A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

As he spoke, he yawned, waved his hand listlessly, and the misty spatial portal opened, taking Cao Gui away. The remaining three stared at each other in disbelief. Wasn't this a holiday? Why were they just let off the hook like that?

Strange's face twitched. "I only teleported you here and I got beaten up like that, but those two stabbed you and got away with it?"

This is outrageous!

Strange was so angry his nose almost twisted. How could he be treated so unfairly?

"Ahem...Secretary Wizard. May we leave now?" Thor coughed twice and asked tentatively, having matured considerably after witnessing the battle just now.

“Yes, yes, we still need to find our father.” Loki was very clever; he knew very well that the reason Cao Gui hadn’t attacked him and Thor was because of his god-king father.

Without their fathers protecting them, the two of them would have been in a terrible situation. Just look at Strange; he didn't have a powerful figure backing him up, so when he got beaten up, he had to swallow his anger.

In fact, Loki guessed about 80% of Cao Gui's thoughts. He did not take action because of Odin's existence, but... even more so because Odin was about to die!

The old man doesn't have much time left. If he sees that I've beaten his son black and blue, and that his last moments with me are marked by a bruised and swollen face, he might get so angry that he'll drag me down with him...

The thought sent chills down Cao Gui's spine. If a dying man got angry, things would get really complicated.

Therefore, Cao Gui did not make a move this time. Anyway, Odin was going to die and would eventually be gone, so he would have plenty of opportunities.

Hearing the two brothers' words, Strange pondered for a moment, then opened a portal and teleported them out. He didn't know Odin's situation, but Strange didn't want Loki to stay on Earth; who knew what trouble he might cause.

So it's better to send them away as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

However, just as the Thor brothers left, the blue portal lit up, and Cao Gui walked in again.

"Wang Defa?!" Strange's eyes widened. What was going on?

"Is there any way to see what's going on with Odin's family?" Cao Gui asked. "Odin's behavior is very abnormal. For the first time in countless years, he has exiled himself. This is very unusual."

Upon hearing Cao Gui's words, Strange's expression changed slightly. After a moment of thought, he nodded in agreement. When Odin appeared on Earth earlier and expressed his desire to banish him, Strange felt something was amiss.

“Yes, but Odin, the King of Gods, is very strong…” Strange said with some concern.

Cao Gui remained silent, merely observing him calmly. The Supreme Mage might not be exceptionally powerful, but his methods were outrageously numerous.

The Ancient One was like that; she couldn't defeat Dormammu, but by absorbing the power of the Dark Dimension and using dimensional arrays, she managed to hold off Dormammu for countless years.

Strange went even further, becoming the Sorcerer Supreme in less than a year, yet he managed to fight Thanos, who possessed four Infinity Stones, to a standstill using his magic.

With Cao Gui's current strength, he is confident that he can easily defeat Thanos with one Infinity Stone. If Thanos has two, the situation becomes more uncertain. If there are three... Cao Gui is confident that he can hold his own if the Power Stone is not among them. If it is, then he might as well give up and go to sleep.

“Well, there is a way…” Strange shrugged, and as he spoke, a faint white light shone in his hands, and the Eye of Agamotto slowly floated up.

This thing is a Time Stone, but it's not just a Time Stone; it's also a magical artifact, an artifact that can monitor dimensions.

Odin is an outsider, so it's reasonable to use this to observe him, since that's exactly what the Sorcerer Supreme does.

Before long, a beam of white light shot out, transforming into a screen of light, and a green seaside cliff appeared in Cao Gui and Strange's sight.

In his line of sight, Odin stared blankly at the boundless sea, his expression dazed.

“Father, we’ve come to take you home,” Thor said softly, standing beside Odin.

“Go home? Oh, yes, your mother is calling me…” Odin said slowly, gazing at the sea in a daze.

These words left Thor and Loki completely bewildered and at a loss for words.

Strange's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Cao Gui with some surprise. Cao Gui shrugged and nodded.

"Loki, break your spell!" Thor said in a deep voice, his brow furrowed.

Loki shook his head, his expression grave, and remained silent. Unlike Thor, he understood the unspoken meaning in Odin's words.

"Heh, getting rid of your magic is indeed a bit difficult." Odin patted Loki on the shoulder: "Your mother will be very proud of you."

With that, Odin took the hands of his two sons: "Sit with me for a while, my time is running out."

Upon hearing this, Thor, Loki, and even Strange, who was observing from the Mirror Dimension, all understood that Odin's time was drawing near.

“I never imagined that Odin, the King of Gods, would also be leaving…” Strange’s expression was solemn. As the Sorcerer Supreme, he knew very well why Earth had remained safe and sound until now.

Earth is located at the edge of the solar system, a remote and unknown place in the universe. Therefore, lower-level civilizations are unaware of this place, and even if they were, they would not want to come.

High-level civilizations, intimidated by the Sorcerer Supreme's reputation, dared not set foot here easily. Furthermore, since this place was nominally under the jurisdiction of Asgard, no one would easily provoke Odin, so Earth has remained peaceful to this day.

However, the Ancient One has already passed away, and his successor has not reached the same level as the Ancient One... at least not yet.

Now that Odin is about to depart, it's foreseeable that Earth will soon be far from peaceful...

Thinking of this, Strange felt heavy-hearted and desperately wanted to improve his strength.

In the light screen, Odin slowly spoke of Hela and told his two sons that Ragnarok had come and could not be stopped. After speaking, he turned into golden dust and drifted into the sea, disappearing completely.

“Sigh…” Strange sighed deeply. Although he had expected it, witnessing Odin’s departure still made Strange sigh.

"Stop sighing, an even fiercer one is coming from over there," Cao Gui said, pursing his lips in annoyance.

"Huh?" Strange was taken aback. He had been worried about his own situation and had been distracted, so he hadn't heard anything about Hela.

But when Cao Gui pointed it out, he immediately remembered. Although Odin's words went in one ear and out the other, who was Strange? A true genius, a medical doctor.

He had studied books all his way up, and while his other skills might be average, his memory was absolutely phenomenal. In a short moment, Strange remembered Hela.

In the light screen, a dark green light suddenly shone, and a strange-looking portal appeared. The elven queen with smoky makeup swayed her figure and slowly walked out from it.

------------

Chapter 468 Supreme Mage, you didn't want this either...

"Hela, the Goddess of Death?" Strange's expression changed slightly. This was the first time he had heard of this name today. Even as the Sorcerer Supreme, he had never come across any information about her.

"Don't be so shocked," Cao Gui said. "Odin's first child. If he doesn't want people to know, it's very difficult for others to find out."

On the screen, the three siblings in a simple conversation were full of tension. Thor was furious because of his father's death and had nowhere to vent his anger, while Hela had just broken free from her seal and was very unhappy with her two younger brothers who were vying for the throne.

Without a word, Thor didn't hesitate and swung Mjolnir, throwing it out instantly.

However, Mjolnir, who had always been invincible, was caught by Hela with one hand.

Thor's expression changed slightly, and he immediately exclaimed, "You...you controlled Mjolnir?"

"Little cutie, you have no idea of ​​my power... Huh?" Seeing Thor's shocked expression, Hela, who was about to show off, suddenly paused and raised an eyebrow:

"How did you know? Odin actually told you about me?"

To be honest, Hela was really shocked. Knowing Odin as she did, she knew that the old man couldn't possibly allow her deeds to be passed down in Asgard.

“No, you’re not the first person in this world to receive Mjolnir from me,” Thor said, his face twitching slightly with displeasure.

In the mirror space, Cao Gui touched his nose somewhat, feeling ashamed to admit that Thor had become a bit more mature because of him.

Upon hearing Thor's words, Hela's expression flashed with annoyance, but she then smiled slightly and tightened her grip on Mjolnir's hand. Mjolnir immediately began to tremble slightly, and tiny cracks began to appear on the square hammerhead.

"Damn it, what have you done?" Thor immediately roared, his mind focused on the appearance of Mjolnir, which he quickly recognized.

boom!

Before the words were even finished, blinding lightning suddenly erupted, electric snakes flew about, and a powerful shockwave burst forth instantly.

A blinding light flashed, and Mjolnir, who had accompanied Thor through countless battles, crumbled into pieces and fell lifelessly.

"what?!"

Not only Thor and Loki, but even Strange in the Mirror Dimension was in disbelief. Mjolnir was destroyed, and in such a way.

"Take us back now!" Loki shouted to the sky. He never confronted anyone head-on, and he would never resort to underhanded tactics. His older sister was too domineering, so he had to find another way.

However... he forgot one thing: Odin had said that Hela would receive a continuous stream of power upon returning to Asgard.

"No!"

Thor hadn't forgotten this incident. He knew Hela couldn't return to Asgard, so Thor suddenly rushed out, ready to fight Hela again.

However, the seven-colored light fell and instantly took them both away.

"Heh... Foolish little brother!" Hela sneered disdainfully, her gaze sweeping across the void.

In the mirror space, Hela's gaze met that of Cao Gui and the other person.

"Interesting, you managed to be discovered." Cao Gui chuckled, the space gem in his palm glowing faintly, and the spatial gate slowly opened, instantly bringing the three of them face to face.

“The mages of Midgard.” Hela nodded slightly. As the eldest daughter who accompanied Odin in his rise to power, she had experienced the conflicts between her father and the Celestials, and she knew that Midgard was not as kind and easy to bully as it seemed on the surface.

“Your Highness,” Strange nodded slightly, “I am responsible for protecting the Earth, which is what you call Midgard.”

"I will not get involved in Asgard's affairs, and I hope Your Highness will not put me in a difficult position."

Hela smiled, completely ignoring Strange, and walked to the traces left by the Rainbow Bridge. Dark green light shone and poured in, and seven-colored light instantly shot into the sky, disappearing from Cao Gui and the other's sight.

"Looks like Asgard is in trouble..." Strange said quietly, looking at the towering rainbow pillar.

"Ragnarok." Cao Gui shrugged. "Asgard is doomed."

As he spoke, the portal flickered slightly and reappeared beside the shattered Mjolnir.

“What use is this pile of scrap metal?” Strange asked, frowning.

"Master Strange, if you can't speak properly, then shut up," Cao Gui said irritably, reaching out and grabbing at the air, crackling arcs of electricity flashing in his hand.

Meanwhile, the scattered fragments of Mjolnir floated up and, to Strange's astonishment, all the fragments reformed into a complete Mjolnir, identical to the original except for the cracks on it.

Rumble!

A sudden clap of thunder roared across the sky, and as the lightning struck, a suit of Asgardian-style armor appeared on Cao Gui, identical to the one Thor wore.

There was even an extra winged helmet and mask, making him look exactly like the Asgardian Thor.

"My God... how did you do that?" Strange's eyes widened. How could that be possible?

“A person with a righteous heart and high moral character… can lift Mjolnir.” Cao Gui shook the hammer in his hand and smiled slightly.

Strange's face twitched. Forgive my bluntness, but I couldn't tell at all!

Strange turned and left, afraid that if he stayed with this guy any longer, he would become arrogant, narcissistic, shameless, and utterly brazen.

"Oh, right, Strange." Cao Gui seemed to remember something and quickly called out to him, "Karmar-Taj has a star map, right? Can I borrow it for a moment?"

Cao Gui remembered that the Ancient One had said that Kaecilius had traveled through the stars. It was because of this that he was controlled by Thanos and, in a moment of madness, thought about finding the Infinity Stones and even went so far as to approach Cao Gui.

If Dormammu hadn't helped Kaecilius in the end, he would have been dead in the Mirror Dimension and wouldn't have had the chance to live to see Strange become a wizard.

Upon hearing Cao Gui's words, Strange paused for a moment, then his eyes flashed, and he pursed his lips: "No!"

"Karmar-Taj focuses on dealing with dimensional enemies; extraterrestrials are not within Kamar-Taj's scope of business, and there are no star maps or anything like that."
