Okay," Ryougi Shiki nodded. "Anyway, I don't have any goals, nothing I want to do."
Although her mood had relaxed a little during this time, Ryougi Shiki's heart was still empty, only firming her resolve not to let down [Ori].
"Then let's leave here. Today is a good day, very suitable for discharge."
Shen He was not surprised by Ryougi Shiki's reply. He clicked the exit button, and his figure dissipated into starlight.
Taking off the helmet, he stood up. As Ryougi Shiki on the bed swayed to get up, he pulled open the curtains, and the soft morning sunlight shone into the room.
He turned around and found Ryougi Shiki holding his helmet with her palms, swaying it left and right, but she just couldn't take it off.
Shen He walked over, a little amused, wanting to help her take off the helmet.
However, the next moment, the helmet shattered into pieces.
Ryougi Shiki's eyes gleamed with an alluring blue light, yet their centers were as deep as a black hole.
She looked around at everything in a daze; all objects, even her own palms and her own body, were densely covered with dark lines like cracks.
Although she had already learned about the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception from Shen He, at the moment she saw it with her own eyes, only fear surged in her heart.
The one thing she couldn't bear was to fall into that darkness again.
"Are you alright?"
Shen He also noticed Ryougi Shiki's abnormality.
He leaned in front of Ryougi Shiki, looking at her with some concern, but suddenly, Ryougi Shiki grabbed his hand tightly.
"No, you don't have them on you."
In Ryougi Shiki's vision, the entire World, only Shen He's body was colored, not covered with those dark lines.
"...No Lines of Death?" Shen He clasped Ryougi Shiki's small hand in return, gently comforting her, "Relax, you can turn off this power, and don't worry, a Servant cannot harm their Master."
Shen He himself would, of course, die and get injured. If there was any reason Ryougi Shiki couldn't see the Lines of Death on him, it could only be the Servant's inability to harm the Master's prohibition.
After the initial discomfort and fear, Ryougi Shiki gradually calmed down. With a deep breath, that World full of 'death' finally slowly faded away.
She looked around; it was a very simple room, and a delicate girl stood by the bed, her silky golden hair gleaming in the sunlight.
"How do you feel now?" Shen He let go of her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. "Try to move around and see."
"I feel..." Ryougi Shiki moved her arm, and the air suddenly whistled. "This doesn't feel like my body."
"Because I've been strengthening you all along," Shen He said with a smile, standing up and extending his hand. "So, welcome back to the real World, Shiki."
At this point, Shen He had three companions by his side.
Without much fanfare, he simply summoned Saiki Kusuo, and with Violet, the four of them held a small party to celebrate Ryougi Shiki's awakening. Shen He personally cooked a table full of delicacies, including Qi Mu's favorite coffee pudding and Violet's favorite strawberry cake.
Of course, there was also Shen He's favorite hotpot.
"Wow, indeed, the most enjoyable thing in life is a delicious, hearty meal." Shen He swallowed, staring at the lamb in the pot, then turned to Ryougi Shiki beside him and asked, "Shiki, just say whatever you like to eat? You're the star today."
"I don't like spicy food."
Ryougi Shiki looked at the hotpot in front of her, whose broth had turned entirely red.
...I should have made a Double-boiled hot pot (Yuan-yang pot, a hotpot with two different broths), but fortunately, I came prepared." Shen He stood up and ran into the kitchen. When he came out again, he was holding a pot of steaming chicken soup. "Ta-da! This is my masterpiece! Back in the day, I captured the hearts of several foodies with this chicken soup."
Shen He put large chunks of potatoes and carrots into the chicken soup. After they were cooked until soft, he imagined taking a bite, mixed with the rich chicken soup, melting in his mouth, and his mouth began to water.
Ryougi Shiki watched as Shen Fu filled a bowl of chicken soup for her, and finally understood the difference between him and the young man in her memory.
She was not good at dealing with such overly familiar types.
However... she took a small sip with a spoon. It was indeed delicious.
"Didn't you say you needed my power for something?"
Perhaps feeling it wasn't good to simply accept care, Ryougi Shiki proactively asked about work.
"Yes, we're going to Mexico tomorrow, just the four of us. The enemy might be an automated armor called the Destroyer, or even a 'God,'" Shen He said while eating lamb. "However, even if we don't intervene, it should be perfectly resolved in the end. So we'll discuss the specifics when we get there. My goal is to become an existence qualified to interfere with the family affairs of Odin, the King of Gods."
Preventing the destruction of Asgard was what Shen He planned to do.
Both in terms of strength and scope, Asgard far surpassed Earth. It possessed advanced technology, powerful warriors, mystical magic, and was even considered a leader among civilizations throughout the Universe.
Yet, such a brilliant civilization ultimately perished in a royal civil war, which couldn't help but make one sigh with regret.
To change Asgard's future, one must start with Odin's complicated family.
"With such a goal, you should try your best to strengthen me," Saiki Kusuo's voice appeared in everyone's mind, "because we will face extremely powerful enemies."
"You can strengthen me first," Ryougi Shiki suddenly put down her spoon and said coldly, "Even if it's a God, I'll kill it for you to see."
"Master."
Violet also tugged at Shen He's sleeve, the meaning in her eyes very clear.
It's here, it's here, the legendary Servant vying for favor.
Shen He, with a face full of happiness, waved his hand, "I will nurture each and every one of you well, so for now, let's eat."
Puente Antiguo, New Mexico.
Looking at the plot of the Marvel movie "Thor," it mainly tells the story of Thor, who provoked an ancient war with his reckless behavior, was stripped of his divine power by Odin, exiled to the mortal realm, and ultimately learned how to be a true hero.
This was why Shen He didn't choose to come so early, because he didn't want to see Thor, who was still purely a brute.
By the time the four of them arrived at this western town, it was already the third day of Thor's exile.
Thor, who learned from his brother Loki that his father had been angered to death by him, fell into pain and self-reproach, even becoming disheartened, accepting the fact of his exile, and preparing to live a short life as a mortal.
So he began to enjoy his romantic life with his new girlfriend.
"Is this guy really exiled?" Shen He couldn't help but complain.
Because not far in front of him, outside the RV, the blonde strongman Thor was making barbecue with his new girlfriend, as if glued together and deeply in love. His tender gaze, the occasional happy glances they exchanged, and the smiles on their faces exuded a strong scent of public displays of affection.
