Shen He felt relieved to hand Natsuki Subaru over to Reinhard.

The people in this world seemed to only regard Reinhard as an ordinary swordsman with only the protection of the swordsman.

It can be said to be a typical case of not recognizing the real boss.

After watching Natsuki Subaru reluctantly bid farewell to Emilia, packed up his things, and embarked on the journey of becoming stronger, Shen He also took Emilia and Rem away with confidence and returned to the castle.

"The maids in the castle are just virtual and can only passively execute simple commands." Shen He said this to Rem, "So, Rem, you will be the head maid in the future."

"Maid, head maid?"

Rem pinched the corner of her skirt and looked around nervously. This castle is almost several times the size of Roswaal's mansion.

And those maids...

Although Shen He said that they are all virtual, each one is perfect and looks like a maid with explosive power.

Can I really do it?

"Just do your best." Shen He encouraged with a smile, "I told you that you are much better than Ram as a maid. This is your understanding, so don't worry."

"......Yes." Rem took a deep breath, a sweet smile appeared on her face, loosened her tightly clenched fingers, and saluted Shen He slightly with the hem of her skirt, "May I ask what the master wants?"

"Getting into the state so quickly?" Shen He's eyes lit up, and he felt more and more that his decision to bring Rem was right, "Then you should get familiar with the castle first."

"Yes." Rem encouraged herself secretly.

"Rem is really super good." Emilia looked at Rem who was leaving with some reluctance.

From now on, she probably won't have many opportunities to live with Rem and Ram.

Shen He could vaguely sense Emilia's emotions.

Although she tried hard not to cause trouble for others, in fact, her emotions were about the same as those of a seven or eight-year-old girl. Naturally

, she was reluctant to leave her familiar little friend.

"If you want, you can stay here as long as you want." Shen He said with a smile, "Anyway, I have several long-term guests here, don't treat yourself as an outsider."

"Really?" Emilia was looking forward to it.

None of Shen He's companions would discriminate against her half-elf identity. If she could stay here, she would definitely be very happy.

"Of course, I'll take you to your room..."

This is just a small matter for Shen He. After all, no man would refuse a girl who is easy to get along with and cute to live in his home. If there is, then he must have no money and can't afford it.

So far, the journey from the zero world has come to an end for the time being.

Although Reinhard's wish has not been fully realized, it has also brought Grunica to the right path. The rest only needs to solve the threat that the witch brings to the world.

However, this last step is not easy.

Shen He gradually realized the shortcomings of his team. At the level involving the root, only a few people have the strength to fight.

And facing the "true god" like the witch of jealousy.

Perhaps Saiki Kusuo and Reinhard can defeat or even kill her together, but to seal or imprison her.

Difficult...

Shen He specifically asked Saiki Kusuo that the time loop should be useless for the Witch of Envy. Among the powers she obtained, there must be a part related to time.

Even if the enhancement card is used, time travel to before the Witch of Envy obtains the power will be useless. Such a huge change will push the whole world into an uncontrollable abyss.

However, despite this, Shen He is not panicked at all. What if it

really reaches the most dangerous step.

There should also be servants from the future to help.

I always feel that this will make people lazy.

Shen He shook his head, put this matter aside, and turned his attention to another thing at the moment.

Calculating the time, it is already a year after the Battle of New York.

The plot of Thor 2 is about to begin.

This is a landmark event for Asgard's official decline. The Queen of Gods died tragically, Odin lost his power and previous wisdom, and the domain of God suffered heavy losses.

After having the talent, Shen He is full of interest in the power system of the Marvel world.

What is the difference between Odin's power and the power of the Witch of Envy? Is he stronger or weaker? Perhaps for them, this is an answer that they can never reach, but for Shen He, the two have the opportunity to collide and compare.

Shen He is now full of passion for cultivation.

So he has been staying in the Sky Garden.

Waiting quietly.

It is only half a month.

Thor, holding his girlfriend, waving his hammer, fell from the sky and landed directly in the center of the Sky Garden. The loud sound represents his nervousness.

Then he was tied up by Semiramis.

"How dare you destroy my garden!"

Semiramis's angry voice echoed throughout the Sky City. Twelve huge suspended turrets turned their directions and aimed at Thor who was hanging in the air.

Even with the body of Thor, there was a sense of extreme danger.

In this city, Semiramis's power was strengthened tenfold.

Her poison was enough to threaten the gods.

The most important thing is.

Thor was wrong.

Shen He did not come out to be a peacemaker this time, because he knew that the empress loved her garden the most, and she would not allow anyone to step on it, even himself.

The result was that

when Thor finally appeared in front of Shen He, his face was swollen like a bun, and his eyes revealed fear.

"It's too poisonous! Shen He, using poison is not what a warrior does!"

"She is not a warrior, she is the empress, the oldest poisoner in the world." Shen He spread his hands, "So, if you don't fight back, what kind of trouble do you have that you want us to help you with?"

"It's Jane, there's something wrong with her body!"

Thor quickly pulled Jane over, but the Queen didn't make things difficult for this ordinary human girl.

Asgard is still forbidden to outsiders.

So when there were other options, Thor came to the Sky Garden as soon as possible. In his heart, Chaldea from the other dimension might have more treatment methods than Asgard.

"You made the right decision to send her here."

Shen He noticed the changes in her body the first time he looked at Jane.

This power...

his eyes were a little surprised and doubtful.

Because this feeling was very similar to the feeling that the Witch of Envy gave him in the world of Re:Zero, just like the essence of the world - the root.

Reality Stone...

Shen He had seen a post about the Reality Stone some time ago, saying that the Reality Stone might be the most powerful.

Because using it, people can realize any dream.

All scientific codes and natural laws are meaningless in front of it, and it can modify them at will. The Reality Stone is not only able to create illusions that are indistinguishable from reality, but as long as the user is willing, it can completely turn illusions into reality.

If the Reality Gem is a group of ownerless, powerful "roots of the world"...

No, it doesn't make sense.

The reason why the root of the world is the root is that it must be linked to the world.

"Follow me."

Shen He brought Thor and Jane to a medical clinic in the Sky Garden, and then summoned Doctor Gua Tai to check Jane's body first.

However, the invincible soul-chasing underworld is obviously going to hit a wall this time.

"Thor, the emergence of this power is not that simple, it is a sign." Shen He and Tony stood outside the medical room.

"Did Chaldea see anything?" Thor looked at Shen He with some concern. He

didn't doubt Shen He's words. In fact, he had a sense of undercurrent surging during this period of time when he calmed down the rebellion of the nine major countries.

If it was the old him, he would probably not take it seriously at all.

But now it's different.

Especially Thor realized that his father had become very weak at some point.

"..."

Shen He was silent for a while, turned his head, and looked at Thor, whose face was still swollen like a bun.

A word came out of his mouth.

"Ragnarok."

"Asgard does have such a legend, and the legend of Ragnarok has been passed down for a long time." Thor did not take this legend seriously as in the original plot. He clenched his fists, "I may not have enough strength now."

"...You have really grown a lot." Shen He couldn't help but admire.

Tony was basically in front of him, so it was difficult to feel the change, but Thor, who had not seen him for a long time, really made Shen He feel what kind of changes his previous actions had brought.

"But what does this have to do with the things in Jane's body?" Thor couldn't help asking.

"The things in her body are the weapons of an ancient race - the dark elves."

Shen He didn't have Odin's ancient book that recorded the dark elves, but he still told Thor the information he knew.

That was the enemy of Thor's ancestors.

"Dark elves...I have never heard of them." Thor murmured to himself, "I don't know how many things my father...has not told me, how many crises."

"Maybe he thinks it's not time yet." Shen He didn't know what to say.

The image of Odin in his heart has changed since he refused to let him enter Asgard.

However, Thor obviously felt more deeply.

"After I quelled the rebellion of the Nine Realms, I should have become king, but my father refused. He said I was not ready yet - but I know that I am ready." Thor's expression was calm, and there was no indignation in his eyes when he said these words, "And this is what I am worried about. My father... is already old."

When he should hand over power, he refused because of inexplicable fear.

Perhaps he was worried about Thor.

But he could not give a reason for his worry, which just showed that the powerful God King no longer had enough confidence to control the overall situation.

"Don't worry too much."

Shen He stretched out his hand and patted Thor on the shoulder.

Then, Doctor Gua Tai came out of the medical room.

"The patient's current condition is still stable." Doctor Gua Tai's expression was indeed a little depressed. "Although that kind of power is constantly eroding her body, it is not intense. It's just that I can't affect that power. It is too strong and unfamiliar... Maybe I can do it if I have enough time, but what the patient lacks most now is time." "...

"

Thor was silent for a while, and suddenly strode towards the medical room.

"What are you going to do?" Shen He asked.

"Take Jane to Asgard." Thor replied.

"Your father won't have any way, and most importantly, he doesn't care about Jane's life. He only cares about the weapons of the dark elves."

This sentence obviously worked, and Thor stopped.

If Jane is taken back.

Being imprisoned by his father may be the biggest possibility.

"Then what should I do?"

Thor was a little irritable again.

He may have changed a lot, but when he encounters something he really cares about, he still can't stay calm.

"This is the weapon of the dark elves." Shen He looked at him calmly, "No one knows it better than the dark elves. I said I would help you. If the father of the gods is no longer wise as you said, then Asgard needs a truly wise king."

"..."

Thor looked at Shen He in disbelief. He finally understood what Shen He meant.

"This is betrayal!"

Thor could no longer remain calm.

"You said it yourself, you are ready." Shen He shrugged, "I think this is also a way to prove yourself to your father... But the decision is in your hands."

"... Let me think about it."

Thor punched the wall hard.

Shen He said nothing more, but walked away silently.

When Thor said to think about it, instead of directly refusing, he already knew the answer to the tracking.

Throughout the trilogy of the Thor series, Thor has grown and changed greatly in almost every part.

From the recklessness in the first part, to the calmness in the second part, to the decisiveness in the third part.

Now, his growth is even better.

So just one night later, Shen He met Thor.

"I need a plan, and a formal alliance with you."

"Is this the result of your thinking all night?" Shen He handed over a glass of fruit wine.

"No, Jane's matter is just a push." ​​Thor took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Good wine! Apart from the fine wine brewed by Asgard for a thousand years, I have never tasted such delicious wine."

"After the alliance, we can sell some to Asgard, but it can only be used as a luxury product, after all, the production is not large." Shen He also took a sip himself, and the atmosphere of the discussion immediately became better.

Sure enough, talking about business at the wine table is the kingly way.

"When I quelled the rebellion this year, I was thinking about what I would do after I became king." Thor sighed, "At that time, I thought of you first. You are our best friends. Our friendship has passed the test in fighting side by side again and again."

"Thank you." Shen He and Thor drank another glass.

"Asgard reached its peak when my father was young. That was also our most glorious moment, but-since then, for thousands of years, we have made no progress." Thor has been able to face Asgard's shortcomings frankly.

This is the foundation of being a king.

The people may firmly believe that their country is the most powerful and unrivaled, and be filled with blind love for it,

but the king, the ruler, must understand the shortcomings of the kingdom.
