The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 455 Follow-up
"What's next?"

Thor exuded a fierce aura, and the Stormbreaker trembled slightly in his hand, as if he was also preparing for the coming revenge.

His eyes were like torches, sweeping over Etri and Weiss in turn, the flame of revenge burning in his eyes.

Can't wait to get revenge on Thanos.

"Of course it's revenge on Thanos. Etri, you come to Earth with me first."

Ai Cui stood there quietly, tall but looking extremely lonely.

He shook his head slowly, his eyes empty and deep.

His voice became hoarse and low due to excessive grief: "I want to bury the dead for my people."

The once bustling Nidavellir is now dead silent. The lives of the entire dwarf race came to an abrupt end in that brutal massacre, and now he is the only last survivor left.

Those tribesmen who once sweated together by the furnace, discussed forging skills together, laughed and played together, have now turned into cold corpses. How could he bear to let them be exposed in the wilderness and let their souls rest in peace.

"sorry."

Thor's heart suddenly tightened.

It was not until this moment that he truly realized how lucky he was.

Although Asgard's home has been reduced to ruins and the palace that carries countless glory and memories no longer exists, the people of Asgard are still alive, they are still a united whole, and there is hope of rebuilding their home.

But Ai Cui has to face the cruel reality of genocide alone. The laughter and lively life of the past have become a distant past. Now he is the only one left alone. No one can empathize with this loneliness and despair.

So, Thor, Weiss and Loki looked at each other and decided to help tacitly.

They moved among the piles of corpses.

However, the number of corpses before them was simply too great. Even if the three of them gave their all and worked tirelessly, it would be difficult to complete this arduous task in such a short period of time.

Weiss formed seals with his hands and soared into the sky with a dazzling light.

After the light faded, Seraph, Black Dwarf and his people also appeared.

More than 10,000 people gathered here, and the originally quiet Nidavellir suddenly became busy.

Everyone has a clear division of labor: some are responsible for carrying the body, some are responsible for cleaning the venue, and some are responsible for preparing the items needed for the funeral.

For the entire day, I walked on blood without stopping for a moment.

In the end, Aitri buried his tribesmen one by one according to the ancient customs passed down by Nidavellir.

When the last handful of soil was sprinkled, Ai Cui seemed to have used up all his strength. His legs softened and he fell to his knees on the ground.

His shoulders were shaking violently, and tears as big as beans burst out of his eyes like a flood, sliding down his weathered and bloodstained cheeks and dripping onto the ground beneath his feet.

"I'm the only one left, I'm the only one left"

He kept muttering to himself.

Black Dwarf looked at Ai Cui silently, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

He couldn't help but think of the fate of himself and his people. If he hadn't turned to Weiss in desperation, perhaps they would have been ruthlessly exterminated under Thanos's iron hoof like the dwarves.

The relief of surviving the disaster and the sympathy for Ai Cui's experience made him feel extremely heavy.

With such complicated feelings, he slowly walked forward and gently patted Ai Cui's arm, trying to give him some comfort and strength in this silent way.

Thor gripped the axe handle tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand, his knuckles white from the strain. His gaze, piercing the boundless universe, revealed an unparalleled determination and resolve, staring directly into Thanos's grim face: "I will use this to chop off Thanos' head."

However, in the vast universe, with endless bounds and twinkling stars, where is Thanos hiding?
In fact, they don't need to actively search for it like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Because Thanos' crazy and persistent goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones to realize his twisted plan of "balancing the universe."

Currently, the three powerful gems of Reality, Mind, and Power are in Weiss's hands;

The Time Stone is guarded by the new Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange;
The Space Stone was sent to the Cosmic Collector by Odin, the great God-King of Asgard;

As for the Soul Gem, legend has it that it is hidden on the mysterious and dangerous planet Vormir.

Therefore, Weiss and the others just need to wait silently. In order to complete his crazy plan and get the coveted Infinity Stones, Thanos will definitely come to them.

Wes was very interested in Atri, a big man with extraordinary skills.

The amazing ability that Ai Cui has demonstrated in the field of forging is unparalleled in the universe.

Weiss wanted to win him over to his side.

After the busy funeral, Wes found Atri and expressed his thoughts to him sincerely, his words full of expectation and sincerity.

Unfortunately, Ai Cui declined.

He decided to stay in Nidavellir.

Here are the memories of his people, the home they built together, and the melting pot that symbolizes the wisdom and strength of the dwarves.

"I must guard Nidavellir, the dwarven forge, to prevent it from burning out again. This is my duty, and my final promise to my people."

His voice was soft but full of determination.

Weiss understood Atri's decision and didn't force it.

Everyone has his or her own persistence and mission. Ai Cui's deep affection for his homeland and people makes everyone deeply admire him.

Thor, Weiss and Loki bid farewell to Etri and set out on their journey back to Earth.

However, they never expected that as soon as they returned to Earth, before they had time to catch their breath, Stephen Strange came to them.

"You are here to drive us out."

Thor has experienced countless hardships and life-and-death tests and is no longer the reckless man who only knew how to swing his hammer and rush around.

Now he has a deeper understanding of the rules of the universe and the entanglements of various forces. Naturally, he also understands the responsibilities of the Supreme Sorcerer - to protect the earth and resist all threats from the outside world. As outsiders, the Asgardians may be regarded as potential destabilizing factors.

"No, the previous Sorcerer Supreme and Odin had an agreement that the Asgardians who lost their homeland could settle on Earth."

Stephen Strange shook his head, his robe fluttering in the wind, and his whole body exuded an otherworldly temperament.

"Then what are you here for?"

Stephen slowly said a name: "Thanos."

Just this one name seemed to carry endless weight, and the atmosphere froze instantly.

This name is well-known to everyone present.

"We need to have a good talk," Stephen spread his hands. "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
