Thor did feel unprecedented pressure.
For thousands of years before, he was like a child.
Under the protection of his parents, he could be willful and ignore everything, but in an instant, it was time for him to support everything.
"How far have you mastered your divine power now?" Shen He asked.
"... Letting go of the hammer is not as good as when I held the hammer in the past." Thor answered truthfully, "I lack enough experience, and the enemies in the nine countries are not enough to put pressure on me."
In fact, you only need to compare your father Odin, and there is nothing to be proud of in the past.
Odin reached his peak at his age.
"Real enemies will not give you time to experience." Shen He thought for a while, "The problem of the dark elves is not that serious. They just want to conquer the nine worlds in one fell swoop with the help of the 'celestial convergence' that occurs once every five thousand years, but... even if it is just a remnant army, it is an enemy that your ancestors have fought against."
In the movie, a mere sacrificer can break the internal cage of Asgard.
Even just a few spaceships can damage the palace of Asgard and sacrifice the queen of the gods.
Compared to his most prosperous period, Odin is not the only one who is weak now.
"I have a plan." Thor has figured out the cause and effect of the matter. "Whatever this weapon is, the dark elves need it. When they find Jane and take it out of her body, it will be the best time to destroy them in one fell swoop."
"Use your lover as bait?" Shen He looked at Thor with a smile.
"This is also the only chance to save Jane." Thor felt a little heavy.
The love between gods and mortals can never have a good ending. At most, it is full of romance at the beginning, and then it will slowly wither.
And Jane is a real mortal.
"Since you have made up your mind, let's go to Asgard together." Shen He paused, then emphasized, "You should know that where I am, the whole Chaldea is there."
"Thank you." Thor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and comfortably picked up the wine glass and drank it all. "Loki may have wisdom that I can never learn, as well as cruelty and decisiveness, but he will never have friends."
"Drink this bottle of wine, and we will set off." Shen He picked up the bottle and poured him another glass.
Asgard is now strictly prohibited for others to enter.
But as long as you are thick-skinned.
Shen He doesn't believe that Odin will really drive away the mysterious and friendly supreme leader of Chaldea. That would not be old, but stupid.
After really just drinking this bottle of wine, and then telling Jeanne, Shen He stood with Thor who was hugging Jeanne.
The Rainbow Bridge fell from the sky.
Unlike the last time, Shen He had a more intuitive understanding of this ability to travel through time and space.
It constructed an independent space channel connecting a distant distance of light years.
"Who originally made the Rainbow Bridge?"
Shen He tried to make his own voice, and then he found that in this twisted space, sound could actually be transmitted.
"I really don't know this." Thor was obviously stunned. "As far as I can remember, there has been the Rainbow Bridge. However, when it was destroyed before, it was my father who mobilized the dark energy and repaired it with the help of the Cosmic Cube."
"Dark energy..." Shen He murmured.
The dark elves also like to talk about dark energy. He remembered that when Thanos killed Loki, Heimdall used the last dark energy to send the Hulk back to Earth.
I always feel that there are many specific situations in the movie that cannot be expressed through people's imagination.
When Shen He was thinking, they stepped out of the vortex of the Rainbow Bridge, and it took only a minute.
"Thor, outsiders are not allowed to enter Asgard now."
Heimdall, with golden eyes, did not forget his mission.
"But it's just a small mistake. I will personally admit it to my father." Thor hugged Jane and turned his head, "Can Shen He keep up? We need to avoid being seen by too many people."
"Don't worry, I can fly now." Shen He's toes were slightly suspended in the air.
This is just a simple way to use Yin magic. If I had known Beatrice earlier, I wouldn't have to jump around in the sky every time I fought in the air.
Thor really often does such sneaking things.
Following behind him, a concealed flight route was planned using the buildings almost perfectly, and it was even possible to get to the palace without anyone observing.
But here, there is no way to avoid being discovered.
There are already Asgard guards wearing golden armor running over.
"Your Highness, the palace is forbidden to outsiders. This is the king's order."
"Get out of the way!" Thor shouted domineeringly.
However, the guards in front of him did not move, and more and more guards came.
Thor was a little embarrassed.
But he could only give Shen He a look, indicating that there was no way out this time.
"Thor." Soon, an old but majestic voice appeared in front of everyone, "Since when did you dare to disobey my orders at will."
This was an old man with white hair but a sturdy and tall figure, who could be called another Thor.
The iconic one-eye represented his identity.
The King of the Gods, Odin.
Shen He's eyes lit up.
Finally, the image of an important character was completely different from the movies he had watched in the past.
Originally, he was still thinking whether he would see an old man who was similar to Odin in the movie, a puffy, short, and seemingly unintimidating old man.
Even if he had aged to this point, as an Asgardian, he would not become like that.
Not to mention that he was the King of the Gods.
"Meet His Majesty the God King." Shen He saluted elegantly.
Odin's gaze lingered on him for a long time.
Of course, he knew about the changes that had taken place on the earth.
This Chaldean master who claimed to be from another universe turned the earth upside down in less than two years, and even showed a strong mystery and rapid growth.
Odin was both alert and worried.
Unfortunately, he was old.
"You have helped Thor, you are his friend, and a friend of Asgard, not an outsider." Odin spoke, excluding Shen He from the ban, and then looked at Jane in Thor's arms, and suddenly a surge of anger surged, "But mortals should not appear here, guards, expel her back to Earth."
"Wait--"
Jane jumped directly from Thor's arms, as if she wanted to say something, Thor quickly covered her mouth.
Obviously, Thor also knew how his girlfriend had no sense of hierarchy.
"There is something in Jane's body, father, Shen He said it was a weapon." Thor stared at his father and said word by word, "The weapon of the dark elves."
"...This is impossible!"
Odin was obviously surprised, and looked at Shen He deeply again, and then walked up.
His palm stroked Jane's arm.
Dark red energy surged under this body.
Ether particles.
"I was also surprised at first." Shen He understood that Odin had recognized this infinite gem, and he said loudly, "But the fate of this universe is always so unexpected and stable. Among the countless creatures in the nine realms, it was just Jian who encountered the ether and brought it out of the seal - I think this may be some kind of revelation of fate."
Putting the drama of the plot in another way, the style is obviously much higher.
People like the king of the gods cannot deny the existence of fate.
"The dark elves have disappeared." Odin retracted his palm, "My father eradicated them, and the appearance of the ether... is just a coincidence."
"I hope so." Shen He followed without any intention.
He was sure that Odin definitely knew something.
But he was scared.
He didn't dare to believe that the dark elves would make a comeback, because his current power, the current power of Asgard, might not be able to stop the dark elves like his father, and if they got the weapon, it would be a disaster.
"It's no use bringing her here."
Odin said this coldly, then turned and left, but he didn't ask the guards to expel Jane.
Shen He watched him leave silently.
His hand touched the pendant on his chest.
"How is it?"
"Although he hid it very well, Betty still saw that his body was rapidly declining every moment." Beatrice's voice came into his mind.
Elves are extremely sensitive to vitality.
Odin has indeed reached the point where he can't even fight.
If it were a human.
It would be equivalent to the end of life, and he couldn't even take care of himself.
"It's true." Shen He was not surprised by this.
After all, it was after the end of the dark elf incident that Loki even successfully confused Odin, sealed his strength and sent him to Earth, and transformed himself into Odin and sat on the throne.
"Is he the god of this world? How strange." Beatrice chattered in the necklace, "Even elves have almost eternal lifespans, and witches are almost immortal. Even if they die, they have a chance to be resurrected. Are the gods of this world still limited by lifespans?"
"Strictly speaking, Asgard is not a god." Shen He shook his head.
He also had doubts in his heart.
Odin's power is unquestionable, but this power has not brought him any help in lifespan, which is obviously not in line with common sense.
If there is a chance, let's draw some blood from Thor.
"Shen He, I'll take you to meet my friends."
Thor didn't know that Shen He was trying to take his blood, but was very enthusiastic to introduce his kingdom to Shen He.
Shen He naturally didn't refuse.
He was also full of curiosity about the state of Asgard.
So, Thor took him and Jane, gathered his group of friends who had been doing things together since childhood, and visited various places in Asgard. As the main guest, Shen He experienced the life in the realm of God.
This place is called the God's Domain, which is not an exaggeration.
Its social form is extremely stable.
Everyone has their own position and job, whether it is a warrior, a blacksmith, a scholar, or a chef. Most of them have decided their own direction since birth, but if they have the ability, they can also rely on themselves to change their lives.
The most important thing is that they have sufficient life plans for their long lives.
The first five hundred years are the time for training and education in school.
Then one thousand years to choose your own career.
Then get married and have children.
Thor is now at this age, so Odin began to worry about his lifelong event.
"Betty, so the root of your four hundred years of pain is that there is nothing to do." Shen He couldn't help but sigh when he heard that some scholars had never stepped out of the research laboratory in their entire lives.
"That's right!" Beatrice was obviously still in shock, "I don't want to be bored anymore!"
"But if that's the case, why has there been no progress for thousands of years?" Shen He had this question again.
So he asked Thor directly.
"If you mean technically..." Thor was a little embarrassed, "We are different from the people on Earth. It often takes thousands of years to learn the technology and knowledge we have already mastered. Moreover, it is very difficult to make breakthroughs in cutting-edge fields..."
Looking at Thor's expression, it was clear that there was something else that was inconvenient to say.
Shen He did not continue to ask.
He had also confirmed that not every Asgardian had power in their bodies. It can be said that most people did not understand magic and did not have magical talent.
Even Thor's friends, all their strengths were acquired through their own training and study for more than a thousand years.
They call themselves gods, but they are also limited by their talents.
Some things that seem very high-sounding are actually just like that after they are truly understood.
Shen He couldn't say that he was disappointed. Just like looking at new things, he happily followed Thor to wander around Asgard. He was just a little unhappy to be fed dog food by this couple every day.
Fortunately, this time didn't last long.
The space interlacing phenomenon of the nine worlds happened today.
The sacrificer who was mixed in with the captives and sent to the dungeon of the palace was the first to attack.
Almost at the same time.
From the border of Asgard, a huge warship emerged.
It didn't pass through the Rainbow Bridge, but jumped a long distance from the universe to Asgard.
"The war has begun, Shen He!"
Thor still hugged his girlfriend. Because he was well prepared, he didn't panic too much.
"Leave Jane to me." Shen He nodded, "Do you need me to call for help?"
"No, I need this invasion to give Asgard enough warning." After leaving Jane behind, Thor swung his hammer and rushed directly into the sky.
Asgard has indeed been lax for too long.
Since Thor spoke, no enemy has ever dared to invade Asgard directly!
But now there is one.
The guards did not have time to react, and the old fleets of Asgard could not even take off. There were only automatic turrets that had not fired for more than a thousand years as obstacles. The enemy fleet flew wantonly in the center of the city.
Straight to the palace!
