The 5000-year-old girl in American comics

“Since there’s hope, we should give it a try.” Odin took a sip of the tea that the Ancient One had brought. “Tsk, I still can’t get used to this kind of stuff.”

“You’ll get used to it eventually.” Gu Yi shook her folding fan. “I saw 23,170,751 futures.”

Gu Yi didn't continue speaking, but the expression on her face was really not good.

"I still couldn't stop Ragnarok?" Odin said with a wry smile.

“No.” The Ancient One looked at Odin. “You succeeded in all 23,170,750 futures.”

Odin was somewhat puzzled. That meant there was no future that couldn't be prevented, but the Ancient One's expression confused him even more.

"But there is one future that no one wants to see."

What the Ancient One saw was Diana, wielding a longsword and covered in blood.

Her perfect face was filled with indifference to everything, and even life and death could not shake her.

Beneath her feet lay endless corpses—heroes, villains, gods—almost covering the entire universe.

Chapter 18 Thor, the Envy of Others

At this moment, Diana is shopping for clothes with the mischievous child beside her.

Diana's beautiful face always wore a gentle smile like a spring breeze, and no one would have thought that this woman could easily shatter a sea cliff.

Even now, Thor still can't believe how that slender arm could unleash such immense power.

"Miss, your boyfriend has a great physique," the saleswoman said to Diana with great enthusiasm.

"Thank you, but I am his temporary guardian." Diana looked at Thor, who was being scrutinized by the sales assistants, but her smile remained unchanged.

"I'm sorry, I thought you two were a couple, after all, you both have such great figures, and even your looks are a perfect match. I didn't expect you to be..." The saleswoman looked shocked and was somewhat incoherent.

Diana didn't care what she was thinking, and in every sense, the guardian Diana mentioned was indeed not a problem.

Odin said he was entrusting Thor to him, so calling him a temporary guardian shouldn't be a problem.

"Thank you for your patronage." After Anna and her companion left, the sales assistants gathered together and whispered among themselves.

"Wow! That big guy's muscles were really amazing, I even touched them. It's a pity he has such a beautiful girlfriend, otherwise I would have given him his contact information." A saleswoman was still gazing at Thor's departing figure with a dreamy expression.

"Then you've happily missed out on a handsome man," said the saleswoman who had spoken to Diana earlier.

"?"

"They're not a couple at all; the woman is the man's guardian. Although I don't know why they have this kind of relationship, they admit it themselves."

A group of sales assistants were somewhat bewildered. Who would have thought that such a beautiful woman like Ge Ren would ultimately succumb to the allure of money? After all, the store they worked for wasn't a place that just anyone could afford.

Diana, long gone, had no idea what people were saying about her behind her back. Even if she had known, there was nothing she could do; there was no need.

Diana just wants to go to the hotel to take a nice shower and relax; she simply can't handle taking care of such a big, unruly child.

It's unclear whether Odin had already decided to entrust Thor to him from the beginning and booked a hotel for himself and Thor in advance. The stack of gold coins lying in his purse, however, was undeniable; it's just a question of what kind of hotel would use something like that instead of paper money.

Following behind Diana, Thor curiously observed the surrounding buildings and various strange electronic devices. Although Asgard's technology was far more advanced than Earth's in some respects, it was clear that Asgard's technology tree was biased towards magic or mysticism, and there weren't many things for entertainment.

Despite showing great interest in the surrounding objects, the Asgardian prince did not lose sight of Diana.

The two arrived at the hotel that Odin had booked for them without exchanging a word.

Mainland hotels.

The doorman looked at the two people with some strangeness, having never seen such people before.

They have absolutely nothing to do with being an assassin.

"Hello, this hotel is members-only. If you two don't know where to find a good hotel, there's a very nice luxury hotel just two blocks away," the doorman said with a professional smile.

Diana simply took out a gold coin and handed it to the doorman.

The moment Diana took out the gold coins, the doorman had already identified the two as members of the hotel.

He took the gold coins and opened the hotel door for the two of them.

"Welcome to the Continental Hotel," a friendly white man in a well-tailored suit said with a smile.

Diana handed over another gold coin, giving him the same gentle smile: "Odin said there's a room here that belongs to him alone."

The white man took the gold coin, looked at it, then looked at Diana, and finally gave her a somewhat obsequious smile.

"Okay, we'll arrange it right away. Please wait in the lobby for a moment, and the hotel manager will personally take care of everything for you." The white receptionist greeted the two and led them to the hotel lobby.

As Diana entered the lobby, she couldn't help but frown.

This hotel has a problem, and it's not a minor one.

Looking at the diverse group of people sitting in the lobby, Diana realized that perhaps the problem wasn't with the hotel, but with these people.

The stench of blood was overwhelming. Although everyone looked like upper-class people, the smell on them was too strong.

It was a cruel perfume woven from malice and bloodshed, one that no one could wash away, just like the smell of gunpowder on his cheap brother.

Diana had smelled this scent before, or rather, the feeling was imprinted in her mind. Although the scent here wasn't as strong, it was still somewhat repulsive.

Because that guy is a psychopath, a psychopath who loves to laugh.

"Now I have to wonder if Odin really only stays in Asgard."

As for Thor, he was already sitting there, and despite wearing expensive casual clothes, he somehow managed to make himself look like a thug.

Not only did he clash with the classical decor of the surrounding hotel lobby, but he was also out of place compared to the people around him, creating a strong sense of incongruity.

"Hey! Buddy, is that your chick?" A man in a white suit sat down next to Thor. "She's a real beauty, how about I have her?"

As he spoke, the man took out ten gold coins from his pocket and pushed them to Thor.

Thor merely glanced at the man: "Are you talking to me, Midgard?"

Although the man didn't know what Thor meant by "Midgards," it was clear that Thor was rejecting his offer.

"Very good, I hope you'll still be this smug after you leave the hotel." After saying that, the man got up and left Thor's side, patting Thor on the shoulder.

Diana simply stood with her arms crossed next to the receptionist, showing no intention of entering the lobby.

This led the people in the lobby to believe that the beautiful young woman was just someone the new guy brought along for his amusement.

However, this newcomer really tarnished the image of the Mainland Hotel. His slovenly appearance was completely natural; he was clearly someone who came from humble beginnings. It's unclear how he even got into the Mainland Hotel.

However, it must be said that the people he brought did indeed fit the feel of a mainland hotel.

"Sorry, I had to take care of a few minor things on my way down." Just then, an elderly man in a woolen coat came out from the side.

Just when everyone in the lobby thought the hotel manager would greet the charlatan hitman, he walked towards the pretty and hot young woman instead.

"Welcome to the Continental Hotel, dear. I am Halden, the manager of the Continental Hotel." Halden extended his right hand.

Diana smiled and took the old man's outstretched hand. To be honest, Diana was now somewhat averse to these white-haired old men, like Odin.

“Mr. Odin informed us a day ago, please come with me.” Halden didn’t say much, simply stating the time Odin had told the hotel.

Diana nodded and followed Halden to the room Odin had booked for herself and her son.

Thor? He had already come to Diana's side when Halden came down.

The man who had initially spoken to Thor now looked at Thor's figure with fury in his eyes; he had been mocked by an unknown nobody.

This is unforgivable for Viggo.

He imprinted the face of that nobody deep into his mind, then turned and walked out of the hotel.

"It's an honor, Mr. Vig," the white receptionist said, accepting Vig's room key and smilingly seeing the furious man off.

Meanwhile, Diana and her companion, led by manager Halden, arrived at the Continental Hotel room reserved for Odin.

Chapter 19 A Minor Accident on the Way Home

Standing on the top floor of the Continental Hotel, looking down, Diana still felt it was a bit outrageous. Why would a god-king have such a hotel suite that clearly belonged to an underground force?

The gods of Asgard have absolutely nothing to do with the underground forces of Earth.

"Pong!"

The sound of shattering glass rang out, followed by Thor's loud shout.

"One more!"

The unrecognizable bottle on the ground revealed to Diana Thor's fondness for it.

“I’m not very familiar with the customs of you Asgardians, but I’m more familiar with human customs. No one would break a bottle just to get another bottle of wine.” Diana sat down in front of Thor.

"There's no need to follow Midgard's rules." Thor didn't care what problems might arise, after all, they were just a backward race that hadn't even left their star system.

Diana didn't say anything, she just stared at him coldly.

Even a brat like Thor could only shrug and say, "Fine, fine! You're the boss. After all, Father entrusted me to you, so I'll listen to you."

The mischievous child gave in, and Diana regained her gentle expression.

“You need to understand why your father sent you to Earth,” Diana said to Thor, resting her head on her right hand. “I don’t think it was so you could run rampant on Earth. You’re too arrogant.”

Thor felt he had done nothing wrong, and his attitude towards Diana was simply because she represented his father in some way: "The way you speak is just like my teacher, the one from when I was a child."

Looking at this stubborn fellow, Diana couldn't help but frown. This Asgardian crown prince was completely unlike what one would expect of a crown prince.

“I’m starting to think your brother is more suited for that position.”

“Him?” Thor laughed. “Loki can never defeat me. He only knows how to scheme and trick. The real deal is the power to suppress everything. Schemes and tricks alone are not enough.”

As he spoke, he started playing with his hammer. With Mjolnir in his hand, he could never fail.

Diana didn't want to talk anymore. After all, sometimes you can talk to a cow and it will moo back, but with Thor? That just shows that sometimes people can't keep up with a cow.

"You should get some rest." Diana stopped insisting that some things couldn't be understood through preaching, especially for a mischievous child.

Only after being beaten can one understand that some things are right.

"No need, I don't need to rest. I can drink for nine days and nine nights!" Thor shouted, holding up the new wine he had just found.

Diana stopped paying attention to him and could only say that the room the Continental Hotel had prepared for Odin was big enough for Diana to choose another bedroom to rest properly.

Thor ignored Diana's words. Although the woman was beautiful, he was Thor, the God of Thunder. How could he listen to a woman? Did he have no dignity?

Lying in the bathtub, Diana stopped thinking about that troublesome guy and immersed herself in the warm water, as if her heart had been cleansed. She slowly sank into the water, savoring the only moment of relaxation she had experienced in days.
