Eastern Africa.
Luke and the others arrived near Somalia through the green portal Loki opened.
The air on this side was hot and dry. Dust clung to the mouth of the portal for a moment, then fell. Low hills stretched out under a pale sky, with no city lights and no sound of traffic.
Angela did not participate in this operation.
Although she had been used by Angel Queen Heven, she had still lived in Heaven for so many years.
She still had some feelings.
And she also had the feelings of a father and daughter toward Odin, though not deep enough.
Not to the point of becoming enemies.
But being together with Odin was also awkward.
In the original story, after Angela learned her own identity, she chose to leave the Ten Realms and wander outside.
She simply did not know how to face Asgard.
Now, because of Luke, she was unwilling to leave the Ten Realms, and was even less willing to stay far from him.
So she stayed behind. The choice was not comfortable, but it was hers.
"Haah.. haa.." Loki looked a bit short of breath. Opening the ultra-long-range portal from New York to Africa in one breath had consumed quite a bit of his magic. A thin sheen of sweat sat at his temple, and the green at the edge of the portal flickered once before settling.
Thor could not help but sneer. "Loki, you're still the same as before, all show!"
Loki was unconvinced. "Ug.. This is my first time using this kind of teleportation magic. I'm just not proficient yet. Well.. At least I'm better than someone who can only rely on external objects to fly, right?"
"Oh? And come to think of it, with so many people here, there's actually someone who can't teleport. Who could it be? Hard to guess."
Thor's face darkened. "At least I don't talk big and then run out of breath!"
Loki's eyes widened. "Are you saying the great King is not an invincible warrior?"
"You!"
Odin glanced at Loki, and Thor finally lost to Loki in a war of words.
Odin could not stand it anymore and coughed.
"Interesting. Are you two done yet?"
Luke paid no attention to the three who were bickering, and instead found a special marker in the 3D anatomical view.
[Portal (World Tree): This is a World Tree transmission channel, leading to an unknown region within a certain World Tree realm...]
Damn.. Luke discovered this terrain icon was ownerless!
And it could be recorded into the Reality Editor! Damn! Damn!
[Anomalous object Portal (World Tree) recorded successfully, gained 500 Anomaly Points. Current Anomaly Points: 7100 / 7300]
After the terrain icon was recorded successfully, it entered the Reality Editor directly, and could be placed in batches in any designated area!
Luke suddenly thought of a great deal.
There were quite a few similar transmission channels within the scope of the World Tree. If he could record them all, besides gaining a large number of Anomaly Points, he could also install portals inside the villa, right?
Heheh~ He could even install them together with certain room door locks!
Open the door, and step straight into another realm.
Anyone could quickly travel to different worlds.
Luke did not need it.
But his women could travel anywhere, which was quite good.
He believed the World Tree would not mind a few extra channels of his own.
The more he observed the World Tree channels, the more he understood this thing was far from simple. The marker sat in the view like a knot in a root, quiet, old, and not guarded by any name.
There was also the more practical Rainbow Bridge, which led directly to Asgard and was easy to use.
And there was no need to worry too much about defense, because Heimdall watched twenty-four hours a day and observed the Nine Realms year-round without rest.
Besides Loki, he had not seen anyone else slip past Heimdall's eyes.
However, with the Rainbow Bridge incident, the importance of the World Tree channels suddenly rose.
Odin observed for a while, then instructed Loki, "When you go back, give me a copy of the distribution map of all channels. These channels must be heavily guarded. Who knows how many of them the Dark Alliance has already found."
"Mhm," Loki's eyes flickered, and he nodded casually.
If it were before, he would definitely have kept a backup.
But now that the intelligence he knew had been exposed by the Dark Alliance, these channels were naturally an exception.
However, for Loki, it would not take much time to find similar channels again.
The World Tree was so big. There would always be more.
"I'll give you a copy."
Loki said this casually.
"That's all you're prepared to do?" Odin asked. He knew Loki's nature.
Under Odin's suspicious gaze, Loki used magic to construct in the air all the channel locations he knew.
Green lines rose and locked into place, one after another, until the air in front of them looked like a crude map drawn by a thief who had walked the roads himself.
There were three on Earth: one leading to Vanaheim, one leading to Asgard, and one leading to Heaven.
Asgard had two. One led straight to the Golden Palace, and the other opened near the old Bifrost.
Alfheim had one, leading to Nidavellir.
Thor exclaimed, "Wooah! This place seems like a cliff with no end? It actually leads to the Dark Elves' country!"
"And here, there's also a channel near the Rainbow Bridge?"
"Loki, how did you discover this?"
Loki sneered. "Hmph! While you were smashing the Bifrost, I was already mapping the back doors."
Thor and Loki began to bicker again.
While Odin's face was gloomy, deep in thought.
He knew Asgard had channels to other worlds, but he had not expected that, including Earth, there were at least five!
And... wait! Four of them are directly connected to Asgard's fatal weak points! What the fuck!!
