I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

In desperation, Thor raised Mjolnir, and with tears in his eyes, filled with remorse for Jane, he shattered the Rainbow Bridge.

During his time on Earth, Thor learned the preciousness of life and did not want to see Jotunheim devastated.

But without the Rainbow Bridge, he won't be able to return to Earth anytime soon.

After the Rainbow Bridge shattered, the immense energy knocked everyone to the ground.

Thor and Loki, who were at the center of the explosion, fell directly into the abyss of space.

At the critical moment, Odin finally appeared and grabbed Thor's hand.

Thor immediately grabbed Loki's hand from beneath him.

Just like in the movie, Loki gave up the chance to return to Asgard, let go of Thor's hand, and fell into the abyss.

Just then, a change occurred.

Wearing his armor, Depp, like a phantom of orchid, caught the falling Princess Loki in his arms and flew back onto the broken Rainbow Bridge.

"It's okay for a child to throw a tantrum with their family, but jumping off a building is going too far."

Depp said to Loki, who looked completely bewildered.

"You despicable outsider!"

Loki tried to get up and fight back, but Thor smashed his hammer into his head.

The blow made Loki see stars, his body crackled with electricity, and he couldn't muster any strength.

Odin said, "Thank you, stranger, you saved my son."

Depp handed Loki to Odin and said, "I think you should be more honest with Loki."

"Frankness...what do you mean?" Odin asked.

Depp slung the armor case over his shoulder, picked up the box containing vibranium, and said, "I don't think you should hide Loki's true identity, and you have indeed been more biased towards Thor since you were a child."

Odin's expression changed drastically upon hearing this. He didn't know how Depp knew these things, but he still said, "I don't know how to tell him these things, and Frigga's preference for Loki has led Loki to learn more magic."

Frigga is Odin's legal wife and the mother of Thor and Loki in the movies.

Depp sighed; Odin clearly hadn't realized his mistake.

"No matter what, it is the parents' fault to favor one child over another."

"Loki did all this just to get your praise."

He even killed his own father for this...

"Also, Loki, like Thor, was born to be king."

"It's just that one is the king of Asgard and the other is the king of Jotunheim."

"I think your original intention in adopting Loki was to resolve the hatred between the two sides and make them friendly for generations to come."

Depp pointed to the broken Rainbow Bridge and said:

"But this long-standing bias almost led Loki to destroy his own kingdom. Do you really think you bear no responsibility whatsoever?"

Odin remained silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally looked at Loki, who had already stood up.

“My son… I was wrong. But whether it’s Thor or you, I’ve always been proud of you.”

"Furthermore, the magical talent you have shown since childhood makes both Frigga and me believe that you will become the strongest mage in the Nine Realms."

"I'm just... just... not good at expressing myself."

Upon hearing Odin's apology and praise,

Loki's eyes welled up with tears, which he couldn't stop flowing. Although he remained silent, it seemed that the knot in his heart had been untied.

"The host has been detected to have altered the trajectory of Loki and Odinson's fate. Loki will reconcile with Odin and Thor ahead of schedule, and the host will receive a reward for saving the story characters."

"Received a reward for saving a story character: 5 Fragments of the Mirror of Introduction".

Chapter 87 Strange Liquid

Depp never expected to receive a reward for altering the character's storyline.

However, it's likely because Depp only brought Loki back to the right path ahead of time, rather than completely changing Loki's fate, that he only received five fragments of the Mirror of Introduction and no other rewards.

But this unexpected joy was enough to make Depp happy. With these five fragments of the Mirror of Introduction, five more fragments would be needed to upgrade the Mirror of Introduction to level three.

However, Depp wasn't worried about the five pieces, because he had already laid the groundwork and estimated that he would be able to collect them all soon after returning to Gotham.

Odin said to Loki, "My child, don't worry about your bloodline. You will always be my son."

Loki wiped away his tears and said, "Don't worry, Father, I will not disgrace the name of Odin's son."

He turned to look at the broken Rainbow Bridge and said, "I will gather the materials to repair the Rainbow Bridge and work hard to rebuild Jotunheim."

Odin nodded with satisfaction. In any case, with Depp's help, Loki and Thor were on the right track.

He believed that in the near future, Asgard and Jotunheim would be ruled by the two brothers, and the Nine Realms would enjoy lasting peace, with no more wars.

Thor said apologetically, "Depp, the Rainbow Bridge can't be repaired anytime soon, so you might not be able to go home for a while."

The Rainbow Bridge is the passage connecting the nine realms. When the Rainbow Bridge is destroyed, Asgard loses its way to the other eight realms. Therefore, Depp cannot go to Earth or other realms of the gods until the Rainbow Bridge is repaired.

Depp didn't seem to care too much, since he would automatically return to the Gotham sewers once his travel time was up.

The next time I come here, I can still choose where I appear.

Previously, when using Marvel's time travel feature, Depp could only choose locations on Earth to land.

However, after returning this time, Depp felt that if he were to use travel time again, he might choose to land in Asgard.

After all, I've already been here before, so I've essentially unlocked the teleportation coordinates for the new map.

Looking at the travel schedule, with two days left, Depp said nonchalantly, "That's not a problem. Why don't you take me to experience the scenery and food of Asgard these two days?"

Thor smiled and said, "I'd be delighted."

Over the next two days, Depp received the highest level of hospitality from Odin and Thor.

As for Loki, he has been searching everywhere for materials to repair the Rainbow Bridge.

Loki, the ruthless man who killed his father, has evolved into a bricklayer of the road and bridge system after this heart-to-heart talk with his father.

Two days later, Depp said to Thor, who was standing next to him, "I think I should go home."

Upon hearing this, Thor assumed Depp was urging the construction of the Rainbow Bridge, and said, "I think you may have to wait a little longer. The Rainbow Bridge is under repair and will take some time."

Depp looked at the last few seconds of the countdown and said, "There's no need to wait for the Rainbow Bridge to be repaired. I've had a lot of fun these past few days. See you later."

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple mist appeared before them.

With a pop, Depp disappeared from Asgard.

Odin, sensing the energy fluctuations, immediately came over, only to find Thor standing there dumbfounded.

Odin asked, "Depp...has he left?"

Still bewildered, Thor said, "Yes, he was enveloped in a purple mist just now, and then he disappeared."

As he spoke, Thor suddenly realized something and said with a look of annoyance, "Damn it, I should have had him take me to Earth first. Jane is still waiting for me!"

That Depp kid can actually travel between the nine realms out of thin air!

Odin was immediately shocked.

However, although he didn't know how Depp left, Odin was relieved.

What Depp said that day instilled a strange sense of fear in Odin.

He couldn't understand how Depp knew all his thoughts and how he could sense Depp without using any mind-reading magic.

This feeling, as if Depp already knew everything he had done, made Odin very uncomfortable.

Since Depp left safely after playing for two days without causing any damage, Odin was naturally pleased.

"Who exactly is Depp? Has he told you?" Odin asked.

Thor said, "I asked him, and Depp said he's from Gotham City. Father, have you ever heard of that place?"

Gotham City... Odin racked his brains but couldn't recall ever having such a place.

He said, "Perhaps it's some unknown little divine realm on the edge of the universe."

He then continued, "Thor, I think we should talk about that human girl."

The conversation that followed was unpleasant.

Odin, as the king of the gods, hopes that Thor will end his relationship with Jane as soon as possible.

It's not that Odin is afraid Thor will betray Sif; he himself has countless lovers.

Rather, he felt that a mere human woman was not worthy of marrying his son.

Of course, Thor was clearly not one to obey orders.

Enraged by Thor, Odin returned to his palace and added new content to the blank pages at the back of the great book that recorded many cosmic secrets, including those of the Dark Elves.

Gotham City (unverified): A realm hidden in an unknown part of the universe, where people seem to know the past and future, are good at understanding the secrets of people's hearts, and also have the ability to control lightning and the technology to create high-tech armor.

It even uses teleportation power that is no less than that of the Rainbow Bridge.

Known characters in Gotham City: Leonardo Depp.

Gotham City's sewers—Depp returned to this stinking place.

"Unless it includes room and board!"

Grandi's honest voice reached Depp's ears.

It took Depp a while to realize that this sentence was connected to what Grandi had said before he left.

In other words, this guy doesn't even need to be paid a salary; he can work for himself as long as he's provided with room and board.

that's nice!

Depp said to Grandi, "Great, as long as you work hard, you can eat your fill every day."

"Grandy, you've got plenty of energy!" Grandy gave Depp a thumbs up and said, "Depp, you're a great guy! Grandy, at least we can eat our fill now!"

"Then come back with me now."
