"That works too?"
Steve and the others were dumbfounded; this portal was completely beyond their imagination.
"Unscientific, this is completely unscientific. How can Space teleportation be so simple?"
Tony muttered to himself, and by the way, he was still on his way.
Andrew said, "There's nothing that won't work, Steve. I have something to do, so I'm off."
With that, a flash of fire, and Andrew disappeared. Steve couldn't help but shake his head. Just as Director Fury said, Mr. Wang was too casual.
"Alright, let's deal with the remaining Frost Giant."
Steve clapped his hands and shouted to everyone, "It's time for this battle to end."
Everyone shouted in unison, "Yes, Captain."
"I hope Thor can successfully deal with Loki. When Aliens come to Earth, it's never for a good reason."
Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the fiery portal on the screen, his expression a little despairing. The other party could teleport across Space? How was he supposed to deal with this?
On Asgard's Bifrost Bridge, although Loki held the Eternal Spear, he was no match for Thor and was beaten to the ground, howling.
"It's useless, Thor. The Bifrost Bridge can't be stopped now. You've lost, and Odin has lost too."
Loki lay on the ground and shouted loudly, "Our sister will return soon. By then, both you and Odin will die."
"Our sister? Are you out of your mind? Where do we have a sister?"
Seeing that the Bifrost Bridge really couldn't be stopped, Thor gritted his teeth and smashed the bridge with his hammer. Only in this way could he resolve the crisis on Earth.
Odin almost vomited blood when he saw this scene. This prodigal son, first he lost the Destroyer, and now he was going to destroy the Bifrost Bridge.
However, thinking of the current situation, Odin sighed and did not stop him. No matter what, it was better than Hela being released. In his current state, he couldn't defeat Hela.
"The losses are heavy. This matter must be concluded as soon as possible."
With this thought, Odin disregarded his injuries and frantically unleashed his thunderous divine power, causing Laufey to retreat steadily.
On the other side, Loki couldn't bear the destruction of the Bifrost Bridge. He rushed towards Thor with the Eternal Spear. Thor heard the movement behind him and swung the Mjolnir, full of lightning, towards the Eternal Spear.
Boom! A violent explosion occurred at the point where Mjolnir and the Eternal Spear collided. Thor and Loki were both blown away simultaneously. Immediately after, the Bifrost Bridge broke, and its main section, carrying a colorful light, fell towards the river below.
At this moment, the fiery teleportation gate that had previously sent Thor back to Asgard suddenly flew up on its own and collided with the main section. Immediately after, both the fiery teleportation gate and the main section of the Bifrost Bridge disappeared simultaneously.
"fuck."
Odin couldn't help but curse. It wasn't enough that that bastard Hell Demon King stole the Destroyer; he even wanted to lay his hands on the Bifrost Bridge.
Andrew stated that he was merely being environmentally friendly. It would be such a waste to let it fall into the river. He planned to set up the Bifrost Bridge on the Moon. By then, the Milky Way Galaxy would become his backyard—the Bifrost Bridge could not only teleport but was also a planet-destroying weapon.
Of course, restoring the Bifrost Bridge wouldn't be that easy. Besides the main section, it also required an energy core.
Fortunately, Odin would eventually seek his cooperation to repair the Bifrost Bridge—repairing the Bifrost Bridge required the Space Stone. By then, he would naturally be able to obtain the related technology for the energy core.
Due to the existence of the seal and the magic array, Hela was unaware of so many things happening outside. She was still anxiously waiting. That damned Loki, why was he so slow in doing things?
Andrew muttered to himself, "Keep staying in the seal. When needed, I will release you, tool-person Hela."
In Asgard, Thor grabbed the broken part of the Bifrost Bridge with his left hand and Loki's hand with his right, shouting, "Brother, don't let go."
A flicker of emotion crossed Loki's eyes, then he cried out in despair, "Thor, let go of me! I'd rather die than be sealed on Earth."
Thor asked, puzzled, "Who would seal you?"
Loki gave a bitter laugh and said, "Who else could it be? Of course, it's us, no, it's your father, Odin."
"He's your father too. You must have a misunderstanding, Loki. We are family, and there's nothing that can't be resolved."
Thor shouted. At this moment, an aged voice sounded from above: "Loki, who told you about Hela?"
Thor and Loki looked up and saw Odin standing on the Bifrost Bridge in golden armor, like an old lion. It's worth mentioning that he was carrying a corpse in his hand, the corpse of Laufey, the Frost Giant King.
Although Odin was not in his prime, Laufey was still no match for him. He was God King Odin after all.
Upon seeing Odin, Loki was first fearful, then roared with full-blown rage, "Mephisto told me! So what? Odin, you adopted me just to use me, to make me Thor's stepping stone."
"So it was Mephisto, that old demon."
Odin gritted his teeth and said, "Loki, I never treated you as Thor's stepping stone. This was all your own choice."
"Still saying no? Do you dare say you didn't intentionally feign unconsciousness? Do you dare say you didn't intentionally give me the Eternal Spear?"
Loki shouted, "You not only used me as Thor's stepping stone, but you also wanted to use me to kill my birth father Laufey and destroy the Frost Giant Kingdom, didn't you? Odin, you are too despicable."
"…"
Odin looked bewildered. How did I not know I was so despicable? He sighed, "Loki, you are wrong. This was not only Thor's trial but also yours. Unfortunately, Thor passed, and you did not."
Thor blinked, then incredulously shouted, "Wait a minute, Father, Loki isn't my biological brother? He's Laufey's son? Does that mean you, Father, were… by Laufey?"
"Shut up."
Odin snapped, "Loki was adopted by me. He was abandoned by Laufey on the battlefield. I couldn't bear to kill him, so I used magic to change his form and make him an Asgardian."
"I wish you had killed me then, Odin. Stop pretending to be a loving father; it's disgusting."
Loki cursed, "You sealed your brother, you sealed your daughter, and now you plan to seal me again. I will never let you have your way."
After shouting, Loki resolutely let go of Thor's hand, allowing himself to fall into the void below. He would rather die than be sealed, and Odin had hurt him too much.
"Loki."
Thor wanted to jump down to save Loki but was caught by Odin's arm and pulled up. Odin looked at Loki falling into the chaotic void, a trace of sorrow flashed in his eyes, followed by a surging anger in his heart. Mephisto, I will definitely settle the score with you for killing my son.
"Speaking of which, this time was a huge loss. Hell Demon Kings, none of them are good."
Recalling the losses this time, even Odin felt heartbroken. The Destroyer, the Bifrost Bridge, each was a top-tier treasure.
After Thor was rescued, he excitedly questioned Odin, "Father, were you really plotting against Loki? Also, do I really have a sister, and an uncle?"
Odin blinked, then pretended to faint, falling to the ground. Thor quickly caught him, shaking him vigorously while shouting, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
Odin wanted to roll his eyes. He was fine before, but if you keep shaking him, he really will have something wrong.
…
On Earth, with everyone's efforts, the Frost Giant quickly crumbled and fled in all directions. At this moment, Coulson's voice came through Steve's earpiece: "Captain, the Director said to capture a few Frost Giant prisoners for research."
"Just like Isolated Island Prison? I hope you don't mess up again."
Tony sneered in the channel. Coulson said unhappily, "Mr. Stark, invading S.H.I.E.L.D.'s network is illegal."
Tony said, "Wow, S.H.I.E.L.D. actually knows how to spell 'illegal'?"
"Looks like it's quite lively on your end."
Howard said to Steve, "The battle is almost over. We should withdraw, Captain. It was a pleasure fighting alongside you again."
Steve asked hopefully, "Who are you? An old friend of mine?"
"You'll know, Captain. Perhaps in the future, we'll have a chance to be colleagues again."
Howard smiled, then ascended with the armed robots. Hulk, Frank, and the others also returned to the spacecraft.
Then, the Inverted Cross spacecraft activated its stealth device and disappeared from everyone's sight. At this moment, Tony finally arrived. Seeing the Peace Knights leave, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, still a step too late."
Steve looked up and asked Tony, "Are you Howard's son?"
"Sorry, not familiar with you."
Tony snorted and went to pursue the Frost Giant. He also wanted to capture one for research.
Steve didn't mind and led the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in pursuit of the fleeing Frost Giant. These Frost Giant were very powerful and couldn't be allowed to escape.
"Captain once again defeated the enemy…"
Daisy followed Steve, live-streaming. Jane no longer stopped Daisy. She looked up at the sky, her expression a little melancholic, wondering when Thor would return?
Jane sighed, "I hope it doesn't turn into a long-distance relationship, a long-distance relationship across the stars. It sounds so despairing just thinking about it."
"It's finally over. Speaking of which, this Alien invasion might not be a bad thing. Governments will be more vigilant, and at the same time, allocate more money to S.H.I.E.L.D."
Nick Fury breathed a sigh of relief. He straightened his clothes and went to the conference room for a meeting. With such a major Alien invasion, the World Security Council would certainly want answers.
In Hell, Mephisto couldn't help but sigh. This time, he not only lost all his projections but also offended Odin. It was truly a huge loss.
Of course, Mephisto wouldn't give up easily. He sat on his throne, pondering how to break the deadlock: "With my power alone, I can't fight that kid and Ancient One. I must contact other Demon Kings. That kid is hogging everything; everyone is very dissatisfied."
Some lose, some gain. Without a doubt, the big winner this time was Andrew.
"Tens of thousands of souls, the Destroyer, part of the Bifrost Bridge. Asgard has so many good people."
In the Small Hell on Earth, Andrew counted his gains for the day and nodded in satisfaction. Besides the above, there was another gain: creating a curse monster that prevented Mephisto's projections from appearing on Earth again.
Next, Andrew turned his gaze to the Destroyer beside him. It was currently enveloped in Hellfire. In a few months, it would become the Demon King's property. By then, even if Odin came knocking, it would be useless.
"The Bifrost Bridge is a bit troublesome. I'll throw it on the Moon for Trask to slowly research. No hurry."
The Bifrost Bridge was placed by Andrew in a temporary base on the Moon. It used runic technology, making it very difficult to thoroughly research. Fortunately, Odin would send the technology over sooner or later.
Finally, Hela was still anxiously waiting.
…
Although the Frost Giant invasion of Earth ended quickly, its impact was far-reaching—on the surface, this was the first time Earth had been invaded by Aliens. The public finally realized that Earth was not alone.
At the same time, the public also learned another thing: Aliens were very dangerous. The suicidal acts of certain organizations sending signals into Space were immediately prohibited.
This time, the America government did not deny the Alien invasion. On one hand, they couldn't deny it, as countless people had watched the live broadcast. On the other hand, they didn't want to deny it.
To counter Aliens and protect Earth, various countries successively introduced new policies—increasing military spending, investing more resources into the military industry, researching Aliens, and so on.
Riding this wave, Osborn Group's stock price finally rebounded. Norman Osborn was so moved he almost cried. It wasn't easy! After more than a year, Osborn Group's stock price finally rose.
"I need to continue researching the Human Enhancement Serum. In addition, Dr. Otto's artificial sun should be put on the agenda."
Norman Osborn thought ambitiously, once the artificial sun succeeded, the clean energy market would be dictated by their Osborn Group. The artificial sun was unlimited energy!
Because of renewed cooperation with the military, Stark Industries's stock price was also soaring. However, Tony and the military had many conflicts. For example, the military wanted more suits, but Tony was unwilling to sell them. He was only willing to provide high-energy battery modules for the military's exoskeleton armor.
S.H.I.E.L.D. also benefited greatly this time, acquiring a large amount of funds and authority. Nick Fury and HYDRA both expressed satisfaction.
"Mass-produce Tesseract energy weapons! Before the next disaster, S.H.I.E.L.D. must be equipped with energy weapons."
Nick Fury commanded excitedly—the technology for Tesseract energy weapons came from the Skrull research. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s technology had finally caught up with HYDRA during World War II. Congratulations.
Leaving aside what happened on Earth for now, in Rebirth Hell, Howard pointed at the holographic projection in front of them, which kept flashing 0s and 1s, and said to Andrew, "BOSS, my artificial intelligence research has succeeded."
Andrew retorted, "It finally succeeded. I almost thought you were embezzling public funds under false pretenses, just like Nick Fury."
"When has I, Howard Stark, ever lacked money?"
The billionaire Howard said arrogantly, then he explained, "The reason it took so long to research is because I wanted to research true intelligent life.
I succeeded. The artificial intelligence I researched possesses powerful learning capabilities. As long as it absorbs enough knowledge, it can evolve into true intelligent life.
Jarvis is an antique compared to it. What I created is not intelligence, but life."
"So, after all that, you just wanted to surpass your own son."
Andrew looked disdainful. He looked at the screen and asked, "Aren't you afraid your artificial intelligence will betray humanity?"
