Chapter 2381

Aisu drew a slender sword with a sharp swish.

Elf mage Refia was a beat slower in rhythm, but had also finished preparing to gather her magic.

In the midst of this tense atmosphere—

The radiance gradually faded, and the figures of Su Han, Luo Cuilian, and Thor appeared out of thin air.

The entire banquet hall fell silent.

Gaze after gaze—some puzzled, some grave, some brimming with obvious fighting intent—were cast upon the three of them.

"... Is this the welcome ceremony for us? Well, it's certainly very solemn!"

Thor gripped Stormbreaker in his right hand and Mjolnir in his left; even in such a setting, he showed no sign of weakness and burst into laughter.

He casually slung Mjolnir behind his back, then waved his hand. A flash of lightning streaked past, and the large wine barrel on the table flew toward him. "Loki... tch! That name still feels really awkward to say.

You don't mind if I drink, do you?"

"Help yourself!"

Loki sized up Thor with great interest.

She had long been curious about Thors from other worlds... after all, in this world of the dungeon, Thor was Loki's nephew.

Grinning, Thor gulped down the wine in big mouthfuls.

Finally, with a boom, he tossed the empty barrel onto the ground.

"Drinking so heartily—"

Su Han raised an eyebrow, then said meaningfully, "Take care of your health, won't you.

I don't want to see you next time looking like the Avengers 4 version of yourself."

Thor: "..."

Thor's cheerful expression stiffened. He instinctively patted his belly before catching himself and retorting, "President, don't scare me.

These two things aren't even comparable, alright?"

"The reason the Avengers 4 version of me ended up like that was entirely because I let myself go for five years... years without much exercise!"

"But me now! My exercise volume is huge.

I drink when I should drink! Nothing major is going to happen."

"If you think it's fine, then it's fine!"

Su Han shrugged.

Choked by Su Han's words, Thor fell silent for a moment, then skipped past the topic and turned his gaze to Loki. "Why is the wine at this banquet so delicious?"

"It was brewed by the God of Wine!"

Loki answered, rubbing her chin.

Thor's eyes lit up at once. "I thought the gods in your world weren't any different from the gods in ours! But looking at it now, you've got some real skill, huh."

The moment those words left his mouth, not just Loki—even Luo Cuilian shot Thor a strange sideways glance.

The God of Wine from the DanMachi world having better brewing skills than the God of Wine from the Marvel world—isn't that perfectly normal? The gods of DanMachi have lifespans measured in hundreds of millions of years, after all.

Whereas in the Marvel world, Odin and Thor's lifespans are barely five hundred years.

Even if you just use time alone to hone a craft... the God of Wine of the DanMachi world would definitely be more skilled than the God of Wine of the Marvel world.

"Lord, who exactly are these fellows?"

The werewolf Bert furrowed his brow tightly.

He personally felt that, given this group had just appeared out of nowhere, the likelihood of them being enemies rather than friends was far greater.

"That fellow! His name is Thor."

Loki pointed at Thor Odinson, then added meaningfully, "Thor, the God of Thunder."

The hall once again fell into dead silence—then erupted into an uproar.

Finn suddenly understood, and his body relaxed. "So he's your nephew, my lord."

His brow twitching several times, Thor suddenly tightened his grip on Stormbreaker. Terrifying, scorching lightning coiled around his body as he stared hard at Finn and declared with absolute authority—

"I am Loki's elder brother! Not her nephew.

Please get this straight!"

Finn's expression stiffened, and he turned to Loki with a look that pleaded for help.

He suddenly couldn't make heads or tails of the lord's family relations... it looked terribly messy.

"Alright! That's enough talking."

Su Han reached out and patted Thor's shoulder, and the terrifying lightning within Thor's body was instantly suppressed.

Su Han said helplessly, "At least in this world, this fellow's way of thinking isn't wrong."
