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

Heimdall bowed deeply to Lin Feng.

"Asgard thanks you, Mr. Lin Feng. You saved our prince; words cannot express our gratitude."

Lin Feng nodded modestly in greeting.

"It was just a coincidence."

Where is my father?

"Sol asked eagerly."

　003 “I must see him immediately.”

"His Majesty is in the palace."

Heimdall said.

"Please allow me to take you there."

The three rode across the Rainbow Bridge, with the golden palaces of Asgard gleaming in the distance.

The people along the way were filled with surprise and joy when they saw Thor. Many knelt down to pay their respects and cheered for the return of the God of Thunder.

Soon, they arrived at Odin's palace.

The ancient gates slowly opened, and Odin sat on his throne, holding the spear of eternity, his expression majestic.

When he saw Saul walk in, a look of shock flashed across his weathered face, which quickly turned into undisguised joy.

.....

113: Thanos Exposed! Odin Stunned!

"Thor?"

Odin stood up, his voice trembling slightly.

"My son, are you still alive?"

Saul stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Yes, Father. I have returned."

Odin stepped down from his throne and gently stroked Thor's face with his right hand, as if to confirm that this was not an illusion.

"I thought... I thought I had lost you."

Saul stood up, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

“Father, I…I am deeply sorry. I was too impulsive and reckless in the past, and I am not worthy to be the heir of Asgard. The hardships I have endured during this period have made me realize the value of home, and I also understand that your harsh criticism of me is out of good intentions.”

Tears welled in Odin's single eye.

“My son, you’ve grown up.” He opened his arms and embraced Saul.

"Welcome home."

A moment later, Odin released Thor and his gaze fell on Lin Feng, who was standing to the side.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I owe you another favor."

"hehe."

Lin Feng smiled lightly.

Odin's eyes were filled with gratitude as he said earnestly:

"Asgard owes you a debt of gratitude, Mr. Lin. You saved my son, and I will never forget that kindness."

Lin Feng smiled calmly:

"It was just luck. I happened to be in the right place at the right time."

Odin scrutinized Lin Feng, a glint of scrutiny flashing in his eyes.

“No, Mr. Lin, luck never happens by such coincidence. There must be a deeper meaning to why fate has led you to my son.”

Saul, standing beside his father, added:

“Father, Mr. Lin not only saved me, but also took the Cosmic Orb from Ronan.”

Odin's expression turned serious.

"A cosmic orb?!"

His gaze fell on Lin Feng again, this time with a deeper inquiry.

"Do you know what you're holding, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Feng answered calmly.

"I know that it is precisely because I know its danger that I decided not to let it fall into Thanos' hands."

"Thanos..."

Odin repeated the name in a low voice, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

"Darkness is about to descend, sooner than I anticipated."

Saul looked at his father, puzzled.

"Father, do you know Thanos?"

Odin sighed.

"Thanos is one of the most dangerous beings in the universe. He is known as the Mad Titan of Titan, pursuing a twisted philosophy of balance. I used to think he was just a legend... It seems I was wrong."

Lin Feng stepped forward and said calmly:

Thanos is collecting the Infinity Stones. He has sent his minions everywhere to search for them, with the aim of collecting all the stones to achieve his balance.

Odin's expression grew even more serious.

"If Thanos really collects all the Infinity Stones... the consequences will be unimaginable."

He turned to Saul and said in a deep voice:

“My son, it seems your return is more than just a family reunion. A greater war is brewing, and Asgard must be well prepared.”

Thor said seriously:

"Father, please allow me to lead the warriors of Asgard to stop Thanos's ambitions."

Odin shook his head.

"No, Saul. We need to know more, to prepare more. Hasty action will only lead to greater disaster."

He turned to Lin Feng and said sincerely:

"Mr. Lin, would you be willing to stay in Asgard for a while? I'd like to hear your understanding of Thanos."

.....

114: Queen, you didn't want this either...

Lin Feng nodded in agreement.

"Of course, I am very curious about Asgard."

Odin nodded in satisfaction.

“Very good. Tonight, we will hold a grand feast to celebrate Thor's return. Tomorrow, we will discuss the matter of Thanos.”

As the guards led Lin Feng to his guest room, Thor and Odin remained in the throne room.

The father and son stood in front of the huge window, gazing at the magnificent scenery of Asgard.

"Father."

Thor hesitated before speaking.

"Loki...where is he now?"

Odin's expression became complicated.

"In the dungeon. His actions must be punished."

Thor nodded, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He was both angry at Loki's betrayal and worried about 003, his childhood friend.

"Can I go see him?" Saul asked.

Odin glanced at his son and nodded slightly.

"Go. Perhaps... perhaps you can persuade Loki to turn back from the wrong path!"

"Yes, Father."

Thor took a deep breath and left the throne room to walk outside.

Although he had just returned to Asgard, he already had a clear goal in mind.

His father’s words echoed in his mind—Loki’s actions had violated the laws of Asgard.

Even princes are not exempt from punishment.

　(agdh) But in Thor's heart, no matter what Loki did, he was always his brother.

The golden corridor shimmered in the sunlight as Thor walked through the magnificent palace toward his mother Frigga's chambers.

When the guards saw Thor return, they all saluted in respect.

Thor nodded slightly in response, but did not stop walking.

When he arrived at the gate of his mother's bedroom, the guards immediately opened the gate.

Frigga was standing on the balcony gazing into the distance when she heard footsteps and turned around.

"Thor!"

Frigga exclaimed and rushed forward to hug her son.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"My child, you are finally back!"

Saul hugged his mother tightly.

"Yes, Mother, I'm back."

Frigga released her embrace, cupped Thor's face, and examined him closely, as if to make sure he was not injured.

"What happened? Where did you go? We all thought you might..."

Her voice choked.

"I'm fine, Mother."

Saul comforted her and led Frigga to her seat.

"In fact, I was teleported to a star field outside the Nine Realms by a spatial rift."

Frigga's eyes were full of worry.

"Outside the star system? A place even Heimdall can't see?"

Thor nodded.

"There, I met a group of people who called themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy. They... were somewhat special, but they were all brave warriors. Together, we fought against a accuser named Ronan who was trying to destroy a planet using a powerful energy gem."

"Energy Gem?"

Frigga keenly grasped the meaning of that word.

"Yes, it is similar to the gems we encountered in the Midgard—on Earth."

Thor explained.

"However, if it weren't for Mr. Lin Feng's help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to return to Asgard so quickly."

"Lin Feng? Is that the visitor who came with you?" Frigga asked.

"That's right. He has the ability to travel through time and helped me return to Asgard."
