Chapter 686: Chapter 591 Celebration Banquet
In order to save time, Fu Qinghai chose to take the Siren Raid Claw airborne capsule directly to the surface. This airborne capsule can be recycled repeatedly and its speed is faster than the Thunder Eagle gunboat.
Here we can also see the disadvantages of the portal gun. Unlike the dimensional gate that can be opened almost at will, the portal gun can only open two apertures, one orange and one blue, at the same time. It must be opened on a flat hard surface, and the aperture size is fixed. Unlike the dimensional gate, it can be opened in the air, and the diameter of the fire circle can be enlarged or reduced according to the casting level.
Because Fu Qinghai had opened the orange aperture in the Suzheng battleship in advance, he could return to the bridge at any time. Strictly speaking, the portal gun can only be regarded as a technological version of the return scroll, which is very limited compared to the versatile magic of the dimension gate. If the sisters Chen Xinxue and Chen Xinlu were here, Fu Qinghai would not use the portal gun.
"Swoosh—Boom!"
With the scream of falling meteors, the hideous and terrifying iron claws pierced into the charred and broken ground of Asgard. The hatch opened outwards, and Fu Qinghai led the guards out of the hatch.
The players from the Zero Realm Guild are confronting Hela.
The atmosphere was tense and deadlocked between the two sides.
Augustus had already learned of Fu Qinghai's plan, so when he saw Hela trying to attack Thor after he fell unconscious, he immediately led his men to snatch him away without saying a word.
"Hela! Asgard's goddess of death!"
Fu Qinghai walked and shouted:
"Now, what do you think of my plan?"
Hela glanced at him grimly.
He held the Dark and Decaying Sword in both hands and said nothing.
After taking a missile with his body, Thor fell into the sea next to the Rainbow Bridge, and was later rescued by the Zero Realm Guild. Now he was lying on the shore, wet and unconscious. The Zero Realm Guild protected him behind them, and Hela led the army of the dead to surround them.
"Who are you?"
After a moment of stalemate.
Hela finally asked,
"What are you doing this for?"
Hela didn't quite understand. These guys didn't belong to the Nine Realms. Why did they go to Asgard with all this effort just to mediate the dispute between her and Thor? What were they trying to do?
"You have been sealed for too long, Hela."
Fu Qinghai looked at her and said calmly,
"The world has changed."
"You don't need to know who we are. They call us 'Reincarnators', and we call ourselves 'players'. We have our own interests, which you don't need to worry about. You just need to know that your only choice now is to accept my mediation plan and let those civilians who are unwilling to submit to you follow Thor to the atrium, which is what you Aesir call the human kingdom of Midgard. From now on, you will keep your distance from each other, and you will be the king of the nine realms while he builds his new Asgard."
Fu Qinghai paused and continued:
"If you don't want to accept it, I can help you deal with the Kree Empire and the Sovereigns this time, but I may not be able to help you next time. The Kree Empire has clearly shown its interest in Asgard. This fleet is just a test by the Supreme Wisdom. The Kree Empire has already taken action, so how can the other two cosmic empires be left behind? They want to take advantage of the opportunity when Odin passes away and you and Thor fight each other to occupy Asgard and even the entire Nine Realms. Are you willing to see this happen?"
In fact, Fu Qinghai had no idea what the Supreme Wisdom thought of the incident in Asgard. He just made up a story to exaggerate the threat. Anyway, Hela had just awakened from the seal and knew nothing about the world outside the Nine Realms. He could just make up whatever happened.
"The Kree Empire will never give up."
Fu Qinghai said meaningfully:
"And it's not just the three cosmic empires. Enemies in the Nine Realms are also ready to make a move. The dark elves of Svartalfheim, the fire giants of Muspelheim, the frost giants of Jotunheim... I'm afraid they are all secretly planning to wait for you to both suffer losses and then take revenge. Even your former staunch allies, the Vanir of Vanaheim, may have different ideas."
"snort!"
Hearing this, Hela said disdainfully:
"They are just a bunch of defeated generals. Odin and I conquered them together. What's the big deal if I conquer one more now? They are just a bunch of weaklings."
"That's right."
Fu Qinghai nodded in agreement and said,
"But the premise of everything is that Asgard must be intact. Otherwise, where would you get the strength to conquer them again? Without Asgard, would you still be there, Goddess of Death?"
Hela remained silent after hearing this.
Fu Qinghai felt that he had good reasons.
But why did Hela still refuse to express her opinion?
"But he just killed my dog!"
Hela pointed at Hulk who had just climbed ashore and said angrily.
The Hulk was stunned for a second when he heard this.
Then, not wanting to be outdone, he pounded his chest and said,
"Your dog bit Hulk! Bad dog!"
He killed your dog? Fenrir?
Fu Qinghai was a little confused for a moment.
I thought to myself, you are not John Wick...
What's wrong with a dead dog?
"Well... let me interrupt."
Augustus at the side coughed and said,
"I saw Fenrir fall off the edge of the waterfall. How about you go look for him? Maybe he's not dead yet."
"We'll talk about the dog later. There is one more thing I must remind you of, Your Highness Hela."
Fu Qinghai had to interrupt and said,
"The Eternal Flame and the Crown of Surtur are still with me. I can get them anytime I want..."
"I agree with your proposal."
Hearing this, Hela suddenly interrupted and said.
"Very good, you will get what you want, the great Asgard goddess of death, the new Lord of the Nine Realms."
Fu Qinghai smiled and bowed.
As the saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero.
It can be regarded as giving enough face to Hela.
…
The Space Marines stood in a row with guns in hand, watching the ordinary civilians of the Aesir line up one after another and walk into the Rainbow Bridge control room. At the same time, they were alert to the skeleton soldiers with green eyes around them, in case Hela suddenly changed her mind.
Because Asgard was not destroyed and the Rainbow Bridge was still functioning normally, these Aesir refugees no longer needed to take transport ships across the universe to travel long distances to Earth. They only needed to cross the Rainbow Bridge.
To Fu Qinghai's surprise, there were not as many people willing to follow Thor to Earth as he had imagined. On the contrary, many Aesir civilians chose to stay in Asgard. Even though this place, except for the palace and the Rainbow Bridge, was basically a ruin, no longer the fairyland-like scene of the past, it was more like a garbage dump than Sakaar.
After thinking about it, Fu Qinghai understood.
In the movie, except for the traitor Skorki the Executioner, all the other Aesir voluntarily followed Thor to Earth - because they had no choice! At that time, Asgard had already fallen apart in Surtur's wrath. If they did not follow Thor to Earth, they would have to stay in Asgard and wait for death. Naturally, they had no choice.
But now, although Asgard has undergone several rounds of orbital bombardment, it has not been completely destroyed. Many Aesir still miss their homeland and would rather stay here to build and repair their homes than go to a strange environment with Thor. In fact, these people are not willing to submit to Hela, but just don't want to leave their hometown. Faced with this situation, Thor has no choice.
We can only respect their choice.
"Qingshan, it feels like we didn't do anything, but you won again. Following you is really easy to win."
Augustus stood nearby and said with a wry smile.
"It's not over yet."
Fu Qinghai shook his head and said:
"Heimdall just told me everything he saw. The Nine Realms are not as peaceful as they seem. The Dark Elves, Frost Giants, and Fire Giants are indeed secretly plotting something. I was right."
Fu Qinghai lamented that he was really a jinx.
"But after Thor: Ragnarok there's Thor: Love and Thunder. I don't remember that movie mentioning the rebellion of the dark elves, frost giants or fire giants. Isn't Thor quite relaxed?"
Augustus raised his doubts.
"Then did you see that there are also Kree Empire and Sovereigns in the movie Thor: Ragnarok?"
Fu Qinghai glanced at him and said.
"You mean... there are players messing around!"
Augustus reacted immediately.
"It's just a suspicion, not confirmed yet."
Fu Qinghai said without comment.
"So what do you want to do?"
Augustus asked immediately.
He was used to asking Fu Qinghai for his opinion.
"If, I mean if, after Thor leads the Asgard refugees to Earth, the major events of the plot line are still not over, then we may have to participate in the suppression of the rebellion."
Fu Qinghai thought for a moment and analyzed:
"After all, we are called the 'Asgard' camp."
"It's not easy to suppress the rebellion."
Augustus was very happy to hear this:
"This time we must let our club take advantage of it. We came to Asgard with you this time and got nothing. It's a good opportunity for us to go to other planets in the Nine Realms and experience firsthand what the World Tree's spellcasting system is all about."
"As you wish."
Fu Qinghai shrugged indifferently.
"You're not going?"
Augustus asked.
"After accompanying Thor back to Earth, I will go to Nidavellir to take care of some things."
Fu Qinghai told us his plan.
Nidavellir is the land of the dwarves.
"Why are you going there? The dwarves are rebelling too?"
the Draenei asked curiously.
In Augustus's impression, the Light Elves, the Dwarves and the Vanir have always been the most staunch supporters of the Aesir. Other countries may launch rebellions, but the Dwarves will never betray Asgard.
"It's not about suppressing the rebellion."
Fu Qinghai did not explain too much:
"Just ask them to make some equipment."
…
Earth, a small fishing village on the Norwegian border.
This is called "New Asgard".
This place was originally deserted. After Thor took a fancy to it, he quickly asked the United Nations to coordinate with the Norwegian government through the Avengers to set aside a small piece of land for the Asgard refugees to live in. The Aesir enjoyed autonomy in this area, which was named "Asgard Special Zone."
Thor was originally one of the three giants of the Avengers in the movie version. He personally went to find his two old friends, Stark and Rogers, so this little thing was not a problem at all. Without the help of any construction team, the Aesir refugees used magic to quickly build their own houses.
At this time, inside a Nordic-style stone hall.
Candle chandeliers were hanging on the ceiling, and below them was a long table with barbecue, wine, and various delicacies on it. Both sides of the table were filled with people, strong men and women with blond hair and blue eyes. They held beer glasses high in their hands, celebrating the completion of the new home, celebrating this hard-earned victory and escape.
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
"Long live Thor, long live Asgard!"
The cup walls collided and foam splashed everywhere.
People shouted and drank happily.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet for a moment."
At this time, Thor raised his hand and pressed it twice and said.
The people in the banquet hall fell silent.
Thor cleared his throat and said:
"If you ask me, our successful arrival on Earth and settlement this time, as well as our successful departure from Asgard and building our new home under the threat of the Kree Empire, the Sovereigns, and a certain evil god, all depend on the help of one person..."
As Thor spoke, he looked around at the men, women, young and old. Many of the boys and girls here were not yet adults, and some were already very old. Thor looked into the eyes of each of them. They were all his compatriots and fellow countrymen.
Saul felt very relieved.
Because their eyes are full of hope.
Infinite hope for the future.
"Qingshan, my friend!"
Thor suddenly raised his voice and said.
Fu Qinghai, who had been sitting next to him and drinking and eating silently, had already anticipated this scene. Upon hearing this, he put down the knife and fork in his hand and held the wine glass in front of him.
"You are the real hero, the savior of Asgard, and a good friend of the Aesir. Even though we have never met each other before, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart at this moment. Thank you for everything you have done for us!"
Fu Qinghai wiped his mouth and raised his glass:
"You're welcome."
Thor grabbed Fu Qinghai's arm and lifted him up.
With his other hand he raised his glass high and shouted:
"Long live Qingshan!"
"Long live Qingshan! Long live Qingshan!"
All the Asgardian refugees shouted in unison.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone."
…
The banquet was halfway through and everyone was drunk.
Thor and Qingshan kept clinking their glasses and drinking.
The only feeling that Lei Shen has now is that they met too late. He thinks Fu Qinghai is very much to his taste. He eats meat and drinks a lot, and his fighting ability is also very strong. Of course, there are still some differences between the two. Lei Shen thinks that he is a rough blond macho. In his opinion, Qingshan is also handsome, but his appearance is relatively "quiet".
That doesn't match his muscular body at all.
After ten rounds of drinking, Fu Qinghai thought that they had drunk enough and the atmosphere was right, so he gently put down his glass, turned to face Thor, organized his words a little, and said seriously:
"Thor, I need your help."
"Brother, go ahead and say it! Just go ahead and say it!"
Thor's face was flushed and his eyes were sleepy.
He waved his hand majestically and spoke vaguely.
Fu Qinghai looked at him seriously and said:
"I'm going to Nidavellir to ask the dwarves to make me a set of armor. But I'm not familiar with the dwarves. Can you pass a message to them? Just as a favor to me..."
"Just for such a small matter?"
Thor waved his hand in displeasure to interrupt him.
He glanced at Fu Qinghai and said,
"We are brothers. Do you need to come to me in person to tell me about such a small matter? It's just a set of armor. I will tell the Dwarf King to do his best to arrange everything for you!"
Thor patted his chest and said:
"Don't worry."
"Then I feel relieved."
Fu Qinghai nodded and said.
Fu Qinghai kept his promise and returned the Spear of Odin to Thor after the battle. It was his father's relic, but he did not return any of the other things in the palace treasury, nor did he plan to return them. After all, Asgard had also robbed them from other worlds. For Thor, he would be even more worried if those treasures were in Hela's hands, fearing that Hela would use them against him. He felt more at ease if Qingshan took them away.
Fu Qinghai had previously made a brief inventory of his gains. He was not familiar with many of the items and needed to go to the Void to ask the Order Alliance for identification, but he had definitely seen two of them - a damaged silver closed battle armor and a huge golden glove with six inlay holes.
The former is the Destroyer Armor.
It was smashed in the first Thor movie. It is said to be Odin's armor. It is called armor but it is actually a magic puppet construct. Loki once hid in Asgard and remotely controlled this magic armor to go to Earth to kill Thor, but was finally defeated by the explosive Thor.
The latter is the legendary Infinity Gauntlet.
According to Hela, Thanos is not the only person in the universe who wants to collect the Infinity Stones to create the Infinity Gauntlet. Odin also had this idea, but for some reason, he eventually gave up and left only an empty shell glove made by the dwarves in the treasury.
The two mentioned above have one thing in common.
They are all made of Uru metal.
The famous Uru metal!
Stormbreaker, Mjolnir, Odin's Spear, Loki's Dagger... countless Asgardian treasures are made of Uru metal. It is the first magic-affinity metal in the Marvel multiverse. Not only is it magic-affinity, but its hardness is also off the charts.
Second only to True Adamantium.
The Infinity Gauntlet and the Destroyer Armor, the two together would provide enough materials. Fu Qinghai could finally realize his grand plan of magic powered armor. He didn't know how to recast and process the Uru metal, but the dwarves knew.
Of course, even without Thor's intervention, Fu Qinghai could force the dwarves to build armor for him through force and coercion - this is what Thanos did when he built the Infinity Gauntlet. But since we can cooperate openly, why use force and coercion? Weapons created by this method may have some defects. After all, power armor is very complex and needs to be carefully designed and built.
After talking about business, the two continued to clink glasses and drink.
At this time, two Asgardian girls came over with wine glasses in their hands. One of them leaned on Fu Qinghai's shoulders, and whispered in his ear with charming eyes:
"Qingshan Khan, can we..."
"Haha, Qingshan, our Aesir girls are like this, warm and generous without any pretense, unlike the reserved Earthlings, but they all sincerely admire you."
Thor laughed and said upon seeing this.
He also winked at Fu Qinghai.
Hinting to him not to reject the girls' kindness.
Fu Qinghai turned and looked at the two girls.
They are tall, healthy and ruddy, with natural blonde hair that is quite eye-catching. Although they are not very delicate in appearance - they are both white girls, at least not as delicate as Justine. But they are youthful and lively, and have a certain flavor.
"According to the definition of Earthlings..."
A girl giggled and said:
"We are both goddesses."
They are really not wrong. Any Aesir is a god no matter in the comic universe or the movie universe. It's just that these gods have different abilities and strengths. The strong ones are like Hela and Thor, while the weak ones are like Sif, one of the three warriors of Asgard and Thor's original wife in the comics, who has no sense of existence.
"Okay, okay."
Fu Qinghai agreed readily.
At this time, a child from the Aesir rushed in from outside the banquet hall. The boy moved among the banquet crowd as nimbly as a fish, and soon came behind the God of Thunder, lay on his shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear.
Thor was slightly stunned after hearing what he said.
The flush on his face faded away instantly.
He turned his head and looked at Fu Qinghai and said seriously:
"Qingshan, Steve and Stark want to talk to you."
