Chapter 223 Laufey: I Want to Avenge My Humiliation

This must never happen!

King Laufey of the Frost Giants looked gloomy and said in a deep voice, "King Malekith of the Dark Elf, you have convinced me that the Frost Giants will not withdraw from the Alliance."

"So, tell me, what's your next battle plan?"

Malekith grinned when he saw that the Frost Giant King Laufey had been persuaded to abandon his withdrawal plan.

"Odin and the Asgardians can hide in their shells and not come out, so let's force them out."

Frost Giant King Laufey: "How do you force it out?"

Malekith stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one.

"The Vanir gods of Vanaheim, the light elves of Alfheim, and the dwarves of Nidavellir—they are all loyal supporters of Odin."

Laufey, the Frost Giant, speak.

If we conquer these three kingdoms and slaughter the Vanir, the Elves of Light, and the Dwarves, will Odin still be able to sit still?

It's important to know that Odin's greatest pride was conquering the Nine Realms and protecting their peace.

Laufey, the Frost Giant, frowned.

These three great nations are all supporters of Odin, and it is right for them to submit to Asgard's rule.

However, apart from Vanaheim, these three kingdoms may not necessarily oppose their rebellion against Odin.

"It may not be a good thing to involve these three kingdoms, especially the light elves and dwarves."

They were gentle by nature, and their bond with Asgard was not as deep as that of the Vanir gods.

As long as we don't provoke them, they'll likely remain inactive and not take sides.

"Hehehe." Malekith chuckled softly, feigning a low sound.

"Dark Elf King Malekith, what are you laughing at?" asked Laufey, the Frost Giant King, frowning.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy that King Laufey the Frost Giant made a good suggestion."

Otherwise, I would make the wrong decision.

Malekith stopped laughing.

"Lord Laufey the Frost Giant is right. We should not make enemies without cause and involve these three kingdoms."

Okay, let's change our plans.

"Pretend to attack these three kingdoms, send your army on a detour around their territory, and incidentally eliminate the Asgardian garrison stationed there."

King Laufey of the Frost Giants frowned and pondered for a while, but couldn't come up with a better solution.

He then nodded in agreement with Malekith's new battle plan.

The Angel Queen agreed, having been blinded by Malekith's promise to help destroy Asgard.

Of the four great kingdoms, she hated Odin the most.

Under her rule, the paradise was severed from the World Tree by Odin, and its roots were gone.

Seeing this, Malekith's smile widened.

Outsiders simply thought he was happy that the plan had gone smoothly.

Only he himself knew the other purpose hidden beneath his plan.

Leveraging the power of the four-nation alliance, they entered Vanaheim, Alfheim, and Nidavellir in search of the Aether particle.

Malekith still gets a headache when it comes to the Aether particle.

I wonder if the Dark Elves have been asleep for too long, causing their connection with the Aether particles to weaken.

He only sensed the presence of etheric particles for a fleeting moment when celestial bodies intersected.

After that, I couldn't feel it at all.

"Oh right, and Midgard too." Malekith suddenly remembered this mortal kingdom.

"Since we can't push the elves of light and the dwarves toward Odin, let's take the mortals of Midgard down with us."

Midgard?

"I agree!"

A fierce glint flashed in King Law's eyes, and he immediately expressed his agreement.

He remembered the mage who had humiliated him a few years ago. He seemed to be from Midgard, a place called Kamar-Taj.

Although the young mage was quite powerful, his ability to summon ten suns in the sky was even more formidable.

But that's because he lost the Ice Box at that time, and his strength was greatly reduced.

Now that we have reclaimed the Ice Box, it's the perfect time to avenge our previous defeat!

I agree.

The Angel Queen has expressed her support for Malekith.

As long as it doesn't conflict with the goal of destroying Asgard, she wouldn't mind supporting Malekith as the leader of the coalition.

As for Queen Sindre, Malekith, the Frost Giant King Laufey, and the Angel Queen all intentionally or unintentionally ignored her.

After suffering two consecutive defeats, her standing among the group plummeted.

Even though Malekith and the others knew in their hearts that Queen Sind's true combat strength was no less than their own.

But who told her to be so careless?

Malekith: "If there are no objections, let's get started."

We each left a portion of our forces here to continue cutting off Asgard's communication with the outside world, preventing Odin from easily obtaining information from the outside.

The rest of the group went to other countries for a visit, just to make a show of it.

Then, we'll lift the blockade, inform Odin, and force him to come out and fight!

Tony Stark's act of publishing the Avengers' contact information and address in the media has angered S.W.O.R.D.

The Heavenly Sword Bureau believes that all extraordinary forces within the territory of the Ugly Kingdom should be under their command.

The Avengers, a once well-known civilian superpowered organization, openly published their contact information and addresses in the media.

From the perspective of the Heavenly Sword Bureau, it was a veiled recruitment of superpowered individuals.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sky Sword Bureau was swamped with the Rochester bombing and busy dealing with impeachment proceedings by New York State legislators and Rochester City councilors, they would have been completely overwhelmed.

They must teach the Avengers a lesson.

In fact, after Tony Stark publicly revealed the Avengers' contact information...

Indeed, there are many enthusiastic people (hidden superpowered individuals) who are curious (inquiring) whether the Avengers are recruiting new members.

Clearly, this is in contrast to serving the government.

The people of the free Ugly Country think it's cooler to form a superhero team with billionaire and national idol Tony Stark, Iron Man.

However, to the disappointment of these people, the responses he received were all rejections.

Moreover, they were unaware that they had been marked by Ultron and were being secretly watched.

The following day, Sif and the Warriors Three from Asgard arrived at Avengers Tower.

At this moment, outside Avengers Tower, reporters from major media outlets, superpowered individuals hidden among the reporters, and agents from S.O.R.D. were everywhere.

Although they are temporarily unable to target the Avengers, the S.W.A.S. can still manage by sending a few agents to keep watch.

Sif and her group entered Avengers Tower in full view of everyone.

This move instantly ignited the hidden superpowered individuals and reporters.

Immediately, the crowd began to discuss the matter.

"Didn't the Avengers say they weren't recruiting new members? Why did they just go in?"

As far as I remember, none of them were members of the Avengers.

"Yeah, and their clothes are really weird."

Who knows, they might be indigenous people from some African country.

Let's leave aside the discussions outside Avengers Tower for now.

Inside the reception room, Thor and Loki finally met Sif and the others, and learned from Sif what they had learned.

A series of bad news followed, including the attack on Asgard, the destruction of the Rainbow Bridge, the death of Heimdall, and the siege of Asgard.
