After the Ancient One condensed the ether into gem form, Thor followed her instructions and brought the Reality Stone back to Asgard.
Thor had never heard of the existence of the Ancient One before, but his father Odin knew all about it.
Now that his heir had come into contact with the secret world of Midgard, Odin simply told Thor about the deeds of the Ancient One.
For thousands of years, the Ancient One has been protecting the mysterious world of the Earth as the Supreme Mage. Any alien creature that dares to invade the Earth will be killed by her without mercy.
Even the pretentious Asgardians have heard the name of the dark lord Dormammu, and heard that the Ancient One can force Dormammu back in a one-on-one battle. Thor's heart is full of doubts about the Supreme Mage and the Mystic.
The ratings skyrocketed.
In order to prevent Thor from offending the boss in his recklessness, Odin specially told him not to provoke the mystics of Midgard at will.
Although Thor is accustomed to thinking with his muscles, and as an Asgardian, he always maintains his arrogance when facing people on Earth, but when facing a strong man who is truly worthy of respect, Thor can still put down his pride and correct his attitude.
When Thor returned to Asgard's Asgard with the Reality Stone, the Dark Elves' attack had not yet launched, but Odin had already begun to prepare for a rainy day.
He sent three warriors from the Immortal Palace to the nine realms respectively, adhering to the idea that in order to fight against the outside world, one must first pacify the inside, and used thunderous means to suppress the remaining rebellions in various places.
Odin's heyday was not as gentle as it is now. The nine realms were brought under the rule of Asgard only after his bloody conquests. It was not until Thor was born that he began to cultivate his mind and character.
Today, Odin is already in his dying years, but in the face of the upcoming war, the aging King of Asgard still shows some of his past prowess.
As the home world of the dark elves, Swartheim is naturally taken care of.
Since the Dark Elf Empire was defeated by Asgard, Swartheim has become a paradise for dwarves. Only a corner of the planet still retains the remains of the Dark Elf Empire's glorious period.
When Thor returned to Asgard, he happened to see Hogan, one of the Three Warriors, escorting a group of prisoners of war to the underground prison.
"Hogan, what are you..."
Hogg is a brave man with a resolute face. Unlike the other two members of the Three Warriors of Asgard, Hogg is not a native of Asgard in Asgard, but a Vanir from Vanaheim.
Compared to the infinitely powerful Volstagg and Fandral, who is proficient in all weapons, Hogan's combat skills are more comprehensive. He is proficient in hand-to-hand combat and is also very good at riding.
In addition, he also has considerable research in the field of healing and is a truly all-round warrior.
"Thor, luckily you came back in time."
The Three Warriors of Asgard and Thor have been friends for many years, and they know full well that Thor quietly left Asgard with the help of Heimdall.
Seeing Thor return to Asgard before the war officially started, Hogan, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"These are the rebels I captured in Swartheim. His Majesty asked me to put them all in the dungeon."
Thor raised his eyes and scanned the group of captives. His gaze lingered on an unusually strong masked man for a moment, and he quickly looked away again.
"Hogan, I still have important things to meet with my father. You can help me check on Loki's situation in the dungeon. We will talk later."
"no problem."
Thor, who left in a hurry, did not notice the strange gaze behind him. The strong weirdo wearing a full-face helmet kept staring at the Reality Stone in Thor's hand.
Hogan swung the hammer and hit the man: "Don't stop, go!"
Since the end of the Battle of New York, Loki, as the initiator of the disaster in Midgard, was brought back to Asgard by Thor to face Odin's trial.
If sentencing were strictly based on the laws of Asgard, Loki's crime would be enough to warrant him being sentenced to death.
However, under the plea of God Queen Frigga, the soft-hearted Odin finally sentenced Loki to eternal imprisonment.
After Loki was imprisoned in the VIP cell of the dungeon, the Queen of Gods still visited him often, but even the considerate Frigga could not completely heal the resentment and dissatisfaction in Loki's heart.
As the second prince of Asgard, Loki believed that he had the same legitimate right to inherit Asgard as his brother Thor.
But it wasn't until a few years ago that he realized that he was not the flesh and blood of Odin and Frigga at all, but the son of Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants.
All Odin's preference for Thor was explained in Loki's view. In unwillingness and anger, the cunning god who was good at intrigues and psychedelic spells gradually embarked on a wrong path, and eventually led to the destruction of Thanos' men.
The Tauri invaded New York and caused huge losses to the earth.
After Loki was imprisoned in the dungeon, he was treated nothing like a real prisoner.
In addition to being unable to move freely, Frigga, who doted on her son, met almost all of his requirements.
When Hogan escorted the Swartheim prisoners of war into the dungeon, Loki, who was reading, also raised his head and looked at the new prisoners curiously.
As the god of cunning, Loki has a very keen sense of conspiracy. When he saw the strong prisoner who stood out from the crowd, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
However, considering that he was now a prisoner, Loki did not intend to remind Thor's little follower, and continued to read with his head down with a half-smile in the hope of watching a good show.
At the same time, Thor told Odin everything about his meeting and conversation with the Ancient One.
Not caring about pursuing Thor for leaving Asgard against his orders, Odin's attention was attracted by the Reality Stone in Thor's hand.
Just as the two father and son were about to discuss the placement of the Reality Stone, a sharp siren suddenly sounded over Asgard, and the defensive barrier surrounding Asgard also rose.
Odin's expression changed, and he stood up from the throne holding the Eternal Spear with a solemn expression.
"Thor, put the Reality Stone in my private treasure house temporarily. We will discuss it slowly after this battle is over."
"Yes, Father."
Asgard's underground treasure house stores a large number of treasures collected by Odin from the nine realms, including cosmic magic - space gems.
Odin is very clear about the rules that the two Infinity Stones cannot be brought too close together. The situation is urgent and the only way to temporarily keep the Reality Stone and the Space Stone is to keep them separately.
When the two fathers and sons started to act separately, a huge invisible mothership suddenly appeared outside Asgard.
Before Asgard's defense forces could react, a dozen small dagger-shaped spacecraft were released from the mothership.
These highly impactful small spaceships fly very fast, aiming directly at Asgard, where the barrier has not yet been completed.
At the same time, under Loki's meaningful gaze, the strong prisoner really started to act.
He who was originally rational suddenly began to go crazy, roaring and spitting out an unknown curse breath from his body. He quickly killed all the prisoners in the same cell with him.
When this strange prisoner escaped without any hindrance and released the prisoners in the dungeon one by one, Loki pointed out the way with a smile, allowing this warrior whose body was filled with cursed power to successfully find and destroy the fairy palace.
The core of defense and the protective barrier also lose their effectiveness.
When Thor hid the Reality Stone and returned to the front battlefield, the cursed warriors deliberately sent by the Dark Elves into Asgard happened to miss him.
The Cursed Warrior found the target under the Dark Elf's special perception of the ether, forcefully broke through the door of Odin's private treasure house, and regained the Reality Stone.
Odin was busy wielding the eternal spear Gangnir to clean up the invading dark elf warriors. Malekith knew that he could not defeat Odin head-on, so he deliberately avoided the area guarded by the Father of the Gods, first met up with the cursed warriors, and took
Returned to the Dark Elf clan's most precious treasure - Ether.
In a normal state, if Malekith fought Thor one on one, he would undoubtedly be hammered to pieces in a short time.
But when Malekith inhaled the ether particles into his body and used them skillfully, Thor began to falter in the face of the powerful power of the Infinity Stones.
The battle between him and Malekith was suppressed almost entirely. During the entanglement, the two accidentally fell into a space crack that was torn open by the convergence of celestial bodies.
When Lu Xiao saw Thor's "magical weapons descending from the sky", it happened to be when he was knocked away by Malekith's ether particles.
Thor also didn't expect that he would return to Midgard in this way. He shook his head with a wry smile: "It's a long story. Now is not the time to tell it in detail. Be careful, the enemy is coming!"
A black-skinned man with pointed ears whose entire body was covered by activated ether particles was suspended in mid-air, looking down at Thor with a condescending attitude.
"Son of Odin, you are no match for me. No one can resist the infinite power of ether. The dark elves will surely rise again. Your ridiculous world of light will eventually die, and the universe will return to the darkness and tranquility of ancient times!"
