Chapter 159: The Script Premieres

  (If you find the Marvel chapters a bit off, I suggest jumping straight to the next world. The last few chapters are free to read, so feel free to check them out.)



  "Pay attention. The man drinking over there is named Xiao Shuai."

  "He's not just any man; he's the legendary Thor of Norse mythology."

  "Xiao Shuai's father is the supreme god Odin, his mother is the queen Frigg, and his brother is the mischievous Loki. From a young age, Xiao Shuai was told by his father that he would become the next god king."

  "In his hand, he wields the mighty Mjolnir, the treasure of Asgard. With Mjolnir, Xiao Shuai is invincible on the battlefield. His father immediately held a victory feast in his honor, preparing to name him the next king soon."

  "But the arrival of the mage Luk disrupted his path to the throne. Luk easily defeated the unbeatable Xiao Shuai, leaving him to drown his sorrows in alcohol. When Xiao Shuai woke up, he found himself in a strange world..."

  Loki read each word of Luk's script, his face growing increasingly grim. His heart sank, "Is this the carefully crafted script you've been working on?"

  "I can't leave Asgard because if I leave, you have to leave too. I can't interfere with Thor and Sif's minds because true love must be natural. Everything must happen within two days. With so many constraints, I had to think of something else."

  Luk coughed nervously, "These two have been together for so long that they're too familiar with each other. They need to be separated for a while."

  "Besides, they've lived in Asgard for thousands of years. They know every inch of this place. The date must take place somewhere else."

  Luk paused, "I also need a special venue to manipulate time, otherwise, two days is too short."

  "I can handle the time aspect."

  "No way! I can't let you do that. I'll take care of it!"

  Luk firmly refused, then added, "The best part is coming up."

  A green light swept over the script, and Loki's expression softened slightly, "Why can't I trust you?"

  "Trust me, if they can't get together, then it's just not meant to be."

  Loki: You're saying the same thing as not saying anything.

  "Let's get started."

  "Sure thing!"

  Luk drew a portal, appearing near the Ancient One's chambers. He called out loudly, "Ancient One, open the door!"

  "You have the power to take the Eye of Agamotto, but you can't open a door?"

  There was no response, but Luk didn't give up. He continued to call out, "Ancient One, if you don't open the door, I'll ask Odin for help. As a Supreme Sorcerer, you should protect your successor, not make him seek help from others. Your reputation and dignity will be ruined!"

  After a long pause, the Ancient One emerged with a dark expression, "What do you want?"

  Luk lifted his chin, "I need the Time Stone. Will you give it to me or not?"

  "No!"

  "I'm helping someone important, and this is their wish. Are you sure you won't give it to me?"

  Ancient One: ...

  The little brat, relying on someone else's power. She was a renowned Supreme Sorcerer, and she wouldn't be intimidated by a mere Loki. Wasn't he just the Storyteller, the one who bore the weight of all the multiverse's timelines?

  "Fine, you can have it!"

  With the most aggressive tone, she said the most cowardly words and took the Eye of Agamotto from her chest, throwing it to Luk.

  "I'm only giving this to you because you're the next Supreme Sorcerer. It has nothing to do with the Storyteller. I have connections, more than one!"

  "Right, right, right!"

  Luk nodded absentmindedly, happily hanging the Eye of Agamotto around his neck, and quickly teleported away, giving the Ancient One no chance to change her mind.

  Reappearing before Loki, they exchanged glances. Loki stepped forward and spoke softly.

  "The physical decline and the chaos of divine power within Odin's body force him to enter a regular period of hibernation."

  "Although Luk defeated Thor, Odin's proudest son, the emotional disturbance is still present, even if it's not visible on the surface."

  "Thus, his divine power shows signs of instability, and he needs to enter hibernation early. Queen Frigg must also guard the weakened Odin."

  "That's reasonable."

  As Loki spoke, Odin's divine power fluctuated more dramatically from his distant palace. He frowned and called for Frigg.

  "I need to enter hibernation early."

  "So sudden," Frigg said, a bit surprised and worried. As a witch, she could see the truth, but some invisible force was clouding her judgment.

  "I will guard you. You don't need to attend the banquet. I'll have the guards escort the Supreme Sorcerer and his successor."

  "I promised to give the mage Luk a treasure. Make sure someone brings it to him."

  Odin's eyelids drooped. He had a premonition that something was amiss with this hibernation, but he didn't receive any mental warnings. He managed to give one last instruction before closing his eyes.

  By keeping Odin and Frigg occupied, Luk could proceed without any obstacles.

  Loki continued, "At this moment, a chaotic event is happening on Earth, which has drawn most of Heimdall's attention. Since Asgard's barrier is intact and hasn't triggered any alarms, Heimdall hasn't noticed the abnormality in Asgard."

  "Chaos on Earth?"

  Luk looked at Loki with surprise. He had only been gone for two days. What kind of chaos could attract Heimdall's attention?

  Loki didn't explain, but gestured for Luk to proceed.

  "Being mysterious..."

  Luk muttered, and the portal opened. Sif walked through, looking surprised.

"Is this the teleportation magic of the Inner Court? It looks so convenient."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Luk nodded politely, "You haven't been to the Inner Court in the past few decades, right?"

"No," Sif recalled, "The last time I went was several hundred years ago."

"That might make it a foreign world to you. You need to go ahead of Thor to adapt to life there, and then guide him on how to live."

Luk gave a few instructions, then a thought struck him, "By the way, how smart are you? Could you get a Ph.D.? Thor might prefer an intellectual woman."

"Ph.D.? What's that, a new type of soldier?"

Sif frowned, looking a bit confused.

"…Never mind, I'm overthinking it."

Luk's lips twitched; he had forgotten that Sif was a combat specialist.

To become a Warrior of Asgard as a woman, besides Thor not caring about gender, it was crucial that she had the strength. She had survived in "Thor 4" against the Godslayer, after all.

Typically, those with well-developed bodies have simpler minds because their physical prowess can solve many problems.

Luk's body slowly ascended, "Domain Unleashed—Secret Assassin Nation!"

This spell, derived from the Yuki bloodline, is called "Secret Assassin." As the name suggests, it is a specialized attack that deals more damage the more mysterious the target is.

If the target is a mystical being like an elf, fairy, or demon, the damage is doubled. If the target is a celebrated deity, the power is even greater.

When this spell is used to create a domain, Luk shapes it to seal and suppress. In the Secret Assassin Nation, everyone with mystical powers, except the caster, will be suppressed, with the degree of suppression depending on their level of mysticism.

There are two types of people who remain unaffected: those whose strength far exceeds Luk's, surpassing the suppression limit, and those whose mystical power is outweighed by their combat strength. For example, a protagonist in a novel who can fight across realms.

A twelve-mile radius domain rapidly engulfed the surrounding space, swallowing Sif before disappearing.

Luk then placed his right hand on the Eye of Agamotto.

The Time Stone's immense power, filtered through the container, was not chaotic. Although it still required a certain skill level, Luk was far beyond that, and using a single gem posed no issue for him.

Green light flickered, and time within the domain accelerated wildly, as if someone had pressed fast-forward. In just ten minutes, Luk felt as if a month had passed within the domain.

Conversely, the seemingly endless energy within him was being drained at an alarming rate to maintain the accelerated time. For the first time, Luk felt a shortage of energy.

Luk wiped the sweat from his forehead, stopping his control over the Eye of Agamotto. The energy consumption instantly decreased, and he began to recover.

He couldn't help but curse.

"Damn, I never thought I'd have a bottom to my energy!"

Since gaining his golden thumb, Luk had always been considered a powerhouse. Apart from the initial stage when he went all out against Garp, he had rarely felt exhausted.

"Feeling okay? Need some help?"

Loki laughed.

"No way! A man can't say he can't!"

Luk opened another portal and dragged the still-drunk Thor through it, tossing him into the sky. Thor's body disappeared into the hidden domain.

At the last moment, he seemed to regain consciousness, and his hand, not swallowed by the domain, gripped Mjolnir's rune, which glowed. Responding to the call, Mjolnir floated off the table and into Thor's hand, and both were then swallowed by the domain.

"Ouch, this is a bit troublesome. The power of the hammer might not be fully suppressed. Even if Thor is reduced to a mortal, with his durability and the hammer's power, it's like he has a cheat code."

Luk winced.

Loki raised an eyebrow, "Then let's spice things up. Mjolnir thinks it's a perfect match for Thor, so let's give it some competition."

Luk: "Nice, you're really good to your brother!"

Letting such a bratty hammer compete for the main female role might help Thor break his dependency on it… Hmm? Could this be part of Loki's plan?

"Adopted, thanks."

Loki's lips curled slightly, "But you're right, we are like brothers."

…

A meteor streaked across the sky and crashed with a loud boom. A naked Thor, looking bewildered, appeared in a large crater. He saw a group of people in strange clothing surrounding him, pointing and whispering.

"Is this a movie shoot?"

"Wow! Is that from Nantong?"

"What kind of metallic paint is that?"

"This exhibitionist has a pretty good body, but this look… he must really want to be an internet celebrity!"

Thor saw many people pulling out small metal boxes, which emitted bright lights at him.

Are those weapons?

Thor roared, "How dare you mock the son of Odin!"

Angry, he tried to swing Mjolnir but felt something was off.

Thor: (ー`ー)



He turned his head and saw a silver-haired boy being held by the handle, silently watching him.

"Hey, Thor, you're hurting me!"
