Until boarding the Harrow spaceship, the female companions were still confused.
"Master?" This time it was the green-haired beauty Fenris who asked.
"Yes." Wu Chen also knew what she wanted to ask.
"So, the Collector and his brother invited you to the Saka Gladiator Tournament to remind you that the allies behind the Dark Elf King come from another dimension?"
"The dark lord Dormammu is not necessarily an 'ally'. He is probably the real master of the dark elves, and the dark elf king Malekith is just one of his many 'agents' from other worlds." Wu Chen replied.
"By the way, how did King Bor describe the dark elves?" Lingdie suddenly asked.
"King Bor said: 'There was darkness long before the birth of light, and the darkness gave birth to the dark elves as early as the birth of the world. Malekith, the most ruthless among them, is trying to use ether particles, a kind of infinite destruction. ancient power to transform our universe into an eternal night.'" The White Queen always has a good memory.
"What did King Bor say about Watt Alheim, the Kingdom of Mist?" Lingdie asked again.
"King Bor said: 'Asgard and the other inhabitants of the Nine Realms call Wat Alheim the 'Dark World,' while the Dark Elves themselves call it 'Harudheen.' .Located in a galaxy almost completely corroded by dark matter, the only visible light in Watt Alheim originates from a black hole.'" The White Queen answered patiently again.
However, in the era of King Odin, the protector of the nine realms, Wat Alheim in Odin's mouth became: "The dark world is nothing but a desolate land that echoes the ghosts of dead warriors. It is not the same as the one that once lived in The Dark Elves among them are now just shadows of a forgotten age."
Not long ago, Wu Chen personally arrived in the swamp of the Kingdom of Mist. This planet, with a black hole as the only source of visible light, at least has a complete ecosystem and is not at all as desolate as it will be 5,000 years later.
So, it's predictable. The Kingdom of Mist is destroyed by the upcoming Nine Realms War.
"Why are ether particles that can convert any matter into dark matter called 'reality stones'?" This is something Psylocke has never figured out.
"'Ideals shine into reality'." Wu Chen expressed his understanding: "As one of the raw stones of the universe, the most powerful ability of ether is to change reality to match the host's wishes. Malekith wants to use ether to transform the universe All matter in it corrodes into dark matter, restoring all creation to its original dark state. So the Reality Stone faithfully realizes his ideal."
"In other words, if the next host of the ether particles, the 'reality illuminated by the ideal,' does not return the universe to the original darkness, will the ether also lose the ability to corrode all matter into dark matter?"
Lingdie said it without intention, but Wu Chen listened with intention.
"The next host of Ether." With this thought in his mind, Wu Chen suddenly realized; "So that's it..."
"What's wrong, Master?" Storm, who was piloting the Harrow spaceship and flying out of Death Skull's eye socket, thought that something big had gone wrong and she had to return.
"It's okay, just keep flying. I think I know the breaking point of this plot." Wu Chen's mood was as enlightened as if he had traveled through the eyes of a dead skull.
"The next host of Ether?" The White Queen keenly grasped the key point.
"That's right." Wu Chen smiled happily.
As the first life to be born in the dim light of the eternal night, the civilization level of the dark elves, especially the technological line, far exceeds that of the Nine Realms. The Ark Star Fleet, which uses dark matter as its energy source, was supposed to be an invincible fleet spanning the nine realms. However, he was pinned to the ground and rubbed by the mythical Asgard. No way, this is the first-mover advantage.
No wonder the Dark Elf King Malekith was dissatisfied. Black technology is more advanced than all civilizations in the Nine Realms. Not to mention possessing the Reality Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones, the Dark Elves are all soldiers and are born for war. What's more, there is the dark master Dormammu behind him, who is the master of the entire plane!
Adding up all the advantages, how did the dark elves lose this battle that stirred up the nine realms?
This is also the question that Wu Chen has been harboring since he woke up from the memory chain of the cursed Witch Queen.
Although Wu Chen also wanted to believe it, Asgard did not have an interstellar fleet of the same size as the Dark Elf Ark Fleet. This is obviously true. That's why Wu Chen worked non-stop, personally involved in danger, and almost single-handedly helped the Fire Giant and Frost Giant join the Nine Realms Alliance in Asgard. The purpose is simple, to gain an overwhelming strategic advantage by using the simplest method of stacking heads.
However, without dealing with the huge Ark fleet of the Dark Elves, the heavy price to pay for the landing operation directly via the Rainbow Bridge is almost difficult to estimate. This is like fighting a beach landing against a defensive line lined with bunkers during World War II. The Normandy landings, known as the "meat grinder of World War II," are enough to illustrate this. What's more, what's hanging overhead is not machine guns or howitzers, but the invincible starship of the dark elves. A single volley of death rays will evaporate the entire Asgardian front in an instant. Those warriors who were arm-in-arm with Wu Chen in the Hall of Heroes will be destined to have no bones left. How can flesh and blood resist the Armada!
Until today, Wu Chen finally understood where Asgard's invincible fleet was hidden. I also understand why Asgard is called Asa.
Leaping out of hyperspace, beautiful Asgard is right in front of you.
Heimdall, who knew everything and knew everything, immediately whispered the news of the safe return of King Bor and Lord Ximu.
Walking all the way from the Rainbow Bridge, it seemed that everyone was already in place, except for Wu Chen.
The fire giant Surtur, who arrived first carrying the eternal fire, and the frost giant Laufey, who held the ancient winter coffin, have also been waiting in the Hall of Valor for a long time. Waiting for Wu Chen to fulfill his sacred obligation as a "witness to the nine realms". This was also a ceremony that had been agreed upon before and required Wu Chen to attend.
"Good day, my majesty." Wu Chen led his female companion into the palace to salute.
"Good day, my lord." King Bor's face glowed red. Today is a big event in the Nine Realms.
Wu Chen also paid tribute to the flame giant Surtur and the frost giant Laufey.
A brief handover ceremony began soon. Wu Chen first took over the ancient winter coffin from the frost giant Laufei and handed it to King Bor, who in turn handed it to the flame giant Surtur. Wu Chen then took over the eternal fire from the flame giant Surtur and handed it to King Bol, who in turn handed it to the frost giant Laufey. Cycle like this. It was finally placed in the colonnades on both sides of the Hall of Valor. Finally, it was firmly sealed by the energy shield.
The three families agreed to take it back after defeating the dark elves.
At the end of the ceremony, King Bor held up the Eternal Spear (Gungnir), Surtur held the Sword of Twilight, and Laufey formed an ice blade with his arm. The three magic weapons from their respective worlds were born from the birth of the Nine Realms. together for the first time.
Amid the cheers of the Asgardians, the all-knowing Heimdall blew the horn of war.
With almost no hesitation, the letter of challenge from the Nine Realms Alliance was sent to Watt Alheim by the Asgard envoy.
He was torn to pieces on the spot by the Dark Elf King.
Malekith ordered. The Dark Elf Ark starship, which was swimming in the vast universe, jumped out of the sky and built a planetary defense network around Watt Alheim. Densely packed long guns and short cannons were all aimed at the Asgard star field. It is guaranteed that the Asgardian coalition will never come back.
Whether the power of the Rainbow Bridge can penetrate the planetary defense network constructed by the Ark starship, not to mention the Dark Elf King Malekith, even King Bor is not completely sure.
But it didn't hinder the King of Asgard, who walked to the center of the military formation wearing a strong sword. The Asgardian army, which was lined up from the square in front of the Hall of Valor to the Super Rainbow Bridgehead, was ready to go and was as powerful as a rainbow.
"Stand still, my lord." King Bol laughed loudly.
"Okay, my majesty." Wu Chen was also full of expectations.
The time has come to witness the miracle.
