But at the critical moment of Nova's crisis, the Shia Empire, which had only been secretly supporting Nova to contain the Kree, intervened directly.

Moreover, the young Emperor Deken personally led the fleet from the moment it was deployed!

They also had a brief encounter with the Kree fleet.

The final outcome is unknown, but not long afterward the Kree army began to retreat. Although they still occupied a large area of ​​the former Nova Empire, they showed no intention of advancing further.

It's clear they're knowing when to stop.

Seeing this, other civilizations in the vicinity that had originally wanted to take advantage of the situation immediately dared not make any further moves.

Clearly, the fact that the Kree withdrew so easily indicates either that the Shi'ar side demonstrated overwhelming strength or that an agreement was reached between the two sides.

Regardless of the situation, it demonstrates that Shia is not someone to be trifled with.

According to information received from Dracula's side, a star system has disappeared in the border region between the Kree and the remaining Nova Empire forces.

If this news is true, then the information it contains is very serious.

The Shi'ar Empire likely possesses the power to destroy star systems.

When Josie heard the news, she was also extremely shocked.

Destroying a star system? This level of combat power... I'm sure this is the MCU and not some comic book universe!

Wasn't the Shi'ar supposed to be a peace-loving civilization? This is definitely a nuclear peace advocate, isn't it?

And the Imperial Emperor Deken?

Josie's knowledge of Marvel comics in his previous life was not comprehensive, and he knew very little about the Shi'ar. However, if he remembered correctly, the emperor of the Shi'ar was an empress named Lilandra or something like that.

I've never heard of this Deken.

Perhaps it's because of the timeline.

However, judging from the strength displayed by the opponent, even if Josie now possesses the Infinity Stones, he cannot become too arrogant. Destroying the combat power of an entire star system in one go is something neither his personal strength nor his military strength can accomplish.

He couldn't even truly destroy a planet—the destruction of Xandar was largely a trick, using the power of the Power Stone to wipe out all life on the planet and turn it into a no-life zone; it didn't actually cause much damage to the planet itself.

Fortunately, according to the information Josie obtained, after driving back all the forces that were hostile to the Nova Empire, including the Kree, the Shi'ar side did not take any other actions other than helping the remaining Nova Empire forces to consolidate their power and re-establish a new government.

However, just in case, he still had Loki arrange for some Vrykul who had just awakened and had been implanted with psychological suggestion to be sent to Jotunheim to seek refuge with Laufey.

The Vrykul sent to Jotunheim have no memory of Josie or his faction, so even if they are tracked down later, Josie's identity will not be exposed.

However, due to the influence of psychological suggestion, in addition to confirming that Rauf is related to the "King of Destruction" who destroyed Xandar, these Vrykul will also turn against him when necessary, becoming the key to Jossi's control of Jotunheim.

Although Jotunheim is not very valuable due to its cold and barren environment, the Frost Giants are still quite suitable as cannon fodder.

After reporting the mission progress to Josie, Loki disappeared and returned to the banquet hall. He couldn't stay away for too long, or Thor and the others would become suspicious.

Josie returned to the banquet hall a while after Loki left.

………………

Time quickly came to the next day.

Josie was resting with his wife in his arms—the couple now had almost no need for sleep.

However, most of the time they still maintain a relatively normal routine, and if they can't sleep, they just doze off.

Just as dawn was breaking, they heard the sounds of fighting.

The fighting took place far away, but it didn't make much difference to them.

"What's going on?" Margot frowned slightly. Her strength was far inferior to Josie's, so she could only hear the sounds of fighting but could not distinguish the two sides fighting.

But he was definitely angry. His daughter had just ascended the throne, and someone was already causing trouble at Schönbrunn Palace so early in the morning? This was unacceptable.

"Don't worry, it's not a problem, Carter and Sif are just sparring!" After listening for a moment, Josie understood what was going on.

However, it was Carter, who had gotten up early to exercise, who happened to run into Sif.

However, whether they were itching to fight or something else, the two of them went to the square to spar.

"Shall we go take a look?" Margot asked.

"No need, nothing serious will happen!" Josie shook her head and said.

However, Josie had oversimplified the matter a little.

Before long, the square became even more lively.

However, Sif and Carter's sparring match also alerted Thor and his group.

Carter is still very strong, and with the added boost from her equipment, her battle with Sif is extremely close and evenly matched.

Thor and the Warriors Three are all known for their bravery and fighting spirit. They discovered yesterday that there were many extraordinary beings in the Austrian Royal Palace. Seeing Carter's formidable strength early this morning, they were immediately eager to challenge him and expressed their desire to have a "friendly match" with the warriors of the Cain Royal Family.

Among the palace guards, there were quite a few newly graduated Jedi Knights. Because they were all young, they were also more prone to getting carried away.

Upon seeing Thor and his party "challenge" them, even though they knew Thor and his companions were honored guests and legendary "gods," their competitive spirit was still aroused.

Several Jedi warriors on rest immediately accepted the challenge—although the Ouroboros organization has extremely strict discipline, internal challenges and sparring are permitted to maintain competitiveness as long as there are no missions to perform.

Initially, Asgard only fielded the Warriors Three.

While the Warriors Three were not weak, they were not outrageously strong. Although they could win in one-on-one fights, they were not completely overwhelming. Their back-and-forth battles were quite exciting. After all, it was just a friendly spar, not a fight to the death, so the Jedi warriors were not wearing vibranium equipment.

But if they lose everything, it won't look good for the Austrian royal family either.

And so, several warriors who had also returned to Austria yesterday because of Carol's coronation ceremony, including Vito, three of whom had been infused with the power of those four unfortunate dimensional demons, made their move.

Of the three warriors of divine power, Vito and another warrior of divine power were the only two among those who received divine power infusion to receive the power of three demon gods, while the remaining one was Bresta, who fully bore the power of four gods.

The three warriors might be able to handle ordinary warriors with superhuman strength, but clearly, the power of these three is a bit excessive.

And so, naturally, they lost.

But seeing his three friends fail, Thor, who had only intended to watch from the sidelines, decided to change his mind.

We can't let Asgard down!

Moreover, he himself had become very interested in these formidable warriors.

So he personally challenged Vito and his two companions, taking on all three of them single-handedly.

The result was obvious: the three powerful warriors were strong, but they were not on the same level as Thor, the Asgardian prince who possessed the power of a god-king—even though Thor was far from awakening his powers yet.

Even the strongest Bravestard only managed to exchange a few dozen blows with Thor.

Of course, a large part of this is due to Thor's Mjolnir.

But you can't say Thor cheated. In his words, the hammer and he are one. Making him put down the hammer is no different from making him surrender!

So when Josie arrived at the square, she saw Thor holding his hammer high, swaggering around and laughing wildly as he invited the others to continue the challenge.

This attitude caused some dissatisfaction among the Austrian royal family.

But considering the other party was a "god" and a distinguished guest, I didn't pay much attention.

Upon seeing this scene, Josie, who had just arrived with Margot, couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in her heart.

"What? You want to try?" Sensing the unusual behavior of her bedmate, Margot also noticed his thoughts.

“Yes, to be honest, since receiving Tiamat’s blessing, I haven’t met a truly worthy opponent!” Josie nodded, not hiding her thoughts.

“Mr. Kahn, would you like to come down and try?” Just then, Thor also saw Josie and suddenly couldn’t quite process what was happening, so he called out.

His words completely silenced the once bustling square.

The warriors of the Ouroboros around them, whose gazes had initially been friendly, began to turn hostile.

After all, Josie was their lord. It was one thing for Thor to challenge them, the warriors, but to challenge Josie was undeniably provocative.

The Warriors Three and Sif, who were chatting enthusiastically with the guards they had just fought, couldn't help but feel a little awkward.

Loki, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, immediately covered his face.

Knowing Josie's background, he clearly didn't think the same way as the others.

While others thought Thor's challenge was unreasonable, Loki knew that Thor had picked on the weak and ended up picking the Spear of Eternity!

Actually, as soon as Thor said it, he realized the inappropriateness of his words, but with his pride, he certainly couldn't admit his mistake. So he immediately laughed it off and said, "Haha, it's okay, we can change it to something else, like an arm wrestling match or something!"

“It’s alright, I also want to see the strength of the Thor who is famous throughout the Nine Realms!” However, to everyone’s surprise, Josie simply smiled and accepted the challenge.

Now it was Thor's group's turn to be astonished, except for Loki.

Because in their eyes, compared to those mighty warriors and Jedi, Josie's physique looked rather thin, not like someone with great strength.

However, Josie did not explain, but instead directly mobilized her power.

Immediately, a powerful divine force surged forth, and a magnificent golden armor appeared on his body, along with a golden cloak similar in style to Thor's. At the same time, the Broken Steel Sword appeared in his hand.

The reason it is called the Broken Steel Sword, rather than the Ea, is because the Ea has a Power Gem embedded in it and is not suitable for display.

Moreover, the Power Stone is too powerful. He is only preparing to spar with Thor, not to fight to the death. It would be bad if Thor got hurt.

A broken steel sword would be just right.

Josie's outfit change immediately stunned most of the people present.

Because of this, Josie has never shown this side of herself to anyone except a few very close friends. Even most of the Ouroboros members have never seen Josie in this state.

Thor and his companions had no idea that Josie, who was merely the "King's Father," was actually a god.

Yes, the real God.
