Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 384: Celestial Bodies Gather, Hela's Little Wonder

Deep in Asgard, where Odin sleeps.

Lu Mingfei frowned and looked at Jane who was held in Thor's arms.

There is no doubt that Jane has enormous energy in her body, and judging from the fact that this energy can resonate with the power of the three Infinity Stones, it is probably also an Infinity Stone.

"Mingfei, father," Thor still held Jane in his arms, his face full of anxiety, "I don't know what's wrong with her body, can you tell?"

"Uh... Thor, why don't you put Jane down first?" Lu Mingfei pointed at Jane, who looked a little pale. "She seems a little dizzy. Did you fly too fast?"

"Fast?" Thor reacted then. Because he was too worried about Jane's health, the speed he brought Jane to fly here was a bit beyond the standard for ordinary people. At this speed, Jane only had mild "airsickness" symptoms and didn't even vomit. She was already considered to have excellent physical fitness.

"I'm fine..." Jane covered her mouth and got down from Thor's arms. She stood on the ground, looking at the people in front of her with some trepidation. Her steps unconsciously moved towards Thor, the only person she could rely on.

She didn't recognize anyone present except Lu Mingfei, but there was no doubt that neither Frigga nor Odin looked "easy-going" in the sense of Earthlings. Even though Frigga was considered a "loving mother" type in Asgard, it was still difficult to conceal her nature as an Asgardian, and the pressure on Jane was still not small.

As for the God Odin, there is no need to mention it. Although he had just received Lu Mingfei's "bloodletting treatment" and was weak, his face looked paler than Jane, but the majesty of the God King was not diminished much.

"Thor, Jane, what happened?" Lu Mingfei raised one hand, and light burst out from his fingertips. Jane, who was illuminated by the light, suddenly felt relaxed all over, and even the vague discomfort after being exposed to the mysterious red light disappeared.

The god Odin, who was also bathed in the light, also recovered slightly, but his complexion did not improve. Instead, he looked at Thor and said, "Thor, you shouldn't have brought mortals to Asgard. My words fell on deaf ears and have no effect on you, right?"

Although he sounded like he was criticizing, Odin's tone was not harsh.

"Father, Jane is sick." said Thor.

"All mortals get sick, even some Asgardians are not immune to it." Odin pointed at himself.

"Father, you... have lost some of your power?" Thor finally reacted. When he was with his father, he could always feel that his power was unfathomable, so much so that now that Odin had lost some of his power, it was difficult for him to notice.

"This is good for my health, at least it makes me feel more relaxed," Odin said, "You should thank Prince Nidhogg."

"Mingfei!" Thor looked at Lu Mingfei, "I was just about to look for you. Something's wrong with Jane's body... I don't know if we should call this an Earthling's illness. There's some powerful substance in her body."

"Thor, the Earthlings have their own therapists. Send her back to where she should be for treatment," Odin said without waiting for Lu Mingfei to answer. "This is for her own good. Mortals should not enter the realm of the gods."

Thor shook his head: "It is impossible for Earthlings to heal her injuries. I have never seen the substances in her body even in Asgard."

"Mortal matters should be resolved in the mortal world..."

Odin was halfway through his speech when Lu Mingfei interrupted and said, "Lord Odin, let Jane stay."

Odin looked at Lu Mingfei with some surprise, and Thor "quietly" gave Lu Mingfei a thumbs up - good brother, I knew you would help me!

"What happened to Jane may not be a 'mortal matter'," Lu Mingfei explained to God Odin, "Jane, come here for a moment."

Jian walked over with some confusion. Lu Mingfei raised his hand and tapped her forehead. As his palm touched her, the red energy wave suddenly spread out with Jian as the center and turned into a pure energy shock.

Although this impact was blocked by Lu Mingfei with a simplified version of the Glazed Brahma City before it had time to spread and did not affect the other three people not far away, God Odin still clearly felt this energy.

"This is, the ether particle?!" God Odin's expression changed slightly.

"Ether particles? What is that?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. Wasn't it obvious that this energy was one of the Infinity Stones?

"The ether particle is a substance that appeared before the existence of the universe. When it is mentioned alone, it is called the ether particle. But if it is put together with several other things, its accurate name should be the Reality Stone among the Infinity Stones." Odin said.

"Reality gem?" Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.

Although he already knew that the Infinity Stones were on Jane, and although the little devil said that the Reality Stones were also on Earth, and the stones Jane was most likely to come into contact with were naturally the Reality Stones, Lu Mingfei still couldn't believe it was such a coincidence - it just happened that the Reality Stones were what he needed the most, and it just happened that Jane got the Reality Stones from somewhere, and it just happened that Thor sent Jane to him...

Lu Mingfei had already begun to suspect that Lu Mingze was behind this. Otherwise, how come this little devil had just told him that the Reality Gem could help him completely control Hela, but before he could even start looking for it, the Reality Gem was delivered to his door?
"Infinity Gems? Wouldn't it be difficult to take them out of Jane's body?" Thor didn't think too much about it. His only focus was whether Jane could be cured.

Before, he always thought that with Asgard's technology, no matter what was inside the body, it would not be difficult to take it out. But if it was the Infinity Stones, even if Asgard was one of the most powerful civilizations in the universe, it might not be able to do anything about it.

Odin did not answer directly, but stood up with the help of Frigga: "Come with me."

……

In the library deep in the hall.

"A long time ago, there was an evil and powerful race in the universe - the dark elves," Odin sat at the table, and Lu Mingfei and others stood beside him, watching him open an ancient book whose material could not be identified, "They wanted to drag all civilizations in the universe into darkness..."

"Sorry, I'm interrupting you," Lu Mingfei said, "Why does Asgard use such backward things as books to record information?"

"I said it was a long time ago. Although Asgard had already eliminated outdated paper media at that time, our tradition still requires us to back up the most important things in books, at least in the form of books," Odin said. "Letting darkness invade the entire universe was originally just a delusion of the dark elves. Even if they used all their strength, they could not expand the power of darkness beyond a few galaxies. Moreover, the darkness advocated by the dark elves is essentially a kind of energy, but this energy is only beneficial to them. They don't have that much dark power to spread throughout the universe."

"But the Reality Gem gives them the opportunity to make their dreams come true?" Lu Mingfei said.

"That's right," Odin nodded. "Generally speaking, the Reality Stone is the most eccentric of all the Infinity Stones, and its power is almost impossible to use. It can modify all the laws of reality, but because of this, the person who uses it will be completely unable to control it, and the modification of reality will only be a disaster, just like using a paintbrush to modify a painting, but the person holding the paintbrush cannot paint, so the traces he can leave on the painting itself must be a disaster..."

"The Dark Elves are an ancient and powerful civilization. After they obtained the Reality Stone, they used all their strength to transform it. They were also very lucky. The Reality Stone is the most active of all the gems and can even exist in a non-solid form. The Dark Elves also successfully influenced the Reality Stone, causing it to point to the reality of 'plunging the universe into complete darkness' among the countless 'realities' that can be achieved."

"But they didn't succeed, did they?" Lu Mingfei asked. "My father, Bor, the previous god king of Asgard, stopped them and destroyed the dark elves in a costly war. He also announced that the Aether was also destroyed along with the dark elves. In fact, he only eliminated the influence of the Reality Stone and sealed it up." God Odin said.

"Why not really destroy the Reality Stone? Now it appears again." Thor said somewhat dissatisfied.

Now not only is Jane in danger, but the Reality Gem itself is a huge danger to the entire universe.

"Because it's impossible. If you want to destroy a gem, you must rely on the power of other gems. Even the power of one gem may not be enough to destroy another gem," God Odin said. "Now it seems that my father used the celestial aggregation to hide the reality gem."

"What is celestial convergence?" Jane, an astronomy enthusiast nearby, suddenly became interested and even put his own physical condition aside.

"The nine kingdoms will be arranged in a straight line from the perspective of the universe every once in a while. During this period, the huge gravity of the nine kingdoms will affect countless small spaces in the universe. The boundaries between the nine kingdoms and the countless small spaces in the universe will blur, overlap, intersect and even merge with each other. From a certain perspective, the entire universe will be affected by the aggregation of celestial bodies, and countless distorted spaces will appear. At the beginning, the dark elves also had to rely on the aggregation of celestial bodies to expand the power range of the Reality Gem to the entire universe and drag the entire universe into darkness," Odin said, "In this case, some extremely special spaces will appear. The Reality Gem should have been hidden in such a space by my father."

"A celestial gathering can only last for a very short time. From the perspective of an individual civilization, it is only a few days, but in the time scale of the universe, it is almost a moment. Once this time passes, the space that appears due to the celestial gathering will disappear until the next celestial gathering." Odin looked at Jane, "This should be very safe. Normally, even if there is technology that can move through space, it is impossible to enter that space, because outside of the celestial gathering, the space that exists due to the celestial gathering is not 'closed', but 'non-existent'."

“But who could have thought that someone happened to enter the space where the Reality Gem was stored during this extremely short period of celestial body aggregation, and happened to be taken away by the Reality Gem as a host…” The one eye of the god Odin stared at Jane.

"So... does the book describe how to take the reality gem out of the body?" Jane asked weakly.

"No, there is no record in it that gems can enter the human body." Odin shook his head.

"There will always be a way, Mingfei, right?" Thor cast a hopeful look at Lu Mingfei.

“Well… theoretically I can try, but the risk is huge. Compared to the Infinity Stones, Jane’s body is so fragile that it’s like it doesn’t exist,” Lu Mingfei said. “I can try to make the power of other stones resonate with the Reality Stone, and then affect its actions. If successful, I can take the stone out of Jane’s body. But if it fails, the Reality Stone may burst out with power directly due to the resonance…”

"What will happen to me?" Jane asked nervously.

"Well... at least it will be painless." Lu Mingfei said tactfully.

"No pain? Like the technique used in general anesthesia surgery..." Jane thought for two seconds and realized, "No!"

Lu Mingfei shrugged. “Although it’s painless, it probably won’t leave a complete body. No, let alone a complete body, there won’t even be any traces. Being exploded by the power of the Infinity Stones is much more stimulating than being hit by an atomic bomb.”

"Isn't there a safer way?" Thor asked.

"There's no other way. The human body is really too fragile. If you were the one with the Infinity Stones in your body, I would be able to do whatever I want." Lu Mingfei said helplessly.

Thor always felt that Lu Mingfei's words were a bit strange, but he couldn't think of what the problem was.

At the same time, outside the Fairy Palace, Hela, who was unable to leave the small area under her feet or perform complex movements due to Lu Mingfei's order, was looking at the surrounding scenery boredly.

"Hi, big sister, you seem bored." The boy in a gold-plated suit walked out from the shadows, his golden eyes like glowing amber.

“You! It’s you! The guy who calls himself a devil,” Hela looked at him. “Before, you helped me to remove the seal, so that I could recover some of my strength to act on Earth. You said at that time that you would ask me for the reward for releasing me later... Are you here to ask for the reward?”

Without waiting for Lu Mingze to speak, Hela suddenly smiled, but her smile was quite insincere: "But you should be able to see that I am now controlled by others and can't give you anything. If you want to be rewarded, you must first stop making me a slave..."

"Oh my, don't worry, big sister. I'm here to help you." The little devil said with a smile, "Come closer and I'll tell you how to get rid of it."

"relief?"

Hela always felt that this statement was strange, but now was not the time to dwell on it. She half squatted down and turned her ear towards Lu Mingze.

After a moment, Hila’s eyes lit up and she stood up: “If you didn’t lie to me, this should really work…”

Then she looked at Lu Mingze with some suspicion: "But you claim to be a devil, you really won't lie to me?"

“How could that be? Big sister, look at my sincere eyes.” Lu Mingze looked up at Hela, his big eyes twinkling. “The most important thing for us devils is integrity. We never lie when doing business! Really!”

“So what do you want from me?” Hela asked after taking a deep breath. She was ready to pay the price.

"Don't worry. It won't be too late to ask you for reward once you are truly free, sister." said the little devil.

"You, a devil, are you so kind? You're not charging interest, are you?" Hela looked doubtful. She had seen records of devils in Asgard before, saying that they were special beings from the "hell dimension" outside the regular universe and dimension, and that devils were very cunning and that trading with them would almost certainly result in losses. But this was indeed the first time she had seen a devil in reality.

"What's the matter with interest? There are actually good devils in hell too."

The little devil patted his chest with an innocent look on his face.

……

At the same time, deep in the universe, there was an area completely engulfed in darkness.

In the pitch-black warship, a pale and somewhat thin dark elf suddenly opened his eyes, and a dark red light appeared in his eyes.

"The ether particles finally reappeared..."

ps: I recommend a friend’s new book “Lu Mingfei, Why Would You Slay a Dragon If You Don’t Roll?” Students who are interested can take a look at it.
