiece!"
Even though he was internally drooling, Thor couldn't show it too openly. After all, Mjolnir was still beside him—how would the hammer feel if he looked too excited?
But he also couldn't act too indifferent, or the new axe might feel unappreciated.
At that moment, Thor felt like a scumbag player caught between two girlfriends—unwilling to give up either, wanting them both.
Unfortunately for him, Su Ye had already blocked that possibility—he definitely couldn't have both, he had to choose one.
After some deliberation, Thor ultimately chose Stormbreaker.
"After all, we already agreed on this beforehand, didn't we? Hehe~ (￣▽￣～)~"
On the other side, Su Ye also obtained the Infinity Gauntlet, but he didn't immediately attempt to embed the Infinity Stones into it.
Eitri's craftsmanship was definitely reliable, so there was no need to test it on the spot. Besides, Su Ye didn't want anyone to know how many Infinity Stones he had collected.
At this point, Su Ye already possessed the Space Stone from the Tesseract, the Mind Stone from Loki's scepter, the Reality Stone from the Aether, the Power Stone from the Orb, and the Time Stone from the Eye of Agamotto.
Even though he hadn't deliberately gone out to collect the stones, he had inadvertently gathered five of them.
Damn, this completely blocked Thanos' path.
Thanos, still sitting on his throne somewhere in the universe, acting all high and mighty, would probably have quite the reaction if he found out about this.
However, Su Ye still had some respect for Thanos, this universe-level environmentalist, so he figured he should at least leave him one Infinity Stone.
So, he decided not to go after the Soul Stone and would leave it for Thanos.
"Brother Ye, where are we heading next?"
After getting his new axe, Thor was so excited that, despite being over a thousand years old, he was acting like a fresh recruit in a gang, itching to go out and fight someone immediately.
Su Ye thought for a moment. Earth still needed time to progress its technology, and the alien tech he had brought back was already enough for now. Any more would be too much to digest.
So, there wasn't much left to do out here. It was best to just head back to Earth.
After all, following the storyline, Thanos should be arriving on Earth soon.
After dealing with Thanos, his mission in this world would pretty much be complete.
Besides, after Avengers: Endgame, Marvel movies stopped being released in China, so for Chinese fans, the Marvel saga was already over.
"Let's go back to Earth and greet that universe's environmentalist."
Thor immediately grinned, "Let's go! I'll open the door!"
As he spoke, he swung Stormbreaker, and a rainbow-colored portal instantly appeared, teleporting them away.
Speaking, he swung the Stormbreaker in his hand, and a rainbow-colored light orb instantly appeared, taking them away from the spot.
Before leaving, Su Ye also left a cosmic communicator for Dwarf King Eitri, which he got from his mom. No matter the distance, it could enable real-time communication.
"If you encounter any trouble you can't get past, call me immediately!"
This was considered payment for the Infinity Gauntlet.
Su Ye took the Infinity Gauntlet, and all the materials were used up. If Thanos came back, the Dwarf King and his people would be in serious trouble.
So, Su Ye's promise was actually meant for Thanos.
Su Ye also left a similar promise to Xandar, as payment for their cosmic technology.
On Earth, the Bifrost landed with a loud boom, touching down in Los Angeles.
This was the first major city Thor saw on Earth. He and Jane had many wonderful memories here and had achieved quite a lot.
Things like "straight to the stomach" and even directly breaking into his son's palace.
Seeing Los Angeles again, Thor couldn't help but sigh.
"It's been a long time since I came back to Earth. It's been a long time since I've seen Jane."
As Thor spoke, he took out a phone. Jane had given it to him when he was last on Earth. It was filled with beautiful memories of the two of them—so dazzling that if revealed, it would instantly turn into a "Thor's private collection" kind of situation.
"Hey! I'm back!"
"Okay, wait there! I'll come find you right away!"
After saying that, Thor gave Su Ye an apologetic look.
"Uh, Brother Ye, I have something to do, so I'll leave for a bit. If you need anything, just find me. You can definitely find me, right?"
Saying that, Thor turned around, ready to leave.
Before leaving, he whispered, "Um… everyone has their own privacy. You're not someone who likes to peek at other people's private stuff, right?"
Seeing his slightly pleading expression, Su Ye instantly understood.
"If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of it. Turns out, I can watch 'movies' in first-person mode."
"No, wait—I can actually immerse myself in it, role-play, and even help people 'level up' directly."
"Old Thor, do you need a boosting service? I'm really cheap, fair to all, and guarantee top-quality results!"
Thor's eye twitched involuntarily. "Uh… actually, I don't need that."
Flying in the sky, Thor smacked himself hard. "Am I so full and bored that I had to remind him? Why did I remind him? What was I thinking?!"
