Extraordinary North America: Where are the magical partners?

Chapter 328 Nidawi
In the Marvel universe, Rango is particularly impressed by two methods of teleportation.

One is a hanging ring portal created by Master Ancient One, which has a simple cast but extremely powerful effect.

The other is Heimdall, the gatekeeper god of Asgard who can see through the nine realms and use the rainbow bridge to teleport.

Compared with the latter, Rango prefers the hanging ring portal, not because the portal opened by the hanging ring has a wider range and can open up the transmission of the multiverse, but because it is more like an invitation. Whether to enter the door or not depends entirely on your own will, without any coercion.

But the Rainbow Bridge is too simple and crude!

Not long ago.
Beside a river or lake in the snow-capped mountains somewhere in the Himalayas, three figures, two large and one small, were each holding a fishing rod, fishing leisurely in the cold wind.

"The sub-line doesn't need to be too long, one meter and two meters is enough, and the distance between the upper and lower hooks should be controlled at half a meter. After the position is determined, tighten it and tie a Palomar knot."

Rango was adjusting the fishing line while teaching Yumi and Miles beside him. He didn't care whether the two could understand him or not. He was just enjoying the feeling of pretending to be a fishing expert.

"Hang corn on double hooks in half water, adjust the full mesh, clamp the bite lead on the sub-line of the lower hook, reserve ten centimeters, push the float up to find the bottom, remember not to cast the full rod, find a three-mesh adjustment and it will be OK."

"Old Wang at the Kamar-Taj library said there's a giant creature in this lake, but he's been fishing for more than a decade and still hasn't caught one. Looks like I'll have to get it this time, hahahaha."

Rango's triumphant laughter echoed by the lake, as if he had seen a huge fish taken the bait just after he cast the rod.

After learning several spells of Kamar-Taj, he did not rush to Asgard, but stayed on the snowy mountain for another day.

In the past few years, he has been to countless places that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime, and has seen countless landscapes that are either magnificent or bizarre.

But this is my first time to visit the snowy mountains.

Just last night, he had a hotpot in the snow with Lao Wang from Kamar-Taj. When the other side revealed the news that there was a giant water monster in the snow mountain lake, he rushed over early the next morning with Yumi and Uncle Mai and fishing rods.

The cold wind was howling, and goose-feather-like snowflakes were blowing past. However, as soon as they touched Rango and the other two, a blue light spread out and drove them away directly.

This is the power of the horse spell, which can dispel some negative effects. Healing is just a branch of this ability.

"I am bored"

Within half an hour, Yumi got tired of waiting. She threw away her fishing rod, floated on the surface of the lake, and occasionally stretched out her claws to flutter the snowflakes.

Rango began to get impatient. He had been fishing for so long but not a single fish took the bait.

With his skills, how could he not catch any fish? It seemed that there were no fish in this lake.

He turned his head to look at Miles and found that this guy was standing there like a sculpture, motionless, only his eyes under the mask were fixed on the float, as if he was really expecting a fish to take the bait.

"I was pretending to be such an expert just now. If I come back empty-handed now, won't these two guys laugh at me to death?"

Rango muttered to himself for a while, waiting for Miles to speak and prepare to go back so that he would have a way to go down, but the old man was like a piece of wood, standing there for more than an hour without even taking a breath.

Just as he was getting more and more impatient, Miles' float bit twice shallowly and then suddenly sank slowly.

Rango's eyes suddenly lit up, this was obviously the mouth of a big fish!
Seeing this, Miles, who had been standing still for several hours, lifted the fishing rod with great force. The fishing line instantly straightened, and then there was a "bang" sound.

The line broke and there was no sign of the fish.

"Haha. Ahem."

Rango's mood suddenly improved after he had been depressed for a long time. After coughing twice, he taught him angrily, "Didn't I tell you that when fishing for big fish, you should gently shake the fishing rod to make the hook go deeper into the fish's mouth. You should also use a combination of looseness and tightness. When the fish's resistance is weak, reel it in quickly; when the resistance is strong, loosen the line appropriately. Don't think that using too much force will work miracles."

After listening to this, Miles nodded as if he understood, then silently reeled in the fishing rod and continued to reel in the line, looking as if he was seriously learning.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a live demonstration and you'll be able to do it."

Although they hadn't seen a single fish so far, it didn't stop Rango from bragging about himself. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand loosen and the fishing line tightened instantly! Rango's eyes lit up:
"Here it comes! Miles, look carefully, this is called..."

Rumble——!
Before he could finish his words, a gorgeous rainbow bridge descended from the sky and enveloped the three of them.

"Wolter?! Thor!!!"

A second later, there was no one by the lake, leaving only Rango's angry and helpless curses echoing on the lake.

--------

Inside the Rainbow Bridge, in the colorful energy channel.

Rango glared at Thor angrily, while Thor looked down at the broken fishing rod in Rango's hand and couldn't help but sneered, "Don't be so angry, buddy. When we come back from the Dwarf Planet, I'll take you to the place in Asgard where there are the most fish, and you can have a good fishing trip!"

"Fuck! I didn't even see any fish!"

Rango was so angry that he twisted the fishing rod in his hand into a knot.

He didn't even know what kind of fish he had hooked. If he had known, he wouldn't have shown off in front of Miles and would have just used his strength to make a miracle happen.

He shook his head in annoyance: "I bet that fish weighs at least 100 pounds!"

"Huh?" Thor scratched his head in confusion. "Didn't you say you didn't even see any fish?"

"Nonsense! This is just a conservative estimate. Believe it or not, if the fish is pulled ashore, it will weigh at least 200 kilograms, maybe even 300 kilograms!" Rango became more and more excited as he spoke.

"."

Seeing that the fish that had not been caught was starting to get bigger, Thor quickly changed the subject.

"Rango, Nidavi may have been plundered by Thanos, and the dwarf king's life or death is unknown now."

"what?"

This news really attracted Rango's attention. He immediately asked, "Where's the body? Isn't there even a body?"

He had finally found the eighth metal for forging weapons, but it turned out that the dwarf king might have died. How could he accept this?

"I don't know either. The soldiers sent by Asgard to Nidave have not sent back any news. I can't wait any longer, so I asked Heimdall to call you over, and we'll go take a look together." Thor also frowned, his face full of worry.

Rango glanced at the bag on Thor's back and knew without a doubt that it contained the fragments of Mjolnir crushed by Hela.

If the Dwarf King is really dead, then no one will be able to repair his hammer. This kid is more anxious than him.

But Thanos?

Rango couldn't help but twist his fists, rubbing his hands and asking, "Are you sure Thanos is in Nidavi?" "It's hard to say whether he is there now, but he must have been there." Thor explained, "In the video released by Hela, I saw Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet with a power gem on it. In the entire universe, only the dwarf king Etri can create the Infinity Gauntlet that controls the Infinity Gems."

Rango nodded and asked curiously, "Could it be that the Infinity Gauntlet in your Golden Palace is lost? I remember you have one there too, right?"

"Well, I thought so at first." Thor answered awkwardly, "But Hela said that the one in the Golden Palace is a replica. The real Infinity Gauntlet was destroyed thousands of years ago after my father fought the Eternals."

"Okay..." Rango frowned. He had originally planned to use the Golden Palace's Infinity Gloves to control it after getting the Infinity Stones, but it turned out to be fake?
But if you think about it carefully, it seems like this is what happened in the movie, but so many years have passed, how could he still remember these details?

But it doesn't matter. After all, he clearly remembers that Tony can make the Infinity Gauntlet with his hands, so he can just ask him to make one for him when the time comes.

I just don't know if these Infinity Stones can be used in other universes.
If it can be used, once the Infinity Gauntlet with five gems is obtained, we can directly go to the original world and snap our fingers, and all those ancient gods that threaten the safety of the earth will be destroyed, right?

Simple and practical.

Thor looked at Rango's frowning and smiling expression, shrugged strangely, and then looked up at the top of the colorful passage.

Nidavi is located at the farthest end of the Nine Realms, but with the transmission speed of the Rainbow Bridge, they should be almost there by the time they are talking.

A few seconds later, everyone floating in the Rainbow Bridge suddenly felt something solid beneath their feet. Then the colorful light surrounding them slowly dissipated, and a deep voice was heard at the same time:
"If anything seems wrong, remember to call me. I'll always keep an eye on this place."

"Don't worry Heimdall, even if Thanos is really here, I will crush this guy with one hammer."

Thor replied nonchalantly. When the light completely faded, he looked around and his expression instantly became solemn.

There is a ruin before my eyes!
Everywhere you look, there are collapsed buildings, as if this place had just experienced a brutal war.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood. The Nidavi sky, which should have been always bustling with activity and illuminated by countless refining furnaces in a crimson color, was now gray. The entire planet seemed to have lost its vitality, filled with deathly silence and despair.

"That's not good."

Rango pursed his lips. He remembered that the dwarf king did not die in the end in the movie, but now because of his appearance, he could not guarantee whether the original plot would change.

“I don’t feel the breath of life.”

Thor looked around and frowned, "Will Thanos kill all the Nidavidians?"

"Probably not. Even if he kills, this guy will only kill half of them."

"Huh? Why?"

Rango didn't answer and flew directly into the air. When he saw the largest building on the entire surface of the earth, he grabbed Thor's collar and flew over with him.

Thor has never had the ability to fly. The only reason he can fly is because of the powerful inertia generated when he swings Mjolnir. Now that he has lost Mjolnir, his strength has dropped by at least 70% to 80%.

Behind him, Yumi followed suit and grabbed Miles' collar with both paws, following closely behind Rango.

Soon, the group arrived in front of a huge palace.

Unlike the magnificent Golden Palace of Asgard, this palace made of metal looks cold, hard and heavy. Coupled with the bloodstains and corpses in front of the palace gate, it gives people a feeling of depression.

"Etri!"

As soon as Thor entered the door, he shouted anxiously, but after just a few shouts, a surprised smile appeared on his face.

Not far away, a giant who was more than ten meters tall, short in stature and with a big beard was sitting on the throne, his eyes full of fatigue and sadness.

"Are you okay, Atri?"

Thor flew over and was about to greet him when the corpse-like giant suddenly moved.

A huge metal palm slapped Thor with a sonic boom, sending him flying dozens of meters away. It only stopped after making a dent in the wall of the palace.

"Asgard is supposed to protect us!"

Aitri shouted at Thor with a loud voice, his eyes full of anger and disappointment, "You are not worthy of being king! Where is Odin? Has he forgotten his original promise?"

"Father has gone to Valhalla"

Thor slowly got up from the ground, his eyes full of self-blame and pain: "I'm sorry, I haven't been in Asgard all this time. What happened? Is it Thanos?"

Upon hearing the news of Odin's death, Aitri's body shook slightly, as if he had lost all support, and he sat down weakly on the ground.

"Thanos led the Dark Quadrant's army to capture Nidave."

Aitri's voice was low and heavy, filled with endless sorrow and anger. "He threatened me with the lives of my people and asked me to make the Infinity Gauntlet for him. However, when I exhausted all my efforts to complete the gauntlet, he broke his promise and brutally slaughtered all my people."

"Kill them all? Not even half of you left?" Rango asked curiously after hearing this.

Ai Cui was puzzled when he heard this: "Why did he keep half?"

"Uh, nothing, just continue."

Glancing at Rango, Atre continued, "The leader of the massacre was a man called General Grim Reaper. He held a blade that was much sharper than ordinary divine weapons. All the tribesmen were slaughtered before him."

After Thor heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "I will avenge Nidave! Asgard is gathering its army, and it won't be long before we launch a general attack on the Dark Quadrant and Thanos's gang. When the time comes, I will get back Nidave's blood debt with interest!"

As he spoke, Thor untied the bag behind him, revealing Mjolnir that had been broken into dozens of pieces.

His voice was full of determination: "As long as you can reforge Mjolnir, my divine power combined with the hammer you forge will definitely defeat Thanos!"

However, when Ai Cui looked at the fragments, a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

He raised his mechanical arms and shook his head helplessly: "Why do you think I installed this pair of mechanical arms? My arms have been chopped off by General Grim Reaper. Now I am no longer able to forge any weapons. And..."

He turned his head and looked beside the throne, where lay a giant who looked somewhat similar to him, but had fallen in a pool of blood.

"Even if my arms were still there, I would not be able to forge another divine weapon. My skills had already begun to degenerate hundreds of years ago. Although the Infinity Gauntlet was forged by me, it was my child who contributed most of the effort. Unless he can come back to life, otherwise..."

At this moment, Rango's voice suddenly echoed in the hall, interrupting Etri's words:
"Resurrection? Are you sure it's that simple? Don't you need anything else?"
