Overwatch invades American comics

Chapter 271: Disappearance of Athena (Part )

"Main Quest: Dark World: Final Mission Failed"

"Hidden Mission: You are a Hammer (1/6) Failed"

In the darkness, William vaguely heard Athena's voice. He suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a bed. The style of the bed was medieval Nordic, which gave him a very familiar feeling.

Not only the bed, but also the fireplace, statues, paintings on the wall and crystal chandelier on the ceiling in the room gave him this feeling.

"What is this place?"

William rubbed his head and found that the Overwatch logo on the back of his hand was shining. He immediately remembered Athena's voice just now and said in his heart: "Athena, did I fail my mission?"

Thinking back to the fierce battle between William and the Dark Elf King, Hanzo’s ultimate skill was unable to destroy Malekith, and the power of the Aether particles was completely released.

William watched the blood-red sun crashing towards them. He thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly a brilliant colorful light appeared in the sky and fell from the sky to save them. When he woke up, he was in this place.

"William, since you failed the main mission, the system will punish you..."

William was stunned because Athena's voice changed.

Athena's voice in the past was like that of a gentle little sister, but at this moment her voice was emotionless and cold like a real machine.

He couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Athena.

"What happens if the mission fails? Will there be any punishment?"

"Quests have different requirements depending on the level, and there will be no penalty for failing side quests and hidden quests."

"If you fail the main mission, the system will not kill you. But the Overwatch system will unbind your soul and leave you forever!"

Now thinking back, Athena's tone at the time was like a farewell. Ever since William obtained the Overwatch system, he has been basically successful and has never encountered a mission failure. As time has passed, he is no longer worried that Athena will leave him.

Although Malekith in the movie is a bit of a hottie, the dark elf king in the Marvel world is very scary. Even if Iron Man, Thor and he work together, they cannot defeat this guy.

This also caused William's main mission to fail for the first time. William wanted to call Athena's name, but it was of no use.

In the blink of an eye, the shining Overwatch logo on the back of his hand dimmed. If it weren't for the special image of this logo, William would have thought that everything before was a dream.

"Athena! Athena!"

……

No one paid any attention to William, as if Athena had completely disappeared.

William wanted to call up his personal panel, but there was no way to do it. He felt that he was not feeling well. Did Athena really untie the bond with his soul?
Although he is different from when he first came to the Marvel world, he has mastered many of the abilities of an agent and has much more combat experience, but without the help of the Overwatch system, he would be in great danger here.

At this moment, he was surprised to find that even though Athena disappeared, the two skills he had unlocked before, sprint and grappling hook, did not disappear.

He immediately started sprinting and turned into a gust of wind, running around the room. Well, it was enough for him to escape.

With a whoosh, William raised his arm and the grappling hook shot out, hitting the crystal chandelier in the room. He was immediately pulled up by a force, swung in the air, then landed on the bed and stood firmly on the bed.

Sprint and grappling hook are still usable, which is a kind of consolation.

"William, are you doing acrobatics?" At this moment, Tony, still wearing the iron armor, walked in, but his visor was open. He looked at William standing on the bed and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Ahem." William quickly jumped off the bed, put his arm around Iron Man's shoulders and said, "Nini, where on earth is this place?"

"Go and see for yourself." Tony was still a little dissatisfied with the name Nini, he said with a pout.

William walked out of the room curiously. When he walked to the corridor and looked out of the window, he was stunned.

They were in a huge and magnificent palace. No wonder it looked familiar to him. It turned out to be the palace of Asgard. The sky of Asgard used to be dreamy and misty, with stars everywhere. But now, it was covered by a blood-red sky.

William looked from afar and saw that the buildings around the Asgard had turned black, but because of the protection of the barrier, the Asgard was not invaded by the darkness and was still shining with golden light.

But this barrier cannot last forever. When the barrier collapses, the fairy palace in the divine realm will be swallowed by darkness.

It turned out that the colorful light before was Asgard's Rainbow Bridge. Heimdall used the Rainbow Bridge to rescue them all at the critical moment, otherwise they would have been destroyed long ago.

"William, you're awake." Just as William was exclaiming in amazement, Thor, the God of Thunder, also came over and stood in front of William and Tony.

"Brother Thor, have we failed completely?" William said with a somewhat lost expression.

"No." Thor shook his head and said, "Perhaps we still have a chance of survival. Come with me!"

William and Tony looked at each other. The darkness was already corroding the entire nine kingdoms. It was only a matter of time before the universe returned to darkness. Could it be that the Divine Realm had some good way to resolve this crisis?
Under the leadership of Thor, William and Iron Man came to the depths of the underground of Asgard. In front of them were two guards in golden helmets and armor. They were guarding a bronze gate with an image of a magic spear engraved on it, which was Odin's Eternal Spear.

"Where is this place?" William asked curiously.

"Odin's Treasury." Thor replied in a deep voice: "I am Thor, the god of thunder, son of Odin. I come to the treasury to take treasures at the command of Odin, the father of the gods!"

"Welcome, Your Highness." The two guards said respectfully and opened the door of Odin's treasury.

To be honest, this is William's first time to come to Odin's Treasury. This place is located in the deepest part of Asgard. Odin puts the treasures he finds from all over the world, or the legendary artifacts and spoils of war here.

What came into view was a burning flame in a container that looked like the Holy Grail. William stood in front of the fire. Thor glanced at him and said, "Be careful, don't get burned by the eternal fire!"

Of course William knew what the Eternal Flame was. It was the sacred fire of the fire giant Surtur, which Odin had snatched from the Land of Fire.

Legend has it that by bathing in eternal fire with Surtur's crown, the Fire Giant can transform into an extraordinary form and destroy everything with his sword of doom.

In front of Tony was an ice-blue treasure box, which was the Winter Box that Loki used to freeze New York, a sacred artifact from Jotunheim. Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of the memory of being frozen into ice, and couldn't help shivering.

There are many treasures in Odin's treasury. In addition to the artifacts of ice and fire, William and his companions also saw the Sphere of Egmotor, the Monument of Life, the Warlock's Eye, and so on.

Soon William was attracted by a treasure, which was a huge golden glove inlaid with six gems: purple, blue, red, orange, green and yellow.

It’s the famous Infinity Gauntlet!
William curled his lips, because he knew that the glove was fake. After all, the Reality Stone was still in the hands of the Dark Elf King Malekith. However, he was still curious:
That is, did Odin also collect the Infinity Stones back then?
You know, when Odin conquered the Nine Realms, he was a famous god of death. He once controlled the Cosmic Cube, which is the space gem that possesses the power of space.

The teleportation ability of the Space Stone is stronger than that of the Rainbow Bridge. Perhaps he used the power of the Space Stone to enable the Asgard army to conquer the nine kingdoms.

It was not until later that he hid it on Earth. His father also once obtained the Reality Stone, and Odin might also know about this. From this point of view, Odin is likely to be a collector of Infinity Stones.

Of course, these are all William's guesses. The purpose of their visit this time is not for the Infinity Gauntlet, but for the dark blue cube.

The Cosmic Cube, also known as the Infinity Cube, is a legendary space gem. After Odin hid it in Norway on Earth, it was found by the Red Skull, who planned to use the Cosmic Cube to develop infinite energy and weapons to allow Hydra to dominate the world.

However, his plot was crushed by Captain America, and the Cosmic Cube fell into the Arctic Ocean. It was then found by Tony's father Howard Stark, and SHIELD conducted research on infinite energy, but was targeted by Loki and the Chitauri army.

The Battle of New York breaks out, and Loki uses the Cosmic Cube to attack the Earth. After the Battle of New York, Odin uses the Cosmic Cube to repair the damaged Rainbow Bridge and puts it in Odin's Treasury.

Now is the time to take out this Infinity Stone again.

William walked in front of the Cosmic Cube, and the Cube's faint blue light illuminated his face. The Cosmic Cube seemed to have a strange magic that made him unable to help but put his hand on the Cube.

In an instant, the Cosmic Cube burst into a dazzling blue light, and white lightning suddenly appeared on William's body. The paralyzing feeling of lightning made William unable to move, and he could only watch these blue lights rushing towards the Overwatch logo on the back of his hand.

No, to be precise, it is the Overwatch logo that is absorbing the energy of the Cosmic Cube!
