Chapter 99 Return to God's Domain
Asgard
After Thor and his companions returned to Asgard from Earth through the Rainbow Bridge opened by Heimdall, they saw Heimdall collapsed next to the Rainbow Bridge with a weak and injured look on his face. After that, Thor asked Sif and others to take Heimdall for treatment, while he flew towards the palace waving Thor's hammer. The scenery of Asgard passed in front of him, and soon he came to where Loki was. At this moment, he was in Odin's hibernation room.
boom------!
"Thor, what are you doing?" Frigga asked Thor a little angrily after Thor knocked Loki away with a hammer. After all, he had just saved Thor, but Thor came back and beat Loki without saying anything, which made Frigga puzzled and a little angry.
"Mother, this is all Loki's conspiracy! He was the one who let the Frost Giants in, and he even sent out the Armor of Destruction to kill me on Earth!" Thor also knew that his mother was unaware of the situation and was still kept in the dark by Loki, so he immediately told her everything Loki had done.
"What! He sent the Destroyer Armor to Earth to kill you, oh my god, Loki!" After hearing Thor's words, Frigga covered her mouth and looked at Loki in disbelief. She never thought that this kid Loki would actually want to kill his brother Thor.
boom------!
"Wouldn't it be better for you to stay on Earth? My plan is almost completed, why did you come back!!" Loki didn't look at Frigga out of guilt, and didn't answer her. He was not afraid of anyone in Asgard, and didn't care about anyone, but Frigga. She knocked Thor to the ground with Gungnir and said to him.
boom------!
"No, you can't do this, you will plunge Asgard into war!" Thor stood up and controlled Mjolnir to knock Loki away again, and said to him. Loki stood up and did not intend to fight with Thor. How could he be the opponent of Thor who had experienced many battles? Then he shot an energy laser at Thor with Gungnir and disappeared.
Soon Loki came to the activation device of the Rainbow Bridge and immediately inserted Gungnir into it, activating the Rainbow Bridge towards Jotunheim. As long as the Rainbow Bridge was always facing one place and was not closed, its power would destroy that place, even a planet. What Loki had to do was to destroy the entire Jotunheim!
Thor flew over soon. Looking at the Rainbow Bridge that had been activated, he knew that Loki wanted to destroy Jotunheim, and was ready to stop him immediately. However, Loki had already successfully opened the Rainbow Bridge, and would destroy Jotunheim in a short while. Naturally, he would not let Thor ruin his plan.
boom------!
boom------!
The two men fought again, and the energy of the Rainbow Bridge under their feet surged out of the launch device at a rapid speed. Although Loki could not beat Thor, he could rely on Odin's Gungnir to hold Thor back. At this time, the Rainbow Bridge began to operate at full capacity and could no longer be shut down. A colorful energy in Jotunheim passed through the clouds and went straight into the earth. Unlike usual, it was not shut down, but was always on.
As time went by, the colorful energy became stronger and stronger, and the land of Jotunheim began to be torn apart by the colorful energy, and the power was affecting the entire Jotunheim. The Frost Giants had been enemies with Asgard in the past, so how could they not know what it was? It was not a secret that the Rainbow Bridge was a weapon from Yunxing. They soon guessed that Asgard wanted to destroy Jotunheim, and they had no way to stop it. Even the king had no news after he went to Asgard, so he was probably in danger.
After a fierce battle, Loki was knocked to the ground by Thor. Thor placed the hammer of Thor on Loki's chest, pressing him on the Rainbow Bridge so that he could not get up. He then prepared to shut down the launch device of the Rainbow Bridge. No matter whether Thor attacked or entered the device, he would be knocked away by the energy on its surface and could not enter it at all.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha, the Rainbow Bridge has been fully opened, you can't get in, and my plan will eventually succeed." Loki was pinned down on the Rainbow Bridge by Thor's hammer, but when he saw that Thor couldn't get into the launch device of the Rainbow Bridge, he laughed and said to Thor.
boom------!
boom------!
Soon Loki could no longer laugh, because Thor's attack on the energy flow channel of the Rainbow Bridge under his feet had even caused cracks. He was a little panicked at this moment, but the next moment he felt his chest lighten, and Thor's hammer flew into Thor's hand. Thor took it and smashed it at the energy flow channel of the Rainbow Bridge again.
boom------!
boom------!
"You're crazy, if you do this, you will never see her again!!" Loki looked at Thor in disbelief. He was the one who wanted to destroy Jotunheim first, but this time he was trying to stop him just because he had been to Earth for a few days!
Thor naturally heard what Loki said. After pausing for a moment, he smashed down again. The channel through which the energy of the Rainbow Bridge flowed was smashed by Thor. The place where he smashed it exploded directly because of the rapid flow of energy at the moment.
boom------!
A huge explosion sounded, and at the same time, the launch device of the Rainbow Bridge stopped working as the energy was lost, and the colorful energy of Jotunheim also disappeared. At this moment, Odin appeared on the wreckage of the Rainbow Bridge, holding Thor's feet who was about to fly away with one hand, while Thor grabbed Gungnir, and Loki on the other side grabbed the other side of Gungnir.
Thor looked at his father behind him with surprise. He didn't expect that he would come out to save them at the critical moment. On the other side, Loki looked at Odin expectantly, thinking that what he had done would be recognized by Odin, but Odin just shook his head.
"I never wanted the throne, but I want equality with you!" Loki said to Thor dejectedly after seeing Odin shaking his head. Then he let go of Gungnir's hand and fell into the space crack.
"No, Loki!!!" Thor shouted excitedly as he watched Loki falling down! But it didn't change anything. Later, Thor became Odin's successor. Because the Rainbow Bridge was damaged, he couldn't go to Earth to reunite with his girlfriend. He could only ask Heimdall to pay attention to her and tell him what she was doing.

Chapter 100 Zhao Helen
If Karl had seen this scene in Asgard at that time, he would definitely say in his heart that Odin, this bad old man, was very bad. How could a peak God-father-level combat power not be able to save Loki? Even if he needed to concentrate the divine power in his body, he could still save the two of them. It can be said that it was effortless, no different from carrying two little chickens, but Odin did not do so, and let Loki fall into the space crack.
It is also possible that Odin felt that if Loki stayed in Asgard, he might have to stay in prison for the rest of his life, so he let him fall into the space crack, but this is just a guess. However, Odin definitely has the ability to save Loki. As for the throne of Asgard, Loki will never be the king of Asgard.
But with his blood of the Frost Giants, if Odin made him the next crown prince of Asgard, his father Bor would jump out of Valhalla and beat Odin up. Odin would be crazy to let his archenemy become the king of his country. Even if Odin favored Loki, it would not work. But in fact, Odin always treated Thor and Loki differently.
. . . . . . . . . .
Earth, New York
When Gwen learned that Carl would come to her house for dinner tomorrow, she left happily. Carl didn't care much. He returned to his room and began to absorb dragon bones. After experiencing the battle with the Destroyer, he could now absorb dragon bones again. This time, Carl enhanced his freezing power. He absorbed dragon bones alone for a whole night. When he opened his eyes, all he saw were frozen furniture and walls.
These were all because of the freezing power that Carl inadvertently released, causing the surroundings to freeze, but fortunately only this room was frozen. Carl moved his mind, and all the ice in the room disappeared. At this moment, he could lower the temperature of his ice to -200 degrees Celsius, but it had not reached absolute zero, and it would become more and more difficult to develop as time went on.
It was already noon when Carl walked out of the room. After a while, Tony drove a supercar followed by a truck to Carl's manor. After saying hello to Red Tank, Yelena, and Speed, he entered the living room. This was mainly because they lived in front of the house where Carl and others lived, and only by passing their house could they reach the house where Carl and others lived.
"Okay, man, I'm here. Tell me what's going on. I'm already ready to make a vibranium suit!" Tony walked to the table, took a bun, sat down on the sofa, and said excitedly to Carl. He was not shy at all, especially since Carl was like this whenever he drank his wine.
"Let's use the entire nanotechnology to make nano battle suits. All we need to do is put on quickly and ensure its defensive power. I'll give you 2 tons. You help me make one for May, Raven, Wanda, Pirot, Peter, and Yelena. Once they're done, the rest will be yours." Carl also picked up a bun and took a bite, then said to Tony who was sitting on the sofa.
"Nanotechnology? It seems that the current technology has not reached that level yet. You're making me a little confused." Tony was not surprised after hearing Carl's words, but a little distressed. The current technology has not yet reached the level to manufacture nano battle suits.
"I've already thought of it for you. Go find a female doctor named Zhao Hailun. Her current research topic is the regeneration cradle, which is a stepping stone for nanotechnology. With her technology, it won't be a problem to create a quick-to-wear vibranium nano-battle suit." Carl said to Tony lightly, and told him who to find to help him.
"Zhao Hailun? She is Asian? She is also a doctor, not easy. Okay, I get it. Give me the vibranium and I will take care of it." Tony's watch brought up a blue screen with Zhao Hailun's information on it.
"No, she is Korean. You go find her. She must be in need of research funds right now. Come on, I'll give you the vibranium." Carl stood up and said to Tony, then walked outside to the truck Tony brought. With a slight wave of his hand, the door of the rear compartment of the truck opened automatically. Carl got two tons of vibranium from the system space and put it in.
"OKOK, thank you Carl, you may not know, I was a little...you know, I must improve my strength, if you have anything, just come to me, I'm going back first, the suit will be delivered in a few days!" Tony said to Carl in a somewhat bad mood, then drove away in his sports car, with the truck following closely behind.
Carl looked at Tony's leaving back and his performance just now. He should have felt powerless after seeing his battle with the Destroyer. His iron armor couldn't even withstand an energy beam from the opponent. If it hadn't been wiped away directly, he would probably only be able to lie at home now. Now with the vibranium he gave him, he naturally couldn't wait to update his armor and improve his strength, otherwise he would be as powerless as before.
This time, after seeing the Destroyer, Tony was not as anxious as in the previous timeline, perhaps because of the existence of Carl and Red Hulk. Now he just wants to update his suit and improve his strength, which saves Carl from worrying. If Tony does something out of control again, that would be a big deal.
Afterwards, Carl asked Zoom to send the physical data and abilities of the people he had just mentioned to Tony, and asked him to make different modifications based on these things. Then he went back to the house and watched TV with May in his arms. As for Raven, she was still teaching Wanda, Pirot, Peter and them.
On the other side, hands and
"I feel that someone in Manhattan has used dragon bones, and even a lot of dragon bone energy has been emitted!" Mrs. Gao said to the other people. Not all five fingers are in New York. There are only four people here: Mrs. Gao, Alexander, Bo Tu, and Suowang, while Murakami is in Sakura Country at the moment.
"This generation of Iron Fist has just come out, how could anyone use dragon bones? Moreover, we only recently learned about the dragon bones underground in Manhattan. Did you sense it wrongly? Did you sense the dragon bone energy underground in Manhattan?" Suowang looked at Mrs. Gao suspiciously and said, and the other people also looked confused.
"No, I wasn't mistaken. I even know who it is. He is Carl Augusten Zhang, a shareholder of Stark Industries. He's the one who destroyed Kingpin, attacked the Mutant Academy, and even forced the army to retreat. We are no match for him. I called you here to ask you what you think." Mrs. Gao said to the others in a certain tone, and even directly told them the information of the user, but the opponent's strength was too strong.
. . . . . . . . . .
Chapter 101 Visiting Gwen's House
Because even though the Hand and the Society are now the leading boss of Hell's Kitchen, and the Five Fingers seem to be quite powerful, they know their own strength. Let alone the Mutant Academy, even if the number of troops increases, they cannot deal with it, let alone people with connections and strength like the other party, which are naturally not something they can deal with.
"Maybe we can make a deal with him. Judging from his large-scale purchases and becoming a shareholder of Stark Industries, he must need money. Or we can kidnap his relatives..." Bo Tu suggested to Mrs. Gao and others.
"No! We can make deals, but we absolutely cannot kidnap the people around him! According to intelligence from the major gangs, a group of people once tried to kidnap the people in the manor while he was away, but a nine-meter-tall robot immediately appeared to cover their retreat, and Iron Man arrived at the scene in less than five minutes. Afterwards, someone took a photo of at least 20,000 black ninjas appearing around Carl after he returned. The entire area was filled with darkness!"
"At the same time, an air base exploded over a city in Belarus, two hours after Karl left the manor. It even crashed directly in the suburbs. There were some body debris left on it. From some leaked photos, we can see that it was a knife wound, the same kind of samurai sword that his black-clad ninja used to cut. Although our Hand and Society has existed for hundreds of years, if we are not careful, we will all die!"
Mrs. Gao spoke coldly about the intelligence she had investigated in the past few days. The other people took a deep breath after hearing Mrs. Gao's intelligence. It took only two hours to get from New York to Belarus, and to destroy the base of an unknown aerial force, plus those black-clad ninjas. This was simply too terrifying.
"We have to take a long-term view. From my analysis of him, as long as no one provokes him, he will not attack others for no reason. If we make a deal, there is a high probability of success. But if we use tricks, we may be surrounded by those black-clad ninjas the next day. Those black-clad ninjas can appear from anywhere. I discovered this through these videos and photos!" Mrs. Gao took out a mobile phone and called up some pictures and videos for the others to see.
"Okay, then let's trade. We don't have many dragon bones now, and they can only sustain us for a hundred years at most. Unless you don't want to study it anymore, you should get in touch with them as soon as possible. As for money? The last thing we lack is money." Alexander said to Mrs. Gao, and even told her how long the remaining dragon bones could sustain her life.
"Okay, I'll contact them as soon as possible." Mrs. Gao left after she said that, and the others also left one after another.

Evening
Because he promised to go to Gwen's house for dinner, Carl changed into a black suit and prepared to go. At this moment, his hair and clothes were symmetrical, and his eyes looked particularly weird, but he seemed to have a different kind of charm. Carl drove the Lamborghini to Queens.
boom------!
Twenty minutes later, Carl drove a Lamborghini to Gwen's home in Queens. At this moment, Gwen, her father, and her mother all came out of the house after hearing the sound of the supercar. They saw a black Lamborghini parked next to them, and Carl got out of it in a black suit. The dark night, the black suit, and the eyes like blue gems made Carl look particularly mysterious and charming.
Gwen and her mother Helen were smiling, but George had a sullen face and was not very welcoming to Carl. However, because of his wife, he had to agree to let Carl Augusten Zhang, whom he thought was a bastard, come to their house for dinner.
"Hello, Mr. Carl, I'm Helen Stacy, Gwen's mother. Thank you for saving her before, and I apologize for my husband's previous behavior!" Helen Stacy took two steps towards Carl and spoke first.
"I think anyone who sees this will help. Although I live in America, I am Asian, and we Orientals still like to help others." Seeing the other party's smiling face, Carl naturally would not keep a cold face and said to Helen Stacy with a chuckle.
"Okay, let's go inside and talk. I made my best lemon sea bass. Come in quickly, or it won't taste good when it gets cold." Helen Stacy said to Carl and pulled him into her home. George followed in with a dark face. Only Gwen walked in with an inexplicable smile.
"Come on, try it. I think you Asians might like Chinese food more, but I don't know if it suits your taste." Helen Stacy said after enthusiastically bringing Carl to the dining table and picking up a piece of lemon sea bass for him.
"Well, it's delicious, even better than what I had in that high-end restaurant in New York. Your cooking skills are really great!" Carl praised Helen Stacy after taking a bite. This was certainly not a compliment. The fact was, before he lived with Mei, the food he had eaten in high-end restaurants in New York was simply inedible. Perhaps it was because Americans liked it more. He was just not used to this kind of taste. But he didn't expect that what Helen Stacy cooked was so delicious.
"Eat more if you like. I know I was almost scared to death and even injured after Gwen went to deal with that big monster. Fortunately, you saved her, otherwise she would not know what would have happened." Helen Stacy said to Carl, and then she saw tears in Gwen's eyes, and it can be seen that she loves her daughter very much.
"There are many supernatural powers in the world. It can be said that supernatural powers are everywhere, but you can't access them. New York will become more and more dangerous after you go there. Gwen now has different abilities that can at least protect herself and you." Carl said to everyone at the table.
"It is because of you people with super powers that New York is becoming more and more dangerous." George Stacy said to him after hearing Carl's words. His tone was not friendly, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Carl.
"Some things are not what you see, and you can't even stop them. They are bound to happen sooner or later." Carl ignored George's unfriendly tone and spoke to everyone again indifferently.
. . . . . . . . . . .
Chapter 102 Madam Gao
"The conflict between mutants and ordinary people is more serious now. Is this also a problem for us? Aren't mutants ordinary humans who become mutants after awakening their abilities? Can you say that mutants are not a kind of human? Aren't it the major laboratories and the government that are exacerbating these conflicts? If mutants and the government go to war, will ordinary humans suffer? So you put all these responsibilities on us, which is just a tactic that worked when you were the director." Carl said after looking at George again.
"Okay, okay, we're here to eat today, let's not talk about these things." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Helen Stacy quickly invited Carl to eat to warm up the atmosphere, and patted her husband's thigh under the table, signaling that enough was enough and not to make things unpleasant again.
"By the way, is Gwen a senior in high school or in college now?" Seeing this, Carl stopped talking to George and changed the subject after eating something. Besides, even if it was the fault of the super-powered person, what did it have to do with him? As long as no one provoked him, nothing had anything to do with him.
"Gwen is in her third year of high school, but she has finished school and is preparing for her exams. She will be going to college in a while, so she can be considered a college student now," Helen Stacy said to Carl, and was happy for him to change the subject.
"Oh, so that's how it is. By the way, these are gifts for you. The East is about reciprocity. You invited me to dinner so I also prepared some gifts. I forgot about them just now. Sorry!" Carl suddenly thought of something and took out a few gorgeously packaged things from the system space and put them on the table.
There were cosmetics and bags for Gwen, scarves for Helen Stacy and other luxury items. He even prepared something for George Stacy, including a belt and a leather wallet, which were also expensive luxury items. How could he have prepared these? He just bought too much during the previous revenge consumption. But these things were all unopened. Only the things for Gwen and Helen were prepared by Mei.
"Oh my god! How can this be? These things are too expensive. We just treated you to a meal to thank you for saving Gwen's life. This... No, we can't accept it." Helen Stacy looked at the things Carl took out in surprise. These were all famous brands, and several of them added up to tens of thousands of dollars. Although their family was considered upper-middle class, they did not have the luxury to buy so many luxury goods!
"No, no, no, you must accept it. This is the etiquette of us Oriental people. It's the right thing to reciprocate. What's more, it's not something precious to me. If you don't accept it, I guess I'll have to leave now." Carl said to Helen Stacy with a chuckle, while Gwen on the other side looked at the gift Carl prepared and then looked at him straight.
"Oh, okay, but thank you, Carl." Helen Stacy also knew that the Eastern side paid more attention to these things, and considering Carl's attitude, she had to put these things away. Even George Stacy's expression was not so bad anymore.
After finishing the meal and staying for a while, Carl was ready to leave, and then Gwen came to see Carl off. Originally, George didn't intend to let Gwen see him off, but Helen stopped her. She could feel that Carl was not the kind of person her husband thought he was, so she didn't mind her daughter seeing him off.
"Well... Carl, can you come to my 18th birthday party later?" Seeing that Carl had already got into the car and was about to leave, Gwen mustered up the courage to speak to Carl. Because her relationship with Carl was not particularly good, she was afraid that inviting him to her birthday party would cause disgust. But she only had feelings for Carl. Americans are extremely enthusiastic about parties and would not be disgusted at all.
"OK, this is my phone number, just call me when the time comes. Bye!" Carl handed Gwen his personal business card and drove away. The business card was made for him by Mei, who said that he was so rich but didn't even have a business card. Wouldn't he be inferior to others when he went to parties in the future?
