Chapter 103 Location of Retrieval
"Master, do you think the Dark Elves will attack again?" Wanda asked as she followed Shendu back to the Kingdom of Luo's treasury.
The Holy Lord said calmly, "Yes, but this time they won't attack the treasury directly. Malekith's only goal from beginning to end is Jane. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Malekith leave."
Wanda frowned. "Then what should we do?"
The Holy Lord looked at the guards patrolling around the treasury in the distance and said, "Wait for him to come, then capture him."
The Dark Elf's spaceship flew over Asgard. Malekith stood by the window, looking towards the Golden Palace. Beside him was a smart screen that recorded the current state of the Aether particles.
Malekith held a new dark matter sword in his hand, surrounded by black energy.
"Prepare," Malekith said coldly. "We will launch the second attack as soon as the power of the Aether reaches its peak."
The generals agreed in unison. Malekith gripped his sword tightly, and the disdainful look of the Holy Lord reappeared in his eyes: "Holy Lord, I will not lose this time."
The power of the ether particles has been rising steadily over the past few days, and Jane lies on her hospital bed, her face as pale as paper.
The power of the ether particles surged within Jane's body, the veins in her arms bulged, red blood flowed visibly in her veins, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.
"She can't hold on much longer." An Asgardian doctor looked at Frigga, his voice tinged with anxiety. "The power of the Aether is too strong; her body is being eroded by it."
Frigga stood by Jane's bedside, her face filled with worry as she looked at Jane lying in the hospital bed. She knew very well how terrifying the power of the ether particles was, and Jane was just an ordinary human being whose body simply could not withstand the impact of such power.
"Where is the Holy Lord?" Frigg asked.
"They're on their way," a servant replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the medical wing opened, and the Holy Lord led Wanda into the room. His eyes swept over the hospital bed, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Everyone, get out," the Holy Lord said calmly. "You're just getting in the way."
The doctors looked at Frigga, who nodded. "Go out."
The doctors left the medical wing, leaving only Saint, Wanda, Frigga, and Jane in the room.
The Holy Lord knelt down beside the sickbed, and the magic circle that had appeared in the Golden Palace that day reappeared in his hand, enveloping Jian.
Jane's body trembled violently for a moment, then gradually calmed down, the pain on her face eased slightly, and her breathing became steady.
The Holy Lord withdrew his hand and said, "The power of the ether particles is out of control. It is currently abnormally active, and Jane's body cannot withstand the impact of this energy. If no measures are taken, she will be completely devoured by the ether particles."
Frigga's face darkened: "Is there any way to solve this?"
The Holy Lord raised his hand and drew a star map in the air, marking the locations of the Nine Realms and their convergence point, a void region located between Asgard and Vanaheim.
"There," the Holy Lord pointed to the spot, "where the branches of the World Tree intertwine."
Frigga frowned: "That's the void, there's no land or air, ordinary humans simply can't survive there."
"So we need Thor's power," Shendu said. "His Mjolnir can create a temporary force field in the void, a force field that can protect Jane."
After a long silence, Frigga nodded: "I'll go talk to Odin."
In the Golden Palace, Odin remained silent for a long time after hearing Frigga's report, then stared at the Holy Lord and asked, "Are you confident?"
"Eighty percent." The Holy Lord didn't give a full answer: "The remaining twenty percent depends on the specific circumstances at the time."
Odin tapped his fingers lightly on the Spear of Eternity: "What will happen to the Aether if you fail?"
The Holy Lord did not evade the question: "It's very simple. If we fail, the aether particles will go out of control. They will spread throughout the Nine Realms and turn everything into darkness, or they may collapse into a singularity and devour everything around them. Either outcome would be a disaster for Asgard."
The hall was silent. Everyone knew that the Holy Lord was not exaggerating; the out-of-control ether particles could indeed do this.
"I agree." Thor suddenly spoke, breaking the silence of the hall. He walked to the Holy Lord's side, his eyes flashing with lightning.
Odin looked at Thor, his expression complex, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Thor gripped Mjolnir tightly: "I'm sure Jane was brought here by me, and it's my responsibility to protect her."
Odin was silent for a moment, then nodded, his voice tinged with weariness: "Go, but I have one condition."
"What are the conditions?"
Odin's gaze fell on Loki: "Loki will go with you."
Loki paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips: "I'm happy to help."
Thor frowned slightly. He knew Odin's intention. Loki was a variable, and having him by his side was far safer than keeping him in the shadows. He could only sigh and nod.
On the terrace of the Golden Palace, Shendu, Wanda, Loki, Thor, and Jane stood together. Jane was placed on a magical shield made by Asgard to protect her from the outside environment.
"Are you ready?" Thor asked the Holy Lord.
The Holy Lord nodded and looked at the distant sky. As the light and shadow of the Nine Realms accelerated their fusion, the figure of the World Tree became clearer and clearer, and the center point of the celestial convergence was forming.
"Loki," the Lord commanded, "you are responsible for Jane's safety. If anything happens to her, I doubt Thor will let you off the hook."
Loki's smile froze for a moment: "Can't you trust me just this once?"
"Wanda," Shendu said, looking at Wanda, "Stay by my side and use chaos magic to protect our rear. The dark elves might attack us from behind."
"Yes, Master." Wanda lowered her head and replied, "Wanda will definitely complete the mission."
"Sol".
Finally, the Holy Lord looked at Thor and said, "You are responsible for opening the path to the center of the celestial convergence. Use your power as the god of thunder to tear through the void and take us there."
"clear."
As soon as Thor finished speaking, he raised Mjolnir, and a thick bolt of lightning struck the hammerhead. Instead of spreading out, the lightning coalesced into a dazzling ball of light that spun above Thor's head.
"drink!"
Thor roared and swung Mjolnir forward with a mighty swing. A ball of light flew past the hammerhead and exploded in mid-air, tearing a rift into the void.
On the other side of the rift lies a vast and boundless sea of stars.
The branches of the World Tree spread across the sea of stars, and the enormous branches were covered with stars. The light from the nine worlds intertwined in the starry sky to form a huge vortex, which was the midpoint where the celestial bodies converged.
