Lord of Cinder in American Comics

This is naturally referring to Ash, who resolutely chose to go to another planet to "fish" in order to leave a window of opportunity for Earth's development.

Attending Thor's wedding serves as both a diplomatic visit and an opportunity to freely adjust my slacking-off time. Everyone knows interstellar travel takes time, so I should be able to slack off for a year or two without any problem!

“I know, Ash. We’re good friends. Back in Midgard, he gave me a job…”

Thor smugly recounted his life on Earth, which only made Heimdall more worried about the future of Asgard.

I saw it all: you were taken down by the Taser!

Heimdall shook his head, trying to dismiss these thoughts. As Thor's brother-in-law, he had to help Thor handle these matters.

As Thor spoke of Earth, he suddenly looked around and asked, "Where's Loki? He hasn't shown up since he returned from Midgard? He should have been there to welcome the friends from Midgard..."

Heimdall's eyes began to shine, and his mind wandered in the void, accurately locating Loki's figure, only to be kicked by the Greedy One beside Loki.

Heimdall's physical form reacted accordingly and nearly collapsed to the ground.

Heimdall straightened his clothes and said, "Loki is currently in Asgard with the Queen of Goddess, and the Greedy One is there too..."

As they spoke, Ash's vehicle arrived at the border of Asgard and stopped in the void outside the Bifrost control room.

The warships of Lothric—a dangerous sign.

However, this ship was different from the expeditionary force's battleships; its church had been removed, and the entire warship was painted in a white-gold color.

To highlight Ash's identity, the craftsmen of the Dark Souls world applied every available spell to the spaceship, even inlaying gold trim on every corner.

The dragon riders of Lothric began maneuvering around the end of the Rainbow Bridge, while a small airship slowly emerged from the warship and headed towards Thor and his companions.

The spaceship, escorted by the dragon knights, slowly landed beside the Rainbow Bridge. The hatch slowly opened, and Thor walked aboard with a smile already etched on his face.

"Welcome everyone to..."

Before he could finish speaking, the distinctive charging sound of a Taser rang out, causing Thor to stop in his tracks and his smile to turn strange.

Stark walked out from the side, looked at the stunned Thor, shook his head, and said to Ashe beside him, "I owe you five dollars..."

Just now on the spaceship, Ashe made a bet with Stark that even today, Thor, as the God of Thunder, would react to the Taser.

The result was obvious: Ash won.

Stark circled Thor, marveling at his achievement.

The device on Stark's wrist emitted the sound of a Taser, sending chills down Thor's spine.

Stark said, "I didn't expect you to be so sensitive to Tasers! Maybe you need a therapist. I can recommend a few, but are you really Thor?"

Stark's suspicion put Thor in an awkward position. In the past, he would have definitely taken out his hammer and held it against Stark to show him the glory of the Northern God!

Thor simply took a deep breath and continued with a smile, "I hope you all have a pleasant time. This way, please..."

Seeing Thor's attitude, Stark reluctantly pulled out ten dollars, handed it to Ashe, and said, "I lost again. It seems the God of Hammer has really changed..."

For this trip... a diplomatic mission, Ash solemnly brought along everyone she could.

The environment in the Dark Souls world is now excellent, and the Lothric Expedition has conquered enough star systems for everyone to enjoy a period of prosperous development.

So Ash brought Fire Keeper, Stark brought Pepper, Logan and Frank brought their families, and even Gundyr joined in, bringing Kreemshid, forming this sightseeing tour group.

When Gundyr's enormous figure appeared before Thor, Thor, who had been taught by Gundyr and had been beaten, immediately became respectful.

Thor looked up at Gundyr's massive frame and said, "You've come too. I hope you have a pleasant time..."

However, Gundyr gave a cold snort, ignored Thor, and walked past him with Ash.

Krimshid did the same; she shook her head at Thor, as if sighing over something.

Confused, Thor watched the crowd gradually disappear into the distance, still wondering if there was something wrong with his manners that made Gundyr so indifferent.

At this moment, little Laura, who had been following Logan, quickly came to Thor under the guidance of Krimside.

Staring at Thor, little Laura said, "Teacher Klimshid said that you should never say you were taught by Teacher Gundyr again. They never taught you, nor did they have a student as disappointing as you..."

Chapter 453: Wedding Preparations

Lothric's warships did not enter Asgardian territory; they simply remained in the void.

This is a guarantee for the safety of Asgard, since no one would feel at ease if such a weapon were allowed into the country.

However, it's not so convenient for others who arrive later.

Lothric's warships were anchored on the outskirts, right next to a shipping lane; no one wanted to ram Lothric's most powerful weapon.

So even though Lothric's warships didn't occupy the shipping lanes, other people's and factions' ships still took a long detour and headed towards Asgard.

Among them was the Jackdaw, which was conscripted by greedy men.

"Slow down! You're going to crash into other spaceships!"

Laura directed Blues to steer the ship while simultaneously checking the star map for directions.

"It's all because you kept pushing us to speed up! This was originally a remote little road, who knew there would be so many boats blocking the way!"

Smurfette piloted the Jackdaw, daringly drifting past several slow-moving spaceships before suddenly igniting the engine and launching herself across the Rainbow Bridge as if by catapult.

This maneuver caused the Asgardian guards to point their defensive weapons at the Jackdaw, and amidst a series of warnings, the Jackdaw barely managed to hover beside the Rainbow Bridge.

Having already spotted figures on the deck, Heimdall gestured to stop the approaching guards, ordering them to put away their weapons.

As a special guest of Asgard, the Greedy One was not only Loki's friend but also Frigga's honored guest. The Greedy One was also among the invitees to the wedding.

Laura, aboard the Jackdaw, waved the invitation given to her by the Greedy One, which finally stopped Heimdall from launching an attack.

Looking at the names on the invitation, Heimdall sighed inwardly at these impudent fools and said, "As the entourage of the Greedy Ones, your accommodations have been arranged in Asgard. I hope you won't behave like this there, lest it cause further misunderstandings..."

Laura knew that Smurfette's behavior was inappropriate and was about to apologize to Heimdall when Smurfette, who couldn't leave her side, stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge, snorted, and stomped her foot.

Smurfette said, "This is the Rainbow Bridge. It's said to be a planet-destroying weapon. Thanos was stopped by this thing back then?"

Although he knew Smurfette was right, Heimdall still emphasized, "It was Odin's bravery that stopped the madmen of the Titan Moon, and the Rainbow Bridge was just a teleportation device..."

However, Smurfette completely ignored Heimdall's words. Looking at the Rainbow Bridge that stretched all the way from Asgard, she said to herself, "Looks like we can't take it on the ship. This thing should be able to kill Thanos, right?"

Smurfette, who was showing her longing for the Rainbow Bridge, was instantly covered in mouth by Lara's arms around her neck, and Lara laughed awkwardly.

Pretending nothing had happened, Laura asked, "Which way should we go?"

Watching Lara and the others being led away, Heimdall, who had been the Rainbow Bridge keeper for thousands of years, felt for the first time that he should incorporate theft prevention into his work.

Heimdall's eyes began to light up as he looked to see what the greedy man was doing, but then he remembered the kick he had just received.

Withdrawing his power, Heimdall headed towards Asgard, deciding to report to Odin first and let Odin worry about it.

Although the Greedy One already knew Lara had arrived, Asgard's communication system continued as usual. The servants informed the Greedy One of Lara's arrival without mentioning the misunderstanding that had just occurred.

Frigga, however, became interested in the greedy man's henchmen and quickly had them brought over.

Although the power emanating from this greedy individual is filled with violence and even a strong aura of hell, his actions are contrary to his true nature.

Loki received help from the greedy man on many occasions, but as Loki's mother, Frigga didn't have many opportunities to repay the greedy man on behalf of her son.

That single Reality Stone is enough to ensure Loki's future security.

So Frigga wanted to take this opportunity to repay the greedy man, starting with his subordinates.

This was also Laura's first time meeting Frigga. She didn't think the Queen of Asgard was just a pretty face. When Asgard was founded, Frigga, as a witch, followed Odin with a sword and slashed down the Nine Realms. Her reputation still spread far and wide.

Although these reputations eventually faded with time, what does Lara do? Tomb raiding...and archaeology!

Archaeologists travel to various ruins, some of which preserve the grudges and feuds with Asgard.

Laura wasn't going to come in a haphazard way; she changed Smurfette, Jonah, and Ross's clothes and even rehearsed their etiquette beforehand.

As the Earl of Crawford, Laura's aristocratic manners were impeccable. Even Smurfette, one of her crew members, performed her audience perfectly under her guidance.

Frigga had originally intended to use the meeting with Laura to see if the Greedy Ones were lacking anything, so as to provide them with some compensation. However, Laura's perfect performance left Frigga at a loss, and her plan fell through.

One's status can be discerned from their manners, and Jonah's boxing gloves show that they are not lacking in martial arts skills. Even Smurfette, who performed the worst, possesses the power of a greedy person.

This group of people lacks nothing, and when they work together, they form a perfect team.

So Frigga could only find an excuse to praise him and give him some Asgardian specialties.

Frigga looked at the greedy man and said, "I really don't know how to thank you!"

"I'm a demon, and demons don't need to thank me..."

"Asgard will provide everything you need, Odin's treasury is yours to choose from, and I can even persuade Odin to open the Bifrost for you..."

Now that things have come to this point, the greedy one, who originally wanted to see Loki cause trouble, never expected to receive such a great benefit.

The greedy one chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to think about it carefully. By the way, where did Loki go? I need to ask him for advice on what I can do to make the King of Gods feel pain..."

Frigga smiled and said, "Loki went to handle the conflict between the guests. The centurion of Xandar had a conflict with the neighboring Kree. As the administrator of all affairs in Asgard during this period, Loki has been doing a very good job..."

Hiss~~ By making their archenemy their neighbor, Xandar's Nova Corps will definitely clash with the Kree. While they won't have any bloodshed in Asgard, won't they have to have a real confrontation when they go back?

This blatant conspiracy, while provoking conflict from other forces, is perfectly plausible in terms of reason and logic. After all, Loki is the god of mischief, so it's only natural for him to cause trouble.

No one will say much to Asgard; their long-standing feud will only deepen.

After spending so many days together, and returning to Asgard with Loki, the Greedy Ones didn't believe that Loki, who was determined to disrupt Thor's wedding, could have come up with this plan.

So who is it that can both keep Loki obedient and keep him busy so he has no time to attend Thor's wedding?

The greedy man looked at Frigga, who was holding a cup of tea and smiling as she gestured to him.

Horror!

Chapter 454: Thor's Plans and Loki's Scheme

After Loki resolved the conflict between the Xandar Nova Corps and the Kree, no one noticed that he went to the Rainbow Bridge.
