"I think the best apology you can give him is to become a king like Odin and protect Asgard." Shen He patted Thor's shoulder. "Get up. There's no time for regret now. You still have a lot to do."
"Thank you, Shen He." Thor stood up from the ground, took Jane's hand, and walked a few steps to catch up.
His gratitude was sincere. Now, besides his newly acquainted girlfriend, he had nothing left and was even losing confidence in himself.
"You don't need to thank me." Shen He sighed inwardly. "I've never doubted your future; I just hope that the mighty Thor arrives a little earlier. Oh, by the way, why don't you get a short haircut? You'd look more energetic."
"No one can touch my hair."
The group gradually walked away. S.H.I.E.L.D. would naturally handle the aftermath here.
In this World, such massacres happen every day, sometimes not even for profit, but purely to vent brutality. Similarly, miracles where brutality is stopped also occasionally occur, such as a certain billionaire who likes to hit and run. So, Coulson was adept at handling such matters.
"Officer, come look at this."
A special forces member suddenly called Coulson over.
It was a Terrorist who had been killed, seemingly the leader, and on his arm was a tattoo.
It was a circle formed by ten intertwined rings, with two crossed long knives in the center of the circle.
That night, a group of people did not return but stayed in this place, sleeping at the S.H.I.E.L.D. military Base.
"Thor, have you ever understood the true power of your father, Odin?"
Shen He sat in front of Thor, surrounded by a large group of people. Coulson would not miss any opportunity to gather more information.
"I don't know." Thor pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Father King is very strong, and has been since I was a child. Even though I am one of Asgard's strongest warriors, I am still powerless against Father King."
This seemed natural to him before, but now that he believed Father King had died, Thor also had to consider how big the gap truly was between himself and Father King.
"That's the problem. You not only lack the temperament of a king, but also the strength of a king. However, according to our Chaldea—" Shen He suddenly paused, glancing at Ryougi Shiki beside him. "According to what we know, your true strength will definitely not be lower than your father Odin's. This is the powerful bloodline passed down in your family."
"Powerful bloodline."
Thor looked at his hands. This was the first time he had heard such a statement.
However, he now fully trusted Shen He, including the Chaldea Shen He spoke of, and even believed they knew many secrets that even Asgard did not.
"You are the God of Thunder." Shen He looked at him very seriously. "The hammer was only used to help you adapt to your own power, but clearly, you've come to see yourself as the God of the Hammer. So, in the time to come, forget your hammer, and strive to comprehend your own power. Battles similar to today's will continue."
"I will try my best."
Thor clenched his fists. For one thing, his former arrogance, which made him deaf to advice, was now gone.
"I believe there are many wise philosophies in Huaxia that are worth learning. In addition, you need to think for yourself how to protect the people and make them believe you can protect them." Shen He slowly gave Thor all the advice he had in mind.
Whether he was deceiving or not, at least his intention to help Thor was sincere.
While Thor was seizing the time to grow, his friends in Asgard were also preparing to rescue Thor.
Odin had fallen into a deep sleep, and Loki became king. Although he was clever, he was not as popular as the naive Thor.
So, after much hesitation, Sif and the others finally found Heimdall, who guarded the Bifrost Bridge.
"Heimdall, we must find Thor."
"Thor is doing well now. Someone is helping him. As for you, what you plan to do includes defying the king's decree and betraying your warrior's oath."
Heimdall was unmoved. His eyes could see every corner of the Nine Realms, including Thor's current situation. He believed Thor was getting better.
"But we don't know what Loki is planning." Sif stepped forward. "He's afraid of Thor's return. The King has fallen into a deep sleep; only Thor can stop him."
"..."
Heimdall thought of Loki's journey to the World of the Frost Giants and how he had blocked his sight.
"I cannot help you open the Bifrost Bridge."
He said this, then turned and left, but the sword that opened the Bifrost Bridge remained.
"Hey, don't run that way, come back!"
Thor rushed over, picked up two children, and ran back. A shell landed precisely where they had just been.
This was a rugged hillside. Just now, a team that had appeared from nowhere surrounded and attacked them, along with a group of ordinary civilians who seemed to be migrating. Fire, artillery, gunshots, and people's terrified screams intertwined everywhere.
"Thor, take them and hide."
Shen He shouted in the communication channel. He was hiding in a pit, carefully observing the enemy's situation.
He couldn't help it; his Shinkirou had been taken by Tony for an upgrade.
"Master."
Violet, beside him, tightly clutched Shen He's sleeve, her meaning clear.
"It's not time yet." Shen He didn't even turn his head.
These people, wherever they came from, even had four armed helicopters, giving them an aerial advantage. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special forces had no anti-air weapons and were unprepared, mostly suppressed by the fierce Firepower, unable to lift their heads, only able to search for cover.
"Qi Mu, can you take care of the armed helicopters?"
"No, the distance is too great, and if I leave, there will be casualties immediately." Qi Mu had been responsible for defense. His psychokinesis wasn't that flexible, and the farther the distance, the weaker its power.
"Then you cover Hawkeye. Are you still alive, Hawkeye?"
Hawkeye, an elite Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., was also here.
"Of course, I'm just being targeted by them."
Hawkeye's voice came through the communication channel.
He and a large group of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents were the main targets of attack. There was a pitiful lack of defensive cover here, so they had been constantly dodging, with no time to breathe and counterattack.
"Now you can charge."
"...I really hope you're joking."
Although he said that, Hawkeye still took a deep breath, took out a prepared high-explosive arrow, nocked it, and rushed out fiercely.
In an instant, all Firepower concentrated on him. However, whether it was bullets, Rockets, or even artillery Fire, all attacks slid away as if hitting an air barrier.
