Chapter 24 - Chapter 24

"So, what happened?"

Fury asked, his eyes staring at Tobi as if he was about to devour him whole.

"Please don't look at me like that! I am very shy about my appearance."

Tobi showed a cute expression as he tried to look away from Nick.

Seeing this, the frustration on Fury's face only grew.

On the side, Tony couldn't contain his laughter.

While Steve was able to hold his, Natasha joined Tony in his laughter.

"Mr. Tobi, Earth is about to be invaded. I know your Lord needs souls for every transaction, but a war is about to happen."

"Can you at least tell us what happened here and with Jane Foster?"

Tobi sighed.

"You are no fun, Nick. You should get angry when someone does a funny thing in a serious moment."

"I don't have time for anger. I need answers."

Fury was forcefully holding down his anger. So, his statement was half-correct.

"Well, how should I put it? I don't need to explain Convergence, right?"

Tobi asked.

Everyone shook their heads. While he was busy in another dimension, they had already discussed the Convergence.

Even Steve, who joined later, knew a few things about it.

"So, a long time ago, Thor's grandad sealed a powerful artifact in a space between realities, making sure that Dark Elves will never get their hands on it."

"But because of this Convergence, that artifact was released and entered Jane's body."

"Normally, the energy of that artifact would be enough to kill her in just a few months, but I have controlled that with my Lord's powers."

"Of course, that isn't your problem yet. So, the war…"

Before he continued, Fury chimed in.

"So, Dark Elves want that artifact. But why? What can they achieve with this artifact?"

Tobi placed his finger on his chin and turned towards Thor, who replied.

"Dark Elves will use Aether to pull the universe into primordial darkness. Without light, you can understand how bad life in the universe will be."

Before anyone could react, Tobi clicked his tongue.

"Tsk! Tsk! You are overestimating those guys. I admit they are powerful, and with Reality Stone, they can achieve something, but it is just one Infinity Stone."

"Not to mention, outside the Nine Realms, even within the Nine Realms, there are many people who will and can stop them."

"Of course, the problem would be the death toll on humans. That's the one reason why you need to fight."

Steve Rogers turned his eyes to him and asked.

"We? Does this mean you will not participate in this battle?"

"Me? Why would I do that?"

Tobi gave him a strange look and waved his hands.

"I am not my brother. He is a crazy person talking about peace and acceptance. I just work for my Lord because of his high pay."

Steve wanted to open his mouth and convince Tobi, but the fact that he called his own brother crazy made him realize he couldn't convince Tobi.

More importantly, even if he could, that Dimensional Lord might not even allow them to participate.

"So, this Infinity Stone? What is it? You said it's just one Infinity Stone? How many are there? Can we find them? Can humans use their powers?"

Tony asked. He was very curious about these stones that could fundamentally bring darkness to the world.

Even Nick Fury was curious about it.

This time, Tobi didn't need to reply. Thor had some knowledge of Infinity Stones, so he explained.

"Infinity Stones are six powerful items that were born from the energy of the Big Bang."

"They are said to have infinite energy. Each stone has a complete reign over a certain aspect of the universe."

"Time, Space, Reality, Power, Soul, and Mind. With these six stones, one could potentially create and destroy the universe."

"Unfortunately, no one has ever managed to gather all six infinity stones."

When they heard that, they were stunned.

Fury immediately connected one of the infinity stones with the Tesseract. After all, it was said to have infinite energy.

"So, Earth has a powerful item like that in the hands of an ordinary woman?"

Tony asked.

"Actually, Earth has three."

Tobi answered.

But he didn't explain, so Fury had no choice but to answer.

"I believe Tesseract is one of the Infinity Stones. Shield has it. But what about the third stone?"

"Ahh! I remember this. Father kept the Tesseract on Earth a long time ago. But how can there be a third stone in a small planet like Earth?"

Thor slapped his forehead.

"Tsk! You and your brother are both too arrogant. You are arrogant because you are naive. He is arrogant because he has too much pride."

"Asgard is only protecting Earth from the Material World. Earth is protecting Asgard and Nine Realms from dimensional threats."

"And the Sorcerer Supreme holds the Time Stone. In other words, Reality, Time, and Space stones are on Earth."

Tobi sneered.

While he wasn't arrogant enough to say Earth was protecting the universe, he was sure that Earth was at least protecting Nine Realms.

Otherwise, how do two of the Infinity Stones remain safe on Earth for thousands of years?

"Wow! Sorcerer Supreme seems quite an amazing person." Tony whistled.

"Yes, she is."

Steve nodded his head.

Hearing this, Tobi froze and narrowed his eyes.

"You have met her, Captain."

Steve gave him a complicated look and sighed.

"Let's just say we had a discussion. Anyway, let's focus on our enemy. Thor, do you know any weaknesses of Dark Elves?"

Thor shook his head.

"They don't have any inherent weakness."

Just when they were discussing, a bright rainbow light fell next to them.

As the light slowly dissipated, four people and a large robot appeared on stage.

"Sif, Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg, why are you here? And, why did you bring Destroyer here?"

"It seems like you still haven't grown up, Thor."

A haughty voice came from the Destroyer, which startled Thor.

But Thor reacted quickly and asked.

"Loki, why are you controlling Destroyer?"

"Are you so dumb to realize this, Thor? I have become King of Asgard. Father has given me the glorious mission to keep Nine Realms safe."

Hearing that, Tobi narrowed his eyes.

How could Loki change his mind all of a sudden? He knew nobody in Asgard wanted him to be the King.

But he seemed absolutely confident in himself to complete this glorious mission.

Was it because of the Destroyer Armor?

Or, does Loki have a deeper scheme?

"Thor, Dark World has invaded Nine Realms. It has already invaded Asgard and freed their prisoners."

"All-Father Odin woke up from his Odin sleep just to push back the invasion of the Dark World."

Hearing Sif's words, Thor's eyes widened.

His father had fallen in Odin's sleep.

Doesn't that mean his father was approaching his end?

He took a deep breath and turned his head towards Fury.

"I need to take back my hammer now."

Fury stared at the man for a moment before he signaled Coulson to take Thor away.

"Thor, where are you going?"

"I'm sorry, my friends. I am now just a mortal without my hammer. I need to get my hammer because I can rejoin you in battle."

Thor answered before leaving.

"Tch! Even till now, he simply believes he needs that Hammer." Tobi clicked his tongue and turned towards Fury.

"Hey Fury, if that big loaf can't pick up his hammer, do you think I should sign a contract with him for awakening his power?"

Fury gave him a strange look and asked.

"Why are you saying that to me?"

"Because if Odin suddenly gets angry that his son has signed a contract with Dimensional Lord, he will attack Earth."

"But isn't that your Lord who will sign the contract with him?" Fury broke out, sweat from his forehead as he asked.

"But he can't beat my Lord."

Tobi waved his hand.

"Who are you? You have disrespected Thor and All-Father Odin." Sif pointed her sword at Tobi and asked coldly.

"Wow! I am so scared."

Tobi showed a tearful look as he walked forward.

But the sword didn't even touch him until he phased through Sif and walked in front of the Destroyer.

Until he passed through, Sif couldn't believe what had just happened.

Not just her, even her friends and newly formed Avengers were stunned.

It was clear that Tobi was walking there, but his body simply passed through. And, it wasn't like he disappeared or phased through her.

"Hey Loki, was Frigga injured in the Dark Elves' invasion?"

"How do you know that?"

Before Loki could reply, Hogan turned back and shouted in shock.

They hadn't mentioned anything about Frigga.

Hearing that, Loki's expression on Asgard changed.

"Idiot!"

He cursed, but Tobi's next words stunned him.

"Do you really think he will help you and Thor fight Dark Elves for a so-called glorious mission?"

"He only joined this battle because Frigga was injured, isn't that right, Loki?"

Clap! Clap!

"You have successfully changed your fate once. Would you like to sell your soul to my Lord? He can completely change your fate."
