The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapter 337 Chapter 590 Chapter 591 The Plague-Infected [Immortal Palace]

"Damn it! Can anyone tell me how those Dark Elves were able to build so many factories of such a massive scale in just a few days?"

The veins on the back of Thor's hand bulged, and he clenched his big hand holding the ore violently. Immediately, a subtle sound of stone breaking and rubbing came from the palm of his hand, and powder and tiny particles fell from the gaps between his fingertips.

Rumbling--

At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the distant valley, and then Thor and others saw several [Dark Elf] transport ships using slings and steel cables to pull out the wreckage of several severely damaged giant spaceships from under the ground like pulling carrots, and then dragging them in a certain direction.

"That is……"

Thor keenly noticed that the wreckage of the severely damaged giant spaceships was almost the same in shape as the "cross-shaped mothership" that Malekith rode when he attacked Asgard. It was very likely that they were left over from the great war thousands of years ago.

What exactly do these [Dark Elves] want to do with the wreckage of these spaceships?
"Your Highness, look at the sky over there!"

At this moment, a scout who was accompanying them suddenly pointed at an area on the right side of the group and exclaimed in surprise. Thor and others hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a huge jagged crack suddenly appeared in the scarlet clouds, as terrifying as a giant demon's mouth full of fangs that appeared out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, a huge "cross-shaped" spaceship flew out from the crack and slowly hovered in the air.

The transport ships that had previously dragged the wreckage of the spacecraft were destined for this very large rift—a rift that led directly into the interior of the [Subspace]!
After seeing this, if Thor still cannot react to what Malekith and the Dark Elves are trying to do, then he is really unworthy of inheriting the throne of Asgard.

Thor's pupils suddenly contracted, and he cried out in shock, "Damn it! Could it be that those Dark Elves are planning to use the wreckage of those spaceships to build new ones within the Warp?"

Under normal circumstances, even if the Dark Elves took a 'shortcut' and directly used the wreckage of those spaceships as the skeleton of a new spaceship, it would still take at least ten years to rebuild a brand new cross-shaped spaceship.

After all, the huge size of the cross-shaped spacecraft is there.

However, when the wreckage of these spacecraft was brought into the [subspace] for repair and reconstruction, the situation became completely different.

Because Thor clearly remembered that Carl had told him in Sokovia that the subspace was an extremely special dimensional space, which was completely unaffected by the concept of 'time'.

In other words... one thought is eternity!
So theoretically, as long as there are enough raw materials, the [Dark Elves] can completely exploit the bug in the [Subspace] - that is, complete the entire process of manufacturing and assembling the cross-shaped spacecraft in the [Subspace], and then launch the cross-shaped spacecraft into the real world through the [Subspace Crack].

This way, you can easily accomplish the miraculous feat of 'building a spaceship in an instant'!!
Thinking of this, Thor fixed his eyes directly on the huge mining plant in the distance.

Now, if we want to stop the Dark Elves' plan and delay the construction of the cross-shaped spacecraft to the maximum extent, the only way is probably to destroy the ore raw materials that are continuously transported into the Subspace.

However, these mining sites are distributed in different areas of the entire planet. Unless a large-scale military force can be deployed at one time, it is simply impossible to completely destroy these mining sites.

However, due to the influence of the subspace energy, the [Rainbow Bridge] is still unable to perform normal space teleportation to [Wat Alheim].

The method of teleporting using [Dark Energy] was too dangerous, and it was already very good if half of the troops could be delivered here alive.

And the space crack they had just passed through was only big enough for a small flying boat to pass through, making it impossible to transport large numbers of troops...

Furthermore, those Dark Elf warriors blessed by the [Four Chaos Gods] are far more powerful than ordinary Asgardian warriors...

And the tens of thousands of Frost Giants summoned by Malekith, who had already transformed into Nurgle Plague Walkers, made people's scalps tingle...

"Damn it, Loki, I should have brought you here to see what you've done!!"

Thor showed a look of unwillingness on his face, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

He really wanted to rush into those mining sites with Thor's Hammer and wreak havoc, just like he did in the past.

But doing so would likely backfire. Not only would it fail to solve any problems, but it would also speed up the Dark Elves' actions.

Just as Thor was hesitating whether to turn back, a scout on guard behind him suddenly shouted a warning, "Enemy spotted on the west cliff..."

Before he finished speaking, three extremely strong figures suddenly jumped straight down from the top of the rock wall.

Boom boom boom——

Three [Chaos Curse Warriors] covered in sharp bone spurs fell heavily to the ground, causing the entire area to tremble violently.

There was bloody chaos fire burning in their eye sockets, and they were obviously believers under the command of Khorne.

Without any hesitation, the three [Chaos Curse Warriors] immediately charged towards Thor and the others, leaving a series of huge charred footprints on the ground.

"Leave these three guys to me, you guys go first..."

Thor twirled Thor's hammer in his hand while shouting, "Split your forces into two groups and rush back to Asgard to report to my father what's happening here. Tell him that the Dark Elves are using the Warp to build spaceships..."

Also, rush all the way to Nidavellir to inform the Dwarf King and have his blacksmiths check all the Blackstone Obelisks to see if they are functioning properly!

After saying that, Thor activated the [Power of Thor] in his body and, with the help of the [Thor's Hammer], sent down a giant lightning bolt from the sky, directly blasting away the two [Chaos Curse Warriors] who were the first to bear the brunt of the lightning.

However, apart from wisps of green smoke rising from their bodies, they did not suffer any damage at all.

Seeing this, Thor couldn't help but force a helpless smile on his face, "Looks like I'm going to be busy today!!"

…………

……

【Asgard】.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Ah, doctor, save me, I feel like something is torturing my soul, ah, it hurts so much..."

The [Infirmary] deep within [Asgard] was already overflowing. Doctors bustled back and forth, but the number of patients seeking treatment had not decreased, but instead increased. Even the corridor outside was packed with Asgardian warriors standing, sitting, and lying down, waiting in line for treatment.

The sounds of wailing and screaming were endless...

Almost all of these people have one thing in common, that is, they all suddenly contracted this unknown strange disease in recent days.

At first, some people only experienced symptoms like a mild cold, with just a fever and cough.

Therefore, all the doctors, including El, the first female medical officer of Asgard, did not realize that the sudden surge in patients would trigger an unprecedented viral crisis.

So, only two days passed, and among those soldiers who had received simple medical treatment, the condition of some weaker soldiers worsened first, and they began to suffer from massive intra-abdominal bleeding, and let out inexplicable wails and screams with horrified expressions.

After a careful examination, the doctors discovered that the soldiers' internal organs seemed to be suffering fatal damage from some unknown virus.

However... they were helpless. Faced with an unknown virus, the doctors could only try their best to calm the soldiers and increase the dosage of painkillers and sedatives.

In Odin's bedroom, the exquisite glass made of colored crystal seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, dark and depressing.

The [Flower of Eternity] placed on the carved wooden stand was almost withered.

The back of the leaf, which was once as bright and dazzling as emerald, is now covered with spider-web-like black veins, as if it had been eroded by some virus.

Odin sat powerlessly on the throne, the light in his one eye dimmer than before.

"Cough cough... poof..."

Odin coughed violently several times, then spat out a mouthful of foul black blood. This startled the female medical officer El, who was preparing a potion for him and Queen Frigga. She quickly handed the potion over and advised with a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, you must enter the [Odin's Sleep], otherwise your condition will progress to an unpredictable level."

"I'm fine... cough cough cough..."

Odin took the medicine and drank it down in one gulp. After a long pause, he continued, "What exactly is going on with the recent plague in Asgard? Has the source been identified? Why did it spread so suddenly without any warning?"

"This one……"

El shook his head in embarrassment, and replied with a trembling voice, "For now, we only know that this plague first spread from within [Asgard], but we still have no idea about the source and nature of the plague..."

"However, judging from the symptoms displayed by some patients, this strange disease not only attacks the internal organs but also seems to affect the soul..."

"Trash, what a bunch of useless trash."

Odin roared viciously, "The Soul Forging Furnace is the most advanced medical device in the Nine Realms, yet you can't even identify this obscure disease?!"

El lowered her head silently. In fact, she really wanted to tell Odin that this plague was different from any disease she had encountered before.

Its complexity is the highest in history!

Because she actually detected dozens of completely different unknown viruses in the blood of those patients with severe bleeding, and these viruses were mutating and evolving at an extremely alarming rate.

She couldn't even tell which one of them caused the heavy bleeding... or could it be that all viruses were responsible?

However, no one, including Odin, could have imagined that the source of this "mysterious disease" was actually the "Soul-Eating Disease" that Thor brought back from "Jotunheim"! !

"Don't blame El, she's doing the best she can."

Not far away, Queen Frigga, lying on the bed with a slightly pale face, tried to support her heavy body with her arms, then rubbed her dizzy forehead and said to Odin:

"Don't worry, I believe El and the others will be able to find a cure for this plague. But before that, you must enter Odin's Sleep..."

As the Queen of Heaven, Frigga's physique is much stronger than that of ordinary Asgardians. In addition, like Odin and Thor, she also possesses a super physique that makes her immune to all diseases.

So even though he was infected with the Soul-Eating Disease early on, he did not show any symptoms.

However, as time went by, the [Soul-Eating Disease] had been eroding Queen Frigga's soul more and more deeply, and her spirit gradually began to become a little weak.

"No, wait a minute."

Odin sighed helplessly and shook his head stubbornly, "I've been feeling restless these past few days. Valhalla seems to be reminding me that something bad is about to happen!!"

"Maybe you're too anxious?"

Queen Frigga whispered in a soothing voice, "Today, Thor has successfully used the Blackstone Obelisk to curb the corruption of Chaos energy on the major nations of the Nine Realms. The Eye of Terror has also ceased its outward expansion. Everything is moving in a positive direction... Only your health is deteriorating!"

Odin on the throne shook his head again. "A few hours ago, Thor sent back news... that the large number of refugees previously abducted by the Dark Elves are all mining underground deposits in Watalheim."

"Malekith intends to use these ores to build more large spaceships in the [Warp]... I believe it won't be long before Malekith leads the [Dark Elves] to attack [Asgard] once again!"

Odin felt upset at the thought of the war that was about to be reignited.

The most important thing is that with his current poor physical condition, it is unknown whether he can hold on until that time.
"Will the war reignite?"

Somehow, the vision she had seen in the flames suddenly surfaced in Queen Frigga's mind, and she couldn't help but murmur, "Is Ragnarok really unavoidable?"

Ouch——

Suddenly, a series of strange roars were heard from somewhere in the [Asgard]. Not long after, the captain of the guards in charge of guarding the Asgard rushed into the bedroom and reported:
"Lord God King, this is bad. The [Medical Room] has suddenly been attacked by several demonic creatures of unknown origin..."
