Chapter 429
Within the manor, designed in a typical Eastern garden style, there were small bridges over flowing water, carved beams and painted pillars, rockeries, and ponds, all complete. Large areas of grey roof tiles were arranged in a staggered manner, creating an extremely elegant and secluded atmosphere.
In a long corridor within the Lake Heart Island Manor, amidst such an elegant landscape,
The three magnates of the Avengers were currently engaged in a fierce argument. The two servant girls who had led them there sensibly hid far away. "We defeated Thanos, is it possible he's more terrifying than Thanos?!" Tony Stark said sarcastically, "Just because he's your brother-in-law?!"
"Tony, I'm very sorry!" Thor understood that Tony Stark was angry because of his concealment. As a comrade-in-arms who had fought alongside him, he shouldn't have hidden anything from Tony.
In fact, when Steve, Tony, and that Bruce Wayne first suspected Tang Song, he had wanted to step forward and explain everything, warning them not to provoke Tang Song.
But he knew Tony too well, and he knew the Avengers!
Given Tony's pride, if he had chosen to reveal everything back then, telling Tony about Tang Song's strength and advising them not to provoke Tang Song, Tony would definitely not have chosen to retreat. The enemy's strength would only have ignited his competitive spirit. Based on his understanding of Tony, Tony would have gone to great lengths to gather intelligence on Tang Song and then manufactured anti-Tang Song battlegear.
To be a human body, comparable to a deity – this was the praise the Human World bestowed upon Tony, the Iron Man.
But no matter in which mythology, a god-slayer would eventually face misfortune.
Tony was too proud, so proud that he feared nothing. This was also something Thor worried about. He knew deeply that his cheap brother-in-law was not someone with a magnanimous heart; he was even quite petty!
Once he discovered that the Avengers were secretly plotting against him, they would absolutely not meet a good end.
Rather than letting Tony and the others scheme behind his back, it was better to lay everything out in the open, leaving room for reconciliation.
At worst, he could shamelessly go beg Hela. As for whether the Avengers could defeat his cheap brother-in-law, he had never held that illusion from the start. The bones of Mephisto of Hell, God Jehovah of Heaven, and Laufey of Jotunheim were not yet cold.
So, after hearing Tony Stark's questioning, Thor first apologized to Tony for his concealment, then looked deeply at Tony and said calmly, "Thanos?! Thanos no longer exists in this Universe!"
"What do you mean by that? This is a Parallel Universe different from ours, it's normal for Thanos not to exist!" Tony Stark was somewhat in doubt.
"Initially, Thanos also existed in this Universe, but he was arrogant and wanted to invade Earth, so his fleet was annihilated, and he himself went missing!" Thor said with a bitter smile towards Tony, "The Thanos in this Universe was much stronger than the Thanos in our Universe. Guess why he went missing?"
"Is it because of that Tang?" Captain America Steve Rogers interjected from the side, "Is he really that powerful!?"
"Captain, you should know I've been in this Universe for a while!" Thor didn't directly answer Captain America's question.
"You said at the time that you wanted to protect the Asgard of this Universe and save it from Ragnarök, even though none of us wanted you to interfere with the process of another Universe. But Tony suggested that you could use this matter to resolve your Heart's Knot!"
Although Captain America didn't know why Thor had concealed things from them, he understood Thor's character. This Thor from Norse Mythology was usually carefree and not the type to scheme or betray his teammates.
Whether it was Tony or Thor, in his eyes, they were both comrades-in-arms he could confidently entrust his back to.
As the Captain and spiritual pillar of the Avengers, Steve Rogers tried his best to find a way to ease the Conflict between Tony Stark and Thor.
This explanation from Captain America was the first time Thor had heard it. He subconsciously looked towards Tony Stark, but Tony Stark simply turned his face away.
Thor looked at this arrogant guy, a trace of emotion flashing in his eyes. After a moment, he continued to explain, "Initially, I wanted to save Asgard, but I didn't expect someone to be a step faster than me. He foiled the Conspiracy of the Dark Elves and saved the Goddess of Magic of this Universe."
Seeing the doubtful expressions on Captain America and Tony's faces, Thor immediately realized they didn't know who the Goddess of Magic was. He explained, "The Goddess of Magic is the mother of the Thor in this Universe, and also my mother. In our Universe, she died at Malekith's hands while protecting Jane!"
Thor's expression was somewhat melancholic when he mentioned his mother. Captain America stepped forward and patted his Shoulder to offer comfort.
Tony Stark stood not far from Thor. Although he didn't step forward, his Complexion had softened considerably.
"I'm fine. The Thor in this Universe is much luckier than I am. Not only is his mother still alive, but Asgard also escaped the fate of Ragnarök, and Loki is still alive!" Thor's sadness was mixed with a hint of envy.
Although the Odin of this Universe had acknowledged him as a son before falling into slumber, Thor knew clearly that for this Universe, he was merely a transient visitor! His Family, his Kingdom, had all been lost through countless wars! Looking at the melancholic Thor, Captain America didn't know how to comfort him for a moment and could only continue patting his Shoulder.
For Captain America, his experience was no less tragic. He slept for seventy years and woke up to find everything around him changed. His Family, his Friends, even the World he was familiar with had left him.
Everything around him was strange. He couldn't find his meaning and Value. Just after waking up, he was like a pitiful soul adrift outside the World, an existence that was redundant to the World.
It was both pathetic and ironic that what truly made him feel a sense of belonging to this World was his group of old Rivals, Hydra.
The existence of Hydra, the existence of those evil forces, allowed him to find his meaning and Value: to crush them, defeat them, and protect what he wanted to protect, just as he had seventy years ago.
Tony Stark, standing nearby, was no exception and also fell into sadness. In his youth, he always believed his parents had died in an accidental car crash. Later, he learned his parents had died at the hands of the Winter Soldier, who had been brainwashed.
Every time he recalled the argument he had with his Father before he left home that day, Tony Stark would fall into an unspeakable regret.
If only he hadn't been so willful back then... The three Avengers, all Orphans, fell silent together. The atmosphere was somewhat melancholic.
Finally, it was Thor who broke the awkward atmosphere. "My sister's Strength is very great, much stronger than Hela in our Universe. Even I am not confident I can defeat her now. The Dark Elf King Malekith's Strength is also not weak. My brother-in-law's Strength is far greater than theirs!!"
"We also have Superman, we have Wonder Woman, plus us Avengers, we might not lose to him!" Tony Stark naturally understood how strong Thor was. Holding Stormbreaker, he was the top combat power in the entire Avengers.
Even Hulk was slightly inferior to him. Well, as for Dr. Banner now, he was even further behind by several streets.
As for himself, wearing the anti-Thor battlegear, he might barely be able to fight Thor to a draw. Tony Stark calculated Tang Song's Strength, secretly startled, but he still spoke stubbornly. "Superman Clark Kent, do you think he can defeat Yahweh? Wonder Woman, can she defeat Hell Lord Lucifer?"
