I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 432 Another Way to Replenish Vitality

Oh.

You know nothing.

Ignoring Tony's yellow-tinged brain, Erin looked up at the now-vanished wormhole in the sky and said solemnly:

Instead of wasting time worrying about those things, you'd be better off thinking about how we're going to get back later.

Tony Stark was taken aback by this, then asked, somewhat puzzled:

"How do we get back?"

"The wormhole may have disappeared, but that doesn't mean we can't go back, right?"

"I remember that protagonist from 'Breaking News,' didn't he often appear on Earth through that rainbow beam of light?"

"Why don't we just have them send us straight back to Earth this time?"

Upon hearing this, Erin pointed to the remnants of bridge piers on the sea not far away and said, "Unfortunately, the Rainbow Bridge you mentioned was destroyed in the battle just now, leaving only these ruins."

"And as far as I know, apart from the Rainbow Bridge, Asgard currently has no other spatial teleportation devices."

Upon hearing this, Tony's eyes widened. "What do you mean? Don't tell me we have to wait for them to rebuild the Rainbow Bridge if we want to go back?"

"Of course not. Rather than pinning my hopes on some unreliable person, I prefer to solve all of this myself."

"While we can't rule out that Asgard may have other means of interstellar teleportation, I think we'd better prepare as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Erin let out a soft sigh.

This is truly unbelievable.

Malekith, who was just a minor character in the movie, is actually incredibly powerful in real life.

Even without the Reality Stone, that level of power is probably not much different from Odin and Hela.

Should I say that he truly deserves to be called the Dark Elf King, who once rivaled Odin's father, Bohr, and even nearly dragged the entire Nine Realms into darkness?

I wonder how much Malekith was weakened in the movie so that he was suppressed by Thor.

But thinking about these things now is not very useful.

The Rainbow Bridge has now been completely destroyed in the battle against the Dark Elves. Even the remnants of those energy crystals were activated by Odin, who then teleported Malekith into the vast starry sky to detonate them.

In this situation, not only Tony Stark, but he himself also needs to figure out how to return to Earth.

·······

A month later.

Dusk Tavern.

In the dimly lit tavern, sturdy square tables were casually placed in various corners.

Meanwhile, most of the drunks in the tavern were excitedly gathered around the specially cleared area in the center of the tavern, cups in hand.

Watching two muscular men, shirtless, fighting in the open space.

The surrounding crowd, like sharks smelling blood, shouted "Kill him!" and "Kill this son of a bitch!" while excitedly pulling out gold coins from their pockets and placing bets on an empty table next to them.

Gladiator

This is an indispensable form of entertainment in most taverns in Asgard, and the stacks of gold coins piled high on the gambling tables next to them further entice the drunkards to place their bets.

Erin seemed quite interested in this kind of competition, which resembled ancient gladiatorial combat.

During his month in Asgard, Arryn would occasionally stroll into the tavern to watch a few gladiatorial matches.

Time is the best healer.

In just one month, it seemed as if the traces of the previous great battle had been erased, making people forget the pain caused by that battle.

Aside from the families who lost loved ones in the battle, Asgard seemed to have returned to its former prosperity.

Even the taverns, which had been quiet for a while, became noisy again.

The celestial palace, which had been destroyed in the war, was being rebuilt at an incredible speed under that magical power.

"Crunch..."

Listening to the noise coming from inside the tavern.

Arryn, now dressed in typical Asgardian attire, pushed open the tavern door.

As soon as Erin entered the tavern, he spotted Thor sitting alone in a corner, drowning his sorrows.

After turning away from the scene, Erin, who was not surprised at all by Thor's presence, first went to the bar and ordered a glass of Golden Wheat beer with a strong aroma of alcohol before walking towards the small square table in the corner.

After pulling out the chair opposite Thor and sitting down, Arlin took a sip of his richly aromatic Golden Wheat beer before asking Thor, "Mind sharing a drink?"

"Of course not."

Upon hearing Erin's voice, Thor looked up, said something, and then picked up his glass and clinked it against Erin's.

"Ton ton ton!"

next second.

The glass, filled with a liter of beer, was emptied in an instant by Thor's guzzling.

"Another one, please."

After calling out to the bartender while holding up his empty glass, Thor noticed that Erin's glass was almost empty and immediately said:

"Hey buddy, you don't raise fish in Asgard. Here, after a toast, a man's glass can't be left empty. Of course, if you admit you're not a man, then disregard what I said."

"Is there such a rule?"

Looking at Thor's confident expression, Erin shook his head slightly, and without further ado, tilted his head back and poured the fragrant wine from the glass down his throat.

After seeing Erin finish his large glass in one gulp, Thor had the bartender, who had just walked up to them, refill Erin's glass before asking, "What are you doing here?"

After wiping the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, Erin said, "I came out for a stroll and also gave you a message."

"Could you pass on a message to me?"

Thor downed another large beer and asked, "Was it my mother, or my father... His Majesty who sought me out?"

Hehe.

Now that they know the current Odin is played by "Loki," do they all start calling Odin "Your Majesty"?

What a pitiful child.

For the safety of Asgard, and to prevent news of Odin's death from spreading.

During this time, Thor not only couldn't show the slightest sadness, but had to pretend that he had won another victory.

In addition, there's Loki, who uses Odin's identity to cause trouble for Thor from time to time.

This is not surprising, given why Thor has been frequently drinking in these taverns lately.

······

After shaking his head slightly, Erin said, "No, I was just passing on a message from Jane. I ran into Jane when I came out, and she seemed to have something to say to you. She asked me to call you back as soon as I saw you."

Is it simple?

When Thor heard his girlfriend calling him, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

But he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Erin with a serious expression and asked, "By the way, you didn't tell Jane about her health condition, did you?"

"Don't worry, why would I tell her something like that?"

Thor breathed a slight sigh of relief after hearing Erin's reply.

After that great battle, Thor had Asgardian healers examine Jane's body.

Ok.

The result was terrible.

Although Malekith extracted the Reality Stone from Jane's body, the life force that the Reality Stone had extracted from Jane's body was also gone forever.

Don't be fooled by Jane's current appearance; she seems to be doing fine.

In reality, Jane's body had already been ravaged by the Reality Stone.

The significant loss of vitality not only reduced Jane's resistance to various diseases and viruses to an abnormally low level.

This level of resistance made it completely unsurprising for Erin that Jane had cancer in the original story.

According to the estimates of those therapists in Asgard.

Jane, whose life force was largely consumed by the Reality Stone, will only have a lifespan of a dozen years or so at most, even if she is healthy and free from illness.

Of course, if Jane were to get cancer or something like in the original story, she wouldn't have many years left to live.

Upon learning of this devastating news, Thor immediately went to Furka, the Queen of the Gods, and begged his mother to grant him the sap of the World Tree.

But the last bottle of World Tree sap that Queen Fricka had on her body had already been fed to the severely injured Thor.

Where can she find a second bottle of World Tree sap now?

Fortunately, although she didn't have the World Tree sap, a precious substance with strong life force, Queen Frieza eventually found a "Frostmoon Fruit" from Asgard's treasury and personally crafted it into a potion.

After drinking the potion personally concocted by the Queen of Heaven, Jane's health showed a significant improvement.

Although not fully recovered, his body is no longer as weak as it was when the Reality Stone was first removed.

Even his remaining lifespan was restored by the medicine, returning him to over twenty years.

Thor was naturally dissatisfied with this result.

Compared to Thor's lifespan of five thousand years, let alone twenty years, even a hundred years of Thor's lifespan would seem pitifully short.

To save his girlfriend.

After learning that even the goddess Fricka didn't have a good solution, Thor turned to Erin for help.

However, Erin didn't have any good solutions.

The Angel's Scepter can quickly heal a person's wounds, but if the person is near death, it is not advisable to act rashly.

Because of the use of [Holy Light Healing], let alone replenishing their life force, it would be good enough if their life force wasn't drained away in order to heal their injuries.

Seeing that Erin was also unable to help, Thor was disappointed, but he did not give up.

They immediately went to find other treatments that could help with Jane's condition.

Even recently, Thor used Asgardian communication equipment to contact the King of the Light in Alfheim, seeking his help.

·······

Thanks.

After thanking him, Thor was about to turn and leave.

Erin suddenly spoke up: "Oh, right, I just remembered something. Although I can't restore Jane's life force right now and let her live longer, it's not impossible if I can return to Earth."

Thor, who was about to leave, turned around and looked at Arryn immediately after hearing this.

"What do you mean?"

"You mean there's a way on Earth to replenish Jane's life force?"

I'm not sure.

Upon hearing this, Erin first shook his head, and then said, "Not long ago, Dr. Banner discovered a special plant called 'Blood Orchid' deep in the Amazon."

"Research shows that this blood orchid contains a special growth factor that can significantly improve cell activity and even promote cell division, thus helping people maintain their youth."

"Although this is just an exaggeration, it is true that the blood orchid has extraordinary and miraculous effects."

"If we can extract enough growth factors from the Blood Orchid, I'm confident that even if we can't make up for Jane's physical deficiencies, we can at least extend her life by a few years."

Upon hearing Erin's description of the Blood Orchid, a glint of light flashed in Thor's eyes.

There are such treasures on Earth!

After taking a deep breath, Thor asked Erin, "Are there many of these Blood Orchids?"

Erin: "Dr. Banner and the Federation military discovered a lot of Blood Orchids in a valley, but the Blood Orchids were guarded by a lot of terrifying giant snakes. Although there were a lot of Blood Orchids, it was not easy to get them."

"A giant snake?"

When Thor heard that the blood orchid was guarded by giant snakes and was not so easy to pick, he was not disappointed at all. Instead, he had more confidence in the blood orchid that Arryn had mentioned.

Rare and precious materials are often guarded by exotic beasts.

This principle also applies in Asgard.

If the blood orchid is truly as miraculous as Erin described, then the existence of these strange beasts actually adds to its realism.

Thinking of this, Thor picked up Mjolnir, which was on the table, and said to Arryn, "I'm best at dealing with these behemoths. If those Blood Orchids are really as magical as you say, I guarantee I'll get you a whole bunch of them."

Seeing this, Erin shook his head: "Don't be too confident. If those giant snakes were easy to deal with, our Miracle Group would have already obtained enough Blood Orchids to start research."

"You know, even Dr. Banner in his transformed state almost couldn't get out of that valley."

After saying that, Erin added quietly, "Moreover, the Blood Orchid was first discovered by the Federation military. It's been more than a month since I came to Asgard. Who knows what the situation is like in that valley that produces so many Blood Orchids now?"

"Not to mention, we haven't even found a way to return to Earth yet."

Arlin's words caused Thor's eyes to dim slightly.

Yes!

Even if that blood orchid were truly useful to Jane, he couldn't do anything about it now that he was trapped in Asgard.

The destruction of the Rainbow Bridge not only trapped Arryn and his companions in this magical realm of the gods, but also severed Asgard's connection to the outside world.

under these circumstances.

It's unclear when Erin and his group will be able to return to Earth.

Not to mention, the search for that magical blood orchid.

Who knows if the so-called Blood Orchid will still be in that valley when they return to Earth?
