Chapter 138: Recycling the Destroyer's Armor, Return to Azeroth

After arriving in New Mexico, Luode directly cast an invisibility spell on himself, then began watching the battle between the Heavenly Palace Four Warriors and the Destroyer.

The combat strength of the Heavenly Palace Four Warriors, even in Asgard, is that of a top-tier commander, but compared to the Destroyer, it falls far short.

The massive Destroyer mech's headgear mask split open, emitting a huge flame shockwave.

After just a few rounds, the Heavenly Palace Four Warriors were collectively defeated.

"Don't kill them, my brother, the one you want is me, come on." At this moment, the now-mortal Thor spread his arms, looking at the massive Destroyer armor before him, and spoke.

Let me end all of this. My brother, if you truly want the throne of Asgard that badly, then I'll give it to you.

Loki, far away in the Asgard Celestial Palace, curled the corner of his mouth into a sinister smile, directly let the Celestial Palace Four Warriors go, and then headed toward Thor.

"These two brothers really love and hate each other; Loki may stab each time, but it's never fatal!" Luode, sitting to the side watching the show, said.

These two brothers are truly the epitome of love and hate, countless betrayals, countless alliances.

At this moment, the Destroyer armor lightly punched and sent Thor flying; as a mortal, he instantly collapsed to the ground, falling into a near-death state.

But the lovable younger brother did not, as before, give his dear older brother a finishing blow, giving up the chance to deliver a killing strike.

Then he watched helplessly as Thor's hammer flew over from afar, after which a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, and Thor appeared in his godly glory.

Next came a hero's entrance story; Thor wielded his hammer and successfully smashed the Destroyer armor to pieces.

After a sappy exchange of endearments, Thor and the Celestial Palace Four Warriors rode the Rainbow Bridge back to the Celestial Palace.

"Don't worry, he'll come back; he promised you." Daisy came up to Doctor Jian and said.

"Yes, I know he will definitely come back to find me." Jian said.

At this moment, the female doctor's face beamed with a happy smile, but Luode understood that this romance would ultimately end in tragedy.

A mortal and a god cannot be matched; the enormous lifespan difference between them already limits everything, and even if Doctor Jian never contracts a fatal illness in the future, this relationship would not last long.

If they truly want to stay together forever, Thor must find a way to extend Doctor Jian's lifespan; otherwise, their love is destined to end in tragedy.

After the show, Luode also began to act; the Destroyer's armor from the recent battle lay scattered all over the ground, and Luode started collecting the pieces one by one.

If I don't collect them, the S. H. I. E. L. D. people will come later to clean up the battlefield, and it would be a freebie for anyone—can't let S. H. I. E. L. D. get the benefit! "Wait, why? Why are those fragments disappearing on their own?" At this moment, Daisy bumped into Jian, who was daydreaming about his inner hero, pointed around, and said.

After the fierce battle just now, the Destroyer armor fragments that had been scattered all over the ground suddenly began to disappear piece by piece, as if an invisible hand were picking them up.

"Could this be some kind of alien technology? Asgard is recycling their stuff." Doctor Airis said.

"But I feel! It seems like there's some invisible guy picking these things up?" Daisy said, speechless.

"This must be Asgard's magic; after all, even though the items are broken, they still need to be recovered." Doctor Eric said.

This is normal; this is how an advanced civilization behaves.

While they were chatting, Luode had already cleaned up the Destroyer fragments; now this thing had been thoroughly hammered by Thor into scrap metal, and could only be melted down and recast.

However, a regular furnace can't melt this stuff, after all it's a weapon forged by Asgard.

After finishing collecting all the Destroyer armor fragments, Luode had no intention of exposing his identity and left directly.

This trip to the Marvel World, Luode satisfactorily completed his predetermined goals and also gained some extra spoils.

But there's still half a day left; should we make full use of it? For example, get some arms.

Besides, Luode now has portal skills, and it's also time to let his father-in-law see some modern weapons.

Next, Luode directly went to a U. S. military base near New Mexico, then packed up all kinds of missiles, tanks, helicopters, rocket launchers, and other modern weapons.

"Enemy! Enemy, attack!" the soldier monitoring the surveillance exclaimed in panic.

A big bunch of Beautiful Country's soldiers just watched helplessly as all the aircraft, tank guns, and various advanced weapons inside their own base vanished one by one into thin air.

But they had no recourse, and didn't even know what was happening.

"Make a phone call! We can't handle this." The base commander sighed.

"Sin! Sin! You guys are using these things to bully those poor Middle Eastern folks; let me take care of this for you!"

Over the next half day, Luode ran across half of the Beautiful Country's west, successively looting three of its military bases.

During this period, no casualties occurred; he perfectly upheld his promise with the Ancient One: I only take things, never harm people.

When three days were up, Luode directly tore through the spatial barrier and temporarily left the Marvel World.

"Enough, any more bad news to tell me?" At that moment, the S. H. I. E. L. D. director, a certain blockhead Nick Fury, was sitting in his office with a worried frown.

The aliens in New Mexico let Earth's humans know for the first time that there are other civilizations in the universe besides themselves.

But then came a string of odd incidents. The unit he sent to recover the aliens' armor reported that there was nothing at the scene; everything had vanished.

Doctor Eric on-site speculated that this is an Asgardian alien technology they're using to recycle their own weapons.

But then, bad news came one after another. First, a mysterious entity raided the New Mexico military base, and all the high-tech weapons and equipment vanished piece by piece, as if seeing ghosts.

Then the situation spread across the entire west; military bases were successively looted. All weapons and equipment disappeared out of thin air, but personnel suffered no casualties.

"We must prepare, prepare for a high-level war; the enemy doesn't even consider us worthy of notice." Nick Fury said sternly.

This way of vanishing out of thin air, easily taking their weapons, is chilling and frightening. "Sir, do you think it might be related to that entity causing large-scale fluctuations in the Cosmic Cube's energy?" Coulson, who had returned to the New York base, said.

"We cannot rule out this possibility, nor can we rule out that Asgard obtained some Earth weapons through some means.

"In short, we need stronger, more advanced weapons, enough to deter these aliens; otherwise, our planet will be their backyard, and we will have no security." Nick Fury said.

It's time to let those Skrulls contribute; they've lived peacefully on Earth for many years.

If that really doesn't work, I'll just summon a certain woman from an alien planet to come handle this.

Luode didn't know that, because of his actions, S. H. I. E. L. D. had become even more determined to develop advanced weapons.

After all, the military bases raided this time were somewhat numerous; the president, vice president, various legislators, and even his former superior Pierce were all very angry.

As soon as Luode appeared in Undercity, he saw Kaido and Sylvanas, among others, who had come to greet him.

"You're back right on time; it's exactly three days." Kaido said.

"How's everything going? Is it still going smoothly?" Sylvanas asked.

"How to put it! Although there were some minor hiccups, overall this operation was very successful; I managed to get everything I wanted." Luode said.

This haul was truly abundant! The contingency potion from the original plan was upgraded by the Ancient One, and I obtained a more perfect version developed by future Hydra.

Besides the energy of the Space Stone, Luode also obtained the energy of the Time Stone, which is the power of the second Infinity Stone he has acquired.

As for the energy of the Time Stone, Luode currently has no intention of using it; instead, he will give it to Aizelasi to have a look, after all this is the power to control time, which also exists throughout the world of Aizelasi, and only those bronze dragons can master such power.

Besides that, I have also learned two practical space-type spells: one is to draw circles to open a portal, and the spell to open mirror space.

"Tch, don't keep me in suspense, kid. Show me that potion you mentioned that can grant the power of the Lava Fruit." Kaido said with an impatient expression.

"How should I put it! This potion can grant abilities similar to the Magma Fruit or the Hot-Hot Fruit, and it is not afraid of seawater."

"Furthermore, it grants the ability to regenerate severed limbs; even if an entire arm or leg is cut off, it can instantly regenerate."

"Of course, if your head is cut off, it cannot regenerate." Luode ran through all the abilities of the Desperation Potion.

"This is an upgraded version of the Desperation Potion, with no risk of self-destruction and also no extremely low success rate."

"Wait here, I'll go fetch a few subordinates right away." After saying that, Kaido rushed out excitedly.

"Besides that, what other good stuff have you gained? I can tell from your expression you're very pleased." Xierwansi said.

"I also have two very practical spells; if I want to, I can go to any place in Aizelasi I've been to, without consuming any other spatial energy." After saying that, Luode directly demonstrated the ability to draw circles and open a portal in front of Xierwansi.

He opened a portal linking to the Horde's main city, Aoguerima, and the huge city of Aoguerima appeared directly opposite.

In the world of Aizelasi, any place Luode has been to possesses spatial coordinates; this portal spell can directly send him there.

As for other places, that wouldn't work; however, if an object undergoes spatial marking, even if Luode hasn't been there, he can still open a portal to it.

"This move is pretty impressive, completely different from the portals opened by mages." Xierwansi watched Luode open the portal, even reaching out to see the other side and feeling it.

"Pull your hand back; I'll tell you, this move can also be used as an offensive spell."

"If an enemy attacks, I activate this move and then suddenly close the portal; no matter how hard the object, it will be sliced." Luode said.

After all, this is a spatial-level cut.

"Not bad, not bad; this move is indeed very useful, far more convenient than mages' portals." Xierwansi nodded in satisfaction and said.

In the world of Aizelasi, although they also have transportation-type spells, the Horde's usual means of travel between them is to take airships across the entire Endless Sea, which takes several months.

Only in an emergency would they let mages open a portal.

Now that we have this move, future travel will be much more convenient.

"You're truly amazing, Lord Luode." Bulin said with a face full of admiration.

"What about the other spell? Come on, show it to me too!" Xierwansi said.

"Watch closely! Mirror Space." A spark flashed in Luode's palm, and then he swung it toward Xierwansi, Dahe, and Bulin.

The whole space began to shatter like glass, then flip; the three women clearly felt a spatial energy at work, and then she and Luode arrived in a remarkably strange world, as if inside a glass mirror.

"This, this, this is mirror space, a mirror plane." Xierwansi exclaimed in astonishment.

"That's amazing, just like Bulei's older sister's Mirror Fruit ability." Bulin said.

This ability is somewhat like my older sister's power.

"This move is very practical; it should be usable to trap opponents." Dahe said.

"That's right, it's exactly a mirror plane; here it can be used to trap enemies, also to serve as a battlefield."

"No matter what destruction is caused here, it will have no effect on the real world." Luode said.

"This kind of spell was previously theorized by the mages of Silvermoon City, but it requires extremely superb spatial skill."

"But no one has ever succeeded in it; I never expected that you, having gone to another world, have actually researched this kind of spell." Xierwansi said.
