Marvel: Chinese Restaurant Beginning in Hell's Kitchen

"Squeak."

At night, Li Jie had just laid down on the bed when he heard the sound of a door opening downstairs. He used his super senses to discover that a man wearing a cloak covering himself tightly walked in.

Thor?

Li Jie discovered that the sneaky man was Thor, the God of Thunder, but he was different from the Thor who had dinner here in the evening.

The Thor in front of him was obviously much older, with a weathered face and one eye missing. The powerful aura he exuded was something that even Odin did not have.

When Thor suddenly saw Li Jie appear in front of him, he was not panicked at all, but knelt down on one leg.

"Thor, you are the God King of Asgard. It's not good to kneel down to a cook."

Li Jie joked.

Thor said in a low voice: "It is not shameful to kneel down to a cook who can destroy the entire universe at will.

Besides, Asgard is about to be destroyed by Phoenix Girl, and I am just a prince in name only."

Li Jie looked at Thor and said, "It seems that I am not wrong. You do not belong to this world, at least not to this timeline.

Thor, wake up."

"Thank you."

Thor stood up but stood there like a guard without moving.

"Tell me what happened to you and why you are here."

Li Jie produced a can of beer, drank one himself and handed the rest to Thor.

"Thank you."

Saul drank a can of beer before he began to preach.

“I come from a thousand years in the future.

Over the past thousand years, I have been constantly honing myself, and only returned to this moment when I felt I had the strength to defeat the Phoenix Girl.

In the near future, tomorrow to be exact, Thanos will appear here with the last Infinity Stone, the Soul Stone.

At that time, Phoenix, disguised as Odin, will kill Thanos and take away the Soul Stone.

With six Infinity Stones, Phoenix Girl has completely become the master of this world. No one in the Ten Realms can be her opponent.

The first thing Phoenix did was to kill the strong men in the Ten Realms who followed Odin to oppose her, and then she destroyed Asgard single-handedly.

Except for me and a few people who escaped, all the people of Asgard died at the hands of Phoenix Girl.

This is not the end yet, Phoenix Girl hunted down the heroes on Earth again and then left the Ten Realms.

For a long time afterwards, the world was shrouded in the shadow created by the Phoenix Girl, and she became the ruler of this world.

As time goes by, Phoenix's ambition grows bigger and bigger, until one day she returns to Earth and wants to kill you.

In the end, Phoenix Girl died in your hands. Only then did people know that you had always been a hidden strong man.

Although you became the savior of this universe, after killing Phoenix Girl you were also targeted by powerful beings from a higher dimension and had to choose to leave. "

"So, you came back from the future to the present in order for me to help you kill the Phoenix Girl in advance?"

Li Jie asked.

Thor shook his head and said, "No, I came here for two purposes. One is to express my gratitude to you in person, thank you for saving the world.

Second, I hope to get your permission. I want to stop Phoenix from getting the Soul Stone tomorrow and kill her, so as to prevent future tragedies from happening."

"Are you worried that I'll stop you from doing that?"

Li Jie asked again.

Thor nodded and said, "Yes, I know you and Phoenix Girl have reached some kind of agreement. This is also the reason why she did not come back for a long time after leaving the Ten Realms."

"Are you sure you can beat the current Phoenix Girl?"

Li Jie asked.

Thor replied, “After a thousand years of training, I am very confident in my current strength.

Maybe I am not yet the Phoenix Girl in her prime who possessed all six Infinity Stones at the same time, but at least I can be invincible in front of the Phoenix Girl now.

As long as I don't let her get the Soul Stone in Thanos' hands, the chances of me killing her are still very high."

Li Jie thought for a moment and said:

"Thor, I can agree to your request, but I must tell you clearly.

Even if you die at the hands of Phoenix Girl, I won't help you."

“I understand, as long as I have your permission.

Also...I have one more request.

I haven't eaten your delicious food for a thousand years. I wonder if I will have the honor to eat your delicious food again?"

Thor asked cautiously.

"No problem. I'll get you some food and chat about what your future will be like."

Li Jie stood up and walked into the kitchen, and quickly brought all the delicious food, including steamed buns, pickles, and plain noodles, to Thor.

Sol couldn't wait to drink the hot soup of the noodles, and tears couldn't stop falling. He said excitedly:

“After a thousand years, it still tastes the same as I remember it, it’s really delicious.

Sorry, I didn't mean that.

I know it's not right for a grown man to cry like this, but I just can't control my eyes from peeing.

Thank you so much, John, for letting me taste the most delicious food in the world again."

"Come on, Thor, have a drink."

Li Jie picked up the wine and preached, knowing in his heart that it must have been very difficult for Thor to pass the thousand years.

Odin died, Loki died, Asgard was destroyed and almost everyone died.

Thor wandered in the universe for a thousand years in order to find a way to defeat Phoenix. The loneliness and solitude he felt is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

The word Thor said the most to Li Jie tonight was thank you. It was not only because of Li Jie's strength or the fact that he had eaten delicacies from a thousand years ago, but more because he finally met an acquaintance, a friend again.

It was the first time in a thousand years that he had this warm moment.

After finishing the delicious meal, Thor suggested leaving, wanting to take this opportunity to take another look at the world in front of him.

I didn’t care about it when I was young, but when I got old I realized that everything that seemed ordinary in front of me was a thing of the past that I could never go back to.

That night, Thor went to many places and met many friends, but no one discovered him.

When the restaurant opened at dawn, Thor mixed in with the crowd and visited the restaurant again.

I didn't order any food and just found an empty corner and sat down.

In order not to attract attention, Thor took off his cloak and used magic to change his appearance.

This little magic reminded him of his younger brother Loki.

It's a pity that no one resurrected Loki before the battle between Odin and Phoenix, and people seemed to have forgotten about Loki afterwards.

Li Jie knew that Thor had no contribution points, so he asked Feifanlong to send him a lunch.

"Master, who was that person just now?

It was the first time I met him, but I felt very familiar with him, and he seemed to know me too.”

Feifanlong asked very curiously after coming back.

"Hi, Lao Fei, I want a steamed bun, a small portion of pickled vegetables, and a bowl of plain noodles..."

Peter Parker listed all the delicious food in the restaurant one by one.

"Peter, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Li Jie took the initiative to say hello.

Peter Parker said with a big smile, "Of course.

Phoenix is ​​dead, and now the world is back to how it was before, and I can be my own superhero again.

Wait, why do I smell a familiar scent?

Hi, Sol! "

Old Thor, who was sitting in the corner, thought someone was calling him and looked up instinctively, only to see his younger self and his younger brother Balder walking into the restaurant together.

Seeing his brother who died fighting with Asgard, the old Thor really wanted to go up and give him a hug, but he held back.

"Thor, I heard that Odin wants to redivide the Ten Realms. Do you have any inside information?"

Peter Parker asked very gossipy.

"Peter, this is none of your business.

Besides, no matter how the ten realms are divided, it will have no impact on your Earth."

Thor said a little angrily.

"Thor, you don't even have the qualifications to attend the relevant meetings, do you?"

Peter Parker preached with narrowed eyes.

"Hey, Peter, I'm the prince of Asgard. If even I don't have the qualifications, who do you think has the qualifications?"

Thor roared, waving his fists.

Balder didn't want to get involved in this boring war of words, so he patted Thor's arm and said:

"Brother, I have a friend over there. I'm going to say hello to him. Can you please order food later?"

"okay."

When Thor saw Balder walking towards the old Thor, he glanced at him but didn't care and continued to argue with Peter Parker.

When old Thor saw Balder walking towards him, he instinctively lowered his head to eat and avoided eye contact with the other party.

Balder came over and pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling and saying:

"You must have had a very difficult time these years, right?"

Old Thor was stunned for a moment, then pretended not to hear and continued eating.

Balde continued, "You know your mother has always loved you the most.

When she was still alive, she once told me that one day I would meet you here. "

When old Thor heard the word "mother", tears began to flow uncontrollably.

This made him lower his head again.

Balder smiled and said, "Mom asked me to tell you something.

No matter what happens in the future, you must live on with strength.

Also, can I give you a hug?"

Old Thor then wiped his tears but did not stand up to respond.

Balder stood up and walked over to give Thor a hug, whispering:

“Thor, Hela is the most powerful and domineering of us all, but you are the strongest one and the one I admire the most.

Although I don’t know what will happen in the future, I believe what my mother said is right and I must live strong.”

Thor nodded slowly, acknowledging his identity.

"Hey, Balder, are you still eating?"

Thor, the God of Thunder, shouted from the other side.

"coming."

Balder then let go of his hand and said as he left,

"I'm right there, just call me anytime, whatever you need me to do."

Thor, the god of thunder, asked Balder who was approaching:

"Who is that guy? Why have I never seen him before?"

Balder replied: "A very powerful man."

He paused, turned his head to look at the restaurant door, and whispered,

"It's the Dark Elf King and the Queen of Heaven. Why are they here?"

Thor took a bite of the leek and egg bun and said:

"Of course, they are here to eat. After all, the food John cooks is the most delicious food in the world. Anyone who has eaten it will never forget it."

After hearing this, Balder just smiled and said nothing more.

The Dark Elf King and the Queen of Heaven also discovered Thor and Balder, but did not greet the two princes of Asgard.

In the eyes of the two men, they were just two princes and were not qualified to talk to them.

They are on equal footing with Odin, and sometimes even feel that they are superior to Odin.

The two of them deliberately avoided Thor and Balder and sat in the corner, happening to sit next to the elderly Thor.

After ordering, the Dark Elf King began to speak:

"Don't you think Odin is weird?"

"Are you trying to talk about the redivision of the Ten Realms?"

The Queen of Heaven asked back.

The Dark Elf King nodded and said, “That’s right.

From last night till now, we have made such excessive demands, but Odin has not raised any objection.

I always feel that things are not that simple, there must be some conspiracy behind this.”

The Queen of Heaven said with a heavy face:

"You're right.

If this had happened in the past, Odin would have wanted to include all ten realms into Asgard's territory.

But the plan we proposed took away almost half of Asgard's territory, but he did not object at all.

This is very unusual.”

Old Thor remained silent, but snorted with disdain in his heart, knowing that all this was the conspiracy of the Phoenix Girl.

Phoenix disguised herself as Odin and bowed to the other nine kings of the realms. After getting the Infinity Stones from Thanos, she killed the nine kings of the realms in one fell swoop and flattened the ten realms.

Unfortunately, the King of the Dark Elves and the Queen of Heaven had not noticed anything at this time.

Even though the two men were skeptical now, they would soon be as complacent about their regained territory as everyone else.

"Mm, this bun is really delicious. I fell in love with the taste after just one bite yesterday."

The Dark Elf King took a bite of the bun and then spoke.

As they didn't find answers to their doubts, they turned their attention to the food.

The Queen of Heaven took a bite of the egg custard gracefully:

"Although the food here is very delicious, I prefer this egg custard, which is a really good dessert."

Just as they were enjoying their food, a spaceship landed in the open space in front of the restaurant.

Thanos opened the hatch and walked out of the spaceship, followed by Nebula who had evolved again.

Old Thor immediately looked over and saw the Infinity Gauntlet worn on Thanos' left hand, with a Soul Gem embedded on it.

In order to obtain the Soul Stone, Thanos sacrificed his beloved daughter, Gamora.

This made Nebula jealous, and even though she was now the person Thanos depended on the most, she was still in a bad mood.

Ever since the news of Phoenix's death at the hands of Odin spread, Nebula, who fell into Thanos' hands, was forced to become Thanos' subordinate again.

"Is this the restaurant you mentioned?"

Thanos asked.
