Lord of Cinder in American Comics

"Loki, I'm so happy..."

"Are you happy that I've become the King of Asgard? Don't worry, I'll do a better job than Thor... I'll lead Asgard to become an unparalleled being..."

"I'm so glad you have a friend..."

"Friend! That's not my friend! That's a demon! I'll have the guards kill him right now!"

Loki denies any connection with the Greedy One, who holds leverage over him, making eliminating him the best option.

“Loki, a demon doesn’t have such a pure soul. Although I can’t see his true appearance, the soul doesn’t lie. I’m a witch, and I taught you all your magic…”

Faced with Frigga, Loki could not refute her and could only lower his head and temporarily accept her statement.

"You two are very similar... both hiding yourselves, but that's part of what makes us friends, isn't it? Go, Asgard won't keep your friends waiting..."

Frigga gave Loki a gentle push from behind, urging him to walk towards the hall entrance. Loki turned around and saw Frigga's encouraging gaze.

'Only today. After today, I'll kill you and then tell Mother you're back on Earth! Only today!'

Loki sheathed the Spear of Eternity and straightened his slightly disheveled clothes.

Just as Loki stepped out the door, the Greedy One appeared before him with a wicked grin. His slightly strange tone made Loki want nothing more than to kill him right then and there.

"Oh! My friend, where are you taking me? A celebration? I've never seen such a celebration before, I can't wait!"

'Kill him right now!'

Despite his inner rage, Loki thought of Frigga in the hall behind him, but he suppressed his inner turmoil and headed towards the celebration.

Following Loki, the Greedy One was not questioned or investigated at all. In fact, when the Greedy One displayed his drinking habits, he was praised by all of Asgard.

Following Asgardian tradition, the greedy man smashed the barrel of wine in his hand, pointed at Loki, and said, "Another cup! No, another barrel! Loki, the God-King, will pay!"

Loki looked unhappy, but to prevent the greedy from causing trouble, he had no choice but to stay there.

"Drink up, drink yourself to death!"

"He broke Volstagg's record! Quick, get the wine! Let's see if he can break Thor's record!"

Loki was filled with curses, but compared to his resentment, the cheers of the onlookers made him want to get away from these drunkards.

The revelry continued until late at night. Loki looked at the chaotic crowd lying around and quietly walked over to the greedy one.

The dagger stealthily revealed its edge. Loki looked at the Greedy One lying on the table, hesitating about where to strike.

"How much longer are you going to wait? Lying here isn't comfortable!"

The greedy man turned his head, his eyes shining brightly in the lamplight.

The Greedy One sat up from the table, seemingly oblivious to Loki's dagger, and put his arm around Loki's neck, asking, "Let's go. Where's the lounge I've been assigned? Leaving a guest lying in the street isn't Asgardian style..."

The overly friendly Greedy One put his arm around Loki's shoulder, and the two walked toward Asgard. Along the way, Greedy One greeted the guards of Asgard in a friendly manner, as if he were inspecting them.

The guards who saw Loki and the Greedy Ones stood tall, filling Loki's heart with resentment once again.

Right now, on Earth.

After a day of instruction from the hero Gundyr, Thor's skills in taking beatings became increasingly fluid.

Gundyr controlled the force, inflicting only a non-fatal injury on Thor, who, with Ash's help, recovered in the shortest possible time.

And so, Thor was beaten up, beaten up all day long.

Krimshid, who was sitting on the crystal stool, was already feeling sleepy. She tapped Ash's protective barrier, signaling to release her.

"That idiot has no fighting spirit at all. He treats this as a training exercise. No matter how long he gets beaten up, he won't improve..."

Krimshid's suggestion made Ash realize that the reason Ash was able to progress so quickly under Gundyr's tutelage was because Ash had to face death every time, and every time he was reborn at the Spiral Sword, his soul had to endure the reshaping of the Abyss and the First Flame.

Only the Fire Keeper could soothe the Ash's tormented soul with that extraordinary suffering; death was not the end for the Ash.

Every death is exceptionally painful, which makes Ash extremely cautious and careful towards his enemies, and also makes Ash progress exceptionally quickly.

"I understand, let's stop here..."

Ash removed the barrier, and Gundyr inside simultaneously stopped swinging his fists. The fierce wind from the punches made Thor close his eyes and wait for the pain to arrive.

The expected punch didn't land on him. Thor opened his eyes and only saw Gundyr's departing figure.

Kreemshid clung to Gundyr's arm, chattering away, while Gundyr listened in silence.

Crimson Cinder, the daughter of the Crystallizer, is the Fire Keeper who guards the hero Gundyr in the Ash Graveyard, and is Gundyr's exclusive Fire Keeper.

The Dark Spirits invaded to prevent the Ashes from influencing Gundyr, who was also a hero who linked the fire. However, the Ashes still defeated them and absorbed their souls.

With the opening of the new world, Gundyr, persuaded by Ash, agreed to undertake some training missions as motivational training for Earthlings who could step into the realm of the strong.

Battles were commonplace for Gundyr; if it weren't for Ash, he would have been the one to successfully link the fire.

Gundyr and Krimshid are the other side of Ashes and the Fire Keeper.

Thor was a little confused when he saw that his training had ended inexplicably, but after being beaten all day, he was now a bit hungry.

Upon finding Ash, Thor launched into a long explanation: "Is today's training over? When can we eat? When does tomorrow's training start? I feel like I've made a lot of progress..."

Staring at Thor, Ash shook his head and said, "No more training... Our deal is off, consider the prophecy a bonus..."

"why?"

"You're so stupid! Your progress is unbelievable..."

Chapter 325: Xiaoyu Leaves

Ash's bluntness was hard for Thor to accept. How could he, the prince of Asgard, be called an idiot?

But the camp Ash directed to move and Gundyr left both speak to the truth.

For Thor, his progress was indeed too slow. Without the pressure of life and death, Thor, who had a smooth journey, may have suffered the greatest harm in the first half of his life from the stab he received from Loki, the third princess.

The Asgardians' generally long lifespan allowed Thor to maintain a calm attitude towards progress and training. He was unhurried and had no intention of changing his fighting style.

Swing the hammer and take down the enemy—this has been Thor's fighting style and experience for thousands of years. If there's an enemy that can't be defeated with one hammer blow, then two will do the trick.

Such tedious battles have turned Thor into the reckless man he is today.

The temporary camp was about to be moved, and even the spot where Mjolnir was located was filled back in. Ash even poured thousands of tons of cement there to ensure that no one could easily take it away.

Although Mjolnir was made from the core of the Death Star and cannot be lifted by those who are not recognized, a simple mechanical structure can move it. An elevator can move it up and down, so wouldn't it be possible to dig thirty feet into the ground and move the entire area?

So Ash dug a large pit around Mjolnir, then tightly filled it with steel, and then wrapped it with concrete to prevent the nuclear shelter from being completely sealed off.

Ash completed the filling work based on the principle that since he didn't need it, Thor couldn't take it, and the others could only watch.

Next, we'll return to New York. The surveillance work here will be handled by S.H.I.E.L.D. Anyway, even a bunker buster can't break through this concrete. Ash doesn't believe you can peel it off layer by layer and take the hammer.

As for Thor, Ash also arranged for her to stay in New York. Currently, there are greedy people in Asgard stalling for time, and the Third Princess cannot leave for the time being.

Moreover, this succession to the throne was personally arranged by Odin, and the legitimate succession had been communicated throughout Asgard, thus eliminating the later disturbances caused by the Warriors Three.

The whole of Asgard is now in a state of celebration, and only a small group of people can still recall Thor, who was exiled by Odin.

However, for Asgard, the Nine Realms are Asgard's territory. Exiling them to Midgard is like a parent disciplining their child and grounding them in the garage to write a 5,000-word self-criticism.

Ash thought long and hard about Thor's future, and finally decided to just put him in the Bureau of Control's army. As a soldier, Thor was a bit arrogant, but he still had a skill. At least his physical fitness and combat ability surpassed most well-trained soldiers.

The Bureau of Control is currently lacking just such a disruptive force. For the Bureau of Control, there is Ash for high-end combat power, Abomination for lower-end combat power, and Toby Spider for minor roles.

Next, we come directly to the ordinary cluster combat units. Although they have the help of exoskeletons, they are far inferior to the first three echelons.

Even if Ash wanted to fully strengthen this group, he would be willing but unable to do so, as the gap was too large to be filled overnight.

Now that they have Thor, at least they can start to change in terms of combat experience; the visceral combat can filter out a large number of candidates.

But for now, Ash should take Xiaoyu and the others back first. Epic Quest: Keep an eye on Xiaoyu, it's almost complete.

For the last battle, Ash had originally invited Jade, Tru, Jackie Chan, and Uncle, but Uncle refused.

From the father's perspective, the meaning behind an invitation from a deity was unfathomable, so the father simply refused everything and waited for his anchor to stabilize so he could return to his own world.

This was undoubtedly the safest option, and it also avoided a series of potential dangers. However, it wasn't so pleasant for Xiaoyu, and she argued with her father about it for several days.

Now, at Firelink Shrine, the cautious old man didn't rely on Ash to intervene, but instead used the combination of various materials and spells he had prepared to open a door back to his own world.

"Goodbye Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, I will miss you all..."

Xiaoyu said goodbye to each of the turtles, and the turtles gave her their favorite pizzas and various trinkets so that she would have food and entertainment on her journey.

"Goodbye, Carl. I hope we'll have the chance to go to space someday..."

Xiaoyu hugged Karl, and the sharp spikes on Karl's body were tucked behind him to avoid pricking Xiaoyu.

Karl chattered on and on in a language no one else could understand, and then shoved a package into Xiaoyu's hands.

The interspecies communicator on Karl's body can accurately locate the brainwaves of the person speaking to him. Unless others have the same equipment, they can only hear the language of their original species.

Ash, who overheard Jade and Carl's unusual conversation, felt even more sympathetic towards Jackie Chan's future.

In his previous conversations with Xiaoyu, Carl always heard her talk about things like the Demon Lord, the Black Hand Gang, and the villainous sorcerer. Now that Xiaoyu is going back, she may have to face these enemies.

So Carl handed her a pack of Rocket Raccoon-made bombs. These were originally self-defense items that Rocket Raccoon made for Carl, his friend, but Carl was now giving them to Jade to protect herself.

"Oh my god, you're so thoughtful! I'll definitely keep this safe and make sure I crush the Black Hand Gang!"

Xiaoyu excitedly accepted the parting gift. Regarding the power of these bombs, Xiaoyu only thought of the explosion of ordinary dragon talismans.

Jackie Chan was busy cooperating with his father's spellcasting, his body covered with special spellcasting materials and souvenirs from this world, and he had no time to take care of Jade's situation.

Ash sensed the energy contained in the bomb. Hmm... thankfully, it wasn't as powerful as the bomb that destroyed Ego. Perhaps his father and Jackie Chan could handle it...

The master mouse Splinter is saying goodbye to his father, and the two masters have established a noble friendship.

The old man shoved a bottle of glowing green potion into the hand of Rat Master Splinter, saying, "This is a parting gift. It will restore you to your original appearance. I know what you're thinking. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

After saying that, the old man shouted at Jackie Chan, "Jackie Chan! Your old man has been casting the spell for so long, how long are you going to dawdle!"

The father's urging made Xiaoyu and the others separate, watching them walk into the teleportation portal.

Ash felt his father's caution was absolutely necessary. After all, this other world wasn't the one he was familiar with, and no amount of caution was excessive. Even the invincible Ainz Ooal Gown would cautiously use eighth-tier spells to test the waters when facing a second-tier mortal.

Those who can thrive in other worlds either possess overwhelming strength or are fearless, with immortality, time reversal, and all sorts of other tricks at their disposal.

Xiaoyu's departure made the once bustling sacrificial site quiet, and everyone gradually prepared to leave.

A strange feeling stirred within Ash, and a distant coordinate instantly appeared in her mind—the aid that Ash had once left for her companions.

"What circumstances would make him seek help?"
