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

Loki didn't look up, but Thor could see his hands trembling slightly.

With mixed feelings, Thor left the dungeon.

He knew Loki was struggling internally.

But he also knew that beneath that proud and complex exterior, the brother he grew up with still existed.

Upon returning to the upper palace, Thor was told that Lin Feng had rested and was waiting for him in the garden.

The Warriors Three and Sif have also arrived, eager to witness this mysterious visitor who can help Thor return to Asgard.

As Thor walked toward the garden, he pondered how to explain Thanos's threat to the warriors of Asgard.

He knew that the days to come would not be peaceful.

But with the support of his family and comrades, he believed he could face any challenge.

And deep within the dungeon.

Loki put down his book and walked to a corner of the cell where there was a small mirror.

He stared at his reflection in the mirror, pondering Saul's words.

.

In the gardens of Asgard, the morning light filters through the clouds, casting a soft glow on the golden palace.

Lin Feng sat quietly by a fountain, admiring the strange flowers before him. Under the unique light of Asgard, these flowers bloomed with colors that Earth's 003 flowers could not match.

Thor strode over, followed by the Warriors Three and Sif.

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Thor smiled sincerely.

"Mr. Lin Feng, thank you for your patience."

Thor walked up to him and said sincerely.

“I went to see Loki last night.”

Lin Feng nodded slightly, his gaze shifting from the flowers to Sol.

"How did the chat go?"

"complex."

Thor sighed.

"To be honest, if you hadn't shown mercy, Loki's crimes would have warranted a much harsher price. I am deeply grateful that you spared him for the sake of Asgard."

.....

118: Malekith! The Cursed Warrior!

Lin Feng stood up, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"No need for thanks, it was just a small favor. I respect His Majesty Odin, and I'm doing this out of respect for you. Although Loki acts erratically, he is ultimately a member of Asgard."

"Nevertheless, I still want to express my gratitude."

Thor patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

“In the courtyard, I learned gratitude and humility. These were qualities my father had tried to teach me many times, but I didn’t truly understand them until I was exiled.”

As the three warriors and Sif approached, Fandral curiously sized up Lin Feng.

"This is the friend who helped Thor come back? He seems like someone special."

"It's truly extraordinary."

Hogan gave a brief assessment, a cautious glint in his eyes.

Sif gave Lin Feng a warrior's salute.

"Thank you for helping Saul. Anyone who is Saul's friend is our friend."

Vostagg laughed heartily.

"That's right! We should have a grand celebration tonight!"

Thor smiled and shook his head, then introduced Lin Feng:

“These are my friends, the bravest warriors of Asgard. Fandral, Hogan, Volstagg, and Sif.”

Lin Feng nodded to them, then turned to Thor, his tone calm but with a clear purpose.

"Thor, I've always wanted to ask you about the dwarves. I need some special weapons, and I've heard that the dwarven artisans of Nidavi are unparalleled in their skills."

Thor's eyes lit up.

“That’s easy! I have some connections with the dwarves, especially their chief craftsman, Etri. What kind of weapon do you need?”

"We'll discuss the specific details when we get to the point."

Lin Feng answered calmly.

When do you think it's a good time to go?

"anytime."

Thor responded excitedly.

"How about we leave tomorrow?"

Lin Feng nodded.

"Great, it's settled then."

Sif watched the two talking and thoughtfully interjected.

"Thor, we just heard you mention Thanos. That name... doesn't sound like someone from the Nine Realms."

Thor's expression turned serious.

"That's definitely not the case. Thanos comes from a distant star system, and his power and ambition far exceed our imagination. Lin Feng reminded me that Thanos is collecting the Infinity Stones, and if he succeeds..."

"Infinity Stones?"

Hogan frowned.

"Those are just legendary items."

Lin Feng shook his head.

"No, they do exist. The Tesseract is one of them, the Space Stone. Loki used it to invade Midgard, actually at Thanos's behest."

The Warriors Three and Sif exchanged surprised glances.

Fandral began:

"If that's the case, we need to be prepared. But first, we must protect Asgard."

Saul nodded in agreement.

“Father has strengthened the defenses. For now, we need more information. Lin Feng and I will go to Nidavellir to gather information about Thanos.”

(It's good).

Meanwhile, in a dark corner of the universe, a massive fleet quietly traversed a wormhole.

The black warships slithered through the starry sea like predators, each exuding an unsettling aura.

Inside the core cabin of the command ship, Malekith, the leader of the dark elves, stood by the window, looking down at the approaching star system.

His pale face was expressionless, but his red eyes burned with thousands of years of hatred and anger.

.....

119: Odin is stunned! The dwarves!

"Algorim".

Malekith spoke, his voice low and cold.

"Report."

A tall dark elf stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"My king, the advance team has infiltrated Asgard. As planned, our men will disguise themselves as prisoners and enter their dungeon system."

"very good."

Malekith turned around, a cold smile appearing on his face.

"Odin thought he had annihilated us completely and sealed the Aether forever. He was wrong. The Dark Elves can never be truly defeated."

"Should we attack immediately?"

"Algorim asked."

Malekith shook his head.

"No, the time is not right. In three days, the 003 Nine Realms Connection will take place, and Asgard's barrier will be at its weakest then. We will launch a full-scale attack at that time."

He walked to the central control panel, lightly touched a ball of light with his finger, and displayed a stereoscopic projection of Asgard.

"Our goal is clear: to reclaim the aether and bring the universe back into darkness."

A determination gleamed in Malekith's eyes.

"For that, you need to infiltrate Asgard and destroy their defenses from within."

Algorim nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will not fail your expectations."

“Go,” Malekith commanded.

"Three days from now, when our fleet appears in the skies above Asgard, you will begin your operation. Remember, the glory of the Dark Elves will once again descend upon the Nine Realms."

Argorim stood up and left the command center.

Malekith turned to the window, his gaze piercing through the void, as if he could already see Asgard engulfed in flames.

“Five thousand years,” he whispered, “the time for revenge has finally come.”

..

The following morning, the palaces of Asgard were bathed in golden sunlight.

Lin Feng stood on the terrace, gazing at the majestic mountains and the vast ocean in the distance.

Asgard's scenery truly lives up to its reputation; it's breathtakingly beautiful.

Thor walked over, dressed in simple armor.

"Mr. Lin, are you ready to depart?"

(agdh) Lin Feng turned around and nodded:

"Anytime is fine. How far are the dwarves from here?"

"It's just a short while before we cross the Rainbow Bridge."

Thor answered with a smile.

"However, I have already told my father about our itinerary, and he is somewhat worried."

"What are you worried about?"

Lin Feng asked, noticing a slight change in Thor's expression.

Thor shook his head.

“My father has been feeling uneasy lately, though he can’t pinpoint the source. He has agreed to our trip, but just told us to be careful.”

"Odin's intuition cannot be ignored."

Lin Feng said thoughtfully.

"Perhaps we should speed up our journey."

The two left the palace and headed towards the Rainbow Bridge.

Along the way, they encountered three brave warriors escorting prisoners.
