Kamen Rider ZZZ, the American comic book spiritual mentor

Looking at the other half, which is covered in silvery-white scales and bloody flesh, the enormous stomach continues to swell, faintly emitting a purple glow.

When its body reached approximately 1,500 meters, a piercing scream emanated from the giant snake's mouth.

Pain and fear gripped the giant serpent; it was terrified and tried to use its magic to vomit out what was inside its belly.

But Lin Nan didn't give him a chance. After all, reality is not a dream. The strangely shaped body expanded and almost completely drained the power and mental energy from the dream capsule.

If we don't kill it this time, it will get away. If we try to find it and kill it again next time, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

So he gritted his teeth and continued to grow larger.

He didn't understand magic; all he knew was that as long as it was big enough, it would burst the giant snake, and that was enough!

The purple light emanating from Jormungandr's abdomen shone through the increasingly swollen and thinner snakeskin, growing stronger and stronger until, with a soft sound, a hole the size of a sesame seed appeared on his entire abdomen, which then rapidly expanded until it became a large hole.

Blood and flesh splattered out, and a sudden rain of blood and flesh fell on the sea.

A suit of armor, radiating purple light and standing a thousand meters tall, stained with blood, emerged from the large hole like a demon god, appearing before everyone.

Two enormous, nightmarish purple compound eyes looked down upon everything.

Jormungandr's consciousness dissipated, and the magic array in his abdomen that devoured everything was irrationally burst and destroyed.

Its upper body fell limply onto the sea, its single golden eye staring at the giant with terror and bewilderment.

Life and magic slip away like sand through your fingers, quickly losing their luster.

Its heavy and massive body did not sink to the bottom of the sea, but instead floated on the surface.

Lin Nan's thousand-meter-tall body shrank rapidly in just a few seconds until it became the size of an ordinary person.

His head was throbbing so hard it felt like it was about to split open. He struggled to stay conscious and try to levitate, but Loki grabbed him and lifted him up.

Lin Nan turned her head in confusion and saw a handsome guy with a Saiyan hairstyle.

Thor dispelled the lightning, stood on Jormungandr's mangled body, and looked at him with an incredibly complex expression.

That massive, mountain-like body, though only for a moment, was firmly etched into his heart, echoing and amplifying endlessly, unable to subside for a long time.

"Lin, how are you feeling?"

"I..."

Where does it hurt?

"I want to eat hot pot..."

Thor and Loki exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Just as they were about to speak, a huge, seven-colored beam of light descended from the sky.

It was far larger than anything they had seen before, covering Jormungandr's remains, Lokithor, and Lin Nan.

When the beam of light dissipated, there was nothing left on the sea except some blood and bits of flesh.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. members, watching the satellite images, fell silent.

The more I interacted with the knight, the more terrifying it became. How did they manage to create such a massive, all-encompassing armor?

Nick Fury remained silent for a long time before smiling wryly and saying, "When the Cavaliers come back, if he's alright, we'll have to talk again and offer more incentives."

Black Widow didn't speak, but nodded.

Coulson glanced at the director and Agent Natasha, then touched the inside pocket of his clothes.

It seems that besides Captain Steve's photo needing an autograph, we also need to add the Knight's.

Meanwhile, Tony jumped up in surprise, then calmed down, pointed at the screen with a serious expression, and asked, "Jarvis, record the data."

"Okay, sir."

As the great battle in the Pacific came to an end, on an unassuming lifeboat, a white-haired elder of the Hand murmured to himself, "The Dragon Prince... has arrived, the prophecy has come true..."

As the sole survivor, he witnessed it all firsthand.

The Hand has a very ancient prophecy:

[The dragon's belly is ripped open, its scales and armor withered.]

Purple eyes appear, white bones float.

Neither god nor demon nor of my kind

[Hands joined for a thousand years, awaiting this master]

It was originally just a prophecy carved on a stone tablet, written in simplified Chinese characters. For a thousand years, no one paid it any attention, but now...

They all match up perfectly!

Emerging from the dragon's belly, two large purple eyes, white bones rising up, scales falling off—it all matched up!

Reality is staring us in the face, and we can't help but believe it: this dragon prince who emerged from the dragon's belly is the master the Hand has been waiting for for a thousand years, and he will lead the Hand to the other side of eternal life.

As for why it's engraved in simplified Chinese, nobody the hell cares.

Now, this last remaining elder of the Hand only knows that the birth of the Dragon Prince signifies the coming of the prophesied era of the Hand's immortality.

He shakily pulled out a satellite phone with his right hand, and as soon as the call connected, he launched into a barrage of rubbish in Japanese.

The gist is this: Hurry up and come get me! I'm adrift on the sea, terrified. The prophecy has come true. Even though the Hand lost four old monsters, their future is still bright. If someone else gets there first...

The Hand's future is over!

…...

After the Knight was picked up by the Rainbow Bridge, Tony sent a video to his partner Harry Osborn.

Within minutes, the message had spread throughout the cipher group. In the conference room, everyone except Norman and Matt was present, sitting in chairs watching the video on the large screen.

After reading it, everyone fell silent.

While they were amazed by Lin Nan's seemingly inexhaustible stream of trump cards, the most important thing now was...

Was Lin Nan injured? Why did Asgard use the Rainbow Bridge to take him there?

The mystery and power of Asgard are evident in the stories of Thor and Loki. The knight went there; whether it was a blessing or a curse remains to be seen.

Wanda, in particular, was surrounded by a dark red mist that pulsated along with her tense emotions.

Dr. Otto spent the least amount of time with Lin Nan, so he was able to set aside his emotions and look at the matter objectively.

He tapped the table, and seeing everyone looking at him, he smiled and said, "I don't think everyone needs to worry. Thor and Lin Nan have a good relationship, and this trip to Asgard should be a good thing."

"Besides, Lin is not someone to be trifled with. I believe that with his abilities, he will do well even in Asgard. All we can do is stay calm, do our own thing, and wait for him to come back."

Peter nodded: "Saul ate hotpot with us before, he'll take good care of Lin."

After saying that, he looked at Wanda with considerable concern and asked:

Wanda, are you alright?

Wanda's energy gradually calmed down and receded into her body. She nodded: "Thank goodness Peter, I'm alright."

Chaos magic changes with emotional fluctuations, and most of her training now focuses on controlling her abilities and emotions to avoid losing control.

Her rational mind told her not to worry, but she couldn't help it emotionally. After all, Lin Nan was the happiness she had finally found, and she couldn't let anything happen to her.

The arrival of the Rainbow Bridge was so sudden that Lin Nan was completely unprepared. He felt as if he was swallowed by light, and then his vision was flooded by a torrent of light, almost causing him to go blind.

A powerful feeling of weightlessness washed over him, and his already exhausted mind went blank for a moment, causing him to faint.

In a state between sleep and wakefulness, he seemed to have returned to the lucid dream space. This vague feeling was like the first time he had accidentally stumbled into the dream dimension.

The energy of the Rainbow Bridge enveloped the body and, through the spirit, colored the entire dream with seven colors.

Lin Nan groggily raised his hand, and a purple capsule appeared, as if he were a drunk person, his consciousness unclear.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he saw the cat and the playing card inside the dream capsule light up slightly at the same time.

Afterwards, the dream world was turned into a vortex, and Lin Nan truly fell into a deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he looked up and saw a man with lion-like blond hair looking at him as if he were looking at a lover.

"Sol...move your big face away, you scared me."

Lin Nan raised her hand and pushed Thor's large face aside, then sat up.

Then he realized he was on a large bed with a golden silk quilt filled with goose down, soft and comfortable. The bedroom was also decorated in gold tones, and on a small wooden round table sat Thor's hammer.

"Where is this? Asgard?" Lin Nan asked.

"Yes, this is my bedroom. You fell unconscious inside the Rainbow Bridge and didn't see the eyes of the Asgardian warriors."

"When the serpent's enormous body appeared, all the warriors were stunned. When they learned that a Midgardian had killed Jormungandr, they could hardly believe it."

"Lin, you are already a hero in the eyes of all Asgardians. For the next ten thousand years, your name will be sung in epics and poems."

Lin Nan frowned: "Your mouth is dry, can you have a glass of water?"

Thor brought over a glass of water. The glass was made of pure gold and engraved with extremely intricate patterns, almost blinding Lin Nan.

Asgard, truly a kingdom of gods.

After drinking a glass of water, he felt refreshed and extremely comfortable. His depleted spirit was somewhat restored, and he waved his hand, saying, "I don't care about those empty titles. I just want to know, was it Odin's intention to bring me here?"

There's really no need to ask this question, because Heimdall wouldn't take it upon himself to bring a Midgardian into Asgard.

Sure enough, Thor nodded: "My father hasn't fallen into a deep sleep these days; he's been awake the whole time. By the way, he'll be hosting a banquet for you at the Golden Palace tonight."

“All the famous warriors and gods of Asgard will come, and my father will be there in person. You should rest well, and someone will come to change your clothes.”

Saul picked up the hammer from the table, pushed open the door, and left.

Lin Nan didn't even look up, but said with her head down, "Come out, I know you're eavesdropping."

As soon as he finished speaking, Loki emerged from the wall, now back in his noble Asgardian attire.

How are you feeling?

"It's alright, Loki, just speak your mind. We've been through thick and thin together, so don't be shy."

Loki's expression changed slightly, and he said with some seriousness, "I want to remind you that my father... Odin... is not someone who would easily hold a banquet for someone. In my more than 1,500 years of life, I have only seen one banquet that he personally attended."

"So, I want to remind you to be more careful."

After saying that, he added with a touch of self-deprecation, "You might think I'm up to some underhanded tricks, trying to sow discord..."

“I agree with you, Loki,” Lin Nan interrupted him.
