Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

“Look at the central courtyard, look at the rising Terran Empire, look at the powerful and proud Terran Emperor.”

"Look what he did!"

"The demons of Hell invaded Midgard. He single-handedly stormed into Hell to confront Mephisto and the Queen of Hell, Lilith, and led his army to wage war against Hell. He only took eighteen days to destroy a demon lord."

"He conquered a hellish dimension."

“This is what a king should do. He used conquest and powerful force to eliminate all enemies who dared to provoke him, and his steps have not stopped.”

“The central courtyard used to be our territory.”

Thor spoke of Midgard, of Terra, and of the major events that had recently occurred.

With Heimdall in Asgard, one can receive a lot of information immediately.

Because of Heimdall's eyes, the Rainbow Bridge Observatory can see 10 trillion souls within the Nine Realms, covering the Nine Realms and many places beyond them, including some places in Hell.

This does not include the demon lord's kingdom, of course. If he were to actively observe it, it would be tantamount to a provocation against that demon lord.

So Thor naturally knew about the most sensational and big-name thing that had happened recently.

Thor's ability to treat Odin in this way, and to be persuaded by Loki to go to Jotunheim, actually stemmed from his deep-seated pride.

Midgard was once the territory of Asgard, but it was there that a powerful ruler, a mighty king, was born.

Furthermore, the things this king has done recently are very much in line with his beliefs.

They believed that if the Terran emperor could do it, they should be able to do it too; this was the pride and dignity a king should have.

Those who challenge dignity must pay a bloody price.

But Odin seemed to have truly angered Thor. Odin looked at Thor and roared, "You are a vain, greedy, and cruel child."

"You're a stupid old man."

Thor stared intently at Odin's furious roar.

The father and son's conversation, filled with insults, made Loki, the Warriors Three, and Sif tremble with fear.

Loki appeared incredulous, but inwardly he was laughing hysterically.

Yes, that's it, my foolish and arrogant brother, that's the real you, you did the right thing.

After this roar, an eerie silence fell over the Rainbow Bridge Observatory. Odin was initially surprised and shocked, then his chest heaved rapidly before he slowly calmed down, his expression turning forlorn.

Odin lowered his head wearily: "Yes."

Upon seeing this, Thor couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

He wanted to apologize to his father, but his pride and anger prevented him from speaking until Odin spoke again.

The voice was low.

"I was foolish to think you were ready."

Upon seeing this, Loki immediately stepped forward, seemingly wanting to take the opportunity to comfort him: "Father."

But Odin suddenly pointed a finger at Loki and shouted, "Loki!"

Chapter 365 Terra Empire - Star Torch (Seeking monthly votes)

After stopping Loki, Odin placed Gungnir, the eternal spear in his right hand, on the ground.

He slowly turned his head to look at Thor.

"Sol Odinson, you have defied the King's explicit orders. Because of your arrogance and folly, the peaceful kingdom and innocent lives will face the horrors and tragedies of war."

Thor's eyes flickered as he listened to Odin's words.

As Odin finished speaking, he slammed the Spear of Eternity into the ground, unleashing a terrifying surge of lightning.

Boom~~

The surging divine power exploded, and Odin was no longer the weary, aged father, but the king of a powerful kingdom.

He released his grip on Gungnir, the spear of eternity, and strode up to Thor.

He grabbed the armor plaque on the front shoulder of Thor's armor, which not only connected to the cloak but also served as a divine anchor point.

The component that held the divine power was pulled off the armor, signifying that Odin was doing something beyond simply stripping Thor of his armor; he was also stripping Thor of his godhood.

Odin ripped off the armor plates and then tore off the attached cloak.

Thor had no way to resist; he could only watch helplessly as Odin's furious pronouncement echoed in his ears: "You have failed your title, you have failed..."

He stared at Odin in disbelief.

"The person who loved you whom you betrayed."

Loki, the Warriors Three, Sif, and Heimdall could all see what Odin was going to do, and their expressions varied.

The others were shocked, while Loki was both shocked and secretly pleased.

As Odin met Thor's gaze, he lowered his head slightly, then turned and took two steps before suddenly turning back and extending his right hand toward Thor.

The ancient and majestic voice, proclaiming the judgment by the supreme King of the Asgardian gods, was deafening.

"Now, I'm taking back your power."

As soon as he finished speaking, Thor's hammer flew into his hand: "In the name of my father and grandfather."

Thor's arm guards crumbled and peeled off layer by layer.

At last.

"I, Odin, King of the Gods, banish you." Odin raised Mjolnir and aimed it at Thor. A terrifying burst of divine light blasted Thor away, shattering his armor. Thor disappeared completely into the Rainbow Bridge behind him.

Although everyone had a premonition, they still couldn't believe it when they actually saw it.

That brave and skilled warrior, destined to be the future king of Asgard, was stripped of his godhood and even banished from Asgard.

This trial was far too harsh and severe.

It was so serious that even Loki hadn't anticipated it.

He originally thought that Thor would at most be imprisoned, but he did not expect that he would be stripped of his godhood and banished.

Loki glanced at the expressionless Odin, then strode towards the entrance to the Rainbow Bridge.

Odin glanced at Loki, a deep glint in his eyes, then placed Mjolnir to his lips and said softly, "Whoever wields this hammer, if he is worthy of it, will possess the power of Thor."

After saying that, he threw Thor's hammer into the entrance of the Rainbow Bridge.

Loki, standing beside the Rainbow Bridge, turned to Odin and said, "Father!"

"Loki, this matter ends here."

Odin seemed to have guessed what Loki was going to say, and he stopped him again, a flash of lightning in his single eye serving as a warning.

Loki understood the look in his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

He sensed that this unfathomable Father God seemed to be able to guess something.

An unease suddenly arose in my heart.

No, it won't be that simple for that foolish brother to ascend the throne, even though he has been stripped of his divine power and banished.

Although Loki was unwilling to admit it, he knew that Thor's prestige, earned through countless battles over the years and his generous personality, was immense.

The Warriors Three, Sif, and even Heimdall and their followers will still support Thor and hope for his return to Asgard.

He must take this opportunity to get rid of Thor and not give him any chance to return.

Loki lowered his head, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

But he didn't notice that Odin's single eye looked at him with affection, disappointment, and expectation.

Terranovie Star Torch Data Center.

The entire space is spacious and deep, constructed entirely of matte deep-space alloy and translucent microcrystalline glass, with no unnecessary partitions.

Transparent, cool-white linear light strips spread along the dome and ground grooves. The ground is a semi-transparent light guide substrate with fiber optic lines running in all directions underneath. Pale blue data streams, like fish swimming underwater, continuously flow and flicker under the substrate.

On both sides stand neatly modular Starlight computing power racks, each rack's shell shimmering with a pale blue light. Suspended mechanical maintenance arms hover between the racks, silently inspecting the chip arrays. Tiny digital particles constantly drift from the top of the racks, merging into the global data network in mid-air.

A transparent spherical main core with a diameter of more than ten meters floats in the very center of the space. Massive data flows inward around the sphere like a silver-blue galaxy. This is the Star Torch global signal hub.

There is no physical operating table in front of the sphere; the entire airspace is filled with multi-layered interactive holographic projections, energy calculation curves, artificial sun simulation parameters, and Terra global monitoring images that float in layers.

Staff at the Star Torch Data Center can simply raise their hands to touch the floating light screen and drag and zoom any set of data models, leaving behind a trail of fluorescent code that disappears in an instant wherever their fingertips glide across.

Countless thin light beams hang from the ceiling, connecting each computing unit. Once data fluctuations occur, the light beams will switch to a warning pale purple light.

Deep inside the computer room is an independent, isolated holographic computing cabin, which is specially designed to carry out ultra-high computing power tasks such as steady-state simulation of artificial sun and time-series deduction of life evolution. The cabin wall is wrapped with multiple layers of anti-interference optical barriers, and a large number of holographic simulation models operate independently inside.

There was no harsh mechanical noise throughout the entire process, only a low and steady hum from the equipment.

All commands and data interactions rely on holographic touch and the full-domain voice control linkage of the artificial intelligence Veronica. The entire data center is like a silently operating digital galaxy, carrying all the cross-dimensional measurement, monitoring and storage tasks of Xingju.

This is the most crucial Starlight Data Center in Terra, built with the wisdom of countless brilliant scientists and massive amounts of money and equipment.

It's safe to say that the level of secrecy here is absolutely the highest in all of Terra.

There is not only a dedicated Grey Knight squad stationed here for protection, but they also rotate shifts with the Grey Knights according to time periods.

The surrounding area is also protected by multiple layers of fixed magical rune arrays.

Even a life form of the level of the Heavenly Father would need a considerable amount of time to invade this place. Furthermore, as the Gray Knights' magical abilities improve, the magical barrier here will continue to be optimized.

The star torch was used methodically, but suddenly, the sphere changed, revealing a spherical plate of Earth.

One of the areas turned bright red, and a red dot appeared.

Chapter 366 A Teleportation System Exclusively for Terra (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The top floor is a spacious, column-free platform.

A cold white floating holographic projection filled half of the airspace, with densely packed dimensional waveform parameters and energy coupling formulas flowing in layers.

Wearing a simple black tactical vest, Nigley's fingertips slid rapidly across the virtual panel, data flowing along his fingertips, constantly calibrating the docking thresholds of the two heterogeneous systems.

The Gray Knights' Chapter Leader, Nydy, stood with her arms crossed to the side, next to a clearly defined energy form that emanated a clear blue light. Jennifer resided there in her pure psionic form.

Nigley withdrew his hand, stared at the fluctuating coupling error value on the projection, and spoke first, his tone light but professional.

"I recompiled the Starlight Global Computing Framework in order to build a new standardized cross-domain jump teleportation system."

“Referring to a mature architecture concept from outside the domain, we use computing power as coordinate anchoring, magical energy to construct space, and the Star Torch terminal is responsible for global coordinate calculation and three-dimensional spatial anchor point locking to complete the physical spatial distance measurement.”

"However, simply anchoring computing power cannot lock in cross-dimensional spatial gaps, and topological coordinates are extremely prone to shift."

After carefully considering her mental calculations, Nydy shook her head.

"The Kamar-Taj dimensional teleportation spell framework uses runes to construct the underlying rift anchor pattern. Kamar-Taj magic can tear open stable warp channels, but without precise coordinate verification, long-distance teleportation is prone to spatial drift and misalignment of landing point."

“If we want to build a stable transmission channel, computing power alone may not be enough.”

The thing the Starlight Data Center Director and the Grey Knight Chapter Commander are tinkering with here is a teleportation array.

However, it differs from ordinary Kamar-Taj teleportation magic.

After all, this kind of traditional teleportation magic requires a Grey Knight to activate.

However, in many situations, we certainly cannot rely solely on Grey Knights for long-term maintenance.

Take, for example, the development of people's livelihoods in Terra.

Such a long-distance teleportation array, which can be opened and closed at any time, is best controlled by the science and technology department.

Earth is not large, but it is not small to humankind, and can even be described as quite far away.

Traditional transportation consists of nothing more than cars, airplanes, and cargo ships.

However, this raises an efficiency issue, as well as the losses incurred during long-distance transportation.
