After Brünnhilde said goodbye to Gin, she bowed to the queen before leaving. Su Ming also assigned Gin a task, asking her to return to Earth's Kama Taj and tell Ancient One what happened here.
To deal with the big snake, the Supreme Mage must at least be somewhat prepared.
Of course, it might be possible to send Steve out, at least he could fight for a whole day.
But the result is probably not going to be too good...
Besides, he still needs to continue shooting commercials. Wilson Enterprises underwent postwar transformation and needed more new products, all of which required publicity.
Not only is Steve a war hero, but his strong physique and handsome face make him the stuff of a big star.
Girls want a boyfriend like the captain, and boys want to be a handsome guy like the captain.
Therefore, whether it is women's perfume or underwear, or men's luxury cars or watches, Captain America can endorse them all.
TV commercials not only take time to shoot, but also need to be changed frequently according to the season and market. I guess Steve will be very busy in the future.
After the victory in World War II, the enemies seemed to have disappeared.
Steve was gradually marginalized by the military. The focus of society shifted to economic development, and the country stopped promoting war heroes.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the popularity is still there, it can be promoted. Su Ming already has a TV station and a film company, and recently acquired the Daily Bugle. As long as it can ensure its influence in New York, it will be enough.
Su Ming will deal with the Hydra this time by himself, and the affairs of the Immortal Palace need to continue to be kept secret.
Gin also left the palace, leaving only Su Ming and the two sisters from the Warner clan.
"You can go back and rest."
While Su Ming was talking to the two of them, he saw Loki hurriedly walking in from outside the palace.
There was sweat on his forehead and his clothes looked very messy, as if he had been chased by a hellhound.
However, he still said hello to his mother and aunt first, and then knelt on one knee in front of the throne.
"Father God, Thor failed. He did not defeat Surtur. I managed to save their lives, but on the way back, Thor insisted on walking, causing the army to be attacked by the undead and suffering heavy losses."
Strictly speaking, Loki didn't lie, he just avoided the important and took the easy way out.
Su Ming paused his spear on the ground, showing anger.
"What about you? My little son, why did you escape back alone?!"
"Because I found out something happened to Heimdall, so I came back to see if I could be of any help. Open the Rainbow Bridge to receive the returning army."
Su Ming narrowed his eyes. Loki did know how to use the Rainbow Bridge, but he didn't know where he learned it.
Gin left the big sword as the key before leaving. At this time, the weapon was leaning next to the throne, still shining with cold light.
After thinking for a moment, Su Ming raised his hand and swung out the sword, watching it spin on the floor in front of Loki, and a strand of black hair slowly fell.
Loki swallowed, his nose was almost cut off just now.
"Do it."
Su Ming simply whispered.
Loki was overjoyed and mastered the Rainbow Bridge, which shows that Odin values him more.
He immediately pulled out the sword from the floor with great difficulty, saluted hastily and rushed towards the Rainbow Bridge. There was a fight outside, and various forces regarded the Asgard as a battlefield. How could Odin still have time to chat with his mother?
He still has Midgard tobacco in his hand, which is really...
But the most urgent task is to get the idiot brother and the idiot followers back first. The army will see how many survive and bring some back.
Asgard now needs an army, and he originally planned to let the undead annihilate the Asgardian army in the world of fire, so as to increase Thor's guilt.
It's a pity that the time is not right now...
After Loki left, Frigga showed an expression of disbelief.
"You actually sent my children to deal with Surtur. Do you know what kind of existence he is?"
Su Ming wiped out the cigarette butt on the throne calmly: "Of course, the Flame Demon, one of the lords of hell, is as strong as Baoer and Odin, and I also know that Surtur is sealed in the volcano.
I can’t take a single step out.”
Frigga opened her mouth, but Deathstroke finished what she had to say. He knew everything all along and had a plan in advance.
So she stayed for a few seconds, nodded slightly as a farewell, and went to treat Heimdall.
Guerweger was addicted to the TV series and didn't want to leave. She had nothing serious to do, so she sat down at the long table next to the hall.
After a while, Loki returned to the hall with Thor and the three warriors in extremely miserable conditions.
At this time, Thor's body was covered with blood marks from being slashed by Tyr, and blood was still flowing from the wounds, but they were basically superficial wounds, nothing serious.
The three warriors seemed to have been attacked by zombies. They were covered with black handprints, which were left after being pulled by the undead. There were also several teeth marks on Volstagg's arms.
Sif's condition is better, but the shield obviously has a few cracks, and it can be said to be scrapped.
"Thor, my son."
Su Ming spoke in a calm tone, ensuring that no one could detect anything through the change of tone or the inaccurate use of words.
"Yes, father, I failed...The army of the underworld, led by Tyr, attacked us."
The figure on the throne was motionless, and there was no expression on his face.
"How many people did I give you when we set out?"
"...Two million people." Thor lowered his head, and his Mjolnir was placed on the ground, right next to the previous sword mark.
"So how many people did you bring back?"
As this question came out, the atmosphere in the hall fell into silence, everything seemed to be quiet, and a smile appeared on Loki's lowered face.
"Less than 200,000."
Thor's expression kept changing, but in the end he could only answer truthfully.
Even Gullweger, who was watching the excitement on the side, was a little moved. What happened to Thor and lost so many troops.
Loki's mood couldn't help but rise. It's coming, it's coming, Odin will definitely beat Thor violently, and then send Thor to the coldest place in Midgard.
There, Thor could only wear animal skins and eat ice and snow to satisfy his hunger.
In this way, he will rely more on himself. Loki will secretly bring food to Thor. When the time comes, Thor will look at him as if he is looking at the savior.
However, Su Ming seemed not to hear it, and instead asked: "So, what did you learn during this operation?"
"ah?"
Thor was stunned. What had he learned? Can he learn anything from defeating the battle?
It seems not. Apart from realizing that Surtur is very strong and Tyr's underworld army is also very strong, he didn't find anything else.
"I asked you what did you learn?!"
Su Ming stood up, and the Eternal Spear pierced the ground hard, causing cracks to spread from the imperial steps down.
Thor was anxious and guilty. He tried his best to think, but his mind was obviously empty.
But at this moment, he thought of the world of fire, the eternally burning plane of Surturna.
"Yes...I learned the Will of Fire."
Thor said bravely.
Su Ming's body shook, and veins popped out in the hand holding the Eternal Spear.
Just when Loki thought Odin was going to explode, Odin just nodded slightly and sat back on the throne.
He spoke to Thor in a pleasant manner, with admiration in his eyes.
"Very good, just learn what you have learned. Go back to your palace to rest. Fine wine and delicious food are waiting for you, my son."
Loki couldn't believe his ears. He raised his head in surprise. He had lost nearly two million troops. Odin didn't say anything, but just treated it as Thor's teaching?
Why? Why does everyone dote on Thor so much?!
He immediately took a step forward, as if to persuade Odin that Thor should be punished, otherwise he would not be able to convince the crowd.
The responsibility lies there, and everyone can see it clearly. Even though you are a king, you cannot be so partial!
"Father, Thor..."
"Shut up! You traitor! Don't think I don't know what you did!"
Su Ming suddenly got mad and pretended to be angry and roared at Loki. He stood up from the throne excitedly, pointed the eternal gun at Loki, and shouted loudly.
Who knows what Loki did, but as long as he said this, he would figure it out.
Loki was indeed thinking rapidly. Was it known that he had disguised himself as Odin? Or was it known that he was teasing the Three Warriors? Or was the previous rumor about Thor and Sif known?
He was doing too many things, and for a moment he couldn't even think of what Odin was talking about.
Of course, Su Ming would not let him understand that Loki still had great uses.
He flicked the Eternal Spear and took a few sharp breaths, as if he was going to be sick from anger, but he gradually calmed down.
"In view of the many mistakes you have made, after I woke up, Gaia and Qitong suggested that I throw you into the center of the star and imprison you, but Frigga has been interceding for you... this time
I will let you go and punish you to clean the sheepfold for Thor for a month. Every sheep dung must be cleaned, and I will let Heimdall inspect it."
Volstagg had a strange expression, his beard kept trembling, and he could hardly hold back his laughter. The annoying Loki was finally punished by Odin.
Odin is wise. Although Volstagg doesn't know what Loki did, Odin is definitely right.
Loki was stunned under the imperial steps. He didn't know how to argue for a moment, and his mind was full of doubts about the unfair world.
Why? Why?!
Why did Thor make a mistake and it was Loki who was punished?
He is so hateful! He hates Odin's injustice, but he is powerless. His power is nothing in front of Odin.
The two mothers of the gods who slandered them were deeply remembered by Loki, and he had decided to take revenge, using the most cruel means.
Seeing Loki's gloomy expression return to a smile, Su Ming also smiled in his heart.
"Thor, throw your despicable brother into the sheepfold! Then you can rest... By the way, don't drink too much wine, don't eat too much at night, and cover yourself with a quilt."
Thor scratched his head. Did Loki do something despicable? Why didn't he know?
However, Odin's words were orders. Now that he had lost his troops, Thor did not dare to talk back to the furious Odin.
That won't make Odin change his mind, it will only make two people sweep the sheepfold.
Thor has decided to help Loki with the work and secretly send him dinner and wine. He still remembers that he owes Loki a bottle of wine.
He took Loki out, while Volstagg carried Hogan on his back to find the doctor. Fandral and Sif also bowed and left.
Su Ming walked down the steps, picked up Heimdall's giant sword from the ground, and leaned it next to the throne again.
He blinked at Gullweger.
The two women mentioned before will not live long. Loki will do everything unconsciously, just like he did when he tricked Balder to death.
This matter will be good for Gullwig. She will not tell anyone. Everyone is now an accomplice in the future murders in Asgard.
