Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

“Everyone has secrets, doesn’t they, Ancient One?” Rhodes said with a smile.

The more mysterious you remain, the more the Ancient One will fear you; this is a very effective means of maintaining a balance of power.

In the original comics, the Destroyer armor was a weapon created by Odin using the combined power of all the gods on Earth. It was originally intended to fight the Celestials, and Odin's power would increase dramatically after wearing it. However, he was ultimately defeated by the Celestials. (To clarify, the Celestials in the comics were initially introduced as a background element, but they were actually personified by Marvel's editors. Later, with the explosive development of comic book storylines, and most importantly, the unfolding of the Secret Wars, the overall power of the Marvel universe increased, rendering the Celestials less significant.)

Basically, any major event's boss can bully them. In the cinematic universe, they're called the Celestials, a kind of planetary spirit concept, very similar to the Titans in World of Warcraft.

However, in the cinematic universe, the Asgardian Destroyer armor is more like a combat robot, and its combat power is not that great; it can't even beat Thor.

Furthermore, Odin did not choose to retrieve the Destroyer Armor after the war, so this thing should not be very strong.

“That armor isn’t very powerful. Odin once tried to use it against some powerful enemies, but ultimately failed. If it gets damaged, it won’t be of much use to you,” the Ancient One said.

“I was mainly drawn to the metal inside. Om metal from the Aesir,” Rhodes said.

In World of Warcraft, there are various top-tier ores such as Titan Iron, Saronite, and Legion Felsteel, but they are still inferior to the Ommetal of the Aesir gods.

The weapons crafted from this thing are truly overpowered. Whether it's the Stormbreaker, Thor's hammer, or Odin's spear, their power is extremely formidable, and they also possess various special abilities.

"?? You actually know about ohmmetal? You think ohmmetal was used to forge the Destroyer Armor?" The Ancient One asked with a slight smile.

You idiot, what do you think ohm metal is?

That's a special metal mined by the dwarves, with an incredibly low yield.

Even in Asgard, only kings and princes are entitled to wield royal weapons forged from ohm metal.

The Destroyer Armor was not made of ohm metal; otherwise, Odin would have definitely recycled it and reused it to make weapons instead of discarding it.

Otherwise, do you really think that Aegis-level technology could melt this armor?

Even in the universe, only the dwarves, using furnaces made from neutron stars, can melt ohmic metal.

“No matter what, it’s still better than those metal materials in the mortal world! I shouldn’t have any problem getting it back,” Rhodes said.

Anyway, I haven't reached the level of a true god yet! I don't want to use ohm metal for now, but no matter what, Doomsday's armor is made of top-quality materials, and it has withstood several blows from Thor's hammer.

“That’s fine. If you insist on having this armor, then go ahead and take it! But whatever you do, don’t interfere in the affairs between those two princes, and absolutely do not show yourself. This concerns their fate, and also the future development of the universe,” the Ancient One said.

Both Loki and Thor are crucial to this universe, and absolutely no mistakes can be made.

In the future, Loki may even become the god of time.

"Don't worry, Ancient One, I only want the benefits, not the trouble," Rhodes said.

“Then I’m relieved. Actually, if you want good metal, I can give you some vibranium,” Gu Yi said.

Vibranium? Okay! As the guardian of Earth, the Ancient One, who is basically a top-tier fighter, should be able to get it if she really wanted to. Black Panther, the king of Wakanda throughout history, should also know that the Supreme Law exists.

Moreover, unlike ohm metal, vibranium is produced in large quantities and has strong defensive capabilities; at least Captain America's shield can withstand Thor's hammer.

Thinking about it this way, Rhodes even wanted to move the entire vibranium mountain range. Besides vibranium, Wakanda actually had other good things, such as a certain heart-shaped grass.

"Then it's settled. Next time you bring life magic, or some good stuff from other worlds, I'll get you some vibranium," the Ancient One said.

"Uh! I thought you had one ready-made here!" Rod said with a smile.

What's going on? I thought you had one ready-made here!

You little bastard, you're not trying to get something for nothing, are you? When you tried to do something with me before, it wasn't a deal, it was a direct threat.

You're not giving me anything, yet you expect me to use my connections to beg Wakanda?

“I understand, Ancient One. Actually, I have some gadgets right now, like this stone, which can heal injuries very well, as long as the person isn’t dead.” After saying that, Rhodes immediately used his fel magic to create a soul furnace on the ground.

This item allows all teammates to create a healing stone, limited to thirty players.

"This, this, this was made by your evil magic? This magic even has the ability to heal injuries?" The Ancient One looked at the Soul Forge in front of her and said.

“Of course, although it is evil magic, the person who developed it was definitely trying to protect the world. Besides that, there are many other very useful spells,” Rhodes said.

“Thank you! I don’t want to study these things, please don’t bring out such things. As long as it’s not evil magic, or anything made with his power, I’m willing to trade with you,” the Ancient One said.

Sometimes, evil magic will show you its beautiful side, and then gradually tempt you to use its power and learn this spell.

For example, power from the dark dimension can rapidly increase a mage's strength, even granting them eternal life.

“Alright! Then, Ancient One, I’ll take my leave.” Rhodes smiled, waved his hand to open a portal that sparkled with fire, and then stepped inside.

“Goodbye, Mr. Rhodes. I hope you will keep your promise. Although it was only a verbal agreement, I still choose to believe in your character,” the Ancient One said.

"Heh! Trust your judgment, you didn't trust the wrong person." Rhodes closed the portal after saying that.

"Is the Sorcerer Supreme really an existence from another dimension or space?" A man appeared before the Ancient One after Rhodes left and asked.

“Mordo! Yes, he does come from another dimension, but he is not some evil demon god,” the Ancient One said.

“Supreme Sorcerer! Didn’t you teach us that we should not compromise with evil forces? But why?” Mordo asked hesitantly.

“I did say that, but this person isn’t an evil force; he’s the kind of person you can communicate with. If you can communicate with someone, then making some compromises occasionally isn’t necessarily a bad thing,” the Ancient One said.

His disciple was originally the most outstanding successor, and should have been the true candidate for the Supreme Master, but his heart was somewhat extreme, and the future he saw was not very good.

I gave him several tests, but ultimately I didn't get satisfactory results.

“Alright, Mordo, go and teach the new disciples magic! They are the future of Kamar-Taj. I’m a little tired after a busy night,” the Ancient One said.

“Yes, Supreme Mage. I will go and instruct the new disciples now,” Mordo said.

Gu Yi nodded, watched his apprentice leave, and then closed the door to his room.

She then chanted a spell, and a scene appeared before her, depicting New Mexico, where the Warriors Four from Asgard had already descended upon Earth.

While they are reuniting with Thor, Loki in Asgard has already begun his own operations.

"Please do not interfere in the affairs between the two princes, Mr. Rhodes, outsider."

At this time, Rhodes also arrived in New Mexico.

Chapter 138 Recovering the Destroyer Armor and Returning to Azeroth

Upon arriving in New Mexico, Rhodes cast an invisibility spell on himself and began watching the battle between the Warriors Four and the Destroyer.

The Warriors Four were considered top-tier generals in Asgard, but compared to the Destroyer, they were far inferior.

The massive Destroyer mech had a hole cracked open in its head mask, unleashing a huge shockwave of flames.

In just a few rounds, the four warriors of the Heavenly Palace were all defeated.

"Don't kill them, my brother. The one you want is me. Come on." At this moment, Thor, who had become a mortal, opened his arms and looked at the huge Destroyer armor in front of him, saying.

Let me end this all myself. My brother, if you really want the throne of Asgard so badly, then I'll give it to you.

Loki, far away in Asgard, smirked and let the Warriors Four go. He then headed towards Thor.

"These two brothers really have a love-hate relationship. Although Loki always stabs you in the back, he never manages to kill you!" Rhodes, who was watching the show from the sidelines, said.

These two brothers are truly a classic case of love-hate relationship, with countless betrayals and countless alliances.

At this moment, the Destroyer armor had already easily punched Thor away. Still a mortal, Thor instantly collapsed to the ground, near death.

But the adorable younger brother didn't go over to finish off his beloved older brother, giving up the chance to deliver the final blow.

Then, they watched helplessly as Thor's hammer flew towards them from afar, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck down from the sky, and Thor made a dazzling entrance as the God of Thunder.

What follows is the story of a hero's entrance: Thor, wielding his hammer, successfully smashes the Destroyer armor to pieces.

After a series of cheesy love words, Thor and the Warriors Four of Asgard returned to Asgard together on the Rainbow Bridge.

“Don’t worry, he’ll come back. He promised you.” Daisy approached Dr. Jane and said.

“Yes, I knew he would come back to me,” Jane said.

At this moment, the female PhD student had a happy smile on her face, but Rod knew that this love story would eventually end in tragedy.

A mortal and a god are not a match. The huge difference in their lifespans already limits everything. Even if Dr. Jane doesn't get a terminal illness in the future, this relationship won't last long.

If they truly want to be together forever, then Thor must find a way to prolong Dr. Jane's life; otherwise, their love is destined to end in tragedy.

Having watched the show, Rhodes also began to take action. The Destroyer's armor had been scattered all over the ground in the battle, and Rhodes began to collect the fragments one by one.

If I don't accept it, the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. will come and clean up the mess. I can let anyone else benefit, but I can't let S.H.I.E.L.D. benefit!

"Wait, why? Why did those fragments disappear on their own?" Daisy suddenly nudged Dr. Jane, who was lost in her own fantasy of her hero, pointed around, and asked.

After the fierce battle, the fragments of the Destroyer armor that were scattered all over the ground began to disappear one by one, as if an invisible hand was picking them up.

"Could this be some kind of alien technology? Asgard is retrieving their stuff," Dr. Iris said from the side.

"But why do I have this feeling? It's like there's some invisible guy picking up these things?" Daisy said, looking speechless.

“This must be Asgardian magic. After all, even if something is broken, they still have to take it back,” Dr. Eric said.

This is normal; this is what a higher civilization should do.

While the group was talking, Rhodes had already cleaned up the Destroyer fragments. Now that Thor had completely smashed it into scrap metal, it could only be melted down and remade.

However, ordinary furnaces cannot melt this thing, after all, it is a weapon created by Asgard.

After collecting all the fragments of the Destroyer Armor, Rhode made no attempt to reveal his identity and left immediately.

Rhodes successfully completed his planned objectives during this trip to the Marvel universe and even gained some additional benefits.

But we still have half a day, should we make the most of it? Like, maybe get some weapons or something.

Anyway, now that I have the teleportation ability, it's time to let my father-in-law see modern weaponry.

Next, Rhodes went directly to a U.S. military base near New Mexico and packed up all sorts of modern weapons, including missiles, tanks, helicopters, and rocket launchers.

"Enemy! Enemy, enemy attack!" the soldier watching the monitor cried out in panic.

A large group of American soldiers watched helplessly as all the planes, tanks, artillery, and advanced weapons in their military base vanished one by one into thin air.

But they were helpless and didn't even know what was going on.

"Go ahead and make the call! We can't handle this," the commander at the military base said with a sigh.

"Forgive me! Forgive me! You're just using these things to bully those poor guys in the Middle East. Let me take care of them for you!"

Over the next half day, Rhodes traversed half of western America, raiding three American military bases in succession.

During this time, there were no casualties, and I perfectly kept my promise to the Ancient One: I would only take things and would never hurt anyone.

When the three days were up, Rhodes broke through the spatial barrier and temporarily left the Marvel universe.

"Enough, what other bad news do you have to tell me?" At this moment, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., with his bald head, was frowning in his office.
