Shadow of the Beautiful World

New York, midnight.

After coaxing Jane to sleep and telling little Hella who was sitting in the living room to play video games all night to take care of him, Thor changed into a set of sportswear, grabbed his battle ax and went out.

Don't get me wrong, he's not going to continue his duties as a street hero, Ray, fighting evil.

In fact, after learning about Jane's accident, Thor never took the time to fight crime again. It's not that he hated the work of vigilante police, but mainly because of priorities.

What's more, Thor is not a girlfriend who only cares about his own life in New York. He also has the responsibility of an Asgard ambassador, and occasionally communicates with the authorities on behalf of New Asgard.

Anyway, Thor is busy right now.

Moreover, the problems he faces cannot be solved by brute force, and it is a headache. At this time, he really hopes that Loki can be by his side. Loki's wisdom is what he needs very much.

Going out tonight is to keep an appointment.

An appointment with an old friend.

jingle, jingle

Between the swaying of the bell around the goat's teether's neck, Thor gallops through the night sky in New York. This should be a very quiet scene, but it is disturbed by some noisy voices.

Hmm! Look at that humming steel monster! It's yelling at Tori! Murder it! Tori's going to murder it!

Well, Tori, the hellhound who always screams murder, followed Thor to New York.

It is now one of Jane's guardians for daily travel.

This is the mission and responsibility given to it by its good friend Thor. It must protect the sick and fragile female human being. If someone wants to hurt the female, then Tori can add food at will.

Cerberus doesn't hate the job.

In fact, compared to the lukewarm and peaceful Asgard, Tori, a powerful beast born in hell, prefers the always noisy human city.

It's full of prey...

Moreover, Tori has found a new friend in this city in recent days. Of course, this is a little secret belonging to Cerberus, and there is no need to tell his good friend Thor.

That's the garbage truck, Tori.

Thor looked helplessly at the Cerberus, who was already spouting flames from his nostrils, ready to challenge and murder the garbage truck. He said:

You don't want to have your beautiful fur covered in stinking garbage, do you? And didn't we agree? Only murder the bad guys...

Bad guys! Yes, bad guys!

Cerberus has its own unbreakable world view.

In its simple world, everything can be divided into two kinds, those that can be murdered and those that cannot.

It raised its head, stuck out its tongue at Thor, and said excitedly:

Murder the bad guys! Eat the bad guys! There are a lot of bad guys in this city that smell of crime, and Tori loves the bad guys!

The Cerberus stuck out its blood-red tongue, licked its sharp teeth, and said flatteringly:

The bad guy tastes great! Tori's been well fed these days.

Er...okay.

Thor didn't know how to continue to twist the one-tendoned hellhound's thoughts. It was already very good to make it stop killing people. It seems that Jane's education for it these days seems to be good.

But New York, that's the way it is, there's a lot of bad guys in this city.

Think of it as letting Tori dispose of a little garbage.

Amid the chattering shouts of the hellhounds, Thor rode a goat and quickly landed in a dark alley in Hell's Kitchen. He jumped off the goat and looked at the hooded man leaning against the entrance of the dark alley.

Before he could speak, the Cerberus rushed forward.

Tori sniffed the hooded man with a dog-like movement. Two flames spewed out of its nostrils, and it said:

Hmm! Tori has found a new target! You smell like sin.

Tori is going to murder all the bad guys! Tori is going to eat all the bad guys!

Hey black guy, are you a badass?

Facing the death question and answer of the fire-breathing hellhound, the guy in the hood didn't panic, obviously he was used to such fantastic things.

The bum-like guy turned around and took off his sunglasses, revealing a face with blindfolds and claw marks.

He looked at Thor who was surprised, and then at the hellhound who was drooling under his feet, and he said:

Well, if I answer that I'm a villain, will your dog kill me? Ah, Thor, when did you get into the habit of keeping dogs again?

Fry?

Thor stuck his tomahawk into the side of Teeth Grinder's saddle, and he strode forward, reaching out and patting the Cerberus on the head, which disappointed Tori, who let out a dog-like whimper of disappointment.

Well, it seems that this dark and dark villain can't be eaten.

But that's okay.

Tori stepped back quietly, sniffing in the air, and soon, it smelled another evil smell, stuck out its tongue, peeked at Thor who was chatting with Fury, and then fell silent Leaped into the air to hunt for food.

Tori is a good dog.

It always eats gracefully without messing up the scene.

I heard from Merlin that you were alive again, but I didn't expect you to contact me.

Thor looked at Fury who was dressed like a homeless man in front of him. Looking at Fury's indifferent face, he still felt a little nostalgic in his heart.

Yes, I died once.

Fury leaned against the wall, he shrugged, and said in a relaxed tone:

Social death, but it's not bad. Others think you're dead, and it's more convenient to do some things.

All right.

Thor also shrugged. He looked around and asked:

So, is it important for you to call me out this late at night?

have.

Fury was also polite, he said bluntly:

Have you ever heard of Skrulls?

Of course, when I was a child in school, I heard the rune wizards talk about the civilization on the other side of the galaxy.

Thor frowned and said:

A terrible civilization that pursues chaos and conquest, but has basically never been to Earth, at least not in Asgard's records.

Oh, then your records should be updated.

Fury threw a USB flash drive to Thor, and he said:

They're here. They're here on Earth, maybe right next to you. Things are bad, but we have a plan to kill them by surprise. I'm organizing a team now, a great team.

Braised Egghead put on his sunglasses again, and he said to Thor:

The information is all in there, go back and take a good look, don't spread it around.

I heard that the Asgardians are seeking to live in peace with the earth recently, so I guess, if you have the opportunity to help this world deal with some garbage, you will probably not refuse.

I'm going to talk to my mother about this.

Thor said to Fury seriously:

I know you won't talk about this kind of thing, and I am very willing to help you personally, but if you want to mobilize Asgard's legion, you must get the mother's approval. It just so happens that I will bring Jane back to Asgard in the next few days Gad, go and get this done.

However, Fury, if there are Skrulls on the earth, then there may be some Asgardians...

No!

Fury shook his head, put on his hood, and said to Thor:

Don't worry about your people. When you came to Earth, Skrulls were already all over here, but you haven't opened the border yet, so there should be no Skrulls lurking on the island of New Asgard.

But it's hard to say if it takes longer, I don't think those bitch will let you go... So, hurry up, Thor.

Helping us is also helping you.

After speaking, Fury turned and walked into the dark alley.

A few seconds later, in the light of the teleportation spell, Fury completely disappeared in the city.

And Thor also clenched the USB flash drive in his hand. He didn't intend to refuse this matter. Now that the Asgardians want to stay on the earth for a long time, they should clean up this group of Sku who are afraid of chaos in advance. Lu people, it is a very necessary job.

Well, it seems that the matter of bringing Jane home has to be paid close attention.

—————————————

At the same time as Fury and Thor met, on Utopia, in Professor X's office, an angry cry broke the silence of the night.

Pietro, Quicksilver, this speedy mutant's handsome young face is full of anger and humiliation.

Just now, he learned from the professor about the alien royal family's plan to send his girlfriend to the Kerry warlord for marriage. It was like a heavy punch, hitting Pietro's head hard. face.

Can this be tolerated?

For any man of sound mind, this kind of face-to-face thing can't be tolerated, okay?

Probably because of his ability, Pietro has always been a young man who acts faster than thinks. When the flame of anger ignited in his heart, his figure suddenly turned into an afterimage, and he wanted to rush out of the office.

But at the moment of starting, the heavy magnetic force rolled up, pulling up several metal objects in the office, and blocking Pietro's eyes.

Where are you going?

Behind him, the frost-faced Magneto King Eric Lanshere said in a deep voice:

Are you going to save Crystal alone? Can you do it?

If you can't do it, you have to go!

Kuaiyin looked back at his old man, gritted his teeth and said:

Crystal is waiting for me to save her. I'm a man, old man. I can't bear this kind of thing!

madness!

Magneto scolded.

This old man who has been stubborn all his life also has a fire burning in his heart.

He...

How should I put it, Eric has been a romantic all his life, and has many lovers, but he has never encountered such a thing of robbing love.

What's more, Magneto is quite satisfied with Crystal, his daughter-in-law-to-be. After seeing too many plots and tricks, it is easy to have a good impression of a pure and innocent girl like Crystal.

For Pietro and Crystal's marriage, Magneto is very approved, and he also plans to go to Attilan in person when the time is right, and meet Crystal's sister, Queen Medusa.

But now, Crystal is going to be sent to marry?

Wow, this is really...

Not only a slap on Pietro's face, but also a slap on Magneto's old face, his thoughts are already very clear.

The Yiren royal family objected to this marriage not because Kuaiyin was not good enough, but because he was unworthy...

Who can bear this?

But Magneto has experienced a lifetime of turmoil, and his experience is beyond the comprehension of a brat like Kuaiyin. He was not so impulsive that he took his son to kill Attilan.

On the one hand, his status and appeal among mutants does not allow him to do so.

When a person's status is high enough to affect the discourse power of race, he definitely represents more than just himself.

The good situation of Utopia Island and the mutants in the horizon is not easy to come by, and Lao Wan, who has been fighting for it all his life, does not want to break the situation just because of personal matters.

on the other hand...

Ahem, I really can't beat it.

Magneto is very confident in his magnetic manipulation, but somehow he is really old, and the Black Bolt over there is in his prime, and the magical sonic power is quite powerful.

Face to face, you may not lose in a short time, but if you want to win...it is absolutely impossible.

Okay, Eric.

In the oppressive atmosphere of the office, Professor Charles, who had been silent all this time, sighed and said:

This matter is not a private matter of your family, and I intend to intervene in it.

Um?

Magneto looked at his old brother in surprise. In his memory, Charles was never someone who would initiate a war. Why did he change his temper this time?

We saw the power of the Cree fleet in 1994. Only one fleet came that time, but now, there are a total of 8 fleets. They have an absolute advantage in terms of destructive power. Our only hope of victory is The strength of the individual.

Professor X said in a serious and earnest tone:

The Inhumans will make up for the shortcomings of the Kree. Once the alliance between the Inhumans and the Kree is achieved and the Kree's missing high-end power is replenished, they may immediately launch a war against the earth.

The marriage of crystals is no longer just a matter of your family, it is related to the life and death of the earth.

So this time, not only will I call on the X-Men to support you, but I will even invite other forces, superheroes who are determined to defend the world, and Wakanda!

There are more and more voices in the society to fight back against the invasion of the Cree. No one on earth is willing to be destroyed, so we not only want to destroy this marriage, but also seize the opportunity to let the most powerful individual on earth Let's unite!

We want to defeat the command center of the Cree before the war begins!

Having said that, Charles smiled, and the professor looked at the happy-looking Quicksilver Pietro, and said softly:

From a big perspective, we cannot allow the earth to be destroyed, and from a personal perspective, I don't want to see what happened to you, me, Ruiwen, happen to young people.

It's saving the world, it's saving Pietro's love... I'm also selfish.

But calm down, Pietro, I can't let the X-Men help you invade Attilan, that's an all-out war between mutants and aliens, so if you want to grab a marriage...

You have to pick the perfect timing.

The professor looked at the silent Magneto, he stretched out his finger, pointed to his smooth head, and said softly:

And for that matter, I have a... half-baked plan.
