Chapter 170 Target: Nova Corps
Sif and the others were not stupid. The fighting was so intense and there were continuous flashes of lightning. It was obvious that Mjolnir was showing his power. So they trotted over here, wanting to fight alongside Thor.
They originally thought that Thor had regained Mjolnir's recognition and were excited, but as the distance between them got closer, they were all stunned.
Mjolnir was tied to the waist of a human male they didn't know at all, and Loki, who had just been crowned king, was held in the other's hand like a chicken.
However, Thor, holding Kungunir, demonstrated the ability to fly in the air, which he had never possessed before, which directly overloaded their brains.
They were only separated from Thor for one day, what exactly happened in that period?
Thor laughed loudly: "Levi, they are all my friends, my most loyal partners and comrades, Sif, Vostak, Fandral and Hogun!"
"This is Levi, the guardian of the atrium, a very powerful warrior!"
Sif and others greeted them one after another, and Levi returned the greetings with a smile. It was a matter of politeness.
With just a glance, he completely lost interest in the three warriors: Volstagg, Hogan and Fandral.
In Asgard, they might be considered very famous warriors, but for their current selves, they are too weak.
None of the three of them possess any abilities worth copying; they are just three miscellaneous soldiers.
The only one worth mentioning is probably Sif.
She was nearly meters tall, with strong facial lines and very obvious muscles on her exposed arms. She was a rare big foreign mare, a bit like an enhanced version of Maeve in black robe.
That would be fine, but what's a little different is that she possesses a special divinity, namely, the goddess of land and harvest in Asgard, and she was once a Valkyrie.
Putting Thor down and letting them reunite for a moment, he looked over to Loki.
"I heard her original hair was blonde?"
Loki's eyes flickered: "I didn't expect you knew about this."
"Well, there are many legends about the Asgard in Midgard, although most of them are plausible."
"But those are secondary. The important thing is, have you figured out how to deal with this mess next?"
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Sif easily exposed Loki's lie in just a few words. Odin was not dead at all, but fell into the Odinsleep.
Odin is not truly immortal. Due to his old age, he has to go into hibernation every once in a while, which is called the "Odinsleep".
In the eyes of Sif and others, the reason why Loki told such a big lie was to steal Thor's throne as the King of Gods!
Now, there was undisguised anger in the eyes of the five of them as they looked at Loki.
Even for Loki, this prank was too much!
What else could Loki say? At this point, he could only be stubborn.
"Thor, I deliberately said that the Father God was dead, just to teach you a more profound lesson. Weren't you exiled and your power taken away by the Father God himself? He wanted you to learn something more!"
"Lie, you are just coveting Thor's position!"
"The most famous liar in the Asgard, who would believe your lies?"
"We know you are eloquent, but we will not be fooled by such lies again. Only Thor is the true heir of Asgard!"
The three warriors were passionate for a moment and shouted angrily at Loki, as if they wanted to release all the anger that had been accumulated before.
Although Loki had used some small tricks to save their lives when they were in danger, he usually caused them more trouble.
But Sif did not speak. On the one hand, she was too lazy to waste time talking to Loki. She had already said almost the most vicious words in her life after he shaved off her beautiful golden hair and prevented it from growing again.
On the other hand, she was very surprised to find that Thor, who was usually very reckless, did not join the three warriors in scolding Loki this time, but fell into deep thought.
This is really rare for Thor!
Even just for this reason, it was worth it for Odin to exile Thor to Midgard!
After a brief silence, Thor looked at Loki and said, "You are right, my brother. I should learn something. Maybe I should stay in Midgard for a while."
Originally, he was anxious to see his father God and comfort his mother who must be very sad after hearing about his father God's accidental death.
But now that the facts have proven that those were all Loki's lies, he is not in a hurry anymore.
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Sif, the three warriors, or Loki, they were all shocked and almost doubted their own ears. Is this something Thor could say?
It seems that although the time was short, he really learned something in the atrium. At least, he began to think!
Although Loki was a little unsure in his heart and didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, he had an expression of admiration on his face.
"If father wakes up and finds that you have changed like this, he will surely be very pleased."
Thor couldn't help but chuckle and seemed to have entered into a fantasy.
After all, he and Loki are brothers, and Loki will definitely not harm him.
"Yes, Father God will definitely be proud of me. I will work hard to learn the knowledge of the atrium and see the strong people here."
While speaking, Thor did not forget to look at Levi, indicating to everyone that the other party was the strong man he was referring to.
Being able to gain Mjolnir's recognition and displaying such powerful strength just now, Levi is one of the most powerful men even in Asgard or even in the entire Nine Realms.
But he had never heard of the name of such a strong man before.
He now needs to pay attention to the atrium. Who knows how many similar powerful people there are in the dark?
Even Loki was surprised. Thor actually knew how to be humble?
He became more and more confused, but this did not prevent him from taking advantage of the situation to speak a lot more as a younger brother and the God King of Asgard, mainly to give Thor some kind advice.
For example, since he decided to live in the atrium, he had to follow the laws of the atrium, not cause trouble, and many other details of life.
Thor also kept nodding in response. When he was in Asgard before, countless people helped him take care of this aspect.
If they were going to places like Vanaheim, Sif and the locals would be in charge, and he was not very good at this.
Even though Sif and the others were very reluctant to accept it, strictly speaking this was a family affair between Thor and Loki. They could offer some opinions as friends, but they had no right to truly participate in the decision-making, not to mention that it involved the throne of Asgard.
Levi had already sensed that Loki was using his eloquence to seduce Thor through words, expressions, spells, etc., and he also took the opportunity to appease Sif and others to ensure that they would not cause trouble.
After all, he was only restricting Loki physically, and did not particularly hinder Loki from using other spells.
He was also happy about this. Now they were chatting happily, which gave him enough time to copy. In just a short while, he had successfully copied Loki's vanishing and the gift of strength. Sif, who had nothing to do, finally couldn't help her curiosity.
She first knocked her right fist against her left chest and bowed slightly: "Hello, warrior of the courtyard, I am Sif, I really want to know, how did you get the recognition of Mjolnir?"
Hearing this, the three warriors pricked up their ears at the same time. Thor had boasted about this thing to them many times in the past, or asked them to try it, but they had never been able to shake it in the slightest.
Levi casually picked up the Meowth Hammer and swung it around a few times: "Of course it's because I meet the qualifications for it!"
Who made the rules for Meow Meow Hammer? Odin, now that Odin has let him pick up Meow Meow Hammer, no matter who asks, it's because he meets the qualifications for Meow Meow Hammer!
Sif was speechless. This was totally unreasonable. Before this, only Thor met the so-called qualifications.
Levi also asked back at the right time: "By the way, I have always wanted to travel to outer space. I wonder if Asgard has any contact with the Nova Corps?"
The exact coordinates of the planet where the Power Stone is located are not yet known, and just knowing a name is basically useless.
Because different civilizations or forces have different ways of naming planets.
For example, the Earth. People on Earth think this is the Earth, while the Asgardians call it Midgard. The names in the universe are even more diverse.
The Kree called it C-53, and there was also Gaia, Telan, Holy Terra, and so on.
Without knowing the exact coordinates, just searching blindly, even if he had the ability to teleport, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. He still needed a guide.
Sif nodded readily, "Yes, there are some connections. Asgard's glory and reputation are not limited to the nine kingdoms. We have good relations with Xandar, the Kree and the Shi'ar, etc."
She was talking about several powerful races or forces recognized in the universe. In fact, there was originally a very powerful Skrull who occupied thousands of habitable planets.
However, like Odin, she disliked the race of thieves who were accustomed to stealing other people's appearance, memories and abilities, so Asgard had never established diplomatic relations with them.
And I heard that a few years ago, the Skrulls' main planet, along with its more than 7 billion people, was eaten up in one breath by the famous Devourer of Worlds, and their queen and many high-ranking officials also died as a result.
In order to fight for power, civil war was naturally inevitable, which plunged the Skrulls into long-term chaos.
In addition, the Kree took advantage of the situation and launched a series of fierce attacks. The Skrulls, once one of the three major powers in the universe, have long lost their former glory and have almost become an exiled race like the dark elves. Naturally, she no longer takes them seriously.
Levi chuckled and nodded: "I see, it looks like I'll have to trouble you guys again next."
Thor beside him couldn't help but laugh and said, "You want to go to Xandar? How is that a help? Leave it to me. Although the Rainbow Bridge cannot reach there directly, Asgard still has spaceships that can be used."
Levi was willing to believe this. Although the fighting styles of the people in front of him were like those of the barbarians in the Middle Ages on Earth, the technology of Asgard was still very advanced.
Spacecraft, laser cannons, virtual touch screens, etc. are all available, which is conservatively at least several decades ahead of Earth's technology.
Loki's eyes were wagging. Levi had previously called himself the guardian of the earth, but now he was thinking about going beyond the Nine Realms?
After thinking for a while, Thor continued, "Sif, go back and get my warhorse later. Even if I can't get Mjolnir's approval for the time being, I can't go empty-handed!"
He did not gain Mjolnir's recognition at the beginning. Before that, he used a sharp battle axe called "War Tiger" and rode a war sheep called "Demon Tooth". Now he wants to pick up his old weapons again!
Li Wei's heart was slightly moved. There actually exists a "Zhan Biao" in this world?
In a sense, that thing might be even more powerful than the Meow Hammer.
Because it is specifically designed to restrain the Celestials. In a parallel universe, Thor once used it to kill a Celestial group the size of the Earth - "The Eradicator"!
And unlike Meow Hammer, it has no requirements for use, so it has always been coveted by many super villains who know its power. It is also the prototype of Stormbreaker in the movie.
Compared to Meow Hammer, its only shortcoming is that it only has physical attacks and has no benefits in terms of lightning, etc.
Despite this, Levi had no doubt about its value.
"Thank you very much. I am very interested in the Nova Corps. I wonder how strong they are?"
Sif nodded. "Their combat power is not worth mentioning, but their helmets are very powerful."
Levi was quite surprised by this answer.
In fact, he had known for a long time that this universe was based on the movie universe, supplemented by a small amount of comic universe content. If we were to say which force was the most weakened in the movie universe, it would undoubtedly be the Nova Corps.
The original Nova Corps was a space defense force similar to the Green Lantern of DC next door. Although its main territory was only one planet, Xandar, it was almost on par with cosmic powers such as the Kree Empire, which occupied thousands of habitable planets.
It was all because of the Nova Energy of the Nova Corps, a field of power discovered by their supercomputer - World Consciousness, with nearly infinite internal energy.
Later, World Consciousness found a way to direct the energy out and created a special Nova Helmet.
Even though the physical fitness of the people of Xandar is very average and not much better than that of the people on Earth, once they put on helmets, they can immediately transform into space police.
In addition to comprehensively enhancing strength, physique, defense, speed, etc., flying, energy release, language translation, and cosmic survival are all very basic abilities of the Nova Corps.
Moreover, depending on the distribution of energy, it has several different levels, strengths, or authorities, which are also different.
As for encountering a strong enemy that you cannot defeat, calling for reinforcements through the built-in communication function of the Nova Helmet is a basic operation.
This means that the Nova Corps, which has only 500 official members in total, has brought the entire Andromeda Galaxy under their protection.
Later, because there were many Earthlings among the members, and the appearance of the Xandar people and the Earthlings were exactly the same, plus many other external factors, the Earth in the Milky Way also became one of the protection targets of the Nova Corps.
Although the Earth does not really need this kind of protection, it can undoubtedly save some minor troubles. The Nova Corps' reputation in the universe is still very deterrent.
Moreover, the Nova Helmet can be used as soon as you put it on. If you don’t want to use it, you can just throw the helmet away. There are no negative effects or adverse effects.
If they could really get some helmets from the other party, the safety of Justine, Erica and others would be guaranteed to a certain extent.
Of course, we must not relax on strengthening ourselves either. The Nova Helmet is not a panacea. There are many Novas who died because their helmets were taken off for various reasons.
Moreover, most novae have extremely strong resistance to physical or energy attacks, but in comparison, their resistance to mental or spiritual attacks is obviously much weaker.
After all, before becoming rising stars, they were basically ordinary space militiamen who had received certain training.
In a sense, the abilities possessed by people like Amora, Loki, and Levi are the natural nemesis of each other.
If Levi were to attack Xandar, wouldn't it be like returning home?
Before Levitra could ask more questions, at this moment, accompanied by the sound of sudden brakes, Jane, Daisy and others finally arrived, and Jane immediately ran down to ask Thor about his well-being.
Even though their contact was very brief and she had seen another side of him before, she seemed to have a special feeling for Thor.
Thor also introduced Jane to Sif and the others. Before the three warriors felt anything, Sif and Loki immediately understood that this was another little goblin who was greedy for Thor's body.
This was not uncommon in the past, but what was rare was that Thor seemed to have some special attitude towards this human woman, instead of just playing with her like he did with other women. This immediately gave Sif a strong sense of crisis!
This won't do. If Thor stays in the atrium and lives with this human woman day and night, who knows what might really happen!
Thinking of this, and looking at Thor who was determined to stay on Earth, Sif gritted her teeth and made a very bold decision.
"Thor, I'll stay in the atrium with you!"
