[Golden skill listing 'Second Biological Engine' has been pinpointed. Navigation initiated. Estimated total distance: 87,000 light-years. Path will cross two dimension layers and two World Portals. Expected planetary energy consumption: nine units. Please prepare accordingly and follow the designated route, Host.]
"...Did you get this from Gao De?"
Kei Yamanaka stared at the colorful navigational path only visible to him, stretching straight into the atmosphere, his cheek twitching slightly.
Just how far was that?!
Two dimension layers, two World Portals, nine units of planetary energy...
Luckily, the Marvel universe is brimming with energy.
Since the Primordial Realm exists as another dimensional layer within the Marvel world, and he is intrinsically linked to the entire Primordial Realm, his recovery rate is actually quite decent.
The yuan energy he used the last time to connect two World Portals had already fully replenished.
Otherwise, expending so much energy just for a golden skill listing... he'd—
Well!
At least it's for Angel Yan's sake.
But he doesn't mind doing it.
"Truthfully, I prefer King Hexi though."
Kei Yamanaka murmured inwardly, a tinge of regret in his expression.
He well knew that Hexi, one of the original three Celestial Kings, didn't use a Second Biological Engine. His abilities were entirely dependent on the celestial computer—the Tianji computational system.
His skill-list system would only lock onto either Yan, Zhixin, or Zhuikui.
To be safe—
Kei thought for a moment before returning to Kamar-Taj, then directly consuming seven planetary energy units to forcibly open a World Portal that led straight down into Kamar-Taj's underground chambers deep within the Primordial Realm.
This way, no matter where he was,
should any problem arise on Blue Planet, he could instantly return to Kamar-Taj through the World Portal.
He ordered Wong, Mordo, and Kaecilius—who followed right behind—to guard the portal properly.
Closing his eyes, Kei recalled the image of Odin, King of the Aesir, then raised his right hand—adorned with rings—and sliced through the air, using the All-Father as a reference point to open a spatial gateway.
Indeed, the sorcery of Kamar-Taj, which omitted most spellcasting steps by borrowing the power of the rings, was incredibly strong.
While not as fast as spatial techniques like Otsutsuki Teleportation,
as long as one possessed information about the destination or targeted a being within the Marvel universe, creating an interdimensional space portal was as simple as drawing a circle—albeit at a higher energy cost.
However, this magical technique came with its own set of drawbacks.
Without a clear target, or if the target wasn't a being from this world,
it could only clumsily generate spatial portals in a continuous forward direction.
87,000 light-years?
Kei wouldn't be dumb enough to keep drawing circles all the way.
Why not tap into the Bifrost Bridge's power instead, reaching the destination marked by the system in one swift motion?
Flickering sparks danced within the space portal.
Though clearly aligned with Odin's coordinates, the All-Father himself failed to appear.
Standing before the portal was Queen Frigga, clad in opulent royal robes. Her naturally curly hair had been meticulously groomed, giving her an elegant and noble appearance.
Though time had etched its marks upon her face, this queen exuded a quiet grace and gentle charm that naturally inspired goodwill in all who beheld her.
"Sorcerer Supreme, Odin is currently at rest. Any anchoring magic will be redirected to me."
A modest, gentle smile graced Queen Frigga's lips.
She gracefully raised the hem of her gown and dipped into a respectful curtsy.
"I have yet to thank you for looking after Thor. I believe that child will experience significant growth following this incident."
"Your Majesty flatters me. It was but a minor task."
Kei Yamanaka returned the gesture with a slight bow, hands pressed together in a traditional sorcerer's salute.
He said nothing of the orders he had given to the bald Black agent.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't even reached Thor's location yet. By the time they did, once they apprehended him, subjected him to harsh interrogations, and began drawing his blood for testing, he would already be long gone from the Blue Planet—who cared what happened then?
"May I inquire as to the reason for your visit today, Sorcerer Supreme?"
"I wish to borrow the Bifrost Bridge to travel to an unknown realm. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to use it now."
"Of course. It is our honor as Asgardians."
Without hesitation, Queen Frigga offered a serene smile and extended her hand in welcome.
"In that case, I shall take my leave."
Stepping forward, Kei Yamanaka entered the spatial gateway.
With a flick of his finger, the portal vanished, leaving behind only the underground secret techniques training chamber of Kamar-Taj.
Wong, Mordo, and Kaecilius watched silently as the gateway disappeared, simultaneously exhaling in relief.
They exchanged glances, then shared a bitter chuckle in unison.
As three of Kamar-Taj's most renowned sorcerers, they had thoroughly humiliated themselves this time.
Right now, forums across the Wizardry Alliance were already filled with numerous posts detailing the Demigod Trials.
The posts not only recounted personal experiences but also meticulously detailed the environment, weaponry, hazards, and the grisly fates of many wizards.
Being well-known secret technique practitioners, the trio became the subject of heated debates among countless wizards.
Some despised them for dying so pathetically, while others argued in their defense.
If, in the next Demigod Trial, the Sorcerer Supreme cast them into the fray without a dazzling display, then in the future, none of them might ever regain their dignity in the wizarding world!
"For Kamar-Taj."
Wong solemnly spoke first.
"For the honor of secret technique practitioners."
Mordo nodded firmly.
"For glory and victory."
Kaecilius clenched his fists tightly.
With their resolve set, the trio dove headfirst into seeking mentors to master modern weaponry—one headache after another.
At the edge of the Nine Realms connected through the World Tree,
Kei Yamanaka, having crossed two dimensional spaces using the power of the Bifrost Bridge, watched as the fading Bifrost light danced across the sky, his gaze heavy with contemplation.
He was now certain that everything that had happened in Asgard had been meticulously orchestrated by Odin himself—be it the slaying of Laufey or the trial of Thor.
"But honestly, how does this have anything to do with me?" Kei Yamanaka scratched his head.
Laufey, the Frost Giant King, hadn't even been one of his subordinates. They had once crossed blades, and whether he lived or died meant little to him. After all, Laufey was fated to die regardless—a figure whose existence held almost no bearing on the timeline. Even saving him wouldn't bring much reward.
So why waste time?
As for Thor, the Thunder God—if there was one thing he thrived on, it was battle. Having been hunted by several Ten Rings operatives during this Demigod Trial, he'd probably be eager to join future trials. Changing his fate shouldn't be difficult at all!
After thinking it through, Kei Yamanaka set aside his wandering thoughts and focused his gaze on the space before him.
Activating the radiant skill listing [Soaring Through All Heavens], he forcefully surged through Marvel's World Portal along the system's marked path!
Traversing chaotic, fractured spacetime.
In just a few minutes, he reached the location designated by the system navigation.
Before him loomed a completely intact World Barrier—not a single fissure in sight—and the navigation marker showed less than five meters' distance.
Now Kei understood why the navigation demanded a full nine planetary energy units!
The navigation actually wanted him to forcibly open a World Portal!
Damn!
Just go straight through?!
Pressing both palms against the World Barrier before him,
While enduring chaotic spatial turbulence attacks, Kei began to use massive amounts of yuan energy to activate [Soaring Through All Heavens] and forcibly begin opening a World Portal!
Yuan energy clashed and tore at the barrier, warping its protective force repeatedly!
No one knew exactly how long passed.
It felt like metal bent repeatedly until nearing its breaking point.
Suddenly, the World Barrier erupted open with a crackling roar.
And under the power of [Soaring Through All Heavens], the crack gradually widened into a passage large enough for a person to walk through.
Yet, before Kei could step into the World Portal leading to the Superman realm,
A blade shimmering with golden-red flames slashed out suddenly, just grazing his left waist as it began an upward diagonal cut!
"That style… Was it Zhuikui again...?"
Kei caught the flaming sword mid-swing with his left hand, halting the upward slash.
Noticing the flame-wreathed blade already starting to erode in the spatial turbulence,
Sensing the force from the hilt vanish—realizing his opponent had already released the weapon and retreated—he conjured a yuan-energy armor around his body and dove headfirst into the World Portal ahead.
"Void-born... Shenhe Body?"
Angel Yan gazed at the man floating beyond Blue Planet's atmosphere, holding the severely worn flaming sword. Her eyes narrowed slightly, glowing with a faint white sheen.
She had already reported via Queen Kaiza's dark energy communication channel and uploaded all footage of the unknown void fluctuations detected beyond Blue Planet's atmosphere at the earliest opportunity.
The companion angel sisters had already scattered and fled at her command.
Queen Kaissa was far from her now.
There was no chance of stronger reinforcements arriving in time!
If this Void-born lifeform with the Shenhe Body had ill intentions, then given the sheer strength it showed by crushing a flame sword barehanded and wearing it down so much in such a short time—
She might not make it out alive today!
"I'm human—or rather, a Dimensional Demon God. My name is Shan Zhongjing. Beautiful angel miss, please stop scanning me with that Byakugan stare."
Kei Yamanaka casually flung the flaming sword toward Angel Yan.
He then looked down beneath Blue Planet's atmosphere. Seeing the massive spatial rifts still forming, he instantly realized—he was at the very start of the original storyline.
"...I can't detect any genetic data from you."
Angel Yan remained wary.
Even if the other party hadn't shown hostility, that burst of Void energy wasn't fake!
"Our life forms are fundamentally different. Not just you—even if your Secondary Biological Engine reaches peak efficiency, you still won't be able to scan me."
"Not quite."
"Explaining this is a bit complicated. Would you mind taking this somewhere more private?"
