Reborn in Marvel, I am Iron Man's son?

"The government departments in Midgard are now wary of Superman's power and influence and are trying to find ways to suppress him."

Chapter 178 Odin's Reward

Actually, there are people who know Mark's true identity, such as Rosalie and Banner.

But unless they happen to be discussing it at that exact moment, Heimdall won't hear it.

After all, using the All-Seeing Eye consumes a lot of Heimdall's divine power, so he usually keeps his eyes closed.

Without Odin's command, he would not keep the All-Seeing Eye constantly monitoring the Nine Realms.

"Your Majesty, shall we continue to investigate Clark's true identity?"

After reporting, Heimdall asked Odin for instructions.

Although the other party's identity was well hidden, Heimdall was confident that given enough time, he would be able to find out the other party's true identity.

"No need, as long as we confirm that he comes from Midgard, that's enough."

Odin waved his hand and said.

He just wanted to confirm whether Mark had any ulterior motives towards Asgard and didn't care about his privacy.

Moreover, he learned from Heimdall that Superman had been fighting evil and saving people in distress since his appearance, and such qualities were trustworthy.

Mark has been browsing through various books in the library for the past three days.

Of course, he mainly read books about magic.

He also gained a much better understanding of magic, something unknown to the world.

In Mark's view, magic is not fundamentally different from technology on Earth; they have simply branched out into two different directions, which can be called magical technology.

On the surface, the Asgardians' standard of living is still at the level of the Middle Ages on Earth, but in reality, their most advanced magical technology far surpasses that of Earth.

It's like a rainbow bridge that can teleport across the world; even if Earth had thousands more years, it probably still wouldn't be able to build one.

“Mr. Kent, His Majesty wishes to see you.”

Just then, a royal guard in armor approached and spoke to Mark.

"Odin wants to see me?"

Mark was also somewhat surprised, wondering what the God-King wanted to see him at this time.

However, he still followed behind the guard and walked towards the main hall of the palace.

Upon entering the hall, Mark saw Odin sitting on the throne.

Odin, wearing a crown and holding a scepter, sat on his throne, appearing extremely majestic.

"Your Majesty the God-King."

Mark bowed to Odin in respect.

Odin is recognized as the strongest being in the Nine Realms, and his strength is unfathomable.

Even with Mark's current strength, he is no match for him.

Mark, in particular, has gained a much deeper understanding of magic over the past three days.

He knew very well that some powerful spells were capable of causing cataclysmic destruction, which his current body could not withstand.

"Warrior from Midgard, no need for formalities."

Odin's attitude was very gentle, and his voice echoed in the hall: "We Asgardians are clear about our gratitude and grievances. You saved so many of our soldiers before, so I have decided to reward you as a way of repaying you. You can ask for anything you want."

Mark was overjoyed, never expecting that Odin had invited him over to give him a reward.

"Your Majesty, I have only one request: I wish to use the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard to return to Midgard."

Mark originally wanted to increase Thor's favorability further so he could use him to borrow the Rainbow Bridge.

Now that Mark has the opportunity to achieve his goal through Odin, he can certainly avoid all this trouble.

"Borrowing the Rainbow Bridge is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning! If this is all we offer in return, people will say we Asgardians are too stingy."

Odin waved his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, besides using the Rainbow Bridge, you can also go to the royal treasury and choose any treasure."

The guards standing in the hall were somewhat surprised when they heard Odin's words, and looked at Mark with envy.

The royal treasury contains a vast amount of spoils of war that Odin has seized during his thousands of years of conquest of the Nine Realms, as well as various treasures offered to him by the Nine Realms.

Since Thor took Mjolnir from the vault, no one has been qualified to enter it for many years.

One of the main reasons Asgard went to war with the Frost Giants was that Laufey sent men to infiltrate the royal treasury while Odin was away, attempting to steal the Casket of Ice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Mark was pleasantly surprised and quickly thanked him.

Mark then headed toward the royal treasury, led by a guard.

The royal treasury is located at the lowest underground level, guarded by a large number of heroic warriors.

It would be extremely difficult for outsiders to invade this place.

After the guards used the token to open the final seal, Mark entered the treasury alone.

This treasure vault is not very large, about the same size as the royal palace on the ground.

But any one of the treasures stored here would be enough to arouse the covetousness of countless people.

For example, the Ice Box in the vault, which Odin himself sealed away.

This is the treasure of the Frost Giants, capable of unleashing endless extreme cold, enough to freeze an entire planet!

In ancient times, frost giants descended upon Earth with a casket of ice, intending to freeze the entire planet and turn it into a second Jotunheim.

In the end, Odin personally intervened and killed the Frost Giant King, saving the Earth and taking the Frost Casket as a trophy.

In addition, the vault contains various treasures such as the Eternal Flame, Surtur's Crown, and a replica of the Infinity Gauntlet.

In the corner lay a quiet, automated combat mech made of Uru metal, named Destroyer.

As Mark approached, a faint red glow appeared in the Destroyer's eyes.

Once it confirmed Mark's identity, the red glow gradually dissipated.

The Destroyer mech is not only one of the treasures in this vault, but it is also the vault's most powerful security force, guarding this place year-round.

Mark was quite discerning; he didn't choose these treasures that Odin had specially sealed away as his most prized possessions.

He began to select from other treasures of slightly lower value.

Although these are not as precious as treasures like the Ice Box, they are still rare and precious items in the Nine Realms.

Mark doesn't know magic, so even if he gets his hands on many treasures, he can't use them.

After careful selection, Mark finally chose a heart-shaped gem that emitted a rainbow of colors.

According to the information accompanying it, this gem is a replica of the Mind Stone, one of the Infinity Stones, and contains a powerful mental energy.

As long as Mark carries this gem with him, he can avoid being attacked by various forms of mental magic.

Moreover, if he were to crush the gem, all the mental energy within would instantly erupt.

This spiritual energy can destroy the will of the target, making them forever loyal to you.

Upon seeing the counterfeit Mind Stone, Mark's first thought was to use it against Amora.

So Mark didn't hesitate for long before choosing the gem.

Chapter 179 The Clues Exposed

Amora excels at charm magic and teleportation, but she is not particularly strong in combat.

Now that we have a way to control her, dealing with her is naturally much easier.

After making his choice, Mark turned and left the vault, and the vault door was resealed.

"Your Majesty, I want this one."

Back in the palace, Mark took out the gem and showed it to Odin.

Are you sure you want to choose this gem?

Odin saw the gem in Mark's hand and reminded him, "This is only a replica of the Mind Stone. If the other party has too much mental power, this gem may not be able to work."

"It's okay, I'll choose this one."

Mark nodded in confirmation.

Even the real Mind Stone couldn't control a powerful being like Odin, let alone a mere replica.

But if it's only used to deal with Amora, it should be enough.

After bidding farewell to Odin, Mark returned to the palace library and continued reading the books there.

Now that Odin has allowed him to use the Rainbow Bridge, Mark can return to Earth at any time.

But Mark is no longer in a hurry; he plans to finish reading all the books before he leaves.

At his reading speed, he could probably memorize all the books in the entire library in about a month.

The next morning, Thor rushed to the library and found Mark.

"Brother, I heard my father was looking for you yesterday. Are you alright?"

Thor asked with some concern.

In his mind, his father had always been strict and rigid, and he worried that Odin would make things difficult for Mark.

"It's alright, His Majesty the God-King is very generous..."

Mark shook his head and told Thor what had happened yesterday.

"That's good. It seems that Father really didn't mean to make things difficult for you."

Thor breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

However, when he saw the fake Mind Stone that Mark had taken out, he couldn't help but say with some regret, "Brother, why did you choose this? With your strength, this gem probably won't be of much use to you. Why don't I go ask Father to give you a different reward?"

As Thor spoke, he prepared to take Mark directly to Odin.

"no need!"

Mark waved his hand and refused, saying, "Actually, my main purpose in choosing this gem is to deal with Amora..."

Although Thor can act impulsively at times, he is very loyal to his friends.

Mark no longer hid anything from him and told Thor about his feud with Amora.

"So it was this woman who caused all the trouble, that's why you ended up in Jotunheim from Midgard!"

Thor suddenly realized, and said indignantly, "This woman is also wanted by us in Asgard, but I didn't expect her to run to Midgard and continue to do evil!"

After being expelled from Asgard, Amora secretly used charm magic to absorb emotional energy throughout Asgard.

After the incident was exposed, she was wanted throughout Asgard and could only wander around the Nine Realms.

"Thor, I can stay in Asgard for about another month. If you find any trace of Amora, please let me know. I also need to settle my score with this woman."

Mark pleaded with Thor.

"Don't worry, I'll have Heimdall keep an eye out for this woman."

Thor patted his chest and assured him.

Mark then stayed in the library to read magic books, while Thor went to Heimdall and asked him to help find Amora.

Heimdall opened his eyes, which emitted a pale golden light as he looked towards the Nine Realms one by one.

After a moment, he closed his eyes again, shook his head at Thor, and said, "No trace of Amora has been found."

Heimdall's All-Seeing Eye also has limitations; his senses can be blocked by using a magical barrier.

Amora has been wanted by Asgard for so many years yet still manages to evade justice, clearly knowing how to deal with Heimdall's pursuit.

"Continue to track Amora's movements. If you find anything, let me know immediately."

Thor gave Heimdall some instructions.

Thor felt a little embarrassed for not being able to keep his promise to Mark, so he could only ask Heimdall to continue his search diligently.
