Sif was already far away, staring wide-eyed at Su Zhan in the flames.
Malekith was initially calm and didn't pay any mind to Su Zhan, but as the temperature of the flames Su Zhan unleashed grew higher and higher, the calmness on his face vanished, replaced by surprise, and even a hint of Fear.
As a Dark Elf, light and Fire were inherently repulsive and disliked.
Especially this kind of high temperature, capable of reaching that of a supernova, made him feel his power rapidly draining away.
Run!
He had to run; he couldn't withstand this temperature.
"Trying to run? It seems you're not that strong after all, you ant..."
Seeing Malekith turn and run, Su Zhan sneered and suddenly flew out.
The high temperature surged, and Su Zhan, engulfed in flames, suddenly threw a punch directly at Malekith. Malekith screamed, his body instantly flew backward, crashed through a wall, and then flew completely out.
In the blink of an eye, he had been struck so far away that he vanished from sight!
"Stop, stop quickly!"
Sif could feel the entire Heavenly Palace seemed to be on the verge of collapsing from the heat, and she hurriedly shouted at Su Zhan.
Su Zhan didn't speak; the flames erupted, and he quickly flew out.
He flew rapidly through the air, charging towards the Dark Elves' fighter jets. With his hands extended forward, a layer of high-temperature flames generated around him. Before even touching the Dark Elves' fighter jets, the jets exploded one after another, and in the instant of the explosion, they were incinerated into ash!
One, two.
Explosions continuously echoed, instantly drawing the attention of everyone in Asgard. Watching the fighter jets being destroyed one by one, in a flash, all of the Dark Elves' fighter jets had been annihilated.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Below, excited cheers of victory erupted.
Su Zhan slowly controlled the temperature of the flames, gradually lowering them, and finally flew back to Sif's side. After landing, the flames on his body had vanished.
"Remember the bet, you have to go on a date with me!"
Looking at Sif, Su Zhan said with a smile, then he collapsed forward.
Sif quickly supported Su Zhan, and seeing that he had only fainted from exhaustion, she breathed a sigh of relief. As Su Zhan lay in her arms, Sif's face couldn't help but flush, and her gaze... unconsciously filled with adoration.

"You're awake?"
Su Zhan slowly opened his eyes and heard a very gentle voice beside him. He turned his head to find Sif sitting next to him, looking at him with concern.
"Mm, where am I?"
Su Zhan responded and sat up. Memories surfaced; he remembered using a supernova to send Malekith flying, making him realize who the true ant was! Then he seemed to have overexerted himself and fainted.
Human Torch's Fire Ability is indeed very strong; no wonder even Galactus wanted a Devourer of Worlds like Human Torch in the later stages!
"This is my home!"
Sif said softly.
"Your home?"
Su Zhan curiously looked around. Uh... to be honest, it really didn't look like a woman's room. Thinking about Sif's personality, it made sense.
"After you defeated Malekith, you fainted from exhaustion, so I brought you home. I never thought you'd be so powerful, even without the Aether Particle, you're still so strong. It's just a pity... Malekith got away!" Sif said with admiration, then shook her head with a hint of disappointment.
At this moment, Su Zhan realized that Sif's voice had been consistently gentle when she spoke to him, completely lacking her previous coldness.
"Got away?"
Su Zhan was somewhat surprised; he had thought Malekith was dead for sure, but he didn't expect him to escape.
The leader of the Dark Elves is indeed extraordinary, but if he could defeat him once, he could do it a second time. Once he fully devours the Aether Particle, Malekith will be nothing to Fear.
"How are things outside now?" Su Zhan asked.
"Not so good!" Sif's expression was somewhat heavy. "The Dark Elves launched a major attack this time, and the Heavenly Palace suffered heavy losses. However, Odin has already organized forces and is preparing to make the Dark Elves pay the price!"
"Is that so..."
Given Odin's personality, he certainly wouldn't let this loss go unpunished. Malekith would also surely make a comeback, as the Aether Particle is too important to him!
But this has nothing to do with him; as long as the Convergence ends, even if Malekith comes looking for him, it will be useless. Without the cosmic spectacle of the Convergence, it's basically impossible to return the World to darkness using the Aether Particle.
"The previous bet, you won't go back on your word, will you?" Su Zhan looked at Sif and suddenly said.
Sif paused, her pretty face slightly flushed, but she didn't avoid his gaze. She nodded and said, "Of course not. You are a true warrior, and I am very willing to go on a date with you!"
"You might not know it, but you're almost a hero of Asgard now. You killed the Cursed Warrior, injured Malekith, and destroyed the Dark Elves' attack. I don't know how many women want to go on a date with you." Sif said with a smile.
Looking at Sif's smile, Su Zhan was somewhat mesmerized. He instinctively took her hand and said, "Your smile is truly beautiful. Smile more often in the future; I like your smile! But... only smile for me!"
Sif didn't speak but shyly nodded.
Looking at her, Su Zhan suddenly asked, "I heard you only like warriors. There should be many warriors in the Heavenly Palace, and you must have met many warriors, right? What if you meet someone stronger than me and fall for them instead?"
Sif's smile faded, and she said somewhat angrily, "What kind of person do you take me for? I do like powerful warriors, because only warriors stronger than me are worthy of my affection! But I am not that kind of shameless woman; once I commit, I will be faithful to the end! Perhaps, in the future, there will be someone stronger than you, but as long as you keep working hard, you will surely surpass them, won't you?"
"That's a relief to hear, haha... Just give me time, and believe me... I will become the strongest person in this World, bar none!" Su Zhan felt relieved and laughed heartily with pride.
Sif then reacted, playfully swatting him and saying, "You almost tricked me! I only said I'd go on a date with you, I didn't say anything else!"
"It's okay, at least I'm the first man you've ever dated, and probably the last! Just because there's nothing else now doesn't mean there won't be in the future. So, Goddess Sif, when shall we start our date?" Su Zhan asked with a grin.
"First, let go of my hand!" Sif said in a feigned angry tone.
Su Zhan not only didn't let go but held her hand even tighter. "A date, of course, involves holding hands."
"Is that so?" Sif wasn't quite sure, as her life basically consisted of training, fighting, training, fighting. She had never been on a date and hadn't seen how others dated.
"Of course, it's true. Are you free today? Anyway, everyone outside is busy, so there's no point in going out. It's better to stay home, just you and me, for a private date!"
"But what can we do at home?" Sif asked, puzzled.
Su Zhan chuckled, "There's a lot we can do, and even if we don't do anything, just being alone with you is great!"
"Smooth-talker!"
Sif said with a playful huff, but her expression didn't show anger at all; instead, it was more like a hint of coquetry.
