Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

"Let's go, it'll be dangerous here soon."

"boom!"

The moment he finished speaking, his inner universe blazed up, and a crimson light enveloped him completely.

next second.

With a loud blast of air, Mike, who had been standing still, was instantly shot off like a crimson arrow across the gray plain, hurtling into the distance.

Natik, inside the igloo, stared at the scene with his mouth agape, unable to recover for a long time.

soon.

After finally coming to his senses, Natik gasped in shock before turning around and packing up his belongings in the igloo, preparing to leave for the time being.

at the same time.

Mike finally met the legendary Dark Elf King, who was said to be able to rival the God King Poll and who was still alive even after the God King Poll died, on the ice cap about three kilometers away from the Natik Igloo.

Malekith.

Malekith, a dark elf with a face that was half white and half black, long and pointed elven ears, a pale and ferocious appearance, and wearing a black cloak and armor with metallic silver embellishments, looked at Mike who appeared before him as he broke through the air.

He had a well-proportioned and upright figure, much like an unyielding pine tree. He had short, golden hair, a well-defined face, and a pair of striking deep blue eyes, like those of the deep sea.

Eyes facing each other.

Malekith, the dark elf, spoke first, looking at Mike who had appeared before him: "Malikis, leader of the dark elves, king of the kingdom of Wat Alheim."

Mike responded, "Mike Ametra, Saint Seiya."

Compared to Malekith's self-introduction.

Mike's self-introduction was rather unremarkable.

Especially since there are no Saints in this universe, Malekith racked his brains but still couldn't understand what Michael meant by Saints.

But Malekith wasn't there to play any game of getting to know Mike.

He came for the Ether.

Thousands of years ago, Malekith, who was defeated by the god-king Bohr, had his Aether stolen, and was expelled from the World Tree, set his sights on the present day, thousands of years later.

Thousands of years ago, Malekith knew that the once-in-a-millennium gathering of the Nine Realms was happening now, so Malekith decisively chose to freeze himself in ice.

This is why, even though God King Bohr is already dead, he can still live.

Malekith has only one goal.

Let the World Tree return to the Dark Ages, to the era once ruled by the Dark Elves.

To achieve all this, the convergence of the Nine Realms and the Ether Particles are both indispensable.

The spectacular gathering of the nine realms is about to occur.

But the Aether particles are no longer in Asgard.

After being thawed, Malekith immediately sent men to infiltrate Asgard and launched a surprise attack.

His goal was to obtain the Aether particles that he believed would be stored in Asgard by God-King Bohr after he was defeated.

Yes.

After Malekith awoke, he believed that the Aether particles were still under Asgard's control.

So even without Mike's intervention, he still led his dark elves to attack Asgard.

Just like in the original story, Queen Frigga was killed in this attack.

Moreover, because Jane Foster did not disappear from Heimdall's sight this time, Thor did not come to Earth to take Jane Foster to Asgard. And when Malekith attacked Asgard, Thor and his Warriors Three went to the land of the Frost Giants to quell the rebellion that broke out there once again.

By the time Thor received the news and rushed back to Asgard, Malekith had already left.

Odin, the king of the gods, sat silently on the floor of the destroyed Golden Palace, his arms around Frigg, who had already been killed.

Furthermore, because they did not know about the Aether beforehand, Thor and Odin, the king of the gods, did not yet know the specific reason why Malekith attacked Asgard again after thousands of years.

However, none of this could stop Thor's determination to avenge his mother.

Just like in the original story, Thor, with the help of his half-brother, and the Warriors Three of Asgard, traveled to the land of the Dark Elves through a secret passage in Asgard.

However, Malekith, the Dark Elf, was not in the Dark Elf realm. Instead, after leaving Asgard, he sensed the presence of Aether particles in a mirage that appeared during the window of the Nine Realms' convergence. He then brought his cursed warrior here through the mirage, which briefly appeared through a two-way portal.

She came up to Mike.

Malekith's gaze fell on Mike in front of him, his voice calm but carrying an air of unyielding authority.

“You took one of my things, now it’s time to return it to me.”

You mean this?

Mike didn't mince words; the moment he opened his right hand, crimson ether particles wriggled and gathered in his palm.

next second.

He looked at Malekith, the dark elf.

"Feel sorry."

"It's not for sale!"

"..."

9. One-hit kill on the cursed warrior!

Mike actually felt that he could be friends with Malekith, the Dark Elf.

Because they all have a common enemy.

Asgard.

Malekith, the dark elf, wanted to destroy Asgard and plunge the Nine Realms back into the Dark Ages.

Mike, on the other hand, wanted to kill Loki to avenge his adoptive parents.

But if he were to kill Loki, Loki's half-brother Thor would certainly not stand idly by, and even Odin, the king of the gods, would probably side with Loki.

Despite Loki taking so many lives in the Battle of New York on Earth.

but……

Humans don't care how many ants die because of them.

The same is true!

Odin, the king of the gods of Asgard, and Thor, the god of thunder, wouldn't care how many Earthlings died because of Loki.

one more time.

If Odin, the king of the gods, truly treated all life in the nine realms equally, then he wouldn't have simply imprisoned Loki.

and so!

Mike genuinely felt that he and the dark elf Malekith shared a common language.

The premise is that Malekith doesn't covet his Reality Stone.

Mike's universe is only able to materialize here because of the existence of the Reality Stone.

But this manifestation is not eternal.

If he loses the Reality Stone, he will also lose his Cosmo.

Unless he one day awakens the Eighth Sense and successfully transforms from a Gold Saint comparable to a god into a true god, because gods are eternal and unique, even if he loses the Reality Stone, his cosmos will not disappear.

But that's a matter for the future.

In short, for Mike right now, the Reality Stone is not for sale.

Malekith, the dark elf, watched the aether particles flowing in Mike's palm and smiled upon hearing Mike's statement that the item was "not for sale."

"The ether is not something that life forms of your level can control."

"Look at me, I'm handling this very well now, aren't I?"

Mike smiled as well, and under the watchful gaze of Malekith, he made the ether particles change shape in his palm: "How about it, you're even more skilled at using them than when they were in your own hands."

The Reality Stone is different from the other Infinity Stones.

It is weak when facing the weak, and strong when facing the strong.

When the Reality Stone was in Jane Foster's possession, she had no idea how to use it and could only manipulate it based on her emotions, such as when she casually sent those London police officers flying.

Even so, Jane Foster fainted on the spot.

After all, Reality Gems consume mana, and without mana, they consume life.

And it's a continuous kind of problem.

So Malekith the Dark Elf was right.

The Reality Stone is something that most people cannot control.

But Mike can.

Moreover, he could guarantee that the Reality Stone would be far more effective in his hands than it was in the hands of the dark elf Malekith.

After all, while Malekith, the Dark Elf, possessed dark energy, it wasn't an inexhaustible source.

But Mike possesses the energy of a microcosm.

A continuous stream.

He wasn't afraid of the Reality Stone sucking his life force at all. The energy absorbed by the Reality Stone in the previous second would be replenished in the next second by his own microcosm, which would revolve in sync with his breathing.

Anyone who has read about the Cosmo settings in Saint Seiya knows this.

The microcosm is like a reservoir with unlimited capacity, but how much water you can pump at once (burning rate) depends on the power of your pump (the realm of the microcosm).

Therefore, Mike is not afraid at all that the Reality Stone is constantly absorbing his energy.

Is Malekith the Dark Elf a good choice?
