As Tony Stark and Black Widow spoke, Thor's eyes immediately lit up.
"Dark Elves!" Thor exclaimed excitedly, looking at everyone. "If that's the case, the most likely culprits are the Dark Elves. They live in Vanaheim, a dark world, which is also one of the Nine Realms!"
"And our activities in Asgard are basically all within the Nine Realms. If anyone has the best chance of sneaking someone into Asgard, it would be them!"
"Thor, in the myths, the place where Surtur lives also seems to be one of the Nine Realms, right?" Hawkeye glanced at Thor, his eyes gleaming.
"Yes, Muspelheim is indeed one of the Nine Realms, but it is inhabited by beasts and savages! Except for Surtur, most of them have low intelligence and are dominated by primitive desires for battle."
"So I don't think they can accomplish something like infiltrating Asgard."
"So, according to Stark's second theory, the most likely answer is A, the Dark Elves," Captain America concluded.
"That's right. If the enemy breached Asgard from within, the most likely option is the Dark Elves. If the enemy launched a direct assault on Asgard, the most likely option is Thanos!"
"Thor, the choice is yours."
Tony Stark nodded and said to Thor.
"I never believed anyone could directly invade Asgard and cripple it!" Thor answered almost without hesitation. "I choose A, the Dark Elves!"
[Correct Answer!]
[Congratulations to the respondent, Thor Odinson, for receiving a reward of one bottle of Super God Water.]
[The reward has been issued. Please check your inventory!]
Following the system's message, a seemingly ordinary small bottle, which didn't appear to have anything special about it, immediately appeared in Thor's hand.
But Thor's face couldn't help but light up with extreme excitement.
Because a flood of information about Super God Water suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Hahaha, this is Super God Water? This is practically tailor-made for me!" Thor exclaimed with elation.
"Thor, you seem so happy. What exactly does Super God Water do?" Black Widow couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Super God Water, once you drink it, it can unleash all the potential within the body!" Thor said enthusiastically to Black Widow.
"Isn't there a key prerequisite? That is, the person drinking the Super God Water must already possess great potential?"
"For someone ordinary like me, drinking Super God Water should be no different than drinking water, right?"
Tony Stark keenly grasped the key point in Thor's words and asked, looking at Thor.
"No, Stark, you're wrong," Thor shook his head. "Super God Water is highly poisonous. Anyone who drinks it must first resist its poison to unlock their potential! So…"
Thor patted Tony Stark's shoulder. "It's different from drinking water. At least you won't die from drinking water."
"So, besides Thor and Dr. Banner, the rest of us are out of luck with this stuff."
Hawkeye, Barton, quipped. "Maybe Captain America, too."
"Thanks, Barton, but I don't think I can handle it either," Captain America shook his head.
He just had superior physical attributes.
Greater strength, faster speed, incredible durability, and quicker reflexes, that was all.
But resistance to poison? Sorry, Captain America couldn't do that.
"Everyone, my divine power is about to be restored! This is the best news I've had since I came to Earth."
Thor was grinning like a child, so happy.
Then, without further ado, he opened his mouth and gulped down a large mouthful of Super God Water.
The Super God Water immediately surged through Thor's limbs and into every cell of his body...
A soul-piercing pain enveloped Thor.
"Aaah!"
Thor shuddered, immediately collapsing to the ground in agony. His whole body was convulsing and twitching uncontrollably, as if he were about to die.
"Thor!"
"Thor!"
Everyone on the scene was startled and swarmed around to check on Thor, helping him in a flurry of activity.
So, this was the "Super God Water" Thor was talking about being poisonous?
It was a bit too potent, wasn't it? Was Thor going to be poisoned to death like this? Fortunately, after struggling on the ground in pain for a while, Thor finally calmed down.
He gasped for breath, "I have to say, that feeling was absolutely terrible!"
"Thor, how are you feeling now?" Captain America went over to help Thor up, looking at him seriously.
"Now? Now I feel fantastic!" Thor couldn't help but laugh.
He had not only recovered his godly power but was also even stronger than before! The Super God Water had truly unleashed his full potential.
"Crack, crackle!"
Thor said, and with a thought, his body began to crackle with streaks of lightning, even his eyes sparking!
Then Thor casually pointed his hand forward.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning instantly struck out.
Crack, crackle!
Thor continued to experiment a few more times, thinking of it, and it happened, pointing wherever he wanted.
"Now, I can control lightning without a hammer!" Thor was full of excitement. "Now, I am the real God of Thunder!"
"You're right. You were more like a god of thunder before, compared to now!" Tony Stark sized up Thor, who was now crackling with electricity, and nodded seriously.
"Congratulations, Thor. You've fully regained your godly powers," Black Widow said with a smile, looking at Thor approvingly.
"Thank you!" Thor beamed, then turned his gaze to Captain America. "Rogers, give me the hammer now. I'm sure I can lift my hammer!"
Captain America didn't say anything extra and handed the hammer he was easily holding to Thor.
However…
Clang!
The hammer slammed down right in front of Thor, nearly tripping him and causing him to stumble.
"What?" Thor was bewildered, unable to understand. "I've already recovered my godly powers, so why can't I lift the hammer? What exactly is the 'worthiness' my father spoke of?"
Tony Stark glanced at the two of them and asked, "Thor, since the Captain can lift the hammer, why don't you think about what the Captain has that you don't?"
"What Rogers has that I don't?" Thor looked at his hands, lost in deep thought.
"Whatever it is, it's definitely not strength! Thor, your power now far surpasses the Captain's, but you still can't lift the hammer!" Black Widow affirmed. "Could it be some kind of quality?"
Everyone present agreed with Black Widow.
After all, Captain America's most outstanding trait was his almost exemplary moral character.
Compared to that, the super-soldier strength Captain America possessed was secondary.
"Quality, huh?" Thor fell into thought again.
But this was something that couldn't be understood just by standing there and daydreaming.
"At least you've recovered your godly power, unlike when you lost it and couldn't lift the hammer!" Hawkeye Barton said seriously to Thor. "If it were me, I'd consider that absolute good news!"
"That's right! Barton, that's definitely good news." Thor was somewhat comforted, and he smiled. "And it's not just that I've recovered my divine power; my divine power is even stronger than before!"
[Answer period over, now playing the answer analysis!]
The answer analysis began, and a corresponding video started to appear on the large screen in front of everyone.
First to appear was the Bifrost Bridge of Asgard.
In the "watchtower" of the Bifrost, there stood a person in golden armor, looking very imposing and domineering. It was clear that this was no ordinary character.
"Thor, is that Heimdall?" Captain America couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that's Heimdall!" Thor nodded, giving a very affirmative answer.
Everyone present now had a better understanding.
He saw Heimdall standing in the hall, his eyes flickering, as if he had sensed something.
Then, Heimdall suddenly turned and quickly ran outside, all the way to the Rainbow Bridge, continuing to run along the cable.
He ran to a high place, then leaped into the void, and even picked up a dagger to stab it fiercely.
"What's going on? What is Heimdall chasing?" Thor was dumbfounded.
Because the surroundings were empty, there was nothing unusual.
Buzz!
But who would have thought that with Heimdall's stab, a mass of energy began to surge in the void, and a spaceship appeared!
It turned out that the spaceship had been in a state of invisibility before!
"What! How can this be!"
Thor was taken aback. This kind of thing was simply unimaginable to him, too unbelievable.
There was actually a spaceship that could escape Heimdall's eyes and fly into Asgard!
Previously, Thor had been convinced that any fleet approaching Asgard would be discovered by Heimdall immediately, but now, Thor was slapped in the face.
It was actually a fleet. They had done something that he thought impossible.
Even though only one spaceship was currently displayed on the screen, no one present believed there was only one.
Because a single spaceship invading Asgard was like a moth to a flame, accomplishing nothing.
Since the Dark Elves had a way to evade Heimdall's observation, they couldn't have sent just one ship.
Sure enough, things were as everyone expected.
Heimdall was "hanging" on that spaceship, and with a flurry of moves, he destroyed that spaceship with only two daggers, proving to be extremely valiant.
Boom!
That spaceship spun and crashed onto the Bifrost, exploding into a pile of rubble.
But before Heimdall could breathe a sigh of relief, he turned around and saw a massive mothership hovering behind him!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Not only that, but ship after ship began to streak towards Asgard.
A frontal assault on Asgard had begun!
"I didn't expect the Dark Elves to invade head-on," Captain America said, somewhat surprised.
After Thor answered correctly, everyone thought the Dark Elves would use the method Tony Stark had suggested, infiltrating with spies to assassinate.
But it turned out that the reality was different from what everyone expected. The Dark Elves were actually going for a full-frontal assault.
Tat-tat-tat! Tat-tat-tat!
On the walls of Asgard, the "City Defense Cannons" began to spew fire relentlessly at the Dark Elves' fleet. Ship after ship from Asgard also began to move, going to intercept the Dark Elves' fleet.
The two sides then launched a fierce battle.
At this moment, the camera switched to the "watchtower" of the Rainbow Bridge. Heimdall was seen taking out a sword and inserting it into a device.
The surroundings immediately began to flash with rings of light.
At the same time, within the Asgardian royal city, a golden spherical energy shield was continuously solidifying.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Some Dark Elves' ships attempted to break into the royal city, but they crashed into the energy shield and immediately exploded.
That energy shield was still very strong.
"This is the protective barrier of the Asgardian royal city that I told you about. This barrier will close soon, and the Dark Elves' fleet cannot break through it."
Thor confidently introduced to everyone present.
"However... they did get in." Captain America said in a low voice.
Thor didn't say much, but stared intently at the big screen. He really wanted to know how the Dark Elves had broken through the royal city's protective barrier.
Because based on the fleet they've shown so far, they don't possess that kind of strength.
Then the scene switched, moving to inside the royal city.
As the camera moved, corpses were strewn everywhere on the ground, the bodies of Asgardian warriors.
A soldier in full armor, incredibly tall, wearing a horned mask like a bull's head, stepped over the corpses and entered a hall.
It was, without a doubt, a Dark Elf Curse Warrior.
On a high platform in front of the Curse Warrior, there was a rapidly spinning device emitting golden light.
The device also had a golden spherical energy body, which looked exactly the same as the large energy barrier outside the royal city.
Everyone present wasn't stupid, and they immediately understood that this device must be the activation mechanism for the royal city's energy barrier.
The Dark Elves didn't just break through the energy barrier by force; they destroyed it from within.
It seems the Dark Elves didn't just rely on a frontal assault or infiltrating spies. They used both methods simultaneously!
