American comic: Checking in, Gwen in black stockings rolls her eyes.

"The Aether is one of the Infinity Stones, containing powerful real forces. If it falls into the hands of someone with evil intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Odin took a deep breath, suppressing his anger and trying to calm himself down.

He knew that getting angry now was pointless; the most urgent thing was to find out who had taken the Aether.

"Supreme Master, do you know who did this?"

Odin asked in a deep voice, his tone tinged with urgency.

The Ancient One shook his head slightly, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"I can only vaguely sense that that person... is not in the timeline."

"Not in the timeline?"

Upon hearing this, Odin's pupils contracted sharply, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

As the God-King of Asgard, he has wielded the Time Stone for many years, and his understanding of the laws of time has reached an extremely high level.

Even so, he had never heard of anyone being able to transcend the timeline.

This is simply unbelievable!

"Supreme Master, you mean..."

Odin's voice trembled slightly; he had a vague idea of ​​what might be going on, but he couldn't believe it.

The Ancient One did not answer directly, but simply sighed softly.

"There are some things that even we cannot understand."

She raised her head and gazed into the endless void, her eyes deep and distant.

"This universe is far more vast and mysterious than we imagine."

Odin remained silent.

He knew that what the Ancient One had said was true.

As the God-King, he knew better than anyone that there were too many unknown forces and powerful beings in this universe.

Even he is but a drop in the ocean.

After a long silence, Odin spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of determination.

"Whoever he is, I will find him!"

His eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.

The Ether must never fall into the hands of others!

……

Outside a small town in New Mexico.

On a desolate Gobi Desert, a fierce wind whipped up sand and dust, howling through the air.

The portal opened by the Ancient One sparked with golden flames, like claws tearing through space.

She walked out with Odin, her gaze falling on the figure standing quietly not far away.

Lin Feng.

He remained as calm and collected as ever, as if everything around him was irrelevant.

But both the Ancient One and Odin knew that this young man was no ordinary person.

He manipulated the timeline and even stole the Aether right under Odin's nose—methods beyond their comprehension.

"Mr. Lin, we've finally met."

The Ancient One spoke first, her tone calm and with a faint smile.

She took the initiative to show goodwill, wanting to find out Lin Feng's background and purpose.

Odin remained silent, a complex light flickering in his single eye.

He was very curious about who this young man was, that he could possess such great power.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the two of them, his tone calm:

"I didn't expect that the Ancient One and Odin would come together. May I ask what brings you two here?"

He had long suspected that the arrival of these two people must be related to the ether particle.

But Lin Feng was naturally not going to easily hand over what he had obtained.

Moreover, he had more important things to do.

Odin's gaze fell on the blood-red crystal in Lin Feng's hand.

He could sense the powerful and dangerous force contained within it.

“Young man, this thing is dangerous. It will cause dark turmoil. I hope you will handle it with caution.”

Odin said in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

He wasn't afraid of Lin Feng, but rather worried that if the Ether Particles fell into evil hands, it would bring disaster to the Nine Realms.

"Isn't it just a dark elf?"

Lin Feng said casually,

"Just a bunch of stray dogs."

Odin froze, speechless.

He hadn't expected Lin Feng to be so arrogant, not even putting the Dark Elves in his eyes.

Seeing this, Master Gu Yi quickly changed the subject.

She looked into the distance, where the stars in the sky seemed to be undergoing some strange change.

"Mr. Lin, what are your thoughts on the alignment of the nine planets?"

She asked, her tone tinged with a hint of probing.

Lin Feng's gaze also turned to the starry sky.

He smiled slightly, revealing a meaningful expression.

“Strange omens in the heavens foretell great chaos! They are nothing more than the shadows lurking in the darkness, the Ragnarok.”

The Ancient One and Odin were both shocked upon hearing this.

They exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

The Ancient One thought of Dormammu, the Dark Dimension Lord who had been eyeing Earth.

Isn't that the darkness lurking?

Odin then thought of the Ragnarok prophecy that had been circulating in Asgard for a long time.

Lin Feng knew about it too?

Who exactly is this young man?

Why does he know so much about these secrets?

The Ancient One and Odin realized that Lin Feng was not only mysterious, but also powerful.

He might actually be capable of handling the impending crisis.

"Mr. Lin, Kamar-Taj welcomes you anytime."

Master Gu Yi extended a friendly gesture once again, his tone sincere.

She hopes to establish a good relationship with Lin Feng and work together to protect the Earth.

"Asgard also welcomes Mr. Lin."

Odin also spoke, his tone carrying a hint of respect.

He already regarded Lin Feng as someone on the same level as himself.

"I will definitely trouble you in the future. Thank you both for the invitation."

Lin Feng said with a smile.

He neither rejected their kindness nor immediately agreed.

He has his own plans that he needs time to complete.

The Ancient One and Odin nodded, saying nothing more.

They knew that someone like Lin Feng wouldn't be easily bound.

The two turned around, ready to leave.

The golden sparks from the portal shone once more.

They made no further mention of the ether, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Feng watched the two figures disappear, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"System, can I clock in now?"

He was silent.

[Ding! Host has successfully recorded a memorable scene: The incompetent God-King, the disappointed Mage!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: Heart of the Universe!!]

The system notification sounded in Lin Feng's mind.

The Heart of the Universe!

This is a divine artifact in the DC Universe, possessing power comparable to the Infinity Stones.

Lin Feng was overjoyed and very satisfied with the reward.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.

Now is not the time to study the heart of the universe.

He needs to leave here as soon as possible and return to his research base.

Lin Feng's figure flashed and disappeared into the wilderness.

Only the howling wind remains, as if telling the story of what has just happened.

...

The dark and deep universe is like an endless black curtain, dotted with sparse starlight.

Planets, like lifeless stones, float in this cold void.

Suddenly, a dazzling light tore through the darkness, like a sleeping beast opening its eyes.

A colossal warship, resembling a mountain floating in space, slowly revealed its menacing outline.

The warship's surface was covered with strange patterns that shimmered with a dark red light, resembling some ancient and evil runes.

Inside the warship, on a huge throne, a figure slowly opened his eyes.

Malekith, the Dark Elf King, awakens from his long slumber.

His skin was as pale as paper, but his eyes burned with scarlet flames, like two leaping flames.

He slowly rose, feeling the power surging within him, and the call from a distant galaxy.

"Ether particles..."

Malekith's voice was low and hoarse, like a whisper from hell.

He stretched out his hand, and a ball of dark energy condensed in his palm, making a hissing sound in the air.

"Our clan's sacred relic has finally reappeared."

A cruel smile crept across his lips, and a glint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

Malekith could clearly sense that familiar yet powerful force was reviving in some corner of the Nine Realms.

That was a sacred relic long lost by the Dark Elves, containing dark energy powerful enough to destroy everything.

"This is the moment for the rise of the dark elves."

Malekith's voice echoed in the empty hall, every word filled with power.
