I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Daisy, the girl with glasses standing next to her, chimed in with a swooning expression, "Yeah, they're so handsome."

The realm of the gods, the heavenly palace, where Odin slumbers.

Loki, who was comforting his mother, suddenly felt his divine power draining away at an accelerated rate.

He frowned, immediately realizing that the Destroyer and Thor had encountered each other.

To deal with an opponent of Thor's caliber, the Destroyer would indeed need more divine power.

However, after a while, Loki became a little unsettled.

The rate at which the divine power within his body was being consumed had accelerated once again!

The double mana cost meant Loki couldn't hold out for long either.

He comforted his mother, made up an excuse, and left, his face pale.

"What exactly is going on? Could it be...?"

He suddenly remembered the guy who had seen through his disguise several times. The increased rate of divine power consumption was definitely related to that guy named Depp!

But Loki was helpless in the face of this situation.

In order for the subsequent plans to proceed smoothly, he had no choice but to cut off the energy supply to the Destroyer.

After all, he still needed to conserve his divine power to eliminate Laufey, who was going to assassinate Odin later.

In New Mexico, the Destroyer, deprived of divine power, quickly weakened and fell from the sky.

Thor, whose divine power was almost completely exhausted, landed on the ground, panting heavily.

The Destroyer was too powerful; this battle was won rather by a narrow margin.

He looked up at the Iron Man slowly landing and thought that if Depp hadn't come to his aid, he might have already had his neck snapped by the Destroyer.

Depp landed on the ground, his fully charged armor transforming back into the shape of a violin case. He showed no signs of weakness and was even more energetic than before.

Thor said, "Are all the guys from Gotham City this persistent?"

Depp thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to know anything about the kidney health of Bruce, Gordon, and others.

"No, only I can last that long."

After saying that, he put the concentrated essence of life back into the system space.

The battle ended, and the thunderclouds in the sky began to dissipate.

Sif and the other three warriors picked up the pieces of the Destroyer Armor and were the first to return to Asgard.

After seeing his fiancée leave, Thor started to get all lovey-dovey with Jane.

Seeing this, Daisy walked over to Depp. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Depp smile and nod at her before walking towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents behind him.

"Depp, you've truly opened my eyes; you can actually use magic..."

When Coulson saw Depp walking towards him, he immediately flattered him and went to greet him enthusiastically. Then he saw Depp ignore him and shake hands and chat with the bald agent behind him.

Afterwards, Depp selectively shook hands and greeted the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

The agents were also very enthusiastic about this guy who had just shown off his prowess.

Not long after, Nick Fury and his squadron of fighter jets landed slowly, and the black-haired guy stepped out of the plane with great momentum.

“It seems that things have been settled with your help.” Nick handed the box containing vibranium to Depp and said, “Here is the vibranium you wanted, ten kilograms in total. You need to pay me one hundred million dollars.”

Depp took the vibranium and said, "I don't have that much money, so..."

Nick Fury covered his face and said, "Don't tell me you want to buy on credit. To be honest, I've been dealing with this damn tax problem lately, so don't expect me to agree to let you buy on credit."

"On credit?" Depp shook his head and said, "I'm not going to give you any money."

Before Nick Fury could swear, Depp covered his mouth with his finger and said, "However, I have intelligence that is far more valuable than a hundred million dollars."

Nick Fury chuckled and said, "I'd like to hear what kind of intelligence is worth a hundred million dollars."

Depp leaned close to Nick Fury's ear and whispered, "Like... Hydra?"

“I’ve already spoken to my Hydra comrades beforehand. You can ask Agent Coulson for details.”

After saying that, Depp carried a box of vibranium to Thor and Jane.

"Hey, stop wrapping yourself up, it's time to get back to Asgard!"

Upon hearing Depp's words, Thor and Jane reluctantly ended their passionate kiss.

Thor said to Jane, "Wait for me, I will definitely come back, for you!"

After saying that, he turned to Depp and asked, "Do you want to come back with me too?"

Depp nodded. He felt it was necessary to go to Asgard with Thor. The feud between Loki and Thor, and the subsequent plot of Loki's attack on Earth, were not insurmountable.

Seeing Depp nod, Thor grabbed Depp's shoulder and called upon Heimdall to open the Rainbow Bridge.

Before leaving, Depp glanced at the group of people not far away one last time.

Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Main ability: shrewd and calculating.

Daisy Louise

Main competence: Astrophysics.

Hydra Agents in Sitwell

Main abilities: Defection and stealth

After Depp and Thor left,

Nick Fury's expression instantly turned serious, his eyes fixed on the "S.H.I.E.L.D. agents" in front of him.

Chapter 86 Loki Cries

After Depp and Thor went to Asgard, Nick Fury called Coulson over and gave him a brief explanation, which Coulson immediately understood.

As a top agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., attention to detail is crucial, and he immediately sent the list of agents who had just shaken hands with Depp to Nick Fury.

In the days that followed, they would investigate each of these guys one by one, slowly uncovering their backgrounds.

After all, this intelligence was bought for a hundred million dollars, which is ridiculously expensive.

If it turns out that Depp fabricated the story, Nick Fury said he would definitely get the money back.

The realm of Aesir, the place where Odin sleeps.

Laufey, the king of the frost giants, conjured an ice blade in his hand, preparing to stab Odin, who lay on his bed, to death.

At the crucial moment, Loki took Odin's scepter, the Spear of Eternity, and pointed the tip at his own father, Laufey.

The tip of the gun flashed with golden light, and Laufey was knocked to the ground by Loki.

The power of the Eternal Spear rendered Laufey unable to stand up for a moment.

Laufey stared at her son in shock, then closed her eyes with a complicated expression.

He knew he was being used by Loki.

Loki's release and help were merely a ploy to gain favor with Odin and add the final step to his path to becoming the King of Asgard.

However, upon thinking of this, Laufey actually smiled.

Even though he was about to be killed by his own son, if his son could become the god-king of Asgard, it wouldn't be a loss.

Loki, son of Laufey, the frost giant, is about to become the ruler of Asgard...

Do not!

To become the King of the Nine Realms!

"Do it, my son."

Laufey said with relief.

Seeing Laufey's smile, Loki's hand holding the Spear of Eternity trembled slightly.

At the final moment of this plan, he actually hesitated for a moment.

After all, Laufey is his biological father.

However, driven by his intense desire for the throne and his wish to prove himself to his parents who had raised him for so many years, Loki still made a move against Laufey.

With a flash of divine light from the Eternal Spear, Laufey was instantly reduced to ashes.

Meanwhile, Thor and the others also arrived at the scene.

After the group exposed Loki's plot, Loki ignored them and rushed straight to the Rainbow Bridge, attempting to destroy the entire Jotunheim.

Upon seeing this, Thor immediately gave chase.

Depp did not follow Thor to the Rainbow Bridge. He looked at the small pile of black ash on the ground that shimmered with gold, lost in thought.

Some people are obsessed with missing their deceased parents, yet they cannot have them.

Some people, however, turned their own fathers to ashes for the sake of royal power.

Tsk tsk tsk, the joys and sorrows of orphans are not all the same.

Then, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, he carefully collected the shimmering black ash that Laufey had transformed into and placed it, in small amounts, into the storage space on the arm of his armor.

This thing is something left behind after the death of the Frost Giant King, so it must be of some use. We can't just let it go to waste.

Odin, who was lying in bed, was not fully awake, but he was aware of the whole process.

He wondered where this ragpicker came from, and why Thor always made such shady friends.

On the other side, on the Rainbow Bridge, Loki, who had activated the power of the Rainbow Bridge in an attempt to destroy Jotunheim, was locked in battle with Thor, who had arrived at the scene.

Unlike the forced hand-to-hand combat in the movies, Loki truly deserves his title as the future greatest sorcerer of the Nine Realms.

Various illusions and spells were thrown at Thor as if they were free, and Thor continued his usual fighting style... a lightning melee mage.

Although Loki's magic is very cool, it is clear that he is no match for Thor.

However, although Thor defeated Loki, the energy output of the Bifrost to Jotunheim was not interrupted.

If this continues, the entirety of Jotunheim will be destroyed by the energy surge of the Rainbow Bridge.
