"What, you're reluctant to part with it?" Lin Bei asked, somewhat amused.
“Indeed, a little,” Natasha said regretfully. She knew that the power gained in this way was not permanent. Once Thor's hammer was put down, she would lose the ability to control lightning, and even her enhanced physique would weaken back to its initial state.
But as the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It's one thing not to get it, but to get it and then let it go is a bitter pill to swallow.
"I made you learn those things before. Even if you didn't want to learn, those talent gems and the like would have been enough to make you stronger, but you didn't want to. Now you don't want to let go."
"Whose fault is this?" Lin Bei said, shrugging.
Suddenly, he frowned and looked up at the thick clouds.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just that a spaceship is approaching Molag Star," Lin Bei said, frowning.
Morag has been abandoned for many years. The planet's surface climate is terrible and unsuitable for colonization. Moreover, everything of value on it has long been picked clean by scavengers, so there is nothing of value left. Under normal circumstances, no one might come here for three to five years.
"Let that spaceship pass. Tell our people to stay hidden and avoid being spotted. Also, send us the coordinates of where the spaceship is docked," Lin Bei ordered over the communicator with a smirk.
At the same time, he called Natasha to board the spaceship.
People who come to Morag are either newcomers looking for bargains or searching for the Cosmic Orb. If they are the latter, they are perfect for guiding the way.
One by one, the Hydra agents concealed their warships in mid-air, activating optical camouflage mode and anti-life detection radar.
A fierce wind howled, thick clouds moved at high speed, and terrifying lightning bolts that stretched for kilometers flashed by from time to time. A jet-black spaceship passed through the clouds and hovered in mid-air.
Below, jagged rocks rise into the sky.
The cracked ground was uneven, with deep fissures everywhere. Accompanied by a rumbling vibration, bursts of water erupted, turning into a torrential downpour that washed over large areas.
The black spaceship hovered in mid-air for a few seconds, found a direction, moved slowly, and finally came to rest on a relatively flat piece of ground.
Directly in front of the spaceship, the dilapidated palace is weathered beyond recognition, but its former glory and grandeur can still be vaguely seen through the half-remains. This is a civilization that has been forgotten for many years.
A figure shrouded in white robes stepped off the spaceship. The way she moved confirmed that she was female, at least physiologically. Behind her were 30 fully armed soldiers.
The white-robed man looked up at the dilapidated palace, took out a locator to confirm the location, and said in a hoarse voice, "This is it. The location of the Cosmic Spirit Orb is right here. I hope this time I can give the master some good news!"
The white-robed soldiers led their way through the palace gates, clearing away obstacles and advancing straight to the central area.
"Boss, what if we just let them in and they beat us to it?" Natasha still didn't know what Lin Bei was looking for.
"It's okay, let them help clear the way, so we don't have to do it ourselves."
At this moment, Lin Bei's communicator rang again, from the Hydra warship responsible for keeping watch in outer orbit.
It is said that Asgardian warships jumped into outer space and deployed three landing ships.
Lin Bei immediately sensed something was amiss. 'These two princes have come seeking revenge, or rather, to retrieve Thor's hammer.'
He couldn't help but glance at the female Thor beside him.
A slight smile played on his lips. If Thor saw this, his expression would be priceless, given that his love for the hammer was second only to his brother Loki.
Last time, Odin let Thor and Loki go in the Void, only taking Mjolnir, and has yet to react.
Lin Bei didn't believe Odin was unaware of the situation. Mjolnir was forged by Odin himself, and the change of user would definitely not have been kept from him.
Odin knew that the hammer had been stolen, but he remained silent and pretended not to see it. This was clearly a test for Thor, an opportunity for him to mature and at least stop trying to solve problems with brute force.
Odin's efforts were truly commendable, and Lin Bei felt he should cooperate with him, after all, they were business partners, and Odin had even given him many gifts at his succession ceremony.
Since the two princes are already here, they shouldn't leave. How about we get them a VIP room and have Asgard pay the bill? It would seem like Lin Bei is a bit inhospitable.
Such an experience
It will definitely help them mature a lot.
……
Deep within the palace ruins, in stark contrast to the dilapidated state of the outside world, this place is remarkably well-preserved. Apart from a few specks of dust, time seems to have stood still here.
At the end, the massive stone gate was tightly closed, with countless intricate openwork patterns carved on the gate and walls. In the gaps, strands of energy flowed at a steady pace.
It's truly unbelievable that the energy array of the ruins on Morag, a planet that has been abandoned for countless years, can still continue to operate.
The white-robed man and his entourage of soldiers stopped at the entrance. The trap they had encountered earlier had cost them many men. He looked at the keyhole engraved with intricate patterns, tilted his head slightly, and extended his arm, which was covered by black armor, and plunged it in like a claw.
Under the grasp of his fingers, the thick wall crumbled like tofu, accompanied by a flash of black light.
The old keyhole shattered instantly, and the tightly closed stone door began to slowly open to both sides.
Inside the stone chamber, the Cosmic Spirit Orb floats on the original platform, enveloped by several high-density beams of light, completely isolating it from the outside world.
"Cosmic Orb!"
Overjoyed, the man in white robes raised his hand to grab the cosmic orb.
Suddenly, sensing the commotion behind him, he whirled around and grabbed a soldier to shield himself.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Gunfire erupted. The stone chamber was confined and offered no cover, leaving the white-robed soldiers exposed to the hail of bullets. Their armored defenses were formidable, managing to withstand the special armor-piercing explosive rounds fired from the electromagnetic weaponry.
"Zzzzz! Click!"
Natasha flashed out, raised Thor's hammer high, and unleashed lightning to clear the area. After the lightning subsided, only the white-robed figure remained, barely standing, inside the stone chamber.
"Honestly, you should have just lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead."
Lin Bei shook his head and waved to the Hydra agents behind him.
A hail of bullets struck the white-robed man, followed by a series of loud explosions that forced him to retreat step by step.
It seems that ordinary firearms cannot penetrate the opponent's defenses.
A Hydra agent stepped forward, carrying a single-soldier launcher as thick as a water bucket.
The magical patterns etched on the cannon barrel glowed red.
Then a high-intensity magic cannonball blasted her, blasting her into the wall.
The white-robed man's foot trembled slightly outside the ruins, then drooped down after a few seconds.
On the other side, Bucky extended his vibranium arm, took the cosmic orb from the high-density light barrier, and handed it to Lin Bei.
Lin Bei glanced meaningfully at the white-robed figure embedded in the wall, then called out, "Let's go, get ready to welcome the two princes."
After the group left.
The white-robed figure, who had been driven into the wall, shakily crawled out.
He groped around in his lower back and pulled out a communicator, then pressed the button on it.
"Thanos, my master, I have found the Power Stone, and that person..."
Chapter 226
Three landing ships broke through the clouds and slowly descended to the ground. Leading them were Loki and Thor, dressed in red and green, while behind them were the Warriors Three of Asgard.
They are Vostagg, Hogan, Fandral, and the female warrior Sif.
Asgardians are born strong; even the average inhabitant has a body density three times that of Earthlings, possesses an exceptionally long lifespan and immunity to disease, and has thick skin and excellent resistance to blows.
Compared to ordinary people, they are much stronger, but compared to superheroes or supervillains, their strength is somewhat lacking, similar to super soldiers, neither the best nor the worst.
Lin Bei and his group were powerful and possessed Thor's hammer.
Thor and Loki alone are no match for each other. If they were to face each other again, Thor would be utterly humiliated once more. Thor couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't go all out this time.
Thor originally wanted to call on the Asgardian soldiers he had followed to help, but in the end only the Warriors Three of Asgard were available.
Thor took it as a test from his father.
The Warriors Three of Asgard were all elite warriors, far stronger than ordinary Asgardian warriors.
The climate on Morag is terrible. Torrential rain and strong winds are commonplace, often accompanied by earthquakes, thunderstorms, and volcanic eruptions.
The light of stars can only be seen for a very short time throughout the year.
"Loki, we didn't track the wrong target, did we?" Thor was carrying a giant hammer, which he had to use as a substitute since he no longer had Mjolnir.
Loki looked at the compass-like detector in his hand. "Their final destination is here. This is a magical detector that I got at a high price. It won't make a mistake."
They should be hiding nearby. I'll go ahead and scout ahead.
Wait for my good news. Stay here and don't wander around.
After saying a few words, Loki vanished on the spot.
However, he knew Thor would definitely ignore what he said.
Twenty seconds later, Thor kicked, leaving behind rubble at his feet.
He completely disregarded Loki's instructions.
He waved and led the three warriors of Asgard to begin exploring the surrounding area.
Thor and his men began their reckless search.
"boom!"
Thor stopped in his tracks, as if he had bumped into something.
Staring at the open space in front of him.
Loki withdrew his magic, staring at Thor with a face full of black lines.
"Loki, how's the situation over there?"
"What's going on? You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Thor asked in confusion, "Didn't you go scout ahead?"
Loki: "You f... how much time has passed?!"
Thor: "..."
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
"Fine, you can come with us!"
After saying that, Thor walked past Loki.
